WRT1900AC Random Wireless Disconnects

Anyone with this modem experience random wireless drops that last a few seconds? At least once a day, usually late night, everything connected via wireless loses connectivity for a few seconds then reconnects.  Both 2.4 and 5Ghz go down simultaneously.
Here is my router info:

I've had this same problem for the last few months.  Called support last week and tech said it was probably channel conflict.  Not sure why channel conflict would take the entire wireless down though...  Tech recommended that .ac technology is not for everybody and that I would be more satisfied with older n series router?!?!  He opened a case and said I should call customer support and ask to RMA the router I have and purchase an n series router or the new ac router Linksys just announced.  Just spoke with another tech and she wanted to charge me for additional support.  This is exactly what I was afraid of when Belkin purchased Linksys!  I'll be ripping out my current router and purchasing another brand.  Sorry just realized this should be posted under the EA6900ac post.  Still dissapointed wtih Linksys.

  • Wireless Lan Controller users randomly get disconnected

    Hi to all,
    We have issues where clients randomly get disconnected from the wireless network, i have a 4400 WLC with the version 4.2.176.0 and suddenly users are getting disconnected, what i've noticed is that the users are attached to one access point at 100% signal straight and at 54Mbps but suddenly the signal and the speed goes down and the client roams to another access point that is far away from the users location (the user never moves and is next to the access point that they should connect to).
    It seems that the Auto RF algoritm is not working correctly, I upgrade to the 6.0.182.0 release but the problem still remains.
    Any ideas of what else should i try??
    Thanks in advance

    Further on this investigation is that we are using Intel based Wireless adapters in our laptops across the company. All adapters that support 802.11n specifications had issues, except one particular model X200 running Windows XP SP3. Intel has also come up with a fix for the 802.11n clients dropping their connectivity and it is available here:
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-71056.html
    The specific section on this page is as below:
    Version 13.01.1000 (6MWC18WW)
    (New) Added support for Intel WiFi Link 5150.
    (Fix) Fixed an issue where wireless connection might be dropped in 802.11n mode.
    Would be curious to know what type of Wireless NICs is everyone else using. What is the driver version? Driver date?
    Thanks!

  • Why is my wireless disconnecting frequently when using Safari but not Firefox.

    Ever since upgrading to the latest Apple Software on my iMac, I have been experiencing wireless disconnection but just on Safari. Also HTML images in emails are not loading. Firefox works fine.

    Hi Sebaz, first try repairing permissions. Go to Applications-->Utilities-->select Disk Utility. Select your drive then select the First Aid button then  at the bottom right click Verify Disk and after it verifies your drive click on Verify Disk Permissions on the left. If there any errors click on Repair Disk Permission. Reboot your machine and test your Safari to see if the issue comes back.

  • WRT54G V8.2 Wireless disconnecting

    Hello, I have recently updated my firmware for my router and ever since (might be a coincidence or not) my wireless will disconnect and my router's page is also unaccessable at that point. I can still see my wireless network and when I attempt to connect it just stays on connecting for a long time.
    I have another computer connected by wire and this computer never loses connection. When my wireless stops working that wired computer can no longer access the router home page either.
    The whole problem is quickly fixed by unplugging my router (power cord) and replugging. At that point everything returns to normal for a while (6-7 hours possibly more or less). It starts all over by my wireless disconnecting.
    Securities I have setup:
    My laptop is quite old so the only wireless protection I can offer is WEP128 (Which is enabled)
    I also have MAC filters on the wireless only enabling computers with a MAC address in the list to connect to the router.
    Please help not sure what the problem is and it is getting a little annoying.
    Thanks

    You need to hard reset your router for 1 minute...
    Press and hold the reset button for 1 minute...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 1 minute and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...Also do the Advance Wireless Settings...
    On the router set-up click on Wireless tab and change the channel to 11 and save the settings...
    Click on the subtab "Advanced Wireless settings"
    Change the Beacon Interval to 75...
    Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304...
    Change the RTS Threshold to 2307 and click on "Save Settings"...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...If you still face the same problem you should get your router replaced...

  • Tx1000, when wireless disconnects, have to restart computer

    I have an HP pavillion tx1000 (Windows Vista) that I bought in Dec 07.  Every time the wireless disconnects, I have to restart my computer to get it to resconnect to my wireless again. It will disconnect from my wireless whether I'm using my computer or not.  I know it is not a problem with my wireless, since I do not have problems with  anything else connected to my wireless.  I have changed the wireless client. updated the driver and tried disable and enable the wireless, yet nothing works except restarting the computer.  The computer does tend to get hot, but I have it on a laptop fan and the wireless disconnects regardless of how long my computer has been on. 

    i have exact same problem with my tx1000... could you please let me know if you resolved this issue?

  • [solved-ish] random usb disconnect

    Hi
    There's a first time for everything and today that seems to be a random USB disconnect.
    So my USB dongle was disconnected and wouldn't reconnect when replugged.
    Does this error message mean anything or should I be looking elsewhere to try and find the cause of the failure? Google hasn't turned up much of use and didn't see much on the forums here either.

