Losing conection between wrt110 and DSL modem

I've had the wrt110 for about a week and everything has worked flawlessly, until now. I use the wrt110 to connect one laptop and one wii, wirelessly to the internet via a dsl modem. the problem I have is that every time I close the laptop, I lose my internet connection. I'm still connected to the wrt110, but cannot connect to the internet.  also the internet light is still lit on the modem, so I assume that the modem is still recognizing an internet connection. the only way that I can get reconnected to the internet is to 1. disconnect the wrt110 from the modem 2. reset the modem 3. reset the wrt110 4. reconnect the wrt110 to the modem. then I can connect to the internet just fine until I close the laptop, then the problem starts over. please help

I think it might be the problem with the routers firmware, have you tried to upgrade the firmware of your router, If not then Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop...
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the 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".
Now reset your router :
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...
Once you configure all the settings on your router, below are some wireless settings for your router and i think this might work perfectly fine. 
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bit.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...
Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...
Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
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"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

  • Possible wifi conflict between airport and dsl modem wifi

    I want add my TC to my wifi system. The existing wifi is based on a frontier modem connected to a DSL line. Will the existing wifi or the airport be the functioning wifi?

    Either or both.. it is up to you.
    Set one to channel 1 and set the other to channel 11. Then both can work happily together.. although I would space them a couple of meters.

  • WAN Port disconnecting Ethernet between Gigaset 4300 DSL modem

    I have a WRT400N setup as a wireless/wired router on a Windstream DSL modem.  The Ethernet light on the Modem keeps going out and it log's a disconnect.  At the same time, the internet connection light on the WRT400N goes out.  I disconnect the router from the network and connected the Windstream Gigaset 4300 Modem/Gateway directly to my PC.  No more problems.  Any idea on what setting would be making the WAN port ethernet connection act like a RTS/CTS lead in the old RS232 interface?
    Steve

    The issue is between the DSL modem's ethernet port and the WRT400N's WAN port.  The light's on both the router's Internet connection and the modem's Ethernet port goes out, like the cable is being unpluged.  I have replaced the cable, so it's not that.  Naturally, all devices, both wired and wireless cease internet connectivity when this connection is open.  I have connected the DSL modem/gateway directly (via the same ethernet port) to two different computers and never lose this connection, which makes me think that the WRT400N is opening (disconnecting) the internet port at different intervals for some reason.  It happens both wireless connections and wired connections are using the internet.  As I type this, my PS3 (wireless G) is downloading a 1.4 gig demo and about every 30 sec. the ethernet light on the modem goes out, at the same time the internet light on the router goes out also.  It varies in time, some time as little as 10 sec. between disconnects, sometime it will stay connected for over 2 min.  It's a closed network with 3 wired connections (2 computers and Dish VIP922 DVR), several wireless connections (1 Computer via N adapter, Wii wireless G, PS3 Wireless G, Ipod touch Wireless G, 2 cell phones wireless G).  No QoS or port forwarding is in use.

  • A query about Time Capsule, Ethernet, and DSL modems...

    When I originally set up my modem, I used the network assistant and it seemed to "auto-connect", where the assistant tells you that your ISP "may allow you" etc. This was done with the ethernet cable as Modem to Macbook Pro. Then when I purchased a TC, I simply connected the ethernet cable to the TC and let Airport Utility set up a wireless network.
    All was fine, until I was trying to ensure my security was half-decent. I changed a few settings in the TC, and then spent an afternoon trying to get my MBP to "see" the wireless network. I got that managed as well.
    What's confusing me is this, and I hope someone can help me and explain it like I'm a 5-year-old.
    1. In speaking with the ISP tech support, they seemed pretty sure I had to enter specific DCHP, DNS, etc. values in their fields, yet with the network assistant, it seemed to do this not only on its own, but with different values (numbers) then the one tech support told me to use, including an assigned "public" 192 IP address.
    2. Moreover, the ISP told me I should use PPPoE, yet the network assistant seemed just fine with Ethernet and DCHP.
    3. My ethernet IP address (System preferences/Network) is different from my Airport IP address. Is this normal?
    4. Strangely, when I connect another ethernet cable from the TC ethernet out port to the MBP (I was attempting a quicker Time Machine incremental back up), and turned Airport off (as an experiment), I still have internet connectivity. I thought TC ethernet out to MBP would only be for disk data transfer. Is this normal? If I have Airport "ON", would that cable then only be used for data transfer?
    5. I have the TC in Bridge Mode, with Access Control to "Not Enabled". I originally had my MBP and iPod Touch MAC addresses added to Access Control, until I read that this doesn't really help with security. As it stands now, I increased my WPA2 password from an easy to remember one to a random 25 character one. Basically, I am hoping someone can tell me the settings I should use (with detail) to make both the network settings AND the wireless network as safe as possible without having a computer science degree.
    Additional information: I only use my MBP and iPod Touch, and the wireless network is only for my use. No guests whatsoever. I do have a usb printer connected to the TC. The modem has a wireless "WLAN" feature which I have turned off since I have the TC. For my email accounts, I have the correct ports entered, as far as I can tell and as far as I've been told by those providers. I occasionally use Acquisition (not sure how safe it is security wise), and I'm often online playing Call of Duty 4 (wirelessly). I think that all I can think of that's important.
    I really appreciate everyone's comments and guidance.

