WRT300N, dropping connection speeds, losing wireless all together

I have a WRT300N with updated firmware (v.1.03.3) and have tried the magic beacon interval and RTS/Frag. Threshold tricks and I am still randomly losing wireless all together. Any suggestions please????

Try changing the channels... Set the radioband to standard instead of wide... and set the standard channel to 11...

  • Is this a dropping connection or a wireless issue....

    Hi all,
    We've been having some problems with our Infinity setup for a few months now and it's getting a bit annoying, I could use some help in fixing it
    So, every evening (could be daytime too, we dont use it then really) our connection seems to drop every 10 mins or so. If I'm gaming, it will drop me out of a game and I'll have to reconnect. I can usually reconnect in seconds. If we're watching Netfilx, it will stop, and restart a few minutes later...
    Oddly, the blue Hub lights (HH3 I believe) never falter, solid blue throughout.
    Restarting the router (and white box thingy) works pretty much everytime - and only occasionally are we disconnected for more than a few minutes.
    The setup is Infinity 2 I think, into the master socket. I'm running a handful of Apple devices, a home server, a Mac and a PS3. Probably important that none of these devices have changed at all location, spec or otherwise.
    Occasionally my server cannot be found on the network either, despite it running continuously - a restart usually cures this but would it point to a dodgy router? (it's a wired connection,so no wireless issue)
    I'm guessing I need to run some tests but not sure what?
    I did try and call BT Support a while ago, but the chap said he couldn't help me because my Mac Air has no ethernet cable, just wireless

    seems to me like a faulty router or modem mate, to make sure its not actually dropping fully you will want to login to the router page using 192.168.1.254 then going to troubleshooting and then helpdesk and it will tell you the uptime. login with the password which should be on the back of your router. do this when the wireless next drops. btw dont keep resetting the white modem, it will cause your speeds to drop as it will think its a line fault, just reset the homehub. if the uptime is less then 2 mins then its dropping fully, if its more than than lets say 1 hour for example (and you reset it one hour ago before the wireless dropped) then its most likely just the router being faulty.

  • WRT54G2 keeps dropping connection, wired and wireless

    I have a Scientific Atlanta modem with WRT54G2 wireless router. Both are around 2 years old. In the past few months, I keep getting periodic connection drop, couple times a day, day on day off. I have 2 wired connections and 3 wireless connections to the router. I check with my internet provider, Cox, they say my connection is fine. So I guess it's the router or modem problem.
    The funny thing is when connection drop, I cannot access any web sites via wired and wireless. However, my downloads in iTune are still running fine at full speed. I have to unplug and replug both router and modem for it to work again.
    Is there a way to fix this? or do i need to buy a new router or modem?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It's possible that Cox only recognizes the router's MAC address, probably the reason why you can't connect directly.
    Anyway, try to lower the MTU settings on the router.

  • E4200 Constantly Drops Connections (Wired and Wireless)

    My E4200 seems to be dropping connections throughout the day.  For wireless it'll still show full signal and connection, but there will be no internet activity for about a minute.  Then after a minute things will work just fine again. 
    For wired I notice it in my XBox mainly when I get dropped from games as constant as the wireless drops.
    I believe my modem isn't the problem since the old router never dropped connections on the hard wired devices.  Occasionally my old D-Link router would drop wireless, but never this frequent
    I am running 1.0.02.  I've rebooted the router/modem several times.  I even reinstalled the entire setup with the current version of Cisco Connect as the tech person suggested, but still no help.  The first week or so using this router was flawless, but ever since then it's been dropping connections several times throughout the day to any device connected (wireless or wired).  The problem seems that the router just hiccups the connection very quickly, so quickly that Windows doesn't even recognize the connection has been lost, but long enough to drop a multiplayer game on XBox or to have me mashing refresh on my internet browsers.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    I have not had this problem with my router and have had it since Feb 2011. I did have a range extender from WNR2000RPT Netgear that I had to reboot everyday and finally threw it away and bought the Linksys RE1000. The combination is flawless in my 3000sqft. house.  I will say though it may have to do with your setup and what channels you are on. I have my router setup just for wireless and not as a DHCP server and let my FIOS router handle DHCP. Just so I am not running 2 seperate networks in the house. I also gave my E4200 a static IP as well as the Range Extender static IP. So there would not be IP address conflicts that could cause for possible issues.  I did have a problem with the latest firmware disabling my USB for my external hard drive so I had to downgrade to resolve that issue.

