Signal Interruption to Router HELP

New(ish) customer here.  Fairly happy except that the signal to the router is frequesntly interrupted, requiring me to close and open my browser several times.  Obviously something up here.  Have shut router off overnight, etc. still happens at the beginning and during each session.  Do I need a service call? FIOS is new to this neighborhood.

Wow that's a bit overwhelming.  her ya go:
What do you mean by "signal interrupted"?  The wireless signal? 
No, although I assume it is out if the hard wired desk top isn't revceiving a signal.
The MOCA signal from the ONT to to the router?  The fiber signal from the CO to your ONT?  Can you be more specific?
I am asuming the MOCA signal is out because the COto ONT signal is out.  Although I have never gone to the garage to look at the box. my guess was the fiber signal to the house was being interrupted.
When this happens, what are the lights on the router doing?
Sometimes all are out, sometimes one greenlight is on, not blinking. Sometimes a few are on, not blinking. Often re-opening a browser (where i have always received a message the internet connection is lost) will begin the happy little green light dance on the router and reconnect to the Internet. Sometimes only a router reset does the trick.
Does the internet LED stay green? Or does it turn orage.  Never have seen an orange light on the front of the router.  See above.
How are you connected to the router?  Wireless or cat5? Do you think we unenlightened users are supposed to know what a cat5 connection is? I am connected to the router via an ethernet cable less than six feet in length.
How is the router connected to the ONT?  coax or cat5?
Again, what's with this cat5 business?  There is a coaxial cable to my router from the (ONT?) box in the garage, about 20 feet away, same floor.
When this happens, what are the lights on the ONT doing?  Haven't checked yet, but next time it freezes i will.
Does the Network (fiber)  LED stay green, or does it turn red? YOu're talking about the ONT aren't you? See how I've learned? Again I don't know.
Likewise, what is the MOCA light doing (if you have a coax connection to the ONT).? It seems, oh sensei, that I will have to check the ONT to get a before and after idea of what is going on.
Granted all this is an irritant only, but DSL was steady, and I was told the FIOS signal was constant unless there are bigger neighborhood or system problems.

  • I just got my cable company to switch my wireless router to a wired one considering now I have the wireless airport device (the newest one) but now I can't get a wireless signal. The router works when directlyplugged in,the aiport wireless device is green

    I just got my cable company to switch my wireless router to a wired one considering now I have the wireless airport device (the newest one) but now I can't get a wireless signal. The router works when directlyplugged in,the aiport wireless device is green. I've tried going through my new MacBook Pro settings and it the diagnostics check, it says network changes detected, I tell it that it "yes" does connect to a cable modem, it tells me to restart it, after I do it asks if there are any other devices hooked up ( firewall) and when I say no it tells me that it can't fix the problem.
    Now I know that I probably have a new IP address because of the cable company switching the boxes but it was working fine with the other box, now there isn't a signal to be had on it!
    Please anybody out there that can help!!!??

    Any time you change networking hardware it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle with the new equipment. Check out the following AirPort User Tip. Please post back your results.

    Try rebooting the router and see if that helps. unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.
    You can also try restarting your iPad. 
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • No signal .. No help

    Hi people.I started off by being frustrated.  Now i'm fuming.Can anyone here help?  Sorry if this is long. Thanks. I was very loyal to One2One/TMobile for over 20 years - was really happy with them.Over the last 2 years, the signal became intermittent. Loads of folk around me changed to O2 because it was better.  So I did too. And for 3 months, it's been fantastic. A full signal, all the time ! Right..... for the past THREE DAYS, there has been NO SIGNAL at all in my area.O2 tell me - as does their website - that there is a mast not working in my area. But no-one can give me any idea of when it'll be working again.  So I have no calls, no texts, no service.I'm having to drive out of the area to get a signal so I can pick up any texts that have come through.
    I know "these things happen" but . . . . my friends here, (one has an IPhone & one has a Samsung) ARE getting a signal.  I have a brand new Sony Xperia Z3 compact.Why are they getting a signal & I'm not?   Sony can't help me either & say it's an O2 problem. I'm paying £38 plus vat per month for this service !I don't know how many more days this is going to go on. Can I get some sort of a refund for lack of service?Thank you for reading.Deryck

    My partner and myself have the same issue and have had for 3 days so far we have been with o2 for a number of years now and all was well up to the last 8 months or so we have had no signal in that time regular day and night and you get sick of being in the middle of a call only for the signal to die for anything up to 20 minutes you then get it back and the same again it is getting worse all the time the last 3 days no signal at all and the same story a mast problem in our area customer service was always pretty good but now is poor at best when you can finally get in touch with them i have in the past reccomended o2 to friends and family but unless they get their fingers out never again come on o2 get this service sorted please and stop cutting corners
    update on this after 3 hours of trying i got through to customer service all i got as a reply was it will be fixed when its fixed bloody disgusting service i think maybe after all the years i have been with o2 its a time to change

  • If I purchase a second Airport, will it strengthen the signal from the router in one part of the house , so that the printer, in a basement can see it?

