WRT1200 Network error when paying music from external disk attached to the Router
Hi everyone, I have one problem with my new WRT1200AC wireless routerFrecuently network errors when playing music from external USB3 disk attached to WRT1200AC Any idea to solve this problem Thanks in advance Regards, Rod
Wireless Configurations
Ensure the default (linksys) SSID name is changed. Ensure that different SSID names are used between each WiFi 2.4/5Ghz radios for dual band routers. Can be anything and not something that's already in use by any neighbouring WiFi routers.
What wireless modes are you using?
Try Mixed mode, single mode G or N or mixed G and N on 2.4Ghz and single mode N or Mixed on 5Ghz?
Channel Width set for Auto 20/40Mhz or try 20Mhz only.
Try setting a manual Channel to a open or unused channel. 1, 6 or 11. 11 for single mode N if the channel is clear. 13 for EU regions. Try channel 48 or 149 on 5Ghz. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels

What security mode are you using? Preferred security is WPA-Personal. WPA2 Only.
Ensure any devices with WiFi adapter drivers are updated.
Any 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz cordless house phones or WiFi APs near by?
Any other WiFi routers in the area? Link> Use http://www.techspot.com/downloads/5936-inssider.html to find out. Use v3. How many?
WMM Support must be enabled for single wireless N mode to function.

Router Placement
Forum User - "Well I feel really dumb. After moving the router away from other electronic devices my speeds are back to normal. Just a heads up for anyone experiencing slow speeds, you might want to move it away from other electronics and see if that helps."
3-6' feet minimum safe distance between devices.
Placement on main level floor and central in the building and WELL ventilated is preferred. Not in basements or closets as building materials, or near by electronics devices could interfere or hinder good signal propagation.

I have an iPhone 3GS 8GB that works perfectly and finds my WiFi no problem wherever I am in my house. My mother, however, has just brought an iPhone 3G 8GB that cannot find our WiFi unless it is within a metre of the router
I phoned Apple and the woman on the phone said to reset the router and modem, done that but I still have the same problem. She also suggested about updating the iPhone 3G, but iTunes is telling me that its software is up to date .... "This version of the iPhone software (4.2.1) is the current version"
My iTunes is also up to date (version 10.6.3.25)
I have also tried resetting the network settings on the phone, turning the WiFi on and off on the phone and turning it on and off (someone said that might have worked)
Has anyone came across this problem before? And if so, how can I fix it?Orwalsh89 wrote:
The case has always been on and it hasn't been an issue before. I tried it just to be sure but the issue persists. There's also no authorised service providers in Dublin, Ireland according to the apple website. Phone wasn't bought with a contract so my service provider wouldn't help me out there either. Looks like a repair costs 250 bucks? If the antenna is still working when i'm next to the router does that just mean it's come loose or something? Should I look into replacing or repairing it myself?
The problem could be due to a loose antenna but it's impossible to say for sure.

Air Play in my Apple TV disconnects from iPhone or Mac book after some time of playing. I need to restart the router in order to connect again. Apple tv is connected to wifi succesfully? Any suggestion?
I tried something new yesterday after reading all these messages. My ATV3 was situated on top of my satellite box and I noticed that it was quite warm. The instruction manual suggests that the box not go over a certain temperature, so I moved the box to a location without the heat under it. It now works without any problem at all...at least, so far.

I am using an iPhone 4S with 16gb memory. I did not yet update to iOS 8. I'm using 7.1.2. I have never had any problems previously using 3G or wifi. We just moved and have a new Netgear router supplied by our new ISP. We have ADSL connection. The router seems to be working fine for all the devices in the house. At any time we may have 2 or 3 laptops connected, as well as Kindle Fires, iPod Touches, and my husband's iPhone (which is the same make, model, year as mine). My iPhone will connect, but usually within minutes after connecting my iPhone 4S (though sometimes 30 minutes or more later), it kicks everyone offline and the router needs to be restarted. The router shows appropriate green lights and I can see it on my list of available networks, but if I try to connect I get the "unable to connect to this network" message until we restart the router. No one else is able to reconnect until the restart, either.
I have tried resetting network settings on my iPhone. I have completely turned off my iPhone and the router. I have talked with someone at our ISP and they did a reset of the router with me. They think the router is bad. But it works completely fine for everyone else in the house, so I can't help but think we are having a connection issue between the router and my iPhone.
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!Is her iPhone in a case by any chance? If so, remove the case and try again. How does her iPhone work in free Wi-Fi locations?
Try resetting the iPhone...
Press and hold the Home and On/Off buttons simultaneously until you see the Apple logo, then release. This may take up to 10 seconds. This is the equivalent of a re-boot and you will not lose any data.
If none of the above work take it to an Apple store or AASP for evaluation. She will not be charged folr this and they will suggest a solution if there is a fault. -
Moving the iMovie app to an external drive
I currently download a lot of video each day into iMovie and I am constantly running into an issue where I am out of hard-drive disk space. It really limits how much video I can work on at one time. I called and spoke with a member of the Apple Support App Team and he advised that I move the iMovie app to an external hard drive to resolve the issue. I have since done that, but the video clips are still saving to my internal hard-drive instead of the external hard-drive where the app is. When I moved the iMovie app to the external hard-drive, I disconnected the external hard-drive and deleted the app from my internal hard-drive. After emptying the trash, I re-connected the external hard-drive and opened iMovie and began importing movie clips. A little while later, I ran Omni Disk Sweeper and all of the clips that I imported still show on my internal and meanwhile, the external's capacity is only showing the iMovie app itself and no clips. Any ideas on how I can route the clips to the external instead of my Mac's internal hard-drive?
Instead of moving the iMovie application, click here and follow the instructions.

