WRT54G constantly needs factory reset

We have a Linksys WRT54G version 1.1 (Firmware revision is 4.21.1) that I have customized with various settings including mac filtering, time zone, IP restrictions, SSID name etc..
For whatever reason from time to time (no identifiable pattern of when or why) the internet drops out completely from all 3 computers (2 wireless and 1 wired to it) and the ONLY and I mean ONLY way to get it back (it is definitely NOT the cable modem) is to reset the router to factory defaults via the router admin pages.
As soon as I do that the internet comes back, but since all my settings are now lost, so I immediately restore my configuration to what it was before via a saved cfg file. After that the internet still works for some days/weeks, but it ALWAYS needs factory default reseting again (via the admin pages; not the button).
Its gotten to be very annoying and while I know a power outage DOES cause it (it has several times) there are times like today when there was no known outage. As far as surges go, I have no idea if we're getting power surges or when they'd occur.
To me it seems like some memory buffer is filling up and clogging till it can't spout data anymore because over time the internet becomes slower and slower till we power cycle it. Power cycling it alone though does not fix the internet no-access problem. Power cycling "may" just fix the speed issue.

I believe I've tried this before and have gotten the msg that the router is already up to date with the same revision of firmware. With this msg being up I assume that the reflashing did not go through.
Any more dice?

Hp mini 210-1000 1041NR need factory reset

How do you do a factory rest on this netbook it doesn't have a cd Rom drive

Hi:
If your notebook came with a recovery partition, you should be able to power on the PC, tap the F11 key at the beginning of the HP welcome screen and select a factory reset option.
If you do not have that option you will need to order a USB flash recovery drive.

Constantly needing to reset Airport Extreme

Hi! I have an Airport Extreme network set up in my office with an Airport Express acting as an extension. The Airport Express works for a day or so and then flashes amber the next day. I constantly need to unplug and plugin the Airport Express for it to work. If anyone has any tips, that would be great!

Seems to be the firmware update. This board is full of complaints. Hopefully, someone at Apple is working on a fix. It worked fine before this dumb update.

Constantly need to reset keychain

Leopard X.5.2 on 2.16 Ghz 24" iMac, and the original black Macbook. Within 24-36 hours I have to run Keychain repair because 2 email accounts keep asking for the password sending/receiving mail. Every time I run the repair I see the same report "unspecified value for port attribute"for those accounts.
I have repaired permissions. Any other thoughts?
Here is the Terminal output when I asked for the permissions:
XXXXX-XXXX-iMac:~ username$ ls -alde ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
-rw-r--r-- 1 username admin 82612 Apr 7 17:39 /Users/username/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
Are these right?
To protect my friend's privacy I have replaced his username with the actual word username.

those permissions are correct. quit mail and try deleting all keychain entries relating to those accounts altogether. next time your friend will have to reenter his password again but it might fix the problem (then again, it might not).

Notice that the first question is whether you want to erase the configuration - you respond with yes, and the router continues booting. The second question displayed clearly shows that the router continues loading the configuration file and in particular processes the no service password-recovery command.
What would happen if you answered with n to this second question, preventing the router from accepting the no password-recovery stored command? Could you reload the router afterwards and try the password recovery procedure again?
Also, if this router has a removable Flash card, would you be able to enter the ROMMON and set the configuration register to 0x2142 if you removed the card and tried booting the router?

Your laptop came wirh Windows 7 Home Premium. Changing display language legally is not possible unless you get an option during start of install. But in an OEM laptop chances are that you've to live with the language Windows came with from factory.

WRT54G Ver 6 Constant Need To Reset!

I purchased a WRT54G Ver 6.0 Router in April to bring to Iraq with me. I have it connected to my iDirect 3000 Satellite Modem, with the static IP config input into the WRT54G.
I have two computers on my desk, my personnal XPS 1710 with Vista and my Work D600 Latitude with XP. Both computers exhibit the same problems at the same time. I have even had other computers connected and have had the same problem.
My problem seems to be a constant need to reset the WRT54G Router. I was connecting wirelessly. The system seemed to operate fine for a day or two. I started to have problems with the connection to the internet dropping. When it did this, I could not connect to the WRT54G setup page either. I figured something locally here at the Camp in Iraq might have been interfering with the wireless, so I ditched the wireless and have been using wired connections. The problems have not stopped. I am constantly having to unplug and reset the router to reconnect. When it hangs up, I cannot even connect to the setup page. Occasionally, it will find itself without reseting the router, but most times, I have to reset.
I have tried factory default reseting and manually reentering my settings. I have just updated the firmware, but it didn't seem to solve anything. In the past few minutes while trying to search for this problem here on this forum, the router dropped the connection twice. The networking icon on the computer still indicates a connection, on the Vista is shows that a local connection is available only (during the problem).
I have read a little online and this seems to be a common problem for Linksys. I have 2 more of these routers, one at home and one at my office in the States. Both have had the problems, just not as severe. This router requires reseting at least 15 times a day during my 12 hour shift.
I bought the Linksys Routers because they did have a reputation for reliability and quality. Boy, I guess I should have researched this one a bit more.
I have 5 IP addresses from my Satellite ISP, so I am considering configuring the Router as a Switch or HUB, but I am unsure on how to do this, or of it will even solve my problems.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Vincent

