Many issues with WRT160N v3 (Windows 7 related?)

Ok so here's the story.
Several months ago I purchased a WRT160N v2. I was connecting four devices. 1 XP machine, 1 Vista machine, 1 PS3, and 1 Xbox 360.
The XP machine is using Wireless-N PCI Adapter model no. WMP300N. The Vista machine is using a Wireless-N USB Network Adapter with Dual-Band, model no. WUSB600N
The process was fairly straight forward and I was successful in getting everything set up correctly. It worked great for the most part barring any unexpected wireless crashes.
A few weeks ago I accidentally bricked the router when trying to upgrade the firmware. It was my mistake and I should have been thinking but it happened. I was able to get a replacement from Linksys and I received the WRT160N v3
Sadly this router hasn't provided me with the same easy of installation.
Right now the situation is a little different than before. I am running a Windows 7 machine right now. It's up to date and working great. I haven't noticed any issues with the OS other than some random driver issues here and there.
I first attempted to just plug the router into my modem to see if my Windows 7 machine would automatically see it and connect. To my surprise it actually did. It connected and I was able to get online.
But here's the problem, my speed when connected was horrible. It would range anywhere from 75-1Mbps. For comparison, when on Windows XP I would get a locked 130Mbps. In addition to that, the LAN connection will not work. At all. It see's the connect, it shows it's connected and online. Then when I attempt to get online it fails and knocks me back to local access only.
I then attempted to set up the connection using the included disc for v3. This was problematic due to compatibility issues I assume. It didn't fair any better.
The final thing I did was plug my computer directly to the router without connection to the internet and disconnected from the Wireless and attempted to upgrade the firmware. THIS PROCESS WAS SUCCESSFUL. It did not fail and brick the router. I did it correctly this time. To repeat, this did not brick the router.
Ok, so I guessed it was due to Windows 7? I called Linksys up and they said they were unable to support the unreleased beta OS. I'm fine with that.
Next I decided to see if I could get my Vista machine online. With this I decided to run through the setup process that comes with router. I followed the steps to the T. Doing exactly what they told me to do. When it finished it showed it did have connection to the Internet. When the Linksys Easy Link Advisor started up and attempted to get me on wireless, it failed. It shows it lost connection and was unable to regain connection. Attempting to statically assign myself an IP address fails as well.
Using the LANA port with this router on the Vista machine works perfectly.
Right now I'm falling back to a very very old router. It's a Linksys Network Everywhere NR041 wired router. This router works rock solid with my Vista, Windows 7, PS3, and 360 all plugged in and only has some minor overheating issues (common with this model).
My questions:
Does the WRT160N v3 have issues with Windows 7?
Why exactly am I have so many issues with it at all?
Are there issues with my wireless card and Windows 7?
Would the compatibility issues cause the LAN connections to fail between the router and my Windows 7 machine?
Is there a better router solution for me?
I would prefer to not have to revert back to Windows XP as I am enjoying Windows 7.
I would appreciate any help I can get as I'm fairly unhappy with these two products so far.
Thank you.

There is a compatibilty issue with the Wireless Adapter and Windows 7 as it seems there are no specific Windows 7 Drivers to install the adapter...So basically that could be the reason why Windows 7 keeps loosing the Wireless Connection...
Also remember to reset the router to factory defaults after any firmware upgrade, then setup the router again from scratch. If you have not done this since your last firmware upgrade, please do this now and see if it corrects your problem. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
To reset the 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...
Don't use the CD to re-configure the router, instead do a manual setup...
If your Internet Service Providor is Cable follow this link
If your Internet Service Providor is DSL follow this link
Also adjust the Wireless Settings on your Router -
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 WPA, For Encryption, select AES...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
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...

Any issues with PE7 and Windows 7?

