RE1000 Connection dropped and SSID visible

Hi to all, I've two big problem with the extender in object, the first one is the wifi connection dropped, tested with 2 mac and 2 iphone, this is very boring because every 2-3 the devices are offline. The second problem is that I can't hide the SSID while with my router I can. What should I do?
Some specs.
Router: Linksys/Cisco X2000
wifi: mode = mixed
channel amp = Auto (20 o 40 MHz)
channel = standard
SSID tranmission = hide
protection mode = WPA2 Personal
firmware v = 2.0.01
Extender: RE1000
Automatic configuration DHCP
Wifi = manual
firmware v = 1.0.02

To resolve intermittent wireless connection, you need to perform the following:
i. Reducing Wireless Interference
ii. Customizing Wireless Settings of the ADSL Gateway
iii. Checking the Placement of the ADSL gateway
Here is the link for solving the problem if the connection is dropping: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=95fb621ead264dda8c438f655f710630_4261.xml&pid=80&r...
Second, there is no such feature in RE1000 which can disable the broadcast of the SSID.

BT Wi-Fi connection drops and cannot be closed

I use BT Wi-Fi on a monthly subscription - 500 minutes for £6 a month, plus 12p a minute for any extra minutes.
Occasionally my connection drops, and I have to reconnect and login again, which I can do OK.
But when I check later how many minutes I used, via my online subscription info, it's clear that I end up with two connections running in parallel. The connection which dropped carries on as active in the background somewhere until it is eventually auto-disconnected (after 15 or 20 minutes ?) due to inactivity. So I lose those minutes each time this happens.
There is no way to close the dropped connection. Even if I log out of my new 2nd connection, it only closes that one, not the dropped one which I can't access.
Today this happened when I was at the end of my monthly allowance, so because I couldn't close the connection I've now gone around 30 minutes over my allowance, which will cost me £3.60.
Please can we have a way of closing all connections on a BT Wi-Fi account, to deal with this issue.
And a refund would be good, as I had no way of preventing my account going into the 12p a minute rate.

Wireless connection drops and doesn't reconnect (netcfg, wpa_actiond)

I use netcfg 2.5.4-1 and wpa_actiond 1.1-1, B43 driver (BCM4318 wireless card) with firmware.
$ uname -a
Linux vekta 2.6.32-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Mar 15 20:08:25 UTC 2010 i686 Mobile AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3100+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
Connecting works fine. I can connect using sudo netcfg <profile>, or it automatically connects me on startup.
However, after a few minutes (up to 15 at best, usually 3-5) the connection is dropped. dmesg prints:
"No probe response from AP <macaddress> after 500ms, disconnecting."
However, netcfg isn't notified of this event, and still thinks the profile is connected. So I have to use netcfg -r <profile> to reconnect. Isn't netcfg supposed to notice this connection drop and try to reconnect again automatically?
Also, is there any way to increase the 500ms threshold mentioned in the log? I don't think I ever had this problem when I first installed arch in november/december last year.
Thank you.

Hey,

Ongoing Broadband connection drops and slow speed ...

Over the last few weeks i seem to be having random issues with my Broadband connection and teh connection has become very unstable and unreliable
The connection will randomly drop and re-establish, often at a much lower speed that it should be. I regularly get around 3 - 4MB download speed which is good for my area but often find that when it reconnections i get around 1MB. To resolve the issue i usually have to restart my hub (BT HH2) which then usually gets me back to the normal speed.
Luckily I do have a SamKnows box which shows this issue in a graphical form. Note how unstable the connection and speed seems to be! Surely it is not be like this?

All line tests i have done come back clean and there is no noise on the line.
Any ideas please?

ok so i plugged my HH2 in to the test socket as suggested and today have found the connection to be more unstable than usual.... So around 45 minutes ago the connection drops and re-establishes and i get the below results:

To me this is suggesting a problem with the line/BB connection, would this assumption be correct?