    I have a router in my upstairs, main floor of the house.   My iMac connects easily to the router, but the printer does not.  If I purchase a second Airport, will it strengthen the signal from the router so the printer will connect wirelessly to the network?
    I had the printer connected to the iMac by USB , but when I upgraded the iMac to Maverick OS10  my scanner no longer worked, the more I fussed with it the less productive it was.   Now the printer no longer is available at all.   The computer does not see it.  
    The message when I turn them on is that the USB is not compatible.    I unplugged the USB cable,  and would like to connect wirelessly.
    Thank you for any hints
    Carol Havens

    If you have an Apple router now providing your wireless network, you could add another....like an AirPort Express, for example....to "extend" the signal wirelessly and provide more coverage.
    This is always a bit tricky, because the AirPort Express would need to be located where it can receive a strong signal from the main AirPort wireless router.
    For example, if you need more wireless signal in a bedroom at the end of the house, you would locate the AirPort Express about half way between the main AirPort router and the bedroom.
    On a side note......only the print function will work when you connect an All-in-One device to the USB port on an AirPort, so connect the All-in-One using wireless for full functionality.

  • Equium A100-063 PSAAQE: WLan signal interrupts

    Hi
    i'm italian so excuse me for my english.
    The 23rd of March Ive bought the Notebook EQUIUM A100-063 PSAAQE.
    Unfortunately I have found a problem that I can't resolve although numerous test I've tried.
    After some minute the connection wireless to my Router DLINK DSL-G624T falls and I must repeat the procedure of connection to Internet although the radio signal is always excellent, but after some minutes the line falls again.
    I approach without proplems with pocketpc and another notebook to the same router.
    Currently I have configured WEP key but I have tried also with WAP key, and also without key, moreover I have tried various names of SSID and to set up the IP in static mode and also in dynamic mode.
    I've verified that the version of the card Wireless driver is the last one.
    Can you help me in some way, please?

    Thanks for your answer. I've verified that the probable source of my problem is due to interference on the channel radio setting. When I've changed the channel from 6 to 11 the connection is remained stable for an hour until the problem has been repeated.
    In the same time the problem has been repeat, another Access Point has been activated on the radio channel 11 like my router, therefore I've configured my router in channel 9 and I don't have more problems.

  • TV signal gone after reset HELP please..

    Since we got that major update on BT vision 3-4 months ago my vision has been near on useless. it freezes when watching freeview channels, wouldnt even load the catch up menus half the time, when I called and complained I was told it was because the update did something to my machine and it needed another update to fix it.. But when I called for an update of this Friday just gone I was told it was because my box needed a reset,
    I done the reset, and got this error code VDR016 it then continutes to do the update succesfully, Well it says succesfully but now I have the most terrible signal on most channels, which I never had before the reset,
    I have since reset it twice more, to be met with the same error before the installation finishes, and the same bad picture each time.. I have unplugged and replugged in all my cables incase one was caught at any time during me doing the reset, and still I have the same issue.
    I would call BT over the phone, but im sick of being lied to and messed aroound, and spending hours at a time (Yes I literally mean hours) waiting for answers running tests and still being no further forward..
    so has anyone got any ideas as to what I can try before I just cancel it and try sky again
    My internet is running 75meg fibre optic, Vision box is hardwired to the router, and internet is running perfectly,

    Try purging the channel list, not likely to solve the problem but you never know. Remove the aerial from the box and do a channel scan, which will clear it. Then replace the aerial and scan again.

  • Wireless Router Help

    I recently moved this past week and I am trying to set up a wireless internet for my Macbook Pro.  At my old residence I could pick up the signal just fine, but at this new place, I can't seem to get AirPort to pick up a signal.  When I go into Network and check the Diagnostics, all the airport setting lights are green except for the bottom 2 (I believe they are Internet and Server.  Those 2 are Yellow.)  However if I disconnect the ethernet from the wireless router and plug it directly into my computer, I do receive a wireless signal. 
    Do I have to reconfigure my wireless router (since I did change from Charter to Time Warner) in order for AirPort to transmit the signal to my computer?  If so, how do I do that?
    Any help is greatly appreciated. 

