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?

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • HT204409 I am trying to log onto my wireless connection but it keeps telling me I'm unable to locate any wireless network.  I know there are several networks nearby. Is this a problem with my phone or my router?

    I am trying to log onto my wireless connection but it keeps telling me I'm unable to locate any wireless network.  I know there are several networks nearby. Is this a problem with my phone or my router?

    I found a solution that has worked on both iPhone 4's I have that have had the same issues, and also including not being able to download updates in the App store.
    Go to Settings > WiFi and turn it OFF.
    Next go to General > Cellular > Cellular Data and turn it OFF
    Next go back to Settings > WiFi and turn it ON, (wait a few seconds for it to sync with your network)
    Finally go back to General > Cellular > Cellular Data and turn it ON.
    I had the same issues on both my wife's phone, and my own, and it fixed it immediately without changing any proxy settings or reboots, (which I did try on my phone and did not work, but did not try on my wife's phone)
    Hope this helps!

  • Turned off power strip to DVR Box and Wireless Router...n​ow I don't have internet connection​..

    I went away this past weekend and turned off the power strip that my DVR box and wireless router are plugged into.  When I got home early this morning I powered them back on and  I did not have an internet connection anywhere in my home.  I restarted the router twice and still no connection.   My computer says that connection to my wireless is "very good" but I get  notice that computer "cannot display webpage" or "invalid web address".   I left for work and have not tried anything else to remedy this issue.  Ideas anyone?

    Is your TV Service and Phone service if you have it working as it should? What does the router indicate as far as status lights go?

    i cant open many website with firefox, there say filter not let open this site, but when i open they with internet explorer not have any problem.

    Could you post an example of the filter message?
    This article has more information on the filters built in to Firefox: [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/phishing-protection/ Firefox Phishing and Malware Protection].
    It's possible that you also have a Firefox add-on, or external software, that is filtering what you see. However, we don't have enough information to help identify it yet. If you want to review a list of your add-ons, you can find them under: Help > Troubleshooting Information.

  • Printer print size is very small. Do not have this problem with Internet explorer.

    When I try to print something in Firefox, the printer print size is extremely small. I do not have this problem with Internet Explorer.

    File > Page Setup - '''Scale''' <br />
    100% or Shrink to Fit is usually best.

  • 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.

  • Adding To The LIst Of Problems With Internet Explolrer 11 And Another Browser

    I've b1 of the EA6500 router and like the othe posts I can't use IE 11.  The "solution" is to use either Chrome or Firefox but not my Chrome has stopped working.  All I get now is the LInksys Blue background.  When I first see the site it looks like it's trying but then gives me a blue page.  I've included screen prints of what I see when I go to Linksys Smart Wi-Fi page and below that is the version number.  I have deleted my browser history, cache, saved form data, etc. but the result is still the same.  And it doesn't matter if I use the router IP address or the Smartsys Wi-Fi link.
    So right now the only broweser that will let me do router administration is Firefox but something tells me it too will have problems eventually.
    the problem I'm having isn't with the router, it is with the company.  People have tried to blame Micrtosoft in these posts for the problem but it's not their problem.  The real kicker is that these Smart Wi-Fi routers are not old. nor are they cheap.  LInksys announced this line at CES 2012, then again in April, and the last one announced for thie "initial" line-up of new routers  was the EA6500 (the EA6500 was anounced in June 2012).
    I've been mostly happy with LInksys reouters but if this is the way they are going to conduct business, then maybe I need to make certain adjustments with the networking products we purchase. 
    To put it bluntly...this situation is unacceptable.

    Believe it or not I stumbled across the solution to the problem and need to partially retract one of my previous statements.  In a sense part of the responsibility does go to Microsoft because during one of their infamous "updates", the default version of Internet Explorer was changed to use the 64-bit version.  I rarely used the Internet Explorer (64 bit) link in my Start Menu...I always used the "default" which apparently was the 32-bit version because there are plenty of companies that have not updated their software for 64-bit.
    The article I came across is Problem With Internet Explorer? Maybe You Need Fewer Bits.  The fix is simple and all it really takes is to right-click the icon for Internet Explorer and choose "Properties".  When that comes up change the value in the "Target" field from "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe".  Once you make the change save the change and then use that link to get to administer your browser.  I tried it and it worked.  I guess I missed the post from Linksys Support about that possibility.

  • Problem with Internet Key Onda Mt835Up: It doesn't work with mac os 10.6.6

    Hi I have a problem with internet key Onda MT835UP. It doesn't work, because my imac is more new than internet key.
    Can you help me? Can you send me the upgrade for this internet key?
    Thanks

    I have called Onda, there isn't the driver for Mac OS X 10.6.7 and they don't know if it'll be released.
    So if you have a Mac it's better to not buy Onda internet key,
    instead it's better to choose other brands that update the drivers of their products.

    Hi efacg,
    Most printing issues are solved by resetting the Printing preferences. When you print from Firefox and you click on the down arrow, do you see Defualt and Firefox? Please make changes to the preferences here and preview the document.
    If this continues to be an issue please also see [[Fix printing problems in Firefox]]
    If there are any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask, we are here to help.

    Firstly, try a factory reset. This can often iron out problems like this.
    Also, what generation is your TC? What version of AirPort Utility are you using?
