Random reset of Linksys router

Problem:  Linksys router randomly resets in small business environment.
Model Number: WRK54G V2.0 (Router is part of Linksys Network Kit.)
Router Firmware:  1.00.1
Observations:  Linksys router resets when Sony laptops are using the Linksys router and other routers (from neighboring small business) are on.
However,
Linksys router does not reset when Sony laptops are not using the Linksys router.
Linksys router does not reset when Sony laptops are using the Linksys router and the other routers (from neighboring small businesses) are off.  This was discovered during after hours when neighboring small business were able to turned off their routers.
Solutions found on internet search:  All internet search solutions found to date recommend replacing the Linksys router with another brand of wireless router.  Solutions date back to March 2005.
Question 1:  Does Linksys have a solution for using Sony laptops in a multi-router  non-Linksys environment?
Question 2:  What is happening in the Linksys router to cause it to reset?

My 1st gen iphone (16GB) is up to the same antics. Pre 2.0 all was perfect. Then then update... During calls, if you adjust the volume for either the iphone earpiece, speaker phone, or bluetooth headset (I'm using the Plantronics voyager 520, which was purchased at the apple store), the ringer volume gets adjusted as well.
Just go into the sounds option under settings, make a call, and watch in awe as you adjust your call volume and ringer volume at the same time.
I've missed calls b/c the volume resets it self to a lower (random) setting. Now I must check after every call. The best part is if you push up on your volume button while at the home screen (the ringer volume pop up appears) and note that you have it on the highest setting, go ahead and check the sound option under settings. It will be at some random lower level. Oh my phone never did this on 1.4. I do hope the engineers are reading this and release a fix ASAP. The main purpose of the iPhone is to be a phone. Missing calls due to a low ringer volume is crazy.
Oh, I've already restored, don't bother, problem was not resolved. I haven't come across any other problems with the 2.0 update.

  • WRT160N V3 Xbox 360 trouble router randomly resetting PLEASE HELP

    For Christmas 2009, I received the wrt160n v3 Linksys by Cisco router. This router worked fine until about early November of 2010, when I would turn on my xbox to play a multiplayer game, and the router would randomly reset and i would lose my connection, as well as all the computers connected to the router would lose their connection to the internet. I actually sent that one back to linksys through an rma and received a new one of the same model and version, and I am still having the same problem. The router even resets when I am not on my xbox, simply just on my laptop. It is incredibly frustrating and cannot seem to find any help on the internet. Does anyone else have this problem? Are there any solutions? Is it my router or could it be my xbox screwing everything up? Any help is welcome, thank you very much

    nevermind my router just reset while playing xbox. mtu is 1365, i unchecked that box, and opened my nat type, and it still reset. im starting to get extremely dissatisfied with your products

  • Problem connecting to internet with linksys router after internet network password reset

    I do not know the model number of the wireless linksys router offhand, but it is one known to have a bug regarding connecting the internet. Others have solved the problem by buying another model number, but the person who owns it does not want to buy a new one since he does not know how to use any other one.
    What happened is our phone company (also the internet provider) was having technical problems so there no internet connection. Then, my computer opened with internet page to reset password to connect.
    Although I am able to get a connection on my wireless laptop, this other person in house is unable to connect to wired computer through linksys.

    Hi. WUSB300N is actually a wireless usb n adapter. A wireless receiver not a wireless access point or a router. You may want to check if you have a wireless Linksys or Cisco router there.

  • HELP!!!  iPhone randomly reset and now it won't detect SIM card?

