Windows 7 has bleep terrible internet connectivy issues due to linksys router!!!

Well, its a really long story that lasts for a total of 6 months, and I solved some of the problems, but more just kept coming.I will tell you the problems I am having now, to shorten up the story. So In late Nov of 2009 I upgraded my toshiba windows vista 64-bit computer to windows 7 64-bit, with 4GB ram. So anyway, this computer is pretty good, fast, and I keep it in good care. However, internet connectivy issues are the only bad thing. From my 6 month experience with these ongoing internet issues, I have concluded that that problems now are: the computer cannot connect to the home network because authication has failed, but I KNOW for a fact the I typed in the secuity password to my network correctly and got all the secuity settings and network name correct!!! Secondly, I am having the ip conflict with another pc on my network, but I dont think this is the cause for preventing me from loading any pages on the internet, since I changed the ip address manuelly of the other pc to something else.
So right now I really only have that one problem. I figure this is due to miscommucations with my pc and the router. The weird thing is sometimes I am able to do everything on the internet with no problems, but only sometimes. This is what happens, I cannot connect to my network or get disconnected, my internet is very very slow, the pages will load but be blank.
I am using wireless, and roadrunner, so yes broadband.
I dont know the soluation really, but I do know that all the other computer and devices on my network(2 wireless pcs, one wired into the router, 2 ipods, a wii, xbox360) all connect great, but my computer is the only one that runs windows 7 and was made by toshiba.
Other information I need to tell you???
Please help me!
You will be making me very happy, and destroying my stress.
Thanks, and best regurads to you all struggling with issues or helping resolve them.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for the help guys, but I finally was able to buy a new router. All I know is linksys routers dont work so well, espeically bad with windows 7-
this is what my experiences would tell me. Anyway the new router works pretty good so far. I haven't been disconnected from the internet yet, so
that's a good sign.
Thanks, again.
p.s So I didn't try any of your guys methods of solving the issue, but thanks.

Hi.. My internet and wifi are working on samsung phone and hp laptop but its not getting connected to iphone ipad, only skype is coming online rest all apps and safari show no internet connection. Got new linksys router WRT160NL , but situation same. Tried reboot, renew lease, forget network, reset network setting. Pls advice

Have you tried a simple reset of your iPod to see if that helps? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, have you tried any of the troubleshooting mentioned in this Apple support document?

I started to have connectivity issues with a linksys router. The linksys rep suggested ...Check from Apple if they have some particular ports for the Apple TV that we might need to open on the router, anyone have any suggestions for this?

3. Sometime there is no internet connection even after trying all possible tuneing but internet connection become alive again if we reboot router.
All these problems appear randomly on different computers. Can anyone tell what's the reason of all these problems and how can fix it?

I have the just similar problem since few days , for long time I have no issues with wireless router
I have five static IP addresses I am using 1 static IP for the Router and other for the internal use
I though it was my inter provider technical issue,
The internet is working through provider gateway router but not through a Cisco SA520W
some times it works some time it wont resolve host name, internal LAN works perfect ,but internet drops packets and it is very slow
If we dynamically setup the router, it works but not for the static IP address
my old configuration is not saved , reset to factory defaults even then it did not work
I do have 24 port cisco switch when I login there is no gui console just blank blue screen with text boxes
I appreciate some can guide.
I believe we need the update firmware on both devices .I appreciate for the help
Thanks

it worked fine, i used the "" on the WEP key and now
i got a successful connection to the router.
Does the iMac have a valid IP address ie not a 169.x.x.x style address?
But
still, i cant connect to the internet...
If you have a valid IP address
In a browser try http://17.254.0.91

Internet Explorer issue In Windows 8.1

In IE 11 in Windows 8.1 I found below issue:
1) I found out that browser cache in Windows 8.1 is stored in “InetCache” folder which is located at C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache. But when this folder is accessed from windows explorer, the contents shown are different from, when
it is accessed through Browser Tools->Internet Options->General->Browsing history->Settings->View files.
2) Now go to above said path (mentioned in #1 issue)from cmd. Now run dir command we see that it lists out some files and directory name.Even though we delete everything from C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache by selecting (ctrl+A->shift+delete).
Can anyone help me in knowing why it does not delete everything from folder C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache when we clear all the item? What is the purpose of the file that is listed out in cmd (like counters.dat, low directory etc)?
3)How this directory can be deleted? When I delete the C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Low, again it gets created. How we can can delete counters.dat file from INetCache folder. What is the purpose of this dat file.
4) The issue mentioned In #2 and #3 are also seen in Windows 7.
Please help me in knowing the answer of the above question.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
1) I found out that browser cache in Windows 8.1 is stored in “InetCache” folder which is located at C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache. But when this folder is accessed from windows explorer, the contents shown are different from, when
it is accessed through Browser Tools->Internet Options->General->Browsing history->Settings->View files.
Do you mean that you're unable to find the file path via File Exploerer, some files\folders are hidden and system protected, we need to go to control panel\Folder Options\View, then check Show hidden files & folders option, but also uncheck Hide protected
operating system files/folders option, then you will find the files.
2) Now go to above said path (mentioned in #1 issue)from cmd. Now run dir command we see that it lists out some files and directory name.Even though we delete everything from C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache by selecting
(ctrl+A->shift+delete). Can anyone help me in knowing why it does not delete everything from folder C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache when we clear all the item? What is the purpose of the file that is listed out in cmd (like

3)How this directory can be deleted? When I delete the C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Low, again it gets created. How we can can delete counters.dat file from INetCache folder. What is the purpose of this dat file.
Regarding to Q2 and 3, I tested this issue, same result as yours, after I delet all the files under the cache folder, but the result of dir is still shown as below:
First the "Low" folder is to cache files when running IE in protected mode. the cache is considered as a virtual folder with the same low privilege as that of the Internet Explorer process itself. Regarding to the counters.dat file, and here is a

since I have confidence that my machine is not get infected, so the.dat file should be a default file, I will do more research and test for the file, will inform you if I got any progress.

Since downloading and installing the current update of Yosemite on my MacBook Air using the Internet on my Hevanet server has become a rather useless effort due to unreasonable slowness

Since downloading and installing Yosemite 10.10 on my MacBook Air, using the Internet via Safari on my Hevanet server has become a rather useless effort due to unreasonable slowness and frequent Gmail crashes when I actually do manage to get through to the Internet.

What exactly is crashing?

If it has a cloud icon it means its no longer on your device. Tapping on the cloud will effectively reinstall the App from scratch to your device.
There is no way to remove it from the cloud because its not yours to remove from there. Its the general App repository, you are just given access to it to download content you've already purchased.

Windows has recovered from a serious error

Hi all, I've been reading a lot about overclocking and I finally started today. I have set my FSB to 233, and I have been trying to find the lowest voltage I can run it at. 1.6 works fine but I tried going lower. This resulted in a spontaneous reboot. After windows booted back up when I increased the voltage, the windows error reporting dialog came up and said "windows has recovered from a serious error..." So I send the report... and internet explorer opens with a little info. It says the crash was due to a problem with a driver but does not mention a specific driver. does this osund familiar to anyone? are there any drivers i should investigate or replace? thanks a lot for your help!

often with overclocking you will see 'file not found' BSODs on startup. It is reasonable to assume that our overclock may have upset a driver, driver component or driver associated file.
Don't sweat it, as long as your not on that vCore now there should be no damage done to Windows.
Have to admit I've had "Windows has...serious error" before following a vCore increasment on an AMD board.

Windows Intergrated Authentication with reverse proxy issue with Safari

Hi All
I having a application which has Windows Integrated Authentication, for Internet users we are having a reverse proxy which has a IIS server which will authenticate using basic authentication then redirected to the actual application, every thing works as expected in IE and firefox but in safari there is a second login dialog box appears. When I did a packet capture using wireshark I noticed that in IE and FF the basic authentication which is carried forward to the actual application from IIS server but in Safari there is a NTLM negotiation in between because there is a 401 response so my application asks for on more login dialog. Dose any one knows why safari is behaving like this?
Thanks & Regards

TS1398 Has anyone had WiFi connectivity issues with their iPhone 5 after accepting the latest IOS 8.0.2?

Has anyone had WiFi connectivity issues at home with their iPhone 5 after accepting the recent IOS 8.0.2 update?

Yes, despite being it an iPhone5 (8.0.2) attempting to connect to an Airport Express.
In my case the iPhone "connects" to Airport Express 2nd generation, but no Internet packages are available; Airport Utility shows the Airport Express as not connected to the Internet; but the iMac, MBP, Motorola phone, Samsung Smart TV and HP printer connect without any trouble.
The actual issue is the DHCP :
sometimes the iPhone gets none, and
when an address is assigned it just doesn't work,
even renewing the address won't work all the times,
switching off and on the WiFi won't work all the times neither,
going on Airplane mode, then back won't work all the times.
Solutions attempted and failed:
Reseting and reconfiguring Airport Express;
Reseting iPhone;
Switching off and on the iPhone;
Setup the DHCP renewal for every 5 days;
Meditation and stark visualisation;
Other possible patch not yet attempted : setting fixed IP addresses
All suggestions received resemble Windows' "Plug & Pray"
I gave up after reading several notes around the WWW complaining about it.
Last credible suggestion : wait for 8.0.3 or 8.1, whichever fixes the issue first.

Window has detected and IPS Address Conflict

     To Whom this my concern, I keep getting this message, which, I had mention in the subject line. I have reset my wifi box and the box, that Charter gave me quit a few times. But, this message keeps on coming up, for some odd reason or another.
     I was just wondering. I had a Hp Lap Top 2000, that some one had stoolen off me, quit a few months, ago. I reported it to the police station and HP and they said that they could not do anything about it. Because, I absolutely lost my serial number, that I had written down.
    But, I used the same email addresses and Passwords on both computes. So, I was just a wondering if the person could be useing the lap top, that I had gotten stoolen from me and this is the way, this is why this message keeps popping up on my computer.
    Oh, I even called up Charter and mention it to them and they absolutely could not figure out what is going on either. So, I just thought, that I would text it on the internet. To see if any one absolutely knew what was going on.
Well, if you want to get in touch with me. My email address it [Personal Information Removed] or

If you could help me out. I would appreciate it and awful lots.

Hi @Rockiebates1949 ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your Window has detected and IPS Address Conflict on your Home Network. This error message indicates that another computer on the network is using the same IP address that your computer is using. Each computer on a network must have a unique IP address. To fix this problem, run the Network troubleshooter.
I hope this helps.
Thanks.

EA6900 Internet Connection Issue - Desktop connected via ethernet cable

Hi there,
I have an HP p6837c, 64-bit OS with Windows 7 Home Premium. It is directly connected to the EA6900 via ethernet cable. My internet connection constantly drops (as in variably every 5 seconds to 5 minutes) then re-establishes itself. I have no internet connection issues when directly connected to the modem. All of the wirelss devices that are connected via the EA6900 are working without any issue. My husband's laptop, which has Windows 8.1, functions with no problem when directly connected to the EA6900 via ethernet cable. We've tried swapping out the cable. We've tried adjusting the MTUs per Support's suggestion. Nothing has solved the issue
Any thoughts on what the issues might be? Settings? The version of Windows? Any help would be much appreciated!

Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations
What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
What ISP Modem Mfr. and model # do you have?
Is ISP Modem/Service using Dynamic or Static WAN IP addressing?
What ISP Modem service link speeds UP and Down do you have?
Check cable between Modem and Router and PC, swap out to be sure. Link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAT6 is recommended.
Check ISP MTU requirements, Cable is usually 1500, DSL is around 1492 down to 1472. Call the ISP and ask.
I recommend that you have your ISP check the cabling going to the ISP modem, check signal levels going to the ISP modem. For cable Internet, RG-6 coaxial cable is needed, not RG-59. Check for t.v. line splitters and remove them as they can introduce noise on the line and lower the signal going to the ISP modem. Connecting to the ISP modem could result in a false positive as the signal to the modem could be just enough to that point then adding on a router, could see problems. The router operation is dependent upon getting good data flow from the ISP modem and the modem is dependent upon getting good signal from the ISP Service.
Router and Wired Configurations
Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices ON the router. This ensures each devices gets its own IP address when turned on and connected, eliminates IP address conflicts and helps in troubleshooting and maintain consistency for applications that need to connect as well as mapped drives.
Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
If http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipv6 is an option on the router, select Local Connection Only.
PC 3rd Party Security Software Configurations
Turn off all anti virus and firewall programs on PC while testing. 3rd party firewalls are not generally needed when using routers as they are effective on blocking malicious inbound traffic.
Router Placement
Forum User - "Well I feel really dumb. After moving the router away from other electronic devices my speeds are back to normal. Just a heads up for anyone experiencing slow speeds, you might want to move it away from other electronics and see if that helps."
3-6' feet minimum safe distance between devices.
Placement on main level floor and central in the building and WELL ventilated is preferred. Not in basements or closets as building materials, or near by electronics devices could interfere or hinder good signal propagation.