Hi All,
I am considering purchasing a second computer. I have had great success with PE7 and Vista, But I can't get Vista on the new Alienware I want to buy. So, has anyone had any issues with PE7 and Windows 7? I have read many posts where there are issues with PE8 and Windows7.
Thanks, Stan

It's a toshiba laptop.
4 gig DDR3
core duo
320 hard drive - partitioned
I also use a dual screen - 22" lcd monitor
I don't use it a lot, since I have a desktop. I've noticed having a
dedicated video card makes a world of difference in editing. This might be
your problem; a dedicated high end video card is the way to go.
If I do simple compilations I don't have any problems. I usaully am making
a DVD of soccer games. If there is a lot of special effects I'll use my
desktop that has XP.

Website Owner having new issues with Clients and Windows 8

I own a website that has a home-programmed chat. We've been in business about 12 years without any issues with compatibility. The chat is programmed in C and runs in a standard browser.
Lately I've had a few users (3 or 4) that have upgraded their machines and can no longer run the chat.
Most users that use Windows 8, or 7, or Vista, or whatever, have no problems. They can use the latest versions of IE, Firefox, Chrome, whatever they choose.
However, these users with problems can use none of the above.
I've gone through standard programs that block a chat, like firewalls and other spyware preventions. Shutting these off doesn't resolve the problem. Conflicting programs doesn't seem to be an issue, either. They aren't touch screen so I don't believe it
is a problem with the video card.
So that brings me back to the OS. The common thread seems to be that they are HP computers, and they have a new install of Windows 8. I think that there might be a missing DLL or other C Library that HP's installation of Windows 8 might be lacking.
Any suggestions on if I'm on the right track, and more importantly, how do I fix this problem?

Hi，
Seems this is a web-based chatting program, I suggest you add the site to a compatibility view list, (launch IE, Tools\Compatibility View list) then check this issue again. Check the error message and infromation recorded in the event viewer to find out
the cause.
Make sure the computers have all the latest updates, especially for video and audio drivers.
Clear the cache\temporary internet files in IE, or test this issue in a no add-ons mode.
From your description, it also sounds like a "defect\bug" for the chatting-program on Windows 8 on HP computers, if so, it should be related with development. you may find more help in the developer forum

HP ENVY 6t has many issues with USB headphone, Bluetooth and more serious issue

HP ENVY 6t doesn't work with USB headphone, unfortunately. could u let me know how to fix it?
Bluetooth mouse has been working for a day, it suddenly stopped working. Having checked the PC bluetooth connection, which said "Working properly". Could you let me know how to re-connect, or re-work?
"Not complete shut-down" blue screen issue right after receiving the HP PC when I closed display to be in sleep mode.
I see the "Safe mode" "...." or "Normal mode" screen always.
The HP PC is not stable UNFORTUNATELY.
Even if just brand new HP PC, there seems to be many issues.

I would recommend using this document for your mouse: http://goo.gl/XDRRy
And using this document to troubleshoot your headphones issue: http://goo.gl/hV9fu
Most of the time with USB headphones, you have to download the driver from the manufacturer before they will work properly.

Issues with airport and windows XP

just installed XP on my mac (cant believe i just typed that!) and running airport extreme and expresses (no WEP) and can connect on the macbook running OSX (10.4.6) no problem. boot into XP (pro) and i get a connection, strong signal, all that jazz, but when i launch explorer, no connection. I have tried to ping google.com from the command line, again, nada.
But the signal strength is good on the XP side, and connecting fine when logged in on the OSX side.

Beatriz,
Not that we know of, but honesty forces me to say that we haven't tested it ourselfs yet, since we still use Windows/2000.
On the other hand, from my experience issues with CDM always were more dependent on the version of the browser
or Word you are using and less of Windows versions. It would not surprise me if using the Word templates with
Word from Office XP would know some issues. Those would than be caused by changed behaviour in the way Word
deals with macro's.
What the rest of the iDevelopment Accellerator Suite concerns, this can be easily found out by checking the
compatability of Designer and Developer against Windows XP.

