Wireless connections disconnecting wired PCs?

I have a WRT54GS (version 6.)
This is my second one, as my first one went out on me a couple months back. I've got two desktop (wired) PCs, and one laptop. The issue I've been having is that whenever the laptop connects to the wireless (I.E. whenever it's opened,) there's an "IP Collision." Now I use quotes because I've done everything possible to circumvent this. Both wired PCs are manually configured to their own IP / DNS. I noticed that the laptop tends to grab 192.168.0.101 everytime it connects, so I setup desktop #1 to use 192.168.0.103 & desktop #2 to use 192.168.0.104.
It seems impossible that the IPs could collide, considering the laptop only grabs *.101. I even manually setup the laptop so it would grab 192.168.0.101. Still, whenever the laptop connects to the internet, it boots me off my wired PC for a couple moments, disconnecting AIM, file transfers, ICQ, any streaming media, games, whatever.
I've done everything I know how to in my limited networking abilities to fix this, including an extremely frustrating 2 hour call to Linksys. Does anyone have any ideas?

The reason that you are having problems is that you are incorrectly assigning your computers fixed (static) LAN IP addresses.  When you assign a fixed address, you must follow the Linksys rules:
With Linksys routers, a fixed (static) LAN IP addresses must be assigned in the device that is using the address.  So you need to enter the fixed address in the computer or printer, not in the router.
When using a Linksys router, any fixed LAN IP address must be outside the DHCP server range (typically 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149), and it cannot end in 0, 1,  or 255.
Therefore any fixed LAN IP address would need to be in the range of
192.168.1.2       thru 192.168.1.99  or
192.168.1.150  thru  192.168.1.254
assuming you have not changed the default DHCP server range

  • FIOS and Wireless Connection Disconnecting

    I now have Verizon FIOS and only on my MacBook Pro the wireless keeps disconnecting after 5 minutes of inactivity. I tried testing connectivity on a Windows laptop and on an iPad and there are no issues.  I called VZ and they said this is an Apple Macbook issue as they ran diagnostics and all the tests and configurations were all set correctly.  Does anyone else have this issue and is there any solution?
    Thanks.

    so I just got the blazing fast Fios last week and love everything about it except about 50% of the time I need to restart my laptop (which is hooked up wireless) in order to connect.  When I initially connect it shows that it is connected but cannot receive anything in a browser.  The remedy is a restart.  but I only need to do this about 50% of the time.
    Interestly,  If I am having problems and cannot connect I can still receive a skype ping (but cannot browse to any pages using FF or IE)
    I called tech support and they were very nice but did not solve.
    Anyone else with this?

    Sounds like an issue on your laptop.  Can you ping anything outbound?  It sound like the DNS on your laptop is not connecting properly, or the network arp cache is hosed.  If you're using XP or Vista you should be able to "repair" the network connection without having to restart the laptop -- this is essentially what a restart will do for you relative to network issues without having to restart.  Right click on the network icon in the right toolbar area and select Diagnose and Repair. 

  • Deskjet 2544 wirelessly connects to all PCs on network, except mine.

    I am having a great deal of difficulty tracking down a problem with connecting to a new printer we have at home. It was set up correctly to connect to our home router, and it definitely is connected with its own IP address.
    All computers and mobile devices have successfully connected to this printer upon installing the drivers, except for one, which is connected to the router via ethernet, runs Windows 7 64bit.
    I have tried every diagnostic utility and reinstalled the drivers multiple times to no avail. Windows itself can see the printer fine, but is unable to install it. When I try and add the device via the HP drivers by clicking 'Connect New Printer >> Wireless', instead of checking the network environment and finding the device it immediately moves on to the usb setup screen with the tickbox at the bottom for it already being set up to connect. I try and insist that the device is already connected to the network, which it is, and I then try and input its IP address manually at the next prompt, but the drivers still fail to detect it (even though windows sees the printer when I do 'Add New Printer' via Devices and Printers).
    I have checked firewall and antivirus settings, attempting to connect with them both enabled and disabled.
    There is something clearly wrong with my computer, as the other PCs on this network can connect just fine. I need some way of completely uninstalling any HP drivers and removing all registry entries correctly, so I can start from scratch again to see if there is some kind of driver corruption on my end. Either that, or I need a list of all the Windows services that are required by the drivers, so that I can check that they are running.
    Thank you for any help that you can provide.
    For reiteration:
    Spec: Windows 7 Home Premium x64
    Printer: Deskjet 2544
    Connected: Wireless - confirmed
    Problem summary: One PC on home network can not connect to printer.

