I believe your router is acting that way because the initial installation was not successful. I've had the same issue having a modem-router connected with my Linksys router. It is possible that even if your modem-router is already set to bridge mode, it is still using a Private IP (which is the WAN IP of the router). If the modem-router is using a Private IP, it will cause a conflict with the Private IP Address of the Linksys router. I would suggest you reset the router to factory defaults and reconfigure it manually by accessing the router page.
You check this link. You will need to agree and continue with an open network before you can open the Router password page.
If you have wireless dropping connection in your network, I suggest you check this link.
Hope this helps!

Firefox hangs nearly every time I am working in Blackboard.
I teach on line using Blackboard. Since installing Wndows 7 Firefox hangs nearly every time I am working in Blackboard...and this is every day. Firefox doesn't hang on my home desktop using Vista 64. I have all the latest Java updates and have continually queried Blackboard for a solution with no result.
Could you describe the new window in more detail? For example, is it an ad for something, or a login page, etc.
Since this occurs so regularly, I think it would make sense to try browsing for an hour in Firefox's Safe Mode to see whether that makes any difference. This will temporarily disable your extensions, which are the type of add-on most likely to cause mischief.
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled ''(Flash and other plugins still work)''
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference? -
EA6500 - hangs every day, must power cycle
I bought a EA6500 a few weeks ago, and so far this has been a terrible experience.
Physical setup
At home, I have a cable modem working as a bridge. No NATing, just a media conversion from Coax to RJ45 ethernet. Thus the EA6500 has an official IP on it's WAN interface.
Installation
On my first attempt to install it I had to give up after an hour. The fancy setup program on the CD never found the router, and I had some work to do. Thus, I reconnected my old router to get reconnected to the internet.
Five days ago I finally found the time to give it another go. Once again, the setup program on the CD had a hard time finding the router. When it finally found it, I could never finish the configuration routine. I supplied all the information needed, and the progress bar grew to 60% and then the setup program said it couldn't finish the install. This happened on every attempt. I disabled my antivirus and firewall, but no success. I tried to connect using a cable instead of WLAN - no success. It appears that the Setup program relies on WLAN only to get access to the router.
The first time I got a successful connection between my PC and the EA6500, the router asked me to download and install an updated firmware. This worked OK, even though the config was not 100% successful. Thus I guess the router is running the most current firmware. I can't verify this right now as I am at work.
After a while I tried to access the router's web interface directly without completing the setup program. This way, I was finally able to finish the router config and get access to the internet. During the web config the connection to internet came and went several times.
Use
After finishing the config, I downloaded the Smart WiFi app to my iPhone 4s and could connect to the router. This seem to work OK when I do have an internet connection. The problem is that the router freezes every day, sometimes 2-3 times a day and all internet connection is lost for my entire home network.
When this happens, all LAN lights kind of dim down without disappearing completely, and the router is nonresponsive. The link light on my cable modem (a bridge, not a router) dies, indicating that the link was lost. I have to use the power switch to turn the router off/on for it to wake up and resume it's work.
More often than not, the router has frozen when noone has used the network. As net use is usually limited to afternoons and evenings, the router is more often than not just idling when it freezes.
The router can not be said to be stressed or working hard. So far I have only used it to surf for news (2 iPads, 2 phones, three PCs) and stream a couple of movies using Netflix. No torrents or other connection intensive programs have been used. No USB-disks are attached.
What to do?
Can anyone give me a hint as to where I should start looking. I don't have the time for days of diagnostics work. If I can't get the router to work anytime soon I will return it and my more than 10 year long Linksys relationship is most likely over. Trust is a fresh commodity, and my trust in Linksys is about to pass it's best before date due to several bad experiences the last year...I believe your router is acting that way because the initial installation was not successful. I've had the same issue having a modem-router connected with my Linksys router. It is possible that even if your modem-router is already set to bridge mode, it is still using a Private IP (which is the WAN IP of the router).

Kernel Panics Every Day need some help
I had another post thinking Safari was the cause but now I'm gettin them in Entourage, Word, during a quicktime update. Here's a screen shot of the panic (I happened to have my Camera). I'm on 10.4.9, 1.5 gig ram. Apple just replaced my screen because it went bad & to be honest that's when these panics started happening can there be a corolation ?

Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
You could also try a Restore if the reset doesn't work.
You may have defective batteries. Were these purchased new? -
How to resolve "you need to power off" screen looping
I fitted a new hard drive to my MacBook. Have restored from a Time Machine back-up. I have the "you need to power off" screen but every time I power off and power back on I first get the Apple logo screen and then the "you need to power off" screen.
I have read elsewhere it is probably caused by restoring a Snow Leopard backup using a Leopard disc. So I think I need to do the restore again but can't get out of the "you need to power off" loop....also see Resolving Kernel Panics and Mac OS X: How to log a kernel panic.

Connect to iTunes required after every power off of Ipad 64GB wifi
My Ipad 64GB wifi model continually prompts to "connect to iTunes" every time I power off and power back on. This is extremely frustrating and the Apple Customer Care has asked that I return my iPad. I would rather find a solution since I am working Iraq and my Ipad is my e-book reader (in place of a Kindle. Steps taken thus far:
Reset iPad (Erase All Content and Settings)
Reset Network settings
Reset All Settings (content not erased)
I've read that this problem sometimes occurs with some third-party applications installed (like Jailbird) . I do not have any of those applications installed. If anyone can offer a solution I would greatly appreciate it.
DanielleSince you erased all content and reinstalled the OS and this still happens, sounds like a hardware failure. You need to take the iPad back to an Apple store for an exchange.

AIR-LAP-1142N-E-K9 unexpected power offs
Hi we have two seperate Cisco wireless networks both based around the same infrastructure.
Cisco 5508 WLC/s running 7.4.100 Firmware in our datacentre, with AIR-LAP-1142N-E-K9 LAPS distributed at site offices.
This infrastructure has been running well until recently when we have had a spate of the LAPS appearing to power off.
The LAP appears to be off with no LED status light as if it has been powered off, but the power supplies are still connected and the LAPS are often warm to the touch as if drawing power even when they have been "off" for a couple of days.
Unplugging the power supply (at the LAP) and re-applying brings the LAP back on.
The LAPS involved all used the recommended Cisco manufactured power supplies as there was no POE/power injector infrastructure.
The LAPS vanish from the WLC as if disconnected, without any apparent errors in the WLC logs.
There are no crash logs for the LAPS which have powered off.
Console output from a LAP which has powered off on startup just shows the AP coming back from a "cold start".
LAPS operate normally after restart, but after avariable period, typically 2-7 days will power off again.
This is happening across multiple sites, to LAPS connected to different WLCs.
Has anyone seen this issue before?The LAP appears to be off with no LED status light as if it has been powered off, but the power supplies are still connected and the LAPS are often warm to the touch as if drawing power even when they have been "off" for a couple of days.
Gareth,
Just want to make sure you are using a power brick/power injector. Can you please confirm?
Had issues with 7.4 when I noticed that some of my APs, running in PoE, would suddenly get "lost". They would suddenly reboot and they wouldn't negotiate PoE properly. I had to manually shut down the ports for at least 5 seconds. If I don't leave it off for that long the APs simply won't boot up.
Ever since I've moved to 7.5, I haven't seen this happen.
There is a well-known bug, can't seem to find it, about 1140 and WLC firmware 7.4. If I remembered correctly, the bug describes what you are seeing.
You may want investigate in using 7.5. -

My time Capsule is now 3 months in operation and now every day shutdown automatically and the power is completely off and my network is down. Any idea what is happening?
The Time Capsule has a defective power supply and it needs to be exchanged as soon as possible. Soon, you will not be able to power it back up at all after it shuts down.
Take the Time Capsule to an Apple Store, if you have one near you, or contact Apple Support to get the process started.

