WRT 160N: Internet Dropping one of two New Toshiba (Windows 7) Laptops.

Can anyone shed any light as to why I would be losing my internet connection on one labtop, while I have 2 others (along with a desktop) and two iphones that continously hold their connections? The desktop is running Windows Vista, one laptop is running XP and the two new Toshiba laptops are running Windows 7.
I have had this Cicsco Linksys (WRT 160N) router for about a year and it's been fine and all the connections hold just fine, until I bought my newest laptop 2 weeks ago. It connects into the router just fine and holds the connection at times, but most of the time I'll get to the first website and then when I change it will get hung up and say it's not able to connect.
I would think that if it was an issue with the router maxing out (is there a maximum # of laptops that can be linked into the router?) that I would have issues with all components and not just this Toshiba L675 laptop. It show's that I'm connected to the router all the time, it just indicates in the network icon that it has "No Internet" until I refresh it. I obviously want to refresh every 10 seconds and sometimes that doesn't even work.
Any suggestions, as I'm seriously thinking about taking the laptop back, but I don't really think it's the laptop.
I appreciate any insight any of you might have on this issue.
Thanks!

Check for the model number of the Wireless Network Adapter of your Toshiba Laptop, If required try to update the wireless network adapter drivers and then check if you face the same problem or not.
On your Toshiba Laptop, under the wireless network adapter properties, Uncheck "QoS Packet Scheduler" "TCP/IPv6" and then try to connect to your wireless network again and then check .

Is there a way to amalgamate the two from windows PC with my Mac password.?

Few are having this problem.

Until then manually connecting to wifi may be the only way.

Is it possible to extend AP Extreme's both main and guest networks by connecting one or two new dual band AP express in roaming mode (connecting with ethernet)?

I have an Airport extreme base station which creates a wireless network and a guest network at my home. Neither of them reach every room so I have set up one Airport express (1st generation A1264) in roaming mode to extend the main wireless network by connecting the base stations with ethernet (with powerline adapters actually). Works fine with the main network. However, I would like to extend also the guest network. Is this possible with a 2nd generation dual band AP express?

I would like to extend also the guest network. Is this possible with a 2nd generation dual band AP express?
Yes it is, if you have updated your Mac to use AirPort Utility 6.2 and both the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express have been updated to use version 7.6.3 firmware.

When I have set up one Apple ID, new to both my laptop and my iPad, trying to install Facebook the iPad pops up with the wrong ID .

I have set up a new Apple ID but when trying to install Facebook the wrong ID comes up asking for password.

You can go to Settings > Itunes & App Stores > Apple ID to check to see that your new ID is set here. If not, you can tap on the Apple ID to Sign out, then Sign in with your new ID and it should automatically pop it up when you try to download/but things in the App Store on your device.

I cannot download iTunes - new HP windows 8 laptop no connection

I have a brand new HP lap top operating with Windows 8 and I cannot download iTunes. When I attempt to the error message coming back is there is no Internet connection, when I'm having no issues accessing any other web page or downloading any other software. Please help?
Also my old laptop crashed, cannot I access my music library off my new laptop? Or do I have to start a new one? Sorry I. Not tech savy and rather confused.

My iPod 4th-gen charges just fine in any wall outlet, but when connected to my brand new ASUS Windows-8 laptop's USB 3.0 port the charging process just keeps "blinking" on both the iPod and the laptop and will not connect to Itunes...

Hi, I HATE to ask for help with this, but I HAVE looked everywhere and Google searched different wordings and have not found anything similar nor a solution to my problem! My good old iPod 4th-gen charges just fine in any wall outlet, in any house, but when I connect it to my brand new ASUS laptop that has Windows-8 and 3.0 USB ports using the charging/data cable, the charging process just keeps "blinking" BOTH the iPod and the laptop and it will not connect to ITunes and I get "A Device is Detected" message that keeps popping up and going away over and over right above the Windows desktop toolbar. When I go to control panel and select "Devices" it does show the iPod, but for only a split second and than it disappears, but than it comes back again for a split second and than it disappears again and just keeps doing that over and over and over! I have tried resetting the iPod while it is plugged into the laptop by holding the power and menu buttons, that did no good. I also tried uninstalling iTunes and any other Apple stuff listed and reinstalling it all, that did NOT work! The iPod, the laptop and iTunes ARE all fully updated! I AM using a brand new charging/data cable that I just opened up an hour ago (I've learned to keep a few brand new ones around at all times since these piece of garbage rip-off cables hardly last a week, even when you baby them!). I also tried a few old cables, they all do the same thing! I would like to get this piece of junk to connect to my new laptop, even if only once, so that I can change/delete some songs and transfer a few dozen photos,since I haven't been able to do any of that stuff since my old laptop (that NEVER had any problems connecting) died way back in May! lol. I hope somebody knows a fix or solution! Thank You!

