Three different WRT54G failing - what is going on?

Three different, relatively new (last 8 months), WRT54G wireless routers are unreliable. The symptoms are as follows:
  1) Works ok for a day or two
  2) Connect via wireless, it gives a DHCP address, but you cannot browse out to the Internet.
  3) If you connect via a physical ethernet cable, the unit fails to give out an IP address.
  4) Power cycling the router fixes the problem temporarily.
These are all V6 units and after the problem started, I updated to the latest firmware. Problem persists.
There is nothing fancy in the setup. The units are out in the open, not stacked, no air flow restrictions or heat.

Not that I don't appreciate the suggestion, but what does any of those setting have to do with the symptoms described? None of those affect DHCP (which failes over the wired connection, but not the wireless) or over the ability to reach the Internet which is a wired connection, not a wireless one.
(Mod Note: Edited due to non-compliance of forum guidelines.)

  • Gmail correspondence appears in messages, to a completely different person. What's going on?

    Recent oddness: an e-mail thread on my gmail account between myself and person A also appears in Messages in a thread between myself and person B... who hasn't said anything about receiving texts that are obviously not meant for him, nor do these emails appear on my iPhone. I don't understand how and why these two contacts would be linked in any way. And these are the only e-mails, from the million I send everyday, that appear in Messages. Why would this happen?
    Thanks in advance!

        We want your phone working just as well now as it did before your trip, sngbrd9. Are you trying to send the pictures to other Apple users using iMessage or are they being sent through MMS/picture messaging? Are you able to send pictures one at a time to those same contacts without an error? Did you change any settings in your camera to have HDR now instead of a slightly lower resolution with a smaller file size?

  • I can download firefox 4 but when i try to install it, i get "file is corrupt,files can't be extracted." I have deleted the download and re-downloaded three different times. What is the story?

    can't install firefox 4

    Temporarily disable your anti-virus application just long enough to do the Firefox program download.

  • Why is DPM 2012 R2 splitting this Co-located Protection Group Set across three different tapes?

    I have 10 protection groups that ran Saturday night.  I have put information about them in the following table:
    I extracted the data in the table using Get-DPMProtectionGroup CmdLet and the job information from the Monitoring page of the DPM admin console.  As you can see from the tape barcode, DPM wrote the first four PGs to one tape, then started a second
    tape, and finally failed when starting a third because it had run out of free tapes.
    All of the protection groups are assigned to the same "Co-Located Protection Group Set" in the "Tape Optimization Setup" dialog box.
    Prior to the jobs running, I painstakingly ensured that each of the Protection Group's "Select Long-Term Goals" and "Select Library and Tape Details" screens are identical as follows:
    Prior to running the jobs I had already disabled autoclean on the tape library.
    I have checked to see if the tape drive is reporting IO error 0x8007045D using the method described in this blog post:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/dpm/archive/2012/05/14/things-you-can-do-to-help-data-protection-manager-utilize-your-tapes-full-capacity.aspx
    There seems to be no mention of 0x8007045D or -2147023779 in any of the MSDPM*.Errlog files.
    These are LTO6 tapes with a capacity of 2.5 TB each.  The total data for all the jobs put together is less than 300GB.
    Why is DPM 2012 R2 splitting these protection groups across three different tapes? 
    What else should I check for that might cause DPM to start a new tape?

    Hi Mike,
    Thanks for taking a look at the logs.  I just wanted to point out that there were actually two changes made just before collocation succeeded:
    Write Period and Expiry Tolerance were increase
    Full Verbose logging was enabled
    This technet article states that Full Verbose logging affects performance.  If the problem with collocation is caused by a race condition then it is
    possible that enabling logging actually caused collocation to succeed. At this point there doesn’t seem to be any evidence pointing to which of the two changes resulted in collocation succeeding.
    I propose I run the following tests to differentiate the two:
    Test #1 - Collocation Confirmation
    Repeat last weekend's test to confirm that successful collocation wasn't an anomaly.  Configuration:
    full verbose logging: Enabled
    Expiry Tolerance: 1 year
    Write Period: 1 year
    Test #2 - Logging Only
    Test to see whether enabling Full Verbose logging enabled collocation to succeed.  Configuration:
    full verbose logging: Enabled
    Expiry Tolerance: 7 days
    Write Period: 6 day
    Thanks for your help,
    Alex

  • I have tried resetting my photostream several times on three different computers only to get the error message that it can not be reset because of trouble connecting with the servers.  It says the same thing on a sync about contact conflicts.

    I cannot reset my photo stream.  The error message "cannot connect to servers" comes up.  I have the same problem with syncing contact conflicts.  I have logged in on three different computer & networks on three different occasions.  What's the deal?

    Pure Propaganda to make it look good. Icloud Servers  are having issues since days but today it is definately broken and also for me everything is offline, without having changed one setting.
    Look at hundreds of server failures, photostream fails, mail not working..  only recent posts.

  • I have just got an iMac 21" and it continuously freezes when it goes to sleep and also when the internet is trying to load, i have tried three different browsers but it still does it (safari, google chrome and firefox), does anyone know what is wrong?

