My wifi loses connection to my phone and laptop at the same time every 30 mins or so.

Hey all.
  I have a WRT160 V2 router with firmware  v2.0.02. I have had the router for years without any problems. A few months ago I have started to see an issue where I lose connection to my internet on my laptop, and wifi on my phone at the same time. I have wifi calling on my phone and it disconnects also at the same time. All of a sudden, everything will stop working, then about 40 seconds later, it all works again. I lost the connection maybe every 30 to 60 mins
Does anyone have an idea what can be causing this issue? Thank you. 
It is really annoying because I rely on wifi calling for my primary phone, and I end up getting cut off when talking to people. BTW wifi calling is for all tmobile phones, but also normal wifi to surf the web on my laptop and phone drops too at the same time.

I would suggest that you isolate the problem. You may start the isolation by connecting a computer directly to the router (hard wired connection). Observe the connection for couple of hours. If the connection is stable, problem might be on the wireless settings of the rotuer. If the connection is not stable, do further isolation. Connect the computer directly to your modem. Observe the connection for couple of hours. If the connection is not stable, call your internet service provider. If the connection is stable, problem might be on the router itself. Upgrade the firmware first (firmware available in the website: Ver.2.0.03 Build 9). After the upgrade, reset and reconfigure your router.

  • How can I delete photos from my iPad, iPhone, and laptop at the same time?

    How can I delete photos from my iPad, iPhone, and laptop at the same time so I don't have to do it separately on each device?

    Photos that were synced from your computer using iTunes can only be deleted by de-selecting them from the folder from where they were synced -  and then re-syncing.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
    If you want to remove all of the Photos - uncheck the Sync Photos from Heading
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    If you are using iTunes 11 - this will be helpful, Setting up syncing in Windows.

  • Using wireless phone and PC in the same time

    Hello, my mum would like to use a classic phone handset for skype calling and in the same time to use a computer for typing skype messages. Is it possible to do this with some phone divice? I have read that phone handsets usually do not need to be connected to the computer. But she needs to have skype program on PC (to read and write messages) and call with phone. Thank you very much for advice.

    Using either a device like the Freetalk Connect Me or a Skype USB adapter allows you to utilize a standard home phone for use with Skype.  Your mother would be able to utilize the handset to talk  and at the same time continue to text chat with someone over the computer.  If she's logged onto skype on more than one computer at a time, her chat messages will still go through.  If she wants a wireless home phone to work, she would have to have the phone base station connected to one of those adapters.

  • Unable to connect router to internet and computer at the same time.

    I'm not sure where to start, but here goes. We recently got the internet set up at out new house. Of course, the only connection is downstairs and the computer is upstairs. The guys that set the internet up said we needed a wireless router and I said "Ok, cool."
    He gave us a router and a receiver and hooked them both up. (I myself know quite a bit about computers but I figured I'd let him do his job.) So we're all set up and I start playing my game and I get a "Windows has a conflict with another computer on this IP" or something like that. I figured I might as well put some security up on this thing. So I go downstairs and hit the SecureEasySetup (SES from now on) button and come back up here and follow all of the steps and it say's that it's not connected. I run back downstairs and looc for the MAC Address and notice that it was not mentioned as one of the selectable routers.
    I figured the guy didn't really install the router, just hooked the internet up into it and plugged it in, and that my reciever picked up someone else's from the neighborhood. So I go and get the CD to install and notice that I have to have the router plugged into the computer AND the internet at the same time for installation to complete. Uhh, that could be a problem. Computer upstairs + router and internet cable downstairs = no go.
    So here's my question: What can I do about that? I can't have the computer and the internet hooked up to the router at the same time.
    Thanks to everyone that replies.

    First off... don't use the setup CD.
    Configure your router by http(ing) to the IP address, log in, and configure that way.  much easier.  typically its http://192.168.1.1
    username admin
    password admin
    once you get logged in change that password and Remember it!  If you lose it, you'll have to reset to factory defaults.
    2nd
    Change your SSID. Default is "linksys"  you'd be suprised how many people leave the thing as defaults and someone else is using yoru network connection...
    3rd
    Add security WPA is better than WEP
    4th
    Now go upstairs and look for your new SSID, connect with your WPA code and you should be set.
    5th - Not needed but for info...
    If you want to go that far... you can change your DHCP set to something like 10.0.10.x but you'll have to manually change the IP of the router to that subnet as well...

