Problem with BEFW11S4 V4

Hi, I have windows Vista and Comcast is my provider.  Just today my router crapped out, I hadn't changed any settings and it won't communicate with the modem now.  The modem is fine (connected though it right now).  I've power cycled both the modem and the router, and reset the factory settings, I've also updated the firmware with the latest available and it didnt change anything.  Any suggestions?  Thanks for your time.

Have you resetted the router after upgrading the firmware...? If not then,reset the router for 30 seconds and re-configure the router from scratch...Also,On the router setup page,Under the Setup tab...Click on the subtab Mac Address Clone.Click enable and then,click on "Clone My Pc's Mac" and click on save settings..Now,power cycle the router and check again.

  • Playstation 3 - connection problems with BEFW11S4

    I am having trouble connecting my Playstation 3 to the internet via my BEFW11S4 wireless router.
    The PS3 scans and finds the router ok (signal strength is good), I enter the SSID, WLAN security setting is WPA-PSK (TKIP), I enter the WPA key and select 'Easy' in the Address settings page.
    The PS3 comes back with the following error message
    A connection to the access point could not be established. Check the security settings for the wireless LAN (8013013E)
    Does anybody have any idea what I might be doing wrong?
    I have a laptop and desktop which connect via this router with no problems.
    Someone suggested switching off the router security - might this help? - how would I do that exactly?
    Any help would be gratefully received. Thanks.

    Thanks for the replies....
    I made two adjustments - turned off the router security and manually entered an IP address in the PS3 (as advised on another forum) - not sure which of these made a difference (I'm sure through trial and error I could work it out) but it seems to be working ok now.
    However the connection speed seems very slow - to download the latest system update took over an hour - it shouldn't be this slow should it?
    Any advice on how to achieve a faster speed?

  • Problems with BEFW11S4

    I have a BEFW11S4 router linked to a D-Link ADSL modem, providing a wired connection to my desktop PC and wireless connections to my laptop.
    Until last week it was working fine. Then, one evening, it lost the Internet connection and, since then, nothing I have tried will restore the Internet connection.
    If I take the router out of the loop and connect my PC directly to the modem the Internet connection works OK, so I think the trouble must lie in the router.
    I have the router set to 'Obtain IP automatically', as instructed by my ISP but I am not convinced that this is functioning correctly. as I am unable to ping the IP address that it delivers for the gateway.
    I thought of using the 'Static IP Address' setting, as my PC has a fixed IP address from my ISP, but my ISP cannot give me an IP address to use as the Default Gateway, so I'm stuck.
    Any suggestions as to what to try next?

    With a bit more reading of this forum, I managed to find the answer for myself - at http://forums.linksys.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=Wireless_Routers&message.id=29502&view=by_d...
    Problem was solved by keying in my Mac address into the 'MAC Address Clone' configuration page and then rebooting everything.
    With this setting in place, the automatica retrieval of my WAN IP addresses functioned correctly and my Internet connection was restored.
    The mystery is, however, why, after working happily for more than 18 months the router should suddenly fail and require this MAC address setting. I'm fairly sure that I did not set this address when I first set up the router. My ISP claims not to have changed anything.

  • Problems with BEFW11S4 V2 Wireless Router

    I just brought in this BEFW11S4 V2 to work to use as a temporary wireless router. Last night I had it working perfectly at home, updated the firmware got it all setup for work and all was good.
    I bring it in today power it on, plug an ethernet cable into it and a desktop so that I can get my WEP password off the 192.168.1.1 ui. Bam windows comes up with limited or no connectivity. Try to enter setup anyways through ie and its a no go. Run an ipconfig get a 169.254.160.74, something ive never witnessed. Did a release and a renew, no dice. Tryed on another computer, same deal. So I download linksys site advisor program maybe it will fix this, nope it says that it doesnt detect a router. Ive tryed other ethernet cables and nothing seems to work.
    Can anyone help me? I dont know where to go? Is there anyway I can set the router to factory defualts without being able to enter the ie ui? Help is greatly appreciated.

    Issue Resolved, figured out how to hard reset it.