I am having the almost exactly the same problem. It started about a week ago, (just like alot of others I have read on here recently) and I too will have no access to the set up page once it drops the net. I can still acess other computers on the router, but no net and no router set-up page until I reset it. I'm running the same router, without the firmware update. I have 4 desktops directly into the router..and one laptop wireless. Most of the time, the net will stay on for all the computers for surfing and email. Maybe once or twice a day it will drop access to the internet. a simple unplugging of the power cord resets it and everything is peachy. BUT....try to start a download.(usind DAP *download accelerator plus* or a bit torrent)...WHOA! it's anywhere from an instant drop to maybe ten minutes then drop. Most assuredly it will drop. we have had this router since January, and until a week ago, it worked just fine. no problems. Last week, our ISP upgraded their equipment and increased the bandwidth. (we have to use a cellular connection with a static IP being out in the boonies far enough that cable and DSL are still not available) The problems started at the same time and I thought it might be a problem with them. After testing one of the computers with a direct connection to the internet modem, everything, including a major download, worked just fine. It is definately a router problem. I spent quite a lengthy time on the phone with Linksys tech support, and the nice lady had me change the MTU rate from 1500 to 1300. It seemed to work, but about an hour after being done with the support call, things started to go wonky again. I am just about at my wits end!! Nothing has been changed on the router settings except that one thing that tech support instructed me to do. I am kinda leary about upgrading the firmware because I have been seeing a ton of *my router wont work with firmware update* or *now my router is frozen* posts. I have to type in a ton of settings because I am using a static IP and I really don't want to do all that again!! lol PLEASE, somone have a solution to this problem! It is driving me mad!! I would really hate to have to buy a new router, but my roomate is about to that point if this doesn't get fixed soon.

I renewed my battery and now can't get signal its constantly searching and antenna is connected and getting wifi told to factory reset my phone but can't as find my iPhone won't turn off even with my password any help pls

i renewed my battery and now cant get signal its constantly searching antenna is connected and getting wifi told to factory reset my phone but cant turn off find my iphone to reset even with my password pls help

If you need to restore your phone but can't turn off Find My iPhone, you'll have to force it into recovery mode in order to restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

I loaded Win 7 on my laptop and didn't back up my phone to I tunes. I loaded IOS 6 to the phone and it needed to sync. The Itunes didn't connect to my account phone factory reset. I have logged on why can't I get my apps and music back to my phone?

I loaded Win 7 on my laptop and hadn't loaded I tunes yet when I updated my phone to IOS 6. It needed to sync and had to factory reset. I have loaded I tunes, logged on yet still can't get my apps or music to load on my phone again? I have added the I tunes back-up to the folder on my newly loaded PC? Any suggestions before I go to the apple store and use the F word.

The same thing happened to my poor sister, and she is panicking because of all of her photos of her "daughter growing up" that will be lost. It seems that this has happened to several people already, and I REALLY hope that Apple figures this out so that it doesn't force all of these people to completely reset their devices. Best of luck to you, and I am bookmarking this and other similar discussions to monitor for other, more desirable solutions.

I changed my Apple ID but my iTunes hasn't updated so I can't access it...do I need to reset all devices to factory settings? or how else do I get the iTunes to link to Apple ID?

I updated my Apple ID primary email address without having switched off 'Find my....' on all devices. A 2 hour very helpful call with Apple Support solved ny Apple ID and ICloud. Later, I tried to update apps but my iTunes account is still on the old ID and I can't access that email/password anymore. I can't get a support appointment for 48 hours but need to update travel apps soon!
Do I need to reset to factory settings on all devices (5!) and start again...or how else can i get iTunes to link to my Apple ID now?
Any help appreciated!

Thanks, David. But that was the first thing I tried. For some reason, when I try to change my Apple ID back to my old email address, I get the message that that Apple ID is already in use and so I cannot use it! I have tried requesting a password reset using my old Apple ID email, but I've waited and waited and nothing has come to my old email address. This is sooooooo frustrating!

