WRT400N Can no longer connect to with cat 5 or wireless.

Been having random connection drops for the past few weeks where I would see the network connections to the router just drop either on a wireless connection or a wired cat 5 connection. As of tonight I cant connect to the router at all. If I disconnect and reconnect the power after 30 seconds it will come up for a short time but then I will lose it again.  I can't get help from linksys as my router is out of warrenty. I'v searched around for similiar problems people have been having, but it seems like mostly involve just the internet connection. I still have the same firmware for the routers as the day I purchased it and the router sits on my desk in a ventilated area not overheating. I'm not sure what steps I can do to further diagnose the problem, I have even tried resetting to factory defaults. Is there any steps anyone here could recommend that I try to diagnose the problem or see if my router is just dead. Thanks in advance.
Peter.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If that is the case then you can try the following steps:
# Open up the browser and on the address bar type 192.168.1.1 that will open up the Router setup page.
# On that same setup page reduce the MTU value to 1400 from Auto
# Then go to the Wireless tab, keep network mode as mixed,
For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
For Channel Settings of 5 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 40 or 161...
Secondly avoid using any other wireless devices like cordless phones, microwave oven etc nearer to the router. Then check the wireless connectivity.

    Can no longer connect my ipad to my wireless router in my home

    Have you tried rebooting the router? Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.
    Turn Wifi off and on on the iPad? Reset the network settings? Forget the Network?

  • Can no longer connect to Airport Express with upgrade to iTunes 10.1

    Since I upgraded to iTunes 10.1 I can no longer connect to my Airport Express (unknown error-15000). Another computer on my betwork running an older version of iTunes still works on the Airport Express.
    Any ideas? I have tried to uninstall and reinstall airport express with no success.

    Rather than disabling the firewall, try making sure you've got exceptions in it for BonJour. Although the following document is about a different error message, the instructions in there are worth trying. (At step 7, make sure there's an exception for BonJour as well.)

  • I can no longer connect to the available wi fi networks with my ipad 1

    For some reason I can no longer connect to the available wi-fi networks with my ipad...help

    If no change after powering your iPad off and on and/or after a reset which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release, try resetting network settings on your iPad at Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will erase all saved wi-fi network settings from your iPad. This will require rejoining every wi-fi network your iPad has access to when returning within range of such a network.
    If no change after this, try restoring your iPad with iTunes as a new iPad or not from your iPad's backup.
    If no change after restoring as a new iPad, your iPad has a hardware problem.

  • With verson 12.01.26 my iTunes can no longer connect to the iTunes store or iTunes Match

    After downloading iTunes version 12.01.26 on my PC my iTunes can no longer connect to the iTunes store or iTunes Match. My itunes displayed a message at the top that it was connecting to the iTunes Store. After closing my laptop and opening it again after a few hours, there was a message stating that my computer was unable to connect to iTunes because of a problem with my internet connection. My laptop is connecting fine with the internet, yet not through the iTunes program, or at least it seems that way. I'm not positive but  feel like the issue may have stemmed when I downloaded the new version, I think maybe I messed up the process somehow by closing my computer or something.

  • Can no longer connect to the internet with the 580...

    Hi, my PC was able to connect to the internet with my 5800 via a USB cable.  Now, I can no longer connect to the internet with the 5800 via a USB cable. 
    I had never tried connecting the computer to the internet with the 5800 via Bluetooth prior to this incident, so I tried that.  Strangely, it works.  
    My question is how come I can no longer use the 5800 via USB as a modem, but how come the 5800 via Bluetooth still works as a working modem?
    Sorry, if my sentences are confusing.  I have a terrible headache at the moment.  While the Bluetooth connection works, I just feel better using the USB connection and knowing that my 5800 has a clean bill of health. 
    BTW, my PC is on Windows 7 Professional at the moment.  I've tried uninstalling the Ovi Suite and reinstalling it, but that didn't work.  I've also tried using PC suite instead of the Ovi Suite but that didn't work either.  What other options do I have, beside hard resetting the phone?  Thanks in advance.        
    Edit: BTW, the message shown when I tried to connect to the internet with the 5800 USB modem was "failed to establish a network connection".

  • Can no longer connect wirelessly with other computers

    I have an iMac and a Macbook Air.  For some reason I can no longer connect wirelessly between the two. They don't show up in Finder.  Therefore I can't use "Remote Disk" on my Macbook Air to install programs.
    Recently I switched from using an Airport router to a Cisco router. Could this be the problem? I can still connect to the internet through my wireless network, but can't find my computers.