Connection drops and other problems

I've given up with getting any sense from the Indian call centres so hoping for some enlightenment here!
I've had the unlimited total broadband package since April 2010 and have had trouble-free usage right up to about a month ago. Now the service is just awful and I'm getting the following problems:
Broadband connection drops sporadically. Some days it'll be fine and stable, but others it's flakey - for instance it's dropped 3 times today already. Sometimes I'll get an orange light on the BT hub, but at other times it's showing all blue, although the connection has gone. Sometimes resetting the hub fixes it for awhile and sometimes it doesn't and connection comes back all on its own. Today I've had to reset the hub twice already!
At times I'll have a connection, but only to certain types of traffic. For instance I find that I can quite often do peer-to-peer stuff such as instant message, but all web browsing times out.
Speeds bounce around all over the place. I'm in a rural area so speeds have never been stellar, but at times it'll suddenly start crawling and can take 10-15 seconds to load a simple page like google.co.uk
The biggest issue I have is that my local exchange has BT wholesale as the sole provider, so even if I move ISPs it'll still be the same service, but I'll just have a middle man to deal with. It's particularly frustrating as I work from home and my office is hundreds of miles away so I absolutely rely on a good broadband connection for my living!
Does anyone have any ideas on what these issues could be? Much thanks in advance.

WRT54GL Connection drops and freezes

Hi,
I just recently purchased WRT54GL and I've been having an issue with it. Whenever I'm downloading (both regular download and progress download on you tube for e.g.), and I'm not browsing or active with internet explorer, it drops the connection, even worse, it freezes (idle) for sometime and back in a very low speed. Sometimes it doesn't come back up until I open an IE. It causes the downloads to fail every single time! I opened the Local Area Connection and i guessed it right, it does drop and stop so very often.
I tricked it with going "forward" and "back" on my IE to browse between two websites just to keep the connection "alive" so that the download doesn't get disconnected. I checked connecting my modem directly to the computer without the router and it worked great.
I have Comcast and Vonage connection.
if someone could help, I would very much appreciate it.
Thanks all, :-)

Your router needs to be Upgraded, Download the Firmware from here ,
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device: -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...Check if this works for you...

Connection drops and change of IP address

Hi guys,
I've been having trouble with my broadband for some time. There is no issue with the speed, but my connection often drops, and as you can imagine this can be very annoying whilst gaming! There's nothing more annoying than being disconnected from a game of fifa (especially when winning!).
These connection drops happen almost every time the phone rings, and at other times seem completely random. Sometimes the phone will ring and the internet will not disconnect but most of the time it will. I've contacted BT and they advised me to change the filters, which I did with no result. So I contacted them again and they have arranged for a new router to be sent out.
Also I have noticed that my IP address changes every time I am disconnected, which causes problems with games which recognize the device you are playing on (namely RS and Gwars 2). This means I have to go into my email to verify my login every time I get a disconnect :/
So is there anything that I might be doing wrong on my end? Is there any way I can fix this?

