Linksys WRT54GC keeps resetting

Out of sudden my Linksys wireless router started to reset a few times a day. This results in all customisations being lost and having default SSID without encryption.
I successfully upgraded the firmware to the latest version 2 build but not change. In the limited logs of the router I don't see anything strange.
There is no problem with router's functionality, it's just that it keeps resetting and then I have to reconfigure all the previous settings. Importing them is not a long term solution.
From time to time the Power LED light is orange (this could result in reboots). I have no idea why this problem occurs.
The user guide says nothing about the orange light ot the power LED. Could be some hardware problem but it is something not persistent.
Any hints are appreciated.

Make sure the power adapter is properly connected to the router and to the power outlet. Make sure also it is the correct power adapter for the router. The output of the power adapter should be 3.3 V DC, 2.0 A. If the power adapter is correct, then it could be a possible hardware issue. Make sure the firmware has the version 1.06.1. If it is the latest firmware installed, do a firmware re-flash. It means, you still need to do an upgrade using the same firmware version. After that, do a reset and powercycle the router. After the upgrade process, reconfigure the router.

Windows vista - issues w/ linksys WRT54GC?

i have a new laptop running windows vista basic and i've tried two wireless routers so far - dlink DI-524 and now the Linksys WRT54GC.
With the dlink, I was able to connect, but unable to create a WEP password. Also, I named the network Home123, but it kept showing up as 'default' in My Networks. my wife was using her MacBook and it kept showing up as 'default' also.
So I purchased the new Linksys WRT54GC because the Dlink was over 2 years old and thought that may have been an issue. Well, tonight, I was able to connect to the Internet again, but the cdrom setup never recognized my router and it never asked me for creating a password.
Does anyone know is Vista has issues with wireless routers? Am I doing something wrong??
thanks!

corleone, thanks, tried this.
but still no dice. on my vista network manager, my pc is connected to the router correctly, but the router is not connected to the internet at all. there is a red X. i asked vista to diagnose it and it said there may be a DNS issue...
can anyone help?
last resort is to get an airport exreme from apple for my wife's mac. but i heard windows have issues with airports..
thanks.

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

WRT 330N V1 keeps Resetting Cable Modem

I have the issue that the router (Wrt330N Version 1) keeps resetting my Modem connection. I have turned off the wireless portion of the router and it doesn't happen as often. I have tried to get my money back no luck, I have reinstalled the eprom update that tech support told me to do and still resetting. 10 times allready today that it has reset. Anybody have any suggestions other than throwing it away and buying something else! I have had several Linksys routers in the past and all have been great except this one. Yes I have the lastest eprom.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Connect your computer straight to the modem and check for a stable connection...If you have a stable connection then download the firmware from here
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device: -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...
Then, unplug the power cable while holding down the reset button for another 30 Seconds...
Plug the power cable back in, and keep holding down the reset button for another 30 Seconds...
Release the reset button...Now re-configure your router...Hope it resolves your concern...

WRT54G Keeps Resetting - Help!

Just bought router a couple of weeks ago, and it keeps resetting. First I lose internet connectivity, and when I bring up the Linksys Advisor, it goes into the initial setup like I've never done it. It worked fine up until a few days ago. Any idea what is going on?

don't really rely on the easy link advisor sometimes it's not accurate. do you frequently have power outtage in the area?sometimes it affects the settings of the router.also try to configure the router properly if not familiar on how to do that try to get in touch with the phone support

My Linksys WRT54GC router frequently stops wireless broadcasting

My Linksys WRT54GC (version2) model router frequently stops wireless broadcasting and I have to unplug and replug the power cable to connect again.
After some time, it again suddenly stops wireless broadcast until it's repowered.
I've been having this problem for over 2 weeks now and tried the latest firmware upgrade and resetted the router for countless times but couldn't solve the problem.
Anyone, has experience in this issue, has any reccomendation ?

Whats the Wireless Settings you have set on your Router (SSID, Channel, Security)?
Try different Wireless Channels on your Router from 1 or 11 and check if you are able to view your wireless network on your computer.

Iphone now it says it needs to be activated and plugged into itunes. It wont let me do anything because it keeps resetting. Help please.

I cant coonect it to the computer because the iphone keeps resetting itself and the restore or activation cannot be completed. Do I just need to get a new iphone? I have a 3gs and dont want to get a new iphone. Also the iphones sim card wont work and I have tried to do a hard reset mutiple times.

Sounds like your phone was jailbroken. If it was, you will need to get another phone. That phone is permanently disabled.

User Settings keep resetting

I have an I-Mac. I keep using the get Info to set my preferance for opening photos and other items. I find that the computer keeps resetting them to the default settings. For example I want my .jpeg files to open with Adobe Photoshop but they keep resetting to preview. I want certain items to open in Firefox but it keeps resetting to Safari. What am I doing wrong?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You are doing nothing wrong. It sounds like LaunchServices is confused.
Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the command line to rebuild LaunchServices:
Code:
<pre class="alt2" style="margin:0px; padding:3px; border:1px inset; width:640px; height:34px; overflow:auto">/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user</pre>
Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know

Ipod will not charge, keeps resetting, extremely low battery.