  • BEFW11S4 problem with XP

    I have a BEFW11S4 v2 that I've been using at home for a number of years to support two wired computers upstairs, a wireless one downstairs and the occasional transient.  So far, I've not had any problems with wireless connections.
    Originally, both wired systems were Win98 and worked flawlessly.  When one of those systems was upgraded to XP Pro it started having problems losing the connection to the router.  Attempting to reconnect using the Windows repair button or manually requesting a new IP address fail.  I would have to shut down the XP system, shut down the router, then power them up, router first, to get everything running again.   Since my daughter took the XP box to college, it wasn't all that big a deal.  However, I have since upgraded the other system to XP Pro SP2 and it now has exactly the same problem.  XP is current with all patches and the BEFW11S4 v2 has the most recent firmware. 
    The system seems to remain connected as long as it's in use, but if left unused for more an 24 hours it usually loses the connection and must be rebooted.
    Any ideas what's different between 98 and XP that may cause this?
    I appreciate any suggestions.
    Mike

    I'm having a similar problem - router has been working well for the last several years with two systems - W98 and WXP Pro. Added a second/new XP Pro system and now router hangs and must be rebooted anywhere from every 5 minutes to several hours when new XP Pro system is powered on. Still no problems at all with either of the other two systems. I've checked the MTU value and it is correct. Any solutions out there for this problem? I can supply config information if that would help identify and fix the problem.

  • BEFW11S4 Problems with Laptop and Xbox 360

    For the past few weeks my Linksys BEFW11S4 has been malfunctioning. When I try to connect to the wireless network from my laptop, it says "Not Connected" but I can still access the internet for a few minutes before it really disconnects. Unplugging the router and plugging it back in lets me connect again, but still it gives the "Not Connected" message and boots me off within a few minutes. It has also been causing problems with my Xbox 360. It is connected with an ethernet cable to the router, but every time I turn the Xbox on it says that it is not connected. After I unplug the router and plug it back in, the problem is fixed, and I can go online on my Xbox for as long as I want. Anyone know how to fix this?

    It seems that router is not configured properly ..... checkthe firmware version on the status page of router ..... .
    Upgrade the firmware if required .....

  • Linksys Router BEFW11S4 problems with iphone

    i have a linksys router bedfw11s4 version 4 and im having problems with wifi on my iphone
    i can search and connect to my router but the interent is extremely slow
    i have no problems with my laptop
    i read some info on this board regarding changing it to static ip but im having problems figuring out how to config it
    when i goto into my router setting i only see 1 DNS address

    So on your IPhone you are getting connected to your Wireless Network, but the Internet is working slow, then i would suggest you to change some settings on your Router....
    Once you login to the router setup page, Under Wireless ... Change the Wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz and click on Save Settings.... 
    Then under Advacnce 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 check if your IPhone, how is the Internet Speed.... 
    If still slow then i would suggest you to upgrade the firmware of your Router.... 
    Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop..
    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
    Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful"  After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
    Now reset your 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...

  • Problems with WPA

    Hi, I have a BEFW11S4 wireless linksys router and a problem with WPA. When I first create the password I am able to login perfectly, however when I log off and try to log back in I cannot, even with the correct passkey. What I have to do is go back to my desktop and reset the password again. When I do that it works. I already have upgraded my firmware, but the problem has not gone away. I am stuck using WEP because of this. Is there any reason this is happening and how can I fix it?? Thanks in advance.

    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.
    You should be using "WPA Preshared Key" with TKIP.  Is that what you selected in the router?
    The WPA key (sometimes called password or passphrase) cannot contain any spaces, and must be 8-63 characters  (capital letters, small letters, and digits).
    What is the make and model of the wireless card in your computer?  With most wireless cards, you can enter a "Preferred network" or "Profile" into your computer.  This will store your SSID, encryption method, and password, and make it easier to get a connection to your router.  Go ahead and use this.
    Also, 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.

  • I had a problem with my WRT54GS not connecting to my inte...