    Hi,
    My suggestion:
    (a) Give it a static IP address (keep the number)
    (b) From the computer which is wired connected to router add a printer and use its IP address.
    (c) Install software and drivers as required

  • Loss of laptop wireless connection when wired desktop connects

    I haven't had this problem when i first bought the router but recently if my desktop is connected by a wired connection I am either unable to connect wirelessly via laptop, or if I am already connected, will be disconnected. Can anyone help please??? Thank you

    Are you using any fixed LAN IP addresses on your network?  If so, list all the fixed LAN IP addresses that you use.  Also, if you are not using the default DHCP server range of 192.168.1.100  thru  192.168.1.149 , then please state your DHCP server range.

  • Can't connect wireless printer to wired PC in wireless/wired network

    We have HP Officejet 6500A Plus (E710n-z) printer
    Wireless router with 4 ethernet connections (SAGEMCOM 2864) - some pcs connect wirelessly and we have 3 connected via ethernet (network has several printers, 2 netbooks, IPad, 2 laptops and 4PCs currently configured - but with 5 active users it changes frequently)
    Am able to connect printer to wireless PCs, laptops, etc - but cannot connect to wired PCs (running windows XP-home version)
    I'd like to avoid forcing IP address for printer (everything else is automatic)  - Is there another workaround?
    I do have another printer connected wirelessly to both wireless and wired PCs
    Install / troubleshooting software assumes network is either all wired or all wireless
    I don't mind using fixed IP address for install, but prefer not to use for ongoing connections
    Thanks for your help

    Hi Nancy,
    Have you tried running the HP Netwrok Diagnostic Utility, which is available at www.hp.com/go/tools?  I no longer have a WinXP machine so I can't verify that it works on WinXP but, assuming it does, it could help you diagnose the problem.
    Regarding using a static IP address, it is a really good idea (especially since it sounds like you know how to assign one to your printer).  It even helps to have a static IP once things are up-and-running because it generally prevents your PC's from losing contact with the printer.

  • How do I disconnect from Wireless to use wired connection?

    Hi - I'm new to this and I apologize if this question is ridiculously easy.
    I am using a cable modem in which I have plugged my WRT160Nv2 wireless router. I am supporting three computers here in my home; my laptop (both wired and wireless), my daughters laptop (wireless only), and my desktop (wired only).
    Everything works great and I have to give all the credit to CISCO and the excellent software which automatically solves every connection problem that comes up.
    My laptop and desktop are connected to the wireless router via cable.
    My question is strictly about my laptop. When I leave my office in the house and go into another room, I establish the wireless connection. Now I am back in my home office room, I want to use my wired connection. How do I do this? Do I need to disable my wireless connection so that my wired connection takes over? Again, I do have my laptop connected to the wireless router via cat5.
    I want to do this strictly for the speed of the connection. I've read that a wired connection is double if not more in Mbps.
    This laptop is running Win XP Pro, SP3.
    I hope this furnishes enough info to assist in an answer.
    Thanks in advance.
    John
    P.S.. I really do want to educate myself regarding the equipment I am using and not have to ask such basic questions. Are there any books or websites you can recommend that can start me out and go as technical as I choose to?

