WRT150N - Dropping wired connection

As the title states I have a WRT150N router. Ever since I've gotten it I randomly lose my connectivity to my internet, and my home network as well I think. My dad has a regular wired router, not sure which one exactly, but when I'm connected to his router I never had this problem. The IPs for all of the computers on the networks are allocated dynamically and aside from that I don't know what could be causing it. Any ideas?

When you lose the internet connection, check if you lose the network connection as well...
The box said windows xp or better... So I installed Linux!

WRT%$G dropping wired connect frequently

Trying to setup a wireless internet with WRT54G v.3 ( using latest firmware 4.2.1 1/30/2007) on Comcast IP w/VOIP modem (Arris TM502G). Seems to work fine when using only MAC address specific. However when adding WEP encyyption, it frequently drop the wired connection. Sometimes the drop is momentary and it reconnects itself. Other times, I have to restart the router. I've been through much of the forums and have spent much too much time on the issue. Problem remains. Currently using borrowed Actiontec MA424WR without issue. Please help would like to get the WRT going so I can return the Actiontec. Thought maybe your technical crew will have an answer for me...thanks Paul

I assume you mean you are using 4.21.1 firmware.
After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you have not done this since the last firmware upgrade, then please do it now and see if it corrects your problem. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
Also, many users have found that WPA works better than WEP. Please try WPA encryption.

WRT120N - Dropping wired connection frequently

Today alone I have dropped connection 6 times. I recently purchased this router because I thought my WRT54G was kicking on its last leg. It would dropped connections every 45 minutes it seemed.
Now I am experiencing the same issues with this router which is brand new. I have tried power cycling the modem and router. I have made new cables for my devices I am connecting (PS3, PC, DirecTV receiver) I haven't tested things with just going with the modem seperately for security reasons, but I have contacted my ISP to see if anything was wrong with the modem. They have told me that nothing is showing up on there end.
What else could be causing this?

I changed the setting and I am still getting drops in connections while on the internet and PS3. Since the morning of the 9/10/09 up until today, I have dropped 14 connections. Though they only last maybe a second or two, it is still inconvinient.
This happened frequently while trying to play my PS3 online, so I disconnected from the router and plugged the PS3 straight into the modem. I didnt have any issues while playing my PS3. I plugged the modem back into the router and got on the computer for a few hours and the dropped connections started again.
I am honestly at a lost with this.

E4200v2 dropping wired connections

I just installed a brand new e4200 replacing my WRT54.
Wireless works good with a noticable performance improvement over my old wireless.
However, the wired conenctions are not solid at all. I am getting over 10% packet loss from the wired conenctions.
I can not even connecct to the web ui reliably over wired connections.
I upgraded to the latest firmware release with no real change at all.
I hope this is an easy fix since the e4200 generally has good reviews Im stumped as to what is going on.

Try the following steps:
A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
3] Lower the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) from 1500 to 1400 or less (usually found on your router's main/ basic setup page)
B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the user name field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.
Then check the connectivity..

Desktops dropping wired connection to e4200 and other Linksys routers

Hi,
On Friday, I lost all Internet connnecitivity on my Linksys e3000. After determining that my cable modem was connected and working correctly, I pulled the e3000 and put my old wrv54g router in place. Wireless worked, but all wired connections showed link but no other apparent connectivity. Neither of my desktops could get a DHCP lease.
At that point, I purchased and manually installed a new e4200 router. All worked fine. Both laptops connected via wireless and both desktops via my house LAN. Until this morning (Monday). Wireless is working just fine, but both wired computers show 100 Mbs connections on an unknown network with no DHCP. Checking status shows packets going out, but nothing coming in. Checking LAN status on the router shows that both ports are connected, but it does not appear to receive anything from either desktop. All was fine last night. Oh, the router is on 1.0.03 firmware.
I have tried about everything I can think of. Configurations both on the router and the desktops (one Windows XP, 64 bit and one Windows 7) and all seems fine. I have disabled and reenabled the network connectors, rebooted both the router and the computers, etc. Nothing seems to work.
I am out of ideas and desparate. Does anyone have any idesa.
Thanks,
Mitch

