Problems with Linksys Wireless-B Adapter

I was wondering if anyone had any problems setting up a wireless network using their MSI Neo2 Platinum. I currently have a linksys wireless adapter connected to mine, and there is no wireless signal being received by the adapter. The adapter is getting power, and is detected by XP, but there is no signal. I tried moving the computer closer to the router, but to no avail. I currently have the PCI card connected to the network PCI slot, but before I had it in one of the others. Made no difference really.
I called linksys and that didn't work. The same card works in a biostar board that my sister's computer has, and works perfectly there. I can't seem to find the problem so now I'm going to go ahead and blame it on this wonderous motherboard :P. System specs if you need it:
Processor: FX-55
Motherboard: MSI Neo2 Platinum
Memory: Corsair TwinX1024 PC3200
Hard Drives: 2 Seagate Barracuda's 120 GB (each) SATA
What's wrong?! Thx in advance for the help.

My son hooked up a Linksys 2.4 GHz Broadband Router to my Yahoo DSL modem. My Mac computer operates on OS 10.2.8 and my son's computer is a PC laptop. Everything was working fine until I my desktop screen went blank. I reinstalled everything and attempted to install Yahoo DSL. While I could not operate DSL on my Mac, my son was able to use the internet on his PC laptop. I disconnected the router and reloaded Yahoo DSL software and it works, but my son can't use the internet now. Recently Microsoft discontinued support Internet Explorer (IE) for Mac computers. Do you think I need to re-install IE on my computer even though I don't use it? When I installed Yahoo DSL, the Yahoo DSL icon never reappeared. All I do now is click on Firefox, Netscape, or Safari to get on the internet.

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

Problems with Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Tour BlackBerry OS 4.7.1.61 update:

Problems with Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Tour BlackBerry OS 4.7.1.61 update - I was anxious to download the update to see if it addressed the sticky trackball problems and the low volume issue when using a blue tooth device. However, in the process of updating my BB Tour yesterday, the install stopped on the 8th out 12 updates. After a couple of 'retrys', the BB error message on the desktop came up which instructed me to: i) disconnect the device, ii) restart the computer. iii) restart the loading process and, iV) restore my data by loading the loader back-up file using Restore. Unfortunately my Tour was left without any software and the Desktop manager couldn't recognize it. The error message on the Tour was 503. Called Verizon Wireless tech and bottom line, the only fix is a new Tour, which they're sending me. Anyone else having issues with the update? Also, does it address the trackball and blue tooth issues?

I had issues with the trackball and had to have my Tour replaced. I was told this model does not have a removable trackball so the entire phone has to be replaced. My current one is working OK but does stick a bit. Seems to get worse over time. My wife's tour is newer and so far she is not experiencing the problem. Have not experienced a problem with the Blue Tooth volume.
I have another issue with this upgrade that I am wondering if anyone else has seen. My wife has the Tour as well. She was prompted to do the upgrade and went through it. It appeared to work except it blew out her Contact Alerts. When we put them back in we can no longer get the sound to play when she receives an SMS message in her holster. Vibration works but doesn't do any good when it is in her purse. Phones calls, calendar alerts, alarms all work in holster. As soon as we delete the contact alert the default SMS alert will play in the holster. If she takes her phone out of the holster the Contact alert will play. My phone is still running 4.7.1.40 and this function works fine. I am thinking about trying to put her's back to my version if possible but not sure the best way to go about this

Window 8 WiFi problem with Cisco wireless network

Anyone encounter a Windows 8 WiFi authentication problem with Cisco wireless network?
We are using WLC 5508, 7.2.111, and AP 3602i with WPA2.
Sent from Cisco Technical Support iPad App

This problem occurred with Soney, and Dell models. Lenovo with Windows 8 factory installed is working fine.
Won't make any difference as these laptop's wireless NIC cards are different.
Can you try with OPEN authentication. If the Sony and/or Dell laptop works, then you start cranking up the security and/or encryption settings until you break them.
I'm with Scott here: It's got to be a wireless NIC card driver.
As what George has stated, post the debug of the failed attempts.

I'm having problems with a wireless Logitech mouse

Since upgrading to ML i'm having problems with a wireless Logitech mouse that worked well prior to the update. I'm using the current Logitech Control Center software. No other mouse software is on my Mac Mini. If I use a Guest Aacount the problems ( wheel and back button ) are not present. Any suggestions?

You might try the Logitech support site. There are communities on there:
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/keyboard-mice-combos
Here is a link to drivers:
Logitech Drivers
You might check your home folder/Library to see if you can find a Logitec .plist.
You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Hold down the option key while using the Finder "Go To Folder" command. Enter ~/Library. Delete the .plist(s) for the mouse.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.2. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

TS3048 I am having a problem with my wireless keyboard on my iMac

I am having a problem with my wireless keyboard on my iMac. Sometimes the keys seem to have a life of their own and I get a string of the same letter or symbol even though I only pressed the key once. Does anyone know how to rectify this?