So many issues with CS4 (bugs/rants)

I'm glad we can get trials. There are a few major issues I'm
having.
Viewing in Safari, when clicking back onto Dreamweaver, the
top bar will interact with Safari's tool bar. I have to click on
and off to get Dreamweaver to draw on top of Safari. When this
happens, there are also white flashes where windows are blank when
clicking once on a tab or design view, then on second click the
window draws. So anytime I click on the tool bars the page flashes
white (empty-void of my html) and reappears on next click. This
happens on first start, does not happen if I relaunch DW.
Table <td background> background input is gone from the
proprieties palette.
Table height does not display when selecting a table, only
width. So you have to go into the code and manually change or
delete the table height.
Some image/graphic outer edge colors do not match the defined
html color on the page in Dreamweaver but do in Live View and
Safari.
Selecting an image and linking it, automatically populates
without a border="0" resulting in an unwanted border color. It
should be "0" by default like version 8.
The color picker is not calibrated correctly. Using the
picker on a table cell with the bg color of #990000 gives me a
reading of #A31B12. And then getting a reading on the table cell
with #A31B12 the color picker reads #AC3022. So it progressively
gets lighter, while picking colors from the actual html, if doing
multiple cells. So not sure how the color pickers needs to be
calibrated to read the hex value because it's not currently doing
that.
I can't drag a file to the tab bar and be allowed to open it.
Not sure why that's not allowed?
Now some of these might be the new way DW codes, some might
be fixable with settings, but the color picker and random flashing
and viewing issues with Safari, linked images with no border seem
like actual bugs to me.

a table cell.
Yeah - it's there. But I was mistaken - it's in both the HTML
and the CSS
'tab' of the EXPANDED Property inspector - you have to click
on the little
almost invisible white triangle on the lower right-hand
corner of the
inspector to see the expanded section.
> Yes, it should. Like alt tags are defaulted to 'empty'
borders should be

> a default value
Nope. That would produce invalid HTML.
> I wanted to hand code everything, I wouldn't be using
dreamweaver.
If you are not willing to learn some HTML and CSS, as well as
best
practices, then you shouldn't be using DW.

Many Issues With my LG Revolution

I got this phone in October and it has been a pretty decent phone up until recently. Lately I've been having a multitude of issues with the phone.
Turns on and off by itself randomly throughout the day (killing the battery while doing so)
Screen indicates headphones are plugged into the jack even when they are not
Screen brightness changes slightly on its own
When talking to others, sometimes they sound robotic
The screen freezes sometimes when you want to unlock it and it has to be re booted
Often times it will not send pictures to people
I took the phone in to my local Verizon store. They "wiped" the phone clean and gave it back saying that would clear up the issues. The issues began again shortly after leaving the store. I got fed up and called customer service. They had another Revolution overnighted to me. This phone lasted about two days before doing some of the same crazy things. I went back in to my Verizon store today. They are now overnighting me a Droid Razr. Hopefully issues do not come up with this one as well. I enjoy my Verizon service, just not my Verizon phone.

Hey i just wanted to confirm this post for you. I too have an LG Revolution and i have had issues lately with the following
Sends and receives multiple text messages ( Mainly on the 4g Network and here and there on the 3g)
Doesn't receive messages from some contacts
Loses 4g and 3g network when i am at full service
Verizon was said to have fixed these issues as they were network related in my area but it is back again so i am less then pleased with them.
Just wanted to let you know you are not the only one

Screen display issue with InDesign CS4 (Windows)

