Loosing connection with WRT54G

I set up my router to the cable modem in Dec. So far all has been well. In the past month, I kept getting a pop up to dial a modem. I set the connection to "never dial" and it stopped. Now everytime I turn on the pc's (I have 3 connected to the router) I have to unplug the power to the router to get it to reset. I loose the VPN connection on one and the other two have no internet connection until I reset the modem. After resetting, it works okay for a few hours sometimes, then I have to reset it again. The cable co. has been out several times and cloned the MAC address, reset a new MAC address, tested the cable signal strength and a bunch of other things but still no luck. I don't get why this started all of a sudden. The cable guy told me that possibly someone cloned my signal from my router to get on and when they're on it bumps me off. But after he reset the MAC address, it still does it. What gives?
On edit: I have the router hard wired with LAN cables instead of wireless if this helps.

1. Connect your PC directly to the router via LAN cable port.
DON'T try this via wireless...
2. Unzip and place the .bin file on your desktop.
3. Log on to your router's settings page and go to the Administration tab. Then select update firmware.
3. Use the browse button and navigate to the .bin file on your desktop.
4. Click update and then wait. DO NOT INTERUPT THE PROCESS. This can ruin the router.
I hope this helps, although, all of this information is in the Linksys faq.
Good luck.
And yes, our provider was doing a lot of updating and causing us some outages. But the older firmware does not work properly if you are surrounded by lots of other networks. The new firmware fixes these issues.
PS check to see that the time is correct on your router in the status page. If it is not, your DST and TZ settings can mess up your router's WAN connectivity.Message Edited by ajtcl on 03-29-200708:20 PM

Hi, stig2013.
I would recommend the steps in the article below. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

If you are receiving an error message, find the exact error number that you recieved in the article below and process the steps.
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

Got new ATV and all set up. It keeps loosing connection with iTunes on laptop and have tried everything suggested in set up guide. It works fine for a while then the iTunes account vanishes from 'computer' menu TV screen. Full Wifi signal on both devices

Got new ATV and all set up. It keeps loosing connection with iTunes on laptop and have tried everything suggested in set up guide. It works fine for a while then the iTunes account vanishes from 'computer' menu TV screen. Full Wifi signal on both devices so can't think what could be causing it to happen. Any suggestions please?

Sorry, I updated another thread I was a part of but didn't update my own thread.....ughhh!
I updated all of my ATV 2's and 3's to the latest firmware when it was released and have been problem free since. I do believe the major issue of not being able to connect after a period of inactivity has been corrected with the latest ATV firmware.
I can look at my network connection table using "netstat -an" in a CMD window and I do not see the massive number of connections I saw before the update.
Here is a link to the other thread I was referring to above:

Have you applied the latest firmware updates to your ATV 3's?

MacBook looses connection with external monitor

Hey Apple humans!
I have a MacBook Pro (mid 2009) and an external monitor Samsung SyncMaster XL2370 connected via DVI/DisplayPort. Works fine since the mid of 2009 but in the last few days the MacBook looses connection with the monitor and isn't able to get the connection up again. The button "Monitore recognise" (don't know the exact translation of it in english) in preferences doesn't work, even a reboot brings nothing.
I've changed nothing on the setup, only the newest patches for OS X were installed. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english, right now I'm to ****** to concentrate

have a Mac Pro with 2 Samsung syncmasters and after updating os x to 10.6.6 computer loose the connection with the monitors. Randomly it seems, might work for a while and suddenly go black.
Have to restart the Mac. I'm sure it's related to the os update. Tried all resets, throwing prefs, emptying
cache but nothing helps.

Why my IPAD2 sometimes loose connection with my router and I need to enter again the WPA password?

Why when my IPAD2 loose connection with the router sometime I need to enter again WPA2 password?

same problem here.
MBA (latest os), even my ip5 (latest ios) & ipm (also latest ios) looses the connecntion.
Ive tried to figure out what causes the problem - neither my xbox360 nor (and i guessed they will be the problem) the pcs here...
the connecntion runs well.. switching also (MBA-IP5-IPM).. but not for longer than an hour.. or even minutes. When the connection looses a high-frequency noise is followed by silence. A restart fix that problem and all devices streaming well... but not for long...
any suggestions?

Are you losing the connection to iTunes on the iPad or the computer? You are saying that iTunes is updated. Of course iTunes is updated when you update the iOS software. That's a no brainer.
If you mean that iTunes is updated on the computer, that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with downloading and updating apps on the iPad itself so changing the date on the iPad, signing in and out of the stores on the iPad .... Doing any of that on the iPad would have nothing to do with iTunes on your computer.
If .... you have not been able to connect to the iTunes or app stores at all on the iPad - try this ...
Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If you can't connect at all - you can also try rebooting your router. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

Issues with client looses connection with 6.0.196.0

Hi,
We recently upgraded our Wisms to version 6.0.196.0 and after the upgrade we have seen the clients sometimes looses connectivity and has problems to connect. We use an network with 802.1x and PeapMschapv2 with dynamic WEP.
We have disabled aggresive load-balancing but still see the issues.
Any ideas anyone?