    Can Time Warner confirm that your router is compatible with their service?
    You may need to reset your broadband modem to convince it to connect to a "new" device.  Depending on the model of modem, that can be as easy as removing power for a few moments.  If that doesn't work, remove power and wait 15 minutes.  Further reset steps can involve pressing a "reset" button or removing a battery if the modem has one.  In the worst case, your ISP may need to edit its settings to update to the MAC address of the new router.

  • Intermittent signal interruptions (green screen)

    Anyone else want to weigh-in on this issue? I have intermittent green screen interruptions, particularly during evening hours, making it very difficult to watch TV with my FIOS service. Tech support said the issue is known (see my recent chat transcript below). I wish I would've known when signing-up that my particular brand of TV has a compatibility issue with FIOS. I would have bought a different TV had I known. However, verizon has been silent on this issue. Thus and particularly considering verizon's deceptive billing practices, I pay top dollar for a service I can not use. They say they are working on the issue. I wish they would disclose the issue when people sign-up. 
    See my last chat transcript. TV signal loss intermittently during peak (evening) hours. FIOS tech reset my STB, which fixed the problem temporarily, but the problem returned. he stated that a new STB is required and left a note with my account, which you should be able to view
    Antonio: There is a known issue w/the 7000 series box that is going to be fixed by a software push in the next week or so. When it goes off, what exactly does it do?
    gordon macpherson: STB stays on. signal is lost and screen turns green for a few seconds and then returns. This happens every few minutes, sometimes more frequently and more so at night. I have 2 stb and this is the only 1 with the problem
    Antonio: It doesn't say "currently unavai" just goes to the green screen
    gordon macpherson: correct
    Antonio: one moment
    Antonio: What kind of cable do you have from the box to the TV?
    gordon macpherson: HDMI. I tried 2 separate cables- both have the problem. Since the signal if fine during the am it is unlikely that the cable is the issue
    Antonio: It's not an issue w/a bad cable. Wht is going on is that the firware of the TV is not liking the firmware of the box itself
    gordon macpherson: why is the other tv not presenting a problem. Both are sharp tvs
    Antonio: Each of the TV and the box itself are all just highly speciliazed computers. And sometimes there are compatiblity issues. The temporary resolution is to reset your box by unplugging the power cable for 10-15 seconds. The more permanent solution is to use component cables from the box to your TV. Verizon is working on a fix for the issue, however we don?t have it yet.
    gordon macpherson: So others are having this same problem?
    Antonio: Yes sir
    Antonio: However it is not a problem w/all TV or all manfactures. We know what is causing the issue, however devising a solution is taking us a while longer
    gordon macpherson: when will there be a fix? It seems that verizon should not be charging for a service they are not able to provide
    gordon macpherson: i am essentially unable to use my 2nd tv with fios
    Antonio: We are working on a fix, but I don't have an ETA. It's not that we can't provide the service, it's that some of the programing in the TV has problems switching from analog to HD signals and back again
    gordon macpherson: there was nothing in the contract to specify that certain TVs would not work
    gordon macpherson: What is verizon doing for people who have this unresolved issue
    Antonio: Right now the solution is to put the TV on componet cables (which are HD cables) 
    gordon macpherson: so there is no difference in signal quality between hdmi and component cables?
    gordon macpherson: will verizon provide the component cables
    Antonio: There is a slight difference. But we've had people in our call center w/the fios service test both cables. They say the difference is like being able to see an extra blade of grass
    Antonio: We can't provide componet cables, however if you are willing to get your own I can get a 25 dollar service credit to cover the cost
    gordon macpherson: I think this constitutes breach of contract. This issue was clearly known when I signed on, and there was no communication of a list of TV brands for which problems have been recorded
    Antonio: I understand your frustation and I can work w/you to get a credit for those componet cables.
    gordon macpherson: I appreciate that. however, I am paying for service compatible with HDMI
    gordon macpherson: If verizon is unable to provide the agreed upon service I request that my account be cancelled and the cancellation fee waived
    Antonio: Verizon is working on this issue. However if you wish to cancel you would need to speak w/our billing department. 
    gordon macpherson: OK I will forward this transcript with my cancellation request. In the meantime, please provide the credit and I will use it to buy component cables and see if that helps. Thanks for your help
    Antonio: Ok. One moment for the to put that in
    gordon macpherson: Ok Antonio. I realize this is the best you could do from where you sit. I appreciate the help and was interested to learn that I was not the only one with this issue.
    Antonio: while I'm putting that in...did you want me to reset the box?
    gordon macpherson: No it was reset yesterday. I will reset it tonight. 
    Antonio: Ok. I've got that request in. the Ticket number is MDDQ03T7Z8. This may take a couple of billing cycles to reflect
    gordon macpherson: I would encourage verizon to communicate a current list of TVs for which there is a signal issue, until resolved. Had this been done when I signed up I would simply have bought a different TV
    gordon macpherson: Ok thanks
    Antonio: I will pass that along. However because the issue is highly dependant on the firmware of the specific models that is very hard to do. One last thing. If you get the componet cables and it does the same thing, then in that case it is not the known issue and we will replace the box (but right now all indications are that it is)
    gordon macpherson: Ok. I will try that and see what happens. Do I need the 3 color (yellow, green, white) 2-ended cables?
    Antonio: The componet are the green/blue/red ones for the hd signal and the red/white ones for audio
    gordon macpherson: ok thanks. will verizon let me know when a software fix is available