    I had a problem with my WRT54GS not connecting to my internet until I cloned my old routers mac address. I was using a BEFW11S4 which was bullet proof and worked for several years until I changed to Wireless G. Upon purchasing the WRT54GS and setting up all parameters exactly like I had before I could not make any connections, wireless or otherwise until I cloned my mac address to the same address as my previous router. Apparently my ISP had that mac address registered and would not properly perform DHCP even though all other paremeters were correct. I read lots of messages here on line with issues with the WRT54GS connecting and this fixed my problem outright. If you upgrade from a previous generation router (Linksys or otherwise apparently) copy your old routers mac address and clone it to your new router and you should be able to connect. This fixed my problem after several hours and days of troubleshooting. Good Luck Karnage

    As an alternative to using MAC address cloning, you can phone your ISP, tell them you have a new router, and tell them to reset their system to accept the MAC address of your new router.   This way, you won't have to remember the old MAC address, in the event that you need to reset your router to factory defaults.

  • Big Problems with a WRT54GS

    I recently purchased a WRT54GS V5, and have the following issues: No wireless access, if I do a site survey with the PC that has a wireless card no access point is found. I have a wireless game adapter that also will not associate. If I only have my pc connected via cable it functions OK. If I connect my Ximeta external drive to another port, within 5 minutes nothing works, the router won't even respond to a ping. The weird thing is I assumed the router had failed and replaced it with a new one. Same problems. If I connect the PC to the cable modem directly everything works fine. I have put my old BEFW11S4 back into service, but I am at a loss what to do. Help!

    ALL WRT54G v5/v6/v7 and GS v5/v6 run on VxWorks. Linksys will not own upto there being problems with this Operating system and the lack of ram/hardware that v1-v4 of the G and GS units had.
    Fortunetly, people have had enough and actually made their own Bootloader to make the units now run on Openwrt and DD-WRT 3rd party firmwares.

  • Connection with BEFW11S4 Router

    About 2 months ago I got a new computer. Ever since, while I am able to connect to the internet,  the connection is very slow.  We have a second computer in our home that has no problems with the connection.  But yet the new computer has trouble downloading videos, websites, etc at the same speed as the other computer. 
    I spoke with the company that build my computer and they stated this was a problem with the router and I should countact them for assistance.  I have the Lyksys BEFW11S4 Wireless-B Broadband Router.  Can anyone offer me any assistance as to how to get the new computer running off the internet at the same speed as our older one?
    Thank you in advance for you help! 

    On your New Computer try to Disable the Firewall and Antivirus on your Computer and check how its working. As you have mentioned your other computers works perfectly fine, this means your Router is working fine  without any issue. You should disable the firewall and antivirus and i think this might solve the problem.

  • A problem with threads

    I am trying to implement some kind of a server listening for requests. The listener part of the app, is a daemon thread that listens for connections and instantiates a handling daemon thread once it gets some. However, my problem is that i must be able to kill the listening thread at the user's will (say via a sto button). I have done this via the Sun's proposed way, by testing a boolean flag in the loop, which is set to false when i wish to kill the thread. The problem with this thing is the following...
    Once the thread starts excecuting, it will test the flag, find it true and enter the loop. At some point it will LOCK on the server socket waiting for connection. Unless some client actually connects, it will keep on listening indefinatelly whithought ever bothering to check for the flag again (no matter how many times you set the damn thing to false).
    My question is this: Is there any real, non-theoretical, applied way to stop thread in java safely?
    Thank you in advance,
    Lefty

    This was one solution from the socket programming forum, have you tried this??
    public Thread MyThread extends Thread{
         boolean active = true;          
         public void run(){
              ss.setSoTimeout(90);               
              while (active){                   
                   try{                       
                        serverSocket = ss.accept();
                   catch (SocketTimeoutException ste){
                   // do nothing                   
         // interrupt thread           
         public void deactivate(){               
              active = false;
              // you gotta sleep for a time longer than the               
              // accept() timeout to make sure that timeout is finished.               
              try{
                   sleep(91);               
              }catch (InterruptedException ie){            
              interrupt();
    }

