WRT 610N - PS3 problem

HI!
I`m having a problem with this. I have an acer 5738ZG laptop (I guess it can`t handle signal over the 5GHz frequens), and a PS3.
When i have the signal set to mix , b/g, or just g, the speed on the PS3 is terrible. But when I set it at b, its "great".
Any reason for this? I would like to take advantage of the n-net on my pc. but then the speed on the PS3 is useless.
Plaease help.
Thanks!

What is the model no of the Wireless adapter you are using for PS3...?
If you want to take full advantage of the N router then,you must use the N Adapter on the computers/devices.

WRT-610n cannot detect harddisk, and no answer from Linksys

I have now had 4 chat sessions with Linksys support. Two times they have ended with a promise that they would get back within respectively 24h and 1h. But they do not.
It is clear that they know about the wrt-610n not being able to detect a lot of harddisk, with many firmware versions, among those the newest two firmware versions 1.00.00.02.10 and 1.00.00.03.15. To get the harddisk detected you have to move back to 1.00.00.B18 to get it detected, but that firmware on the other hand had serious instability issues with the Wireless part.
It is shocking that support pretend to want to help, but when they do not have the solution they simply dump the customer, with a false promise to get back.
It would be so much better customer service if they said that they know about the problem, are working on it, and when they expect a solution.
I feel treated extremely bad, cheated out of my money for a product that they should recall in its current firmware condition. From the many posts in this forum I can see that many customers seem to be in the same situation.
Linksys, one last attempt, will you give me and the other good people in this forum an answer?
Linksys customer

You can find it here: ftp://ftp.linksys.com/downloads/EMEA/firmware/WRT610N_1.00.00.18_20080816_code_fw.bin
The firmware I use right now is version 2.00.00.05, which I have found in this thread:
http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=54216&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=630
The download links are placed on Page 43, and then the last post on that page.
2.00.00.05 can detect my harddisk, and has perfect WiFi stability, and FTP works.
However the Media Server does not work. I have tested that Windows Vista PC's, that could see each other as Media Servers, could not discover the Media Server on the router.
Theres is also an issue deleting files on the disk, from a Vista SP2 PC. If you try to delete a folder that is not empty. Then the directory becomes invisible, but is still there, and then you have to remove and reconnect the drive, or reboot the router. When I tested from a XP SP3 this did not happen. I use NTFS on the drive.
I do not know for sure that it is actually intended for a router with v1 hardware. They might be working on a v2, that this firmware might be intended for. But it works (almost).
So, I hope that time will bring us functionality even better that 2.00.00.05, but Linksys, it would be nice to know what you are working on.

WRT-610N Shopping but skeptical about Linksys products

Shopping for a draft-n, simultaneous dual-band router with USB or Firewire storage link and excellent security features. It must have gigabit LAN ports, a solid firewall, WPA2, 5GHz and 2.4Ghz that operate simultaneously, MAC address filtering, etc ...Like the WRT 610N.
As far as features, the WRT 610N keeps coming up time and again. However, the reviews and numerous forum posts indicate a product that has a number of flaws. These reviews and forum posts have thus far kept me from pulling the trigger on the 610.
Has Linksys fixed the reported problems with this unit? Is there another alternative to this router that has these features? Another concern is the throughput. I've used Linksys products before and have never experienced problems like the ones I've seen described about the WRT 610N.
Any insight would be appreciated as I would like to buy a router immediately. Thanks in advance.
(Mod note: Edited for guideline compliance. Thank you.)

WRT610N Router is a one of the good N-Series Router...It will not give you any problem if setup in a proper way...
The features like Dual Band(2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) , firewall, WPA2, MAC address filtering also present in the other N-Series Router like....WRT110,WRT160N,WRT320N....etc

WRT-610N and my VOIP adapter

So I've got my WRT-610n hooked up, replacing my WRT-54g, and so far it's working fine, with the one exception that my VOIP adapter doesn't work? If I unplug the router and the cable modem and re-plug them in, it works great, for about 5 minutes, then it doesn't recognize the phone anymore. I'm pretty sure it's not the VOIP adapter, although the power and internet lights are both lit on it. (voip is Linksys spa2102)
Thanks for any suggestions.

