Wireless router issue

So I have a 2 year old Linksys Wireless N router which had been working fine for the past 2 years. A few weeks ago I updated the firmware and it has been working shaky ever since. I did the reset like it asked me to do. Somehow I got it to work when it reset after numerous tries. It was the standard Linksys SSID and no password protection. When I changed it to add a password it worked fine for about 30 minutes and then stopped working. I can plug it in and get to the IP Linksys page but it will not browse the internet. I have tried resetting and resetting and have not been able to get it to work. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Are you using DSL or Cable connection? What's the model of your modem?
Let's start from scratch. Reset the router properly.
For DSL connection, here's the procedure in setting up the router.
For Cable connection, here's the step.

Infinity and wireless router issues

Hi Folks,
Thanks for taking the time to read this, if anyone has any similar issues or resolutions to the situation feel free to chip in..
We had Infinity installed a while back and noticed some intermittent connection problems, the issue was that wireless connections would suddenly loose the gateway and go offline but unusually it was always fixed by simply restarting the network adapter on the client machine, the wireless signals were always near full strength.
Later on I noticed that although the clients seemed to loose connection it actually appears to loose DNS and keeps existing connections live, example below, meaning that if you had fired up a streaming connection before the 'drop' it would continue to stream to the client perfectly although the client could not access any new connections(online).
The setup we were given on installation consisted of an Infinity wired(only) box that connects to our old wireless router which appears to be acting as a wireless bridge to the Infinity box.
Having been a BBI Tech for a well known ISP Customer Service Centre, using a process of elimination I am guessing that there is an issue between the old router and the new Infinity router that is causing conflicts to crop up.
**Example** A friend working out of the country was using a VNC client to logon to my machine as he couldn't access our DB servers from his location, he became confused when he was using my desktop and suddenly he lost online capability.... even though he was remotely logged into my machine to witness it he couldnt open any websites or connect to any DB's.
I would appreciate any input as im thinking that the best way to fix this would be to buy a new Infinity capable modem with wireless built in, but am reluctant to do so as the standard kit should work after being setup by the engineer..
In summary:-
wireless drops dns with signal full, (not a signal issue)
current connections stay open, (again not a signal issue or problem with the broadband)
cannot open any new connections, (not sure if this is dns based as cant even connect to direct ip's)
the clients have all been fine on other wireless networks, (not just tested on an individual, faulty adapter)
renewing the connection from the client fixes the issue, (something to do with lease times or bad routing maybe?)
The wireless router is one of the black homehubs.
Any help appreciated as im having to write this post using my 3G connection to ensure i dont get dropped.
Thanks
Mike

This is the setup left by the engineer...

Mail and Wireless Router issue?

Hi,
I recently switched from a Linksys router which had no wireless capability to a Beklin N+ wireless router. When I received mail (Gmail) in Mail through my old Linksys, it would arrive with little to no delay. However, now when I receive email through the Belkin router, I get a substantial delay: a message could take 20 minutes to arrive in Apple Mail. For example, a message may be sent at 1 PM, and I'll receive it in my inbox in my web browser at 1 PM. However, Apple Mail won't retrieve the message for another 15-20 minutes. (Mail checks for messages every 5 minutes.) Changing the setting in the "Check for new mail" button from 5 minutes to every minute doesn't seem to help.
How can I fix this so that I can receive my email with less delay? Are there settings that I can change on the Network control panel l of my Mac?
I hope you can help. Thanks.
David

After further investigation, I think I may have found the issue: Apple Mail separates the general Inbox for "Mailboxes" and my Gmail inbox - they aren't reconciled.

Wireless Router issues with MacBook Pro and Windows XP laptops

hello,
I have a d-link wireless router and I have a MacBook Pro and a Windows XP laptops. My issue is that I have to keep rebooting either the router or the modem (which I both replaced) and it still does not work right. Now can mac and windows work simultaneously through a wireless router (d-link) with no issues?

