Problems w/ BEFW11S4 V.2 Wireless router (Firmware Upgrade & Wireless connectivity)

HI Everyone,
I figurd I try this before I went out an bought a new wireless router.
I have a Linksys BEFW11S4 v.2 wireless router/4port switch and I have (2) issues.
1st, on the HELP screen I have no link to 'upgrade firmware' - (currently using v1.40.2 Nov 28, 2001). I'v etried to download the uprgade and I have the .bin file saved, but have no idea how to upgrade without the UPGRADE link in Help.
Any ideas???
2nd, my wireless conenctions won't work (hence the reason I'm trying to uprgade the firmware - was hoping this might fix the wireless issue).
I have reset the device (reset button to factory defaults and currently have NO security setup for wireless - until I can get conenctivity working again).
Again, any ideas or experience with getting these sorts of problems resolved would be greatly appreciiated!
Thanks for reading this and for any help you might be able to provide.

Were you able to get your issues fixed? I too have had some connection issues with the same router, although mine is V.4. On mine I would loose all connectivity, not just wireless, at random times. It seems like it would happen a lot when I would use the wireless for my laptop (i.e. when I would bring it out of sleep mode). I have also had it happen with streaming media. The only way I can fix this issue is to power down the router for a couple seconds and then it's fine, until it happens again. I had two different guys from Linksys (try to) help me and I did everything they recommended and it still does it.
Hopefully you don't have the same issue...

Problem with Dell Printer and Wireless Router

I have a new Linksys Wireless Router (3100) and it handles 3 laptops, PS3 fine. But I have a Dell 715w network printer (also new). I have it set up on the network, and it works fine upon setup. The problem is the printer does not work all the time. Sometimes I can get an error message, sometimes it says it is busy, and other times it literally takes a long time to load and then does not print. I usually can get it to work again by rebooting and turning off the router and printer and laptops, but this hit or miss is very annoying and I never know when it will do this again, usually after a week or two. I wonder if the problem is that the 3 laptops all have different OS - XP, Vista and Windows 7. Dell tech support won't help as they say they don't support routers, but I am wondering whether the problem is ina s etting or if this printer is malfunctioning. any help would be appreciated

Yes. You have to key-in the IP address to the printer.
Basically, if the printer is set to obtain IP address from the router, it will be provided with a random IP or any IP available for the next device that will connect, on this issue, your printer. So there's no permanent IP address for the printer, making it a little hard to find at times. Compare it with the a static IP, your computer can easily map it since it doesn't change.

Problem with a new WRT54G wireless router

Hello. I recently purchased the WRT54G router to use in my home. Previously I had a desktop that was wired directly into the internet through a Comcast cable modem connection. I got a laptop and wanted to get it online as well, so I got the wireless router. Since installing and hooking up the router my internet on the desktop hangs. I do a bit of gaming, and it seems to come in almost regular intervals where I'll lose connection for one to three seconds at a time. I have the router hooked up such that my desktop is still hardwired, but coming out of the router. I tried to connect my desktop to the router wirelessly to see if this would remedy the problem, but it did notThis is quite frustrating and I've been unable to find anything that may be the cause of this. It also seems to happen on my laptop while browsing. I'll click a link and the browser will hang, unable to go anywhere, then I'll click again and it will go right through. If anyone else has had this problem or knows some way to fix it I'd love to hear about it. Thanks much Message Edited by Pezmage on 02-06-2008 04:49 PM

Try updating firmware. Reduce MTU to 1350, and disable block internet requests in security tab.

Problems with internet box, not wireless router

I recently got another internet box hoping my problem with disconnections would be solved but sadly it hasn't... This is the second internet box I have gotten from Verizon and it wasn't any better. The first one kept disconnecting me from the internet and I called tech support and they couldn't help me so they just ended up sending me a new box. I thought it might be the wireless router but that didn't solve the problem either. Is there any way to get a newer better box because it seems like the generic box that Verizon sends doesn't last very long and recently I've been disconnecting from the internet anywhere from 2-3 times a day. Being a college student with all my homework online and a sister and brother also in college makes it really difficult when I can't rely on staying connected. If anyone can help with this I would be very happy.

