My mac is causing loss of wireless connectivity on pc's

Okay so i have a new macbook and the airport card appears to be working fine. my friend has a new sony vaio. I can connect to their wireless network just fine, but for some reason, when i connect, even if it turn air port off, the vaio will not connect to the wireless network. It recognizes the network and shows full signal strength, but reports that there is limited connectivity and will not browse the internet. I have tried a lot of things such as restarting the viao, disconnecting and reconnecting to the network, but the only thing that seems to work is to unplug the wireless router and then plug everything back in. Does anyone know of a reason air port would cause this type of interference? Thank you so much!

I cannot confirm that other Wireless routers in my area share this same issue. I haven't tried to update firmware yet, as from the few I had talked to you generally don't want to touch something like that until a last resort.
I use a program called "Netstumbler" to detect other networks around me. As best as I can tell, when my router disappears off the grid, a lot of other routers do as well. I've used Channel 1 on G frequencies because the average number is as follows:
Channels:
1 - 1 person (me)
6 - 4 people (unknown)
11 - 1 person (close neighbour).
As to which neighbours are using wirless routers, Im unsure. About 30 meters away from my router, as mine unfortunately is placed agaisnt the house wall, is a complex that houses about 20-25 families. My computer also shares the same wall, but a floor above (like stated) for connectivity.
As for firmware, I believe I'll have a look into which Im running and hopefully update. I think it might not hurt even looking into an update for my PCI card as well.
Anymore help regarding this issue is appreciated. Thank you

Update to 10.5.2 caused loss of wireless connectivity

After updating from 10.5.1 to 10.5.2 I couldn't connect to Network (wireless). Router function checked out ok with ISP. (I could get online wirelessly with my PDA.) I could get connectivity with my MBP via ethernet cable. I also couldn't connect wirelessly to my printer (which I could do before). Spent a lot of time with AppleCare tech. but didn't solve anything. Wound up reloading OS and restoring w/Time Machine. I'm back to v.10.5, and all works well. I'm reluctant to upgrade to anything further at the moment (maybe to 10.5.1...?). I'm concerned that I'll wind up with the same problem if I go up to 10.5.2. Any thoughts where I should go from here?

I'm "replying" to my own message because I need to modify it! With v.10.5 that I wound up with, I lost functionality of iTunes, plus a couple of other apps. Feeling masochistic, I then updated (again!) to 10.5.2. The various functions are back working fine, but AirPort cannot connect. I therefore connected my MBP to the router with an ethernet cable. Everything works OK, but it would sure be nice to function wirelessly like I did before the update! Any suggestions would be appreciated. BTW, on my system, I have Parallels and WinXP, but I haven't used it in several weeks; might there be some sort of conflict there, even if I'm not using Parallels?