  • Problem with Threads and a static variable

    I have a problem with the code below. I am yet to make sure that I understand the problem. Correct me if I am wrong please.
    Code functionality:
    A timer calls SetState every second. It sets the state and sets boolean variable "changed" to true. Then notifies a main process thread to check if the state changed to send a message.
    The problem as far I understand is:
    Assume the timer Thread calls SetState twice before the main process Thread runs. As a result, "changed" is set to true twice. However, since the main process is blocked twice during the two calls to SetState, when it runs it would have the two SetState timer threads blocked on its synchronized body. It will pass the first one, send the message and set "changed" to false since it was true. Now, it will pass the second thread, but here is the problem, "changed" is already set to false. As a result, it won't send the message even though it is supposed to.
    Would you please let me know if my understanding is correct? If so, what would you propose to resolve the problem? Should I call wait some other or should I notify in a different way?
    Thanks,
    B.D.
    Code:
    private static volatile boolean bChanged = false;
    private static Thread objMainProcess;
       protected static void Init(){
            objMainProcess = new Thread() {
                public void run() {
                    while( objMainProcess == Thread.currentThread() ) {
                       GetState();
            objMainProcess.setDaemon( true );
            objMainProcess.start();
        public static void initStatusTimer(){
            if(objTimer == null)
                 objTimer = new javax.swing.Timer( 1000, new java.awt.event.ActionListener(){
                    public void actionPerformed( java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt){
                              SetState();
        private static void SetState(){
            if( objMainProcess == null ) return;
            synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
                bChanged = true;
                try{
                    objMainProcess.notify();
                }catch( IllegalMonitorStateException e ) {}
        private static boolean GetState() {
            if( objMainProcess == null ) return false;
            synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
                if( bChanged) {
                    SendMessage();
                    bChanged = false;
                    return true;
                try {
                    objMainProcess.wait();
                }catch( InterruptedException e ) {}
                return false;
        }

    Thanks DrClap for your reply. Everything you said is right. It is not easy to make them alternate since SetState() could be called from different places where the state could be anything else but a status message. Like a GREETING message for example. It is a handshaking message but not a status message.
    Again as you said, There is a reason I can't call sendMessage() inside setState().
    The only way I was able to do it is by having a counter of the number of notifies that have been called. Every time notify() is called a counter is incremented. Now instead of just checking if "changed" flag is true, I also check if notify counter is greater than zero. If both true, I send the message. If "changed" flag is false, I check again if the notify counter is greater than zero, I send the message. This way it works, but it is kind of a patch than a good design fix. I am yet to find a good solution.
    Thanks,
    B.D.

  • Problem with threads running javaw

    Hi,
    Having a problem with multi thread programming using client server sockets. The program works find when starting the the application in a console using java muti.java , but when using javaw multi.java the program doesnt die and have to kill it in the task manager. The program doesnt display any of my gui error messages either when the server disconnect the client. all works find in a console. any advice on this as I havent been able to understand why this is happening? any comment would be appreciated.
    troy.

    troy,
    Try and post a minimum code sample of your app which
    does not work.
    When using javaw, make sure you redirect the standard
    error and standard output streams to file.

  • Problem with threads and camera.

    Hi everybody!
    I've a problem with taking snapshot.
    I would like to display a loading screen after it take snapshot ( sometimes i
    have to wait few seconds after i took snapshot. Propably photo is being taken in time where i have to wait).
    I was trying to use threads but i didn't succeed.
    I made this code:
    display.setCurrent(perform);               
            new Thread(new Runnable(){
                public void run() {               
                    while((!performing.isShown()) && (backgroundCamera.isShown())){
                        Thread.yield();
                    notifyAll();
            }).start();
            new Thread(new Runnable(){
                public void run() {
                    try {
                        this.wait();                   
                    } catch(Exception e) {
                        exceptionHandler(e);
                    photo = camera.snapshot();                               
                    display.setCurrent(displayPhoto);
            }).start();This code is sometimes showing performing screen but sometimes no.
    I don't know why. In my opinion performing.isShown() method isn't working correctly.
    Does anyone have some idea how to use threads here?

    Hi,
    I've finally managed to work this fine.
    The code:
           Object o = new Object();
           display.setCurrent(perform);               
            new Thread(new Runnable(){
                public void run() {               
                    while(!performing.isShown()){
                        Thread.yield();
                   synchronized(o) {
                      o.notify();
            }).start();
            new Thread(new Runnable(){
                public void run() {
                    try {
                        synchronized(o) {
                           o.wait(1);
                    } catch(Exception e) {
                        exceptionHandler(e);
                    photo = camera.snapshot();                               
                    display.setCurrent(displayPhoto);
            }).start();
