Wireless dropouts with WAG325N

Hi all,
I need some assistance with my newly purchased WAG325N.  I have made multiple attempts last night with support live but I always get the "this hardware is outside my scope" message.
Story: I used to have a Billion 7402GL wireless modem router which used to work fine until the last few months the number of wireless dropouts/link disconnections became very frequent on a daily basis.  The odd thing is however when I play online games the wireless network and ISP connection never dropped out.  I was not successful in recieving any support from Billion so after doing some research and from recommendations, I then purchased a WAG325N device.  Now, the issue has more or less has reversed itself by making my gaming experience online drop out constistantly every 10 minutes without fail, however browsing and normal web usage is flawless.
Here are some detailed information:
Device: WAG325N v.2 Anex A
Model: WAG325N-AU
Firmware: 11
Mode: WPA2 Personal
Clients: 1
Client 1: Onboard Intel Wireless adapter = works fine, never games and WLAN never drops out
Client 2: My computer with a WMP54G, latest firmware v. 4.1
connection: ADSL2 with roughly 4mbps download throughput and 800kbps upload throughout
Wireless Strength on both clients: Full
As an example, I play a game called TF2 via Steam occassionaly over the internet.  I have gone through portforward's FAQ on how to properly configure the WAG325N according to steam, see here:
http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/WAG325N/Steam_Client.htm
As soon as I play a game online, without fail, after 10 minutes of gameplay my wireless connection to the WAG325N drops out, the only way to reconnect is to do either of the following:
1. Restart my computer
2. Turn the WAG325N off, then back on again
During this time, the WAG325N's connection to my provider is still active.  When I connect a laptop via the wired ethernet port I have network and Internet connectivity.  Also, the wireless connection is still active from the WAG325N except for the gaming computer.  I know for a fact that the WMP54G pci card is not responsible for this as for 1, it is a Linksys device and I am sure it cannot be incompatible with a modem/router made by the same company.  Secondly, the WMP54G's behaviour is completely different when using a different branded wireless modem/router.
I have requested for any beta firmware that are currently available for my model of the WAG325N but the url the live support provided me was simply the generic link from the download website.  My model of the WAG325N already had the latest version firmware available when it came from the store.
I have tried to change encryption to WPA Personal but the problem with this is that my laptop, even when it is WPA/WPA2 compatible (tested with other routers) will never connect to the WAG325N. "WPA2 Personal" is the only mode that both the laptop and the WMP54G are happy to connect with.
I am currently at work right now, when I get home, I will upload the log reports from the WAG325N to show information on the logs during during wireless dropouts.
Some assistance would be appreciated.  At this point, I'd hate to have to sell my second modem/router and try another.  I do not have wireless interference and the signal strength on both clients are very strong.  Thank you very much.
EDIT:
When I first installed the WAG325N, the only settings I changed were the following:
1. Settings for my service provider to allow me to recieve Internet service
2. Router username/password, removed the generic admin/admin credentials
3. Wireless SSID from the default to my preferred network name
4. Wireless security, applied "WPA2 Personnal"
5. In applications in gaming section, added port forwarding entries for my torrent application and also games
Apart from the changes above, I have made any other changes to the WAG325N.

  • Time Capsule and Leopard - wireless dropouts

    I bought a new 24" iMac (Leopard) and Time Capsule 8 weeks ago, and set up a wireless network which also included my old 17" G4 iMac (OSX 10.3.9) with Airport Extreme card.
    From the very start I was having annoying, small problems with wireless dropouts on my Leopard iMac - sometimes it could find the TC, sometimes it couldn't. I decided that for my first Time Machine backup I should move the TC closer to my Leopard machine - it appeared to be an improvement, so I left it closer for a week or so. I then decided to move TC back to it's original position and had good connection for another month or so.
    This week, my wireless connection (Leopard to TC) has been steadily deteriorating until tonight I have been unable to get any wireless connection at all.
    I haven't been able to successfully use Time Machine for weeks.
    The whole time I have had excellent, constant, trouble free connection between my old iMac and TC.
    I've looked at forums and tried a few suggested fixes with no success - it's hard to describe how frustrating this is (I'm typing this on my old machine) as I have a number of online musical projects in progress which require daily, often hourly exchange of files.
    Surely Apple must have a fix for this!
    The problem is clearly not the TC, but more likely Leopard. I spent a fortune upgrading and am now completely dissatisfied after being a happy Mac user for many years.
    Does anyone have a surefire remedy for this? I really can't believe that there isn't one available.
    Rant over,
    HH

    It's likely your wireless network. Check this thread on cordless phones and TC.