    Whichever connection is toward the top of the list in System Preferences-> Network preference pane is the one which will be used.

    WPA2 with a long non-dictionary password is the best wireless security.
    2. Moreover, the ISP told me I should use PPPoE, yet the network assistant seemed just fine with Ethernet and DCHP.
    If your ISP uses PPPoE for Internet connections, the device connecting directly to the DSL modem should be configured to use PPPoE.

    Yes

  • Setting up the extreme and DSL modem

    Hi guys,
    just bought and upgraded to the new extreme base station and hooked up to the DSL modem, but couldn't get them to work.
    Before, I had the 1st generation airport base station (snow) hooked up to the router and the router to the DSL modem. And now i just want to connect the new extreme base station to the SDL modem (SBC Yahoo)and no router involved. What changes do I have to make? PPoe or DHCP it seems that the extreme base cannnot establish coonection with the modem.
    I've tried setting ppoe under system preference, put in my account name and password but it doesn't receive any IP address. Next to the airport signal on top of the screen, it shows a message" negotiate ppoe"
    Anyway, I would appreciate if anyone canould point me the right direction before I call apple.
    thanks!

    What changes do I have to make? PPoe or DHCP...
    What settings does your ISP use? What settings did you use on the router you were previously using? Those are the settings you need for the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS).
    I've tried setting ppoe under system preference...
    If your ISP requires PPPoE you should enable it on the AEBS but disable it on all of your computers.

  • Airport Extreme Base Station and DSL modem, IP address Conflict issues

    I recently set up DSL service in my apartment. I have ATT yahoo DSL modem, and an Airport extreme base station plugged into it. The network works fine with my Vista PC connected to it, but when I try to connect my macbook to the network I get errors telling me the IP address the macbook wants to use is already in use, and my PC gives me an IP address conflict error.
    The internet is fine, and the modem is configured automatically, so I think it must be a problem with the way the network is set up or the network settings on my macbook...
    any ideas?

    All,
    I recently posted what I believe to be a similar/identical issue. See my post here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1378849
    I have not changed my AEBS to "Off (Bridge Mode)" yet, because everything currently 'works' but I continue to get the occasional "Double NAT" warning suggesting I switch the AEBS to bridge mode. When this happens, I lose connection to the internet and need to unplugged both the AEBS and my modem to re-establish a connection to the internet and the external HD I have connected to the AEBS.
    My question for Jmiller1138, do you continue to get the "Double NAT" warning even when you changed your AEBS to "Off (Bridge Mode)"? I am hesitant to change my AEBS to bridge mode since I'm assuming I'll need to totally reconfigure my entire network (meaning both the AirPort Extremes, my wireless HP printer, and my firewalls on my PCs).
    The ignoring of the warning (i.e. closing the AirPort Utility without updating the AEBS) is what triggers the need to reset my AEBS and modem. Not fun.
    I guess I'll just need to bite the bullet and set the AEBS to bridge mode . . . yes?

  • Loading variations between T1 and DSL

    When I test my website using the simulate download I get
    different results for T1 and DSL. T1 loads the site perfectly,
    however DSL skips certain components.
    This is the site in question: www.meyerhoffer.com

    their cache when using Safari, however upon refreshing the page the
    site works fine.
    My layers are structured with functions and actions on top.
    The movie is set to load bottom up. I've tried numerous adjustments

    whatsoever. If anyone cares to take a moment to look at the flash
    source I will gladly provide it. Thank you.