    Hello,
    All the information you need is printed on the back of the Hub. There are two passwords, one for the Wireless setting (WPA password) and one for access to the hub (Admin password).
    (Taken from http://www.jarviser.co.uk/jarviser/images3/newhubpswd.jpg  ).
    If you have forgotten what you changed the admin password to, then I'm afraid you're lost and you should factory reset your Hub:

  • Airport extreme. XP outlook can no longer connect

    Since October My wife and I can no longer connect to our office servers using outlook on PC's via Airport extreme wireless. Both our g5 and g4 have no problems.
    The PC's indicate excellent signal and status says "connected "thru our VPN connections to the office.
    Both PC's suddenly stopped working this connection thru outlook and the internet.
    I noticed many discussion people are in the same boat.
    What happened?
    Seems odd this is not getting much remedy information.
    Sounds widespread.
    Are there truly any technical resolutions?
    I suspect something in the latest XP updates, CAT login patches etc.
    My IT office guy is an amazing craftsman and he could care less about a Mac router.
    They ("Windows" OS people) are so sure of themselves...little hope they might suspect there own equipment.

    Two things to try:
    ...Ensure the appropriate NLTM authentication is enabled? Probably NLTMv1.
    Server Admin -> Open Directory -> Settings -> Policies -> Authentication
    ...Ensure that the Microsoft Windows XP clients have a compatible authentication requirement?
    This security settings authentication downgrade is set via an msc widget on the higher-budget Microsoft Windows XP variants, or directly via the LMCompatibilityLevel registry knob available within all Windows variants.
    With the upper-budget Windows versions, you can run the secpol.msc tool, navigate to Local Policies - Security Options, then to Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level, then (if the box is set this way) switch from "Send NTLMv2 response only" to "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated".
    On all Windows XP versions including the lower-budget versions, you can use regedit to switch the HKEYLOCALMACHINE\ SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Control\Lsa registry key value LmCompatibilityLevel to 1

  • After upgrade to 10.7.1 users can no longer connect to shares

    Ok , im not an admin to start off, but after upgrading the OSX lion server to 10.7.1 i can no longer connect to the sharepoints on my mac mini server.
    Through SMB or AFP .. i tried using the connect to server on one of my clients and when i attempt to log in , it shakes the login window as if my password were not accepted.
    Heres where it gets a little confusing to me, i have 2 mac mini servers both running OSX LION SERVER 10.7.1 .... The one that I CAN NOT LOG INTO is my OD Master... the second one is just used for file sharing...
    WHEN i attempt to login into the file share server (which is connected to the OD Master which is rejecting my user logins) i can connect JUST FINE and access the sharepoiints on that server...
    A couple more weird things... on the OD MASTER (again the server which is rejecting all user logins) I CAN login with my admin credentials and access the sharepoints... ??
    -- when i am locally logged into the OD MASTER server, if i add a new sharepoint from scratch and edit the ACL , NONE OF MY USERS SHOW UP nor any of my user groups... it only allows me to add the Administrator access to that share..
    Have i done something very wrong somehwere? this server that is having a problem is only used as a OD master and File share nothing else..
    I did not change any settings besides add a new mac mini server to the OD and performa the 10.7.1 upgrade.
    ANY HELP WOULD BE HUGE as i have spent a 12 hours trying to figure this out before i resort to a re install.

    I've only one hint to you, cause I've mot on Mac-Server.
    With 10.7 Apple have switched from Samba (maybe due to licence problems with GPL based stuff) to a own protocol called "XSMB"
    This had caused problems with some NAS systems too.
    Eventually someone have a glue to solve that, as several users have problems with SMB shares since that.

  • Can no longer connect to certain shares after upgrading to 10.8.4

    After upgrading to the latest version of Mountain Lion, I can no longer access certain shared volumes. I have one machine running 10.4.11 and I can connect to its hard drive. Another machine on my network runs 10.5.8, and I can now only connect to the built-in hard drive. There are also 2 Firewire drives connected to that (10.5.8) machine that I can no longer connect to.
    When I use "Connect to Server" and enter the AFP address of the 10.5.8 machine, I get a full list of "available" shares, but if I select one of the FireWire volumes, I just get a spinning "rosette" for several minutes and then a failure message. I also have an OS 9 machine that I can no longer connect to on the same network.
    I already read the "Connecting to Legacy Systems" notice and still no joy after following the instructions.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks!
    Jon

    No NAS other than an Apple one includes native support for AFP. They all use an open source package called Netatalk that is junk. Many years ago Apple deprecated the old security modules that Netatalk uses.
    The easiest solution is to hack up Lion so that it will connect with the old security protocol. Do a search for "lion dhx2" or something like that. Another option is to update your NAS to a version of Netatalk that includes support for DHX2. That is easier said than done. Netatlk isn't as "open" as other open source packages.
