WRT110 signal problems... change channel?

I have been having significant slowdown using my wireless router. Someone in a differfent post said he was told by comcast that his signal could be inconsistent because comcast uses the same channel, which causes interference. I too have comcast, so I want to try this. Unfortunately, the threads I've read only give directions up to accessing the Linksys administration tool and I cannot find any way to change channels once I get there.
When I get to the Wireless tab, I see manual and wi-fi protected options, and it is default filled to wi-fi protected. Option 1 [holding the wi-fi protected set-up button and hitting the button to the right] results in a failed attempt to contact the client device. Option 2 requires a PIN and I have no idea what that would be. Option 3 gives direction if my router asks for a client PIN number... no idea how to get to whatever point the router would ask for that info.
OTOH, if I click the manual setup radio button, I go to a page that only offers a few set-up options [Network Mode, Network Name (SSID), Radio Band, Wide Channel (only option is auto), Standard Channel (only option is auto), SSID Broadcast]. In other words, I can see no way to set to channels 1-6, 9, 11 as others have recommended.
What the heck am I doing wrong?
TIA

First that is a bunch of crap. You WAN input is not on any 'channel'. Next don't ever hit the SES button (Secure Easy Setup) on the front of the router because you don't have the receiving hardware to take advantage of it. The wireless tab always defaults to WiFi Protected Setup but you always want Manual.
Never use the Linksys Admin Tool LELA. Always connect to your router via your wired computer to 192.168.1.1. Leave user name blank and input your password that you set (might be admin).
Under basic wireless settings:
Network Mode - BG Mixed (my setting)
SSID - your network name
Radio band - Standard 20Mhz
Wide channel - Auto
Standard channel - 1 (higher frequencies are not as reliable)
SSID - Enabled
Basic Setup Tab change MTU value to Manual 1492 if you have PPPoe, otherwise lower it to 1400.
Advanced wireless settings change Beacon Interval to 75, RTS and Fragmentation threshold to 2404.
Save settings and give it a try. Once your wireless is stable, go back and add security.

Problem changing channels

i'm trying to change the channel on my WRT54G wireless router. i enter 192.168.1.1 into the browser like the support page says but there is no wireless tab for be to select. instead of my wireless router it is showing my roomates regular router which is BEFSR41 V3. the way it is set up is the cable from the modem is hooked up to the router in his room. a cable from there to his computer and mine. the cable going into my room is hooked up to the wireless router. how to i access the wireless router in order to change the channel. also what channel is best to change to. i was reading on line that if a bunch of people are using the same channel it can slow down your connection. out of all of the networks i can access all are on channel 6 including me and 2 are on channel 1. should i switch to channel 11 to get better signal and faster download rates on my laptop. thanks

i am trying to change it via a hard wired ethernet connection. i'm trying to change it from my windows pc that has a ethernet cable from the wireless router connected to back of pc. my apple powerbook is being used wirelessly. i'm not trying to change it from there. the problem is i have 2 routers. one regular and the other wirelss. the regular is in my roomates room. a cable from that router goes to his computer and a 2nd to my room. the etherenet cable from the regular router goes to my wireless router in my room. from the wireless router is cable going to the pc. all computers work fine i just need to change the channel. the problem is that when typing the ip it is accesing the regular router not the wireless. i need to know what to enter to access the wireless one. i've been able to access it before when i first got the router but that was about a year and a half ago and don't remember what i did. any help is greatly appreciated. thanks.

Im using phone 3GS 32GB, my signal was very poor but whenever i insert my sim to other phone, there's no signal problem.. When i change position, the signal suddenly dropped. my software version now is 4.3.5.

GoodReaderUSB originally worked by transferring files to a special location on a user’s iPhone, which iPhone’s GoodReader app was able to access. However, accessing this location was a violation of Apple’s iPhone SDK Agreement, because the app had to access files outside its own private storage space, which is forbidden by Apple.
Because of this, your only choice to fix this. at this point, may be to restore your phone as a "new" device in itunes and NOT from backup. Follow this by syncing your content back to your phone. Unfortunately, ALL saved data on your phone will be lost.