    Ok so here's what I was doing when this all happened.
    I had called the Linksys support for a new router I just bought that wasn't working right. After waiting about 8 mins I was connected to a gentlmen in India, we worked on my problem for about 10mins or so and then all of sudden my phone just reset, or at least went to the apple logo and just sat there.
    then after 30 seconds it started ringing (before it fully restarted) and it was the tech gentlemen call me back. So I slide the thing to answer and the screen froze with the slider on the right but not unlocked but I could see the time and my back ground, just no buttons and I could still hear him and talk to him.
    After we fix my problem with the router he hung up, but my phone was still froze and then it started ringing (a friend had tried to call me before it reset while I was on the phone so I assume it was him again). I couldn't answer and it just kept ringing and ringing so I held the wake button and slide the red slider to shut it off.
    Left it off for 30 seconds or so then press and held it again to turn it on. Now it says restore need, connect to itunes!
    ok, so I did and after wait about 30sec to a minute after connecting it to itunes it comes up with this error:
    *"iTunes cannot activate your iPhone because the SIM card is not inserted or a SIM PIN is required. Disconnect your iPhone, make sure the SIM card is inserted correctly and, if you use a SIM PIN, tap Unlock to enter it, and then reconnect your iPhone."*
    What the heck?! I've had it randomly reset once before about a month and a half ago and which point I did have to restore, and it did and it worked fine after that.
    The SIM card IS in there, and I have no idea what my SIM PIN would be, nor do I see the option for it they speak of! And this happened about 9:30pm, well after any Apple or AT&T stores are closed! I even turned off the phone, took the SIM card out and put it back and it still did the same thing!
    What would cause this to randomly just mess-up like this? I loved this phone when I got it but now that this is the 2nd time this has happened and much worse I'm pretty ticked about it. And it's not like I hacked it or unlocked it or whatever that is even called, the only things I've put on my iphone are music, pictures, and programs I all got thru itunes!
    PLEASE HELP!

    Hi Guys,
    I'm writing this from the UK. Got an iPhone 3G bought a few weeks ago and activated (no jailbreak or other stuff)it. It worked fine but last night it gave the same error as originally reported in this thread.
    Went into the O2 store (this is the provider selling iPhones in the UK) and they told me is the SIM card. Got a new one but still the same...
    There is something going on here because I've seen lots of claims with the exact same description. Its almost like there is a bug in the software that gets activated on the 3rd of January.
    Will go tomorrow again and ask for a new phone.

  • Help! Have a Linksys Router WRVS4400N, Ipad and Desktop doesn't get internet at same time. Just one of the other. How do I internet on both? Thx!

    HELP! How do I get wireless internet on both my Ipad and Desktop? Have Linksys Router WRVS4400N. Only 1 device will work at 1 time. Something about a Learn MAC address? What should I do? Thanks! Tiggergirl

    Good morning
    Hi Kathy,  my name is Johnnatan and I am part of the Small business Support community.
    If you have an old firmware it would be a good idea to go out to Cisco.com and see if there is any firmware updates. I have looked on the site for you and I see the latest firmware is:2.0.2.1
    http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/release.html?mdfid=282414016&softwareid=282487380&release=2.0.1.3&rellifecycle=&relind=AVAILABLE&reltype=all
    You can also try to reset your device to its factory settings, to reset your router please take a object that has a point and hold the reset button in on the back for "atleast" 30 seconds until the lights on the front to start flashing.
    About Mac address, you can map a Static IP with a specific mac address, You can folllow these steps in order to configure it.