It should ideally work, did you check the firmware on your router as it could a firmware problem...You should have Ver.1.00.02.10 Firmware, if not Download Firmware 7.27 MB, and Upgrade your router...See if this helps...Make sure you reset and re-configure your router after the Upgrade...

WRT 610N not stable

I have two WRT 610N hooked up to 2 Sony Blu Ray N460 players. Use the wireless for streaming, works most of the time but then out of nowhere while watching a movie the network connection will be dropped. It is the same on both units, sometimes they connect and somtimes there is no connection. I'm not sure what might be interfering? Sometimes it comes right back when hitting retry and sometimes I have to reset the WRT 610N and wait and reconnect. Its a little annoying! Any suggestions?
We have the WRT 54G2 V1 hooked up the the destop computer and cable modem. Our laptop connects quickly and never drops the connection, the xbox is connected and never seems to drop, and all our i-pods connect with no problem. Help please!

We are connected through optimum online. I have one 610 connected upstairs and the other connected in our downstairs family room, both to a sony blu-ray dvd player to stream netflix and amazon on demand etc....
They are connected to the blu-ray with ethernet cable. The WRT54G2 is connected through ethernet cable to our desktop and cable modem in the downstairs living room. The picture is great and usually we get to watch what we want but then all of a sudden the connection will be dropped and sometimes I have to reset the wireless bridge, sometimes it comes right back up. These are refurbished models, I'm not sure if this is a problem but didn't think both would have the same problem.
Thanks for any input.

E3200 with WRT-610N

Recently purchased an e3200 Router to replace my WRT-610N, for home use. I would now like to use my WRT610N as the upstairs Access Point and/or Bridge. I have Cat6 cabling between both units. I have a mixed network of Win XP and Win 7.
I have read nearly all I could find on this topic. I've also tried all of the solutions that were put out there, no success.
What I am attempting to do:
1. Have each computer on the network see and communicate with the other. I have tried the Lan/Lan connectivity, no luck with all of the computers, ping works with some and not others.
2. Have the two USB External drives, one on each router, accessible from any computer. Currently one or the other will give me a message that says +The attached USB Device is not supported. It seems like I can get one but not both operational.
Am I asking too much from these routers? I do appreciate any responses, ideas,or direction with this setup.....Thanks.
Dan the Ham

Thanks for the link. I have seen your link and many others with the same directions. I've used the Lan to Lan connection exclusively. I have followed everything as written however am unable to get the computers to see each other, even though I have the second router set on an unused IP address. I've made sure that the second router had DHCP Server disabled in addition to NAT disabled, still no results. I can occasionally ping the first router, depending on the configuration. I've done a clean reset on the second router several times before doing the setup, still no help.
Also one of my main issues is whether ot not I can have two separate Storage devices on the same "broadcast" domain. I'm wondering since the second router is acting like a bridge, if that has anything to do with the "storage devices" ???
Thanks for your help. I'll try again, maybe I missed something.

WRT-610N - Slow LAN Speeds

Is anybody else experiencing slow data transfer speeds via the linksys wrt-610n ethernet ports? I stream HD video from my pc to a seagate theater+ media hub that is connected to my television. I had a D-Link router that had 10/100 ethernet ports but recently upgraded to the wrt-610n because of it's gigabit ports and the fact that it had dual band capabilities (i have the dual band gamer adapter for another media hub one floor up).
anyway, when i had the D-Link hooked up, I was able to stream HD video perfectly via a wired network connection. both audio and video were perfect. since i hooked up the linksys, i now get perfect video for 30 minutes or so and then it starts to get choppy. after about 45 - 50 minutes it's so choppy it's almost unwatchable.
since the only thing that's changed is the router, i'm assuming that's the culprit. does that make any sense to anybody else? i can't believe it, simply because the ethernet ports on this router are "faster" than the last one ... anyways ... any help would be greatly appreciated.

porty -
I was aware that the NIC in the seagate wasn't a gigabit card. My issue is that the linksys router, for some reason, isn't transferring as fast as my older D-Link 10/100 router. It seems like there is something wrong when two wired devices try to transfer data from one to the other.
Anyways, thanks for the response ... I appreciate it.