    Two things to try.
    Can you plug another HDMI source into the same HDMI port in the TV?  As far as I know, a normal DVD player doesn't use an HDMI output, you'll need a Blu-Ray player.  This test is to make sure the HDMI port on the TV is working properly and didn't die on you.
    You are getting a picture now with the component cables.  That's fine.  However, the component cables only transmit video, not audio.  If you want to get audio, you need to connect another pair of audio cables from the FiOS box to the TV audio inputs that are linked to the 3-wire video input.
    The old HDMI cable transmitted both audio and video on the same cable.

  • Ipad push applications on Apples Dual band router - Help

    All, why are my push apps not pushing when I'm connected to the Apple dual band router, internet works fine though? Funny thing is at my moms house it pushes fine with her cheap netgear. Can someone with a dual band and push working on your iPad please provide what settings you used on the router ? Is it best to just a separate name for 5ghz ?
    Its been so hard to find help on this. Thanks

    I am also finding streaming (from YouTube) to be poor both on wifi and 3G. My first gen iPad had a lot of problems, but streaming was never one of them. Signal strength is good and I haven't changed any network hardware or settings.

  • Saffire Pro 24(Non DSP) Logic Studio 9 Signal through interface but no signal through logic, PLEASE HELP!

    I recently purchased a saffire pro 24, rode nt1000 condeser mic, and Logic 9. My Problem is that I don't know how to get a signal through the DAW. There is a signal through the interface I can hear the mic through the head phones. With Mix Control I have the routing preset set to "DAW Tracking" with line output 3 and 4 set to Analog 1 so I can hear the Mic. All the other settings are untouched. On Logic I have everything untouched except for preference>audio I set the input and output to saffire with a buffer size of 256 but I can't hear ANYTHING through the DAW only the interface itself. Any help would be greatly appreaciated. This is my first studio set up I have toyed around with garageband a bit.

    thanks! it worked while recording but the gain is real high on the interface for only a low signal on the DAW. How do you turn on monitering?
    The Rode mic needs Phantom power, do you have that turned on? (if not, turn the input gain down first)
    The audio interface will have a gain control for the mic, it may or may not have sensitivity switches that can give you more gain, either that or a trim control.
    The software monitoring is well... right next to where you set your interface and I/O buffer.
    Two cents of advice, reading the manual (over and over) of your hardware interface is a must. In order to make decent recordings you will have to know and understand your hardware. Same with Logic, it's pretty easy to get going on Logic but to use more than 2 or 3% of what the program is capable of the manual and online help is a necessity. Also your mic.
    I tell clients that wish to learn Logic to pretend they have no Internet access, just the program and the manuals + online help.
    They usually tell me to leave at that point.

    I'm using a WRT54G2 Router.  It's wired to a Motorola Surfboard modem.  I can't access the manual config 192.168.1.1 and two other computers that are wireless in the house rely on my access point to be able to use the internet. Problem is I'm getting that good o'l "You are connected to the access point, but the internet cannot be found."  I've tried assigning static IP's, power cycling, release/renew in IPCONFIG,  I've whispered sweet nothings into my PC's ear...etc...etc...etc... I CAN access the manual config through the one laptop when it's wired to the modem though. Please for the love of everything someone help me!!!!!