Hanging when changing channels

I am currently on release 1.9 build 10.95. Ever since the software was "upgraded" I have noticed the following:
Intermittently, when changing channels, by selecting from the guide, often the system will hang, for up to a minute, before the channel finally changes, almost as if it is waiting for something to time out.
Intermittently, when I use the remote, the green light will flash on the box showing that a signal has been received, but nothing happens. I may have to issue the command two or three times.
This has happened on all three of our DVR's - Motorola QIP - 7216 1
I have reset the box via software, physically reset the box by pulling the power chord, and put new batteries into the remote, numerous times, and the problem persists.
Is it only me, or has this problem been reported under a different heading?

Usually, you can turn off a video setting and it speeds up the responce time of the set top box. Try hitting menu - settings - video settings - sd override and selecting off. There are other settings in there but they dont seem to affect the responce time much.

Personal Cinema TV5200-VTDF128 problem - no channels

I'm having a problem setting up the TV Tuner on two FX5200 Personal Cinema cards. System specs are similar:
System 1:
=======
Motherboard: MSI KT6V-LSR
CPU: Athlon XP2500+
RAM: Infineon 512MB PC3200 DDR
HDD: 80GB Maxtor
CDRW: MSI 52x32x52 CDRW
FDD: Panasonic
Vid: MSI FX5200 Personal Cinema (TV5200-VTDF128)
System 2:
=======
Motherboard: MSI KT6V-LSR
CPU: Athlon XP2500+
RAM: 2x Infineon 512MB PC3200 DDR
HDD: 120GB Maxtor
CDRW: MSI 52x32x52 CDRW
FDD: Panasonic
Vid: MSI FX5200 Personal Cinema (TV5200-VTDF128)
All drivers have been updated to most recent versions from the MSI or NVIDIA sites, as appropriate. BIOS for motherboards and video cards have been flashed to most recent versions.
Problem:
======
When I start Media Center Deluxe II, I get no video (though I can hear audio). If I do a channel scan, it slowly cycles through each channel number. During this process, the screen stays black. Afterwards, if I try to change channels, it tells me to do a scan first.
When I start MSIPVS, I get video and audio. When I change channels, it shows the new channel number, but continues to show the original channel. And when I do an AutoScan, it quickly rips through the whole channel list and leaves all channels marked invalid. Changing the video input standard (NTSC_M, NTSC_M_J etc) has no effect. Interestingly enough, the one channel it shows is not always the same. At first it was showing channel 2, then it was showing 21.
I have tried various versions of the WDM drivers, both from MSI and NVIDIA. I have tried the unified multimedia drivers from both sites, as well as the individual drivers (separate WDM and VGA). I am still getting the same problem on both systems. All Windows Updates have been done. The one thing I haven't been able to update is MSIPVS itself, as I have not been able to find a download link for it.
If anyone has any ideas (or knows where I can download a newer version of MSIPVS) I'd appreciate it.
Thanks in advance

I`m no expert on this but I`ve had similar problems with my FX5200-128 Personal Cinema card which I have managed to solve. These have included TV picture without sound, unreliable TV capture and channel selection problems. It seems that to get good capture you must start off with a strong aerial signal for the card to work best. This is especially true if you experience poor channel lock.
If you have TV picture without sound then IMO this points to some conflict/incompatibility with video and audio on the PC. I started with simple onboard audio and only managed to get TV sound after adding a cheap SoundBlaster PCI card (make sure the onboard audio device is turned off in BIOS afterwards to avoid problems).
I also met a curious problem with TV Standard selection. I live in Greece and the TV Standard used here is PAL-B. The FX5200 setup insisted that this should be SECAM. This caused a lot of grief and the only way I`m able to get good capture is if I use nearby Turkey - which the settings happily accept as PAL-B. This is covered briefly in the User notes somewhere. So, depending where you are, you may have to log to some neighbouring country to achieve optimum capture.
Hope some of this helps.

