Wireless router has stopped working

A few hours ago, my Linksys Wireless G Broadband Router stopped working, for no apparent reason. The internet connection is still working, however, when I hook up my computer to the wireless router, I can no longer receive internet, as well as when trying to acquire a wireless signal on my laptop (my laptop shows that I'm getting a signal, however, In actuality I am not).
Please help,
Alex

Please try the following if you have not done it already.
Powercycle the router by removing your power cable from the back then remove the power cable from your modem. Wait about 1minute and plug your modem back up then plug your router back up and wait about 3-5 minutes for the items to sync with each other. Now try to connect.
Good Luck,
Ttech

Thinkvantage "access connections windows wireless service" has stopped working

My new computer is a T400 running Windows 7 (lenovo disk installed after purchase) .
While it still connects to the internet through the Windows(?) "open network and sharing center the Thinkvantage Technologies "access connections windows wireless service" has stopped working. It worked fine for a while (4-6 weeks).
Any ideas on how to get it started again?
Thanks
John

Thank you for your reply. I'm just not sure what "it" to uninstall or where to get the new "it" to download. Would you mind adding those details for me? I appreciate your help

My wireless connection has stopped working.

Hi there. I've just bought an iBook G3/800 12" second hand. The lap-top came with an Airport card installed and I had no problems connecting up to the net. However, for some reason it has now stopped working and in the network panel it tells me that "Airport is connected to the network WLAN. Airport does not have an IP address and cannot connect to the internet." My Airport ID is 00:30:65:0d:2f:5b. I have Telewest Broadband (now Virgin Media) and have internet access on my desktop PC via a Webstar modem, which is connected up to a NexIP ISW054t router. I don't understand why this was working fine for over a week, and has now suddenly stopped. Can anyone please help?

and have internet access
on my desktop PC via a Webstar modem, which is
connected up to a NexIP ISW054t router.
Can you describe this in a little more detail.
Is it like this?
Internet -> Modem -> Wireless Router -> PC
Where -> is a cable?

Wireless router suddenly stops working, have to unplug to fix

I actually had a similar problem with an older Linksys router in the past, but it was wired. Basically, a port would stop working and I'd have to unplug the router and plug it back in to get the port to work again. Well, now with my WRT160N, wireless will just suddenly cut off. Wired computers still work fine, and don't even notice a difference, but every wireless computer suddenly disconnects and refuses to reconnect (this includes Vista, XP, and non-Windows devices like TiVo, PS3, etc.). All I have to do is unplug the router and plug it back in and everything happily reconnects and works great. No settings are being changed during any of this.
Another problem which may be related. I work from home and VPN (using the built-in Windows VPN client) to work. It will work great, but all of a sudden I get disconnected from VPN only, every other aspect of the network and Internet works fine, but VPN just completely dies on me. Unplug the router, plug it back in, and VPN has no more issues. No settings, or anything else, are changed at home or at work during this problem.
So what I'm wondering is if Linksys routers have some sort of internal counter and every now and then it rolls over to a negative, gets confused and just stops working, or are they just really sensitive to outside interference and somebody's cordless phone in the neighborhood is causing this problem.

Try reflashing the firmware. You can get latest firmware from www.linksys.com/download , also change radio band to wide and standard channel to 11

Model BEFW11S4 wireless router just stopped working with Mac; still works with Windows

I have the above model Linksys wireless router, hard connected to a Windows XP Pro desktop unit. I also have a Windows XP Home laptop. My wife has a Mac PowerBook laptop. On Thursday last week her laptop started having trouble connecting to Internet. Problem is intermittent--sometimes can get on and sometimes now. When on it might connect to a web site normally or sometimes takes a long (as in loooooong) time connecting. My XP Home laptop continues to connect quickly and will move from one URL to another easily; no problems. She took the PowerBook to Panera and got on the Internet with no trouble. She was on for at least a half hour and suffered no outage or slow-downs. Came back home; got the same problems as before. Only thing that has changed is a big snow on Thursday, same day as the trouble started. The relationship is probably non-existent, but it's the only thing different from Wednesday (when working well) to Thursday (when started having trouble). Any thoughts? I naturally welcome any responses. Thanks, Michael Plog

Hello people. I'm having the same weird trouble: I'm having this BEFW11S4 to which I connect via another wireless AP and a switch a Windows XP PC and a MacBook Pro computer (both with Ethernet cable connected to the switch, to which the AP is connected). Both the above computers work seamlessly, but sometimes the other iMac I have in WLAN doesn't surf anymore. It can ping both MacBook Pro and Windows XP PC, but doesn't anymore ping the BEFW11S4. Wireless connection is crypted with WEP-64 bit key. When this is happening, also from the Windows XP PC I cannot get on the web interface of the BEFW11S4. It seems to be "locked" somehow. After unplugging the power and re-plugging it in, everything works again also on the iMac. Anybody managed to solve this issue? What version of Firware do you guys have? I have 1.50.13... regards.