  • HT4847 How do i remove photos from i cloud without losing them all together.

    How do i remove photos from i cloud without losing them all togther.

    I'm assuming you mean photo stream, since photos are not stored in icloud except for backups IF photos are set to be included in backups - and you can't remove photos from a backup after the fact.
    Photo stream is a conduit for copying photos from one device to another - it is not designed to store photos long term (photo steam only keeps the photos for 30 days and only up to 1000 of them).
    When photos are downloaded to a computer (always sync photos from an iOS device to a computer for archiving one way or another, photo stream is one such way), you should always move photos from the photo stream folder/album to a permanent location.  Once moved, you can then delete them from the stream.

  • Differing connection speeds dlink wireless router

    So my router is set up for G+ speeds and my roomates' Dell inspiron and my macbook pro santa rosa connect at 54mbps while my other roommate connects at 108mbps with his toshiba, what can I do? it's the same for me in windows and mac os, so I know it's not mac os doing it. Is there any way to change the speed I connect at? Atheros wireless was supposed to be top notch but I can't get the speeds yet, I'm about to go out and get a new wireless n router to see if I can connect at N speeds if I can't find a solution for this.
    Any help would be great.
    p.s. I can't get specific model numbers right now, but all firmware and software is up to date

    It's not going to be particularly useful to seek help with a D-Link product here. To be sure, some Mac owners use these routers, but without specific knowledge of that particular model, it would really only be possible to give you broad and general advice on it.
    You might, therefore, find a better line of assistance at the D-Link site (http://www.dlink.com/) and from the instructions/user guide for your specific device. If you don't have the instruction/user guide for your device, you should be able to access it there.
    That said, having used a D-Link 604 for some time, and not had any issue with setting security, I'd be surprised if your unit were not capable of this. In the security screen when you access the router, there should be a button to save or confirm changes which you need to click once you have set the security type (WPA is more secure than WEP) and the required password.
    Likewise, with MAC address filtering, though beware that when setting this, you will need to specify the MAC address of your system (specifically the interface you use to connect it, so if wifi, the MAC of the system's wireless card) at the outset, otherwise once set, you won't be allowed access to change it!
    D-Link user guides are not the best written in the world, but are reasonably easy to follow.

  • WRT300N - Dropping connection with 2.4Ghz phones.

    I have just installed a new WRT300N and 2 300N PCI adapters for one of my customers.
    Each time the customer uses her 2.4Ghz cordless phone, the signal on the Linksys goes dead. I can be sitting right next to the router and not get any signal. When she hangs up the phone, the Linksys kicks back in after a minute or two.
    I have made sure the client PC and the router have the latest firmware/software. I've tried different channels but can not solve this issue. The customer is using Uniden 2.4Ghz phones. They used these phones without issue on their old Linksys 802.11b system. I used Linksys for all of my clients and have not seen this issue before.
    I've experienced interference before from 2.4Ghz devices, but never complete loss of signal.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    I have the same problem! My tenant who lives on the 1st floor uses a 2.4 cordless phone and my router is in the same floor level as my tenant is..... I live on the second floor.....unfortunately I am trying to avoid to bring up my router  to avoid clutter and cat 5 cable running all over........everytime she use the phone, connection will just degrade and eventually get cut off.......it will take sometime before it reconnects...sometimes it reconnects while she is still on the phone ...most of the time it won't..... 
    I changed the settings instead of the default "auto" I changed it to wide channel and setting the channel to "9" instead of the default "1" ..and I still have to see if it will help....overall I am not really happy with WRT300N...I should have research more about this router before purchasing. The worse thing is I think Linksys or Cisco is not doing anything about this problem...............Also that's too bad that routers uses the same frequency as cordless phone  2.4 and 5.8  ......

  • Has anybody solved the slow wireless connections speeds of the new Imacs

    I have just purchased the new imac...and was made aware of the disastrous connections speeds using wireless.. Does anybody know if apple have come up with a solution...or are they just not dealing with the problem?