    Are you trying to access 192.168.1.1  wirelessly?   If so, stop doing this.  Wireless access to 192.168.1.1  often fails.  Use a computer that is wired to the router when you want to change router settings.
    1)  I assume that the "IPCONFIG /ALL"  info that you posted was obtained when your computer was wired directly to your modem  --  is that correct?
    2)  When you did the "IPCONFIG /ALL", was your computer wired to the modem with ethernet cable, or USB cable?
    3)  Your network should be setup like this:
    Motorola Surfboard -- WRT54G2  )))     ((( wireless computer(s)
                                        |--- wired computer
    Motorola Surfboard ethernet port wired to WRT54G2 Internet port, using ethernet cable.
    Wired computer connected to a LAN port on the WRT54G2, using ethernet cable.
    Nothing connected to USB port of Motorola Surfboard.
    Wireless computers connect directly (and wirelessly) to WRT54G2, not to your wired computer.
    Is above the way your system is setup?  If not, how is your system setup? 
    4)  Please clarify the problem that you are having.  Are you saying that your computer simply cannot access 192.168.1.1 , or that it cannot access the Internet, or that you cannot get any of your computers to access the Internet through the WRT54G2?    Are you trying to connect this computer by wire or wirelessly to the WRT54G2?
    5)  Can any computer access the Internet through the WRT54G2?

    No, I'm trying to acess it through a wired computer. The computer I'm on right now is wired to the access point which is wired to the motorola modem. I can access the login page(as well as the internet) through the computer wired to the router(which, as stated just a few sentences ago, I'm currently using), but when i type in admin for the password it literally kicks me right back into the login screen with both username and password feilds blank. My entire system is setup the way you described that it should be ethernet cable and all. Trust me that was the first thing I checked. The IPCONFIG /ALL is the status of the computer wired to the router. The other two computers in the house (one is a laptop with wireless card and the other is a PC that I bought a wireless card for) cannot access the internet. They used to be able to until recently and I've made no changes to any of the settings.
    I also tryed power cycling the system. It granted wireless access to the wireless computers as well as my playstation 3, BUT, I lost internet access on the wired computer. Imagine my frustration. I power cycled again then I was back to square one. No wireless access but access with the wired pc. It's not set to a static IP address either.

    D)  Have you upgraded the router's firmware?
    E)  After the firmware upgrade, did you reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch?
    F)  You said that the "IPCONFIG /ALL" was obtained when you were connected to the WRT54G2 router.  But this looks like IPCONFIG data from connection to the Motorola Surfboard modem.  Are you sure this IPCONFIG /ALL is from connection to the WRT54G2?
    G)  Have you been running unsecured wireless?   Or are you using encryption?  If you are using unsecured wireless, perhaps your neighbor logged into your router (by accident or intentionally) and changed your login password.
    I would suggest that you reset your router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch.  If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
    Please use the following procedure to reset your router:
    1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
    2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
    3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
    5) Power down the router.
    6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
    7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
    9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
    10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
    If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
    If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is likely dead.  Report back with this problem.
    If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt.   Report back with this problem.
    If you need additional help, please state the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
    Please let me know how things turn out for you.

    My apologies for the delay in response, things have been hectic lately.  Alrighty, I did all that you said and here are some interesting results, I'll break down the results by each machine that a fiddled with:
    Wired Desktop PC:
    -I got no response when trying to ping the router
    -Could not access the 192.168.1.1 configuration screen, not even the prompt for username and password
    -When using the installation disk AND the installation program i downloaded off the Linksys website it would not detect the router.
    Wireless Laptop(this is where i think it gets interesting):
    -I was able to fully install and automatically configure the router by using the installation disk
    -I could ping and get full response from the router both wirelessly and while it was directly wired to the router
    -I could also access the configuration menu 192.168.1.1 in my web browser
    -I also had a backup copy of the latest firmware for the router on my flash drive, so I updated the firmware through the laptop.
    -The laptop was using the router as it's access point, however the internet could not be found.
    If I wasn't at a total loss before I tried all this, I certainly am now. Could it be a problem with the network settings on the PC that is wired? Perhaps a faulty ethernet port? Your thoughts?
    Well, that's where it left off, I got no responses back from anyone after the last post. Help!!!

    As you are able to access your router's web interface you should now try to re-configure it...
