WRT310N wireless signal issues.

My router works fine when wired.  But, when i try to search for the wireless signal from my laptop or my PSP2000, it doesn't even show up on the available network connections.  My laptop network adaptor is the Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN if that matters any. Any help would be appreciated.

Try to adjust the wireless settings on the router..Open the router setup page by typing 192.168.1.1 in the address bar.Click on the wireless tab,Change the Channel Width 20MHz only and Channel to 11...Keep the Network Mode in "Mixed" and SSID broadcast "enable" and click on save settings...
Under the Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...
Now,power cycle the router and check...

  • MacBook Pro wireless signal issue

    I've been experiencing this issue for at least a month now and it is driving me up the wall. Occasionally, my wireless signal will drop and I'll either be unable to connect to websites, or when I do it takes a very long time. And the only cure I find for this is to go to the menu bar and 'Turn Airport Off', wait a sec, then 'Turn Airport On'. This is a pain and I'm sick of doing it.
    The drop occurs intermittently, some times once a day, sometimes 10 times in as many minutes. Most of the time I can see the signal indicator in the menu bar drop from 4 bars to 3. Also, it isn't a matter of signal strength as I am sitting 10 feet from the router.
    I know it's not an issue with my ISP (Verizon Fios) or their router, because wired hosts dont have this problem and the wireless Windows hosts in my house dont have the problem.
    I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue, and if there is a fix. Thanks.

    So is this an authoritative answer? I have seen exactly the same problem. My wife's MacBook Pro keeps losing its connection, but my iMac G4 and my Powerbook G4 work fine. We are all talking to the same Dlink DI-524 WAP, but only her MacBook Pro has this problem.
    The workaround I have been using is to renew her dhcp lease every time she loses contact. This works, but it's a PIA as you say.
    If I were to want to go back to 10.4.8, how on earth does one do that? Does Apple have any official opinion on this problem, or better yet, a fix?

  • Fix for wireless signal issue in Leopard

    1. Open your computer
    2. Find the cable that attach your airport card to your system board
    3. Unplug then reattach both ends
    Worked for my "connection failed", "low signal strength" issues.

    Seriously, is that how this problem has to be fixed? I think I'd rather have an Apple person do it, than try it myself.
    Everything else has worked so nicely and the reputation of Mac is so high that it's been vastly disappointing that my new Mac keeps "forgetting" how to connect, the password for connection, and the keyboard freezes up. And to top it all off, the AppleCare support that I paid extra for isn't available when I need them!

  • WRT310N Wireless Security Issues

    My router works fine as far as wired internet is concerned.  I've set up my router configuration as WPA-2 and set up a 9 digit numeric passcode.  All of my wireless devices (X-BOX 360, SAMSUNG LED TV, and SAMSUNG BLUE-RAY) can detect my network. However even as I input the passcode into my devices,  they all read back " Cannot connect to network" When I turn off the wireless security to my router, all of my wireless devices work.  When I turn it back on, nothing works.  I have tried using auto detect settings on the wireless devices for IP, SUB, and DEF GATE, and I have tried manually inputting this information from my router page.
    Perhaps someone could shed some light on this matter for me.

    Is your wireless computers and devices support WPA2 security....?
    Have you checked with different security like WEP or WPA...?
    If it does then,try to change the Encryption to AES and check

  • WRT310N Wireless Issues

    I recently got the WRT310N router and I've been having some major wireless issues. First, I tried using many different forms of encryption (WEP, WPA, WPA2 Personal), but many times my computer told me I had the wrong password when I actually copied and pasted it from the Linksys router admin page. Eventually, I was able to get WPA2 Personal encryption to work (I'm not even sure how or why), but now every so often the wireless signal just dies and I usually have to manually reset the router in order to get it back. Sometimes it comes back on its own after some time. The time it takes for the wireless to die is variable: it can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 20 hours. I have noticed however that it tends to die when a 2nd wireless user connects, although this may be coincidence. I tried removing wireless encryption, but this didn't help the problem. The firmware is the latest version as well. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!

    Hi
    SInce u said , u tried on unsecured network as well still facing the same problem .
    which O.S u are using on computers ?
    First , If you have wireless - G adapters in computers pre-installed.
    Follow the Magic Link for Information , what to change and where.
    Second , If u are using Wireless N adapters in computers pre- installed.
    Follow The Magic-2 Link For Information , what to change and where.
    Third , If problem still persist .
    Try this Magic -3 Link For Information , what to change and ofcourse where.
    observe these settings, and dont forget to Power cycle whole network after saving the settings.