My problem is that every time I log off either computer, and when I start it back up up again I have to reconfigure all over again for both laptops to get connected to the internet. I called the d-link people and they pretty much said if i still had problem to go their web sites and download their firmware (which I have that version) so I am running out of options because I just can't turn either of them on with out reconfiguring it. Now I am using WPA on them. Could that be the issue? But right now I do not know. This is my first mac and I am getting a little irritated by this. Overall I like the mac except for this little issue. Does that help?

Perplexing Wireless Router Issue! Please Help!

OK Guys and Girls, I could really use some help. I have a wireless router Mod. WRT54G ver. 2.0, and yes it has the firmware upgrade. The problem that I am current having is this, my computer can connect to the router no problem, and i can access the settings too, but it will not let me access the internet at all. It's not the cable modem because I can hook up my laptop to it and get internet. So in short the router isn't, for some strange reason, letting my computer access the internet but the router can access the web. Please any suggestions are welcome. Thank you in advanced.

Access the setup page of the router by launching an
Browser and type on the address bar, 192.168.1.1 and press enter.
When it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field
empty and provide password as "admin" (Without quotes)
click on ok.
On the main setup page the ""Internet Connection Type"" should be
on ""Obtain IP Automatically - DHCP “. Click on the Save Settings
button.
Now click on the sub tab ""MAC address clone"".
- Click on enable
Click Clone & click save settings
Check WAN Ip on Status page of router ....
If getting Valid Ip .... try going online
If not ... power cycle for 4-5 minutes & then again check the WAN Ip address .....

Cisco Linksys E1500 Wireless Router Issues

About a month ago, I bought this new router, and at first it seemed like it was working okay, but then i started noticing that my roku box (watch netflix) was cutting out all the time, losing the connection from the new router. I also began to notice that if more than one person was online, pages took forever to load, can't watch youtube videos and even listening to music online like Pandora became difficult. Also it says that I can get up to 300 mbps but when i run the test I get .50 download and about 1.8 upload
Details About Router & Connection
Its a Linksys E1500 with the capability of up to 6 devices and my IPS is Comcast.

Make sure to upgrade the router’s firmware if there is a new firmware update available. Try to play around with the router’s wireless settings; use this tool: http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/ to select the best channel that you can set on your router. With regard to that 300 Mbps of speed, it means that it is the maximum link/card speed that the adapter could get from the router not the actual internet speed.

Wireless router issues

We have two Mac laptops and one PC laptop in our home (plus one Mac desktop). We use a D-link i624 router with its base station connected to the Mac desktop.
Last night, and this wasn't the first time it happened, we could barely use the Mac laptops because it took about a couple of minutes, if at all, to call up pages on the internet. Both laptops were definitely getting a signal. But the Mac desktop was fine and the Pc laptop worked fine.
I tried shutting things off, unplugging things, but to no avail. But this morning everything was back to normal and the Mac laptops worked like nothing was ever wrong.
I can't figure out why all of a sudden the PC laptop worked flawlessly but the mac laptops did not...and why this morning everything is back to normal.

Hi, Brownielandscape.
indeed, it could be work (or too much e-traffic) on the isp-server or the isp-lines. i blamed it originally in my v=case to such a thing as well. later i got convinced that it must be "interference". I solved it by asking in the Airport Admin. utility a fixed channel number. I don't know which voodoo this is, but it worked...
please, post back.

ISSUE With my WRT600N Wireless Router --

Hello, I am having trouble with my Wireless Router. It is the WRT600N model Linksys Router and the issue I am specifically having is my wireless access. I have several devices which access wirelessly and am starting to have more and more issues of late, not sure why...?
I was wondering how to configure each device accessing my wireless net individually as I have Network MAgic asnd have seen a couple of the items on my network with the same ip addresses. I would like to assign a number to each device and see if that eliminates the issues I have been experiencing..?
I have looked through these question pages and have not found the answer I was looking for so I hope this has not been asked before. I also saw a post that kind of caught my interest and it was regarding using two WRT600N's routers together for better range etc. I have an issue with raqnge on my system and have an old WRT54 Router and would like to know if I could do the same thing with this and incorporate this router into my system as a wireless access point (WAP) only. If this is possible, what would the steps be to accomplish this...
My main issue I chose to writer about here was recently experienced when I got an Ipad and my Ipad has issues remaining connected to my WRT600N Router and I checked my network program and noticed that it was assigned the samw IP address as one of my boys X-Boxes. I believe currently we have approximately 9-11 devices that periodically connect wirelessly to my network. Some devices are PSP's and only occassionally connect and I have NEVER seen all the devcices connect at the same time. I believe the max at once would be approximately 5-6 devices. Is this too many at once...? Is the router overloaded with the amount of devices I have connected...?
Please let me know what you would recommend for my situation,
Darius Taylor

