WRT120N WLAN Issues

I have been having a series of problems trying to configure applications to be able to stream video from my computer to my iPod, and I believe my router is to blame.
I have attempted to use several programs like Air Video Server and VLC Streamer, but neither of them seem to work. Both briefly work, for a second or too, until I get some sort of connection lost error. At first I suspected a firewall problem. I use Symantec Endpoint Protection as my primary antivirus program. After also trying Air Video Server on a laptop with Avast! installed instead though, I received the same cryptic errors.
I remain unable to connect with Symantec, Windows Firewall, and the router's firewall disabled. I emailed the makers of Air Video Server, but they were uncertain, leaving me to believe that this is an uncommon bug. The only remaining factor that I see is the router itself. Has anyone experienced problems similar to this?
On a possibly related note, I experience intermittent wifi connection problems as well. It'll cut out for about 30 seconds at a time. I can elaborate if someone thinks it's related. Any help would be appreciated.

First turn back on the SPI firewall in the router as it protects the router. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stateful_firewall
Now try these settings in the router.
Disable UPnP, under wireless settings Beacon Interval 50, RTS and Fragmentation Threshold 2304. Save settings. Then try channel 1 or 11. Reconnect to see if this helps.

IOS6 fixed my WLAN issues!

Hi all!
I just had to share this with you all. Since the release of iPhone 3 I have had WLAN issues (at work, at home, anywhere) resulting in WLAN getting disconnected from time to time. Recently with iOS5 on my iPhone 4 I had to manually connect to the WLAN each time I used my phone. Irritating to say the least!
But since the iOS6 upgrade the WLAN connects itself in about 5 seconds from that I wake the iPhone from "sleep".
I might just stick with the iPhone 4 and not get a 5:er since I´m finally really happy with my phone!

I dont think it works correctly GSPEARSON as changing my BTID password had no effect on my email password. The BTID password was changed on numerous occasions during trouble shooting with no effect. The only way to actually change my email password I found was using the password change feature under manage emails after switching my default email address to another. This password change feature is not available to the default email account only other owned addresses.
BT's system isn't clear or coherent in my view. It is also misleading that you can have say a password X for your BT ID and a password Y for your default email address and can access it through either (login through btID then click emails using X or login to btmail.bt.com with Y. I dont like that at all.

N97 mini WLAN-Issues after 12.0.110-Update

Never had issues with WLAN-connection on old fw. Did switch off-on already both, the WLAN-Router and the N97mini. Do not want to make a reset because then i have to re-install everything again......
I can usually connect once, for a short time, for one action. (Like synch Favourites with OVI-Maps). After that no chance any more for several minutes.
When i go to connectivity-wlan it says "no wlan available", even after rescan.
I simply have to wait for half an hour, then i can connect again, for one action.
Anybody having the same issue?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Same problem here. Just upgraded to the N97 Mini from the E61.
I first noticed it in the pre-installed Podcasting (which I listen to 2+ hours a day). Downloads seem to hang after about 10-15 meg of the download is complete. I then noticed it in Ovi when trying to download a video and it would hang during the download as well.
In Podcasting, I have to keep the connection manager open so I can disconnect the connection, then reconnect again in Podcasting. It is very frustrating as an hour long podcast takes three cycles to complete! Please help us Nokia!
In Ovi - you just can not download large files.
BTW - I have a D-Link Router in case there seems to be some type of compatibility issue? No way to test on another WLAN connection at this point.
This is the only major issue that I have identified so far since owning the phone (unless one counts that the phone is absent an automatic polisher/fingerprint remover).
Patient for now - waited to buy this phone instead of getting an eye-moan. Please fix the WLAN issue.

Zbook wlan issues

I have a brand new Zbook 14 with Windows 7 64 bit OS, where I have two issues.
1) The Wlan is not working in my home. Windows is complaining over no Internet connection.
All my other devices are working at home, so there is definately no issue with my connection.
I can't even surf locally to my router with IP , so its some other issue with WLAN towards my router/access points.
The WLAN in my Zbook is working ok on other accesspoints, like the iPhone internet sharing service etc...
I read about some issues with 5GHz band with Zbook, but haven't found any solutions.
2) Also there is an issue if I enable BIOS setting LAN/WLAN switch to automatically change between LAN and WLAN. If I enable it, Windows will not boot corretly. It gets extremely slow and makes noise from the speaker.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

E71 wlan issue after firware upgrade

I just upgraded by E71 to the latest software version. The upgrade went without any issues. After the upgrade I realised that t had removed all my contacts - so I had to restore my backup(I restored the SETTINGS as well). I was using a app for my 'WiFi' (for prioritizing my access points) and after the firmware upgrade - I could not see this app at all. The following are my issues now:
1. I cannot connect to my home wifi(WEP) - it was fine before the upgrade. The first time it says - 'Connection not available' and every subsequent time it irritates by showing 'WLAN already active. Please close the connection and retry'.
2. I have tried to restore the factory settings and it still does not work.
3. I have renamed my Access point to the ones that the app was using - still no luck.
So, what are my options now? Can somebody please help? I never thought a small software upgrade could spoil my whole evening!

