My router appears to be overheating.

And it drops connection randomly more and more frequently. We have tried to have it restarted and evaluated already by tech support. But its still very hot.

Which router do you have (make and model) and how do you have it oriented relative to the bottom of the device?

Satellite A30 Appears to be overheating

Hi there. I have just read previous posts re the A30 overheating and shutting down. Mine has been doing the same. Could someone clarify, where are the vents for me to try vaccing - are they on the back by the power cable - these look quite clean. Do I have to open it up to vac them?
If this doesn't work can anyone advise where I can go to get it serviced, ie is there a list on the internet of recognised Toshiba service engineers?
Many thanks

Vacuming might help, but basically you need to suck the muck back out through the fan, rather than drawing through the vent, as the fan draws muck in and has a "manifold" that directs the cooling air over the cooling fins.
When I disassembled the cooling fins on my A30 (2yr old, kept cutting out), the input side of the fins were completely blocked with dog hair and dust, to the point it appeared to be a felt filter! Cleaning the fins is not a major operation, but does need confidence:
basically you remove the 2 torx screws in the bottom of the unit (below the power input) which exposes the cooling fins. There are then 4 screws that hold the fins to the CPU, which when removed allows the fins to be lifted off.
This is when you find all the muck blocking the cooling fins input.
When re-assembling, it is a good idea to use Heat Transfer Compound (available from Maplins 2.49 part No. RE96E) to give a proper bonding between the CPU/Heatsink.

Router appears to be losing my IP address twice a day, what to do to fix?

After having a smoothly running network for over one year, for some reason my router seems to be losing my IP address. This is fixed by simply unplugging the router and plugging it back in, but what a pain to do twice a day when I didn't have to before.
Fast facts that I have tested.
1. Problem occurs 1-2 a times a day
2. When problem occurs my home computer, and my laptop both show that they are connected at the proper internet speed...just when you click on the internet it comes up as can't be found. In other words I lose all my internet connection capability (including both ethernet land lines and wireless) until I unplug and replug in router...but pc SEES connection.
3. If I directly from the modem to the pc (bypassing the router) everything works fine. (except I can't support a network that way)
4. I normally and have for 3 years put my Sony PC to sleep...never turning it off. In other words I'm not doing anything differently.
5. The router is a linksys WRT54G.
I'm scratching my head trying to figure out why it would just "Decide" to start doing this. I haven't loaded any new programs except for something that was called an Apple softward update. But I don't remember the problem starting just after that.
I also did a "system restore" where you go back a few days (or weeks) which can usually undo issues like this...but no luck.
Anyone have this happen before? Any suggestions?

about the SES network that you see on your laptop...
you or somebody else might accidentally pressed that secure easy setup button at the front panel of your router...

Linksys e3000 occasionally suddenly rebooting and/or disconnecting due to overheating

I recently purchased a Linksys e3000 router and was experiencing intermittent disconnects and reboots (about once every 5 minutes). After digging through several forum posts I was able to discover that the router was most likely overheating. I felt the bottom of the router and found that it was indeed very hot, so I placed a fan next to it and exposed some more of the ventilation. Its been about an hour so far but it appears to be performing fine.

When any electronic device reboots on its own, it is almost always overheating, or has a virus. Since this is a router, you could try upgrading firmware, and then doing a proper hard-reset, by holding in the reset button, unplug the power (while still holding in reset) and then replug in the power. Continue to hold reset button this whole time for 30 seconds, then release, and configure router.
If problem continues, just return it or buy another.

Having trouble setting up Tenda router, website dead?

I got this cheap Tenda travel wireless N router, it's a Tenda 150m(something in Chinese)G5. I was planning to use it as a travel router to get my iPad on hotel wired internet, and later to extend wifi in my house. I have the setup instructions, it wants me to go on a browser to 192.168.2.1 to get to the setup page. But it never responds no matter which browser I use.
Searching on the net for help, I have found other addresses. I therefore also tried 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.1 and those don't respond either. It only cost me 15 bucks, so it's no big loss if it doesn't work, but I would really like to get it going.
I also have an Airport Express on its way to me for the same purposes, which I expect to work better for me. But does anyone have experience with this one?

The router appears to be defective.

As you can see in the show ip route from RouterC below, I am able to see a route for 1.1.1.0/24. It is an EIGRP AS redistributed into OSPF.
However, I ping '1.1.1.1' from RouterC, but it times out. Why can't I get to 1.1.1.1 from RouterC ?!

I agree with Sundar that since the route appears in the routing table that you probably do have a viable path to get to 1.1.1.0 and that the problem is most likely lack of a return path.
One way to verify this would be to run debug ip icmp on the router that you are attempting to ping and then do the ping again. If the debug output shows that the ping packets are being received then you have verified that the problem is with the return path.