  • I'm Able to connect AE to Linksys Router: Some tTps

    OK:
    For several weeks (off & on) I have been trying to connect my Airport Express to my Linksys WRT54G wireless router network, but have run into several recurring bottlenecks. Well, I feel that I have busted through the dam yesterday, based on some feedback from folks, along with a lot of trial and error. Below, I address a couple of problems that keep recurring in this forum.
    *Problem 1:*
    My AE in no longer seen on my network.
    Solution:
    My AE should have its own Apple ad-hoc network, if all I have powered-on is my laptop, the AE and a set of powered speakers that the AE will stream music to.
    The AE's ad-hoc network should show up in your system tray's connection window
    with a name similar to "Apple Network XXXXXX" , where XXXXXX represent the AE's 6-rightmost hex digits of its 12-digit hex MAC (Media Access Control) address.
    Last week, I did a complete factory reset on the AE. Yesterday, when I tried to have the laptop generate an ad-hoc network, it couldn't: it kept trying to attach to a prior network that I had created with my router (which by the way, is currently turned off), but couldn't find it. I did several more factory resets, with no luck. The AE would not generate the ad-hoc network ! I tried both, with and without an Ethernet cable running from the AE to the laptop.
    Frustrated, I took a gamble and did an "intermediate" reset of the AE.
    Note: The AE is wired to the laptop, plugged in, with stereo speakers connected and turned-on. Using a paper clip, I pressed-in the AE's reset button, and held it for ~10 seconds. It worked I could now see my "Apple Network XXXXXX" ad-hoc connection listed in my system tray's list of networks to connect to.
    Now that I had the ad-hoc network for the AE, the question was to figure out how to add this device (the AE) to the Linksys router's wireless network.
    *Problem 2:*
    I'm unable to add the AE to my existing Linksys wireless network.
    Solution:
    I turned on the cable modem and the Linksys router, and let them boot.
    At this point , I have the AE hardwired to the router via Ethernet cable.
    I opened the Linksys Easy Setup (or similar name) Help tool to view what the Linksys tool could see. It saw that the laptop was connected to the router, but not the AE. Initially, the laptop was connected via Ethernet cable to the router, but I then made that a wireless connection withe the Easy Setup.
    I opened Airport Utility and proceeded to configure the network for AE, via a Manual setup. Airport Utility was able to see my ad-hoc network and saw the AE, with its name "Apple Network XXXXXX".
    I wanted to have the AE join my existing 64/40-bit WEP wireless network.
    I had followed all of the prior advice but with no luck.
    Here's the kicker:
    On one of the the Airport Utility tabs:
    You want to select to "Join A Wireless Network".
    On the tab that has the checkboxes , check your settings:
    "Remember this password in my keychain" (Optional, I have it checked)
    "Set time automatically" (unchecked)
    "Advertise configuration globally using Bonjour" (unchecked)
    If you have the "time" and/or "Bonjour" checkboxes checked, you will get a different set of network connection types to select from under the Wireless tab, and the typical WEP settings (WEP 60/40) won't be among the choices
    This is where I was having problems. If you use the above checkbox settings,
    you WILL get the WEP 40 in the drop-down menu to choose from under the Wireless tab. Make sure that the password/encryption key that you use for is the same that your used for when setting-up your wireless router. You do not have to precede it with a $ sign. (Example: when you setup your WEP-40/64 connection with your router, you had to use a 10-hex digit encryption key, or provide a 5 ASCII character Passcode that would be converted into a 10-digit hex encryption key. My advice: Forget about the PassCode...just type in a 10-hex-digit key into the Key 1 slot in the router setup, and USE THIS SAME KEY in Airport Utility. It will be 10 hex digits long, where hex-digits are 0-9, and A-F.
    Finish the setup, and once Airport Utility reconfigures, you will get the solid green LED on the AE. At this point disconnect the Ethernet cable.
    Now, open your router's setup program and check the network. You should now see the AE on the same network as your router and laptop, wirelessly !
    Open iTunes. In the lower-right corner, you should see a dropdown menu from which you may select speakers. Select your speakers by the name you gave them.
    Click on any tune that you have in iTunes, and click the Play button. You should now be able to hear the tune playing out of your speakers, wirelessly !
    You are no longer using the ad-hoc network. You now have the AE connected to same same wireless network that your laptop is on, via the wireless router.
    Music is playing from iTunes (via AirTunes) on your laptop, though the router to the AE, to the speakers, wirelessly !

    you don't mention which products you use
    only ipad2 and up support mirror
    and only iphone4s and up support mirror
    other devices only use airplay for apps which support tvout options

  • 17" mbp no longer sees a 802.11a Linksys router...

    I have one of the early 17" MBP. It used to work with a old 802.11a (Linksys) router. Lately it doesn't see the router at all. I've reset the router and another Windows machine can see it fine. I didn't do anything funny other than apply patches and firmware upgrades. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks
    Macbook Pro 17"   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Maybe its helpful you to know that the 802.11a standard wasn't totally supported by Apple at the begining (read http://www.appleinsider.com/article.php?id=1465) so probably those patches did change something.
    Have you tried different frequencies on the router?

