WRT54G - Cable disconnects -have to reconfig

Lately everytime my cable modem loses connection and i reset the modem, i then have to reset my router to default settings and reconfigure everything. I'm running WEP along with MAC address filter so it has become quite a tedious task when i have so much to add.
I can't figure out if it's time for a new router or a new cable modem. It has been working just fine for 2 years so i am really confused at what could be the problem. I also have tried the firmware upgrades but it never likes it so I'm not able to upgrade it.
Any help will be appreciated.

First, try & check the modem connected to the pc is not dropping the internet...if its dropping very often issue with the modem.If its not dropping the connection issue is with the router...you need to buy the new router.

Satellite A20-S103: LAN cable disconnected

hi
i cannot get access to my LAN or internet.
I'm using a Satellite A20-S103 with a Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC.
When I connect the Lan cable to the LAN port, appears the message "LAN cable disconnected".
The same message appears using de ConfigFree-Connectivity Doctor.
I changed several cables, used cables that worked on others computers and the message still there and no access to the router/modem.
The LEDs near the LAN port are not lightning (neither orange or green, none)
I have already read the posts here in the forum (and in others forums) and i cannot make the ethernet card work.
Do you think the problem is with the card or the OS.
Can you help me?
Sorry for my English

Check firstly if the LAN card was recognized in the device manager.
Under Network Adapters you should see the LAN card.
If there is an yellow exclamation mark near the LAN card then either the driver was not installed correctly or there is another serious error.
In first case I would recommend removing the LAN card from the device manager and after new reboot you should try to reinstall the driver downloaded from the Toshiba page!
Furthermore you should set the TCP/IP settings to automatic because the router assigns the IP address automatically.
Please check this and report the results
Good luck

PROBLEM
when i start up pc it will not boot i get the "no signal or cable disconnected" on monitor.
I have stripped pc down and rebuilt, i have reset jumper [Bios] also removed battery. have removed memory and video card and still wont post just seems to hang.
I have had this problem occur before but it has came back after constantly rebooting but now it wont.
All i can guess is that either cpu is locked up or mobo vga load up is damged in some way.
I have had this on OC but this time i reduced and cleared nvram and also set spread spectrum to test. pc went to reboot then crashed then seemed to just hang
Can someone please advise me on what i should do to test if it cpu of mobo or what else it could be ?
Thanks M3DS

never bothered with D-bracket did try to install it to see, but got nothing =[
have tried different vga cards no change

Z77A-GD65 Ethernet Problems "Network Cable Disconnected"

I've been running a Z77A-GD65 and have been having network problems with the onboard ethernet. Every time I go to play a game online I'll play for about 10-15 minutes and I'll be disconnected. When I'm back on the desktop, my ethernet icon on the taskbar will show "network cable disconnected" even though everything is plugged in fine. Fiddling with the cable or changing the cable does nothing. Reboot the machine and it's working fine until again I play a game for 10 or 15 minutes and the same thing happens.
First, the card was showing the wrong MAC address as specified in the MSI FAQ for this mobo. Performed the fix but the problem is persisting. Tried the MSI driver and the newer Intel one. One time I got a "Code 10" error as posted in another thread and again, wouldn't correct itself until I rebooted.
This only happens when I'm playing games. Web surfing or downloads work fine and my connection won't be disconnected until about 10-15 minutes into playing an online game.
I put in another discrete Intel network card and that worked fine. No problems. Same with plugging in a USB wifi adapter (my current temporary solution). Therefore, I'm thinking it's an issue with the onboard ethernet or driver. Anyone else with this problem or how to resolve it? Using the latest v10.5 MSI BIOS.

Removing the Asus Xonar did not help.
Re-flashed the BIOS as well using a DOS boot USB key instead of M-Flash. Readjusted all setting to default. Enabled/disabled "Network Stack" in the BIOS (what is this supposed to do anyhow? It's undocumented).
Wiped all drivers for this network adapter and re-installed the current ones from MSI's website. No change.
Noticed that the adapter would correctly run at gigabit full-duplex when set to auto-negitiate. However, it would drop down to 10mbps before it finally showed "cable disconnected". Plugging and unplugging the cable did nothing until I reboot, then it would work again... until I ran a game online and it would disconnect after 10-15 minutes of play. Ran the Intel cable test and it was fine (and the cable and internet has been fine when used in conjunction with another discrete PCI-e Intel card).
Re-crimped the ends to be sure. Tested again and the cable connection is good. Yes I know how to crimp ethernet so please don't suggest anything being wrong with the cable.
I've pretty well nailed down that it is an issue with the onboard ethernet. I've read on Intel forums about problems with this chip on Asus boards. Hopefully an MSI employee can point me in a direction that could help, or at least have the problem resolved in a future BIOS update.

