Trouble with my WRT54GS

Hi!
I just bought a Linksys WRT54GS. I'm having trouble with limited speed when I connect to the router, wireless. It's limited to about 2,5-3,5mbit. When I connect the computer to the router with a cable I get full speed. I've got 5mbit, so it really shouldn't be a problem. Any idea what could cause this problem?
My english is a bit rusty, but I hope you understand.
Thanks!

Change the channel on the router. This may be a possible case of interference then try disabling all the active firewalls on the computer.

Having trouble with my WRT54GS

I've just set up my router and am trying to get my new windows 7 laptop to connect to it wirelessly. I enter in the network passcode to access the network and it tells me it is the wrong passcode. I just created it and can pull up the router itself to confirm the password. Why can I not connect?

Also make sure to give your router a unique SSID as you maybe trying to connect to another wireless network.
Router passwords and keys used to connect to wireless networks are also not the same.
I agree with sabretooth, to disable the security to isolate the issue. Do post back for updates.

Try using the software CD that came with the router.

Regarding a WRT54G: Firmware and trouble with Vista

Hey all,
First of all, this is my first post here on this board so please don't have me assassinated if I skipped some board rules/policy. I'm trying to find a solution to my problem a.s.a.p.
My first question is: what's up with the firmware versions and my router's modelname? When I bought the router I got it in a box saying WRT54G (v1.1) with firmware version 4.30.7. As a first step getting the problem described below solved, I downloaded the latest Linksys firmware for a WRT54G v1.1 from this website. After the firmware update my router now seems to be known as a WRT54GL and next to that my firmware version number didn't increase, it deacreased to 4.21.1. I don't know about you guys but this doesn't seem logical to me. Any explanations? Also the firmware's date seems to be somewhere back in 2006, isn't this a bit outdated for 'latest' software?
Now onto the next subject: the fact that my Acer notebook keeps losing the wireless signal since Vista. The wireless connection between the router and my notebook has always worked very fast and flawlessly when I ran XP SP2. However, as soon as I install Vista, something odd happens. With the same drivers for my wireless chipset (they're for both XP and Vista) either my notebook keeps losing the wireless signal or the router has trouble providing my Vista notebook with a steady signal. For 30 to 45 minutes I seem to have a steady signal with 5 blocks filled on Windows' signal'O'meter and then suddenly I get disconnected from my router for like 10 seconds to 1 minute. At first it says my connection turned from "local and internet" to "local only" and after a few seconds the entire signal is dead and the wireless tray icon gets covered by that little yellow triangle. Without interfering it'll take up to a minute at most and the connection will be back as it was before. However, this minute is just enough to mess up skype sessions, downloads, streams, you name it. To be honest, I haven't got the faintest idea what might cause this. Does anyone of you have?
N.b.
- I think I've noticed the issue occuring more frequent during high bandwidth usage like downloading with 2.5 to 3 MB/s but I'm not very sure about that.
- My notebook hasn't moved an inch over the past years and there are no other devices added in my house that might interfere with the signal.
- I've tried all the eleven channels.
- I've set up a dualboot system on my notebook with XP SP2 and guess what, problem is gone when I use XP SP2 again.
- I'm using an Atheros AR500G wireless adapter.
- I'm only using Acer's drivers for the wireless adapter, not their useless resources consuming utility that "manages my wireless settings". Which seem to be Acer's words for slowing sh1t down a lot!
- I'm using exactly the same internet security software with Vista as with XP SP2. Turning this software off won't help in any way.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
G.

First thing which you can check is the Model number of your Router. Flip the router upside down and below you will find the Model number of your Router and version number. Make sure it is WRT54G or WRT54GL. As you have mentioned that previously the firmware on your Router was 4.30.7, Basically that's the Firmware version of WRT54GL Router.
Since you have already upgraded the firmware on your Router, Have you resetted your Router and re-configured all the settings back on your Router? If not then you can do it now.
While Configuring the settings on your Router you need to change the Wireless Channel to 11.
Now you can try to connect to your Wireless Network and check if you are able to go Online.
The model on the router itself says WRT54G.
I've already resetted and reconfigured the router several times, doesn't help. Also tried all the 11 channels.
And yes, I am able to go online but the problem described in my first post still exists. I don't see why switching channels would solve it anyway since it's clearly a problem caused by the router in combination with Vista, it's not signal strength related. But like I said, I tried all the channels anyway.
Is it possible for a Linksys employee to take a look at this topic? Are there some known issues with a WRT54G and Vista and/or an Atheros AR5005G chipset? Is my hardware and software supported by the WRT54G at all?