  • Linksys router no longer works with Westell 6100 modem

    Hi all,
    I came back after a 3 month work absence (and many days power outages, according to the neighbors), to find that my system can no longer connect to the internet using the Verizon Westell 6100 modem to a Linksys wrt54G router to 2 PCs!
    I reset the Westell modem and directly connected the PC to it and THAT works okay, but put the router back in the mix (so I can connect my other PC) and nothing works!
    I have read on this forum about 'Bridgeing" the Westell modem but nothing about setting up the router.
    Can someone PLEASE give me explicit instructions on how to:
        1.)  set up the Westell modem in this "Bridge" mode,
        2.)  Set up the Linksys router to work with the modem again??
        3.)  Tell me why the old setup no longer works, did verizon change something for this modem?
    Thank you VERY much for your help in this matter!
    SUE  ;>)

    the router has two connections.  one is called a WAN and that is a wide area network, and it means the internet in your case.  and one is called a LAN, local area network.  
    what you saw means - that the way you connect to your internet is through PPPoE, a username and a password. 
    and then way your LAN connects is DHCP,  how all of your local computers connect.  This is important, because after you bridge the westell, you will be setting your Linksys up for PPPoE connection, and NOT DHCP.      if you don't do this step, then you will never connect.  
    that is fine, and normal.  if you follow the instructions at the link provided - you will be able to connect real easily.   
    you will want to bridge the westell just follow the instructions for "If your Westell uses the red and black Verizon firmware:"

  • Can't connect LINKSYS router to DSL modem

    I'm trying to set up a WRT54GS2 Linksys router with a D-Link DSL-2320b modem.  Have a Westell 6100 modem that is going bad, so I bought the D-Link to replace it. Originally had a D-Link router connected with the Westell, but the router overheats often and has to be reset.
    I have been able to connect to the internet using the DSL-2320b modem only, but once I add the Linksys router I am not able to connect to the modem. The Linksys router came from a cable modem connection for which it worked fine.  I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that they both use the same IP, 192.168.1.1.  I have tried changing the IP of the modem, but still having issues.
    Any help will greatly be appreciated.  I'm still able to use my old setup to connect to the internet now, but the Westell shut down my phone line today and had to be turned off and back on.  I'm hoping to be able to replace this as soon as possible.   Thanks in advance...

    Connect the Mode to the router on the Internet port and the computer to the router on the Ethernet port..If the IP address of the Modem is 192.168.1.x then,change the ip address of the linksys router to 192.168.2.1 and power cycle the entire network and check...

  • Connecting Ipod Touch to Home Network via Linksys Router

    After hours of frustrating attempts and able assistance from Apple product specialists and Linksys agents the issue was finally resolved inadvertently. Here's the solution for anyone having trouble:
    1. Perform a hard reset on the router - holding tiny red button next to the power cable in for 30 seconds.
    2. Perform a soft reset on the router - unplug the power cable for 30 seconds.
    3. Reset your cable modem.
    4. After rebooting everything, go to your router pages on the web. Re-establish your network settings. Make sure the Wireless Mac Filter setting is disabled. That worked for us. Hope it will save others the time and trouble we experienced.

    Thanks for posting your resolution.
    I would also like to mention that Linksys router owners should always update their router firmware to the latest version when encountering connection issues.