Previously backed up wife's Compaq Laptop along with my iMac and MacBook Pro to Time Capsule. Replaced wife's Windows Vista Laptop with new Sony Windows 8 Laptop. Now can't access Time Capsule to back-up.

I also need advice on removing old Compaq back-up. That laptop is dead. Hard drive wiped and removed before recycling. Help

Windows 8 seems to still be waiting for bonjour..
Open windows explorer and type in the TC address directly in the address bar.
\\TCIPaddress or TCname
Replace with the actual of course.
If no go, ping the TC ip address .. still no go, then the networking on the windows machine is set wrongly.. never used win8 so no idea.. but turn off the firewall and ensure the laptop is in the home area, not work not public.
You have to get ping response to open the TC.
On the TC setup the guest access to on and full read and write access.

Two new iPhones 1 promotional gb for 24 mos finally added. I have to jump hoops next year for the second gb (also 24 mos) owed to me.

Here's the update.
SO they finally added the extra gb for 24 mos on only one of two new iPhones that I bought in September. Count the months, it's been three months.
WHy is my issue only half resolved and they said it's going to stay that way?
BEcause they said that, yes they have documentation from the rep that activated the first phone that it was her fault. She did it in the incorrect order for the promo to work. She was supposed to make sure that the right plan was on the acct before activating the phone. She tried to correct it that same day but she didn't have a way to do it so she advised me to wait for the delivery of my husbands phone (the second phone) and once I receive it, at that time I should try to correct her mistake.
I Knew it was fishy and right away I consulted with a manager at the local store where I had first heard of the promotion. He tried to help me for two months and came back empty handed because as he put it he has even less access compared to the reps in customer service. Eventually I gave him a break and also because promised calls from supervisors were not kept. So I called customer service myself and after one knowlegeable rep and one sympathetic supervisor the end result is a problem half resolved.. A second supervisor after that is the one that explained to me that they have no way of fixing the reps mistake and he suggested that I accept 1gb for a year instead of 2 years and that then I should call back once that expires and ask for it to be added back for a second year.
I Said No. I will not go through this again, it's not fair to me. I said to him its been three months now since I started trying to get this resolved I'm not going to repeat that stress again next year.   As it is it never fails every two Years when I add on a new promotional phone, there's always some mess that I have to spend months clearing up.
SO dissapointed. I told him I was going to give him a bit more time to make things right but I'm beginning to believe it's so hard for them that they prefer not to bother and instead try to fix it best they can within their department. Unfortunately it adds to my inconvenience. So I think im going to have to put a complaint with the public utility commission and the better business bureau.

ITunes "uploads" music to iPod, but only loads one or two songs

Hey, I've got somewhat of a problem on my hands.
Whenever I attempt to update my iPod with all the songs in my iTunes library (I restored my iPod recently, losing all of the songs on it), it'll update like nothing was wrong. This will continue for a while, but mid-way through the song upload process, the loading will stop and I'll get a "iPod update complete" message. When I look at my iPod, it will only show one or two new songs have been uploaded onto it.
What can I do to fix this?
Windows XP

hmmmm. do you have any other USB 2.0 peripherals plugged in to the PC?
if so, try (experimentally) disconnecting them prior to a sync. (sometimes power drain through one port can affect an ipod connection on a different port.)
any improvement in sync performance if you try that?
love, b

Just to share GREAT Experience with Lenovo Service with T61p one long two short beeps

Two weeks ago my laptop just suddenly died for no reason. It was in sleep mode and never woke up. I have researched some forums and found that the best thing to do is try to call the number of Lenovo service. I cannot remember it right now, but please check another thread t61p and one long two short beeps. The laptop was out of warranty and according to lenovo site it was 31. July was the last day for replacement claims, however nobody asked a question regarding warranty or replacement. Lenovo sent the box promptly and whole turnaround was in 3 days.
I was really surprised with efficiency and service.
So, if you are in the same situation please give it a try.
Good Luck!

I have used support service a few times and they have always been professional and helpful the support center in Ga. I called last night for my wireless card its on the way to me now I've never had any problems

Easy method to transfer files to new toshiba L505D-S5965 Laptop

Hi All,
A few days ago I purchased a new toshiba L505D-S5965 laptop , I currently have a acer aspire 5100-3357 laptop that has windows vista home premium installed on it, of course with all service packs, updates installed on it. As of now..I've yet to even power up my new toshiba ( even though I can hardly wait to do so ). I just want to get started off doing everything correctly. What I've done so far is use the built-in windows easy transfer utility on my original laptop, I copied everything over to a external hard drive. Now I believe all I have to do is decide which files I want to transfer to my new toshiba. Does anyone have any further information suggestions about doing this ?
Thanks,
David