    Hi, a lot of people too (myself included). After upgrade, any usb unit goes away (some external devices like mouses excepted), usb pendrives dissapear (and become corrupted for any other computer), battery goes down  quicklier and performance is affected. It seems 10.9.2 doesn't manage correctly hardware physical connections by asking them continuously. This is my young macbookair performance since I unfortunately upgraded to 10.9.2 four days ago. A lot of people is calling in all forums for questions (iphones, Cameras, external drives, monitors...) that are all related with this missfunction with physical connections.

  • E3200 - Wireless disconnects and slow speed

    I bought the E3200 in order to replace my "old" and "outdated" networking equipment, which happens to consist of a Linksys WAP54g access point, connected to a Netgear RT311 router. That old setup has worked reliably for years, and with decent speed. However, I have noticed my wireless connections dropping off every now and then, to the tune of a few times a week, and thought that it might be time to get new N-based equipment.
    The E3200 arrived last night, so I installed it right away. Installation was actually a breeze! But, that is the ONLY reason I even gave this unit more than the minimum of one star. I was able to get this router up and running, and connected to my cable modem, in no time. And then, connecting all of our wireless devices to it was pretty quick too. Thus ends the good part of this review...
    I worked from home today, as I do fairly regularly, and NEVER in all of my days of doing so have I had so many wireless disconnects! My work laptop is a year-old Lenovo W500 running Win7 Enterprise 64-bit, souped up with lots of memory and hard drive space. Like I said, only recently had I noticed any sort of drop-offs when talking to my 802.11g AP. Well, it seemed like every ten minutes my laptop would get disconnected today talking to the new 802.11n AP/Router. Isn't N-based equipment, and this E3200 in particular, supposed to be really fast and reliable? This one certainly isn't! Oh, I've only complained about the reliability part so far... Trust me, the SPEED is terrible too! While my laptop's wireless connection in Windows was telling me that I was connected at between 117 and 130Mbps pretty regularly, there is no way that can be true! I am a programmer, so I am connected to the office over VPN every day, and we use Microsoft's TFS for our source code. Over my G connection, the code came over pretty quickly. Over the N connection today, it was DOG slow! I mean REALLY bad! Took forever to get my source code! And, web pages seemed to load really slow all day! Just loading this page to write this review seemed to take a lifetime!
    I really think this thing only deserves one star, and that being for the ease of the setup. But, since one is the minimum, I gave it two. As to the value for the money? Not there. This unit isn't cheap. I paid a little more to get a better quality product, but I am left disappointed.
    My intent here is not to slam the Linksys product really. I have been using a Linksys wireless-g access point for years, and I love it! However, I want to (a) warn other of my experience, and (b) see if anybody has any ideas as to how this can be fixed, perhaps. Maybe the out-of-the-box configuration always behave this way, and it just needs some tweaking??? I hope so, but I doubt it. And if this is not merely a matter of a little tweaking, I intend to return this router, and reconnect my old, faithful equipment.
    -- UPDATE --
    I am sitting within a few inches of this lousy router with my laptop, trying to tweak its settings via the web interface. The wireless connection is still really slow, and keeps timing out. I could probably plug in to the GB port, but the purpose of this exercise was to see if the connection problems were due to distance and walls. Apparently, they were not. Sigh...

    Although I am not the aforementioned Scott, my experience with the E3200 has been very similar.  What lead me to do something about it and find this thread was the constant wireless dropping.  Working from home and having the connection come and go multiple times a day will motivate a person.
    This started happening after having the E3200 for 4 months.  I did the firmware upgrade, but not the reset/reconfigure, and things cleared up for another 3 months.  Then shortly after having the new Dish Network Hopper/Joey system installed, the problem came back.  Not sure if it had anything to do with it but that was the only thing that changed in my environment.
    The Hopper/Joey is Ethernet wired to the E3200 via a MoCA bridge and does add additional network traffic.  Also there is a ZigBee wireless remote which may or may not be causing additional interference.
    Regardless, I did the recommended 30 second reset and reconfigure including picking channels for both wireless types.  Everything is back up and running good so far.  Fingers crossed.

  • Wireless disconnection

    My Macbook's wireless connection will stop working after some hours of non-interactive use. For instance, last night I was playing an audio book as I went to sleep and when I woke up it was still playing but my wireless connection was gone. I had to manually re-attach to my wireless network.

    I have a Linksys 802.11g wireless router. I don't remember seeing this problem with my Powerbook G4. The Macbook/Linksys combo is screaming fast most of the time, and my Macbook seems to have terrific wireless reception (it shows many more wireless networks than the Powerbook or even my wife's iBook can see).
    Any ideas?

    Hi Batmensch -
    If you can get access to your router's config, try this - set the channel to anything other than the default.
    I had the same problem, and it seemed to spread to my wife's PC on the same LAN. PC & Mac with the same problem - sounded fishy!
    There are four wireless networks that I can detect from my desk, so I wondered if they were somehow interfering. So I reset the channel on my router from the default 11 to 7, and Hey Presto! no more wireless disconnection.