Do you have to down load Mountain Lion from the internet every time you need to do a clean install? or can you make a copy of Mt Lion onto a USB stick and install off that?
ThanksYes you can make a USB stick of Lion or Mt Lion. Use Lion Disk Maker after you download OS X from the internet.
For Lion you have to point the download to an external drive and watch when it completes and reboots the system to start the install disconnect the external. If you bought Mt Lion from the Mac App Store then you can download it from there and just cancel the install when it comes up on the desktop.
If you are downloading from the Recovery HD or from the Online Internet Recovery system, slightly different then the built in Recovery HD, then again you need to point it to an external drive and discoonect that drive when the system reboots to start the real install.
Then use Lion disk maker to create either a DVD disc or USB thumb of the install files. -
Apple every day is looking more alike Microsoft leaving the loyal costumers hanging by not updating EFI so 2006 inte macpro can run mountain Lion
Greetings,
The EFI is not why a 2006 MACPro cannot run ML, the thing is almost an antique, when you consider how fast things move in the tech world.
No one says that you have to update to ML - I still have a G4 running plain old Leopard, and it works for me for what I need it for. I have several Macs (7) of all ages, and only three of them can run ML, but only two of them ever will, until I buy a new one.
If ML is that important to you, then it's time to upgrade - normal upgrade paths for over 90% of us is three, to four years, max, to keep up with the latest and greatest. Its Ok to keep th eolder machines for th eusual run of the mill activities, like email, surfing the web, playing music, the odd video, etc.
Cheers,

MyRIO_problem need to re deploy every time the power is switch OFF
Hi,
I just want to ask u about MyRIO.
After i deploy program into MyRIO. I can run .
However went i power off the power supply and ON it back, the previous program unable to run. I need to re deploy the program again.
So, how to run the program without to re deploy the program. Which mean that as we power ON the MyRIO, the program run continuously. (no need to redownload the program).
Maybe you can help on this.
Tq

Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi Sazli,
Try to build an executable application from the RT VI using the Build Specification and set the executable real-time application to Run On Startup. Then the executable would automatically stat up as soon as myRIO boots. -
as many of you do, I use time capsule as airport, too...
It worked fine for 6 months or so after I bought the new time capsule. (I bought it in September 2012.)
Since the beginning of this year, I had to reset, and power off and plug it in almost every week, then now I need to reset and power off and back on again every day...
When I first set up the time capsule, I followed the instruction with the manual.
But, now I am so lost and don't want to reset every day for wifi connection.
Anyone has problem like me or knows how to solve this issue?
Please help..
I have MacBook Pro OS X 10.8.4 & my roommates have PCs. (just in case if it helps...)For PC it is important the wireless has names that are compatible.. short.. like 10 characters.. but 2-20 is fine. no spaces.. and pure alphanumeric.
Use WPA2 personal only.. with pure alphanumeric password .. again 10-20 characters should be fine.
The latest firmware is a dud. Go back to 7.6.1
Open the airport utility.. click on the TC and holding the option key click the actual version number..
Go back to 7.6.1 is simple.. just select it and away it will go.. ignore future requests for upgrade.. you can also tell the utility not to check weekly for updates. You will need 5.6 utility for this I think..
So do the firmware downgrade.
Then do a factory reset and follow the name information above.. for TC name as well btw.. wireless name/s and disk share name.. which by default is data and that is fine.
So some instructions in...
The Factory Reset.
Power down the TC.
Hold in reset. and keep holding it in. Be Gentle! It is a tiny surface mount switch with a plastic lever.. Attempting to push it out the other side of the TC will not make the switch turn on better.
(I fix TC and have several reset levers bent over and jammed or broken off).
Power on the TC.. remember with the reset held in.. this needs three arms.. a friend or power switch you can get to with your feet..
Keep holding in reset for about 10sec until the front LED flashes rapidly.
Release reset and wait .. the boot will be slow as it deletes previous setting.. only from router side and pulls out the factory defaults. No files are deleted on the hard disk.. but the name of the TC may change.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
Leave the package open on the desktop so you can see the file. AirportUtility56.pkg
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. If your Mac refuses to run the software, because it wasn’t downloaded from the Apple store, go to security in preferences and allow other software to work.. this is limitation of trade methinks. You can set back later if you like.
Now drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. in finder, open the new directory, drill down.. applications, utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. although I have had no problems when doing so.
You can also load airport utility into a pc and get access to all the settings. Untick the box for firmware updates.. it will still bug you occasionally.. regardless of the setting.. just ignore it..
You might still need to do the occasional reboot of the TC as well.