TC & MBP - complete loss of wireless connection and usage

I apologise in advance if this is a very long winded post! I've been an Apple fan for some 20 years now and it's only in the last three months that my love affair is starting to wane due to (what seems to me) poor hardware releases.
My setup:
1 x PowerBook G4 1.25Ghz with Edimax 802.11n PC Card
1 x MBP 2.4Ghz (purchased April 2008) with AirPort 802.11n
1 x Time Capsule 500Gb
1 x Airport Extreme Base Station Gigabit Ethernet edition
1 x Netgear DG384 v2 (wired only) modem router
1 x standard ADSL connection (8Mbps) from a UK ISP (and yes, 8Mb is about the norm for the UK! Though in reality, it means closer to 4Mb...)
The Netgear router is connected to the ADSL line and is set up as the DHCP server for the network. I have a Fixed IP address from my ISP. The Time Capsule is connected via ethernet to the Netgear router. The TC is set up in Bridge mode as the router serves DHCP. The TC is wall mounted via the excellent AirMount from H-Squared.
The TC has been through a myriad of configurations in an attempt to create a stable wireless environment since its purchase in April. Prior to my recent holiday (two weeks in Greece - hurrah!), the current configuration was solid for both Macs.
The config is: Bridge mode; 2.4Ghz N Only wireless; WPA2 secured; no MAC address access control restrictions (so pretty straightforward). The TC is running firmware 7.3.1. It is setup as "Create a Wireless Network"
Both Macs are running OS X 10.5.3 with all of the latest updates including AirPort Utility 5.3.2.
It took me about six weeks to hit upon this config for the TC having had many wireless drop outs, stalled connections, lost internet connections (ie. I could access the TC HDD but could not access the internet using the same wireless connection). So much frustration in the early days - I tried many of the solutions on this forum but to no avail until I hit upon the 2.4Ghz N Only route which seemed to be the answer to all my problems.
Prior to leaving on holiday, I unplugged all of the equipment in the room including the TC and the router. When I returned, I restarted everything in a logical sequence - router first (and waited for a connection), then the TC and then the Macs.
From this point on the problems have started. The PB G4 with the wireless card has a more or less stable connection. The wireless card connects immediately to the TC but then it takes approximately 30-60 seconds for an internet connection to work (so I see a lot of the Not connected to the internet messages in Safari). It seems to immediately get an IP address from the router via the TC but then the internet connection itself takes a while to come up.
The MPB on the other hand is a nightmare. Since returning from holiday I have not been able to get a workable wireless connection at all. In no particular order, the problems that the MBP exhibits are as follows (these can occur at the same time or individually):
i) only returns a self-assigned IP address; renewing the DHCP lease does not fix the problem
ii) does not see the network at all (although it will see others in the vicinity)
iii) cannot connect to the network - returns the Connection Timeout error or very occasionally the Password Incorrect error; I have tried connecting the network via the AirPort menu bar item, via Join another network... from the menu bar, via the Network selection menu in System Preferences > Network and even via Internet Connect - all with no success
iv) sometimes I am able to connect to the network but no IP address is received. Having checked the TC logs, it shows the same error occurring over and over again:
Jun 26 22:06:04 Severity:5 Associated with station 00:1e:c2:ba:78:6c
Jun 26 22:06:07 Severity:5 Deauthenticating with station 00:1e:c2:ba:78:6c (reserved 2).
Jun 26 22:06:07 Severity:5 Disassociated with station 00:1e:c2:ba:78:6c
The MBP connects but is immediately thrown off the network.
So to all intents and purposes, the wireless aspect of the MBP and the TC are completely useless.
When I use a wired (ethernet) connection to the TC everything is joyful. Instant IP address assignment, excellent connection speeds, no drop outs and so on. So as far as I can ascertain, the TC is working fine with the exception of the wireless/wireless security.
The AEBSn that is connected to the same network no longer appears in Airport Utility.
Having read through many posts here, I have tried many solutions including:
- downgrading the FW to 7.3; no difference at all
- turning off wireless security; no difference at all
- changing channels; I've tried 1, 6, 9, 11 and 13 with no difference at all
- changing the wireless mode; B/G, G only, N only all make no difference (I can't use 5Ghz N only as the PB G4 does not support this and I need both Macs wirelessly connected)
- rebooting the TC (both via Airport Utility and 'power off'); makes no difference
- reinstalled OS X 10.5.1 (via the install disks that came with the MBP) using the Archive & Install feature; then used the Combo updater to upgrade directly to 10.5.3; once again, no difference.
I have not yet done a hard reset as this has made no difference in the past but obviously I will try it.
In other words, HELP!
I am stymied. I have tried so many solutions offered on here and on the likes of MacFixIt and other Mac forums none of which have brought back my wireless connection for the MBP.
The MBP works very well with other wireless connection. For example, at work, we have a Linksys WRT54G wireless router connected to a BT leased line. I have not had a single connection issue for three months with this setup. Similarly, whilst on holiday, I used many different hot spots and had no issues with the wireless connection. All of this evidence leads me to suspect that the MBP is not the issue.
From what I can tell, the problem seems to be in the wireless security on the TC. It seems to prevent access by MBP (though not the PB G4 using a wireless card) but disabling security did not change the error messages shown in the log or the lack of connectivity.
It is a real shame that I cannot get a satisfactory working environment with the TC as the concept is great. The reality is, however, that it is unusable in its current condition and loathe as I am to try and return it or replace it, I am rapidly coming the conclusion I will have to.
Before I do, however, I am hoping that the genii who exist on these forums may be able to proffer some ideas or solutions that I haven't yet tried.
My sincere thanks will go to anyone who provides a solution for me. There may even be beer involved as a mark of gratitude!!
Thanks for reading and fingers crossed someone knows something special...

