Problem with Linksys WRT54GS router? Please help.

Alright, so I have the WRT54GS, and for the longest time after I bought it, it worked just fine, but I've been experiencing problems lately. We have 2 computers running off the router. One is a wired connection, and mine is wireless, which I'm starting to hate. So whenever I'm playing any kind of game that takes up a lot of bandwidth, such as Call of Duty 4, it's been really laggy, and I get connection interruptions quite often. It disconnects me from all my online programs and, i have to wait about 20 seconds and the connection returns again. It's almost as if the router is just under strain and temporarily gives out? It happens if the other computer is running, or if mine is the only one being used. I really hope this problem is normal and fixable, because I don't have the money for a new router. So I'm wondering, can anyone help me? Please, any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

Try the steps below to see if it will help.
There are many reasons for a poor wireless connection, and many ways to solve this issue.
1.      Give your network a unique SSID and do not use Linksys and set your SSID Broadcast to enable.
2.      You can also try A different channel. There are 11 channels and 1, 6 or 11 is better
3.      You can try raising your router approximately 4-6 feet above the floor and make sure the antennas are vertical.
4.      access your wireless software by going to your Profile or preferred networks, if any are named Linksys or ones that you do not know please delete them. Go to the settings or properties and check the information to make sure it is correct.
5.      See if there are any updated drivers to download.
6.      Try to use WPA encryption if you can
*** As always upgrade to the latest firmware
Good Luck,

Problems with linksys wireless router please help!

Me and my 2 flat mates share a wireless network, and for some reasons if cannot connect to it. I have vista home premium and a belkin dongle. We used a Linksys router to begin with, not sure which model, but we recently had to buy a new one because that did not belong to us. I can see the network so the dongle picks up the signal but every time I connect and put in the network key I either get Not close enough to the net work point (the router is about 5 meters away) The network key is incorrect (I created the password and it works on the other two people lap tops) The network has timed out. Sometimes I can connect to the network for a moment then it kicks me off. The connection wizard shows the network at full signal. I’m not sure what the problem is, I have done a full restore on my computer and the dongle was installed onto my computer via the disc it came with. I do have another dongle that is a Linksys one; however it does the same thing. Not sure what the problem is here, can anyone help before I have to go out and buy long network cable and have wires all over my flat i have a heap of work that needs doing this week so any ideas would be really helpfull

I would first try and bring your computer (if possible) closer to the connection point. That way it will have full time to connect. Also sometimes some materials in the walls mess with connections due to the type of material. Sometimes if your IP address is not quite right you will connect but then get booted offline. Sometimes if you don’t broadcast your ssid you cannot connect. (one of my Visa Networks does this ssid broadcast must be on).
Are you using WPA or WEP because Sometimes WEP is not as stable with some wireless modems/ so changing to WPA might solve your problem

Persistent problems with Linksys WRT54GS Wireless Router

I'm currently running Vista with a Linksys WRT54GS router. As earlier discussed in this forum I am still having intermittent problems with the ATV taking down my network. Anyone else experienced this and come up with a sure fire fix?
When it's working I like the set up but I have to say, it is not nearly stable enough to be an everyday solution for getting my music and photos to my living room.
Thanks.

Hi, I am having the same problem -- my 2WIRE modem from AT&T recently blew up. So, I purchased the WRT54GS. As soon as I reconnected the AppleTV to the new router via a wireless connection, all of my machines (Mac and PC) lost their internet connections. I'm seriously considering going out and getting another 2WIRE.

Connection problems with WRT54G Router PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hello all,
Im having a huge issue and im hoping that someone can help me. Awhile ago i changed what i believe to be my router settings using 192.168.1.1 and i believe i added WEP secuirty. I changed my password i know that much. Anyway my problem is this - When i try connecting a router to my computer, i cannot access the internet OR the 192.168.1.1 setup. I just get a yellow caution sign on my wireless settings (running Windows 7), but when i connect my cable modem (Comcast) to my computer, i can access the internet. I have reset both the router and my cable modem MANY times (hard resets) and STILL cannot get the setup page for the router. I have TWO WRT54G rourters and BOTH do the same thing when connected to my desktop , yet BOTH work fine on an old machine running XP, so it is something i did with this computer. Can someone please help me solve this issue? any hlep would be appreciated as i am stumped and do not know how to fix this and cannot use WI-FI or my Xbox 360 until i can fix this..Thanks.

Check the IP address of your computer and see if it's in range with the router's IP.

