Still having some problems with my WRT300N v2 router....

For 6 years or so I have been using a Linksys router and been quite happy with it. As such, it was "natural" for me to look for another. Especially since I have seen the user interface of several of routers for port forwarding, and other settings vital to a good solid gaming connection.
When I first setup the router the firmware was it's default (v2.08) and that is just buggy imho, for anyone connecting more than one computer. The biggest hassle was that the wireless connections could not connect to any of the other computers in the LAN. Although they did, after a long wait, get a DHCP address from my separate DHCP server. FORTUNATELY, the new firmware (v2.17) resolved most, if not all of my local connectivity problems.
I still have one major problem though. This is the IP renewal of the WAN address. My ISP wants that updated every 30 to 60 minutes, so the renewal period is 3600 seconds, or 1 hour. What I recall from the RFC on DHCP is that a client is expected to send renewal requests long before the IP address assignment reaches it expiration "moment". If I remember correctly, this is the time interval T2 (T1 being expiration), and by default T2 == T1 * 0.75.
In other words, all DHCP clients (in this case the WAN side of the router) should be requesting a renewal/refresh of the DHCP address at 75% of the lease period - in my case at 45 minutes. After watching closely for the last 4 hours, I see my game clients lose connection on all my computers, and I see the DHCP renewal take place.
Could someone from Linksys verify when the first requests for renewal get sent out? This is instant death in a MORPH if you are trying to do pvp. Absolutely unworkable.
Thank you for your attention and support.

Well, after a couple more application crashes on the hour, I swapped my old befw11s4 router in and watched the way it does IP renewal of the WAN IP addresses. Shortly after it reaches the halfway mark, the lease gets renewed.
Anyone notice this behavior with their WRTS300N? No update on DHCP lease til after expiration?

    I'm having some problems with my ipad and charging it. I am having to leave it in charge for a lot longer, but when I take it out and want to use it the battery is still not completely full and goes down a lot faster than usual. The other day, I had charged  my iPad overnight so that I could take it to university with me for the day, and when I had switched it on the next day the battery was on 5% and I had not used it since charge.

    Your battery may be dying. THey are only good for so many charges/discharges. If you have an apple store near by make an appointment and have them check itout

  • Having some problems with apps froms the app store

    Hello. Since I got my iTouch I've been having some problems with some apps. Some work perfectly fine, but some others are just crashing after a few seconds. I've tried everything I found, but it seems like my problem is different from the one related by lots of others iPod users. Here's a video a friend of mine who's having the same problems I am did showing it:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MI-gBhP_cgU
    It's really annoying us. Does anyone know how to fix it? Does it look like a firmware problem? Thanks in advance.

    Have youy tried:
    - Reset:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • IPad mini with retina still having wifi problems with iOS 8.0.2 - slow or none. Resetting temporarily fixes problem it very annoying. Please fix Apple! Not up to scratch.

    iPad mini with retina still having wifi problems with iOS 8.0.2 - slow or none. Resetting temporarily fixes problem it very annoying. Please fix Apple! Not up to scratch.

    I Have followed these steps, and tried others, such as resetting all my network settings. At best these only temporarily fix the problem - wifi still becomes slow or stops. I have other Apple devices connecting fine to my airport express. why is my iPad mini not working? Is it related to the fact it is 3G and I don't have a sim card installed? It is the current top of the range model with iOS 8.0.2. I paid over the odds for the best, and it is almost completely redundant.  Apple - I'm losing faith. You need to keep the public better informed and fix this problem fast, otherwise I will leave you for good.

  • I´m having some problems with dates intervals. It´s not working well. I inserted the correct date between the right interval but the system refers to incorrect date? What shoul I do?

    It seens that there´s some problem with the specific date of 19/10/2014? Don´t know why? I just remove this date from the interval and the problem gone.
    What´s wrong with 19/10/2014?

    Hello Galdr,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that after doing some updates, you've lost the use of switchable graphics in your Notebook. I will do my best to help you with this.
    You can try is to use the HP Recovery Manager. This will allow you to "recover" the Notebook and reinstall the original drivers. This document: Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7), can assist you with that.
    Once the drivers are "reverted", then if you wish you can attempt updating.
    This first thing I will provide you in regards to updating is this document: Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Dual AMD GPUs. There is more general information than anything, but you may find it useful.
    When going to update you will want to use the website or the HP Support Assistant. These are the recommend ways to update. When using AMD's (or other OEM utilities) they will look for compatible drivers for the component, but not necessarily ones that work with your Notebook. What most likely happened, only one of the two drivers were actually updated.
    Here is a link to the newest driver provided by HP: AMD High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver. Also, here's a link to using the HP Support Assistant: Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 7). (in case you wanted to learn more/use this method).
    I hope this is able to help you get back to "state 1", so that you may be able to update correctly and have full functionality of your switchable graphics again. Please let me know how this goes for you. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
    I worked on behalf of HP.