    I am a brand new Mac user with a new 24 inch iMac purchase. Macs are supposed to be hassle free right? Right. No question I was about ready to throw it out the window because the wireless connection to the expensive AP base station was, oh, 100x slower than my Dell laptop side by side about 1 foot away. Nothing changed even if I connected directly to the AP using an ethernet cable. My connection consists of an Actiontec DSL gateway connected directly to my AP extreme that allows wireless to my PC laptop as well as my new iMac. Hours and hours go by until I find this help link on Mac Orchard Forums:

  • Cannot cancel 'connecting to PC wirelessly' notification

    I have just set up Wireless Media Transfer on my Xperia Z3 Compact running Android 5.0.2 (Lollipop?); the set-up worked fine as did the subsequent file transfer activities.
    However, I now get a notification 'connecting to PC wirelessly' all the time (if the PC is shut down or I am away from the house) and I cannot close the message.
    If I tap the message, then I get an option 'cancel connection' but even when this is clicked, the notification persists; it doesn't even go away for a few minutes and then reappear... It just won't go away. It is not helped by the fact that as I move about the house the Xperia changes it's mind about whether to use the router'so 2.4GHz or 5GHz band whereas the PC is fixed to the latter.
    I know that I can tell the Xperia to 'forget' the PC but then I would have to re-establish the connectivity when I want to use it. As the setup process involves first connecting the two devices with a USB cable, this is pointless... I might just as well stay with USB.
    Is this a bug with the software, or is there a switch somewhere that I can use to stop these annoying notifications? (I could not find anything in the 'App Notifications' area.)

    I sort of followed what you suggested. I turned off the tablet, then connected the USB to PC, then turned on tablet and whala (?menospeakofrencho).Now my next question is how do I play the music I synced to the tablet from PC. Have version of Media Player on tablet yet there are no options for playing the SD where the music was supposed to be synced.Any suggestions, please. Really would like to use it because no MP3 yet and I have a "Click Mix" album of work out tunes with high bpm.Thank you,Debocombo.

  • Dropping Wireless Connection & Speed Slowing Down

    Hi,
    Up until a week ago I had two BT lines, I will call them line 1 and line 2.  Line 1 (front room) was used purely for phone calls, and line 2 (middle room) had Broadband activated on it. When it came time to renew the yearly line rental I checked and had it confirmed by BT that the available Broadband speed was faster on line 1, so I decided to cancel line 2, and move my Home Hub 4 into room 1 having arranged to activate Broadband on what in theory should be a line that gives a better speed.
    My current problem is two-fold. Firstly I am not yet getting the line speed that I was expecting. I have spoken to the Technical Help Line, and understand that following the activation of Broadband on the line in Room 1 I should wait 10 days for the available speed to stabalise. Currently I am 7 days on from line activation.
    A few days ago I was getting download speeds around 2.70 Mbps, with upload speeds around 0.38 Mbps. The IP profile for the download speed at that time was set at 2.77 Mbps. The IP profile for the upload speed was set at 0.45 Mbps. Over the past week I have done numerous speed checks and found that the speed did vary, as might be expected, but was generally always around these figures. Because of the line check speeds I was given by BT's own staff I was expecting the available speed to get better, not slow down! I was originally advised to expect line speeds of between 3.5 Mbps - 5.5 Mbps.
    Over the last 24 - 36 hours the speed has slowed down, and a few minutes ago these are the figures I observed:
    Download speed achieved during the test was - 1.3 Mbps
     For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 0.8 Mbps-2 Mbps.
     IP Profile for your line is - 1.33 Mbps
    Upload speed achieved during the test was - 0.34Mbps
    Additional Information:
    Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 0.45 Mbps
    Line speed then is one issue, but there is another.
    My second, presently very frustrating problem is that even though the Hub 4 is consistently powered, and maintains a steady Blue light showing that Broadband is available, my wireless connection that I receive from the Hub keeps dropping. I should add that the distance from the Hub 4 in Room 1 to where I work with my laptop in Room 2 is only about 15 - 20 feet. I used the old Hub 2 until a few weeks ago, and neither my daughter on her laptop, or myself, had any problems with 'dropping' the wireless signal, whichever room we were in, or even if we used our respective laptops elsewhere in the house. I was convinced enough by the publicity 'blurb' to believe that Hub 4 was more reliable, with fewer drop-outs. So far this has not proven to be the case.
    I know that I need to wait a few days more till the 10 days are up, but would really appreciate some kind soul commenting on the above. I have looked at the Logs, but without knowing what segment would be helpful in aiding a diagnosis of my two issues I didn't want to provide unnecessary information. So if any particular element of the Logs would be useful, please let me know.
    Yours in hope,
    Alan
    Solved!

