Windows 7 64 bit has problems with Actiontec MI424WR while wired with wireless radio off

I have discovered an issue with Windows 7 64 bit OS.  My attempted set up was to havea 802.11n Belkin Play router connected to my Actiontec MI424WR router as a wireless access point with the MI424WR wireless radio turned off.  This worked fine for my XP 32 bit PC, my Windows 7 32 bit PC, and my 2 Windows 7 64 bit laptops using wireless.  A problem arose when I tried wired connections on the Windows 7 64 bit laptops and a Windows 7 64 bit PC. 
While wired, internet would drop either completely or intermittently but too frequently to be useful.  Tech support had no idea what to do or what caused it.  It was reproducible after a reset of the router and then turning off the wireless radio.
I could fix it by turning on the wireless radio again, but I had hoped to turn it off and only use wireless from the 802.11n router.
Any ideas?
Brian

Did you disconnect wireless on the 2 Windows 7 64 bit machines while testing wired?
What is the connection between the Actiontec and the Belkin?  LAN-to-WAN or LAN-to-LAN?
If the connection is LAN-to_LAN, the wireless connection on each machine would have obtained a DHCP address from the Actiontec.  When you connected wired, you would have gotten a new IP address based on the different MAC address of the wired NIC, resulting in the machine having 2 IP addresses.  This may not be readily apparent on the Actiontec main status page as the second connection will get a generated name of "new-host-xx" (the router can't reuse the same PC name for 2 different IP addresses).  Windows should be able to keep the two connections on the same subnet straight, but I've seen WIndows do stranger things.
If the connection is LAN-to-WAN, the Belkin must have a different subnet address than the Actiontec (e.g.. 192.168.2.x).  Now, if you connect both wired to the Actiontec (192.168.1.x) and wireless via the Belkin (192.168.2.x), Windows is going to have connections to two different subnets with two different gateway routers. Without explicit routing rules, Windows won't know which gateway to use.

    I have an existing new belkin modem router which works fine with quiet a few wired and wireless products in my house. My question is if i buy a time capsule can i put it in another room and wirelessly connect it to the belkin modem router, I would then just like my macbook pro and (imac future purchase) to wirelessly back up to it???????????

    Your will need to perform a Factory Default Reset on the TIme Capsule to clear out the current network settings and then reconfigure it to "join" your wireless network using the AirPort Utility setup application.
    To perform the Factory Default Reset on the Time Capsule....
    Pull the power cord from the back of the device
    Wait a few moments
    Hold in the reset button on the back of the Time Capsule and keep holding it an additional 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power cord back in to the Time Capsule
    Release the reset button after the hold period and allow 25-30 seconds for the Time Capsule to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
    On your Mac.....
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Continue
    Follow the guided setup and choose the "join" option when it appears duriing the setup
    You will need to know the exact type of wireless security that the Belkin router is using to enter this information during the setup of the Belkin. Otherwise, the Time Capsule cannot join the network, and you will receive an error message after the configuration process.

  • Problems with FIOS with ActionTec MI424WR

    I have had FIOS for a couple of months and am having major problems with the internet and the actiontec MI424WR Router:
       I cannot get port forwarding to work.  I have setup several previous routers to do port forwarding to my Windows web server, never had a problem.  Nothing I try on the Actiontec works, all incoming requests are rejected.  Checked Dns, server, everything.
       Wireless works well at first, then slowlly degrades until after a week or so the signal is so weak that wifi traffic slows to a crawl.  Turning off the router and turning it back on fixes this problem.
       Wired Ethernet traffic becomes flaky.  browsing works for a while, then gets flaky, IE and chrome both report that they can't reach web sites, but other apps can still get to internet.  closing browser does not fix issue, rebooting machine does.
    This is the most problematic router I have ever seen. 
    Is there a different brand of router from one of the more respected router compnaies, like Dlink, linksys, or netgear?

    Port forwarding is a little odd the way it's setup.  Took me a couple of days to work it and then it was only by looking at one of the canned protocolsand then emulating it for what I wanted that I made it work.
    For example, if you go into port forwarding and select New Entry and under Protocol select FTP it will display the canned setting for port forwarding to an internal FTP server, all you need to do is add the internal IP address of the local host that has the server.  The confusing thing is that what you see for FTP is TCPany -> 21 whereas I expected it to be TCP21 -> 21.  Means that when you set up your forwarding you typically would be selecting protocol User defined and under that protocol TCP (or whichever you want) the leave source port at ANY and change destination port to Single or Range and enter the value.  Then save it
    Your other questions appear to say that your router maybe not working correctly.

