WPA2 Problems with Linksys WAG120N Router

Hi,
with this router (wpa2 and b+g+n) the connection lost after minutes and the routers hangs up.
I will test today with b+g.
Does anyone also have problems with this router and the pb?
I don't want use WPA.
Regards
Volker

I had problem with my Router... The playbook would not see the router, or when it would it would disconnect after a few seconds.. I changed one setting and fixed it. All I did was change the wireless channel it was set at 12 - changed it to 2 and it connects every single time now. I didn't change the wireless type or encryption, just the channel and it works 100% now. I did a few tests and it seems to work fine in any channel apart from 12 (maybe RIM didn't think anyone would use that?) If your set to automatic, worth setting it manually just in case. So worth checking.

Constant Problems With Linksys Wirless Router

Ever since I bought this Linksys Wireless Router it's been the same ordeal. At certain times, depending on what websites I visit, it will knock me right off the internet and I can't get back on unless I restart my computer. It is so aggravating and annoying and takes like 10 minutes to restart each time. I was assured that the Linksys Wireless Router I bought was compatible with Vista. I've had this same problem ever since I bought it. I've talked to tons of technical support staff and none of them know anything. They all give me a different reason. They tell me I need to download new drivers or the latest version or whatever else, but nothing works. The same problem persists. One thing I have learned is that I get knocked off by going on specific websites. So, in order to use the Internet, I must avoid these known websites that cause me to get knocked off the Internet. I can try and reconnect, but it always says that no network connections are available afterwards, and I must restart my whole computer to get back on the Internet. I am perfectly fine going on these known websites on my other computer that has the actual modem/router hook up. Anyone know why this happens and if there's anyway to fix this? If not I am just going buy me a whole new router/modem cause I am tired of this crap. Thanks, Blake

Change the MTU size on the router to 1300 ... Also reset the browser security settings ....
You can also forward ports 25-27 & 443-447 ... to ensure that secure sites should open ....

Problems with linksys wireless router please help!

Me and my 2 flat mates share a wireless network, and for some reasons if cannot connect to it. I have vista home premium and a belkin dongle. We used a Linksys router to begin with, not sure which model, but we recently had to buy a new one because that did not belong to us. I can see the network so the dongle picks up the signal but every time I connect and put in the network key I either get Not close enough to the net work point (the router is about 5 meters away) The network key is incorrect (I created the password and it works on the other two people lap tops) The network has timed out. Sometimes I can connect to the network for a moment then it kicks me off. The connection wizard shows the network at full signal. I’m not sure what the problem is, I have done a full restore on my computer and the dongle was installed onto my computer via the disc it came with. I do have another dongle that is a Linksys one; however it does the same thing. Not sure what the problem is here, can anyone help before I have to go out and buy long network cable and have wires all over my flat i have a heap of work that needs doing this week so any ideas would be really helpfull

I would first try and bring your computer (if possible) closer to the connection point. That way it will have full time to connect. Also sometimes some materials in the walls mess with connections due to the type of material. Sometimes if your IP address is not quite right you will connect but then get booted offline. Sometimes if you don’t broadcast your ssid you cannot connect. (one of my Visa Networks does this ssid broadcast must be on).
Are you using WPA or WEP because Sometimes WEP is not as stable with some wireless modems/ so changing to WPA might solve your problem

Problem with Linksys WRT54GS router? Please help.