    Windows by default uses the fastest connection possible. If you have a wireless and wired connection active at the same time it depends on how fast both connections are rated. Wireless connections tend to change depending on the distance. Wireless 802.11g goes up to 54 Mbit/s. Wireless 802.11n can go up to some 300 Mbit/s. Wired connections are usually either gigabit ethernet (1000 Mbit/s) or fastethernet (100 Mbit/s).
    Thus, which is picked depends on your computer. You should check the connection status of both connections in the network connections control panel. It shows you the current wireless and wired speed (the latter won't change of course). Very often, the wired connection is preferred to the wireless connection. Now with 802.11n connections the wireless connection is preferred if your wired connection is only fastethernet.
    As your WRT160Nv2 has only FastEthernet LAN ports you have to check how fast the wireless connection is. If you have a 802.11n wireless adapter in your laptop it may show up the wireless connection faster then 100 Mbit/s. Depending on the setting it may change occassionally between 54 Mbit/s and speeds higher then 100 Mbit/s which would lead Windows to swap connections. If you see that problem it is better to switch off the wireless in the laptop while you have a wired connection...
    A wired connection is more reliable and stable then a wireless connection. With wireless you can have interference. Thus, even though a wired connection may be slower then a wireless one you may prefer to use the wired connection anyway. And some people prefer to turn off the wireless to avoid radiation.
    To sum up: usually you don't have to switch off the wireless, unless you experience problems because of the mentioned changing speeds of the wireless connection. The computer will always only use one connection. Not both.

  • HP CP1525nw - Connect via wired network and wireless ad hoc?

    At my job we have our HP 1525nw printer connected into the network printserver via ethernet cable.  The printer has its own IP address setup on the network.   
    With support for XP computers ceasing, a copule of computers will be cut off/blocked from the job's network.  One computer is close enough where we can make a USB connection to print.  Another is located on another bench.  Furthermore, the one that is further away from the printer also can't be upgraded to a compliant Windows OS due to incompatibility with specialized software used to operate equipment hooked up to this computer. 
    Is it at all possible for this wired network printer to also be setup to print wireless via an ad hoc connection?  The idea was perhaps we could install a wireless card on thix XP computer and  print wirelessly via a direct connection to the printer, avoiding having to connect to it via the wired network at all.  But it is sounding like this wouldn't be possible.  Looking for a direct answer before I start shopping around for a wireless PCI card. 
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    From other posts I have read, I think the CP1525 can be either ethernet or wireless not both at the same time.  That will prevent you from setting up with an adhoc network the way you described.
    You might try an inexpensive wireless router with a build in print server attached to the usb port.  then add wireless USB wireless dongles to the XP computers.  Be sure you make sure that the wireless dongles support XP. Also for security purposes you will want to leave the wireless router disconnected from your network.
    If your fairly tecky and you don't mind playing a bit you could check your local thrift store for a used router with a print server.  For printing you don't need the fastest wireless available.  Just make sure it is a b/g router (not a B only one).

  • Don't configure wi-fi (wireless) if/when (wired) ethernet is connected?

    Is there a way to have mac os x not configure the wireless if/when the wired ethernet is "Connected".
    My problem is that the wired connection is much more robust and I would prefer that connection.
    I want both to use dhcp and request a hostname to be associated with the IP given by dhcp.
    Since the wireless will almost always come up after the wired ethernet, it seem to want to
    still the hostname to IP association and establish it for the wireless IP address.
    This is not what I want.
    The use case: put laptop to sleep.  Move to a location that has wired ethernet.
    Laptop is still asleep with the lid closed. Connect the wired ethernet cable.
    Open the lid. Laptop wakes up and quickly establishes a connection using
    dhcp on the wired ethernet.   I little time later the wireless connection gets established.
    The hostname get stolen from the wired and moved to the wireless which is
    not at all optimal.
    If there is anyway to avoid this, I would really appreciate it if someone could point
    me to the solution.
    Thanks.