Actiontec wireless has stopped working

The wireless on our Actiontec router has stopped working. "Radio enabled" is shown as NO. Enabling it works, but as soon as we reset security, it turns itself off.
We've had a number of power outages, with the result that our router has gotten increasingly flakey, especially the wireless. I called tech support and he suggested doing a hard reset, which seemed to have fixed everything. However, following the mose recent power outage (yes, we get a lot of them), the hard reset procedure is no longer fixing the problem.
Any suggestions?

I lost my Wireless connection on Tuesday (2/28) around 10:30am. Ethernet connection is working fine. I called tech support and after about an hour of him working on my system he came to the conclusion that the router needed replaced. I received my new router Thursday afternoon (3/1) Installed the router per the instructions. Still no wireless connection. Ethernet is working fine but no wireless on my 2 laptops or my IPad. I called tech support again this afternoon 3/2 and after about 45 minutes of the tech taking over my computer he comes to the conclusion that the router need replaced. So Router number 3 is on the way. I will update the forum once the new router arrives.

My PC is communicating with my HP C309a wirelessly, but the Hp solution Center has stopped working.

My PC (Dell XPS 9000) is communicating with my HP C309a wirelessly for printing, but the Hp solution Center has stopped working. Shouldn't I be able to use all functions wirelessly?
I'm getting an error message "HP Solution Center cannot run because your device installation is not complete. Please plug in the usb cable or re-run the set-up program from the instattation CD for a network installation." When I put the installation disk in to remedy the problem, it tells me that my present software is the latest so it won't update. When I go to the update center, it tells me I have the latest software.
This question was solved.

Hi,
Try these:
Click Start Menu icon>Programs>HP>HP Photosmart c309a>Add a Device
With this, it will find the wireless printer and reconfigure the settings; simply follow the prompts. After completion, try to reopen HP Solution Center.

Pro L10: After using a wireless mouse, the touch pad has stopped working

Pro L10. After using a wireless mouse, the built in touch pad has stopped working properly. On start up the touch pad icon shows and the touch pad operates intermittently, after a few minuets the icon disappears and the touch pad stops functioning. In the control panel/mouse & or device drive I can the program operating and then disappears.
I have removed the software and reinstalled to no avail. On occasions I get a message to say that another pointer is in operation.
Can you help?

Hi
It seems that the wireless mouse or the wireless mouse drivers/software has a bad influence on the touchpad.
I dont have a proper solution for this issue. Well, you can check the Toshiba driver page for newest driver updates. If the updates doesnt solve this issue so I suggest to use either the wireless mouse and disable the touchpad with the key combination FN+F9 or to use a common USB mouse.
I assume that you dont have any problems with a common USB mouse.

WLAN has stopped working - Satellite X200/N00, Vista 32-bit Ultimate (SP1)

When I purchased this laptop earlier this year, everything worked pretty well with no significant issues. A few weeks ago, however, my WLAN connection stopped working -- specifically, it does not get a valid IP address from the router.
Notebook is a Satellite X200/N00 (PSPBUA). OS is 32-bit Vista Ultimate (SP1).
It was working fine right up to the point where it stopped working. The router itself still works fine -- I have used the wireless connection with a completely different laptop since having the problem on the Toshiba.
This seems to be a fairly common Vista issue, but so far everything I've tried has failed to get me anywhere.
The router is a D-Link DSL-G604T. I have updated it to the latest version of firmware, but this has not made any difference.
In Vista I have disabled IP v6.
I have installed the latest version of the Intel wireless driver (v12.1.2.1). The hardware passes all self-tests, the only thing that fails is obtaining the IP address.
I don't know why the wireless connection just stopped working -- as best as I can recall, I had not installed any new software or updates just prior to it stopping working. It doesn't seem to be a hardware fault.
One thing I have not yet done is test the connection with a completely different wireless router (e.g., at a public access point).
That may be instructive, but not really useful, since I need to get it working with the router I have!
Any thoughts?