Smokerz: thanks for the reply and the advice. Not really in a position to set up a dual network at the moment due to the positioning of the TC and the AEBS but if I get an opportunity to try it I will.
I have temporarily given up with the TC as the router for the wireless network. I've installed a Vigor 2820n modem router (it's the only one I could find that has a Gigabit port - only one though) as well being a modem (ADSL) router. Thus far, everything seems fine - although I have had a couple of drop outs due (I think) the AirPort connection on the MBP. And interestingly, I've set up the TC as a "test" wireless network using the Vigor's internet connection and it's way more stable than with the Netgear router. So perhaps it's a combination of many factors - the poor Netgear router, the TC and the MBP AirPort connection - that was causing the issues.
I'll give 10.5.4 a go as well and see if that helps at all.
Thanks to all who read the question - if anyone else has thoughts I'd be delighted to hear them.

Apple Mobile Device Support uninstall and itunes install causes loss of internet connection

Whenever I uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support (AMDS) I lose my internet connection. The only way to fix this is to restore Windows to a previous state. I've tried troubleshooting my internet connection when this happens but Windows tells me something is wrong with both my wired and wireless connection drivers... and of course I need the internet to fix said drivers :s
I've tried repairing AMDS and this doesn't help either.
I've been trying to download itunes but it tells me a program needed to install it cannot be run. After this I can't get back on the internet without first restoring windows to a previous state. I thought that uninstalling everything apple from my system would do the trick but I can't seem to uninstall AMDS without messing up my internet drivers. What else can I try?

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Detect loss of wireless connection

GOAL : physicians in a hospital getting access to web-based JSP content through a Pocket PC browser(IE) and wireless connectivity. We already have the "normal-size" JSP pages for desktop computers and we'd like just to provide a reduced version of theses pages to browse on a PDA.
PROBLEM : Even with a well designed WLAN with good access point placement, you may experience connection loss. And it's a problem when browsing JSP pages : imagine submitting a form when you're suddenly offline : you'll get a 404 or something similar -> not serious.
QUESTION : If I port our application in the Personal Profile Xlet framework, Would it be possible to detect connection loss in an Xlet or somewhat... then it could set the rest of the app to work in a kind of degraded mode. How can we manage that ?

You could have a thread which is dedicated to managing the apparent connectivity. It connects to a well known location, if it cannot connect then you are assumed to be disconnected and the application should downgrade. The routines that handle networking should be able to fail gracefully and not generate exceptions which would terminate the program. As an example you can update your stocks whenever theres a connection but if there isn't one you can always show the value and the last time it was successfully retrieved.

Loss of wireless connection

I've completely lost my wireless connection to my home hub although I can connect through an ethernet cable. I can connect to a wi fi hotspot. This has happened before and phoning the helpline has got it working again. This time I was told I need a new router and would get one if I renewed my contract. As a 10 yr customer I wasn't happy! If I refresh the network list, my home hub is there but the connect failure message mentions TCP/IP is not configured although settings of my adapter say it is. I've tried another router but exactly the same thing happens. This is also the scenario on the stepsons macbook. Any thoughts?

Loss of Wireless Connectivity

Hello Everyone,
I am having a major problem with my wireless network. At random intervals, I notice my wireless network speed (54mbps) slowly decrease from 54 -> 48 -> down to -> 4 -> 2 -> 1 -> dies. My wireless router then goes off for anywhere between 10s to 10 minutes, or sometimes it can even be down for 45 minutes.
I've encountered this ever since I moved my PC from across my room, though I believe it happened rarely before hand as well. Ive since tried using programs to determine the best connection (which Ive finally achieved). Also due to the building, I cannot run a wired line to my computer. My computer sits about 25-30 feet away from the router, almost a 45 degree angle above it (2nd floor, router access point is on the 1st).
Another note: Its not just my personal computer that loses wireless, the entire network dies at the same time. Though, the WIRED network that is connected to the router receives no interuption. I have exchange students that board at my house from time to time, along with the other main computer that resides in the room with the router, and neither receive connection hiccups or loss of network bandwidth. Also during this time my Wireless PCI card in my tower can still detect other networks (though very weak due to range)
As a thought, my router was about 2 years old, so I recently upgraded it from WRT54G to a WRT300N. The issue is just as frequent.
As for specifics:
Network:
Old Router: WRT54G (2 1/2 years old)
New Router: WRT300N
-- Router runs WEP encrypt, Ive recently turned off MAC filtering, tested both Channel 1 and Channel 10 (6 is overloaded with 2-3 other routers in the area).
Wiress PCI Card: WMP54GS (90% sure I have the Speedbooster Version)
-- My PCI card has a 7db antenna attached on a 1.5m chord.
Cable Modem (About 8 years old, unfortunately)
Computer Setup
Windows XP Pro 32bit
ZoneAlarm Firewall / AVG Virus Scanner
Intel Quadcore @ 2.4ghz / 2gb Ram @1066 / Dual Harddrives
Side Note: I live about 100-200 metres away from a Canadian Forces Naval Base. I hadn't had any major connection issues prior to moving my computer 16 feet over to the other corner of my room, but unsure if military base could provide wireless interuptions as Im describing.
The only other thing I can think of at this time is range, as Ive gotten my connection down to a 30 based Signal to Noise ratio (Used Netstumbler to determine)
Also plan to upgrade my PCI card to N shortly, though depending.
Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Mac mini and existing Airport wireless connections