I actually solved the problem, after a long day of trying everything I could think of, and the issue was not the router. I did a chat session with a Linksys support rep and we figured out that the router was bad. I replaced it with a new one and still had the same problem.
Long story short, I have a weather unit that connects, via wire, to the Internet to retrieve weather forecasts. It is hooked up through a ethernet switch, along with my desktop. For whatever reason, it went flakey and took down everything that was on a wire, including my wife's desktop in another room, which was connected to the router through a hub. As soon as I pulled the power on the weather device, everything started working. When I put power back, everything still worked.
Not sure why, or how this happened, but I will take success any way I can get it.
In regards to the e3000 problem, when I was returing the original e4200 for replacement at Best Buy, the guy there said that they had seen the ethernet switch part of the e3000 units fail before. I had an e3000, which failed last Friday, which was why I purchased the e4200 to replace it. Of course, my e3000 failed completely, including wireless.

EA 3500 dropping wired connection when online gaming

I just had Comcast setup my internet and it is really fast. 30 down, 10 up, 40 ping, my connection to my computer (wireless) is very fast and my online gaming (wired) is not laggy at all.
The problem lies with the connection dropping when I am online gaming. I connected directly to the modem and there's no problem at all. I connect to my Linksys EA3500 and once I start playing in an online game, I disconnect from Xbox Live and am dropped from the game... anywhere from right away until about 10-15 minutes into the game. This is the only time where my connection falters at all, otherwise it is great. But I play online a lot, and competitively, so I obviously need a stable connection.
I have not had this issue with my previous ISP in New York, Time Warner and that connection was much worse. I'm thinking it must be a setting on the router that is causing this, but I can't pinpoint what. I tried automatic AND static connections from my xbox to the router. On the static connection, I even put a DMZ on it, but to no avail. What is causing this hiccup in the connection?
Any suggestions would be great, please and thanks!!

Are you already using the Linksys Smart Wifi? Set up media prioritization in the router and see if that will improve the connection with the xbox. Is the connection intermittent with other devices? Is there like a specific time in the day where your connection will drop?

WRT55AG router dropping wired connection during setup

Hi, I bought a Linksys WRT55AG router yesterday after my Netgear wireless router gave up on me.
However, when I am setting up the router with the setup cd, it gets to around step 8 when it is searching for the router, but it keeps flashing that the network cable is unplugged, then it will connect, then it will unplug again. This keeps happening, so I am unable to get anywhere with the setup. It appears that the router is resetting itself as the lights all go off when it says it has been unplugged.
I know there is nothing wrong with the network cable or network card I am using, as I can connect directly to my modem without any problems.
This is really frustrating because I cannot easily access the internet without a wireless connection, and the router is brand new!
Please can somebody help before I pull all my hair out? I can't update the firmware either as I can't keep a good enough connection on the router to do that. Is my router faulty, should I send it back?
Thanks
Rob

i see. if after trying to use another power adapter, and then you have the same problem, try resetting the router by pressing and holding down the reset button for 30 seconds then power off the router for 30 secs and power it back on.
If you still have the same problem, you will need to reflash the Firmware of the router.
go to this link and it will guide you thru the process.:
How to Upgrade the Firmware on a Linksys Router
then, after reflashing or upgrading the firmware, reset the router again for 15 secs then, reconfigure it again.
okies?
hope that will help.