I have bricked my Linksys 1900AC router -- please help

I installed the custom openwrt image by using the web interface and everything worked as advertised. Then I downloaded the 450MB source and build a fresh image on my Mac using the options speciifed. I then flashed the new image and now nothing works, I cannot ping or telnet or ssh to 192.168.200.1. My router is a brick , only the system light goes on and the ethernet port light.
I tried everything to unbrick my Linksys, but nothing works.
I press the recessed red color reset button for even 2 minutes, the system light does not blink.
I turn the router on and off quickly 3/4 times, nothing happens.
I tried the 30:60:30 rule multiple times, nothing happens.
Finally I prayed and repeted everything that people have said on forum posts , nothing helps.
Please, please help....

With the OpenWRT CC build I don't think the reset button is implemented yet.
Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

Problem with adobe acrobat/reader - please help!

Hello,
My acrobat reader was fine and I was able to open the pdf files sent to me, then suddenly it just wouldn't open anything at all. It went into open mode and just stayed there, and wouldn't let me close it. Then I got a message saying "there is a problem with adobe acrobat/reader. Please exit and try again". I've done this lots of times and it still isn't working.
I would be very grateful for any help or suggestions. I have windows 7, and as I said its all been fine up until now.
Thanks.
mspryce.

This is the Acrobat forum, not the Reader forum. You should check the reader forum. In the meantime, if you are not running AR9.3 or so, you should update. Prior versions before 9 are not designed for Win7 and that might be your issue -- you gave no indication of version.

Problem with Logic XS Key, PLEASE HELP

I use my G4 Powerbook laptop for live. I am running most recent version of logic.
What happens is that Logic will load up fine, but then for no apparent reason logic will come up with an error message saying that the logic key has been removed, but i have not touched it!! I then have to restart logic.
PLease help i have to get this sorted ASAP cuz i have a gig tomorrow nite. Cheers guys

Hmm, it does it on both USB ports? And you haven't noticed any problems with other USB gear on those ports?
When the key is next not recognised by Logic, go into the system profiler and find your USB port that the XS key is on - the XS key will be labelled when it's functioning correctly. Is it still recognised by the computer, or has it gone completely?

Problem with simple drawing program - please help!

Hi,
I've only just started using Java and would appreciate some help with a drawing tool application I'm currently trying to write.
The problem is that when the user clicks on a button at the bottom of the frame, they are then supposed to be able to produce a square or circle by simply clicking on the canvas.
Unfortunately, this is not currently happening.
Please help!
The code for both classes is as follows:
1. DrawToolFrame Class:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class DrawToolFrame extends Frame
implements WindowListener
DrawToolCanvas myCanvas;
public DrawToolFrame()
setTitle("Draw Tool Frame");
addWindowListener(this);
Button square, circle;
Panel myPanel = new Panel();
square = new Button("square"); square.setActionCommand("square");
circle = new Button("circle"); circle.setActionCommand("circle");
myPanel.add(square); myPanel.add(circle);
add("South", myPanel);
DrawToolCanvas myCanvas = new DrawToolCanvas();
add("Center", myCanvas);
square.addMouseListener(myCanvas);
circle.addMouseListener(myCanvas);
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent event) { System.exit(0); }
public void windowOpened(WindowEvent event) {}
public void windowIconified(WindowEvent event) {}
public void windowDeiconified(WindowEvent event) {}
public void windowClosed(WindowEvent event) {}
public void windowActivated(WindowEvent event) {}
public void windowDeactivated(WindowEvent event) {}
2. DrawToolCanvas Class:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class DrawToolCanvas
extends Canvas
implements MouseListener, ActionListener {
String drawType="square";
Point lastClickPoint=null;
public void drawComponent(Graphics g) {
if (lastClickPoint==null) {
g.drawString("Click canvas first",20,20);
} else {
if (drawType.equals("square")) {
square(g);
else if (drawType.equals("circle")) {
circle(g);
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
if (event.getActionCommand().equals("square"))
drawType="square";
else if (event.getActionCommand().equals("circle"))
drawType="circle";
repaint();
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
lastClickPoint=e.getPoint();
public void square(Graphics g) {
g.setColor(Color.red);
g.fillRect(lastClickPoint.x, lastClickPoint.y, 40, 40);
g.setColor(Color.black);
public void circle(Graphics g) {
g.setColor(Color.blue);
g.fillOval(lastClickPoint.x, lastClickPoint.y, 40, 40);
g.setColor(Color.black);
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {}
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {}
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {}
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {}
Any help would be appreciated!

Some of the problems:
1) nothing calls drawComponent(Graphics g)
2) Paint(Graphics g) has not been overriden
3) myCanvas is declared twice: once as an instance variable to DrawToolFrame, and once local its constructor. Harmless but distracting.