    Hello again,
    With your help I was able to locate the place to change the channel manually, which I did, thanks for that. It only resulted in a marginal improvement, but any improvement is good I guess.
    HH4 has now been showing a steady connection for three + days, so, as requested, here are the noise stats:
    16:14:16, 26 Nov.    ( 76.170000) DSL noise margin: 22.00 dB upstream, 12.20 dB downstream
    16:14:16, 26 Nov.    ( 76.080000) DSL line rate: 448 Kbps upstream, 3104 Kbps downstream
    I have done several speed tests and they all show broadly similar results, namely that my download speed is usually around 2.67, whereas my IP Profile is set at 2.74.
    I don't know whether this is worth mentioning but I only have an old style BT socket on my line, not one that has a test socket inside, so I can't do any of the tests using that facility.
    Although my broadband connection has been stable and active on the HH4, as far as using wireless to connect my laptop in another room I do still get several dropped connections each day.
    Even when I am connected to my HH4 by wireless, and my signal, as now, is only in the four bar bracket, by looking at the other Networks that are active in my street/area I can see, although it is rightly secured, that someone is using a HH3 and the signal on that is powerful enough to register a full five bar (excellent) strength on my laptop. How near or far away from me that user with a HH3 is I do not know, the point is however I can receive a more powerful and consistent signal from their Hub than my own. I must confess to being puzzled by that. What could be the reason?
    Is there any further help or guidance that you can give that might assist in raising my IP profile, in the hope that my speed might increase? Or do you have any further suggestions as to how I might reduce the noise on my line to a more acceptable amount, so that my signal might give me a better wireless connection?
    Thanks again for any advice or help you are able to give.
    Regards,
    Alan

  • Problems with the Fios 20/5 connection speed in my area dropping down to less than 3mbs.