    This is a bug in OS X. It seems if WiFi is on, even if there is a Ethernet cable connected it always defaults to the WiFi connection. Even if the WiFi is off and you have a Ethernet cable connected when you turn on the computer and then turn on WiFi it again defaults to the WiFi connection.
    I notice this all the time with file transfers across my home LAN. If the MBP WiFi is on the transfers take forever.
    If I turn off WiFi files move much quicker from computer to computer. If I then turn on WiFi and do another transfer it goes slow again. This is with a Ethernet cable connected the whole time.
    The computer, any computer, should aways default to the fastest connection no matter what other connections are available. In OS X this is not the case.
    The other bug you are seeing is the NetBIOS name, Host name, not being propagated properly on the WINS tab under Network, Advanced, WINS, at least it is for me. Which stops Windows PCs from connecting to a Mac.
    Sure the Mac Host name shows up on Win PCs but when trying to reach the Mac it comes up with a Username & Password dialog and even though you type in the correct Username & Password for the Mac it comes back with "Name or Password are incorrect".

  • WRT610N disconnects when transfering from wireless client to wired client

    based on reviews, I purchased a WRT610N.
    Have it setup with wireless N to work with my two laptops, and also have a desktop connected to one of the gig ports.
    Whenever I try to transfer any files (or access the desktop) from any of the wireless clients, the wireless radio part of the router seem to reboot itself every 5 to 10 seconds.  
    If I go from a wireless client to another wireless client, it works fine.  If I plug one of the laptops into one of the gig ports and transfer files to the desktop through the wired connection, it works fine.  But as soon as either laptop try to access the desktop through the wireless connection, the radio goes into a reboot cycle until I stop trying to access the desktop.
    Router has latest firmware.  the two laptops has a Intel 5300 and intel 4965AGN card, both running windows 7, desktop is also running windows 7.
    Used to be able to do this with a WRT150n without any issues,  upgraded to the WRT610N for the gig port speed, but now this issue.
    appreciate any assistance.

    Ok I disabled IPV6 and now it will go about a minute of transferring files before the wireless dies.
    AP Isolation is disabled.
    Even tried from within the same room, direct line of sight from the laptop to the Router, about 5 to 7 feet away.  Computer shows wireless signal at full strength.
    I don't think it's the wireless cards in the laptops because I used the exact same setup with a WRT150N and WRT54GR  and both work fine (although slower).
    Just as a sanity check, I put the WRT150N back in last night and tested it,  it would let me transfer files all night long without disconnecting.

  • W7 PCs on router LAN port can not find Wireless connected OJ Pro 8500A Plus following router upgrade

    My Broadband Supplier has replaced my internet router with a new one with dual N band Wireless and GigE LAN ports. The 8500A printer has been successfully WPA wirelessly connected and works fine with a wireless connected Sony windows 7 laptop and Apple devices.  However neither of the Dell LAN connected windows 7 desktop PCs or the same Sony laptop when connected to a LAN port on the router can find the printer.  I have tried reinstalling the printer software with the latest version from the HP site OJ8500_A910_1315 and the installation fails as network environment checker can not find the printer. I have run the HP network diagnostics with both firewalls in the PC and router disabled with no success. The LAN itself seems to be working OK as the PCs can see each other, exchange files and and can access the internet.  The router has been checked by the broadband supplier technical uupport.  The printer is visible as a network connected device in Windows explorer so you would expect the HP software to see it. Is the only option to fix the printers IP address and use that in the installion procedure or are there other settings I can alter to get the HP network environment checker to work properly?  Thoughts would be appreciated.

    In the router settings look for "wireless isolation", "AP isolation" or the like and make sure it is DISABLED.  This setting disables communication between the wired and wireless clients.

  • WRT54GL randomly disconnect wireless connection.