Thanks here's the info

Actiontec Mi424WR Rev. I versus Rev. D -- range and connection drops and speed

Hello. I'm trying to figure out why the Rev. I is so much worse than the Rev. D for range and maintaining persistent connections at 30'+ in my home (two-story, single family). I have two smart phones, one tablet and a Blu-ray player, all 802.11n capable. I used the Rev. D for a few years with not many Internet problems overall (wired or wireless). I recently I got two Rev. I routers -the first was replaced after malfunctioning and overheating- but they both exhibited the same range problem. The Rev. D can usually keep a connection to the far reaches of my home - an upstairs bathroom about 60' away (straight line) through four obstructions (walls and floor). In that bathroom the speed test was slow of course (~1.8 Mbps) but the connection persisted for several minutes without dropping and reconnecting to the router even once. But the Rev. I could not keep a consistent connection to the tablet in the kitchen at only 40' away through only 2 walls (around two bends). So I had to move the tablet a little closer within the kitchen - 30' away to stream video consistently well. On my cell phone at 30' away I had to turn off the auto network switch to 4G just to keep a persistent connection to the Rev. I. With the Rev. D I never had any dropped connection anywhere in the kitchen on the tablet or the phones. Here's what I've learned so far in my own tests and reading other people's experiences here and elsewhere on the web. Any additional insight would be helpful. -- I have read that the signal strength of the Rev. I was reduced for security concerns. I can verify with a Wi-Fi scanner app on my phone that the signal strength is about 2-3dB less (about half as strong) for the Rev. I starting at about 25' away. That shouldn't necessarily cause the connection to the Rev. I router to drop and reconnect so often after 40' of distance. Any ideas why the connection drops so easily and often? The signal strength at 0 distance (the antenna touching the phone) was about identical for both revisions. -- I have read that the Rev. I wireless mode should be in either performance (n only) or mixed (b/g/n) to maintain better connections but either setting made little difference. I have always kept the Rev. D router in mixed mode (b/g). From the antenna signal strength test above, I discovered only one antenna on the Rev. I router sends a signal so I doesn't seem like there is any beamforming being done in performance (n only) mode which is disappointing. Any idea why beamforming is not enabled? Is the second antenna even used on the Rev. I? -- I have read that the antennas are too small on the Rev. I and a bigger antenna will help. That part I know is false especially if the longer antenna's impedance doesn't match the router's antenna port. The "ideal" antenna length at 2.4GHz is about 2.5 inches and the Rev. I antenna looks that long. It seems inside the Rev. D antenna is a cable or some waveguide (the thicker, bottom 5" of the antenna) which might help reduce interference by moving the actual antenna portion of the Rev. D away from the router housing, the power cable and the data cables. -- Sitting 10 feet away from the router, I didn't notice any difference on speed tests. It was topping out at about 15-18Mbps for either router revision. So the whole point of having an 802.11n router for faster speed is moot. And at greater distances (40'+) I can't get a reliable connection so the Rev. D wins by default. If anyone has any ideas to make the Rev. I better I would like to try them. Verizon didn't want the Rev. D router back so I have both revisions to use. Thanks!

I finally got the Quantum Gateway router (FiOS-G1100 rev 1.03 firmware 0.17.52) and it works great on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. In most areas of my home and on both bands I tested about 42 Mbps up/down using the Ookla speedtest app (my internet speed is 50/50 Mbps and I test about 58 Mbps using a wired connection). Previously with the Rev. D I was getting about 18 Mbps up/down in most areas of my home. In the farthest place in my home from the router (an upstairs bathroom) I get 22 Mbps up and 42 down which is impressive considering I was only getting 2Mbps with the Rev. D. The Quantum router has a similar signal strength profile as the old Rev D - about -18 dBm right near the router and about -70dBm to -80 dBm in the bathroom furthest from the router (55 feet straight line that goes up one floor and through three walls). I used the Wifi Analyzer app to see the signal strength. Not many of my neighbors have 5 GHz routers so there are still lots of free channels up there. I also noticed the Quantum router has a power setting so the power can be turned down if someone is in an apartment or condo. But for me the lots in my neighborhood are 1/2 acre so I'll leave the power setting at 100%. I like having good speed in the far reaches of my home without using a repeater or extender.

Server connection: drops and disk errors

Currently, I'm the only workstation using a Mac Pro (the rest are G5s), and my connection to our art server (running Win 2003) constantly drops, whereas the G5s stay connected just fine. Also, today this same server started giving me code -41 disk error messages; I can't save or re-write anything onto the server, even though there's a good 20GB of storage available.

John,
We lost the connection earlier this evening, and even though the lights were all still on on the Router, the only way to regain our connection seemed to be turning the router off and on (we did this at the plug, i'm not sure this is what we're meant to do!).
Are the events in my event log worrying at all? I'm scared by them!

Last night, WiFi connection dropped and now it's a nightmare...

