RV042 wan2 shows red light on internet connection

I set up my RV042 with two ISPs, one charter internet and the other AT&T
DSL. My DSL modem all of a sudden shows a red light over the "internet" slot
showing that it's not working. When I remove the modem and hook up to a PC, it works fine. When I put back into WAN2 slot, the red light comes back on. I have it set up to find IP connection automatically. It has been working for a day or so, but now this crops up. I check with ATT support and they verfiy the modem is okay and getting a signal when I connect to PC.

AFter I posted the problem, my DSL modem just started its normal green light and never (almost never) went red again. The big problem is that when my cable modem went down for repair to cable, my Internet went down also. I wanted the dual wan router to make sure that when I was online that if one ISP went down I would have an automatic back up. I also wanted bonding or binding where with two ISP's I would get a combination of speeds to one large speed, but obviously the RV042 does not bond to an aggregate speed. I saw in your reply that you mentioned PPPoE setup. My DSL is set up along with the cable modem to "automatically obtain the IP address." Is this the wrong setup?

Audio jack showing red light indicator

audio jack was showing red light when i was installing windows first time via boot camp ... !

Try System Preferences>Flash>Advanced tab>Delete All...
My wife's 2011 mbp had the same problem:
no sound from speakers,
sound okay in headphones,
red light on in jack,
slow computer.
She plays MANY different FLASH online games in Firefox. I searched everywhere and found the same advice as you all did ref toothpick in headphone jack, etc. Nothing worked.
Today, I googled "firefox" "problem" and "sound". I found "Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems". I stopped reading at this point and decided to check out the status of her Flash settings. I opened System Preferences > Flash and explored the different tabs and options on my mbp compared to hers and noticed a LOT more "websites" in her Storage and Camera & Mic tabs. I went to her Advanced tab and selected Delete All... . It took over a minute to clear all her "websites". I did a reboot and was shocked, surprised, relieved that her mbp speakers were spewing sounds again! Problem solved! Her computer is now faster as well.
Short story:
System Preferences>Flash>Advanced tab>Delete All...
Hope it works for you, too.

My ipod shuffle 4gen wont turn on it shows red light then it goe

my ipod shuffle 4gen wont turn on it shows red light for 5 sec then it goes when i try charging it . what can be done to solve the problem

what do i do?

Have a MacBook. Shows I have an internet connection, but cannot get on. I do have connection with my other computer???

I've looked at the IP adress, and it started with 169.
This means you aren't actually connected to the Internet; only to your router.
An easy first attempt at a fix is to turn your router off and then on again.

Airport express showing green but no internet connection

I have a new airport express (2013) connected to a motorola canopy point to multipoint wireless broadband system.
The express is in bridge mode and is using 8.8.4.4 and 208.67.222.222 as the DNS servers.
The aiport is showing a green light consistetly. However, the internet connection of devices on the network drops intermittently. Airport utility shows a yellow indicator and "disconnected".
Sometime the connection reappears quickly. Other times a restart in necessary.
It does not happen simulatnaesouly for every device. Some can have a connection while others do not. As I write this, my MB Air has an internet connection but my iPhone does not.
Fixes I have tried:
Powering down and powering back up begining with the modem and then the base station.
Changing base station channel
Turning off wireless printer
Renewing DHCP lease on base station
Renewing DHCP lease on individual units
I see others with this problem but the fixes seem random. I was thinking it is a DNS issue but... the error reads "disconnected" not DNS issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

The issues seems to be DNS related.
When the internetconnection drops, the airport utility indicator switches to yellow, I can still get websites to reslive by using their IP addresses in place of the URL. E.g. http://173.194.70.101 for google.
But I can make neither heads nor tails of why this happens or when...
The one thing I think I am noticing but does not make any sense is that when I use the IP instead of the URL, it forces the connection back on.

Xperia z2 dead , red light blinking when connected to usb charging cable

My phone is totally dead, i cant do anything power button + volume up button , force restart button near the sim , and nothing happens , also when i connect to a usb charger the red light is blinking all the time . Please HELP ME i need my xperia z2 back to live....

Hi,
For how long time have the phone been connected to the charger? If the LED is blinking red, it sounds like the battery is completely flat. Thereby it can take a longer time before the phone indicates charging and/or powers on. I suggest that you connect the phone to the charger via wall socket and let it charge for 1-2 hours.