    I just brought WRT54GL to replace old SMC router. after I setup It work perfect for both wired and wireless. but when I test on server application. It fail wireless connection randomly disconnect when computer is idle for 5-10 secs. so my application closed and I need to start it again. I didn't found this problem on my old SMC router before. My router is WRT54GL f/e 4.30.11 (I try 4.30.2 and DD-WRT special all have the same problem) connect as access point to lan and Billion ADSL modem. and I use Only Modem as DHCP servers. I search through this forums. and try adjust MTU to 1300, try upgrade f/w, try to disable router firewall and windows XP firewall. nothing worked. Is it a problem is this model? or only mine. nd what can I do to make router always maintain wireless connections? thanks!

    try changing the wireless settings
    ssid - any unique name
    channel - either 1 or 11
    beacon interval - 50
    fragmentation threshold - 2306
    RTS threshold - 2307
    check whether it makes any difference..

  • WRT54GL - just today it won't keep wired/wireless connections HELP Please

    This router is less that a year old and just today it won't keep wired/wireless connections unless I reset the router and sometimes within 5 mins of a reset, it's out again.  I can go into the Admin/Status page of the router and DCHP release/renew the IP from Cox and that works the same as a reset of the modem.
    Can anyone give me an idea what this could be?  Cox looked at the Motorola modem and saw that it was connected for 3 hrs (3 hrs prior I rebooted the modem thinking that was my issue) and they didn't see anything out of the ordinary. 
    I have the latest firmware installed.
    Message Edited by u43a on 05-25-200704:38 PM

    Are you using any peer-to-peer (P2P) software?  If so, this is a known cause for router slow downs and disconnections.  Go into the P2P software, and reduce the number of connections that the software can make.

  • Extended wired network loses wireless connectivity

    I have a pre-existing wireless network with a Time Capsule (4th gen) and I want to extend it via a wired connection to an Airport Extreme (5th gen).
    I powered up the AE, did a hard reset and after I confirmed it was reset, I plugged the ethernet cable into both the TC & the AE, while they were in the same room. Airport Utility "knew" what I wanted to do, suggested that I wanted to extend the network via a wire and after I agreed, the device was updated.
    A short time after the AE was updated, I lost all wireless connectivity to both the TC and the AE, even though the front lights were still green. Once I unplugged the AE and restarted the TC, the network resumed connectivity. If I restarted the AE without a wired connection to the TC, the AE acted as a wireless extender for the network. If I replug it into the TC, the network comes down.
    What did I do wrong?
    TIA,
    Larry Haber

    If I restarted the AE without a wired connection to the TC, the AE acted as a wireless extender for the network. If I replug it into the TC, the network comes down.
    Something went wrong during the setup and the AirPort Extreme was configured to extend using a wireless connection. So, the AirPort was expecting a wireless connection....and when the Ethernet cable was connected, this created a massive feedback loop, which effectively crashed the network.
    I assume that you have tested the Ethernet cable to make sure that it is operating correctly.
    Power off the AirPort Extreme and disconnect the Ethernet cable if it is still connected
    Perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme. That means that you hold in the reset button on the AirPort first, and keep holding it for an additional 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back into the AirPort. Release the reset button after the hold period and allow a full minute for the AirPort To restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
    Connect the Ethernet cable from a LAN <--> port on the Time Capsule to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Extreme
    Try the setup again. If you are using a 6.x version of AirPort Utility, the initial setup screen will indicate that the AirPort Extreme will be set up to extend the Time Capsule network. Watch the second screen carefully to confirm that the message will change to indicate that the AirPort is being set up to extend using Ethernet.
    Strange as it might seem, the setup utility on an iPhone or iPad actually does a better job than AirPort Utility on a Mac, especially a Mac that is running Yosemite, so if you are still having problems, you might want to try the setup on an iPhone or iPad if you have one handy.

  • WRT300N wireless connection will not work when a wired computer is online line

    I have an ATT DSL connection. I have no problems accessing the internet when the when my two wired Desktop PCs are online. However, when I try to access the wireless connection through my Laptop (when the Desktop PCs are on) I get a message that Windows could not "Connect to the Wireless Network." However, when I turn off the desktop PCs my Laptop searches for and is able to access the internet. Solutions anyone?