TO ALL THOSE HAVING TROUBLE WITH ICHAT AND AIM ON MACBOOKS

I've had a lot of trouble with AIM and iChat on my new Macbook, but I believe I've figured out the answers to all the problems I and others have encountered.
Firstly, for those who's AIM continually crashes and displays the message "The application AIM unexpectedly shut down," my answer to your problem is too many sent messages. Watch the bar in the bottom left of your chat window, when it reaches red, your application will probably shut down.
Secondly, for those experiencing difficulties with iChat, it's most likely a problem with communitcation between your wireless router and your computer. Try these steps:
1. From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
2. From the View, choose Sharing.
3. Click the Firewall tab.
4. Click New.
5. From the Port Name pop-up menu, choose Other.
If you have a Macbook, you'll probably have a TCP Port Number Bar and a UDP Port Number Bar. Try these steps:
1. In the TCP Port Number(s) Bar, type: 5190, 5298
2. In the UDP Port Number(s) Bar, type: 1024-5219, 5221, 5223-65535
3. In the Description Bar, type: iChat AV
4. Click OK
5. Click Start above the window with your firewall settings, and make sure the box next to iChat AV is checked
6. Relaunch iChat
Good Luck! I hope this solves some of the problems that people have been encountering.

My Linksys is the WAG54G, which might be different from your WRT54G. Currently, UPnP is disabled and the Router ports are a bit of a mystery, because they're forwarded to an IP address that's outside of the current DHCP Address Range! Once I got it working, I was reluctant to change it even though it looked anomalous.
The Firewall is on, with the iChat ports open that I listed in the previous post.
My two regular buddies are my sons, who both use Trillian Pro on a Windows machine. Works pretty well despite occasional freezes or garbled sound.
Hope you get sorted soon.

Help with the WRT54g

Hi, I have been having trouble with my internet connection ever since I purchased a PC running Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit). I have a total of 3 PCs an Xbox 360 (all wired) and a Wii on the wireless. I have never had any problem with the internet connection until I connect the PC running Vista. If I unplug the computer running Vista the other connections run great. The interenet will run for a long time in some instances but will at other times disconnect every few minutes. I have tried searching google for solutions, called HP support and Linksys support and no one has been able to help. The Wrt54g v.8 is brand new, just bought it about 3 weeks ago after the last one died. I have made sure that all firmware is up to date. If anyone has any advice that could fix this annoying problem I would appreciate it. Thanks a lot.

Thanks, I changed the settings, and I already had the MTU set at 1400. We will see if that helps. Thanks again for the replies

Trouble with my UPnP option

I am using a WRT54G wireless router. The games I play are suddenly haveing trouble with my router, saying my NAT is restricted, and that I should enable my UPnP option in the administration tab of my router controls. I got on fine, went to the tab, found the option, and it WAS already enabled. So I disabled it, saved the changes, and enabled it agian, then saved the changes. It is still giving me the same messages, and same trouble. Anyone out there have a suggestion?

Who is your ISP...?
Have you opened ports for the game on router...?
Which game you are trying to play..?
Are you playing the game on PC or on any Gamin Console..?

Searching on the web, most results I found lead to this page, where it is said that the problem is due to badly tuned overcurrent protection, and advocated that unplugging and switching off the computer for a little while gets things back into normal. This does not really work for me; the problem seems to occur more randomly, unfortunately with high probability (my camera is available after less than one boot out of ten).
I tried to ensure that the ehci-hcd module is loaded at boot with the ignore-oc option (with a file in /etc/module-load.d/), to no avail.
I also wrote a script which alternatively removes and reloads the ehci-pci driver until my device is found in lsusb. It is sometimes helpful, but usually not. And even when my device is found that way, it can only be used for a while before disappearing again.
Anyway, such a hack is unacceptable... So, my questions are:
is it indeed related to overcurrent protection ?
is there anything else I can try ?
should I file somewhere an other of the numerous bug reports about "unable to enumerate USB device" already existing ?
If of any importance, I am running linux 3.15.7, because at the time I installed my system, I couldn't get the hybrid graphic card Intel/AMD working under 3.16.