    I have just got an iMac 21" and it continuously freezes when it goes to sleep and also when the internet is trying to load, i have tried three different browsers but it still does it (safari, google chrome and firefox), does anyone know what is wrong?

    To fix the freezing when sleeping problem go to System Preferences>Energy Saver and set 'Computer Sleep' to 'Never'. It seems there is a problem for some with Bluetooth failing to wake after sleep. This fixes it 100% for me and many others on here, until Apple issue a software update to address it.
    Not sure what to suggest on the internet problem. I assume you are connected and receive and send emails OK.
    Edit: To try to troubleshoot the internet issue maybe try turning the Firewall off: System Preferences>Security & Privacy>Firewall tab.

  • I have three ipods, none of which is being recognized by my itunes. I have the current editions and tried different USB ports. The mouse works just fine in the USB port. I have reset the ipods. Any ideas if it's the USB or the ipod or what's going on?

    I have three ipods, none of which are being recognized by my itunes. I have reset each ipod, with no results. I wonder if the problem isn't with the USB ports. The mouse works fine in each port; nothing happens when I plug in the ipods. I have tried two different USB cables. I have no other USB devices with which to test. I have made sure I have the most recent updates and rebooted the computer.  Any idea what is going on?

What is wrong with it?it won't charge when it's powered on only when it s off then it turns on and stops charging?? What's wrong with it ad how much is a Genius Bar appt at apple stores??

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • In attempt to burn blu-ray, I get QuickTime error 0.  Takes hours to export a 7 minute movie from timeline, then get notice it fails.  What's going on here?

    New problem just started 24 hours ago.  When I try to export from the time line to create a QuickTime file, a 7 minute movie on time line takes 3 hours to export and then the export fails, where as a few days ago, that export would take about 10 minutes at most.  I get the same failure notice when I try to share to blu-ray, DVD, or Vimeo.  Tried to use compressor, no such luck as compressor failed to make a .mov file.  I get QuickTime error 0 message about 5 minutes into trying to share to Blu-Ray now.   Does anyone know what is going on here?  I'm running latest update of Snow Leopard on an intel Mac Pro and the latest update to Final Cut Pro X.  I've also installed QT 7.6.6 to use in creating time lapse movie files.

    Same problem here, too. Final Cut Pro X 10.0.3 on OS 10.6.8. However, it is only doing it on ONE of my projects. A 4-second test project burned successfully.
    I'm  actually going to use iDVD to burn copies for a few people, so I only need the movie file from FCPX.
    Would someone please post best export settings for use on a DVD? In FCPX, the project is  in HD (1080p) with all media optimized to ProRes 442. I know it will have to be down-sampled to DVD resolution, but I've always been curious to know what settings will result produce the best possible quality in DVD resolution.
    Thank you!

  • HT1386 Sry for disturbing, but i would to ask that how to overcome the problem of synchronising ? Itune showing me that the sync session is failed to start with my Ipad mini. Any ideas about what is going on ?

    Sry for disturbing, but i would to ask that how to overcome the problem of synchronising ? Itune showing me that the sync session is failed to start with my Ipad mini. Any ideas about what is going on ?

    What are you trying to sync?
    I see you are on ios 7.
    I also had upgraded my iPad Mini to ios 7 & then the 1st time I tried to open a Numbers file that was set up to sync w my MacBookPro, I got a warning that I would not be able to sync it any more w my Mac until I upgraded to Mavericks.
    So if you are trying to sync Numbers, Pages or Keynote files between your iPad mini in ios 7 and a Mac that hasn't been upgraded to Mavericks that could be the problem.
    I was very shocked to get that message since I bought Numbers on the iPad so that I could have a particular file on both devices & keep them synced. I had no clue when I upgraded to ios 7 on the iPad Mini that it would make it so the files in the iWorks apps woudln't sync any more.
    So I finally decided to go ahead & upgrade to Mavericks after carefully preparing & updating other software so that it would work w Mavericks. But I got error messages so haven't even been able to download Mavericks & now having 2nd thoughts about doing so.

  • When I use Preview,Photo Mechanic and Pages, all JPEG or RAW images appear corrupted. I thought my hard drive was failing and replaced it and migrated everything over but the problem still exists. Any idea what is going on?

    When I use Preview,Photo Mechanic and Pages, all JPEG or RAW images appear corrupted.
    I thought my hard drive was failing and replaced it and migrated everything over but the problem still exists.
    It felt as if maybe a virus was at work but I ran Sophos and found nothing.
    I store images on my Drobo Raid system but when I work from my Macbook Pro I have no issues, just on the tower.
    Any idea what is going on?

    First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

  • Help! My Bluetooth keyboard doesn't match! What I mean is that when I type the letter "h" on the keyboard it shows up as if I typed a different letter.  None of the letters match!  What is going on?

    The missing Albums may be ones where the Artist is not listed as also being the Album Artist in the tag.  Try going to Settings>Music and turn Group By Album Artist to Off.  See if the missing albums now show in the Artist view.  If so, you can either leave the setting this way, or if you prefer it to be on, go to iTunes on your computer and put the correct name in the Album Artist field of the tag (on the Info tab of the tab) for the albums in question and sync your phone.