Hi,
Any news for these problems? Did the version 7.x fix these CAPWAP UP/DOWN problems with HREAP APs? It seems that I'm having these same problems now. Local APs seems to be fine, but HREAP APs goes UP/DOWN with versions 6.0.196.0 and 6.0.199.4.
There are three 4404 WLCs, where are different sites' office and warehouse APs connected to. The environment is configured as N + N + 1
like following:
WLC1 is for officeAPs. APs are 1131 and they're configured as H-REAP
WLC2 is for warehouseAPs. APs are 1242 and they're configured as Local
WLC3 is for backup and I used this for testing.
After I updated all the WLCs at summer to version 6.0.196.0, there have been issues where the clients looses randomly WLAN-connections. But the complaints just came from the two largest offices. And these didn't happend immeaditly after the update, but after few months. It can be that the summer holidays was reason for it. After some investigations, I updated the WLC3 for version 6.0.199.4, which just got released at the time, and moved these two largest offices' APs to there. Complaints stopped but after a month the second largest office informed that the clients' disconnections started to raise again and the WLAN-network has become unstable again. First there was just couple of issues but it have been raised as the time goes by.
When I made some more investigation to this site, I noticed that the APs' CAPWAP goes DOWN and UP randomly for a second:
*Nov 12 07:39:29.537: %CAPWAP-5-CHANGED: CAPWAP changed state to DOWN
*Nov 12 07:39:29.590: %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Dot11Radio0, changed state to administratively down
*Nov 12 07:39:29.590: %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Dot11Radio1, changed state to administratively down
*Nov 12 07:39:29.759: %CAPWAP-5-CHANGED: CAPWAP changed state to UP
*Nov 12 07:39:29.811: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Dot11Radio0, changed state to up
*Nov 12 07:39:29.812: %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Dot11Radio1, changed state to reset
*Nov 12 07:39:29.849: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Dot11Radio1, changed state to up
*Nov 12 07:39:29.850: %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Dot11Radio0, changed state to reset
*Nov 12 07:39:29.889: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Dot11Radio0, changed state to up
Then I investigated some more and noticed that this happens on all of the H-REAP APs and almost in the same time:
*Nov 12 07:39:29.537: %CAPWAP-5-CHANGED: CAPWAP changed state to DOWN - WLC3, second largest site's AP (6.0.199.4)
*Nov 12 07:40:17.439: %CAPWAP-5-CHANGED: CAPWAP changed state to DOWN - WLC3, second largest site's other AP (6.0.199.4)
*Nov 12 07:41:20.297: %CAPWAP-5-CHANGED: CAPWAP changed state to DOWN - WLC3, largest site's AP (6.0.199.4)
*Nov 12 07:42:31.928: %CAPWAP-5-CHANGED: CAPWAP changed state to DOWN - WLC1, random site's AP (6.0.196.0)
When I checked the warehouseAPs, which are configured as local in the WLC2 (6.0.196.0), there was nothing like this in the logs. Logs are clean.
But when H-REAP is configured for these APs, the clients should not be disconnected when the CAPWAP goes down? And this whole "process" seems to last just for a second. Not sure if this is the real reason for these client disconnections, but at least this is not normal. I haven't heard complaints from smaller sites, even when APs at them also does the same.
I don't feel great to update the WLCs for the version 7.x, because it just seems to be new feature release, but if it fixes these, then I should think about it. Has someone, who had these same problems, got this fixed with version 7? Or has TAC provide some other patches for this?
Thanks,
Joni

Loosing connection with my xbox360

Hi everyone, I just purchased a wrt160n router and I am wireless with my xbox360. While on xbox live playing an online game "cod4" I can't get through a game most of the time without loosing a connection, with the 54gs router I had there was not an issue. Any help would be appreciated!!

Try few wireless settings on the Router ...
Access setup page of router ....
Click on Advanced Wireless
settings>>Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation
Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings" ....
See if it shows stable connection with X-BOX ....