Hello Sue,
I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

Trouble with OR in where clause

Hello,
I'm having trouble with execution speed. The problem seems to be with using OR in my where clause.
Here's the meat of the function where i_pledge_number is an input parm:
BEGIN
SELECT /*+ INDEX (pp) */ SUM(pp.prim_pledge_amount)
INTO return_amount
FROM
primary_pledge pp
WHERE
-- Get total if multiple allocations
pp.prim_pledge_number IN
(SELECT pc.pledge_number
FROM pledge_codes pc
WHERE pc.pledge_code_type = 'M'
AND pc.pledge_code = 'AC'
AND lpad(pc.pledge_comment,10,'0') = i_pledge_number)
-- Get total if single allocation
OR pp.prim_pledge_number = i_pledge_number;
RETURN return_amount;
END;
If I comment out either half of the OR statement (either the subquery or the pp.prim_pledge_number = i_pledge_number half) the function returns a value in .02 seconds. If I leave the OR in, it takes 2.764 seconds to execute?? Can someone please show me a better way (faster) to do this? I tried using nvl() around the subquery but couldn't get it to compile.
Thanks

These things are difficult to diagnose remotely, but here is something you can try....
SELECT */ SUM(pp.prim_pledge_amount)
INTO return_amount
FROM   primary_pledge pp
WHERE pp.prim_pledge_number IN (SELECT pc.pledge_number
                                 FROM pledge_codes pc
                                 WHERE pc.pledge_code_type = 'M'
                                 AND pc.pledge_code = 'AC'
                                 AND lpad(pc.pledge_comment,10,'0') = i_pledge_number
UNION ALL
SELECT i_pledge_number FROM dual)
   RETURN return_amount;
END;If that doesn't do anything (and it might well not) there are a large number of different ways we can recast this query. To save us further guessing please give us more details: execution plans, database version number, volumetrics.

A trouble with "LIKE" in a select statement

Hi!
I'm having trouble with "LIKE" in a select statement...
With Access I can make the following and everything works well:
SELECT name, birthday
FROM client
WHERE birthday LIKE '*/02/*';
but if try to do it in my application (it uses Access), it doesn't work - I just can't understand that!!!
In my application the "month" is always the currently month taken from the "System". Look what I'm doing...
String query1 = "SELECT name, birthday " +
          "FROM client " +
          "WHERE birthday " +
          "LIKE '*/" +
          pMonth +
          "/*' " +
          "ORDER BY birthday ASC ";
ResultSet rs = statement1.executeQuery(consulta1);
boolean moreRecords = rs.next();
The variable "moreRecords" is always "false", the query returns nothing although the table "client" has records that attend the query.
Please, anyone can help me?! It's a little bit urgent.
Thanks,
Katia.

Hi Katia,
I'll bet the problem lies with the characters you're using to escape the LIKE clause. You're using the ones that Access likes to see, but that's not necessarily what's built into the JDBC-ODBC driver class.
You can find out what the correct escape wildcard characters are from the java.sql.DatabaseMetaData.getSearchStringEscape() method. It'll tell you what to use in the LIKE clause.
I'm not 100% sure about your code. It doesn't use query1 anywhere. I'd do this:
String query = "SELECT name, birthday FROM client WHERE birthday LIKE ? ORDER BY birthday ASC";
PreparedStatement statement = connection.createStatement(query);
String escape = connection.getMetaData().getSearchStringEscape();
String test = escape + '/' + pMonth + '/' + escape;
statement.setString(1, test);
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery();
while (rs.hasNext())
// load your data into a data structure to pass back.
rs.close();
statement.close();Let me know if that works. - MOD

(Trouble printing) Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510.

Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510. (Nothing Prints).
I have a Macbook Pro and am having difficulty printing documents from ‘Pages' from my Hp Deskjet 1510. I have installed the necessary software for the printer and it is connected via USB. Every time I try to print the printer icon comes up as it should, 'printing' and then 'job completed' and then the icon disappears. (Nothing is printed.) I thought it might be something to do with Pages compatibility with the printer but exporting the document to Word or making it a PDF doesn’t change anything. I don’t have Microsoft Word on my computer. The scanner does work and when I printed a ‘Test Page’ that worked too.
Let me know if you know why this is happening.