What are you getting on the TV? Are you getting a completely blank screen, or are you getting a message similar to 'no input detected'? Or are you seeing the spiral galaxy desktop? If you go into System Preferences -> Displays then do you have an 'Arrangements' tab?

Are you connecting your iPhone directly to your PC or to a USB hub?

In the garage I have a Netgear Router. it is connected by a ethernet cable, I have a 1tb drive that I want to use there. On the drive there is only a USB port. on the Netgear there is only ethernet ports. is there an adapter that will work for that?

It's not that simple. You need a "smart" device to connect a hard drive to, like a Time Capsule, or another computer, or an Airport Extreme/Express that was made to share a drive, or some other brand router that has a USB port for sharing a drive, etc.

I have WRT54G v3. Have new computer running vista -- changed WEP security to WPA. New computer works fine.
Went to use my laptop today and even though it shows a WPA secured connection and says I'm connected -- I can't get on-line. Laptop uses WIN XP. New computer and older wired desktop connecting fine.
What do I need to do to make hp laptop & new hp compatible?
Thanks

I followed directions for Nortons firewall -- I also downloaded Network Magic.
Last night I ran ipconfig on both computers and didn't change anything but they both came on-line. Not sure what or why but they were at least working.
Just now I followed directions for Nortons firewall on new computer which has 2008 I believe........then downloaded Network Magic and installed on both PC & laptop.
The only difference is the version of Norton which os '05 on the laptop. I see a secure connection - WPA - on both computers.
New question: I have a 3rd computer, an older PC which is connected direct to the router. This is primarily for my husband to use for e-mail and browsing the web -- no need to share any files and it has a separate printer. Should I also run Network Magic on that computer or leave it as is?
Thanks so much to both of you. I was up till late worrying about this.

Cable disconnects while opening port

My cable disconnects while trying to open a port to connect to the internet. I try to query the modem in device manager diagnostics and it replies port is in use by another application. It is trying to use com 5.This happened after a software upgrade.
Bluetooth works fine including the modem query.
How can I find out what is using com 5 or can I change the port to a free one?

It's in recovery mode. Plug it into your computer running iTunes and restore it.

WRT54G Suddenly Disconnects

Its fine when i start the modem and used it for maybe around an hour, then it just suddenly disconnects.
it shouldn't be a ISP issue because when i dial up manually it never disconnects.
When it disconnects, i need to restart the router to continue using the internet, this gets really annoying when you're browsing stuff or gaming.
Please help, I'm using WRT54G, firmware v7
Windows 7 ( i guess the windows doesn't affect my internet connection )

Who is your Internet service provider?
If you connect the computer directly to the modem, it works fine.
Try to upgrade/re-flash the firmware on your router.
Connect the computer to the router with the Ethernet cable. Download the latest firmware from Linksys website and save it on your computer. Open the setup page of the router. Click on Administration tab and go to Firmware upgrade sub tab. Browse the firmware file that you have already downloaded and upgrade it on your router.
After upgrading the firmware on the router , it is recommended that you should reset the router and reconfigure the router.
Press and hold the reset button on your router 30 seconds. Release the reset button and wait for 10 seconds. Power cycle the router.
Follow this link to reconfigure the router with cable Internet service.
Follow this link to reconfigure the router with DSL Internet service.
Once you reconfigure the router, open the setup page of the router and reduce the MTU to 1365. Power cycle the router and check the connection

WRT54G v7 disconnections solved

Hi,
I updated the firmware with this one and the disconnection and out of service problems went out.
The update was done from router Web admin panel and the configuration of precedent firmware (7.00.4) has been saved.
Now the problem is that Web page has been a bit screwed. A file (share.js) containing JavaScript is broke and some code of the page is not written. The page still have correct Spanish (I live in Spain) characters with all tildes and nothing of chines (that's why the Web of link is in chines ).
Maybe the problem is just the JavaScript file with incorrect code but i don't know how to solve this, since access to file is not an option (or it is???).
Well fortunately I think I could write a local page with frames to correct this... meanwhile my wifi router WRT54G v7 is still working without an issue (and with p2p softwares running all the times).