  • Infinity and wireless router issues

    Hi Folks,
    Thanks for taking the time to read this, if anyone has any similar issues or resolutions to the situation feel free to chip in..
    We had Infinity installed a while back and noticed some intermittent connection problems, the issue was that wireless connections would suddenly loose the gateway and go offline but unusually it was always fixed by simply restarting the network adapter on the client machine, the wireless signals were always near full strength.
    Later on I noticed that although the clients seemed to loose connection it actually appears to loose DNS and keeps existing connections live, example below, meaning that if you had fired up a streaming connection before the 'drop' it would continue to stream to the client perfectly although the client could not access any new connections(online).
    The setup we were given on installation consisted of an Infinity wired(only) box that connects to our old wireless router which appears to be acting as a wireless bridge to the Infinity box.
    Having been a BBI Tech for a well known ISP Customer Service Centre, using a process of elimination I am guessing that there is an issue between the old router and the new Infinity router that is causing conflicts to crop up.
    **Example** A friend working out of the country was using a VNC client to logon to my machine as he couldn't access our DB servers from his location, he became confused when he was using my desktop and suddenly he lost online capability.... even though he was remotely logged into my machine to witness it he couldnt open any websites or connect to any DB's.
    I would appreciate any input as im thinking that the best way to fix this would be to buy a new Infinity capable modem with wireless built in, but am reluctant to do so as the standard kit should work after being setup by the engineer..
    In summary:-
    wireless drops dns with signal full, (not a signal issue)
    current connections stay open, (again not a signal issue or problem with the broadband)
    cannot open any new connections, (not sure if this is dns based as cant even connect to direct ip's)
    the clients have all been fine on other wireless networks, (not just tested on an individual, faulty adapter)
    renewing the connection from the client fixes the issue, (something to do with lease times or bad routing maybe?)
    The wireless router is one of the black homehubs.
    Any help appreciated as im having to write this post using my 3G connection to ensure i dont get dropped.
    Thanks
    Mike

    This is the setup left by the engineer...

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus - Wireless connection issues with Wireless Extender

    I have a TPLink Wireless 300MBps wall plug extender to boost the wireless signal around my home.
    When in use my OfficeJet fails to connect to the wireless network at all, even if you 're-configure' the wireless as a new connection from the printer.
    Turn off the extender, reboot the printer, and voila - it connects within seconds.
    Any ideas as to what I can try?

    I think there are several things at play here.  The most suspicious is that the extender and the router are not the same brand.  There may be some protocol issues with this setup that the printer will never be happy with.
    Can you move your main router and forget the extender?

  • Wrt310n wireless connection disappears

    All,
    I recently bought wrt310n. I wanted a GB switch and N wireless.
    Consistently, the wireless signal will stop (disappear) then reappear, maybe. It's very sporadic and I've done about everything I know to do to stop it.
    It's not interference or settings. I can get it stable for 2 days then down. Then back up...
    Any clues?

    Access setup page of router .....
    Click on Advanced Wireless
    settings>>Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation
    Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings" .....

  • New Hub 4 Wireless connection issue

    Hi There
    Looking for bit of help/advice.
    I recently upgraded my router from the BT hub 3 to Hub 4. 
    I am having issues with my devices picking up wireless signals in certain parts of the house.  Never had this issue with the Hub 3.
    Has anyone else experienced this?
    Can I use Hub 3 as a wireless extender? If so, help how to do this would be great.
    Should I just return hub 4 and keep my old router.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Nad

    I doubt very much that it can be configured as a wireless repeater, very few routers can.

  • Wireless connection issue with specific iPads

    There seems to be a wireless issue with specific iPads. I sat with an Apple Genius in an adjacent Peets Coffee. His iPad connected on the first try after entering the access code. I had been trying all day with my iPad. This was after the Genius had me "Reset Network Settings" to return the factory defaults. Still no luck at Peets with my iPad. The coffee shop wireless signal on my iPad was 1 out of 3 bars. Yet this same iPad continues to have no issue connecting at the office or at home.

    That's interesting. We also have the 64 GB Wi-Fi iPad. It connects fine at home, but only got one bar at the coffee shop and wouldn't connect this morning. Haven't tried it anywhere else yet.

  • HT1595 Trying to connect my new apple tv to the wireless network. When I try to use the remote, the Apple TV doesn't respond (doesn't go to the next screen). Could this be caused by a weak wireless signal?

    Trying to connect my new Apple TV to the wireless network. When I try to use the remote the Apple Tv doesn't respond ( doesn't go to the next screen). Could this be caused by a weak wireless signal?

    It is not properly connected to the network.
    Make sure location is set correctly
    DNS should be on auto (settings - general - network)
    Try ethernet
    Signal strength on device won't account for issues, you would need a network report from istumbler, netstumbler or similar. This will show accurate signal strength along with noise and nearby networks

  • *BOOT CAMP* Windows XP not picking up wireless signal on Lion

    I just got a new iMac two days ago and was able to install Windows XP from my old Dell Latitude boot disk. Yes, I thought it was odd... But it worked. I do understand that Lion only provides Windows 7 drivers in Boot Camp Assistant, but I was able to install Boot Camp 3.0 and 3.1 drivers for XP, right from the Apple Support Boot Camp driver link.
    Well... My main issue lies here... When I switch to the XP side, it wont pick up a wireless signal. That's all I need so that I can start updating Windows from the internet, but it is not picking anything up.
    I'm assuming that I am just missing the driver, but like I said, I installed the drivers provided by Apple. This is very frustrating and am not sure what to do.
    Can someone PLEASE point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.
    Brian

    This appears to be a problem with some of the newest MacBooks. There are several posts on this issue. It is possible that, as you seem to have noticed, switching to an NTFS formatted partition will solve the problem. See e.g. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5947955&#5947955

  • Time Capsule not producing wireless signal

    We have a time capsule serving as our main wireless for the house and it recently stopped producing a wireless signal and has a solid amber light. I've tried leaving it unplugged and I've tried resetting the device. Neither of those plans had any effect at all. How can I fix this?
    I believe my wife bought this in 09 and its got a 2 TB hard drive. Not sure which version that makes this.