WRT54GS-Ver. 6 - Never shows that it has internet connection

Hi,
I have been trying to resolve a problem and I can't no matter what I do.
I have Model # WRT54GS - Ver. 6, I have had it over a year and the problem started a year ago when I bought it so my daughter could connect her computer wirelessly with mine. It was working just fine and then it started disconnecting one computer when the other was on, the two of them could never be on at the same time, anyway my daughter moved out and I put the router away not worried anymore about the problem. 5 days ago I bought a Dell Inspirion Laptop with Vista and reconnected the router to my main computer (Dell Dimension 3000 with Windows XP)
Here is the problem - I can only get connectivity to one computer at a time or neither of them will connect, when I check out the advisor it ALWAYS shows up as if there is no connction to the internet even if I can get on with one of the computers. I have a Touchstone telephony ARRIS modem with Cox Internet (always been the same) I have tried to download the updates for the router but I can never open it as it saves as a VLC media file(.bin) and if I try to "unzip" it , it says "cannot open file as archive" always.
I have reset, rebooted, un plugged all connections and I don't know what else to do. I have had about 4 diffferent encryption keys already when I have to disconnect. I have also tried removing it from my computer and re-installing .
Can any one help PLEASE
Thanks in advance.

Ok, now I think I have a bigger problem,
I did as posted from "HELM" and downloaded firmware and everything downloaded fine thanks to the instructions given, but after rebooting and unplugging, waiting 30 sec. and replugging the power, now easylink advisor tells me that it cannot find the router...I tried disconnecting the power to the modem and router as it indicates and then waitng the proper amount of time for each one and reconnecting, but to no avail.
So I diconnected the router completely and connected directly to the modem to be able to write back and ask what can I do now that the router is now longer recognized?
Should I just trash it and buy another one because there is no hope for this one.
Thanks in advance.

Blinking red light and wont connect to bb desktop?! ! !

ive held the button(s) ,,
if i could just get it to sync with desktop id be fine

Read the technical support pages for your router model. There is an article on the blinking power light somewhere. It describes in detail how to load a new firmware to the router using tftp. Try this procedure.
If it fails try to do what I have posted here.

Strange itunes internet connection problem

Hey all,
i've been experiencing a strange iTunes problem this summer and was hoping I could get some help. If it helps, im on windows XP (sp2) with the newest version of iTunes.
Here's my problem:
When I insert a CD to import into my library, iTunes fails to retrieve any track info from the internet. This is despite having my preferences set to Automatically retrieve CD track names from the internet. I don't get an error message or anything, just a failure to get any names. However, I can click Advanced -> Get CD Track Names and it will retrieve the names like nothing was wrong in the first place...strange. But there's more:
I can no longer see any Radio stations or categories when I click the Radio tab, just an empty window pane appears with no accompanying error message. To confuse me further, I can get on the iTunes Music store with no problem whatsoever. I haven't tried downloading a song yet, but I can at least stream samples...
so then I go Help -> run Diagnostics -> Network Connection, and I get a FAILED red light for "Internet Connection Status"
what is the DEAL?!

When you run network diagnostics and anything fails, there is a help button that should come up to help troubleshoot what might be blocking itunes.
Try turning off any internet security, firewall or anti-malware that you might have running on the computer. If this works, then check the website for the programs you turned off and see if there are any updates.
Here is an article from the apple support website that might help out.

TC 2 TB A1409 Wan internet connection no longer working but light is still green?

TC 2 TB A1409 Wan internet connection no longer working but light is still green?
My TC and modem have been up and running for at least the last 2 years without any issues.
It recently started acting up and I would have restart it as I had no internet access. All of a sudden My TC stopped connecting to internet regardless of restart. Utility shows i have no internet connection. I had all the correct green lights on my modem. I figured it might be the modem and connected directly to single ethernet port in modem to my mac book and it worked. When I reconnect modem to TC and restart Modem, TC still shows no internet connection in utility even though I'm getting green sync light on TC.
Help Please.
I'm out of warranty, I have not reset to default yet, Im not sure if I will loose my TC back up data.
please advice
Remy

The Gen4 has some nasty faults.. mostly unrepairable...
If the WAN is gone it becomes pretty well useless at least in its current role as router.
You might still be able to plug it in by ethernet to a LAN port in bridge.
Do try a full factory reset.. always worth a go.
No files will be lost on the hard disk.
The Factory Reset universal
Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
Release reset.
If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Check the ethernet LED is going on.. both on the modem and the TC WAN port.
Do you have any applecare on a computer? If so it might cover the TC.. the rules are complicated but if the TC was bought within 2years before or after the computer it is covered up to max of 3years. You can still get coverage therefore if the TC is over 1 year but less than 2 years by buying applecare now on a computer or an Apple TV which is not too expensive. You can sell off the Apple TV without even opening it.. but use the applecare on it to get your TC replaced.
Only the very first Gen4 will be up to 3years.
Did you have a lightning storm or something btw?? Sometimes the modem can survive and pass the parcel to the TC which seems rather fragile.
There is also a trick to test..
You must have v5 airport utility.. any older Macs, or windows computer you can load on 5.6 utility .. even dual boot/parallels mac.
Go to the WAN setup.. and set the ethernet port to 10mbit half duplex.
Sometimes a damaged port can still manage the slowest speed.. by magic.