Alright, so I have the WRT54GS, and for the longest time after I bought it, it worked just fine, but I've been experiencing problems lately. We have 2 computers running off the router. One is a wired connection, and mine is wireless, which I'm starting to hate. So whenever I'm playing any kind of game that takes up a lot of bandwidth, such as Call of Duty 4, it's been really laggy, and I get connection interruptions quite often. It disconnects me from all my online programs and, i have to wait about 20 seconds and the connection returns again. It's almost as if the router is just under strain and temporarily gives out? It happens if the other computer is running, or if mine is the only one being used. I really hope this problem is normal and fixable, because I don't have the money for a new router. So I'm wondering, can anyone help me? Please, any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

Try the steps below to see if it will help.
There are many reasons for a poor wireless connection, and many ways to solve this issue.
1.      Give your network a unique SSID and do not use Linksys and set your SSID Broadcast to enable.
2.      You can also try A different channel. There are 11 channels and 1, 6 or 11 is better
3.      You can try raising your router approximately 4-6 feet above the floor and make sure the antennas are vertical.
4.      access your wireless software by going to your Profile or preferred networks, if any are named Linksys or ones that you do not know please delete them. Go to the settings or properties and check the information to make sure it is correct.
5.      See if there are any updated drivers to download.
6.      Try to use WPA encryption if you can
*** As always upgrade to the latest firmware
Good Luck,

My iphone 5 does not remember the password of my home network. Well this is ot the case with my ipad. The wifi gets disconnected every 2 minutes. Its not any problem with my wifi router as my ipad and other devices work fine. So how do i fix this problem?

Well my iphone 5 does not remember my home network. This is not a problem with the wifi router as the ipad works absolutely fine. The wifi loses it connection in just 2 minutes. So could you please fix this problem.

Not unless the modem is causing a problem.
What you want to do is get it to work reliably over Ethernet first, then tackle wifi. Power off the modem. On your macbook, delete the Ethernet configuration and the Wifi configuration. Power up the modem, then connect the mac via Ethernet. Create the new Ethernet configuration and see if you can connect.

Pls help me.i have a problem with WRT54G wireless router.

Dear all, Now i got face some problem with WRT54G wireless router.The problem is after i connect to the internet...the wireless will automatic drop..is that any ppl here got face this and got any solution to solve it...?thanks for sharing..

hi...logon to router's setup page and try changing channel to 11, go to advanced wireless settings, try changing transmission rate to 54Mbps, beacon interval to 50, fragmentation and RTS threshold to 2304, also try upgrading latest firmwar on the router...check whether it maks any difference or not and let me know.

Problem with Linksys Router Model WRT110 Not Assigning IPs With DHCP?

Hello,
I recently purchased this router (WRT110) to take the place of my old Belkin that was continually dropping connections (which was a real pain when trying to download stuff off the Internet).
However, I cannot get this router to assign IPs to wired or wireless computers. I spent around 2 hours talking to Linksys support technicians (two total) before they finally told me the router was defective.
So, I went back to the store and got an exchange. But, it's the same story with this router, the connections can't get past the "acquiring network address" stage in the connection process.
I would like to think that this has more to do with my ISP than the router, but if I set up a static IP on the wired computer I can connect to the Internet and the router through its default gateway. Setting up a static IP on the wireless computer doesn't seem to work, however. If the ISP was a problem, wouldn't the router not detect the Internet connection at all?
DHCP is definitely enabled on the router also.
My ISP is a small town owned company. I have a wireless broadband connection, which works similarly to satellite, only the connection is broadcast via a tower and is received with an outside antenna.
I still need to contact them about this, but I figured it could hurt to ask here and see some of your suggestions.
Thank you!
~RJG

UPDATE: I contacted my ISP today and the technician I spoke with said he didn't know of any problems any routers would have with their wireless broadband. I tend to agree with him, as I've configured two routers previously using my connection and I've never had any difficulty until now. He suggested changing the ethernet cable and releasing/renewing my IP address, both of which I did but I continued to have the same issues.
But, after doing some more research I found some settings that actually allowed my wireless computer to connect. There was a post in these forums referring to modifying the MTU, changing it from Auto to Manual and changing the value to 1458 actually seemed to work, as well as strengthening the connection by changing the beacon interval. Anyway, I can connect wirelessly now.
Also, I connected my Linux computer (Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron) to the router and was able to connect instantly, no problems whatsoever. So, out of my three computers, two are connecting, but my wired Windows computer is still having issues. However, if I set a static IP for that computer, I can connect fine.
I'm thinking maybe there is something wrong with the NIC card in that computer, but how would one test something like that?
It doesn't make sense to me, I would really appreciate any input. Thank you!