    Unfortunately, a solid amber is light is not a good sign.
    Try a complete Factory Default Reset on the Time Capsule using the steps below. This procedure will not affect any of the data that you have stored on the internal hard drive.
    Power off the Time Capsule for 15-20 minutes or longer
    Hold in the reset button on the back of the Time Capsule first, and keep holding for an additional 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back in to the Time Capsule
    Release the reset button after the 9-10 hold period and allow a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart
    The Time Capsule light should normally stay solid amber for about 30 seconds and then change to a slow, blinking amber light, indicating that the Time Capsule has been reset and it can now be reconfigured.
    If you try the Factory Default Reset a few times and the light stays solid amber, unfortunately the hard drive has failed, or there is an internal power supply issue with the Time Capsule.
    You should take the Time Capsule to an Apple Store.....if you have one in your area.....or contact Apple Support directly to discuss your options. 
    http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
    If the Time Capsule is out of warranty or not covered by AppleCare, Apple will not offer repairs but there are some shops that specialize in this type of repair. See this link for more details:

  • TC wireless speed issue.

    I performed a hard reset due to connection issues. Kept losing the connection which I thought was Comcast but appears to be TC.
    I have my laptop setup via ethernet to the modem and speed test is returning 24 & 4 for down/up loads.. My desktop is upstairs and connect wireless with the speed test results coming in at 1 & 4. Any idea why the download speed would be so bad and is there anything I can do to improve other than moving modem upstairs?

    So it appears that it is related to the distance from the TC to the other computer.
    It is much more likely that the problem is related to obstructions in the signal path....not distance. The TC wireless will easily go up to 150-160 feet or about 50 meters with no obstructions in the signal path.
    But, a typical wall of sheetrock or wallboard and 2 x 4s in a home will absorb, on average about 15-25% of the signal. A ceiling is typically about 3 times the density of a wall, so anywhere from 60-70% of the signal is not going to make it through.
    If the signal must pass through a few walls and a ceiling, there just isn't much left of the signal....even if it only travels a distance of 20-25 feet. So distance is not the issue.....obstructions are.
    Adding an AirPort Express may help. But, adding it in the wrong location will not. If it is located too close to the TC, then not enough signal reaches the upstairs area. If the Express is located too far from the TC, then it receives a very weak signal....and it can only "extend" what it receives.
    You could try locating the Express at different locations to see if you can find one that works satisfactorily, but ultimately, you may need to think about running an Ethernet cable upstairs and connecting another AirPort there to give you the wireless signal coverage that you need.
    If you cannot run the Ethernet cable, you might want to consider using a pair of Homeplug Ethernet powerline adapters to possibly send the signal over the existing AC power lines in your home. The theory here is that you already have the wiring in place....you just need the adapters.
    The reality is that these devices do not always work well in every situation. So, if you decide to try them, it would be a good idea to understand the stores' return policy in advance in case you need to try other models...or powerline adapters simply do not work in your situation.

  • I have a net gear wireless router and a APE working great inside the house, but the wireless signal is weak in the backyard, can I get a net gear extender for the back and it will also send my music to the airport express?

    I have a net gear wireless router and a APE working great inside the house, but the wireless signal is weak in the backyard, can I get a net gear extender for the back yard and it will boost our wo
    Ireless signal and also send my music to the airport express? Or does the airport express work as a stand alone hub?

    Trust me when I say this coming from 20 years of experience.
    Get a powered external drive, format it 1 Partition Option: GUID and OS X Extended Journed as the format in Disk Utility.
    Download and install Carbon Copy Cloner, clone internal drive to external drive.
    Set a schedule to remind you to do it at least once a week, keep it near your charger.
    When you plug your charger in, do plug the clone and power the machine up, set the display to sleep only,
    CCC will do the rest.
    If you want to boot from it, hold the option/alt and select it Startup Manager.
    I've seen many TimeMachine and TimeCapsule nightmares and so far haven't seen a problem from anyone using a bootable clone.
    It's simple, it's easy, it's more reliable and more powerful than what Apple does and it only takes plugging in a extra cable.
    Make as many clones as you want, keep them time seperated, off site etc. etc.
    Cables don't have network issues, clones can be verified in seconds merely by booting from them.
    Clones protect your productivity, your up in seconds on a clone despite even the hard drive dying.
    Software problem? No sweat, boot of the clone and reverse clone your problems away.
    If you want to fuss and muss with half implemented TimeMachine and TimeCapsule network headaches then prepare to suffer.
    I don't like to suffer, I bought a Mac not to suffer, but it appears you do with TimeMachine and TimeCapsule.