  • Having some problems with ImageIcons and JLabels

    I'm making a checkers game, and so far it's going pretty well.
    I've got the basic game down, and you can move pieces, jump, your turn ends when you can't jump anymore, etc...
    However, I've had three problems:
    1.) I'm using JLabels to display my board (8 x 8.. well actually 9 x 9 for an outer row labelled A,B,C,D.. 1,2,3,4...) Anyway, I create the JLabels using something that looks like \:
    JLabel square = new JLabel(new ImageIcon("pic.png"));
    Now, the picture loads properly, but it seems like the picture is being cropped, and the top and bottom are getting chopped off, so my 36 x 36 pixel *.gif appears to be 36 x 30.
    You can see how there is a gap created in:
    http://img235.imageshack.us/img235/7765/prob13ky.jpg
    Now the problem may be with the GridLayout I am using, but I set the distance between the components in the container to be 0, 0 so I don't think that GridLayout is chopping my icons. I've also tried setPreferredSize(new Dimension(36,36))
    for both my ImageIcons and JLabels and for my container (which I set to size 2000,2000, just to make sure there was room). If anyone can help me, it's be appreciated.
    2.) I used to be able to view my outside row/column of squares that said A,B,C,D.... and 1,2,3,4... with the square in the corner having a random pic. For some reason now (have no clue why) I now see only the pic in the corner, and then a little gray smudge diagonally under it.
    Pic:
    http://img347.imageshack.us/img347/8308/prob24im.jpg
    I don't know what's wrong. I'm pretty sure it's none of the new methods I've written, as those are all in my static void main (String[] ar) ...... and if I comment all the methods in my main except where I first make the JFrame and set it visible, it still turns out like that. repaint() doesn't help.
    3.) For some reason, when I move another window (AIM, the console window, etc...) over my Swing window, it "erases" (turns gray, just wipes clean) the part where I have my squares that have pieces.
    What's weird is that:
    The border pieces (err.. my one visible corner piece from my second problem) don't get wiped, and some debugging text and JLabels (in a different JPanel) are fine. I don't think the JPanel matters though; the border pieces and the playing squares (which get wiped) are in the same JPanel and same array of squares.
    repaint(); also erases ALL of my playing squares, whereas moving a window over them would only erase the part that the window covered.
    Also, I added a mouseListener so that whenever I move the mouse over a square, it changes the image (to a tinted version, so you know the mouse is over it) and when you move the mouse away, it returns to normal. However, if I wildly swing the mouse around the area, it seems to lock up and freeze for a few seconds. Is there anything I can do to prevent this??
    Thanks in advance.

    It is hard to tell what your problems are without any code at all (I saw your images, but that doesn't make it easy to see what is wrong in your code). If you do post code, please use code tags (see button above posting box).
    I've seen your MouseListener problem before--we had the exact same issue in our code at work. It would freeze up while it processed all of the mouse events (unbearably slow). I'm not at work right now, so I don't recall how it was fixed. Essentially, you need to only process the event periodically. You need to only update the image if the mouse switches squares. Or, only update the image if the distance from the last mouse event is more than some specified amount. We might also have checked the time difference between mouse events before processing a new one. I could look at the code at work tomorrow, if you are still having trouble.

  • 1 gen ipod user having some problems with click wheel

    hello forms,
    I have a 4 gb 1gen black ipod nano and lately ive beem having problems with the click wheel.The problem is that when i wnt to skip to the next song fast forward etc. it takes alot of pressure to make it change song fast forward etc. and i was wondering i know my ipod is out of the whatever day warrenty but I havent done anything wierd or stupid with my ipod so would this still be covered by warrenty as a defect.

    Either way, as the iPod is out of warranty, it will be expensive to repair/replace if you ask Apple to do it. Take it to a store by all means, but also consider 3rd party options.
    iPodResQ.com are highly thought of in the Mac community.

  • I'm having some problem with Text imported from Motion into FCPro

    Hey Everyone.
    I've got an animation that I created in Motion.
    The format for the timeline in Motion is NTSC DV 4:3
    Final Cut has the same attributes to the sequence.
    I have text on my graphic.... Some of it looks great. Some of it does not.
    You can see it here.
    http://www.drewwfilms.com/Temp/McClure/Graphic.html
    The word "Show" looks terrible, where as the other text looks great.
    I do have a filter on the word show... actually it's not even a filter it's just one of the style parameters which is Outline and Face. The outline attribute has a bit of a blur on it.
    Still i would think this would copy over into final cut without and issue but for some reason it looks really bad.
    Anyone have any ideas on this?
    Thanks.
    -Fraky

    Your problem stems from the bright red on a dark background. It is particularly noticable on text because it is a uniform color.
    You might have other elements in your movies that use this exact shade and it wiil happen there, but it is less noticable because that element consists of multiple tones and is probably moving.
    Very saturated, bright reds always cause problems in video. It is a limitation of the medium.
    If you want to learn more about this facinating subject, the keywords are *Chroma Rise Time*.
    The solution: desaturate and/or lighten the red, change the color completely or live with it.
    Once I render. I get the pixelation.
    Your Motion clip is being rendered to your NTSC DV Sequence setting which is 1:5 compression.
    The problem with the red is only made worse due to this.

  • Hello, I'm having some problems with caller ID

    Hi
    I've just got a blackberry pearl from a friend (which I love!!) but am having problems with the ID when I receive texts and calls. The text messages ID's come up as numbers (eg +447789*******) rather than the persons name. So I changed all the numbers in the contact list to show +44 at the beginning. And now when people call me its just coming up with numbers and not showing their names and the numbers are shown without +44 at the beginnging. Please can someone advise me how to stop this.The blackberry is about a year old and I've just starting using itHoping you can help.

    There could be any one of three solutions... Try these:
    1. Make sure you set your own country code at Phone Dialer Screen > Options > Smart dialing.
    Set your country code in this format: "+xx" where xx = your country code. Some countries have two or three digit Country Codes. Do not place the '+' in your contact's entry.
    * In the US, set this Country Code as "+1", and place your loca area code in the proper box (this normally the default setting in a new BB).
    2. At the same location, change the National Number Length to the number of digits for your country (since some countries will have less than 10 as set as the default in the BB). Find out the total digits, minus the country code. Do not place the '+' in your contact's entry.
    * For example, some countries have a total number to 8 (plus 3 for country code). You would enter "8".
    3. You may have "Content Protection" set on your Address Book.
    Look at Options > Security > General Settings. Scroll down to Content Protection > Include Address Book = NO.
    1. If any post helps you please click the below the post(s) that helped you.