Can't delete primary zone in DNS after moving the server
Woe is me!
Our MacMini was hosted at a Colo site and working fine. No firewall in front of the machine, so we turned on the server firewall and only allowed mail, web, ftp, and a couple of other services. This worked great using our external public DNS wired to our domain names and public fixed IP address. Later, we got VPN up a running (the trick was to create a second, local IP address for the ethernet port), but this also required us to turn on the server's DNS to create a split-brained DNS server.
Everything was working swimmingly... and then we had a hard drive crash. Since we were thinking about moving the server onsite anyway (our POS system was accessed through the VPN, but it could be slow and made our tasting room dependent on Internet access in order to run the POS), we ordered Comcast business class internet with a fixed IP address.
We updated the external public DNS to the new public fixed ip. Rather than plug the mini directly to the Comcast router (which is in pass-through mode), we elected to put a AirPort Extreme in front of it, mainly so we could get all of the POS computers on the same local network without using the mini as a DHCP/NAT router. We created a DHCP reservation on the Extreme so that the mini had a fixed local IP address. We port forwarded everything we wanted to expose to the Internet. Email started to work again. However, web services and VPN are nada.
This being Snow Leopard Server and having spent literally hours debugging DNS issues when we first got the server, I knew it wouldn't be straightforward. And it hasn't been. Even changing the IP address of the server has been a chore.
We ran "sudo changeip <old IP address> <new IP address>".
Then we ran "sudo changeip -checkhostname" and received:
"$ sudo changeip -checkhostname
Primary address = 10.0.8.2 <new static internal IP address>
Current HostName = <servername>.<domainname>.com
The DNS hostname is not available, please repair DNS and re-run this tool.
dirserv:success = "success""
Oh no, the black pit of death.
Even though I tried to modify the machine record in the local DNS to reflect the new internal static IP address, Nada.
So, looking back on my previous research from Mr Hoffman and others, I stopped the DNS service, and I deleted the primary zone and reverse lookups in order to rebuild them from scratch. Except that no matter what I do, I can't delete the primary zone - it comes back like Dracula (even though the reverse zone and all of the zone records are gone). I tried rebuilding everything using the undeletable zone, but after a few services (saved each one separately), they would suddenly disappear.
I am leery of messing with the DNS files on the server as I don't want to hose up Server Admin (my command line skills are rudimentary and slow). I have so much installed on the machine now that I am concerned about someone saying "reinstall".
Help!
Related to this is that it is not clear to me in web services which IP address you should use for the sites. The internal IP? The public IP? I thought Apache cared about the external IP address. And I think Apache is hosed at the moment due to my DNS troubles anyway.
Thanks in advance!Morris Zwick wrote:
And does anyone know which IP you enter for your sites in the web service? The public static IP or the internal private static IP?
For the external DNS server I am sure you have already deduced that it should be the static IP issued you by Comcast and this will be forwarded by your router to your server.
For your internal DNS server you could use either the internal LAN IP, or the external IP although the later might be affected by your firewall so this you will need to test.
For the Web Server service in Server admin, if your only running a single website you could avoid the issue by just using the wildcard entry which will respond to any IP address, so this would be an empty host name and an IP address of *
In fact you don't have to specify an IP address you could just use the hostname, so it will listen to traffic arriving at your server addressed to any IP address and as long as the URL that was requested includes the hostname you define for the site it will get responded to. So if as an example you have two websites you want to serve
www.example.com
site2.example.com
then as long as both have the IP address for the site as an * (asterisk) then both should work as separate sites for traffic addressed to either the LAN or WAN IP address of the server.
You will still need to use two IP addresses on the server to enable VPN, you could use a USB Ethernet adapter for the second one. Port forwarding for VPN is not as simple as other traffic as VPN requires traffic different to the standard IP and UDP packets. Routers that support 'VPN Passthrough' are specifically designed to accomodate this but I don't know if the AirPort Extreme does this. I have also found PPTP copes better with this sort of setup than L2TP although PPTP is generally regarded as less secure. -
I can't connect to the router in my home. The Ipad seeks the network but nothing happens. I went to school and connected to their WiFi network as usual with no problems. When I returned home I could not connect to my home router. The Ipad seeks the router number but nothing happens. I rebooted the Ipad a few times in the school. The numbers identifying the router, etc. on my Ipad no longer appear there.
TThe Ipad guide says to connect to the WiFi use setup but I can't find the setup program in the Ipad.
I reset the network settings to the factory defaults but this doesn't fix the problem.
What can I do to reconnect to my home router?Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps.