Red light after connecting usb cable each time

My ipod shuffle (4th gen) is weird and would not start. I know it's because someday I plugged out the usb cable right after I perform the sync task and forget to press the reject button first.
Now the symtons is: It won't start / recharge, and it even doesn't show any light. Each time I connect it to the PC or AC adaptor, it will show RED light in about 5 seconds, and after few seconds there will be no light and it just dies.
How can I fixed my poor faily new shuffle?

Hey exkaede,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities! I'd go ahead and try restoring your iPod shuffle to factory settings, so the software will be restored to its original factory condition with updates:

LOSS OF INTERNET CONNECTION

Please help me, I am close to a nervous breakdown!
I had an internet connection once, I would lose the connection occassionally, but had no problem reconnecting. Now it has gone completely! (1 month and counting!)
Thought it might be a router problem, so brought a new one. I now have 2 routers, 2 lots of leads, 3 ethernet cables, 5 filters....still cant connect.
Take equipment round to my friends house, connect first time no problems, using all leads router etc etc. Still cant connect at my house!
Friend brings laptop round (PC rubbish) connects and surfs no problem, thru my router or the usb modem supplied by tiscali (usb modem wont work on mac) Ring Bt, no problems with line (get green light for telephone connection on router, but no green light for internet) Ring tiscali, again no problem with connection) Its not hard using DHCP, email address & password, router seems to try to connect, only error code I recieve is CHAP protocol error.....my Mac not talking to there server....I think!
Network connection on mac gives me 3 green lights for ethernet, network, ISP, but 2 red lights for internet and server!!!
Have rebuilt the machine 3 times, dump prefs, dumped caches, smu reset, everything I can think off!
I can see from the forum that there are a lot of people out there with similar problems, Any ideas please? Be gentle, new to mac's

Can you draw a schematic of your setup?
surge protector for modem => modem => router/switch
=> ethernet surge protector => ethernet cable to Mac.
Ethernet ports are vulnerable to power outage and
surges as well as whatever summer lightning storms
can create.
A surge protector for the modem is a good investment.
But it allows more power through than should be on
the ethernet cat5 and going into your Mac's ethernet
port.
Did you look into using or buying a 2nd modem?
Netgear has ADSL modem-router/switches in US for
$105. I don't know how proprietary or anything the UK
systems are.
In Tiger I found (back around 10.3.4) that I had to
put the primary and secondary DNS IP address, which
were automatically picked up by router, into the
Network control panel to prevent delays. Then to turn
off IPv6 (causes slower response or no response and
isn't wildly supported it seems, but not sure why it
is even there then).
Can you or have you reset the router or modem? most
have a button that will return it to default state,
but lose any settings you have provided.
I'm not sure what was in your .sig as to mac etc and
whether you can use an alternate ethernet type
connection, PC-CARDBUS or wireless router connection.
Hello "The Hatter", thanks for replying to me,
I have already purchased a second router, but I am still getting the same problem, Have reset the routers back to factory default on numerous occasions (with no success)
Get the same problem when connecting wireless as well
Lan light flickers when trying to connect with mac, so I presume a signal is coming from the mac to the router.
The only error message i get is on the router is LCP or CHAP negotiation failure. Sounds like tiscali server is not recognising my email address/password, will email you a schematic

Fios Internet connection is very bad! Please help!

Hello,
I play an online game called Final Fantasy XIV. I use a program called WTFast in order to have a solid gaming experience, one without or very little lag or disconnects.
Recently, within the last 3-4months, I have noticed I get EXTREME lag and DISCONNECTS. I contacted WTFast with a tracert that they analyzed, and here is their response:
"Your internet connection is very bad. There is a "plateau" spike. This will cause WTFast to spike as well, and for such a long "spike" it is not surprising that the connection was dropped.
The previous report showed a very unstable internet connection as well (the one where you got a 30 second freeze).
Present the same reports you sent to us to your ISP (Verizon FIOS) and ask them to try to make their connection better. The report will help them see the quality of the current connection."
Here is the information in the more readable form (except for the last four as I figured you would probably get the idea by then). Yes, 4 shows 100% packet loss, so the connection dropped then. Also, in 5 the standard deviation is high (16.35 ms) which indicates a huge fluctuation in the signal. The flux column also shows large numbers, which indicates a large variance in the signal speed. Finally, there are a lot of hops just within the ISP, ie rows 2-8, and all this data is for the ISP itself, not the WTFast connection. In fact, that connection is the last one, and there you can see good numbers. Hope this helps.

I did a tracert from my computer to sites like MSN.com; Verizon.com etc, and EVERY SINGLE 4 shows a 100% loss. I did the same tracert from my computer at work that uses a different IP provider, and those same sites show a response from 4.
Can anyone help me out with this please! Thank you for reading!

Hello @rana-minhas,
I understand that after replacing your power supply on your HP Compaq dc7800 Small Form Factor PC it will not power up properly and shows a green light for 5 seconds before restarting. I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure, I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums, since this is a commercial product. You can do this at Business PCs - Compaq, Elite, Pro.
I hope this helps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