2 wireless routers can not communicate wirelessly with each other.
You need to connect cable between 2 routers and use the second wireless router as access point.
Follow this link to connect Linksys router to another router.
Some of your devices are getting same IP address. This might be the issue with DHCP server of the router. You can try DHCP reservation on the router so that each device will get unique IP address.

Re: Anyone still having IOS 6 wifi issues?
created by mpa9366 in Using iPad - View the full discussion
Having done a lot of reading today and having found a very good online tablet magazine (will post link tomorrow) there seems to be a few tech bods onto the problem.
The magazine I was reading identified wifi problems within hours of the ios 6 release and have been analysing since then with almost daily updates - the story seems to be:
The apple authenthication transmission is normal, it should slip through event prior to a full handshake with the host network being completed - however if not authenthicated then apple will not permit the device to connect (kills the connection) this is designed to protect apple from counterfeiting. So thats problem 1 if you dont receive a token from apple.
Problem 2 is that ios 6 only supports ipv6 (the new ip protocol) whereas outside silicon valley a large proportion of routers modems etc are still ipv4 protocol.
So youre locked into ipv6 in a world where ipv4 devices are everywhere and apple have not allowed for the ability to handle both protocols. This is like GM telling you your car requires an upgrade, everything will improve etc and as part of the upgrade fits a fuel cell motor and stays silent when their upgraded vehicles are simply parked up because they cannot get fuel.
A very basic expectation would have been dual protocol handling - we know the HW supports ipv4 as all wad fine on ios5.
So its going to be hit and miss with networks - more hit than miss in techy areas like silicon valley, but more miss in places like where I am - a small town in rural Switzerland.
Only apple can fix this with a patch to enable ipv4 protocol handling.
There you go. you just need to buy a new router, I'm sure Apple has one for sale, cause it's not there fault for sure.
Wonder why people start to migrate to other devices ?

I have a WRT54G wireless router.
The issue I have is that the "wireless network connection" icon light on my laptop stays on continuously and is constantly sending and receiving data even when nothing is open...no Outlook, no browser, no programs.
I have another another desktop PC that is connected thru the same wireless router and the icon light only lights when I open a browser or transmit and receive data thru an action of mine.
With my laptop, as soon as I boot it up, the icon light comes on and stays on with all this data sending and receiving.
Does anyone have any ideas?

You can try to see what connections are active when your laptop is connected. If you're using Windows, bring up command prompt, type "netsat" and see what connections are active to what target(s). Check Task Manager and see what applications or processes are active and using the cpu. Maybe try installing a third-party firewall (ZoneAlarm) that monitors inbound and outbound connections to determine if any rogue applications are running.

HT1595 Wireless router sysnc issues

I have the latest Apple TV. Why do I have to reset my wireless router almost all the time when I turn on Airplay. My wiress has been flawless for a year until i recenly hooked up apple TV. Cisco Linksys E4200. It seems to make my wirlels network go haywire. My IPAD sugnal goes in out at this time. This is never an issue. I checked the wirless on my phone, IPOD, and playstation, and all go in an out until I it the reset button on my wirelss router. Why this is a pain in the *** as it is up stairs.