Last night, my iPad2 suddenly became unable to detect the router form more than about six feet away. It's been working fine since it was purchased just before Christmas, however now, even sitting in the same room about three feet away, it drops from two bars to one, and I need to hold the iPad virtually on top of the router to get it to pick it up.
At home, I reset the router, updated the firmware, I've playeed with the router's channels, modes, name, every suggestion I could find online. I reset the iPad, updated it, hard reset.
I took it to the Apple store today, and it connected to their WiFi with no problems, full signal. I'm guessing, however, they don't use the average type of router you'd find in a normal household in their cavernous stores. As they could detect no issues with it, I was sent away, no better off.
It's still under warranty - it's barely four months old - and I'm at my wits end already. I've spent all day online (via my laptop!) and read endless forums about users with sinmilar issues, however I've been happily using the iPad since purchase without issue. Any suggesitons welcome; my ideal outcome? I'd quite like it replaced to be honest, but Apple won't be willing to do it obviously if they can't replicate the problem.
In my opinion, it's an issue with the antenna - I've had this issue with a wireless card in a laptop many years ago, whereby a signal was possible, but severely diminished. I may be wrong, of course, but it's very frustrating, and a strange thing to happen out of the blue.

It's a Netgear VDMG280 (crap router supplied by Virgin)
2.4
I've restarted the iPad constantly, with every change to the router's settings; nothing seems to be helping.
I have the usual types of kit in the house, two laptops,an xbox, a ps3, and they are all connecting fine. It literally happened last night - sitting watching the ITVplayer in the other room, and the signal disappeared and couldn't pick it up again.
I presently have one bar sitting about three feet away, directly in front of the router. Asbolutely furious about it, and if it's the result of an update, I don't really feel it's fit for purpose and I'd like to think I'm well within my rights to request a replacement for it - but I'd rather just sort it myself, frankly.
It's very disappointing, to be sitting here with a £400 Angry Birds player.

Macbook airport connection drops and locks my computer

So... I think my problem tops them all. Ive done alot of searching and ive found no topic relative to mine.
- My intel macbook has an airport extreme that can succesfully connect to my schools network or my girlfriends network or my network at home. However...
Many times a day... as soon as i make my connection active by going on a web browser.
My Airport drops connection and locks my computer... only the mouse is avaliable, but
anything else i try to click.. i end up with the spinning beach ball. Only solution i can find
thus far is to force shutdown my computer and restart... Now i cant do a PRAM reset or
start up in safe mode. I dont know how to solve this...
Can anyone help me with this? It is incredibly annoying as i have to force shutdown my computer over 6 times a day which is... bad ... for my computer. More bad clusters.
Thanks much ... G

My problem is a variation on yours.
I don't lose the airport connection at all. I can connect to my Airport Extreme base station and surf the Internet without a any hassle. I can see the other computers connected to said AEBS. Network drives are mountable.
HOWEVER, as soon as I start to transfer a file or folder from or to a mounted network drive, the transfer hangs. The only solution is to power-off Airport to get the Mac to acknowledge losing connection to the network drive. Otherwise I would continue to stare enlessly at a frozen progress bar.
Hopefully 10.5.2 will address the issue.