#1 Is this on Verizon DSL OR on Verizon FIOS?
#2 What is the brand and model of this Internet box?

Problems with a Belkin N wireless router

Weird problem I'm having.
Whenever I wake up my g4 powerbook from sleep, I can't seem to connect to the router despite having a full airport signal being displayed on my laptop. I have to "turn airport off", wait a few minutes and then turn it on again, 2 or 3 times before it connects again - despite the airport signal being at maximum strength. I also have an iPod touch which never has this problem and always connects first time. My laptop also has no problems connecting to other routers when on the move, just this one.
I did speak to Belkin who suggested the laborious process of changing the wireless channel until I find one that works well. I have the same problem on every channel. I'm beginning to think this is a specific problem between my router and my laptop as both components seem to be working in other pairings.

I have the same problem, but it's only one of the problems since 3.1 update:
1. Wifi Problems, like described in this topic
2.
Bluetooth disconnects after a few minutes from my car phone system, after another few minutes it reconnects.
3.
My iPhone is very slow. If I press the home button then it needs about 5 seconds to show the unlock slider. then I will unlock, nothing happend and other 5 seconds later the phone unlocks. To open the sms application sometimes needs many seconds. sometimes it's not possible to unlock the iphone and I have to reboot it.
I hope apple will provide a bugfix quickly, before that I never had problems with my iPhone.

Problem adding computers for WRT150N wireless router

I just set up my home wireless network and can connect from my laptop (which is running Vista). Following the instructions exactly, I am unable to connect my Desktop (running XP). I got to the part where I must enter www.linksysfix.com/ela in the web browser but nothing loads. The cable that is currently connecting my desktop to the router is the same one that I used to connect my laptop so I know it's not defective. What gives?

Check if you have a static ip on the pc. Go to control panel>network connections>right-click on local area connection and click on properties>highlight internet protocol tcp/ip and click properties. Make sure it's set to obtain ip address automatically and obtain dns.
Good luck! (",)
The box said windows xp or better... So I installed Linux!

New Intel WIFI Wireless Network Adapter does not recognize Wireless Router

I have had a Linksys BEFW11S4 Version 4 Wireless router for quite some time. It works like a champ and I have one Laptop wired to it and a second using Wireless working just fine. Recently, I received a new ThinkPad W500 Laptop with an Intel WIFI Link 5100 AGN wireless network adapter. The older laptop that works just fine with the router uses a
11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Express Adapter by Atheros. However, the NEW laptop with the Intel Adapter fails to connect to the Router. It will either indicate a failure while "Waiting for Association" or it will indicate a failure when waiting to "renew IP Address". Sometimes, it will show a signal strength close to ZERO (Even as the older laptop with the other adapter is showing a signal strength close to 100%) When I called Linksys support, I was told that the facts that the Router (a) works find with the wired Laptop and (b) works fine with the 11a/b/g NEtwork Adapter and (c) works fine when WIRED to the new laptop all indicate that the problem is NOT with the router at all -- but with the Network Adapter. Can anyone tell me what has to be adjusted in the Adapter settings? Right now, I am using IBM Access Connections for BOTH of the wireless laptops. I have made sure to set IDENTICAL values for SSID and WEP (128-bit) [static] password. I have also ensured that all OTHER settings are the same for the two laptops. Yet, in one laptop, there is NO PROBLEM while in the other, I can not get the Wireless Adapter to "see" the signal from the Router. TO further check this, I have [temporarily] disabled the WEP password, enabled SSID broadcast, and disabled the MAC address restrictions that I put in (so that the system would be totally "open") yet the Intel Adapter STILL did not "find" anything. In addition, when I use the "Find WIFI" feature in Access Connections, I find that SOMETIMES the network with SSID is found and sometimes, it will display "unknown network" and not pick up the SSID.
This is all very frustrating. If anyone has experience with the Intel WIFI Link 5100 AGN Adapter, I would appreciate any hints, tricks, ideas, etc.
Think you!!!!
--Zvi

I installed the LATEST version of IBM Access Connections as well as verifying that I have teh LATEST drivers for the Intel Wireless NEtwork Adapter.
What now happens is that I am able to authenticate to the Router. However, I get a failure on "renewing IP Address" -- which [according to the diagnostic message] means that the Rotuer fails to provide me with an IP address to use. Do you have any suggestions?