Actiontec MI424WR dropping wireless connection intermittently; wired connection works

I've had this router for about two years, with no issues.
Beginning on Saturday, our two laptops and phones began losing their connection to our wireless network, dropping the signal every 30 seconds or so. I tested the wired connection by plugging the laptops directly into the router, and both computers functioned properly - no issues connecting or staying connected. I have my Roku hard-wired to the router, and that also has had no issue, so it'd definitely a problem with the wireless signal to my devices.
Spoke to a CS rep, who had me first check the internet signal (green, blinking sporadically, which I was told indicated no issue with the connection), then had me reset the router and unplug. No dice. She said the internet signal seemed fine, and that "everything looked good on her end", whatever that means. They're sending a new router which I'll receive today or tomorrow, but I have trepidation.
Has anyone else had this issue? I saw alot of router issues on the forums, but wasn't sure if everyone was having this specific problem (just wireless connect issues).
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This turns out to be good advice. I changed the channel on my router settings to 11 (per an earlier post on a different thread), and I haven't had an issue since. Here's the original post: "01-21-2011 11:32 AM that type of problem doesn't sound like a router issue, but instead sounds like a wireless transmission issue. you may be able to resolve that fairly easily.. Try to change the wireless signal. you can do that in the router. open a browser, and go to http://192.168.1.1, user name is admin. and the password is most likely the serial number found on the service tag of your VZ router unless you changed it. Once you login successfully, go to the top and hit wireless, then on the left basic security. then go to option 3 which is channel 1, 6 and 11 and are the only channels you should try. So it will likely be set to auto, change it to 11 and put the check for keep settings even after reboot (Directly under the channel) and then hit apply., after you hit apply, test your connection out, if you notice a difference, leave it like that until the problem happens again, and if it happens again, go back into the router, and try channel 6, test it out. and then finally 1 if the first two don't work."

BT Homehub 2.0 Dropping all connections. Wired and...

Hi All
I recently joined BT a couple of months ago after being with Virgin. I was very happy with the speeds up the service to begin. Then the homehub started dropping all connections, both wireless and wired. This would happen about once or twice per day and the only way to get the connections back would be to power off the homehub. The lights remained all blue and there was no apparently connection issues after ringing through to support. After a few calls to BT they agreed that the router was faulty.
I then received a replacement hub, and after connecting it, I found that it was even worse. It lost all connections about every 20 minutes to the point where I had to hook up the one I was about to return to BT.
I have read similar threads, but nothing has been able to solve my problem. I have checked the channels and tried changing them, although I was the only router on a particular channel to begin with.
I am about to ring up BT tomorrow to request yet another homehub. Before I do I was hoping that someone would be able to help. In the entire time I was with Virgin for 2 years, I think I lost connection maybe 2 or 3 times over 2 years with their supplied netgear router. This is why I really feel the fault is with the router and not the line. I am not against just buying a new router, so any suggestions that people have used with BT would also help.
See below for my router ADSL settings and also speed test results.

E4200 dropping wired/wireless internet connections

I bought it a few years ago and it's ran fine since. I have been pretty impressed with it up until a few months ago when it started misbehaving (dropping connections every 10 minutes or so). I do have the Cisco Connect software installed and have also been using it.
I thought maybe it's the firmware so I updated after the problems began.
-checked my modem which is fine and is working well within the spec range.
I have done the following:
-I have upgraded to the latest firmware, refreshed it multiple times using different browsers (IE, Chrome)
-changed my settings more than a dozen times (channels and 20 vs 40 mhz)
-removed wifi-protect, put it back a dozen times or so
-did a full reset
-turned it over, on it's side, on it's back
-Did a rain dance but all that did was make it rain
-changed cables three times
It has been in the exact same location near the exact same modem and Ooma box forever. Even my hard wired connection drops every ten minutes or so.
I am desperately looking for some kind of solution to this thing as we have weened ourselves (a family of four) of of cable and rely on it.
I would call customer support but after waiting long enough, I know I'd lose connection again.
Would anyone be willing to offer me some advice or potential ixes that I may have skipped? I really appreciate the effort and hope it can be fixed instead of buying another.
Thank you in advance.