Hi...
Try reseting and reconfiguring the router. Also set it up as keep alive specify the redial period. Change the MTU setting of the router to manual and specify the value as 1300. Also the PPPoE connection on the computer should be disabled when router is dialing.

WRT54GS v7 Disconnects random

I have a problem, my wireless router has been disconnecting randomly for about as long as i can remember. i upgraded its firmware to 7.50.6 and it still does it. Most of the time that it happens it connects right back up within seconds but sometimes i have to reboot it (unplug and plug the power cord). Its getting very annoying because sometimes im downloading something or streaming something and it gets disconnected or when playing some games on my PS3 i lose all my progress and waste 20-30 minutes for nothing . it basically has normal default settings except it has a WPA Personal TKIP password. but everything else is set to default. When it disconnects it disconnects both wireless and wired connections. It happens to the laptop, desktop , and even my ps3 when playing online. Can anyone help me out ? Any help is very appreciated, Thanks.

Since you have already upgraded the firmware of your Router, have you resetted your Router and reconfigure all the settings on it again, If not then Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
Here are the wireless settings which you can set on your Router, I think this might solve the problem.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bit.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...
Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
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"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

Ipad2 restore failed due to cable disconnect

Hello, I have an ipad2. I was trying to restore the ipad due to lost password. During the restore, the cable got disconnected.
Now I have an unusable ipad. It stays on itunes/recovery screen.
When I connect it to the laptop, it tries to do restore/update then it comes back 'The ipad could not be updated. The device cannot be found'.
My computer's USB does not recognize this ipad due to corrupted firmware as a result of failed restore.
What can be done?

Hold both buttons and turn screen black again... What happens when you touch power button? does it turn back on to the itunes/recovery screen? Or try holding power button until you see the slide to power off appear... then hold both buttons for hard restart... If nothing else call Apple.. they will still help if you schedule a phone call online.. They will call you... no $$$$ needed...

Cable disconnected with macintosh and sg200 26 cisco router

I owe a SG200 26 port switch and it works fine so far.
Amacintosh computer (mountain lion) has been added to the wired net. Everything works fine t first, but there's a sudden disconnection issue.
It seems that the macintosh computer is not able to communicate to the switch, and the macintosh prompts a lack of cable connection. None of the lights on the switch are on.
If I plug the macintosh cable directly to a router ethernet port, it works properly.
I need some advise about that, please.
Does anybody know anything?
Thanks.

Hello everybody,
I encountered a similar problem with my 2011 iMac 27 and a Cisco SG300-10. Especially after coming from hibernation the Mac claims to have no ethernet connection (no physical cable attached) from time to time, although lights on the switch are on. I need to reboot the Mac in order to get the connection back.
Above that there seems to be some trouble negotiating the correct settings between those two devices. This is some typical console output from the Mac regarding its en0 interface after the wakeup:

As you can see, the link goes up and down like the Santa Maria on Columbus' first expedition. In addition to that there is no "EEE enabled" entry although the network chipset (BCM57765) is EEE compatible and the Cisco affirms "EEE Support on Remote" for the specific port.
I don't know if there is something wrong with the Mac OS X network driver (10.8.2) or with the switch firmware, at least I thought I let you know and maybe you can take a look or have a hint.

WRT54G V5 disconnects

I have a WRT54G wireless router. Lately every 20 minutes aprox. the router seems to disconnect my modem and knock it offline briefly. When I have my modem directly connected to one of my PC's this issue does not take place. I have the latest firmware version for the router and have tried two of the same routers and the issue still happens. I am using a satelite connection through xplornet.com Anyone know of anything that will fix this in the router settings? It didn't happen for the first few months using the router, only recently.

I have read on other forums that these router are fairly touchy as far as how much data you can push through them before they give up and reboot. Have you recently started using any file sharing programs that could be potentially generating more traffic than your router can handle? If you yourself have not started using a program ilke this, then has someone else that could be connecting your network? Do you have any type of wireless security setup? If not then I would recommend doing so in order to stop people from abusing your connection. Another posibility is that there could be something else residing on your omputer generating traffic, like a virus. In the past there have been several viruses that generate enormous amounts of traffic on networks. Check the LEDs on the front of the router and see if any of them are blinking unusually fast.