I need to do a factory reset, but it says that I need to turn off "find my phone" and I can't do that because my screen is black

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me turn off "find my Phone" through the computer. My screen is black on my phone and I just need to do a factory reset.
Thank you

I need a font book factory reset & a clean slate

My font book is is a mess! I have duplicate fonts in about 4 different directories (my fault) and want a fresh start. I did an "export" of my fonts but I am unsure how to do a factory reset. I've read the Font Management in OS X doc but am unclear if clearing the cache will bring me back to just the basic system fonts or only clears the history.
Do I need to go in and delete ("file ----> remove font") the fonts in font book one by one and THEN clear the cache before reinstalling the ones I want in the ONE directory folder where I want them to live? (lesson learned). I have 1200 (not including the duplicates) fonts that I need to sift through and am looking for the fastest way to do this without losing the key system fonts for Mac, Office 2011 and Adobe CS5 Creative Suite.
Is that amount of installed fonts still manageable with font book or should I be looking at a different font management solultion? I can't answer that for myself until I make it manageable with only ONE copy of each font
Thanks in advance for your help! I promise that I've read through this site and have been googling all day but haven't been sure about resetting the it all back to square one
Tara

There isn't an easy, singular answer to your question, though it would be fairly straightforward if it weren't for Office. I am curious how you arrived at 4 directories of fonts. There are only three Fonts folders OS X looks at. The ones in the System folder, the main Library folder, and the one in the active user account. Since you shouldn't even be looking in the System folder (if you don't know what you're doing), the only two places you should have any fonts you've added would be the main Library and your account.
Anyway, start by launching Font Book. Delete any Font sets or Library sets you have created. Close Font Book. Create a new folder on the desktop. Call it "mine". Anything you want really, just so it refers to the fonts in your user account. Go to the Fonts folder in your user account and move all fonts out of that folder to the new one on the desktop. Create another new folder on the desktop named "lib". Open the /Library/Fonts/ folder and move all fonts into the second new folder. Both the /Library/Fonts/ folder, and the Fonts folder in your user account should be empty.
Follow the instructions at the bottom of Font Management in OS X to restore all fonts from the Snow Leopard DVD. You will be using Pacifist to restore both the System and Library fonts. When you're done, your fonts will be back to the way the were when you first installed OS X.
From the desktop folder you named "lib". Move Hoefler Text.ttc and STHeiti Medium.ttc to the /Library/Fonts/ folder. Replace the versions you just restored with these newer versions. They were updated in 10.6.5.
Office 2011 installs many newer versions of fonts OS X comes with. Move these fonts from the 'lib" folder into the /Library/Fonts/ folder so you again replace the ones you just restored.

Here's where it gets a bit trickier. Office 2011 also installs a number of old fonts which conflict with the newer .ttf OpenType fonts. Delete these from the "lib" folder on your desktop. Note that they do not have a file extension.

Without being able to see what you have left in the "lib" folder, I can't easily say what you can move back into the /Library/Fonts/ folder. So I'll list everything else Office 2011 installs that you can move back in. Office uses many of these for its supplied templates. Cambria is the default font family for Word.

Anything you have left in the "lib" folder on your desktop will either be duplicates, or fonts installed by other third party apps. That will essentially be true of any fonts you moved out of your user account. I can't tell you which, if any of these, would need to be moved back in. For now, combine the two into a single folder and store them away anywhere not in any of the three Fonts on the hard drive. There will be a bunch of them as CS5 installs a slew of fonts. None of which it needs to operate.
That's as far as I can help with the fonts themselves.
Now open Disk Utility and run a Repair Permissions on your startup drive. Moving the fonts around will cause them to have permissions OS X doesn't like. Mainly just because you moved them back into the /Library/Fonts/ folder and it will want to change the permissions to OS X as the owner simply because of where they are.
Last few things to do.
Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime to boot into Safe Mode. Keep holding the Shift key until you see a progress bar towards the bottom of the screen. You can let go of the Shift key at that point.
OS X asks you to log in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot even if your Mac is set to automatically log in). Let the Mac finish booting to the desktop and then restart normally. This will clear Font Book's database and the cache files of the user account you logged into in Safe Mode.
Next to take care of the System's font cache files.
Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
Terminal will then ask for your admin password. As you type, it will not show anything, so be sure to enter it correctly.
This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and the current user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.
Last step when back at the desktop. Launch Font Book so it can create a new database based on the fonts currently in the drive's three Fonts folders.
There should be no duplicates. Everything OS X and Office installs will be available.

I went through the steps and it says that I will be doing a factory reset and I will lose everything. Is there any way to get my phone open without losing everything??

IPad constantly glitching/freezing/crashing/parts of screen unresponsive - time for a factory reset OR a trip to the Apple store???

iPad constantly glitching/freezing/crashing/parts of screen unresponsive - time for a factory reset OR a trip to the Apple store???
My son has nothing but problems with his iPad Mini. It is less than a year old and it constantly freezes/crashes/glitches and parts of the screen are unresponsive. This happens while playing games, watching movies, surfing the net etc etc
The iPad has been in a heavy duty Survivor case from day 1 and has been very well taken care of - so I don't think it's a damage issue
I have tried numerous resets (just holding the 2 buttons) and have disabled every feature on the iPad that might be causing memory/RAM issues (?) all to no avail.
I haven't tried resetting to factory settings as I don't want to lose all the data on the iPad (mostly his game achievements and Minecraft maps that he has worked so hard on!!!)
SO - any suggestions:
1) Take it in to the Apple Store - I have never gone to Apple over an issue, is this possibly covered by warranty???
2) Factory Reset - If I do this can I save all his game achievements/data???
Cheers,
Todd

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