    Thanks Grant.
    I read the article and it was of some help. Reference TCP/IP control panel settings. I called Commspeed support and they gave me their three current DNS numbers. I typed them per article and nothing - dead. Called them back and they gave me the typical winbox answers "No hable apple" so left to my own devices and considering the stratigies suggested in the article I did two things.
    I opened the TCP/IP control panel and deleted the Name Server Address - As they are supposed to be assigned by the server. There was also a check box that said use 802.3 which was checked. I unchecked it and tried the internet. Blam it was right there. I don't know which stratigy worked as I did them simultaneously.
    Still don't know about upgrading to 9.2.
    Thanks again,

  • WIreless Router WRT54GS and DSL Modem

    I'm going fo a week of trying without any success in configuring my wireless net at home. The modem is ok, configured by my ISP and gives me Internet easily when I attach the cable diretcly to my notebook. However, when I put the Linksys router in between it never works, neither wired, nor wireless.
    I've tried a lot of things, including change the modem from router to bridge (when I turned it to bridge it never worked, forcing me to go back to the routing mode). So, the modem is already doing the authentication, it's configured as PPPoe. What I need is to make the Router only do the job of transmit is wirelessly, and that is what I'm not achieving.
    note: My OS is Windows XP and the router lights it all normally when connected. I even see the wireless network broadcasted with the name I chose and excellent signal, but even if I succeed in conecting to it, I can't navigate at all.
    note 2: I've tried the Linksys CD and the Easy Link Advisor, and both failed before completing the installation. The Easy link couldn't see the modem. The cd always stopped while trying to configure or to acess the Internet.
    I beg for someone to solve this cause for the first time in my life I'm considering pay for some tech to resolve this.

    well, can u pls tell who is ur isp??
    try to config the router manually instead of using cd---reset router---open setup page---check Internet IP Address in Status page
    if ip: 192.168.x.x, then, in the WRT54GS, local page change the local ip to: 192.168.2.1---power cycle entire n/w---this should work
    pls check this 1st, and let us know---we can proceed further from there

  • Switching back&forth between Dialup and Cable Modem (Leopard)

    Hey folks...I have a client who is using an iMac with Leopard (20inch titanium model from this year, 2gig coreDuo). She has cable modem, but cable service is very new to her area and thus never very reliable. For this reason, she's always had her Network preferences set up properly for both wireless and dialup. When her cable service drops out, she simply switches to dialup for a little while. The airport icon, top right of screen, can be clicked on to immediate access and choose between either of those configs. This always worked fine with Tiger, I set it up with her myself and it went swimmingly. Now that we've upgraded her to Leopard, her configs are still set up correctly, everything interfaces the same way, etc...however when she switches to the dialup method, it never connects. Nothing about the cable or dialup service has changed, and we only OSd in-place, so as i said configs and all relative information is exaclty the same. What do you think we need to correct or change? Thank you for any input!

    good stuff!

  • No contact between airporter and new modem

    Lost internet connection to modem and airporter. After powering down both modem and airporter I still wasn't able to re-establish connection. I was always able to do do in times previous. Comcast tells me I need a new modem so I replaced the modem with one of theirs. *Now that I have the modem connection I am not able to reconnect with the airporter, I have to leave it out of the loop to maintain connection to my main computer by direct connection. I have restarted the modem, the airporter, and the computer. Following steps with comcast using my iphone to re-establish connection I am now reconnected but without the airporter. Are there some codes that I need to enter into the specs for the airporter to get it to work? I have also restarted the airport to factory default settings and started over. Yesterday I was able to have connection with the internet from my computer through the airport to the modem, but no wireless devices could communicate with the airport. It was like it wasn't even there. And it was today when I first turned on my computer that it wouldn't connect to the internet at all (see * above). I need some pretty simple language to help me work through this.Help!

    Best best is to use a usb card reader to transfer images.

  • Wireless Bridge/Relay between WRT110 and WAP4410N

    I recently purchased and installed a WRT110 router to gain wireless internet access for my laptop at home.  The setup was fairly simple and seems to work fine except for the range of the signal.  Once I am greater than about 30 ft from the router, my signal strength drops to "low".  The router is located in the office at one corner of the house and if try to access at the other corner diagonally (about 100 ft) I have not signal.  I purchased a WAP4410N access point with hopes of relaying the wireless signal to all areas, by placing it near the center of the house, by I can't seem to get it to work.  I am a newbie to this wireless setup and not sure which connection type to use, the Access Point or the Wireless Client/Repeater.  The Client/Repeater is what I have tried and the 4410 found the 110 when I performed the site survey, when connected directly to it, but when I disconnect the patch cord and try the connection wirelessly, I get nothing.
    Has anyone setup this combination and if so, were you able to get it to work?