My nano 6th Gen Overheated

It appears my nano overheated. I used it while running during a hot day (approx. 30min. in about 72-degree weather). It worked fine the whole time outside, but the screen started flickering. It restarted on its own a few times. I connected it to a powersource to check on it futher. While it stay on the homescreen for longer, it eventually flickered out completely. I felt it. It was really warm, but not hot. I let it cool, but nothing happened as a result. Do I have to wait longer? Is there anything else I can do? Please don't tel me I have to replace it. :-/

Yes. You probably have a short in either your earbud wires or the headphone socket of the iPod. Try a different headset to isolate the problem. If it's inside the iPod, I use De-Ox-It on a tiny swab to clean the contacts. If it's the earbuds, just get a new pair.

T410S Integrated Overheating

When I run anything CPU intensive (eg, Skype, Matlab etc), my T410s (integrated graphics) appears to be overheating and crashing.
It gets very hot and then the screen goes black and it turns off. See the attached chart of heat, 90C seems far too high:
http://img191.imageshack.us/i/speedfanreadings.png/
Any suggestions on what I should do? I just updated the bios, but it doesn't seem to have changed anything.
FWIW I just reinstalled onto an OCZ Vertex and I'm using Windows 7 x64 drivers not Lenovo drivers. Overheating didn't seem to be a problem before the reinstall, using the same setup but with a normal hard disk.

The Power Management driver is absolutely essential. Windows installs a slightly older driver anyway by default I believe.
Try taking off the keyboard and cleaning out the fan. If that doesn't work, tighten the screws on the heatsink.
Power Manager works fine for me on my T400, as does the switchable driver except for the Intel GPU issue; works perfectly fine elsewhere. Power Manager just launches slowly.
Lenovo's Intel wireless drivers seem to be just repackaged Intel drivers with some fluff removed.

Overriding access restriction in router

I have three wired computers hooked into a WRT54G2. One computer I want to restrict internet access. User can go into Network Magic basic and hit the refresh key and it will override the router settings. Any suggestions??

Peanuts, thank you for the response. The user does not have access to the password for the router, he doesn't access the router, the settings in the router appear to be changed by hitting the refresh button in Network Magic. The use of the Network Magic password does not apply when just accessing the Map screen and that is where the refresh button is located. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. thanks.

MPLS - How are external/internal routes distinguished?

Hi all
I was setting up an MPLS environment and wanted to get some more information about how MPLS VPN's work. Basically I have three sites connected to the MPLS cloud. Site A runs EIGRP on the customer side and Site B runs OSPF on the customer side. Site C is the one in question. The way I have it designed, Sites A and C have full visability into one another and sites B and C have full visibility into one another. When I configure site C with eigrp, all proper routes are seen, but the OSPF routes from site B are seen as EIGRP external routes. When I switch site C to OSPF, EIGRP routes from site A are seen as OSPF External type 2 routes. I guess my ultimate question is, How does the PE router at site C know the originating protocol? All the routes it receives are from BGP. Does a certain attribute carry this? If so, is this feature specific to Cisco gear or an RFC standard? Thanks in advance for all your help. I can include configs if that would help, below I'll show you my RD and RT's for each VRF and the routing tables of the CE router at Site C before and after the change.
Site A
ip vrf a
rd 1:111
route-target export 1:100
route-target import 1:101
Site B

Hello Edward,
I see nothing strange in the results you have posted. They are completely natural to the process of carrying customer routes over MPLS L3 VPN.
You know yourself that the customer routes are carried between PE routers using BGP, and from PE towards CE, these routes are redistributed from BGP into the particular routing protocol running between PE and CE. Each of these routing protocols automatically marks redistributed networks as external networks. For OSPF, this is a normal part of the open protocol specification - that routes injected into OSPF via redistribution shall be represented as external routes (and carried in LSA-5). Similarly, when you redistribute into EIGRP from a different routing protocol, these routes will be carried by EIGRP as external networks. So what you see here is natural and normal. Even if all sites ran the same routing protocol (EIGRP or OSPF), one site would see networks from other sites as external routes.
In fact, there are extensions to BGP using extended community attributes that try to preserve the original nature of the redistributed routes. The prerequisite is that all sites run the same IGP, either OSPF or EIGRP. In that case, EIGRP routes carried over MPLS can be made look like internal routes although they are redistributed, and OSPF will make the routes appear as inter-area routes, not as external routes. There is even a modification to OSPF allowing you to see other sites as intra-area routes (though this requires configuring so-called OSPF sham links between PEs). All of this is done because an internal network is always preferred to an external network. This causes trouble if there is a backup link directly interconnecting two sites, bypassing the MPLS cloud. As the routing protocol run over this link advertises all networks as internal, this link would always be preferred to the MPLS VPN which is exactly the opposite of what you want to do.
Please feel welcome to ask further!
Best regards,
Peter