Hello,
I have just had EXACTLY the same problem.
I have a Nokia E71 and it was working OK before the upgrade. I just used the latest Nokia Updater and latest nokia pc suite to upgrade to 500.21.009.
The upgrade performed perfectly, and after the upgrade I restored my backed up data.
I have the exact symtpoms as psankar. I have factory reset the phone and tried again. Same problem.
Connection not available, and then connection already active. Small Wireless icon appears at top right of screen, and stays there, but there is no active connection in connection manager.
The only way to remove the wifi icon and to get the phone to attempt to reconnect is to power off the phone, but then on reconnectig then you get connection not available and then the whole cycle begins again.
Help appreciated
TIA
Alex

Portege M400 - WLan issues connecting Orange Livebox

Hi
My landlord recently upgraded our WLan by introducing an Orange Livebox. I have tried everything possible to connect wirelessly to the router but to no avail.
All the other machines have connected with no/little issue/s. I have installed Configfree again, tried connecting through the Windows system as per instruction by Orange website, re-typed the WEP code several times. Tweaked the network connections, Installed the new Intel drivers and installed the Orange Livebox software. I'm running out of options very fast.
The wireless connection is found, it tries to connect but will not give me a network address, even with the lights flashing (as per Orange instructions), yet when connected through an Ethernet cable there is no problems what so ever.
I have had a look through the forum and found nothing that exactly matches my problem and tried to implement those suggestions that sound familiar but nothing has worked. Failing any advise, I will just have to phone either Toshiba, or Orange up for advice, however, I would like to be spared long conversations with people in Technical support.
I have a Portege M400 with an Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG built in adapter.
Any suggestions anyone?
Many thanks
David

Hi
In such cases its not easy to say why it happens.
One of my notebooks is not able to connect the WLan router because the router supports Wlan 802.11 BG mode and my Wlan card support A and B mode.
But you should firstly check if the Windows firewall was disabled. Then disable the encryption on the router and try to connect the notebook without the encryption.
Sometimes the MAC address filtering was set on the WLan routers. In such cases only the registered WLan cards can connect to the WLan router.
I would recommend disabling all filters, encryptions and then trying to connect to the wireless LAN. If you will be able to connect the router then you could enable the encryption again.

Helix2 - WLAN issues after connected standbay

Hello,since I have bought my Helix 2 in February, I constantly have problems with the WLAN connection after the Helix resumes from connted standby. I already installed all driver updates, however non of them was able to completly fix the problem. Either the Helix shows limited connectivity or no networks can be found. Depending on the installed update the former or latter issue occurs. In order to fix these problems I need to deactivate and reactivate the intel wirless device. Thank you for your help!

We did make some mileage on this issue in the past week. After replacing motherboards (which didn't help) and even depoting a unit, the fix below appears to be working. Do the following: 1) Install the latest drivers from Lenovo directly (not using the automatic update utility)
https://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/n1gw202w_64.exe 2) During that install, choose repair. You will notice that several files that were missing will be detected and installed, including a few .dlls 3) After that install you will notice that the lenovo update utility will detect that you need to update the software. Go ahead and let it do the update.

WLAN issues

got my C3-00 last week. First day, it saw Wlans, connected to one, saved it. It worked fine for a couple days. Setup a new WLAN at home. Then I added my bluetooth to the phone. Now it cannot see ANY WLAN's. When I search, it just runs and runs and returns nothing. I know there are a dozen here, can see them on my Laptop.
Also, now it will connect to the original WLAN I saved. Also, will not pull down my email.
I though perhaps Bluetooth caused a problem, so I turned off bluetooth. Still nothing.

Hi @waleedahmed,
Thank you for your inquiry.
I understand that you are unable to connect to your personal network but can to hot spots.
You did a recovery back to Windows 8. When I checked the specifications for your notebook I noticed it came with Windows 7. If you did a HP recovery back to factory setting you would have reinstalled Windows 7.
Did you mean you did a Windows refresh which installs Windows 8?
Have you done all your Windows updates?
If you check in Device Manager is there any error messages on the network adapters?
Here is a link to HP PCs - Troubleshooting Wireless Network and Internet (Windows 8) that should guide you through some steps to resolve this difficulty.
Best of Luck!