  • Verizon DSL, Westell 6100 Modem and Linksys router

    If anyone is having a hard time getting these three to work together to get on-line, I know your pain. I've spent the better part of two days trying to get these devices to talk to each other. After hours spent trying different combinations and little to no help from Verizon and Linksys I have finally gotten my DSL up and running through my Linksys router. I post this in hopes that someone doesn't spin their wheels like I have been doing over the past few days. Here's what I did to get them to work:
    1. Reset both the Linksys router and the Westell modem
    2. Unplug the router and the modem
    3. Connect an ethernet cable from your Apple to the Westell modem and power it back on
    4. Type 192.168.1.1 in the address bar of your browser of choice. The username should be "admin" (w/o the quotes) and password should be "password" (again no quotes)
    5. It will ask you to update your username and password
    6. Under the CONFIGURATION heading select VC CONFIGURATION and click on EDIT
    7. Make sure that both PROTOCOL and MODE are set to BRIDGE
    8. Click on SET VC and then click OK when asked if you want to reset for new configuration to take affect
    9. Once again power off the modem for about a minute then power it back up
    10. Login again with the login you created above and go to the STATUS/ABOUT column and write down the MAC address
    11. Set it to DHCP OFF and change the Private Lan Modem IP to 192.168.2.1. Write this down and keep it so you can access your modem in the future.
    12. Save the settings. You will lose communication with the Westell at this point. Once again, power down the modem for about a minute.
    13. Connect the ethernet cable from the modem into the Internet port on the Linksys router and then connect your Apple to the first ethernet spot
    14. Turn on both the Linksys router and the Westell modem
    15. With your browser (Safari or Firefox) type in 192.168.1.1. Under SETUP go to MAC ADDRESS CLONE and enter the MAC address you wrote down for your Westell modem earlier and then save the settings
    16. Make sure you are in DHCP mode and not PPPoE
    17. Save, exit, and you should be on-line
    That was a lot more difficult than it had to be. I certainly didn't get this from the support folks from Linksys or Verizon...a lot of trial and error and investigating on-line. I hope this saves you from the headaches I experienced.

    Feedback for Linksys:
    In the Linksys Help system "Easy Answers" there's the question "How can I set up a Linksys router with DSL Internet?" This is what I used to try and solve my Internet connection problem.
    The Answer says "Most DSL providers use Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) ..." and goes on to explain how to set up the router for PPPoE. However, my service (AT&T/Yahoo high speed internet) uses DHCP. That meant I spent several frustrating hours trying to get it to work with PPPoE.
    The Answer would have been better if it first explained how to tell if you have PPPoE or DHCP (see the reply from vness above, it's an excellent explanation), and then linked to the appropriate setup instructions.
    Thanks for the help!!!!

  • Airport Extreme, Linksys Router WRT54G: Internet is Impossibly Slow

    I have a problem regarding wireless internet activity on my Powerbook G4. In my house, I have a Linksys Router (WRT54G) that has worked fine for other laptops (including an iBook running Airport Extreme, a Powerbook G4 running Airport, and an iMac running Airport) for many years. When I got a refurbished Powerbook G4 1.67 GHz with Airport Extreme, I found that while Airport could be configured to recognize the wireless network (with a WEP 40/128-bit encrypted key), it barely works on the computer. The signal strength is strong (the laptop is hooked up right above the Linksys router), but the Internet barely works at all. Surfing to webpages takes 10-20-30 sec to work, and often the connection seems to drop off all together. Something is clearly wrong because despite the fact that this is my fastest computer with the fastest wireless capability, it runs at a slower pace than any computer I have ever used on the web.
    I was wondering if anyone has had similar problems with getting Wireless Extreme on Powerbook G4s to work with this particular (and older) model of Linksys wireless browser (WRT54G). Some Internet sleuthing led me to believe that perhaps the router firmware needs to be updated or something like that, but I haven't really found any definitive answers. If there is anything wrong on the laptop-OS-side, I have no idea. I would appreciate any pointers that you can provide!
    Thank you to all,

    Hi all,
    Thank you for your help. Unfortunately, my problems persist.
    I was able to reset my router and to configure it again on the web-based router configuration.
    As per your suggestion, I tried switching the Wireless Network Mode to "G-only." Not only did this kick off my older computers on the network (an old iMac and an older Powerbook G4, both with normal airport), but it did not fix the speed problems on the new Powerbook G4/with Airport Extreme. I am back on the mixed setting now in order to get most of the computers on the network back to their old working states...
    I also tried disabling my WEP encrypted key but found that this did not speed anything up at all.
    I have upgraded my firmware from its previous version, v 1.41.2 (very old!), to the latest from the Linksys website: v 4.30.5. This has not helped at all either.
    Is it possible that there is any setting on the Powerbook/Airport Extreme itself that is causing these problems?