    I have written out a flyer that I plan to go door to door with. Since I am under contract with Verizon, I am forced to honor my side of the contract. Even if they are allowed to make me pay for a service that I am not completely getting. I am very displeased and as soon as my contract is up, I will change back to My local cable companies all in one that does not require a contract and has no issue such as the one I am having.
    Do you have Verizon Fios Internet?
    Are you on the 20/5 connection?
    If so, you may not be getting the speed you are paying for. I am on a 20/5 connection and when my computer is on for longer than an hour the internet download speed with Verizon Fios starts to slow down until it is below 3mbs. It takes about 24 hours to get down to 3mbs but only about an hour or two to get down to about 6-7mbs when I am paying for 20mbs…
    I have 3 computers in my home that have Windows Vista, Windows XP home edition and Windows Media Edition 2005. All of the computers run into this same exact issue, I have tried every setting I could think of with my 24 years of computer technical experience. I finally took one machine with Windows XP and ran a full format on the hard drive and reinstalled a fresh Windows Xp Operating system onto the hard drive so it is a bare bones OS. This way there is no other software on the machine that could possibly be causing the problem and found that when I connected online through Verizon Fios the machine still ran into the same exact issue. This proves to me that the issue is not on any of my machines.
    Now all of this time my buddy that lives 1.2 miles away from my house has been having the same issue with three computers at his home also. He has Windows Vista on two machines and Windows XP Pro on one.
    When I concluded that it was a Verizon Fios issue, after a few months of trying to get by, researching, diagnosing and losing much information in order to verify it was on Verizon’s side, I contacted technical support at Verizon’s online website. The agent and I went through the regular procedure that anyone would have to go through and I patiently explained what I had done to try to diagnose the issue. The agent came to the conclusion that he could not figure out the problem so he guessed that the Verizon router/modem may be the issue and told me he would send me a new one by mail.
    I received the new Verizon router/modem, installed it and had to call to have it activated. Afterward it still had the same exact issue as the prior router/modem. So now we know it’s not my computers, it’s not the router/modem. My Verizon router/modem is connected right at the Optical Network Terminal (ONT), which is the box that connects the fiber-optics to your home, usually just inside or outside your garage wall. Mine is just outside…
    From here my buddy, who has been having this problem also the entire time, called the local office of Verizon Fios and an installer was setup to come over to his home and trouble shoot the issue. My buddy called me and told me when the installer was headed to his home and I met him at his home to see what the installer found and in hope that my issue would be fixed at the same time. The installer went through the system at his house and was frustrated about not finding the reason for the issue and ready to leave without fixing anything. I simply asked that he stay long enough to see the issue present itself within an hour-hour and a half.
    His laptop itself already showed the speed drop from 20mbs to between 16-17mbs, it was on its way down. He basically told us something that online tech support already stated to me, it is extremely difficult to prove it is on Verizon’s side. In other words it is extremely difficult to prove it, in a way that will convince Verizon to check its own servers, routers and software updates to their own systems. The installer, good guy, couldn’t/wouldn’t stay but we did convince him not to simply drop the issue. He called shop and they sent another installer out to take over the issue.
    The new installer, great guy, got up to speed on what was already done at my buddies home. The first installer, checked and replaced the Verizon router/modem, checked the wiring and splitters. Basically went through the entire system up to the Optical Network Terminal (ONT), the box that connects the fiber-optics to your home. He pulled and replaced the Optical Network Terminal (ONT), thinking that perhaps the unit was compromised. While he was doing this job a tech was called and asked to stop by for assistance with the issue. The tech checked the computers inside and tried to do some settings that the main office informed him to try. I explained to the tech that the same issue was happening at my house, that I went through every setting I could think of and find online to help alleviate the issue. After some shop talk about what I had tried, including the full format and reinstall of the operating system on one of my machines, he just as I came to the conclusion that it couldn’t be with the computers and since everything that had to do with the Verizon Fios system from the street to the end-user computer had been checked, verified and/or replaced, the issue had to be coming from Verizon’s main office.
    The installer had already checked the main at the road that has the 3x2 green service cover on it by the side walk. Everything was in good working order. The tech called the main office to see if my buddy and I were on the same hub, basically a big splitter that continues the service from the main office to the homes, we were not. So that was ruled out…
    My understanding of the system ends there. The only other components I know of are the Main branch’s routers, servers and software.
    Verizon had a new connection speed added to their system, 25/15 about the same time our issue began. So I am guessing that when they updated the system to include this new connection speed they corrupted the software for the 20/5 connection.
    We have been waiting to hear from the tech that was at my buddy’s house, to see if the issue will be dealt with. My buddy has called him a couple of times and he has mentioned that he is trying to get it addressed and to call back if we hadn’t heard from him. He remembered who he and I were and what the issue was, so I believe he is taking it seriously. How far he can move the issue is beyond me…
    I want to add that my buddy and I have been customers with the all in one package from Verizon Fios since their services have moved into our area, about a year and a half… It has only been since about June that this issue has presented itself, before then we were on 7th heaven with the speeds. We couldn’t have been more than happy with the services.
    This issue has caused that to all go afoul, not only do the speeds get down to less than 3mbs but the speed is not smooth at all. Rather the 3mbs speed is stop and go, freezing in between at times, very choppy. Barely usable at times, unless you restart the computers and start over.
    We are hoping that anyone with Verizon Fios Internet Services will keep an eye on their speeds by going to http://speedtest.net and doing tests to verify they are getting the speeds they are paying Verizon for.
    This is what it will take for Verizon to take this issue seriously is to gather everyone on the system that may be having the same issue. I believe it is everyone that is within the 1.2 miles from my house to my buddy’s and will distribute flyers to each and every house in between.
    If you find that your speed is not as fast as it should be please contact me and I will add you to the list, this way we can see exactly how far this problem covers and perhaps it will also help to show a pattern and understanding as to why the issue is present in the first place.
    My contact information,
    I have left this out here, you can contact me on these forums...