  • Use phone and ical at the same time?

    Are you able to be in the middle of a call and check your icalendar for an event without dropping your call? If so, please walk me through how you do this.
    Thank you!!

    Yes - it's easy
    Hit the round home button to get you back to your home page when on the call
    Then select iCal as usual (or any other app) - and it will open right up for you to review the schedule

  • I have an iPad 2 (wifi 3G). Is it correct to use wifi and 3G at the same time ? Or one at time depending on connectivity? Thanks.

    I have an iPad 2 (Wifi + 3G). Is it correct to use the Wifi and 3G at the same time, or one at a time, depending on connectivity? Thanks in advance.

    Your iPad will use wifi first if available. If wifi is not available, it will use 3G.

    OK great info!
    I found 2 possible ethernet to USB adapters:
    By "Plugable":  USB 2.0 to ethernet LAN wired network adapter - seems this will work, but I'll contact Plugable.
    2. Apple USB Ethernet Adapter
    Easily connect your MacBook Air computer to an Ethernet network with the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter. Small and light, it connects to the USB 2.0 port of your MacBook Air and provides an RJ-45 connector that supports 10/100BASE-T performance.  BUT NOT SURE IF THIS WILL WORK ON ANYTHING BUT a MacBook Air…
    One person commented: 
    This little gem used to be the device of choice for adding a second Ethernet interface to a Mac Mini Server and I'd been using one that way for about a year. After doing a software update to 10.6.6 it stopped working. Forewarned is forearmed – it appears that Apple is finally enforcing the MacBook Air system requirement.
    Thanks for any additional comments.

  • IPad turn on wifi and 3G at the same time

    If my iPad turn on the wifi and 3G at the same time, which data will my device use? The wifi or the 3G?

    Ie.. At home if your in settings, wifi, connected to your home wifi....3G will not be used. As soon as you leave your house(car etc) 3G takes over until your connected to another wifi hotspot. To keep your data usage down, turn off 3G when you don't want to use it, or limit use by checking for wifi if your going to be in a location for a while.

    I have two Apple accounts the one on my I phone and computer are the same the one on my mini i pad is different I have credit on my mini i pad however, when I purchase an App or movie I am charged on my credit card and the $40:00 worth of I Tune cards is by passed I have tried to change the mini i pad account details to be the same as my computer and original apple i.d.account however, it will not allow me to do I have tried to reset the mini  i pad but not all the way to factory otherwise I would loose all my data. I have visited a genuis bench at Fountain gate however, they tell me I need to ring apple support which I will do on the next working day.

    You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

  • Wi-fi connection on HP Deskjet 2540 and network at the same time?

    Hello
    Please can you tell me how to keep my connection to my wi-fi printer whilst connected to my Virgin Media Broadband? Every time I want to print I have to switch off the Virgin network connection and connect to the HP Deskjet Wi-fi, and then switch it back again to Virgin to browse or send emails.
    Thank you for your help

    Hey there @AC33 Welcome back
    I understand you are looking to install your printer on your network, so you can use the internet and printer at the same time. By the sounds of it, you may be connecting the printer currently, using the Wireless Direct feature, which will only allow you to connect to the printer or the network at a time. Basically, the printer is acting like a network.
    Here is a link for you to check out. It will help you install the printer on your network:

  • Streaming wifi and bluetooth at the same time is it possible in air play from iPod

    Streaming bluetooth and wifi at the same. Is it possible?

    You are not able to send the music to two different streams, you can use the bluetooth and wireless at the same time but for different tasks.
    The best way I have seen for what you are attempting, is to buy a wired splitter and two bluetooth transmitters, and have each transmitter broadcast bluetooth sound to the two different locations.
    I have not found any other way except when using itunes on a desktop computer which allows the selection of multiple output destinations.