Someone please help!!
I adore my Ipod, its 2+, it was working fine, till a few months ago.
In the beginning, it stopped charging on the computer, it synced, but i would have to charge in on a Ipod radio thing first.
Then after awhile, on the radio, (it worked perfectly at first) the ipod would come up with the message, "This accessory not supported by Ipod", it would still play on it, movies, songs, and charge it, but the message would come up every often.
Now it refused to be recognized by the radio, and won't charge.
(yet if you press play the song and movies will play)
It had very little battery left so i bought a wall charger.
I tried charging with a wall charger and car charger!
Now its basically dead, and when i plug it on to the wall charger, the apple logo comes on, and it goes to low battery message, then apple logo..again again.
It just keeps resetting, so i took it off that.
Leaving on the charger for awhile won't work, because it just keeps doing that.
What do i do?
I can't restore it, because i'd have to charge it first!
(I got a new battery for it a few weeks ago, the battery life was way better, charged a bit faster, and it seemed to work better, but the computer still drained it)
Anybody have any ideas?
Please please please.
I swear i love it, but i'm going to throw it out the window soon.
-edit,
just to add, the first thing that went wrong, that started this thing, was when i got that -48 error, it doesn't do that anymore just to add

I have the same problem and sent my ipod to a the service center for a battery replacement. I was informed by them first by email that "Our technicians have performed full diagnostic checks on your IPOD 5TH GENERATION and have been unable to reproduce the symptom(s) you reported when you requested the repair. As a result of our tests, we can confirm that your product meets Apple specifications for performance, usability, and functionality." then I was told over the phone that they reloaded the software and firmware and that it is working properly and is being sent back to me. Then, and heres the kicker, I received my i pod back with a form stating it was a hardware failure affecting another component. I have since called multiple times and no one can tell me where the hardware failure is but the ipod still says its a battery issue. Go figure i think apple knows exactly what the faulty part is that is causing this error and has no solution short of replacing the unit and they dont want to replace the units of all those with this hardware failure

X-fi extrememusic keeps resetting to 2/2.1 speakers on a restart after vista upgr

I checked the knowledgebase and it said to make sure x-fi is default device and disable other devices, which I have done, but everytime I reboot the settings in audio console keep resetting to 2/2. speaker configuration when I used 5.. If I manually set it, it works until a restart. Using driver package Any ideas?

If you actually performed an upgrade installation of vista from xp i can almost guarantee you nothing will work perfectly as it should. Upgrade installations never work perfectly and tend to lag quickly , i recommend that you perform clean install of vista if you plan on using it for a while. You probably didn't want to hear that but unfortunately thats the way windows has always been.
goodluck

Serious iPod problem (iPod keeps resetting)

I've had my iPod for almost 2 years and until now everything worked fine. i listen to it on average 1 hr each day, and until 2 days ago battery seemed fine (I would recharge it each week, though it would be only half empty).
So 2 days ago I was listening to music, tried to go forward and all of a sudden it stopped playing music, it was just frozen. I reset it and it came back with a "sad" iPod icon. Ocassionaly it would end up with the icon as if the battery is dead. I reset it a few more times and mostlt I got the same "sad" icon and only a few times the battery icon.
I than tried to hook it up to my computer via USB and it would just reset and PC/iTunes would not see it.
Since I've had it for 2 years I thought maybe the battery has gone bad (but does it happen just like that without any signs?) so I tried to charge itbut when I connect it to charger it keeps resetting.
I than tried to force it into disc mode and that worked but as soon as I connected it to my computer it would reset. Even when I tried to charge it in disc mode it would reset after a few secunds.
So, if left alone it is in off mode, but if I push any button it starts up, and eventually shows the sad iPod icon. If plugged into the charger or PC it keeps resetting.
I have no way to get into it and update the iTunes, or access iPod. Has anyone seen this? Does is sound like a battery or is it something worse? I am out of warranty and would not want to spend too much money fixing it since it probably does not worth much, though i wish I could save my iTunes collection...

Hey guys, I'm having a similar problem though a slight variation on a theme. maybe you can help me out.
I have a 4th generation iPod (20 Gig) and it told me my ipod battery had died, so i plugged it into my computer to charge. It started out showing me the large symbol of the battery with the lightening bolt until there was enough to power the iPod so that it could run with iTunes. Except once it finally had enough power and interacted with iTunes it went into a black and white mode instead of the normal color mode and the the battery icon up in the top right corner was black with the lightening bolt. I got the normal "do not disconnect" message except that was black and grey as well.
I figured i'd update my ipod as it was still charging and added a new playlist and it appeared to take the music, but when I unplugged the ipod it showed me the icon of the folder with the exclamation point and gave me the address http://www.apple.com/support/ipod. Since i didn't have time then i reset it and then plugged it in via a car charger to see if charging it would fix the problem. Unfortunately, when I unplugged it from the computer to take to the car and reset it, it started rebooting over and over. I was able to force it into disc mode so that it would continue to charge without wasting so much battery rebooting (it didn't reboot in disc mode) and continued to work on it when i got home.
At home i tried every fix they have listed on the site and in my ipod handbook and nothing has worked. I have reset, restored twice, and charged the battery. The weird thing is that it
1) is recognized by itunes
2) just turns off if i try to use the charger
3) appears to be able to download music to it but makes a clicking noise
4) since it doesn't recognize the charger I can't finish the restore process
5) still gives me the folder icon when it tries to turn on
PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN!
If you can think of anything i can do to fix this I will be so appreciative.
Thanks guys!

My 60 GB ipod video just keeps resetting itself. I have tried to reset it and plug it into my computer, what should I do??
Windows Windows XP

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Force an app to close: Hold down the On/Off button for a few seconds until a red slider appears,
then hold down the Home button until the app quits.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
If still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