Problem with Desktop Skype freezing, please help

2 days ago, Dec. 23rd, I started up Skype as usual, but after about a minute, it froze, soon becoming "not responding". I opened Task Manager to try to end it manually, but Task Manager quickly became "not responding" as well, as did Chrome when I opened it when I tried to search for a solution. This had never happened before, and since has only happened when I am trying to use Skype for Desktop. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times, switching to an older version, and running an antivirus scan to see if a virus might be causing the problem, but none of this helped, and it still freezes itself along with all my other programs, forcing me to restart my computer if I want to be able to use it. I have been using Windows 8 Skype instead today, with no problems, but Skype for Desktop is more convenient for me, and I would very much appreciate it if someone would please help me.
Also, I don't know if this might be related to the problem, but today I had Task Manager open before starting Skype for Desktop, hoping I could end it before it caused everything to freeze (I couldn't), I was able to see before it froze that Skype was using 100% of my Disk.

Weird problems with kt7 turbo (6330), PLEASE HELP!!

I just this last week purchased an older kt7 turbo (6330) to upgrade my brother's computer. I am pairing this with an Athlon XP 1700 processor. After installing all the hardware and booting up the computer, I started getting various errors. Sometimes the screen would just flash all kinds of colors, sometimes it would say something about a bios check not detecting the a: drive followed by insistent beeping, sometimes it just wouldn't start at all. After much hassle, I finally got the newest bios installed from MSI that claimed to fix some stuff between this motherboard and an Athlon XP 1700. (I didn't at the time suspect this to be the true culprit) Finally on Sunday afternoon, after a cold start, it magically started up and I finally got Windows XP installed. I found some drivers on the reference CD that seemed to help some. But now, after about 5-10 minutes, depending on the software being used, the computer will just shut itself down after a 60 second warning message. When I try reseting it, I start getting all of those weird errors again. The only way to get the computer to start up normally again is to let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to cool down, and then cold start it. At which point it will work again for another 10-15 minutes and shut down again. I am getting SOOOOO tired of these MSI motherboards not working for me!! I think MSI has a personal problem with me. PLEASE help me!! By the way, I don't think it's power related, cause I just put in a brand new P4 certified 400Watt powersupply.

Sounds like your heatsink on your CPU may not be seated correctly. Try pulling it, cleaning, reapplying compound, and reseating it.

Problem with touch screen. Please help!!!

Ok I bought an iPad about a month ago now. At first it worked perfectly, runs apps smoothly, etc. But then something happened to the touch screen, it just randomly like pressed itself, it went into apps on its own and zoom in and out while on safari just randomly. For about 3 weeks this issue disappeared, but now it happens again but more constantly and for more time please help. I think this video will explain my issue more clearly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1qyvHV43yg Please I just don't want this issue anymore. Any help will be appreciated.

OK...so it seems that many iPad owners have the same issue with the screen "self registering touches". You'll see multiple posts on the forums from "self touching" to "self registering" to "freaking out".
Well, I also have this annoying problem.
Trust me when I say that cleaning the screen, resets, charging, deleting apps, static, and so on haven't anything to do with causing or resolving this issue.
Here is a little tip to show you what is actually going on. Download a free app that shows you "screen touches". Harbor Master is one that I've heard of that led me to this...but I prefer to use that pocket pond app...only because I can just sit back and watch without having to move boats around.
...When you notice the problem, open up the app. I've noticed on mine that it only self registers touches along the side. Exact location is (when holding iPad in landscape position, home button on left) along the top of the screen...from top middle to the top right corner.
I have called Apple...the tech was polite and tried to help. ...But the only suggestions were to reset (as i've already done) then if that didn't work I was to do a reload while sync'd. He stated that if none of that worked then to take it to the store...
Since I am in Florida for the month and the nearest Apple store is 6hrs away...I will wait until I go back home HI and visit a store that is close by.

Hey dumpeal2,
Welcome to the forums.
Try following the instructions here to backup and do a clean reload of your device software. http://bbry.lv/cKy9A0 if you get the same result then I would suggest contacting your service provider and have them escalate your issue to RIM.

Problem with my code!Please help:(

Hi
Here is the final code to read each byte at a time (using buffered input stream)from a remote sensed image and then store the values in 3 arrays . The image data (it is a remote-sensed image with 3 bands) are represented as a continuous byte stream band sequential. The format of the header is as follows:
Bands (int)
Rows (int)
Cols (int)
Bits-per-pixel (int)
and then the image data follow.
the code is:

It usually helps to know what the problem is before trying to solve it. Perhaps you could tell us?