WRT 610N USB file sharing

I am trying to use the USB option for the WRT 610N. The computer with linksys advisor and the one that contols the router is running WXP SP3. I try using linksys websites instructions, but when I enter the address 192.168.1.1, I don't see any subdirectories to select. I am loged in under linksys_media 5 Ghz, the USB drive is not connected to the router, does anyone know what isgoing on? I also have another computer with WVista SP1, but when I try to select the WRT610n it asks me to login and the login fails, my other two computers with xp never ask for a login, how do I get around the login thing?

My WRT610N is also not playing nice with both my Macs & Windows computers.
I managed to set up disk sharing the first time, but I could not connect to the Internet. After calling tech support, I can now connect to the Internet (after doing a reset on the router: Holding the hard reset button down with a paperclip for 1 min, and then disconnecting the power from the router for 10 secs), but hard disk sharing no longer works.
I have set up shares, but I do not see the server name in Finder. Also, I cannot access the server through a web browser (i.e. by typing in 192.168.1.1).
Reading the replies on some discussion threads, it seems to me that this function in the router is unreliable at best. Does anyone have a solution for this?

Simultaneous operation on WRT 610N

Ok so I just got a WRT 610N today and for the life of me I just can't figure out how to access both the 2.4Ghz and the 5GHz bands from my Dell XPS Studio 13 laptop or is that a no no. Also how do I go about sharing files between my laptop and PC which is wired to the router? Thanks for any advice.

Dual bands mean if two systems are using it one on 2.4 and the other on 5.0 it doens't slow down one another
there is a way on macs to use both google it and see

WRT54GS Router and NAT 3 PS3 Problems

Ok. I need a lot of help. And yes. I used the search option prior to posting this topic and none of it answered my questions. I did try a few tips I saw firsthand at these topics but it still didn't solve my Nat 3 Problem. Heres my ps3s setup basically. Set the MTU to 1365, in the firewall settings unchecked Block Anonymous Internet Requests, In the Applications and Gaming tab I put my PS3s IP address in the DMZ. Tested my connection on my PS3 and the same NAT 3. I want to **bleep** a brick now because I have been frustrated by this. Googling didn't help. So I am hoping you guys can help me figure this out. FYI: I am changing this setting through the LAN connected from my PC to the router and I have my PS3 wired to the router also. With this NAT 3 problem my downloads are slow as hell and although I haven't tested online gaming yet this will be a huge factor in the lag.

Try forwarding ports TCP: 80, 443, 5223 UDP: 3478, 3479, 3658 on the rotuer setup page ... See if it works ...

WRT150N / PS3 Problem

Hi, my name's Ryan. I was wondering if anyone can help me and/or has had this problem in the past. I bought a PS3 last August and I have it in my room, my computer is downstairs so there's really no way I could set it up next to it, so I decided to have a wireless connection to my router. My problem over the last few months has been my PS3 getting error upon error and logs me out (around every 25 minutes), I've tried every method with my Linksys WRT150N Wireless-N router to improve the connection such as forwarding ports, setting a static ip, etc but nothing seems to work. Some of my family members have cordless phones which I know does interfere with the internet but I have tried to correct this problem. I really don't know what to do, I will be moving in the next few months, but I would like some sort of stable PS3 connection to play games with friends. Any tips/advice or a guide would be most helpful???