  • Wireless Disconnection issue with WRT160N v3

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm having trouble with my new WRT160N v3 router.
    It's currently updated with firmware Ver.3.0.02 Build 3.
    My setup is as follows:
    Wired connection: 2-Desktop Computers & 1-Xbox 360.
    Wireless connection: 1-Laptop, 1-Xbox 360, 1-Platstation 3, 1-PSP & 1-Wii.
    The issue is that EVERYTHING connected wirelessly disconnects after a short period of time in use, whether I'm doing work on my laptop or gaming (and all my consoles are connected wirelessly) - everything disconnects.
    Another thing is that there always seems to be a loss in reception and the router is just in the other room (approx. 10 meters away).
    I sat and I configured the router's wireless settings over and over again with all kinds of settings, but it just doesn't seem to help.
    What is going on with this router? it's very problematic because a lot of people are complaing about the same issue.
    I especially went out to buy a new router and ended up buying this sad router that really gets a person upset.
    It's really frustrating being in the middle of a multiplayer game when you get disconnect because of a router that can't even keep it's wireless connectivity up, and this issue happens on every single piece of hardware I have that connects wirelessly.
    Has anybody got any suggestions regarding this issue or some or other wat to solve it?
    Thanks for all the help!

    Try to readjust the Wireless settings on the router...
    Open the linksys setup page by typing 192.168.1.1 in the address bar.Reduce the MTU size to 1365 and click on save settings. Now,Click on Wireless tab and change the Channel Width to 20GHz only and Channel to 11.Click on subtab Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,RTS Threshold to 2307 >>Click on Save Settings.

  • SL440 Over Heat and Wireless disconnect

    Hi
    I have a problem with Thinkpad sl440. I get these types of problem not a single laptop but also any of them.
    First problem is over heat I measured overheat of the HDD by crystal disk info After one or two hours left its temp goes to 50°c.
    Second one is wireless Lan Disconnect  after few hours later the wireless disconnect automatically and it also doesn't show any wifi signal in his range. But after restarting the wireless lan work again. After that it goes to disconnect again after few hours.
    I hope this problem occurs from over heat from the motherboard..
    Please give me a solution.

  • Wireless disconnect automatically

    I bought an iPad Air 32  v 7.1.1 yesterday, when I'm using internet ,My wireless disconnect automatically and I must open setting/wireless and select my network again(I didn't pick "ask to join network) what can I do!?

    Reset your router and device. You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.

  • Wireless disconnecting constantly

    Hi everyone,
    I had BT infinity installed over a month ago. In that time the wireless has been disconnecting nearly everyday. It has got to the point where I have been power cycling my hub (home hub 3) a few times a day on occasion.
    I couldn't connect at all last night, I testing using an eternet cable and had a connection but the wireless still wouldn't connect. I have tried various settings - changing channels etc based on inssider but to no avail.
    Has anyone got any ideas, or could it be down to a duff home hub? I think the longest period i've had a solid wirless connection is maybe 3 days.
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    Sam

    If you are staying connected by Ethernet when the wireless disconnects it is more than likely a faulty hub. One thing to try if you haven't already and that is to carry out a factory reset of the homehub by pressing a pin into the recess button on the rear for about 20 seconds. This can often sort out configuration problems with the hub.

  • Ideapad K1 Wireless Disconnects

    I have experienced frequent wireless disconnects with my new K1.  I have several other wireless devices and none experience these inconsistencies.  The wireless signal may suddenly disconnect and then reconnect several times while the K1 is stationary. Moving the tablet closer to the router helps but even 2 feet away, the signal is not 100%. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Check the wifi settings, you can turn off the wifi sleep option.

  • Intel wireless chipset clients random Citrix disconnects

    Currently using intel 5100 & 6200 client cards on multiple driver versions. WiSM is 7.0.116. APs are 1250 and 1260 series. Citrix is setup to send server-side keepalives for session reliability. Randomly, several times a day the client will get disconnected from the Citrix application session but maintain connectivity to the AP and other applications continue to work. Traces show the server-side keepalive reach the controller but are delayed from controller to client by 5-6 seconds. Just enough time for the Citrix server to timeout and tear down to session. Additional testing shows the delay most likely occurs somewhere from controller to AP. It occurs on multiple controllers on multiple campuses.
    We have Dell/Broadcom clients that don't experience the problem. The only commonality seems to be the Intel cards. Any ideas? CCX? I know Intel has a special relationship with Cisco regarding CCX and have developed features not available on other cards. Tried disabling power save and other CCX features but hasn't solved the issue. Any ideas are appreciated on this very strange problem.
    Thanks!
    Sent from Cisco Technical Support iPhone App

    Update to this issue. I've found the 5 second delay actually is occurring on the AP. Packets traverse normally through the entire network but randomly delayed at the AP. TAC is looking at it but no cause found yet. Also verified this seems to occur only with Intel wireless chipsets. Others (Broadcom etc.) don't experience the problem.