I just upgraded from CS2 to CS4. I can open and use InDesign with no problems, until I try to switch to another application. Then, when I try to go back to InDesign, all I can see is the portion of the bar at the top of the screen that shows the link to Bridge, the view options and a bit of the outline of a palette or two. I have a two monitor setup. Most of the palettes are on the auxillary monitor and they show up just fine. The main display is where I'm having the issue. I can toggle in and out of Photoshop with no display issues. I haven't tried working with anything else from the CS4 package besides InD and Photoshop. This was not an issue with any CS2 product (Dreamweaver, Fireworks, InDesign, Photoshop, Flash). Nor has it been an issue with any of the other software I am running (so far).
When the display vanishes, I can see the "data" from the program I was trying to toggle out of. For example, if I try to toggle between this page and InD right now, I can see most of this page except for the part of the page obscured by the outline of the control palette (that one reminiscent of pagemaker) and the little bits at the top. I can't see the project I'm working on. I can't see the File/Edit/etc. bar at the top of the page. A Control/Shift/Save will lock up the program completely. Then, I see the "save as" menu box (in addition to the browser screen around it) but the program is locked up. I can close everything on the computer and reboot and open InDesign to resume work--that is until I need to do something like edit a photo to drop into a layout. Then the issue occurs all over again.
Windows machine; XP Pro, service pack 3 build 2600; NVidea GeForce 9600 GT graphics card.

Bob, thanks for the info about the 6.0.2 patch. I'll try grabbing that today. This morning, on the first boot, I can't even see the program when I open it--just the snip of the command palette and part of the very top bar. Very irritating.
Peter, I have tried maximizing, closing, reopening, etc. everything else I can think of. Same issue. I finally just bit the bullet and went back to CS2, rebuilding the current project so I can get the work done by deadline. I'll look for new video drivers this afternoon after I get back on track timewise on this newsletter. Weird that this display issue should just affect the one Adobe program though, and not the others if it is a video driver problem. I didn't do a lot of work in Dreamweaver--just enough to see if it displayed the same weird behaviour. Nope. Nor does Photoshop. Nor does Bridge. Nor does Acrobat. nor does any other software on the machine.

Why so many issues with apple products?

Since Apple makes their own hardware and software why are there so many issues? I recently bought a iMac and a iPhone 4 and have had lots of issues just like many of you on the forums. I understand why windows has comptability problems cause they have to make their operating system work for all different computer manufacturers and configurations. But apple does not so what's the deal?

You will probably find that 90% of errors/problems on Macs are caused by 'user error', like introducing incompatible hacks and add-ons.
Moreover, a forum like this is an 'emergency room'. The millions of users who do not have (or may not realise that they have!) problems don't post here.
If you have any problems we would all like to help you iron them out. Just post a question in the specific forum for your model of Mac or version of OS X.

Issues with CDM and Windows XP?

Is there an issue with Swing on Windows 7?

Hi,
I'm running the latest version of Java on Windows 7. "java -version" returns the following:
java version "1.6.0_21"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_21-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 17.0-b17, mixed mode, sharing)
However, when I try to run the JDialog example at "http://download-llnw.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/" (JDialog | How to Make Dialogs | The DialogDemo Example), it is not being painted correctly.
I have a dual monitor setup. The display adapter is an NVIDIA GeForce FX5200. Is this a Windows 7 issue, or is something going wrong with my display adapter?
Thanks very much.

In short, components are not being painted fully or at all. If I mouse over the dialog (which I'm guessing forces a repaint), sometimes a given component will appear. In any case, it's not subtle. You would definitely notice it if it were occurring.
Thanks for having a look though. I guess I will try re-installing the JRE or research possible issues with my video card.

Uiadump32 - issue with 64 bit windows 7 recovery?

My daughter has a HP DV6 Laptop model 2010sa.
The hard drive has failed but when we use the recovery disks we get an error about uiadump32 failing.
When I use the recovery DVDs for the laptop, it loads them and then restarts a couple of times. BUT, when it gets to the windows setup screen, listing "Preparing driver installation" etc, a failure occurs. uiadump32.exe has stopped working.
From other research it seems existing partitions can be an issue, but the drive was wiped using fdisk on a linux live boot before installation. It looks to me like the recovery manager needs to be updated in some way (WIndows 7 is 64 bit on this laptop).
Any one a solution?
Thanks

Hi,
Assuming this is just an issue with the recovery process, there's a straight forward work-around you may want to consider.
Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
You can create an installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the exact same version of Windows that originally came with your notebook ) from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here. These Images are clean and from a well-respected source, however there are only limited versions available.
Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.

Any additional software and drivers you may need can be found Here.