Powerbook has range problem with Linksys Router. Don't Understand!

Well, I have a Linksys Wireless Router WRT54G v4 with a secure network. I get my Mac and PC to connect with no problem when they are in the same room as the router. When I go to another room, the PC stays connected but the Mac looses connection. I never had this problem before. If you're wondering I'm using a 17" Powerbook with OSX 10.4.8
I only have these two laptops using the router. I had v1 of the router and it went out on me and Linksys sent me v4. Well with the v1, I was able to get connection anywhere in the house with both laptops. Now, even when I'm right next to the router in the same room, the Mac is not getting a full bar, only 3/4. And when I leave the room, I get 0 on teh bar. It just doesn't make sense.
If you have any ideas, please let me know because I've done everything to get it to work. From reseting the router completely, to setting up a secure network, to trying different channels on the router.

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
Do you have the lastest V4 firmware, which is available from Linksys's web site. They also have a support forum where people list firmware issues.
Have you considered any of the third party firmwares available? The WRT54G has publicly available firmware that others have modified to give more flexibility, some which include the ability to increase the signal output. There's a listing under third part firmware at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WRT54G#Third-partyfirmwareprojects .
Have you tried any of the Linksys suggestions for router placement to maximize the signal? Apparently the V4 box introduced something...so this may be worth a try, too.
You've probably looked over the Linksys support web site already (even though the support staff can't spell mac), perhaps you've also done a Google query, something like 'wrt54g v4 problems'.

Persistent problems with Linksys WRT54GS Wireless Router

I'm currently running Vista with a Linksys WRT54GS router. As earlier discussed in this forum I am still having intermittent problems with the ATV taking down my network. Anyone else experienced this and come up with a sure fire fix?
When it's working I like the set up but I have to say, it is not nearly stable enough to be an everyday solution for getting my music and photos to my living room.
Thanks.

Hi, I am having the same problem -- my 2WIRE modem from AT&T recently blew up. So, I purchased the WRT54GS. As soon as I reconnected the AppleTV to the new router via a wireless connection, all of my machines (Mac and PC) lost their internet connections. I'm seriously considering going out and getting another 2WIRE.

How to configure network printer with Linksys WRT54GL router network

I just bought a Linksys WRT54GL router and I am planning to build the following home-network around it:
1. A desktop computer connected to router via ethernet cable (hard-wired).
2. An HP Network Printer (Color LaserJet CM1312 MFP) connected to router via ethernet cable (hard-wired).
3. A notebook connected to router via Wi-Fi.
I want both computers (desktop and notebook) to be able to share files, and also to share the same network printer.
a. How do I do this?
b. Do I need to install the printer drivers in both computers as if the printer was local for each one?
c. What settings do I need to include in the Linksys router settings (and also the printer settings) to allow all this? I've read on the internet about DHCP configs, IP address, etc. but I hardly understand anything.
A step-by-step ("for dummies") explanation will be extremely appreciated.