DSL connection drops and Support has no tech knowledge

I've been having connection issues for a long time (at LEAST since December)
The issue I'm having is that every hour or so speed drops to unusable (it takes several minutes to load a simple page). If I reboot the router - internet disappears completely ("internet" light is off, but DSL is on). If I reboot the router again, the internet is back on and the speed slow but usable (at least I can open Google in less than 10 minutes), but it drops again after about an hour, so I have to repeat the process again.
Support's favorite speedtest.net is either not loading at all due to slow speed, or in rare cases when I can break through the loading screen, shows me adequate speed, even if it just took me 5 minutes to load the speedtest.net page itself!
I contacted verizon support FOUR times by now.
First time the agent told me to replace my DSL cable, but that didn't help.
Second time I got disconnected from chat due to "connectivity issues" while I was talking about those exact issues.
Third time the agent told me that he's "testing my connection" and disappeared for 15 minutes, and when I asked him if he needed any additional information, he said that he's still "testing" and disappeared for 15 minutes again, and then the chat closed due to inactivity (rude...)
Fourth time the agent had a screen-sharing session with me, during which he deleted Internet Explorer browser history and ran a bunch of online speedtests, after which he concluded that the problem was resolved.
This shows me that the agents just mindlessly follow the algorithm given to them without assessing the problem, and have no technical knowledge whatsoever.
First, I JUST TOLD the agent that my low speed isn't constant, but drops about every hour. So how running a speedtest at one particular moment proves that there's no connection problem?
Second, I don't even use internet explorer (which the agent should've realized when I shared my screen because Google Chrome was open), so what is the point of deleting browsing history of a browser I don't even use?
And third, most importantly, how on Earth deleting browsing history from one browser can fix a problem that requires REBOOTING THE ROUTER TWO TIMES?!

Exact same issues here and with others I know! Verizon spits on us and says your bill is due!! We are trapped with no way out because Comcast is just as bad....

Connection drops and then very slow speeds.

I don't know what's caused this. My broadband has been stable at 7Mb/s downstream for about 6 months now. But a few days ago my connection kept dropping randomly. Now it's stabilised but my speed is way down.

I've done all the usual things with wiring everything up, changing filters and using the connection behind the faceplate. I've tried to run the test at speedtester.bt.com but I just get an error whenever I try. When I run the test at speedtest.net I get-
Ping: 44ms
Download 1.22Mbps
Upload 0.37Mbps
which is quite a bit slower than what the router says, but it feels even slower than that.
I'm not sure if this just needs a reset at the other end because of all the disconnections or if I've got a real problem but an help would be appriciated.

I finally got speedtester to work. I says the maximum my line can handle is 2000kbps but I used to get 7000. Does this look like a problem with the line?

HH5a connection drops and firmware version

Hi there
I, too experience connection dropouts almost every day. I read the sticky post above regarding updates that went out in February.
When I check my hub it says below:
2. Serial number:
+068343+NQ35108589
3. Firmware version:
Software version 4.7.5.1.83.8.204 (Type A) Last updated 16/01/15
So thats January when it last updated?
If I reset it to factory defaults will it bring down the latest firmware?
My other settings are below:
4. Board version:
BT Hub 5A
5. DSL uptime:
0 days, 11:37:29
6. Data rate:

Strangely I dont have a handset but I borrowed an RS Dual Standard Test Set off a mate - it looks like Dom Jollys mobile...
Anyway, I tried it and did the quiet line test. There is no crackling or "noise" like that. There is a slight hum or buzz - its quiet but noticable.
The setup I have is as follows: The line comes into the house and staight to the wall socket Im using. Im assuming that makes it the master and its not connected to any other extensions or sockets in the house. The wall socket has 2 connections on the faceplate - an RJ11 which the hub plugs into and also a normal landline connector in which I plugged the RS test handset.
I have tried it with both the Hub plugged in and also not plugged in. No difference. I also tried a microfilter in the phone socket but I dont think I need that as the faceplate has both connectors so Im assuming it has a microfilter built in yea? It made the buzz a little worse actually
So as its been a long time since I used a landline, is the little "buzz" normal? Or should a quiet test be absolutely silent?
thanks again

Wrt54gs router to internet cable modem connection drop

With the wrt54gs router set at auto dhcp and mostly on default settings, after some time of inactivity the connection between the router and internet cable modem drops out. That is, when there is no activity (no transmission to/from internet) the connection drops and the wireless connections shows "local only." Any suggestions/comments on why this is so? Thanks!

Have you tried to connect the Modem to the computer and checked if you are facing the same problem or not?
On your Router setup page, change the MTU size from AUTO to Manual and change the Size from 1500 to 1350 and click on Save Settings..... Then click on the Wireless tab and below Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Click on the sub tab under Wireless "Advanced Wireless Settings"
Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...