Hi
There are many different reasons why the IP address cannot be obtained.
In first case you should check if your firewall is disabled or doesnt prevent the IP address from receiving.
Secondly you should check if the TCP/IP protocol was set to automatic
You can find such settings in TCP\IP protocol properties.
Last but not least I would recommend disabling all security settings on the router and trying to establish the WLan connection.
Please check if the Mac address filtering was disabled, disable the WLan encryption, and check if the right SSID is in use.
If it will be possible to establish the Wlan connection then you could enable step by step the single WLan security settings on the router.
Bye

Laser Jet M1217nfwMFP wireless and fax stopped working printer works with usb cord

I have an HP computer 64 bit version. The printer suddenly stopped working wireless, fax stopped working weeks ago. Printer does work with a usb cord. Turning it off (removing elec cord) on both computer and printer, didn't help. Nothing changed that was different to cause either problem.

Hi agueda
I see that your Laserjet M1217 wireless and fax stopped working but the usb connection does work.
I would restore the printers defaults to setup the wireless again.
Touch the setup (wrench button) on the printer, select network config, select restore defaults.
Then make sure the wireless radio is turned on.
Touch the setup button (wrench), network configuration, wireless menu, wireless radio-on.
Temporarily connect the usb cable from the printer to the computer and go to start, all programs, hp, laserjet m1217 and select wireless configuration and go through the wizard to reset up the wireless again.
or if your router has a wps button on it then you touch the wps wireless button on the printer and immediately touch the wps button on the router.
Printer should automatically connect to the wireless network.
Run the add printer wizard.
Go to control panel,(win7) devices and printers then click add a printer, next, select network
highlight printer, next, message installing printer.
Should be able to print over wireless again.
Check fax connections.
Then run a fax test.
Touch the setup (wrench button) on the printer, service, run fax test.
You should have 4 passes.
Change these fax settings on the printer.
private receive-wrench/fax setup menu/ok/fax receive setup/ok/private receive/ok/set it to off
error correction-wrench/arrow to fax setup/ok/all faxes/error correction/ok/set it to off/ok
speed-wrench/arrow to fax setup/ok/all faxes/ok/fax speed/ok//change speed to medium.
clear saved faxes-wrench/fax functions menu/clear saved faxes/ok/ok to clear.
Try sending and receiving a fax.

WRT400N setup.exe has stopped working

I just got a brand new HP Pavillion desktop with Vista 64 and I am having installation issues. Every time I put the setup disc in the drive it fails to load and I get an error message telling me that setup.exe has stopped working and will be forced to close. I even tried skipping the autorun and going in to my rom drive and manually selecting the setup.exe file. The initial splash screen appears and says please wait loading but I never get any farther than that because the program locks up. I thought maybe the disc was defective but I have tried it on an XP desktop and an XP netbook and the disc works fine on both of those. What gives? I have searched this entire forum and it seems like I am the only person having this problem. Is my new computer defective or is it the user
Solved!

Is the new Vista Dekstop is wired computer or wireless computer ?
Are you able to go online with the other wired and wireless computers ? If yes then, you do not need to run the CD anymore on the VIsta Dekstop.
If the new Vista dekstop is wired computer then, just connect the eternet cable from the computer to the router on one of the 4 eternet port and restart the computer and it should be able to go online.
If the new Vista dekstop is wireless computer then, try to locate your network and connect it using the secuity key(if the network is secured)...It should work !!!

Hpqwa_ui mfc application has stopped working

Error message HPQWA_UI MFC application has stopped working. My wireless won't connect to this laptop but connects fine to other devices in the house. I tried a system restore but it said it could not do this properly. I tried resetting router, no change. I tried Norton scan and eraser but it says it cannot fix internet connection. I am a novice so of any one has any ideas they would be appreciated. Thanks

It will be interesting to know which notebook model do you have.
Anyway, in my opinion there is some software conflict. I can imagine both players use same modules or plug-ins and there is conflict.
I dont know what solution can be but maybe you should remove both players, restart your notebook and make clean BD player in hope it will works properly.