To safely update FW, I recommend doing the following: Download the FW file from the support site first.
1. Save router config to file first using IE or FF with all security add-ons disabled.
2. Factory reset the router with all other devices disconnected or turned OFF accept for 1 wired PC.
3. Reload or Update the FW using IE or FF. Just download the FW file to your local wired LAN PC.
4. Factory reset the router and then set up from scratch first and test with out loading the saved config from file. Check to see if any problems are fixed before loading the saved config from file. Sometimes you need to set up from scratch with out loading the saved config file. Just safer that way.
Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations
What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
What ISP Modem Mfr. and model # do you have?
Is ISP Modem/Service using Dynamic or Static WAN IP addressing?
What ISP Modem service link speeds UP and Down do you have?
Check cable between Modem and Router, swap out to be sure. Link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAT6 is recommended.
Check ISP MTU requirements, Cable is usually 1500, DSL is around 1492 down to 1472. Call the ISP and ask.

For DSL/PPPoE connections on the router, ensure that "Always ON" option is enabled.
I recommend that you have your ISP check the cabling going to the ISP modem, check signal levels going to the ISP modem. For cable Internet, RG-6 coaxial cable is needed, not RG-59. Check for t.v. line splitters and remove them as they can introduce noise on the line and lower the signal going to the ISP modem. Connecting to the ISP modem could result in a false positive as the signal to the modem could be just enough to that point then adding on a router, could see problems. Ensure modem is working well too. Bad modems are out there as well. The router operation is dependent upon getting good data flow from the ISP modem and the modem is dependent upon getting good signal from the ISP Service.

Router Placement
Forum User - "Well I feel really dumb. After moving the router away from other electronic devices my speeds are back to normal. Just a heads up for anyone experiencing slow speeds, you might want to move it away from other electronics and see if that helps."
3-6' feet minimum safe distance between devices.
Placement on main level floor and central in the building and WELL ventilated is preferred. Not in basements or closets as building materials, or near by electronics devices could interfere or hinder good signal propagation.

Mac Mini drops WIRED internet connection

Hi Folks,
I have a Mac Mini that keeps dropping it's internet connection every couple of hours. I have tried a couple of different routers and am now using the airport extreme N router which I purchased a couple of days ago but to no avail. Other computers on my network stay connected without any issues, its only the mac mini that keeps doing this and not in any particular pattern. This is with a WIRED connection to the router. When I use the wireless its even more erratic. I listen to music using an airport express that is also connected via ethernet to the Airport extreme but obviously when that keeps cutting in and out.
Was hoping people might have some suggestions here.
Thanks!

Copy down the network address settings when things are ok, then recheck the settings when you have the problem. This will show if your loosing your ip addressing. When you have the problem, try to ping the address of the other computers. If you get a response, this will tell you if the problem is local or connectivity to the internet. (Go to Utilities>Terminal then ping xxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx)

HomeHub 2 wired connections drop overnight

I have a home network based on a HH2. One (older) laptop and a printer have wired connections to the hub, one (new) laptop has a wireless connection.
The wired laptop is a Sony Vaio running Windows Vista. The wireless laptop is a Samsung running Windows 7.
When I wake the wired laptop after it has been in hibernate mode, the connection to the hub has been lost and the ethernet adapter is no longer shown as installed in Device Manager. The conection can be re-established by re-booting te laptop.
Initially I assumed this was a problem with the laptop and changed the adapter's power settings, as is recommended in various forums, but this made no difference.
Since I have been using the new laptop with a wireless connection to the hub, I have found the connection via the hub to the wired network printer is lost overnight and the printer is no longer shown as installed, even when the machine is re-booted. The printer connection is renewed only by resetting the Home Hub or reinstalling the printer. The wireless connection to the hub and internet is never affected.
This has led me to wonder whether the problem is with the Hub, rather than (both) the laptops. Power Save is not enabld on the hub, so there is no disconnection of the wireless link overnight.
Has anyone had a similar problem or a suggested solution? Help wouldbe much appreciated!