    What firmware are you using ????    If you are using the linksys firmware then maybe you should try another firmware that is 3rd party firmware like the DD-WRT .  They have that feature for client Repeater or a Repeater Bridge that can be used as a wireless Repeater wirelessly or you can use it wired to the computer.

  • Keep losing Connection between iTunes and Express

    I have Express, used exclusively to play music through powered speakers. However, my eMac and MacBook Pro iTunes keep losing connection to the Express. I have repeatedly reset the Express, get the connection back temporarily, then lose it again. I use a Netgear NEXT Wireless-N router and I do not see a setting that might solve this problem.
    Anyone have an answer? Should I set the router to have Express use a particular Port?

    Okay guys, I've got it with the help of Michael at Apple tech support (great customer service experience today--thanks Apple): It took some time to diagnosis the problem, but the solution we found was that it was actually two problems relating to interference:
    1. Change the channel: The network (changed it in Time Capsule as the AE is connected to that network) channel was set to 6, which is a common one that many routers default to. We set it to 9 and that improved it a lot, but not all the way, and he suggested trying some other channels to find the channel with the least interference in the area.
    2. Cordless 2.4 GHz cordless phone: We unplugged it and it's seemed to solve the interference problem almost perfectly (it's just cutting out for a second here and there every few minutes--compared to before for several minutes and only playing for a few seconds). He suggested getting a 6.0 GHz phone to bypass the interference, which is likely what I'll do. I'll also try relocating the phones base station and see if that makes any difference. Either way, after several hours of trying to figure it out it's nice to be listening to my music!
    If I find out anything else I'll post it here.

  • 3 licences purchased... no conectivity between licences and current catalouge... HELP!

    Our office recently purchased 3 licenses of Lightroom 2 so that we can use it as a company asset management software for our photo library.  We have 3 staff that will need to have access to the same catalogue to make imports and changes to our assets.
    When we called Adobe to inquire about if the changes made by the 3 staff would be reflected in that catalogue we were told that it would be captured.  We have the photos on a network accessible to all, have downloaded the software on two desktops, and my desktop has it accessible to me, but my colleague doesn't have access to the catalogue on her terminal.
    I spoke to Adobe technical support, and they are indicating that the interconnection will not be possible unless the catalogue is copied into her terminal, and that not changes I make will be reflected in her catalogue and visa versa.  This was the whole reason we purchased this software... I have been on hold with Adobe for 40 minutes... anyone have any suggestions or information to help me?  I'd really appreciate the assistance!
    Kristin

    Unfortunately you're stuck. Lightroom is really only a single user product and catalogs cannot be on network disks without major hackery. So if you want to use it in your setting, you'll have to hack your way around it. You would have been better off using Bridge ( which would work great in this limited scenario) or a product geared towards digital asset management (Cumulus and the like). It's bad that Adobe initially told you it would work as this is well known to not be a feature.
    That said, there are ways you can make this work part ways without copying the catalog all the time and without moving to another product. You can enable the writing of metadata to files. Either you do this automatically or manually (Save metadata to file in the metadata menu). What will happen is that Lightroom will write xmp files next to (or into if they are dng, tiff, psd or jpeg) the selected originals or every time you make a change (if you have automatic writing enabled). You can make the other copy of Lightroom then read in those files (Read metadata from file) and all changes to development and other metadata will carry over. If you have automatic writing enabled, I think Lightroom will throw up a warning or put a little badge on the file to warn you that the metadata on disk is different from the catalog, so that you can read it from the files.
    There are caveats here which are all related to the standard parallel working problems. If you both work on the same file at the same time, one of the sets of changes will be lost in the end.

  • IMac compatibility with a Zyxel DSL modem

    I installed a new Zyxel DSL modem connected to a Time Capsule with an ethernet cable with the TC creating my wireless network.  My iMac connects perfectly with the TC's wireless network, but the moment I switch on the Zyxel model to provide internet access, my iMac gets a beach ball that never stops spinning.  Are there compatibility issues between the Zyxel DSL modems and an iMac, or do I have settings on my iMac or Zyxel modem that causes some sort of conflict that causes my iMac to hang?  I've never had a problem before with my iMac hanging, it's been as solid as the rock of Gibraltar!

    I've used the brand in the past
    routers don't rely on drivers so routers follow the std of ethernet
    I would expect it to be 100% transparent for a computer what router was