    Actually what this came down to was an issue between Windows Vista and an Ethernet Card on one of the machines in each of our local networks.
    Even though our two machines are 6 years apart, we both have the same ethernet adapter on our main desktops. A RealTek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet Nic. It seems that the adapter does not work at the 20mbs download speeds with Vista. For some reason the adapter does not shut down when the computer does? I don't understand why but it doesn't, it keeps the connection alive. I removed the ethernet cable and pulled the power cable and had my two other computers still connected to the network and found that the issue was resolved. The way I found out was that I used the connections on my main computer to hook up one I had laying around and through further testing found the problem no longer existed...
    Then I realized that my buddy and I installed Windows Vista at about the same time, a couple of months ago. Funny how you can forget an important detail like that. Then I remembered that he had the same identical ethernet adapter as I did, I had noticed that while trouble shooting his computer at his home but didn't think it was important at the time. Until the issue was narrowed down to the adapter, then it all seemed to all fall into line.
    Quite humbling... In the end, anyone who has Windows Vista and this NIC probably will have problems with the 20mbs download speed of the computers on their own networks. I tried the latest Vista driver from RealTek and also tried to roll back the driver, with no success....
    Back at the beginning when we first had fios installed in our homes there wasn't an issue when we had the 10/2 speeds and had Vista. Then we decided to change from Vista to XP because we both were having issues as to what programs you could use and which you could not, shortly after having fios installed. Then when verizon upgraded us to 20/5 we were amazed at the speed and still had no issue because we had XP on our main computers with the RealTek adapters...
    We reinstalled Vista because it seemed like we were having more issues with XP by getting hit with Antivirus2008 and its variants and thought it time for a change back...
    It didn't really hit us that Vista could be the culprit because we both have a laptop in our networks that have had Vista on them from the get go when there were no issues... We also didn't notice just how bad it was right away and over time kind of left the Vista install out of the equation.
    Just strange that one computer can effect all the other computers on the network, even when it is shut down...
    I allowed the other two computers to run 24hours and the issue did not present itself, when I added the main computer with the RealTek adapter back to the mix it reappeared. The Realtek adapter is the only real common denominator between his machine and mine.
    So now we have three choices,
    We can go back to Windows XP.
    We can buy a new NIC or a wireless card to replace the RealTek...
    Hopefully this post will help anyone else who runs into this problem, it has been very frustrating to say the least...
    Thanks to everyone for their help and I apologize for complaining about verizon when it was not a verizon issue. I came to the conclusion that the only part verizon really played was upgrading us to a 20/5 tier which I am thankful for...
    Would be nice if this card was on a list that Verizon support could use to troubleshoot , diagnose or eliminate for future support issues.

  • Slow and dropping connection WRT300n v 2/WMP300 v 2

    Slow an dropping connections on WRT300n v 2/WMP300 v 2 updated with latest firmware/driver.
    Before update it gave a speed of 3-4 mbit/s and after update about 30 mbit/s, this is just a bit better(10-13%) than the D-link products (604/AP2000+/DWL-G510) i intended too let go of old age.
    For E-mail and surfing the web this speed is ok, but sharing files and use a mediacenter its not ok.
    Next problem is that after about 30-40 min of full load the router just dropps all connections and reboots or what ever.
    The Linksys products WRT300N/WMP300 is not a what a expected it too be

  • Connection Drops Consistently. Hub Lights All Blue

    Hi,
    Throughout the day the internet will just dop for all devices. It does not happen when a lot of people are connected, that has nothing to do with it. 
    We are relaxing and have to go up and reset the hub constantly. I need the internet for work. 
    We have a BT home hub 
    What can we do,
    thanks

    welcome to the BT community forum where customers help customers and only BT employees are the forum mods
    in order for the forum members to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router you may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or if HH4/5 then go to troubleshooting then logs and you are looking for 2 line together when hub last connected to internet and they will show your connection speed and noise margin or if netgear enter 192.168.0.1). Then run  btspeedtester  (MAC users may have problems). when first test completes then run diagnostic test and post the results ( do not reset the router).
    If all the hub lights remain blue it suggests it is still connected yo the internet so it is wireless devices that appear to drop connection?
    are you connected directly via a filter to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Is the master the only phone socket in your home?
    Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
    Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem
