Wireless 5 min blip when turning on desktop?

When I turn on my desktop machine all of my laptops lose wireless connectivity to the Linksys WRT64GL router for about 5 min. After that they will either reconnect automatically or I have to manually tell them to reconnect. It's extremely annoying.
The desktop is wired to a Netgear gigabit switch and the switch is connected to the Linksys router.
Does anyone know why this happens and how to prevent it? I am going to sell this if I cannot resolve this issue.
Thanks!

I switched the desktop to be plugged in directly to the linksys router and the problem went away. Then switched it back to the netgear switch on the same port with the same cable and the problem is still gone. Booted the desktop about 5 times now.
It is generally intermittent but then happens several times in a row.
I am using firmware version 4.30.5, looks like there is one more recent. The release notes don't say anything about the type of problem I am seeing but it shouldn't hurt to update it.
Thanks,

  • Hi I installed a new hard drive in my Mac mini osx lion an when I turn it on I get a flashing file with a question mark. I tried holding command and R keys when turning it on but the recovery fails to work. Does any one know how I can get it to recover?

    Hi I installed a new hard drive in my Mac mini osx lion an when I turn it on I get a flashing file with a question mark. I tried holding command and R keys when turning it on but the recovery fails to work. I can hold the option key at start up and choose my network, then Internet recovery shows up with an arrow pointing up. When I click on the arrow Internet recovery fails and all I get is a globe with a triangle on it with an exclamation mark on it, and under that it says

    Does any one know how I can fix this without a recovery disc? Thanks

    I just want to add to this, in case someone else searches for this error on Apple Support (google doesnt cover apple support.. how clever is that?)
    I had the same error. And i had a Computer that had worked, with a SSD drive and 16GB upgrade done by the owner himself.
    I tried swapping with a Mechinal Harddrive, no luck.
    Kept the Mechanical drive in, and tried with some other Ram, it worked..
    So for me this error and after reading the other responses can be boiled down to a Harddrive problem or Ram issue.
    It was Ram for me..

  • How do I remove Canon " My Image Garden" from the desktop when turning on my computer ?

    How do I remove Canon " My Image Garden" from the desktop when turning on my computer ?  I have the icon but the program starts up and I have to delete it manually  from the desktop to clear my screen for other work...

    Are you using a Windows or a Mac? What you're seeing (the backwards L shaped menu) is probably the Canon Quick Menu. If you have a Mac you can go into your applications, select Canon Utilities, then drag Canon Quick menu to the trash and empty trash can. On Windows you'd go to the control panel, select Programs and Features (or Uninstall Program/Add or Remove Program) and uninstall the Canon Quick Menu. Not required for all the normal functions of the printer. You can do the same thing for My Image Garden. Also not required.

  • Problem when turn on mini Ipad.

    I have problem when turn on mini ipad. I have to slice the unlock after it flashing 3 times and not after flashing5 times!!
    After the unlock flashing 5 times it will turn off the screen and I have to push any button on my ipad mini to activate the screen to turn on again every time!
    Do I have to set something in setting to avoid this situation? It's boring to count the flashing of the unlock 3 times to slice it!!!
    My iOS version is already updated but the problem still as the same since I got it on December 2012

    Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

  • My Ipad mini is not turning off with the botton neither with the cover. It is not also turning on when  I open the cover. Please, what I have to do.

    My Ipad mini is not turning off with the botton neither with the cover. It is not also turning on when  I open the cover. Please, what I have to do?

    If the cover you bought is not a legitimate apple cover than you may be having the same issue I had.
    The one I purchased has a top cover swivel, if you spin it around( meaning the top case cover)
    The magnet will return to the correct spot and it will work again. It is only located at one end of the case.
    Hope this might help:)

  • My wireless key board doesn't seem to communication with my computer even though bluetooth shows it is connected.  I have changed the batteries on the keyboard and when turn on the key board the green lights comes on shortly and disappears.How to fix ?

    my wireless key board doesn't seem to communication with my computer even though bluetooth shows it is connected.  I have changed the batteries on the keyboard and when turn on the key board the green lights comes on shortly and disappears.  Can any one  help?

    Hey Annar99,
    I found a few articles that might help with the issue you're encountering. These first two are if the Bluetooth keyboard you're using is the one that came with your iMac. The first is a general "how to" for setting up your Apple Wireless keyboard, while the second one is for troubleshooting if the advice in the first article isn't working:
    Bluetooth: How to set up your Apple Wireless Keyboard
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1809
    Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3048
    If, on the other hand, you're using a third party keyboard, then I would take a look at the following article's troubleshooting section:
    Bluetooth Quick Assist
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1153#Tips
    Hope that helps,

  • I have a MacBook Pro 2008 with 17 inch screen. Experiencing a lock up when turning on power to boot up. While booting up it goes to gray screen with Apple logo and disc spinning icon running and doesn't go to my desktop. Any solutions to the problem?

    I have an early 2009 17 inch MacBook Pro that just went on the fritz. When turning on the power it will go into boot up mode to the gray screen with the apple logo, then the disc icon will be running and will continue running, not allowing to proceed to my desk top screen. It's pretty much locked up at this point where I have to do a forced shut down by holding down the power button. I've tried everything that I know of such as taking battery out and pressing power button for 5 seconds and then reinstalling battery. I've cleaned inside of computer with compressed air duster in can as well as other key commands for resets. I've read that this is a common problem with the earlier MacBook Pros. Is this a problem that I can fix or does it have to be taken in for service? Any solutions to the problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    This could be a software/state problem or a hardware problem.  Here are steps to resolve the former.

  • New E3000 shuts computer off when turning on

    Just got a new E3000 and when I turn it on it shuts the computer to blue screen warning. Two other laptops are unaffected, but, cannot even install the cisco connect software. I've reset the E3000, plugged it in further away, cleaned the registry of cisco and retried, changed settings in the computer's wireless card, all to no avail.  I suspect my wireless card (Creatix 802.11g) in this desktop computer, but, do not know what to try, and do not have another wireless card to try.
    I've been working on this for 3 days now, trying different approaches and it would be very nice if someone could help me as soon as possible. Thanks,
    Larry

    Try to configure the router manually .
    Connect the computer with the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of Linksys router also make sure that Internet is connected to the router .
    Press and hold the reset for 30 seconds on the router .
    Power cycle the modem and router .
    Open the setup page of the Linksys router and configure it manually .
    Once your Internet works , Download the latest Cisco Connect from the Linksys website and Run it .

  • Printing to a Printer Connected to TIme Machine when using Remote Desktop

    Hi,
    I am having trouble printing to a printer connected to our wireless network via Time Capsule when I am on my remote desktop connection. Printing from all other programs work. I downloaded Bonjour on our Windows based server, and it did not detect any printers. When I am connected directly to the printer, I can print when using remote desktop. Any suggestions are much appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Mac OS X (10.5.4)

    Airport Extreme/Express do emulate Jetdirect/port 9100 printing, but that isn't what they use for printing from OS X. OS X and the Bonjour/airport software use USB port redirection, a unique and separate method.
    If the HP driver supports any protocol over ethernet, it would be appletalk. Does that router server use appletalk?

    Hi, Hugo,
    In similar cases it helped to remove the GarageBand "Preferences" file from the User Library.
    Open the folder
        your home folder > Library > Preferences
    and move the file "com.apple.garageband.plist" to the Desktop.
    Then try again to launch GarageBand.

  • White screen at when turning iPod on

    When my iPod nano 2nd generation has been off for long enough (like 15 mins) and when I turn it back on, I get a completely white screen: it does it consistently. The iPod is on and I can hear the click when I use it. If I turn the iPod off again by holding the play/pause button long enough abnd turn it back on again, then the display is fine and shows me the menu. Anybody encountered the same problem? I did the 5 R's and restored the iPod twice (once resyncing my songs, and once not resyncing because I am planning to bring it back to Apple). I am very disappointed: I have waited 9 months since my birthday in January for a 8G iPod and just got this iPod yesterday. Now I have to bring it back to the store and I hope they will exchange it straight away: I am not willing to wait any more longer to be able to use a $261 iPod (with taxes).
    Lionel
    iPod nano 2nd generation

    This has happened to me twice since I got my ipod this saturday. I noticed that it only did it when I had turned the ipod off while I was fooling around the the photo slideshows. If i hit menu twice then turned the ipod off it came back fine. It hasn't happened constantly with me but I would imagine that if it continues happening alot I will take it back to the store. For me, it would be a hard thing to prove.
    Hope I've helped abit.

  • Airplay wont play sound longer than 1 second, except when mirroring my desktop

    Hello Support Community,
    Running a Macbook Pro i7 Build 13B42 and using a brand new Apple Tv to stream Audio. The macbook pro is wifi and network utility reports 144 mBit/s steady stream. The apple tv is plugged in via ethernet directly to the modem/router. This conection is fine as I use foxtel on demand through the same ethernet cable. All software and firmware is up to date and I have run the troubleshooting list on the apple tv support page.
    For some reason, when selecting output source "apple tv" for my audio only, it will stream for less and less time from when I got the apple TV last week. We are down to 1 second, then after 30 seconds or so the airplay request times out and the audio defaults back to my speakers.
    HOWEVER what I can't figure out is when display mirroring is turned on, the audio and vision works perfectly. How come I can't airplay just audio without the strem going dead yet when mirroring my desktop I get no dropouts? None. Perfect. It's playing now in fact.
    Please Help

    Anyone? No ideas? Maybe just a shocking product like I should expect these days?