Hello:
Try resetting the PRAM and SMC.
If that does not help, the KB is probably failing.

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.

Problem with Linksys WRT54G2 Wireless Router

My ipod sees the linksys wireless connection, it has a lock icon but doesn't ask for the Shared Key i have the security set to WAP, why is this?

Welcome to the Linlsys Forums, please follow the steps below to gain access to your Wireless Network.
Step 1
Tap on the "Settings" icon.
Step 2
Select "WiFi" from the menu.
Step 3
Slide the "WiFi" tab to the "On" position.
Step 4
A selection of wireless networks will appear below. If the network has a lock icon next to it, then you will need the password for that network in order access it. If there is no lock icon, then that connection is public, and you will be able to access it.
Step 5
Click on the network that you want to access, and the ipod will connect to that network whenever you are in its range. Remember that a password might be needed to gain access to that network.
Note: If you are sure that you are within a wireless network range, but do not see it when you access the WiFi menu, you can manually enter the access information by clicking on the "Other" tab.
Have a nice day and I hope this helped.

Problem with connecting wirelessly

I'm using the linksys wrt54gs with a motorolla cable adapter to connect to cox internet. Right now I am typing on the computer that is connected physically to the linksys. The problem is that all my wireless devices have lost wireless connection at same time, 2 computers and ps3. I tried other deivices that connects wirelessly and they either don't connect or connect and say not internet avialbe. This problem was worse last time it occured because that time my main computer had to be connected straight to the motorolla. I am using LInksys easylink advisor and it shows a green line (internet that only goes to the desktop but shows a gray line to the other computers. This has happened a few times before and is there anything that can be done to avoid this in the future? The firmware on the router has not been upgraded at all

It is always recommended to upgrade/re-flash the firmware on the router.So, first upgrade/re-flash the firmware on the router and then check the connection on the computer.

Problem with Linksys wrt300n

Hello all,
I have a problem for a long period of time with my WRT300N wireless router.
It works fine until it just disconnects the wireless client (3COM USB adapter). In order to restore connectivity I have to unplug power from the router and plug it back.
Although it seems as a router problem, immediately after the client got disconnected I've tried to connect to the router with a laptop and it failed to connect, so I became pretty sure that it is a router issue.
I've searched for an updated firmware and it seems to be 2.00.17 which is what I have. There is source code available for 2.00.18 but no compiled and ready to use file (I'm not a programmer so I don't know how to do that, though if someone will provide me with instructions I'll be glad to try).
If somebody has an advice for me and\or a link for an updated version I'll be grateful.
Many thanks,
Max.

After the upgrade, it is recommended to reset and reconfigure the Linksys router. Make sure also you remove network profiles on your android devices before trying to connect again.

WRE54G wireless extender problem with WRT600N wireless router

My Vista laptops work fine with the WRT600N router but not with the WRE54G extender. On the other hand my XP laptop works fine with the wireless extender so I know that both router and extender are working. Linksys tech support told me that the WRE54G is not compatible with the WRT600N, which is simply not true. With my XP laptop the signal goes from poor (5-10 Mbps) without the extender to excellent (54 Mbps) with the extender. Also, the lower blue light on the extender blinks indicating data transmission. I can access the setup page of the extender only with the XP laptop and wired desktop computers but not the Vista laptops. I suspect there is a Vista network setting that is the problem. I've turned off the firewall but to no avail. I've also switched between mixed mode and G-only, which made no difference. Anybody have any suggestions?

I have a secure wireless network (WPA). Perhaps my 4-5 year old XP laptop is the only laptop on the planet that works with the WRE54G-WRT600N combination. But I can assure all the doubters that this laptop categorically works flawlessly when I would otherwise be out of range without an extender. Good luck to spalaw. Please let me know if you are get your WRT160n to work with the WRE54G, especially you're able to connect with a Vista laptop.
Hi
I am Afraid and wont be surprised if ya all people are nt able to use a N series Router with a G series Range Expander !
the Reasons is simple - N series is not BackWard Compatible as u check out the sources around. (Back Ward Compatible means compatible with the previous versions for its wireless Band , e:g - G band and B band.)
as far as my experience is concerned regarding the Range Expanders , me and my bud wasted a whole Week Configuring a WRT350N and WRE54G v3 , and it worked somehow on the seventh day for an hour and Lost the connection again! Dayumm !
and we tried setting up with the same expander with WRT54GS v7.2 , it worked like a charm.
Conclusion : " WRE54G is a g series 2.4 Ghz expander which will work fine with all g series router though may not work with N Serious routers."
and if you really wish to Use something which can actually Extend the range for ur N routers signals , Better go for WAP4400N !!!!!!
And if someone still wish to run around , wanna try some tweaks (which i dont preferr )!
for WRT600N , just enable 2.4ghz band . as Range expander doesnt support 5 Mhz.
Use Only standard Channels . e.g : 1,9,3,11 .(No Wide and stuff.)
Try using WEP encryption first . (cause thats how we made WRT350N worked for a while. sighs)
At last , Wish u Luck.