Hi Neil and Joanna,
Get in contact with BT and ask for a BT Home Hub 3.
We got our 7th BT Home Hub 2 - yes i said 7, because they are just c - rap! and now have a BT Home Hub 3 which allows me to use my PS3, iPhone, iPad, and other multiple wireless and ethernet devices connected without any problems.
Not had to reset my BT Home Hub 3 since it was installed 2 ish weeks ago!!

Dropped internet connection

I had connection problems with my wrt54g2 v1 router. If I connected from the modem directly to the computer I had instant connection. I tried switching cables between modem & router & computer but couldn't get connection. So I bought a new E1200 router and swapped out the old one. Connections were good for 2 days, but now I'm having the same problem. I turn on the computer and I have no internet connection. I run the Cisco Connect but it doesn,t connect. As long as I bypass the router,
I have a good connection, but I need the router for wireless devices in the house...
Any suggestions????
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hey Jacksweeley! How's your wireless connection? Does it drop along with the router's wired connection? Better upgrade the router's firmware then reset and reconfigure the settings. I do the manual configuration instead of running the setup software, I suggest you do the same thing too.
Here are the steps:
1. Press the Reset button for 30 seconds while the router is powered on. Then unplug the router from power for 1 minute afterwards.
2. Connect the router to the modem and connect the main computer to the router's port 1.
3. Open a browser and type or http://192.168.1.1 on the Address bar. Leave the Username blank and type 'admin' for the Password.
4. Go to MAC Address Clone sub tab, enable it and click Clone My PC's MAC, and hit Save Settings.
5. Configure the wireless settings and secure the wireless network with a WPA/WPA2 Mixed security.
Hope this helps!

Windows 8.1 wired connection problem

My computer with Windows 8.1 started to lose internet connection very often (about every minute). I tried to update drivers for network card, even bought new network card with no result. Also, tried to connect directly without router and connection
still drops. Network troubleshooting did not find any problems, no errors are displaying. What may be causing the problem?

Hi,
Wired connection, have you checked the cable? Please make sure that it's functioning fine.
You can also test the connection with another PC to find out whether the culprit is your own PC or the ISP.

[Solved] Wired connection ok but wireless problem on Intel 5100

Here is how i solved the problem :
1 - get back to the wiki doing everything in order
2 - added dbus in attition to hal in the deamon line in rc.conf

i tried to start wicd manually but it stay busy infinitely :
here is my /etc/wicd/manager-setting.conf
GNU nano 2.0.9 Fichier : /etc/wicd/manager-settings.conf
[Settings]

and what i get ont the graphical interface : no wireless network found
here is my "ps aux | grep dbus"
[root@arch ~]# ps aux | grep dbus
dbus 1373 0.0 0.0 2252 940 ? Ss 14:27 0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system

root 2794 0.0 0.0 3892 872 pts/1 S+ 15:11 0:00 grep dbus
in the preference settings of wicd, it's correct : eth0 as wired connection and wlan0 as wireless
here is my "iwlist wlan0"
[root@arch ~]# iwlist wlan0 scanning
wlan0 No scan results
i've tried a lspci -vv :

I suspect that something is wrong between iwlagn and iwlwifi-5000 which can cause this problem.
I have to say that I'm quite lost here, i hope someone will have an idea
thank you very much

Stab in the dark...the hal daemon should start dbus, but sometimes I've been encouraged to add the dbus DAEMON explicitly (before hal).
I don't really understand dbus too intimately, but I've come across situations where although dbus is running, I can't talk to it because the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_{ADDRESS,PID,WINDOWID} variables weren't visible in the environment I was working in. For instance, if dbus is started by xinitrc, and then some system-level daemon tries to talk to dbus, usually it fails for me, and I have to use some workaround.
Now I would expect wicd to be set up so that the ordinary user doesn't encounter any problems of this sort. On the other hand, the error you're getting does say that it's dbus communication which is failing. Perhaps you could try shutting down hald and dbus, open a terminal, su -, /etc/rc.d/dbus start, and then try from that command line to tell wicd to connect?