Hi.
If i purchase the new mac mini duo processor...I can supposedly hook it up to my old iMac and run Tiger on it...correct?
I am using Airport extreme to connect wirelessly to the iMac, the iBook and my Powerbook. Which Airport would I use then for the iBook and Powerbook?
I also have a PC that I tried to hook up to the Airport using a special app but that did not work. Now, if I hooked it to mac mini, I could then connect wirelessly using the mini's Airport?
Is anyone else totally overwhelmed by how fast technology advances? Most of these discussions...I have no idea what you are talking about.
If the mini is easy, sure to work, will update my system to Tiger, will still run some of my old iWork, iTunes, iPhoto, iLife, iDVD, Photoshop applications...then I will be happy.
But it won't update all of them to Tiger? will it?
I think I need a Mac iPsychotherapist.
PowerBookG4, iMac, iBook, Blue & White G3 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

To upgrade your old iMac to Tiger, you will need to buy a retail copy of Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). You cannot use the Mac OS X install disk that comes with your new Mac mini to update another computer.
If you want, you can move your iWork files, iTunes music, iPhoto pictures and other files & projects to your new Mac mini. The Mac mini will come with iLife '06, the current version, but you should be able to import all your files. The Mac mini comes with a 30-day trial version of iWork '06, you may need to buy a new, full copy to keep using iWork on your new Mac mini.
To answer your AirPort questions, let me first make sure I understand your set-up. You have an older iMac that is connected to the Internet with wires. Your iMac has an AirPort card inside and you're using that AirPort card to "share" your iMac's Internet connection with the other computers? Or do you have an AirPort Extreme Base Station and all three of your current computes are connected wirelessly?
If you have an AirPort Extreme Base Station, there's no reason you couldn't connect your new Mac mini to that network. There's also no reason you shouldn't be able to connect your Windows PC to that network.

Update to 10.4.6 causes loss of wireless mouse

I just updated to 10.4.6, and now my Apple Wireless Mouse doesn't work correctly. It shows in the list of bluetooth-connected devices, and the button functions, but moving the mouse does not move the cursor.
Have tried starting from scratch multiple times. In Bluetooth Setup Assistant, turning on the mouse produces flashes from the mouse LED as usual, until the Assistant announces that the connection is successfully established, when the LED goes out, and stays out. Neither moving the mouse on a surface, nor waving something past the optical sensor causes the LED to emit. Hence, I've now got a working bluetooth mouse button, but no mouse.
Anyone having similar problems?

Hi
I remember a few people with this problem after updating - but having searched briefly, I can't find a specific fix.
However - I do suggest you download & apply the 10.4.6 Combo Update.
The combo update does seem to fix a number of different issues that users have had after installing the standard 10.4.6 update.... so it's certainly worth a try.

Loss of wireless connection with 350n

I am having a terrible time with loss of connection with my 350 N wireless router. The router itself is on top of a bookshelf less than 50 feet away from both of my wireless desktops, and faces straight down the hallway that both rooms the computers are in open from. Often when I start up my computer it refuses to acknowledge that there is a wireless network present in the house and the only way I can make it detect it is if I powercyle the router--which is a pain. Even sitting directly next to the router it will never recognize better than 85% signal strength. And when I load (not play, just initiate loading) download-heavy content such as streaming video or an MMORPG program the connection will often drop and then reconnect seconds later. Upon performing a speed test it unfailingly indicates that my upstream is twice as fast as my downstream, which reads at only around 1165 Mbps--which is absurd as my modem is provisioned for and often surpasses 16000Mbps. What on earth is going on and what can I do to overcome it? I'm getting desperate here.