Unstable WPA connection with WRT54G 2.2 (firmware 4.30.5)

Hello everybody,
I'm experiencing some unstability in my wireless connection with my WRT54G router.
By the past, the router was working perfectly. Last week I've upgraded the firmware to the version 4.30.5. Since then I have to power off the router every morning to connect my Centrino laptop to it.
FYI, my router is a WRT54G model 2.2. I'm using Mixed Mode (B+G) + WPA2 Personal (TKIP+AES) with a Group Key Renewal = 3600 seconds. My router is using the wifi channel 4 and there is no other access point on this channel. On my laptop, I'm running a Windows XP SP2 with the latest system patches.
Please also note that my router is now identifying itself as a WRT54GL (in its web pages) and not just WRT54G. Not sure if it's an issue or not.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
PatrickMessage Edited by pbateman on 11-07-200601:54 AM

You mean that on the setup page of the router its says WRT54GL instead of the actual model?
When you try to turn off your router are you still wilrelessly connected?

DNS lost connection with WRT54G

I have the following problem with my WRT54G v.8 router. Sometimes when I turn on on the computer I can not access the internet. I am using a wireless connection using Vista. Running the diagnose and repair option in Vista it says there is not connection with DNS. I make a ping to the router and it is ok, ping to the cable modem and it is ok, and obviously ping to DNS and they don´t answer. After powering off and powering on the router I have again the internet connection. After some days or sessions the problem repeats. Maybe somebody have a solution for this kind of problem.

hi... try upgrading/reflashing firmware on the router, go to www.linksys.com/download and download the latest firmware for the router, after reflashing firmware on the router, reset the router back to factory default settings and logon to router's setup page, reconfigure it according to ISP settings, reduce MTU to 1458, go to wireless settings try changing wireless channel to 11, go to advanced wireless settings and reduce beacon interval to 50, fragmentation and RTS threshold to 2304...check whether it works or not...

Router looses connection with modem

My WRK54G wireless router keeps losing connection with my Comcast broadband modem. My connection with the router remains, but I lose internet connection. After rebooting the modem and router, my connection lasts no more than 5 minutes.
I tried to upgrade my Firmware but it did not install corrctly. (error during upgrade).
Any ideas on what I can try?

If you loose the connection on all the computers(wired and wireless) then, you should connect a computer straight to the modem and test the internet connection...See what happens and if you face the similar problem then it is not your router...
If you have stable connection straight from the modem, then, you should upgrade your router's firmware...
As the upgrade failed, you need to download TFTP Utility...Also download the router's firmware from here , make sure you select the correct version and then download the firmware...
Double click the tftp.exe file and click run :
For Server- Enter the IP Address of the router that you assigned. By default, the router is 192.168.1.1...
For Password- Enter the password you assigned the router. By default, the router’s password is “admin”.
For File- Click the triple “…” button and browse for the .bin firmware file...
Click Upgrade button to start upgrading. A progress bar should show up to show the progress.
Once the Upgrade is done press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

Dropping Connection with WRT54GS v4

I have had a problem for the last week where my router drops connection intermittently about every 20-30 minutes. Once it drops, I have to unplug the router and modem and start over. It happens over and over again. Hooking up directly to the modem results in a normal, trouble-free connection. I have tried changing the channel, the SSID name and restarting everything sequentially without success. Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

i started getting this problem, or at least a similar one, lately. i have a WRT54GS v6 with the latest firmware (1.50.9) that randomly decides to stop allowing wireless connections. devices that are already connected will stay connected and be able to access the internet through it, but if you restart a computer or try to connect with other devices, it doesn't find the router.
i have changed the SSID and set it so it does not broadcast the SSID, but that shouldn't cause it to stop accepting connections. i usually only have my laptop and a couple wii's connected to the router (my own and 2 of my roommates).
the only way to fix it when this happens is to unplug the router and plug it back in.

PC Running LabView Program Looses connection with the FieldPoint FP1600 4.11

If works for a while and looses communication with the PC. I tried to ping the module but it is timing out. If I reset the Power on the modules it starts working again. Any remedy of this problem

I had a similar problem. I checked and tried lots of things. I finally solved it by: 1) moving the FP1600 to a different location and 2) putting a ferrite bead on the network cable. I think it is 2) that solved the problem. These devices are apparently very sensitive to EMI. You can read more about EMI protection in the knowledge base article:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/3efedde4322fef19862567740067f3cc/2758edc0fb26d27a86256a6b0073b5d4?OpenDocument
Another suggestion was to run the FP1600 with no modules attached to see if the problem was coming from the modules. They could then be added one-by-one to see which one, if any, was causing the problem. The solution might again be EMI protection.

My E71 looses connection with Motorola 820's when ...

When I walk my dogs I can't listen to music because my E71 and Motorola 820 won't stay connected. If I'm sitting still I can listen to all the music I want but when I go outside and walk the music cuts in and out, speeds up, slows down then finally looses connection all together. I tried searching the forums but did'nt find an answer to my problem, I also tried searching for a list of confirmed headsets but could'nt find any.
Thanks alot