  • Interesting variation on the wireless dropout motif

    Hey,
    I use a Macbook Pro from 2007 with OSX 10.4.11. I am also experiencing random wireless dropouts. My connection will stop and then I manually reconnect to my wireless network and it's fine again.
    Here's the catch: it'll only happen when I'm doing something like downloading on Vuze or vidchatting on Skype. I can make phone calls on skype without ever disconnecting but as soon as I put my video on it will work for a bit and then disconnect at random. I'm guessing I'm putting an overload on my bandwidth. BUT... my roommates can all vidchat with no problem. Most of them have Windows, but one has a Macbook who never gets disconnected while downloading or vidchatting. Because their computers are fine I know it's not my router that is at fault.
    Why is my MBP the only one suffering?
    I'd apprecaite ANY help. Thanks in advance

    To provide some closure, I finally got things working by installing Vista.
    It seems that with my non-typical router setup, XP's MacBook wifi driver just doesn't want to work right. I even tried the RC1 of Service Pack 3!
    Installing Vista worked like a charm and my network showed up right away!

  • How do I use a Verizon PC Wireless card with my iMAC Intel Core desktop?

    Help! Bought a Kyocera KPC650 Wireless PC Card for Verizon wireless internet. Works fine w/ laptop because it has a slot. How do I configure my iMAC desktop to accept this card? Is there an external USB adapter? Or do I have to get one installed internally? Which adapter works with OX 10.4?
    I've seen the Quatech U132 online. Will that work? Its $192!! As is the Sewell adapter too. ($209)
    Any ideas? I want to get off SBCYahoo DSL and their router because our DSL line is damaged in our complex and no one is fixing it!
    Thanks in advance.

    What protocol is Verizon using that is not compatible with the Airport Extreme built into your iMac? I have used Apple's Airport Extreme with a lot of different wireless routers with zero problems as all conform to either 802.11b or 802.11g standard both of which are supported by the built in Airport Extreme.

  • I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, can't join existing wireless network with AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC wifi turned off.  How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. working fine with TM

    I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, I just found out that it can't join existing wireless network with new AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC's wifi turned off.  How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. It is working fine with TM.  My cheeper seagate drives etc kept crashing, so i didnt trust cheeper back up options anymore.  Connected those drives to TM via firewire and could see the drives and access them.
    Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed.  I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc.  I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast. Getting over 50mbs downloads and over 30mbs uploads.  Plus everything in my home it connected to my fios router, airport express for music streaming, two apple tvs, vuezone camer system.  I really didn't want to monkey around too much with my system.  But are there other options to connect the new TC.  Can't find info anywhere for this and called apple who gave me the info above.  after hanging up, i see that i cant access my TC and I am wondering if i would have to reset it to turn wifi on again to make changes to the drive, turn off blinking light  or repair it in disk utility if it should become corrupted.
    For other with similar issues i did solve some other problems: when i connected it to my ethernet port on my iMac wifi stopped working.  Found that I had to turn off the ethernet in the system>network screen, but then TM didn't see the TC so i restarted after changes and then it saw it.
    Now a rant.  I can't believe in this wireless age that Apple would make a product that cant join a wireless net work.  The apple rep said i could return it and look for the previous TC that would join an existing wireless network.  Are we going backwards?
    Thanks!

    Ok... it is getting a bit clearer but there are still some questions.
    I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast.
    I was assuming airport in this statement in your first post meant the TC or the Express.. but I now realise we are still in the mass confusion stage where apple calls everything wireless an airport. So what you mean is the airport internal card of the computer??
    Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed.  I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc.
    I think this is mistaken.
    Putting the TC in bridge mode plugged into your FIOS will not slow the network.. nor will it cause mail or port issues.. in bridge the TC is just a fancy WAP and switch plus the network hard drive.
    If the computer is close it will be faster than the FIOS.
    You can run both wireless networks with different names.. so it is clear which is which. But you can also setup roaming so the computers themselves pick which is the best wireless.
    I tried extending the wireless net work and tried joining wireless network, but the TC kept crashing and I had to keep resetting the TC.  the Apple support person said these, extend wireless network and joint wireless network, are no longer a connection option with the new TC because of the new AC protocol.
    Thanks again!
    You cannot extend to a non-apple wireless router.
    You cannot use join a wireless network because when you do the ethernet ports will be cut off.
    But that has not changed.. I don't think Apple support is correct.. there has been no change with the AC model.. it is simply a fact that apple routers do not work in join wireless mode other than as a dumb client. The same applies to AC as to the earlier version.. but I have asked another person to check this.
    Join in the express is the only apple router that still allows an ethernet connection.
    For now you best use of the TC is bridged to the FIOS. Wireless you can sort out between several options.