I have fixed my problem by upgrading the router firmware to version 1.03.7 from version 1.03.5.
The issue I had upgrading the router was it would fail at about 80% when using the router to do the upgrade soooooo, this is how I did it ( stolen from another thread )
Be warned! If you do the below and you have custom setting on the router you need to write those setting down first!!!!!!
1. Download tftp.exe using this link (ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pub/network/tftp.exe)
2. Download the new firmware (version 1.03.7) at Linksys download site
3. Reset your router by pushing and holding the reset button in the rear for 30sec
4. Configure a static IP address (192.168.1.50 with Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0) on YOUR PC
5. Connect a network cable from your PC to your router
6. Test that your PC is talking to the router by openning a DOS window and type "ping 192.168.1.1" (without the paranthesis) and you should get 3 replies.
7. Double click on the tftp.exe
8. Type in the IP Address for the Server: 192.168.1.1
9. Password is "password" (WITHOUT the paranthesis)
10. For the BIN file, click on the square-button and browse to the BIN file that you've downloaded from the LinkSys Site (WRT350N_1.03.7_US_code.bin)
11. Click on Upgrade
12. After the upgrade is successful, perform the reset, again. IMPORTANT!!!! PUSH AND HOLD THE RESET BUTTON FOR 30sec then let go.
13. POWER light should be blinking during boot up then stay SOLID
14. Now, change YOUR PC IP seeting back to what they were before you started this process.
15. Start InternetExploder and surf the net
16. GOODLUCK!!!
As soon as I did this, my laptop wireless started working 100% and right away.

IChat causes loss of internet connection

I keep losing my internet connection when using iChat (video).
About a month ago I started having intermittent problems with my Comcast cable modem connection. I would lose the connection to the internet, requiring power-cycling the modem to regain it. At its worst, it happened 5x a day, but usually it was once a day. Then I'd go for a long stretch of days with no problems.
More recently my iChat experience degraded. In an hour's chat, I would lose the internet connection 3-4 times.
A few days ago I finally had time to drive the modem to a Comcast office to get it replaced. That same weekend I upgraded my MacBook to Snow Leopard. The internet connection has been solid ever since -- except during the iChat I had yesterday.
I lost the connection four times, but now the modem finds it again without requiring power cycling.
I only use iChat with one other person (my sister, also on Comcast, across the country), so I can't do extensive testing. My sister uses iChat weekly with my parents (video iChat, also using Comcast, in the same town as I am, using a 2009 iMac) and they have no problems.
At the end of the most recent chat, I downgraded the speed to 200kbps. The sound was worse (very muddy) and the picture wasn't as good. I didn't lose the connection, but it generally takes about 10 minutes to fail, and we didn't chat that long at the reduced connection speed. So I can't really say if that helped.
I suspect this is a Comcast problem, but I'm not sure. Their bandwidth caps and hardware "upgrades" have caused all sorts of headaches for me in the past, and there seems to be no way to get accurate information out of them. I have no idea if they're capping my speed, degrading my service, or what.
I'm posting here in the hopes that there is some unknown setting or other trick that I can use in iChat to solve this problem. It's unusable as-is, and very frustrating because it used to be better (and because my parents have no problems).

Whoops, I forgot to add that we're both using MobileMe and Airport Extremes. My sister is wireless and I've tried it both ways (no difference).
The iChat error message that appears when the internet connection is lost and the chat fails is something about "no data received in 10 seconds". The following is the only iChat-specific console log data I could find:

Sudden slowness and loss of wireless connection to PC

I've used my Dell laptop on my Airport Extreme wireless network without problem for two years. Yesterday, after installing an HP 8500 printer on the network, my PC became extraordinarily slow on the network, and kept losing its connection. I haven't been able to get it fixed. I've reinstalled the airport extreme, I've reset the cable modem and have turned my firewall off, but nothing has worked. I also uninstalled the printer, but that didn't help either. Any ideas for other things I can try? The imac and iphones connected to this network are still functioning fine, as is the printer, which I've now re-installed. It's just my Dell laptop that is not. Oh, btw, I took the laptop to a wireless hotspot this afternoon, and had no problem connecting to that network.

Update: Reverted to firmware version 7.4.2 and the problem was instantly solved. Hallelujah!