With these settings the network now works flawlessly, however, when i have my ethernet cable plugged in, my internet access via my airport card(on the macbook pro) is no longer available. Hoping you can tell me why this would be with this info i've provided.
Educated guess. The networking devices have priorities as to which are used. The standard order is that Ethernet has a higher priority than Airport.
While your Ethernet is unplugged it is inactive and the Mac ignores it. Once you plug it in, the Mac sees that it is active and switches traffic to that interface.
I actually take advantage of this feature at home, but configuring my Airport and Ethernet with identical fixed IP addresses. Normally I'll use Airport, but if I'm copying a huge file and I want faster performance, I'll just walk my MacBook (previously iBook, previously Powerbook) over to my Ethernet switch and plug in my MacBook. Magically, the Mac detects that the Ethernet is active and continues the file transfer uninterrupted over the faster 100baseT Ethernet connection. When the transfer is finished, or if I really need to move back to the Comfy Chair, I unplug the Ethernet cable, and all activity reverts back to the Airport, all without disrupting any existing networking connections.
You on the other hand have totally different settings for your Ethernet and your Airport, so when you switch to Ethernet, you basically loose your Airport connections.
Something you can try:
System Preferences -> Network
Gear icon on the bottom left, next to the [+] [-] icons.
Select *Set Service Order...*
Now Drag the network interfaces into the perfer priority order you want. In this case put Airport above Ethernet.
NOTE: You may want to create a new Network Location for this, instead of messing with your normal home Location (which is most likely the default Automatic. That way you have your original you can always fall back to.

Edge Animation having troubles with iOS devices within Muse Site

Hi All! I've been creating a mobile version of my website www.rinkdesigns.com and have it all complete. I created an animation/navigation bar within Adobe Edge Animate and imported it into Muse. It functions AMAZINGLY on my Nexus 4 (Android) in Chrome but on a buddies iPhone 5 Chrome only loads about 3/4 of the animation/nav bar, in Safari the animation does not load at all and half of the page background does not load either. Please check out the preview site here http://rinkdesignsmobile.businesscatalyst.com/phone
Has anyone else been having animation/mobile troubles with iOS devices? Any hints as to how you fixed your errors would be extremely helpful! I also posted this question in the Muse forum and haven't gotten a response...
Thanks,
John

Or, how about this:
Does anyone know how to have Edge Animate objects that utilize "_top" in an open url trigger make the Muse site that they are a part of open a new window/tab with that action (as opposed to having it open the url in the current page, or using "_blank" in the trigger)?

Trouble with 3rd party VST installs for Garageband, can't find instruments

Hi,
I am having trouble with Audio Units for Garageband when installing 3rd party software, VSTs, loops, instruments. I have more issues with Logic Pro. I am hoping that it is the same underlying issue and that I am just missing something. I have the manuals (not great for troubleshooting). I am confused with some installs use User Library and others use the Computer Library. I do go to the mfgs sites for updates. The installs sometimes work as standalones but I don't see ALL of the components of the software in say Garageband or Logic. Mostly, I am missing the "instruments" and "loops" that I want to access within the DAW. Some examples:
• Here is some of the software I am talking about: East West sample libraries (Play and Native Instruments); Vienna Symphonic librarires; Sylenth1 (just last night); Sample Tank 2 and Total Workstation 2 from IK Multimedia and others.
• In GB I see the Audio Units for Vienna, Play, Sylenth, some of the IK Multimedia but NOT any instruments when I go to the "Sound Generator" -- I seem to be missing the instruments and loops. I see less AUs in Logic Pro. Some of these are VST instruments.
• Can I just drag-drop samples to the library folders to fix this?
• The plug-ins do not seem to work (though Sylenth1 worked for a single sound). When there is a standalone app (as in Sample Tank), I finally got the "sounds" to be reinstalled and loaded, those sounds/samples don't show up in any DAW.
• When and if the sounds/loops/samples show up in GB's "Instruments" section will I be able to tell that they belong to that particular software or library?
Thanks in advance.

Found the answer myself, it was simple:
• Select the Track
• Show the Instrument (info area)
• Click on Edit
• Click on the "Sound Generator" pop up field.
• At the bottom of the pop-up list, select from the Audio Units that you have installed. This is where you see "Sample Tank 2, Vienna Instruments..."
• NEXT -- IMPORTANT: CLICK ON THE PICTURE next to the Sound Generator pop-up field.The AU unit loads up, the interface pops up, you load up the instruments in this AU Unit. You do NOT see the sounds from the AU unit in the normal Apple instrument list.
This was not intuitive but once you know it, fairly simple.
Still, the devil is in the details -- more questions on the way.