  • Mavericks VPN dropouts with native VPN client and Cisco IPSec

    Since update to Maverics I am experiencing VPN dropouts with native VPN client and Cisco IPSec
    I am connecting via a WIFI router to a remote VPN server

    I had Zero issues in mountain lion and only have issues since the update to 10.9
    I had similar issues in teh past with an unrelaibel wifi router but i am using a Verizon Fios router and it has worked impecably until mavericks
    My thoughts are:
    1 -issue with mavericks  ( maybe the app sleep funciton affecting eithe VPN or WIFI daemons)
    2- Issue with  cisco router compaitibility or timing with Cisco IPSEC
    3- Issue with WIFI itself on mavericks - some sort of WIFI software bug
    Any thousuggestions?

  • I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac.  The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. Any tips on how to do this?

    I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac.  The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. I installed the current Bonjour printer services software on the Windows machine, and separately installed the driver software for the Epson printer on the WIndows machine.  Running the bonjour wizard, I get an alert saying 'I don't have sufficient access to my computer to connect to the selected printer'.
    The printer has 'sharing' turned on from the Mac end; this works with a Powerbook via the wireless connection.  Sharing is also turned on in the Windows printer control panel for this printer (under properties).  The Mac is a G5 running 10.5.8.  When I try to print a page from the Windows machine it gets hung in the print queue.
    Any advice how to proceed would be appreciated!

    The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
    Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
    Read up the issue.

    I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
    The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
    It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
    Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.

  • I live in an apartment with supplied internet.  I have wireless network with no password.  I have a wall outlet that I can plug into.  When I plug in my TC I get a double NAT error.  I try bridge mode, but I can't get the internet to work.

    Can I get an explanation of what bridge mode is?
    Can I get suggestions on what I should do to use the TC as a wireless device to spread the same wireless device my apartment is broadcasting? 
    Can I get a suggestion on how to use the TC as a different wireless device with it's own password without access to the cable modem.  I only have access to a wall port. 
    I own many apple devices, iMac mid-2011, Macbook Air 2013, 2 ipads, and 2 iphones for the family, and Apple TV. 
    I want all my devices to be on a password related internet but the double nat on my TC makes weird things happen and slow.  I try bridge mode but the internet doesn't work. 
    I hope I have described this situation clearly enough. 
    Thanks

    I want all my devices to be on a password related internet but the double nat on my TC makes weird things happen and slow.  I try bridge mode but the internet doesn't work.
    You building supplied internet is a cheap service that is without proper routable addresses..
    Therefore to use more than one IP you MUST have double NAT.. sorry there is no choice..
    Slow that is because you are sharing internet with every other person in the building.. get your own broadband service.
    Bridge will not work.. it cannot work because the building only has private IP addressing. And they only give you a single address.
    You can put a password on the wireless.. go to the airport utility and put in a password.
    Other than that I don't understand what password you expect.
    Can I get an explanation of what bridge mode is?
    No NAT.. means the TC becomes a dumb Wireless AP and switch.. works fine with a cable modem router.. or any broadband router but useless with your building system.
    Can I get suggestions on what I should do to use the TC as a wireless device to spread the same wireless device my apartment is broadcasting?
    Double NAT, and set your own wireless names. There is no alternative.. sorry.

    You need to turn on Printer Sharing on both the PC and OS X. I can't help you on Vista but in OS X it's System Preferences - Sharing - check the Printer Sharing box.

  • Is there a way to play on the same wireless network with 2 different xbox 360 accounts?

    Is there a way to play on the same wireless network with 2 different xbox 360 accounts?

    Not sure what your question has to do in respect to Apple networking, but if you're asking can you use your Xbox 360 on a wireless network (regardless of the router's manufacturer) to access different Xbox Live! accounts, then the answer is yes.

  • Wireless Keyboard with touchpad?

    I have been looking for some time for a wireless keyboard with built in mouse control - a touchpad seems the obvious choice - to use with a mac mini in a plasma TV/Hi Fi home theatre set up. There seems to be a gap in the market for this type of device.
    I have so far come across 2-3 third party devices that only work with PC but not wirelessly (two USB, one PS2). Sony make a nice looking white cylindrical media PC that has a wireless keyboard with a touchpad. I also see them in some department stores at the point of sale tills.
    I know I could get a wireless Mac (mighty) mouse, but when you are sat in a chair or sofa, there are very few surfaces where you can comfortably use a wireless mouse. It just feels odd!
    Many people are comfortable using a laptop on their lap and controlling the mouse pointer with a touchpad so it is just like detaching the screen, moving it away 6-8 feet and making it bigger of course! The user interface and experience stays the same.
    If Apple got wise and marketed the mini as a media centre, I'm sure they would make the connection and produce another wireless keyboard with built in touchpad. Until then, has anyone come across a suitable solution?