WLAN issues with N8

Hi All,
I have developed an issued with my N8 where I'm unable to browse with a WLAN Connection. I'm able to see WLAN connections and connect the device to the WLAN. But when I start a browsing session (trying to access Google), it gives an error. Also, tried connection to other websites but the same error pops up. I have also checked the WLAN is connected all the time. I have tried chaning the priority settings in the Access Point, chaning the access points in the bookmarks but to no avail.
I was able to connect to WLAN previously until after I updated to ANNA. I'm unsure where and what settings I had changed after that (as it was automatically connecting to packet data causing my phone bills to shoot) which is now causing the issue.
If anyone has a solution to this (except a hard reset), please reply to this post. I would not prefer to go for a hard resetting as there is a lot of data in the phone and I have already used up the 1 yr free subscription of OVI.
Thanks in advance,
Manish K.

i dont know why the nokia updater does not show you the update
you need to go here
http://www.nokia.co.uk/support/download-software/device-software-update/can-i-update
and type at the end of page your mobile serial product code and see if you can update
My N8 is now on PR1.2 - I think I got an OTA notification of it being available.
Haven't made any changes to config - have WLAN scanning off. But does seem to connect to my home WLAN / WiFi in a sort of random way. Not sure whether to think it's any more robust, or not, really, I just think it's something of a shame that other devices (Blackberry phone, 1st gen iPod touch, and other WiFi devices) have no trouble, whereas a fairly new phone has.
I guess I just wish WLAN / WiFi worked reliably, really (WPA2, fairly long PSK - that I shouldn't have to change just because of one new-ish device).
The other question I had is what's the purpose of the small, white LED on the side of the case - just above the USB port. I've not read any description or explanation of it, so wondered whether anybody knew?

WLAN Issues - AP Associations

Hello,
I am having issues with our WLAN, I have two APs setup but it seems only one is ever associated with my Wireless controller at any one point. I believe both should associated with the Wireless controller at all points? This is backed up by continual performance and signal issues with any clients who attach to the WLAN.
I have included a screenshot to show the issue.
Can anyone shed any light on what is going on?
Thank you
David.

That output shows both AP's joined to the controller. It shows that the client is only associated to one or the other.

WRT120N & VPN issue

Hello everybody,
I'm a bit stompped at this problem. The laptop (one of my reps' unit) I'm currently using (Dell Inspiron 1545 w/ Dell 1515 802.11N WiFi adapter (driver rev 8.0.0.144- Atheros chipset) has no problem connecting to the HQ VPN server (Pix 515 I think) using the latest version of the Shrew Soft VPN Client (http://www.shrew.net/) on my WRT160N at my place (with latest firmware, HW rev 3).
When she's at home using her WRT120N (with latest firmware) she can connect and 5 minutes in the connection via VPN or plain Internet dies off (at this stage she reboots the laptop - Win7 64).
A bunch of us are using this VPN client on Win7 or Linux and not experiencing this issue, and I'm not using the problematic unit on my own network.
If you read this and have suggestions please post them, would love to read+try them.
Many thanks
JP

I have the same issue here. I use the router for VOIP but have choppy voice issue, can't hear the other side, etc.
The device disconnects from the internet sometimes too.
Checked the configuration on the device web configuration page but do not see where QoS is configured. I am also running v1.0.04 .
I appreciate any advice with this.

WRT120N connection issues with Apple devices

my family has a plethora of devices we connect to the internet wirlessly through our relatively new WRT120N router, including a desktop, 3 laptops, 2 iPhones, 2 iPod Touches, an iPad, and a Playstation 3.
The wireless on the laptops and desktop (all are PCs) is fine, but the wireless on the Apple devices is terrible. every 5 seconds or so the signal will drop and the devices will lose the connection with the wifi. You have to go to settings and wireless to reconnect, but that will only last you another 15 seconds (if you're lucky). I have updated the firmware on the router, but it didn't do anything.
Does anybody have an idea of how to fix this problem? It's ridiculously annoying, and I have a feeling can be fixed with relative ease, especially since it's just the Apple products that are affected.
Thanks!

@ jimmypat1221,
Same here and I did some research and here’s what I found. I accessed the router settings by typing the 192.168.1.1 (http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=856544c9d38d4e7a870493667aac568b_20603.xml&pid=80&...) and I found out that the firmware is not updated, so I upgraded the firmware my self. I downloaded first the firmware (http://support.linksys.com/en-apac/support/routers/WRT120N) and saved it to my desktop screen. Going back to the router settings and I just follow this link on how to upgrade (http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?pid=96&vw=1&articleid=4030) and it was successfully upgraded. I set my set settings on the router with channel 11 and the security was wpa2 personal. From then on I don’t have issue with any of my apple devices.