Creating a wireless connection on a Mac Pro with no airport card.

Hello
Forgive me if this has already been discussed but I am looking at all options to add wireless function to a mac pro with OS10.4 that does not currently have an airport card installed. My options so far are to either purchase a airport card, purchase a USB wireless dongle i.e.: D-Link DWA-140 (for which I am having trouble finding something that is compatible) or possibly using a airport express. The objective is to use it for presentations for lectures as I am using keynote and would very much like to use the keynote remote from my iPod touch (later with a iPad) so I can control my presentation wirelessly.
My question is this, will I be able to use an airport express, connect it via ethernet to the mac pro and create the wireless connection with my iPod touch? Will I require a wireless router? Or can anyone suggest an easy way to wireless control a keynote presentation with a non wireless mac.
Thank you so much.
Dave

This is not an exact answer to your question, but we had cable installed today (Virgin Media, UK) and the router is too far for my MacPro tower to connect. The engineer gave me a wireless dongle (the D-Link DWA-140) and said it would do the trick. After a few hours of searching online, I cannot make the dongle connect to the router, so I would recommend that you avoid this option for a MacPro. It may be possible to connect it but I'm certainly not finding it straightforward.

Terribly slow wireless connection.

hi, I have a wireless B router model BEFW11S4 ver. 4. My wireless connection says that it is usually "good" or "very good", but when browsing the web i get painfully slow speeds. When i reset the router and go into the settings and restore my network settings my connection speeds are fast again for about 10-20 minutes before it is painfully slow again. This is terribly frustrating. can anyone please help me, i would appreciate it! thanks, mike

There are many causes for poor wireless connections, and many solutions:
First of all, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
Poor wireless connections are often caused by radio interference from other 2.4 GHz devices. This includes wireless phones, wireless baby monitors, microwave ovens, wireless mice and keyboards, wireless speakers, and your neighbor's wireless network. In rare cases, Bluetooth devices can interfere. Even some 5+ GHz phones also use the 2.4 Ghz band. Unplug these devices, and see if that corrects your problem.
In your router, try a different channel. There are 11 channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Usually channel 1, 6, or 11 works best. Check out your neighbors, and see what channel they are using. Because the channels overlap one another, try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors. For example, if you have a strong neighbor on channel 9, try any channel 1 through 4.
Also, try to locate the router about 4 to 6 feet above the floor, in an open area. Do not locate it behind your monitor or near other computer equipment or speakers. The antenna should be vertical.
Also, in the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. If your current network is not listed, enter its info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings".
If the above does not fix your problem, download and install the latest driver for your wireless card.
Some users have reported improved wireless performance by switching from WEP to WPA encryption.
If you still have trouble, download and install the latest firmware for your router. After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
Hope this helps.

WRT54G keeps dropping wireless connections

Wired connection to the router works fine. But it drops all the wireless devices (PC, phone, tablet) multiple times each day, sometimes only 30-60 minutes after reconnecting. Power cycling the router "fixes" the router and allows reconnection. There are 2 topics in the FAQ section that looked helpful:
Getting poor or no signal from a wireless router
Top causes of dropping wireless connection on a Linksys router
but clicking on those does not bring up anything. Anyone know where to find those 2 FAQs? Any other ideas for what might be causing this?

Hi. You may need to do firmware upgrade on your router as is the case these days for legacy routers. What is the hardware version by the way? You can find it at the bottom of the router right after the tiny print of the model. Access homesupport.cisco.com and search for the model. When you get the router's page click downloads below support sections and from there you have to select the hardware version, once you do that you will see the firmware version for the said hardware version. Usually it is a bin file when you save it and you can open that one on the router's page. Once you access your router's page go to Administration and click Firmware Upgrade and select the file you downloaded from the website. Make sure that you do this upgrade with a computer plugged-in to the router. When upgrade is done, you do a 30-second reset and unplug/replug the router also for 30 seconds. You may refer to this link http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=80&vw=1&articleid=4030.
As for the link for Getting poor or no signal from a wireless router, I found this one from Cisco's public kb site but not able to for the other one but I believe they are related.
http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=d9a3b1b2039741948a2365b053a93ea8_3759.xml&pid=80&r...
Try to change channels as well on your router: you can try 1,3,6,9. Make sure the router is placed at least 3 feet above ground and check the antenna as well if it is still okay.