Ios7, ios8 wifi problem with Linksys WAP54G

I have 4 apple wireless devices (iPad mini, iPad 2, iPhone 4, iPhone5) in my house.     I have about 8 other wireless devices (non-apple).   I have a Linksys WAP54G wireless access point (on the latest software 3.08.06).
Everything worked just dandy until I upgraded to iOS7.   At that point, all apple wireless devices did the same thing: After a random amount of idle time, picking them back up again, they'd be disconnected from the network.   They all claimed they were connected to the wireless network, had an actual valid IP address from the WAP, but would not access the network.   Just spins.    Only solution is to deactivate wireless on the device, and re-activate.   Now works fine until the next random time it drops it again.
I figured this would be fixed in iOS8. No luck.
All other devices of different types (windows 8 lenovo laptops, Roku boxes, Tivo boxes, Nest thermostat, etc...) ALL have always connected just fine to the wireless network, and the Apple devices USED TO until iOS7.
Clearly they broke something in iOS7, and it is still broken in iOS8.
I realize this is an old WAP, but come on.
anyone else have this issue?    Apple, what did you break and why can't you fix it?
thanks
tom

I am in the UK and have one of the fastest fibre optic broadband on the market but have the same issue with my iPad air since downloading ios8. I can no longer watch Netflix and pages close, or just go incredibly slow. Apple are you going to get this fixed. My iPad drops outs of my broadband connection and buffers constantly yet I have no problem with other devices.
thanks

Constant Problems With Linksys Wirless Router

Ever since I bought this Linksys Wireless Router it's been the same ordeal. At certain times, depending on what websites I visit, it will knock me right off the internet and I can't get back on unless I restart my computer. It is so aggravating and annoying and takes like 10 minutes to restart each time. I was assured that the Linksys Wireless Router I bought was compatible with Vista. I've had this same problem ever since I bought it. I've talked to tons of technical support staff and none of them know anything. They all give me a different reason. They tell me I need to download new drivers or the latest version or whatever else, but nothing works. The same problem persists. One thing I have learned is that I get knocked off by going on specific websites. So, in order to use the Internet, I must avoid these known websites that cause me to get knocked off the Internet. I can try and reconnect, but it always says that no network connections are available afterwards, and I must restart my whole computer to get back on the Internet. I am perfectly fine going on these known websites on my other computer that has the actual modem/router hook up. Anyone know why this happens and if there's anyway to fix this? If not I am just going buy me a whole new router/modem cause I am tired of this crap. Thanks, Blake

Change the MTU size on the router to 1300 ... Also reset the browser security settings ....
You can also forward ports 25-27 & 443-447 ... to ensure that secure sites should open ....

Conflict with Linksys Wireless C

I've recently installed a Linksys Wireless Networking WMP54G card in my desktop and apparently it is conflicting with my Audigy 2 Soundblaster card (i.e. each works fine by itself, but the system keeps re-booting if they are installed together and won't boot into Windows XP at all).
I'm using Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2 and Linksys tech support has been no help at all, simply telling me it's an OS issue and there's nothing they can do. I already tried manually assigning IRQ numbers to each of the PCI slots in the BIOS, but that doesn't seem to have done anything, since when I view "System Information" in windows, the IRQ for both the Linksys card and the Audigy are changed to IRQ 7 (instead of 0 & , as I had manually assigned in the bios).
Does anyone know if there's a way to change the IRQ setting on the Soundblaster Audigy 2 card, so that it doesn't conflict with my Linksys card? Or, alternati'vely, is anyone familiar with any XP settings that I can change to get XP to assign a different IRQ to the Soundblaster card?
At least a link to any possible information would be very much appreciated. It's been three days now of trying to get these two cards to work together and I'm about to throw the whole thing out a second story window!
Thanks!
:angry:

check your bios if the option Plug&play os is enabled.
This because Linksys is right, windows handles the irq/dma sharing automatically.
And as you experience not always the right way.
Maybe you can move one of the two cards in another pci-slot(move them as far as possible away from each other(Linksys+Creative card).
i guess you can better contact M$...(if you've a legal windows).
Or try a Linux boot cd(li've cd linux that runs from cd like knoppix). Because if you've the same problem with a linux li've cd then it must be a hardware issue, if it works fine with Linux Li'veCd then it's a Windows issue like Linksys try to explain.
knoppix li've CD: (download image and burn it to cd-r, then start computer(boot) with this cd-r in it)
http://www.knopper.net/knoppix-mirrors/index-en.html
oh "and I'm about to throw the whole thing out a second story window!" advise: throw the soundcard away!
p.s. congratulations with your Wireless Fidelity hardware...WiFi=freedom !!!(compared to commercial isp's)Message Edited by www_96KHz_tk on -4-2005 2:05 PM