  • Verizon FIOS router Actiontec MI424WR not working with bonjour printing

    Running OS X ver 10.9.3. Have a HPLaserJetP1102w. Just upgraded my Verizon FIOS router to Actiontec MI424WR Rev. I. Now my Mac can no longer find the printer wirelessly (it does, however, work thru USB). I see others have had this problem- and apparently some have solved it by changing settings on the router- but those settings options do not appear under 'advanced' for me. Verizon technical support, including the version one must pay for- was totally and utterly unable to help. Any suggestions for how to rescue this? Was all working perfectly with older Verizon router.

    >It's amazing to me that talkting to 4 or 5 Verizon Tech's, they all say "This is new to me,  I've never heard of this."  Ugh...
    I've had EXACTLY the same experience. Phone support and the techs who come to my home apparently have no idea this has been happening for months and months. Clearly, this issue hasn't filtered down from the network engineers to support.

  • How do I set-up Linksys E3000 with Actiontec MI424WR

    Hi,
    I recently purchased a Linksys E3000 so that I could use it as my primary router instead of the Actiontec MI424WR. I want to use the Wireless N functionality of the new router since the MI424WR does not support that.
    I've researched many forums and have attempted many changes. But, it seems that the instructions available online are geared towards a different FiOS connection than what I have. There were details about setting up the MI424WR as a bridge, ect, but I could not get any to work.
    My Actiontec MI424WR is connected via a coaxial cable, I know there are others connected via a CAT5 cable. I've also read about VOD or CableTV service being disrupted by changing the settings on the Actiontec MI424WR, but I don't think that is the case with my service. This has been part of my confusion with everything I've read.
    Could someone please explain to me, in simple terms, how I can get my Linksys E3000 set-up to work as my primary wireless router?
    Thank you in advance,
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    What revision of the Actiontec do you have?
    Do you have FIOS-TV?  Your post is not clear about that.
    Is it practical for you to run cat5 to the ONT?
    If you want to keep the coax WAN connection, then you must bridge the Actiontec in order for your router to be primary.
    If you can switch to a cat5 WAN connection, then you can connect your router as primary with the Actiontec behind it as a MOCA LAN bridge. You will not lose VOD, guide data or widgets.  Remote DVR and on-screen caller-id will not function properly if your router is primary.
    See this FAQ for different ways you  can connect your router.

  • Replacing Westell 9100EM with Actiontec MI424WR??

    Hi,
    i have fios with westell router, but lately the wifi keep dropping/disconnected
    i have spare actiontec MI424WR, could i replace westell with that? if yes, how to do it? just change it? any config or call to make?
    thanks before 

    should be plug and play, but you will want to release your ip to the westell before you disconnect it.  otherwise your actiontec will never get online.

  • Windows XP failing to acquire network address whether wired or wireless

    Hi guys,
    I initially asked this question elsewhere because it was happening in OSX as well, though now that the OSX side of things has been fixed it is purely a Windows XP problem, and is a different problem to the one in Mac OSX.
    The problem seems simple enough, in that Windows XP just refuses to acquire a network address when connecting to the internet whether wired or wirelessly. I spent the best part of 7 hours on this on Monday, and after trawling through countless web pages I seemed to establish that there was an error with the AFD Driver (which, as I understand, is one of three required for the DHCP Client service to run). I was on the verge of probably doing something monumentally stupid and trying to repair/replace that driver when in a moment of genius (which should have arrived significantly sooner in the day) I asked my fiancee when the last time was that she could remember the internet working properly. She said it was the day before just after she agreed to install SP3, but the installation failed. So I used System Restore and rolled the system back to before that point, et voila. Everything was fine.
    Not appreciating the path taken to fix her iMac, my fiancee then tried to install SP3 again and the same problem reoccurred. Another System Restore fixed it. The problem now is that on startup Windows XP seems to revert back to the same state, and will refuse to acquire an IP address. A System Restore back to the same time will fix it. However, whilst this takes little longer than an actual startup, I was wondering whether or not anybody had any bright ideas for a permanent fix to this problem.
    All ideas, solutions and pearls of wisdom welcomes with open arms.