E-70 WLAN Issues

I have following problems with my new E70 WLAN connectivity:
I defined an access point (AP) for home (w/ WEP Key) and another one for University campus (Open). It connects at home but always ask me to enter WEP Key. If I change browser settings to user defined AP and select message is: Access Point Not found or sometimes Gateway Disconnected. The connection gets establish if I change browser AP settings to "Always Ask", but I have to enter WEP key for every new page/session. Even so the connectivity drops out in about every 2 minutes. (I have a DLINK DI-524 at home)
The story at university campus AP is totally different - there at some AP it keeps showing connecting bar forever, but never connects. At some other APs it will make the screen blanc and then the Nokia logo aprears, after about a minute of freezing out, I get a promp that "New Voicemail". No new voicemail is there - attempt to connect to the WLAN is malfunctioning.
Firmware: 1.0610.05.07 30-05-06 RM-10 Nokia E70
What do I need to do? Is there any firmware patch for this problem from Nokia? I do not want to pay subscription to birdstep.com. The WLAN feature should work on all popular AP and Router models.
Any help/pointers/software/firware is appreciated. Thanks a lot.
Nokia E-70 Firmware ver 1.0610.05.07 30-05-06 RM-10

Hi,
Just to confirm that there _IS_ something wrong with the E70 and Linksys AP's
I've got myself E70 UK edition yesterday, the firmware claims: 1.0610.05.07 30-05-06 RM-10.
To describe the problem:
At work I have a Linksys WAG54G (Firmware ver 1.02.1 apparently newest), connectivity works, but it takes a good 10-15minutes to get logged in. Since when the E70 starts to try and access the (WEP 128 encrypted AP) I see the MAC in the Linksys's ARP table, while the phone does not respond on any Wifi Applications. To see when it works typically for me I would use the browser and make it try it will get stuck on "Connecting" and after about 10-15minutes the page would show up, from then on the VOIP, etc. would work without a problem.
At home I have a DD-WRT (newest SP1) flashed Linksys WRT54GS v.4 with no encryption, I have _exactly_ the same behaviour logging in to it as above. I also have a WAP54G (v3.1) Firmware v3.05 (dec 28 2005) which has _exactly_ the same symptoms.
I also have a Belkin Wireless G (model: F5D7230-4) and at Firmware ver F5D7230v4_UK_6.00.21 at home which lets my E70 log in about 3 seconds (including displaying of a webpage).
All 3 AP's at my home are Open (no WEP), on the same LAN and uses the same DHCP server, etc, all of them work fine (tested individually) with multiple machines connecting to them without a hitch, I'm blaming the E70 not being "happy" with the Linksys gear.
I read today on http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Nokia that the modified WRT54G can be "fixed" by making the router ignore packets in a invalid state, I can only think that the E70 sends malformed packets which the Linksys routers usually drop, it is strange though that after 10-15minutes it _does_ log in and it seems pretty much usable from then onwards.
So, IMHO I hope Nokia will look into this and come out with some firmware after they fixed their wifi ip stack issues.

WCS used to configure SSID broadcast for WLAN issue

Hi,
When I try to disable the broadcast parameter for an SSID on a WLC using WCS (4.0.96.0), I am running in to some issues.
I uncheck the 'Broadcast SSID' check box for a particular SSID and then submit the change. But, after I submit, the check box is still checked. If I verify the setting on the native WLC web interface, the Broadcast SSID parameter is still enabled.
I can change other parameters OK, so I don't have an SNMP issue.
If you perform this operation from the WLC web interface or the command line, you have to disable the WLAN first, before the SSID broadcast can be switched off.
I suspect that WCS doesn't have the intelligence to disable and re-enable the WLAN to perform this operation. But, it very frustrating that it doesn't even generate a warning or failure message to say that the operation has failed.
Anyone seen this or can perhaps tell me if I am mis-operating WCS in some way ?
Thanks.

T410 Wlan issue

Hello everyone,
I am facing a strange issue with the Wlan of my Lenovo T410 laptop. It works fine in for 1 or 2 hours in my wifi-hot spot.
And suddenly stops working, although it shows that it is connected with the access point with good signal strength.
I have checked at different locations, it makes problem only in my hot spot.
Any suggestion please to help me out.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi, Shaka
Have you ran into this issue with any other devices connected to your Hotspot, such as a mobile phone, a tablet, or another laptop? If you haven't tested this, I would try another device and see if you experience the same issue, if possible.
Best,
Adam