You will need to install the printer driver on each computer that will be using the printer. You will need to have a printer driver that is designed to be used on a network. Many of HP's drivers (but not all of them) can be used for either a USB or a network connection.
Usually, when you use HP's printer installation software, it will walk you through the printer installation procedure, and install the printer drivers. This software is normally located on a CD that came with the printer. Some installation software demands that you setup a USB connection first, then switch to a network connection. Other installation software might install a network connection directly. Just follow the HP directions.
There are no special settings in the router. Simply wire (using an ethernet cable) your printer to a LAN port on the router, when the installation software (or instructions) tells you to do so.
Your printer will likely get a different LAN IP address (192.168.1.x ) from time to time. Some printer drivers can handle this and still work properly. Other printer drivers get confused, and cannot find your printer when it changes addresses. If your driver has this problem, then you will need to assign your printer a fixed LAN IP address. This will force the printer to have the same LAN IP address each time you boot up your network. If you need to do this, you will need to enter the LAN IP address directly into your printer (Sometimes this is done using the printer's buttons and display panel, and sometimes this is done using HP printer software). Note that any fixed LAN IP address must be outside your DHCP server range (defaults are 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149 ) , and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255. If you need to use a fixed LAN IP address, I would suggest you use 192.168.1.13 , which should be easy to remember by looking at the model number of your printer. If you need to use a fixed LAN IP address, you will also need to enter the Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway 192.168.1.1 , and DNS Server 192.168.1.1 , into your printer. If you use a fixed LAN IP address in the printer, you do not need to change any settings in the router. The router will automatically find your printer when you turn your printer on. Even if your printer is using a fixed LAN IP address, your computers can continue to get their address automatically from the router's DHCP server.

Problem with linksys EA2700

I've got a problem with my linksys ea2700. one time my network components get an ip-address like 192.168.x.x, the other time they get an ipaddres 10.184.x..x, I want that all my components will get the 10.184.x.x address, how can I solve this problem?

If your modem has a capability to be a DHCP server then just configure your EA2700 router as bridged. In that way, the EA2700 router will just act as a pass through device.

WRE54G wireless extender problem with WRT600N wireless router

My Vista laptops work fine with the WRT600N router but not with the WRE54G extender. On the other hand my XP laptop works fine with the wireless extender so I know that both router and extender are working. Linksys tech support told me that the WRE54G is not compatible with the WRT600N, which is simply not true. With my XP laptop the signal goes from poor (5-10 Mbps) without the extender to excellent (54 Mbps) with the extender. Also, the lower blue light on the extender blinks indicating data transmission. I can access the setup page of the extender only with the XP laptop and wired desktop computers but not the Vista laptops. I suspect there is a Vista network setting that is the problem. I've turned off the firewall but to no avail. I've also switched between mixed mode and G-only, which made no difference. Anybody have any suggestions?

I have a secure wireless network (WPA). Perhaps my 4-5 year old XP laptop is the only laptop on the planet that works with the WRE54G-WRT600N combination. But I can assure all the doubters that this laptop categorically works flawlessly when I would otherwise be out of range without an extender. Good luck to spalaw. Please let me know if you are get your WRT160n to work with the WRE54G, especially you're able to connect with a Vista laptop.
Hi
I am Afraid and wont be surprised if ya all people are nt able to use a N series Router with a G series Range Expander !
the Reasons is simple - N series is not BackWard Compatible as u check out the sources around. (Back Ward Compatible means compatible with the previous versions for its wireless Band , e:g - G band and B band.)
as far as my experience is concerned regarding the Range Expanders , me and my bud wasted a whole Week Configuring a WRT350N and WRE54G v3 , and it worked somehow on the seventh day for an hour and Lost the connection again! Dayumm !
and we tried setting up with the same expander with WRT54GS v7.2 , it worked like a charm.
Conclusion : " WRE54G is a g series 2.4 Ghz expander which will work fine with all g series router though may not work with N Serious routers."
and if you really wish to Use something which can actually Extend the range for ur N routers signals , Better go for WAP4400N !!!!!!
And if someone still wish to run around , wanna try some tweaks (which i dont preferr )!
for WRT600N , just enable 2.4ghz band . as Range expander doesnt support 5 Mhz.
Use Only standard Channels . e.g : 1,9,3,11 .(No Wide and stuff.)
Try using WEP encryption first . (cause thats how we made WRT350N worked for a while. sighs)
At last , Wish u Luck.

Has anyone had any problem with Linksys?