    Hi Bob,
    I'll be in the same boat as you soon, aiming to migrate my G4 Mac Mini to the living room soon, and doing the homework now.
    Here are the wireless keyboards that I've found appealing for this purpose:
    Logitech Playstation 3 Cordless MediaBoard Keyboard, US$47
    Some people have said it works well on Mac and PC too, so this seems good. Note: the PRO model is much more expensive!
    http://www.amazon.com/Playstation-3-Cordless-MediaBoard-Keyboard/dp/B000MFLBBK
    Logitech DiNovo Edge, US$157
    Very smart looking, pure Bluetooth tech and nice trackpad/media cursor.

    Logitech DiNovo Mini, US$149
    Miniturized version of above, yuo'll be using thumbs to type. Only recently released.
    http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard/devices/3848&cl=us,en?WT.ac =ps
    Adessa WKB-4000US, US$80
    Matches your description of a laptop keyboard and trackpad perfectly!

    I've tried some of the relatively cheaper mini keyboards that have a trackball on the right and left+right mouse keys on the left. The build quality was abit poor and either the trackball easily lost traction (within afew days!) or the keys started falling off, but I do recall I tried it and it wasn't very good, and I returned it. I'm also abit weary of RF wireless, because I have had some RF mice where the battery died very quickly and the wireless connection was not smooth unless you had the mouse right next to the USB dongle. I tried afew cheap brands, going upto the Kensington wireless mouse, but just gave up on RF stuff since.
    If you do go for one of the above, please do let us know how it is with them!

  • Troubling extending wireless network with Time Capsule and Airport Extreme

    I am trying to set up and extend a wireless network in my house, but it’s not working right. I have two Airport/Capsule units in the house:
    2TB Time Capsule (Dual-Band II)
    1 Airport Extreme (Dual Band)
    I have the Verizon Fios router as my gateway to the internet, and also as my DHCP server. I have also tested the ethernet ports in my house to verify that they work, and that I can get a DHCP-issued IP address.
    Now, my Verizon router has WiFI, and it’s still on. I am not using it though except to troubleshoot. So far as I understand, this should not cause a problem.
    Base station setup
    So I setup the TC to Create A New Wireless Network, on the ethernet network it’s on (Dlink switch plugged into Verizon router). I set it up in Bridge Mode (as opposed to having it dole out IPs, since the Verizon router does this already). The TC gets a valid IP, and my wireless device connect to it without a problem. I have checked “Allow this network to be expanded” under Wireless settings.
    Extended station setup
    The AE Dual-Band is plugged into the Ethernet, and is reset to Factory Settings. I name it “Airport Extreme 2” and I chose “I want Airport Extreme to join my current network.” The other two options are: “I want to create a new wireless network” and “I want to replace and existing base station or wireless router with Airport Extreme.”
    I chose to “join,” I select “I want to connect Airport Extreme to my network using Ethernet to extend my existing wireless network.” The other options are to disable wireless entirely, or to “wirelessly join my current network.” On the next page it asks me to select the device or network that the Airport Extreme will connect to using the Ethernet. I set it to the Time Capsule.
    Results:
    Access near the Airport Extreme 2 is incredibly slow. Speedtest shows I am getting less than 1Mbps. Worse yet, my mail client won’t connect. It just times out.
    What I had hoped was that the AE would connect via Ethernet to the network, and just bring the wireless network to the other side of the house. Instead it almost seems as though it is just re-amplifying the TC’s signal. Otherwise, why is performance so bad?
    Thanks to anyone with some insight here!

    Hello Kennuff. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Since you have the ability to connect all of the routers by Ethernet, there is no need to configure the Time Capsule (TC) & 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) for a dynamic WDS (aka, extending a network). This option is only when the routers do NOT have an Ethernet connection between them.
    Instead, you want to configure the TC & AEBSn in a "roaming" network. I suggest starting by performing either a "hard" or "factory default" reset on both.
    Next be sure that both the TC & AEBSn are on the same Ethernet subnet coming from the Verizon-supplied router.
    Configure the TC & AEBSn as follows:
    AirPort Utility > Select the TC or AEBSn > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless
    o Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
    o Allow this network to be extended: <not checked>
    o Radio Mode: <leave the default or if you require a specific mode make sure both routers are configured the same>
    o Wireless Security: <configure both routers the same>
    AirPort Utility > Select the TC or AEBSn > Manual Setup > Internet > Internet Connection
    o Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