Strange routes in my router

trange Routes in my Router
Hi,
Yesterday, I logged in my Linksys router and I found the same strange route appearing multiple times and I have no clue where it is coming from. All my computers are virus free and I am using firewalls on all of them. The router is password protected. Also, RIP is disabled on the router.
Anyhoo, I resetted the router and the routing table went back to normal. Now, today, I log in again in the router and I see these routes again. Here are the strange routes:
0.0.0.0 124.171.0.0 180.207.2.208 207 LAN
0.0.0.0 124.171.0.0 180.207.2.208 207 LAN
0.0.0.0 124.171.0.0 180.207.2.208 207 LAN
0.0.0.0 124.171.0.0 180.207.2.208 207 LAN
0.0.0.0 124.171.0.0 180.207.2.208 207 LAN
0.0.0.0 124.171.0.0 180.207.2.208 207 LAN
0.0.0.0 124.171.0.0 180.207.2.208 207 LAN
0.0.0.0 124.171.0.0 180.207.2.208 207 LAN
0.0.0.0 124.171.0.0 180.207.2.208 207 LAN

0.0.0.0 124.171.0.0 180.207.2.208 207 LAN
Anybody ever seen this?
How can the same route be added over and over again?
Thanks

Yes, it is a very weird Subnet Mask.
Destination LAN IP    Subnet Mask    Default Gateway    Hop Count    Interface

0.0.0.0    124.171.0.0    180.207.2.208    207    LAN
0.0.0.0    124.171.0.0    180.207.2.208    207    LAN
0.0.0.0    124.171.0.0    180.207.2.208    207    LAN
0.0.0.0    124.171.0.0    180.207.2.208    207    LAN
0.0.0.0    124.171.0.0    180.207.2.208    207    LAN
On the status page, there is no gateway address. But if I look in the routing table, the route of last resort points to my provider and is OK.
Anyhoo, a route that points to Asia is pretty suspect to me.

Am I going to need a new router, or can I upgrade my existing model ?

Hi
I wonder if someone could help me out here, I have a Edimax AR 7084gA 802.11g wireless router which is 4 years old, it has been running my husbands Acer Aspire 9300 laptop running Linux Ubuntu (and previously Vista) for 4 years and, and my MacBook running Leopard and now Snow Leopard for over 3 years without any connectivity problem.
We both have a 3g iPod Touch now running on iOS4, since the purchase of both iPods we have been having trouble with both of them loosing internet connection, we open Safari and are told the content is loading but nothing happens, three bars are showing for the signal most of the time. To combat the problem we are having to re-set the network settings a couple of times a day and this solves the problem straight away, and then it works just fine for hours.
We have used both iPods in several hotels and for a week in our sons house in Germany, and have never once had an internet problem, or had to re set the network settings.
The questions I have are, do I need to do something with the existing router ? I have looked on the Edimax website for firmware updates and the latest for this model are from June 2008 and the download seems to be for Windows only, or do I need to think about upgrading the router to a more powerful 802.11n model such as Apples Airport Extreme.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, the problem is not a great one, but a niggle that I would rather sort out as we will soon be buying an iPad and I would like to get it sorted before then.
Many Thanks.

I'd get a new router. Your existing router appears to have problems, is 4 years old and is no longer supported by the manufacturer. Since you can get a good wireless-G router for around $35 would be the cheapest approach (e.g., Netgear WGR614v10 at Staples).
If money is no object, you could move to a wireless-N router like the Airport Extreme. If you do get a 802.11n wireless router make sure it is one that implements the final version of the 802.11n standard and not a draft version.

Using "route-target import" only connected routes?

When using the route-target import, the only routes imported are ones directly connected on one of the other PE routers. How does one get the advertised routes and the connected routes imported?
PE1 -- PE2
|
|
PE3
Customer's remote site attaches to PE1 which peers to PE2. PE2 connects to Customer HQ.
Another VRF (100:110) provides a centralized service that will be used by several different customers. Some of the subnets for this shared service are directly connected to PE2 while other subnets are directly connected to PE3.
Since PE1 and PE2 were already peered, I thought all that was needed was an import statement to get the routes from the shared service vrf into the customer's vrf.
PE1:
ip vrf customer1
rd 100:105
route-target export 100:105
route-target import 100:105
route-target import 100:110
When I do a 'show ip route vrf Customer1' the only routes that appear are the ones directly connected to PE2. I then peered PE1 to PE3, creating a full mesh but no other routes appeared in the routing table.
PE1 -- PE2
\ |
\ |
\ PE3
I plan to use an export map and import map to filter the networks to the desired ones, but in this example, should not all routes be seen from the shared services VRF (100:110)?
Thanks!

Frank,
Performing the import on one PE doesn't cause that one PE to start advertising the imported prefixes to other member of the same VRF on other PEs.
If you want the prefixes from the shared services VRF to show up in the customer VRF on all PEs, you need to import RT 100:10 in VRF Customer1 on all PEs.
Hope this helps,

My router appears to be overheating.