Wrt54g strange signal problem

I have a new wrt54g and I have a strange signal problem. When I am in the house close to the router I only have a good signal (3 bars) but when I take the notebook outside or all the way in the back bedroom I have a excellent signal (5 bars). I am thinking that something in the house might be interfereing with the signal but I have tried changing the channel and still have only 3 bars when in the house, and 6 bars when I take the notebook outside or to the back bedroom. I am using wap but I tried disabling it and still only 3 bars when around the router.
Any thoughts, and thanks in advance.

I tried it all but still the same but I did find this, when I take then computer in the back of the house or outside the signal goes up to excellent and stays there even if i take it back in the front of the house where I previously only had a good signal. But the only way to get a excellent signal is to take it far off from the router but once it does get a excellent signal it will stay there even when I take back around the router, crazy I know.
Any more advise or thoughts?

Problems witch channels to the FICON SAN switches

We have some problems witch channels to the FICON SAN switches: channel 56 on Mainframe1 to switch 5B5 (FDBELF5C1_VSAN500_DISK) and channel 28 (on Mainframe1) to switch 5B7 (FDBELF5C1_VSAN510_TAPE). Forr Mainframe2 the channels are 35 to 5B5 and 37 to 5B7.

We don't think that the problem is port related but switch related!
For the moment problems are present on only one of our 4 mainframe SAN directors. Firmware level of the directors was changed 3 weeks ago to NX-OS 4.2(7b).

Problem solved after IODF weekend.

5-7 sec delay changing channels from HD to Non Hd.

I have a 26in LCD Samsung Hd TV model LNS2651dx got it in 2007. The first comcast set top box I got it was connected dvi and I had no problem with this issue.
But the box went bad so comcast brought out a DCH 3416 set top box and it was connected HDMI and this was the first time I noticed this 5 to 7 second delay changing channels.
It only happens when I go from hd1080i to non hd 480p or vice versa. So I thought it was the set top box so I had comcast replace it. So they brought out a new one a DCH 3200 and the same problem is still occurring.
Now is it my TV or is it this brand Motorola comcast settop box DCH series? or even the hdmi cord 3.1 which is new?
If I put the 4:3 override on stretch it doesn't do it because it thinks every channel is in 1080i, but I'm not sure if this is safe for my TV, because some have said people look wider then they should be. I noticed on a hd channel a skinny person, but when I turned to the non hd version he was wider.
So back to my original ? What is the problem with the delay is it taking time to figure out the sound and picture, that's why there is a delay. But why don't I have this problem with dvi? If anyone can help that would be great.

Different box, different box settings, and different technology.

Imac 24-Why does my airport signal keep changing??

my airport signal keeps changing??
right next to my imac i have my powerbook 17
and it's signal is full...where my IMac signal is not??
signal on my imac is 2 bars from full most of the time!!
is this a IMAC thing or what??

No real help but this is a common problem for c2d machines it seems. They have the new "n" protocol wireless card in which willl be faster and further than the g with the new apple extreme base station. It will also be very good for streaming video (iTV). This is just consolation for an iffy wireless link. These boards have many threads on this topic (eg macbook pro area). Do a search any you will find the others with the problem and maybe a solution.
Cheers

No Signal on random channels

Was wondering if anyone can help me. We've lost signal on certain channels today.
The BBC channels as well as Pick TV, Dave, Really, E4+1, Movie Mix, Create & Craft, Sky News have no signal. Haven't checked EVERY other channel but they appear to be working fine.
Is this a known issue? Can anyone advise me as to how to solve the problem.
Cheers,
Dave

Check your local transmitter for any work
Plug aerial into TV and check if they are available on that
Check connections
If still missing unplug aerial and scan for channels. Plug aerial in and rescan.
Still not fixed by any of the above check your aerial, boosters etc

Where's the "Are you sure you want to change channels"window?

We used to have Dish and it had one amazing feature that AT&T doesn't have. When I have live tv paused or just rewound back a bit, and then I accidentally hit a number button or the channel up/down button, with AT&T the channel gets changed and I lose the show I was watching. So very infuriating. With Dish, a little window popped up that asked if I was sure I wanted to change channels and switch to live tv, click yes to change or no to stay where you are on the current channel. It's starting to become a deal breaker. Seriously considering switching back because of this one problem, it matters.

If that bothers you so much, switch back. There are no tuners like on Dish, here on Uverse, you just use upto four streams on IPTV. As soon as you leave a channel, the buffer is reset to that channel. You'll have no problems if you'd be a little more careful and set the remote in your lap and don't pick it up until ready to use.
If you want to pause a program, press Record to start it recording and can just watch the recording, will include everything in the buffer, so could go back/forth on the recording.

Sure Signal Problems

Our Vodafone Sure Signal stopped working last month. Vodafone have checked what they needed to and said all is OK. They have advised I speak to our ISP(BT) and check the router settings. Tried doing this through Live Chat, told they are "not trained" for this!
Can I see what the settings are without going through BT?
Appreciate any help
Cheers

Strength of cell signal significantly changes

I've noticed the strength of my cell signal significantly changes, it will go from 4 to 5 bars to 1, And I'm not even moving. The reason I moved to AT&T five years ago is that I can look out my home office window and see an AT&T cell tower. I'm aware that the IOS 4.0.1 changed the algorithm on how it shows cellular strength, and in field test mode I also see the negative number changed significantly and I'm not even holding the phone with the death grip.
In the field test mode I will go from a -71 to -108, when I do the test the phone is on my desk. It’s odd that the number doesn't slowly change from -71 to a higher number, that I could understand. In just one second it will change from -71 to a -108 (five bars to one). Such a significant change in numbers so quickly when I'm virtually living next to a cell tower seems a little odd.

I noticed the same with the cell phone I was using with AT&T prior to purchasing the original iPhone over 3 years ago which was the same or similar with my original iPhone and 3G and is the same with my iPhone 4. Any problems placing or receiving calls regardless?
Copied from this link.
http://ask.metafilter.com/60227/What-do-cell-phone-reception-bars-mean
The technical term is "EC/I0" (pronounced "ee-see-over-eye-naught") and it refers to the amount of the signal which is usable. In CDMA you can have strong signal (4 bars) and lousy EC/I0 and not be able to carry a call, and you can have low signal (zero bars) and excellent EC/I0 and carry a call fine. But they can't display EC/I0 because it fluctuates wildly (it could go from zero to four bars and back to zero again in just a few seconds) and would terrify users, so they display the signal strength, which at least has the virtue of being stable, though it doesn't really mean much.
The biggest reason why the signal strength isn't very helpful for GSM is what's known as "multipath". The signal reaching you from the cell can arrive by different routes which are slightly different lengths, meaning that they're offset in time. If you've ever seen "ghosts" on a TV when using rabbit-ear antennas, you're seeing the same effect. The "ghost" is a multipath component.
The number of bars shown with my iPhone 4 while I'm in my house fluctuates between 1 to 4 bars and there is an AT&T tower not too far away, but I have no problems placing and receiving calls and no problem with dropped calls while in my house or anywhere else. I had a 30 minute phone call last week while my iPhone showed one bar of reception.
CDMA is better overall inside buildings than GSM.

How do I change channels? Lost IP address.

I see from other messages that I probably need to change channels. I've never had a problem in the couple of years I've had the router until now. Someone else set it up, so I have no idea what to access to make changes.

connect a computer to one of the ports of the router....for example , the router's ip add is 192.168.1.1 .. so try accessing the router using http://192.168.1.1 .. the default login password is admin ..
on the web ui , go to the "wireless" tab and select the wireless channel you want ..

I'm getting signal leakage between channels on my 6062E

I'm getting signal leakage between channels on my 6062E. I'm using a 6062E with a SCB-68 connector block and a SHC68-68-EP cable. If I connect to just channel 1 but monitor channels 2 and 3 (haven't looked at any others) I'm picking up the signal in all three channels? Is this due to the cable I am using?
cheers
Jon

Jon,
This is expected behavior, you do not have a problem with cables or the connection block. If you don't want the channels to rail high (open circuit) with cross talk you will need to tie them down to ground using a 1K resistor (please see any of the DAQ card user manuals).
Kind regards