Wireless router password issues

Here's my problem. I have a wireless router and am connected on it right now. My problem is that I don't have a password on it. Every other day it seems like when I try to connect to the router from my laptop it's asking me for a password again. Everytime I have to reset the router and log in fine. Is there some way to stop this?!? Please help if you can. Thank you.

Change the admin password on the router so no one else can get onto it and reset your WEP settings.
This happened to my brother whenhe was in college. He didin't want a WEP on his Wireless but his buddies kept messing with him, logging on and changing his settings.

Printer keep getting kicked off wireless router

HP B210 Printer is having problems keeping connected on a wireless router> I have already uninstalled/reinstalled the printer off the Laptops. It will work for a few days then quit working. Next idea should I try to Static IP the printer on the laptop. Or should move the Wireless router to another area. Thanks

Welcome back to the forums @914-965-4048
I read about the wireless disconnection issue you're facing with your Photosmart B210 model, and I wanted to comment with my suggestions. I would actually agree with you, and try assigning a static IP address, and also check the location of the router to see if that could be the problem.
Read through this document to help you with assigning a static IP: Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection

How to choose wireless router

Hi
I am facing with the problem.How to choose the wireless router part number support the following:
Support 802.11n/a/b/g standard
Operates on both 2.4 and 5 GHz frequency
Support Power over Ethernet (so you don’t have to wire the power cable, just use LAN)
Support QoS in order to provide different service level based on priority
MUST have WPA2 encryption
Best Regard,
Kthh

The 3600 AP has an AC module that suits your needs. The SKU tha includes the module is:
AIR-3602E-AC-xK9 or
AIR-3602I-AC-xK9
3602E has external antennae while 3602I has internal. Replace the x in xK9 with the letter for yout regulatory domain. US would be AK9.
Cisco also has an AP with internal AC capabilities, the 3700. The SKUs are:
AIR-CAP3702E-x-K9 or
AIR-CAP3702I-x-K9

Slow initial connection to internet via wireless router

Hi,
I have a D-Link Xtreme N 450 wireless router that I used with a MacBook Pro running 10.9.3. When I first open the computer, the internet quickly connects (I can surf, get email, etc), but after a few seconds it disconnects, searches for a wireless router, and then gives me the exclamation point in the wireless icon. It stays down for a 1-3 minutes, then mysteriously reconnects. I've looked everywhere for a solution and cannot seem to find one. I ran wireless diagnostics and got one error message that may be the problem - it says a nearby wireless router has the wrong country code and could be causing problems. But has anyone else had this issue or think they know of a potential solution?
Thanks!

am in the DFW area using Verizon Fios - I have a D-Link DIR-655 router and a 24" Imac running Mac OS X 10.5.1. I purchased the Apple Airport router thinking the problem with internet speed might be my router. This was not the case - every computer in the house was much slower using the Airport - so I returned it to my Apple store.
I have now switched off the bluetooth and airport on my Mac - it is hooked straight into the router and every day at about 6:00 it slows down to turtle speed while my other 2 laptops that are wireless in the house and much older - are lightening fast.
I have called Verizon and had them out - they say there are not enough people on Fios to create any traffic problems at certain times of the day - which I believe being that the Apple Imac is the only computer with the problem.
I have downloaded Firefox and have the exact same problem.
There has got to be some solution for this - my speed checks out very fast during this time - T2 speed for download and upload - I'm ready to throw this apple out the window.

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.

Problems re-setting up BEFW11S4 V2 wireless router

I disconnected the Linksys wireless router as well as the RCA DSL/Cable modem. When I tried to reconnect, 1) the wireless network is no longer seen by my laptop, and 2) does not appear the cable/dsl modem and wireless router do not recognize each other.
I can't recall with slot in the wireless router the ethernet cable from the cable/dsl box should be connected to and I realize it should have been just a plug and play.
Sorry for the the non-technical explanation, but any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

• Set the router to Obtain IP Automatically or DHCP.
• Disable the Block WAN Request and clone the PC's MAC address.
• Change the LAN IP of the router to 192.168.2.1.
• Perform a power cycle.