Then this problem, does not sound related to changing your router at all. Have you checked that the power lead is properly pushed into the Apple TV and that you are selecting the correct channel for HDMI on the TV itself.
Check that the HDMI cable is correctly seated at both ends.
Try disconnecting the cable and connecting it again.
Try another HDMI cable.
Make sure your TV supports 720p (Apple TV 2)
Try the Apple TV with another TV

Issues hooking a WRT350N Wireless Router to a SE587 Siemen Wireless modem

I'm having an issue with my newly both WRT350N wireless router. I had my internet hooked up today, with no problems. Rather than sending a typical modem (which might be the entire cause of the issue), they sent me a SE587 Wireless Gateway Siemen Modem. Basically i get through almost the entire installation cd for the setup of the router, when it tells me theres no internet connection, and asks me to retry while unplugging and re-plugging the modem. To no success has this resolved my issue. But here's the thing. When i hook the modem to my PC, im instanly connected, no problem there. When I hook the cables to the Router, the four solid lights come on. (Power, ETHERNET (1,2,3,4), Internet, and Wireless. So i know that the internet is there, and its getting to the router, but the connection is not making it to the PC, where i find myself with limited connectivity. Now some Telus representative was spewing that i can't have the same IP addresses on the modem and router. Fine. Now I attempted to get the internet connection through DHCP, Static IP, PPoE. And the same problem persists. For my modem the info is as follows: IPv4: 192.168.1.100 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway: 192.168.1.254 DNS: 192.168.1.254 When i set the settings for my router through static IP, i put the info as follows: IP address: 192.168.1.102 subnet: 255.255.255.0 default gateway: 192.168.1.254 DNS: 192.168.1.254 And i'm still in the same position. What am i doing wrong?

The siemens modems that I've encountered usually have a 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.254. You will need to disconnect it from the router and change the router's address to a different range (ie 192.168.2.1).
The box said windows xp or better... So I installed Linux!

Any resolution to 10.4.10, wireless router/encryption issues?

Like many others, I upgraded to 10.4.10 and soon began experiencing connecting to the Internet problems on my ATT/2WIRE gateway/router using WEP encryption as well as kernel panics.
Having had my MBP for only two months, I did not have many files so I did a Erase/Install using the disks (v. 10.4.8) that came with the laptop. Immediately after this procedure, I updated to 10.4.9, did permission repairs. The gateway/router issue and the kernel panics with 10.4.10 were gone. Without having installed anything else, I did the combo update to 10.4.10 again (did permission repair before and after) and after the double reboot, I was able to reach the Internet. I then went on to battery and sure enough the Internet connection was lost after about 10 minutes. Then came the kernel panic. I resorted to doing another Erase/Install and updating only to 10.4.9 and since then, no problems at all, even on battery.
I've read through the discussions on this but did not see if there was a resolution. Would 10.4.10 v1.1 resolve this issue? Or is this something that 2WIRE would need to update their firmware?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Most likely 2Wire needs to upgrade their firmware. There is still a chance one of these other solutions on my FAQ* might work too:

Having issues with my WRT54GS Wireless Router.

So, I've had this wireless router running for a couple years now and I've consistently had problems with it. One of the main problems that keeps occurring is that I lose connection often. About every 2 hours or so, all devices that are running off of the wireless connection lose connection randomly. All I do is unplug the router for about 10 seconds and plug it back in and everything is fine. Another 2 hours will pass by and then the connection is lost yet again. This cycle repeats itself all day everyday and I have no clue why. Also, while I'm on this desktop computer which is an XP and is wired to the router, I get constant notices that a new device has been detected. While I only have 2 computers connected to the router, it says I have over 15 unnamed computers on the wireless connection. I don't why this is and I really want to fix it. Is there a way that I can entirely reset my router and start the setup all over? What should I do with these problems?

Is your network secured..?
Make sure that your network is secured and have good security key.Open the router setup page and try the follwing settings.
- Change the MTU to 1350
- Change the SSID to some unique name
- Change the Wireless Channel to 11-2.462GHz
- Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,RTS Threshold to 2304.
- Set WPA2 Security.

Wireless router password issues

Here's my problem. I have a wireless router and am connected on it right now. My problem is that I don't have a password on it. Every other day it seems like when I try to connect to the router from my laptop it's asking me for a password again. Everytime I have to reset the router and log in fine. Is there some way to stop this?!? Please help if you can. Thank you.

Change the admin password on the router so no one else can get onto it and reset your WEP settings.
This happened to my brother whenhe was in college. He didin't want a WEP on his Wireless but his buddies kept messing with him, logging on and changing his settings.