    Try using a system that is able to connect to the internet in Windows. Then go to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=2FCDE6CE-B5FB-4488-8 C50-FE22559D164E and then download SP3 to the hard drive of that system. Then using the CD/DVD burning of your choice that you have for Windows burn the disc image file to CD/DVD and then insert it to the system that has the issue and upgrade it to SP3 that way.
    I used to use Windows update to get service pack, but one time it did not download and install correctly on an HP system. Since then I have went to Microsoft and downloaded the Service Pack and when it said that it installed successfully I deleted the file I downloaded. I never had issues when I get them and install them that way. The only Service Pack I had issues with was Service Pack 1 for Windows 7. I downloaded it from Microsoft to the hard drive and after it said it was installed successfully I deleted the file. I used it for a while then I shut the system completely down. Then when I booted into Windows I went to put in my password and nothing happened. I tried moving the mouse nothing happened. Then I did a hard reset, booted into Mac OS X, used Boot Cap Assistant, removed the partition, downgraded to Windows XP 32-bit and now miss all the features that come with 64-bit Operating Systems. I am now able to use 2.5GB of RAM out of the 8GB that is in my system. I thought with Windows 32-bit that 4GB what the most that could be used.

  • Problem in Signed Applet while communicating with Javascript

    Hi,
    I’m facing a problem with applet. Applet calls JavaScript methods and vice versa. Applet works fine with JRE 5 to JRE 6 up to build no 1.6.0._7 but it fails with build no 1.6.0_10.
    The problem description is given below:
    After embedding applet in my HTML page using <OBJECT> tag, I’ve to check either any problem during applet’s execution, I want to get the error reason by calling my defined method getErrorReason() in applet that returns the error reason, I call the getErrorReason() against the applet’s object in JavaScript immediately after embed applet code in my HTML page, a JavaScript errors occurs and my applet fails to perform its execution.
    JavaScript error: Object does not support this property.
    The error points to the HTML page area where I’m calling getErrorReason() against applet object.
    The above JavaScript error occurs after the successful completion of Applet’s init(). I’m facing this problem only in JRE 6 build 1.6.0_10-b33.
    Please suggest me any solution.
    Thanks in advance.

    We are using the HttpURLConnection. If I have to go down the stack to the Socket object, well I guess I have to re event the wheel so to speak.
    I have tried both Connection: close and Connection: Keep-Alive. Not at the same time :) but in different intrim releases of test applet.
    // Here is the current incarnation of how I am trying to connect.
    URL url = new URL(sURL);
    trace("attempting to connect to URL: " + sURL, DEBUG);
    connection = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
    connection.setDoOutput(true);
    connection.setDoInput( true );
    connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
    connection.setUseCaches( false );
    connection.setInstanceFollowRedirects( true );
    connection.setAllowUserInteraction( false );
    connection.setRequestProperty("Pragma", "no-cache");
    connection.setRequestProperty("Expires", "-1");
    connection.setRequestProperty("Connection", "Keep-Alive");
    connection.connect();
    // Now I write our form POST data and flush and close the output stream.
    BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream(connection.getOutputStream());
    bos.write(sForm.getBytes());
              bos.flush();
    bos.close();
    // Get the input and read
    bis = new BufferedInputStream(connection.getInputStream());
    trace( "reading input stream for action: " + sAction );
    byte[] responseBuffer = new byte[4096];
    int bytesRead = 0;
    while( (bytesRead = bis.read( responseBuffer, 0, responseBuffer.length )) != -1 )
    sbResponse.append( new String( responseBuffer, 0, bytesRead ));
    totalBytesRead += bytesRead;
    catch (Throwable e)
    e.printStackTrace();
    try
    m_connections.remove( sAction );
    connection.disconnect();
    catch ( Throwable t ) {}
    finally
    if ( bis != null )
    try
    bis.close();
    catch( Throwable t ) {}
    With the above code in place what I am now seeing, as opposed to a premature EOF exception, is blocking behavior on the read.

  • FTP setup with Actiontec MI424WR router

    I've been banging my head against the wall for a few hours now.
    I have a FTP server/device on my network (which I can access just fine internally).  However, I'm not able to access it from outside my network.
    I've forwarded ports 20 & 21 (TCP/UDP) to the device.  It prompts me for my credentials (and will re-prompt me if I type an incorrect username/password), but once I enter valid credentials it gives me error messages (IE says "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage").
    I also have disabled the firewall software on my computer, and set the firewall on the router to "Low", which supposed allows all inbound/outbound traffic.
    But it looks like inbound gets there, it's just a problem w/ the outbound (since it gets to the FTP server's authentication process).
    Any ideas?

    Probably because it's in passive (PASV) mode and using a random port.
    You'd be better off to use something like Filezilla server that allows you more control of the ports that are in use.  You could then define a range of ports to be used in passive mode and forward them too.  Better still would be to use a Secure Ftp server
    I'd also suggest that you don't use the standard FTP ports of 20/21 as you'll find your bandwith width being chewed up by the streams of hackers attempting to break into your server.