Gratuitous ARPs do not populate the router ARP Table
Hello,
In order to debug an ARP problem in a Firewall cluster environment, I connected a one-armed router on the public VLAN of the firewall cluster, in order to observe the ARP cache behaviour during a switchover. I configured a loopback interface on this router and a default route to this loopback interface to simulate a real router.
When a switchover occurs between firewall cluster members, the active member sends Gratuitous ARPs for all NATed IP addresses. In my environment, I have 110 NATed addresses configured on the firewall.
By launching a "debug arp" on the one armed router, I clearly see all 110 gratuitous ARPs arriving on the router, but the ARP cache of the router is NOT populated with the 110 entries...
Note : The command is configured on the one armed router :
Router(config)# ip arp gratuitous local
What can be the problem ? Is there any condition for a router to accept Gratuitous ARPs ?
Thank you for any help
YvesHi
Gratuitous arp is used when a host wants to inform the switch that the mac-address has changed eg.
You have a cluster which has redundant connections and an IP to mac-address mapping. If the active NIC fails the IP address is moved across to the standby NIC but the standby NIC has a different mac-address. So the cluster sends out a gratuitous arp which informs the switch of the new IP to mac-address mapping.
The reason you might not want to allow gratuitous arp is that you might not want your switch updating it's arp table based on annoucements from devices on the LAN as you could very easily spoof mac-addresses and corrupt the arp cache.

IPad 2 wifi only works close to the router?
I have the iPad 2 with ios 7. It worked perfectly fine for a long time, but two or three weeks ago, the wifi signal dropped dramatically unless I stood in the same room as the router. The router is in a central location in my house. When I walk away, I drop down to one bar, and sometimes it loses connection entirely. I have tried to use this iPad in public places like Starbucks and the apple store and it works fine there. I have dropped my iPad a few times, so could this be an antenna issue? I had a genius bar appointment, and the apple employee brought up this idea and reset my iPad completely, hoping it would help, but the reset did not help. I have tried researching many ways to resolve this wifi issue, butintone have worked. Any help?
You may have damaged an internal connection.
Some iPad users have been able to revive their dropped iPad. Turn the iPad over and give it a HARD SLAP on the back. May take several slaps.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

Help, Connected To The Router, But Still Not Connecting To Internet
We bought a router and a wireless adapter a few years ago, I moved out and then moved back. I tried to connect to the network we setup in the first place, but it didn't work and I was told that I had to reset the router, so I did, and I setup a new network, and the computer with the router is working fine, but the computer with the adapter, even after I ran the setup disk on it again, all it does is connect to the router, but I'm still not getting the internet. If anyone has any ideas on how I can remedy this problem I would really appreciate it if you would share it with me. Thank you.
Adapter Model # - WUSB54GC
Router Model # - WRT54G2Try and download the driver for the adapter again. It can be found here.
Also for the router, that can be found here. -

Hi,
I bought a router about a year ago when i bought my laptop. I connected the router to my dads desktop so that i can use my laptop wirelessly. ive moved out of my dads house and would like to take the router with me so i can connect at my apt. But when i unplug the router and try to connect to the internet on the desktop through the modem, it does not work. why?Who is your Internet service provider?
If it is cable connection then follow this link and, if it is DSL the follow this link to configure your router. -
We have 2 iPad 2's. For one of them it must be very close to the router to pick up a wifi signal. We have restarted and reset it without success. Using 7.1.1.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