As you have mentioned in your post that your family members have a cordless phone, may be that might be reason you are facing that problem with your PS3. To avoid that you need to change some settings on your router, i think that might solve your problem.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
-Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
-Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -

Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Once you configure all the settings on your router, after this you need to make some changes on your PS3 as well as on your router.
PlayStation Settings :-
Open an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1. Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
On the set-up tab change the MTU Size to 1452 and click Save Settings...
Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...
Click on "Applications and Gaming" tab and then click on "Port Range Forwarding" subtab...
1) On the first line in Application box type in ABC, in the start box type in 80 and End box type in 80, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box...
2) On the second line in Application box type in DEF, in the start box type in 443 and End box type in 443, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box...
3) On the third line in Application box type in GHI, in the start box type in 5223 and End box type in 5223, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box...
4) On the fourth line in Application box type in JKL, in the start box type in 3478 and End box type in 3479, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box...
5) On the fifth line in Application box type in MNO, in the start box type in 3658 and End box type in 3658, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box...
6) On the sixth line in Application box type in PQR, in the start box type in 10070 and End box type in 10080, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box and click on Save Settings
7) Now assign the given ip address on your PlayStation ip address :- 192.168.1.20, subnet mask :- 255.255.255.0, default gateway :- 192.168.1.1...
8) Also assign the dns addresses on the PlayStation Primary dns :- 4.2.2.2...Secondary dns :- 192.168.1.1
9) Turn off your modem, router, and PlayStation...Wait for a minute...
10) Plug the modem power first, wait for another minute and plug the router power cable, wait another minute and turn on the PlayStation and test it...
I think after doing all the settings on your PS3 as well as on your router, it will work perfectly fine.

BT Vision killed WiFi access for my PS3 - problem ...

I had BT Infinity Broadband and a Home Hub 2.0 working fine and could use my PS3 over a WiFi connection to the hub to watch iPlayer and play online games without any problems whatsoever.
Then along came BTVision, which works fine cable connected to the hub using the mains LAN adapters BUT it killed the WiFi connection for my PS3. No more online games and iPlayer/LoveFilm Bah.
HOWEVER, After lots of messing around with the settings in the Home hub I found that the only change I needed to make to fix the problem was to change the Wireless channel on my HomeHub from the default Channel 6 to Channel 7. I tried using other channels but Channel 7 does the business.
I couldn't find any specific help online for this type of problem so I'm posting this resolution on the off chance that someone else will benefit from the aggravation I've just gone through.

Just another guy with befw11s4/ps3 problems...

Hello. I just picked up a new ps3 120gb. Like many other people, I am having a hell of a time connecting the ps3 to my home network through my befw11s4 v4. I've done some research and have found that there seem to be a lot of different fixes for problems not exactly like mine. Here's the story: when I go through the network setup process on the ps3, enter in all the network info, and try to connect to the network I get a message "access point not detected". The first thing I tried was updating the firmware on the router. That didn't resolve the problem. Next, I switched from 64bit wep encryption to wpa-tkip. That didn't resolve the problem. However, after power cycling all network equipment and the ps3, the ps3 finally found my router SSID (87% signal strength) and a few of my neighbors'. However, after updating the network settings on the ps3, I tried to connect and got a message: "password authentication process timed out, check that passkey is correct". The passkey was correct. Next time I turned on the ps3, it was back to the same old "access point not detected" **bleep**. I tried turning off the SSID broadcast feature on the router, to no avail. Can anyone lay out the exact settings that my router must have to be able to connect to the ps3? Thanks in advance for any advice....
Brian

Did you reset the router after upgrading it's firmware...If not then,reset the router for 5 seconds and reconfigure it from the scratch..Lower down the security mode to WEP,change the Wireless Channel to 11-2.467GHz and reduce the MTU value to 1364 on the router.

WRT54G/PS3 problems

Everytime my PS3 goes to the main manu, it makes my router "hiccup" and disconnects for a split second and messes up some programs on the computers hooked up to it. How can I get it to stop?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

That's really a strange issue, doesn't sound like a router problem but it could be...
Maybe you are using your router since a long time and you have not upgraded it's firmware...You should try to upgrade your router's firmware in case if this is related to your router...
Download the Firmware from here
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...

See if the same thing happens again...