I haven been trying to connect to my Linksys with speedbooster and I can't figure it out. My entire life I have never used an apple computer.
I have called the Linksys support people and they tell me the same thing: "We don't provide support for apple computers." That's great hugh?!!
I am able to connect to the router without a WAP or WEP password but I don't want to leave a free signal around my area.
This routers come with different WAP codes, also with Radial and WEP that is hard to know which one is the right one.
Do you guys have any idea how I could be able to solve this problem? Has any of you guys have encounter something like this with Linksys?

If your Mac is truly running MacOS 10.2.x, you are limited to using 128-bit WEP security - WPA is not supported.
On the Linksys router, select 128-bit WEP and enter a passphrase. The router will generate, from the passphrase, four hexadecimal-format WEP keys. Copy down the FIRST of those four WEP keys - and use that WEP key on your Mac when prompted.

WRT1900AC integration with Linksys Hosted Router Management?

I recently purchased a new WRT1900AC. When I first started it up, I was prompted to set things up with a preconfigured Router Name and network Names, did so, and then quickly realized that I had made a mistake since everything on the wired portion of my network was already configured and working with the router that had just died and was being sent to router hell for its' sins. I got everything working the way I wanted it, including working wireless access via the Android support app that lets me administer the router from my Samsung Galaxy IV smart phone. The one limitation I face now is that the Linksys hosted web site that took my setup information initially, no longer knows about my router, so I can't log in to it from the network at my local community college where I'm working out at the fitness center and connected to the internet via their wireless network, or when I'm using Verizon's 4g network in my car. I have some security concerns about giving the Linksys hosting site access to my router that were raised initially when I tried logging into their site via my 64bit Internet Explorer 11 with Norton Internet Security running which told me that the site certificate was being hosted somewhere other than where I was trying to log in, or was an invalid certificate and blocked me.
I relly don't know how to most quickly and securely resolve this problem since I do not want to mess with my current router configuration, I just need to get the smart phone app which works fine within my local wireless network to be able to contact the router over the internet without having to set up my own VPN service or something like that so that I can come in to the network first, and then access the router. I believe that everything is set up except that the MAC address information registered on the administration site is associated with the default network names, and my attempt to set up the software there after I had congigured the network the way I wanted it got blocked by my own network security during the attempt. At any rate, I'm stuck, and do not know quite how to best go about correcting my difficulties without starting over from scratch by resetting the router, which is a real **bleep**.
I'm also not completely sure that the out of the box software and procedure for using it has not been compromised or open to some kind of compromise that would open up my network to unauthorized snooping or worse via the standard site. if you understand the issues, please advise. should I just be content with using my cell phone within range of my own router to administer things? If I'm not, since the administration site knows me but does not seem to know my router unless I'm in my own network, how do I go about reconnecting to the linksys smart wifi administration site to my router?

All you need to do is to create a Linksys Smart Wi-Fi account and associate the router so you may access it wherever you are.

Problem with my wireless router?

So, I recently installed the Linksys WRT54G2. It was easy, so I grabbed my iPhone and checked if the Wi-Fi was been detected. Yes, the network name Linksys appeared and it was working already. I didn't want to leave my network open for all my neighbors to have access, so I created a name and a password. After that, it seemed ok still. Again I grabbed my phone and saw the network with the name I created along with the little lock to the side. So it was definitely locked now, I clicked on it to use it and asked me for my password. I entered my password, but it wasn't working, it says "unable to join network" on my phone. I know is the right password and my phone has nothing to do with it, because the network is been detected but I just can't access it as if it was the wrong password. I tries creating new name and passwords and resetting the router but the same thing happens. It seems that it only works if I leave the network unlocked. I don't wanna do that. Cause then everyone is going t

For your wireless security be sure to use WPA2 Personal with passphrase.
On the iPhone forget the wireless connection used previously. Then reconnect and it should ask you for the new passphrase. When entering the passphrase into the iPhone check off show password so you can see if you have any typos in the passphrase
