WRT54G disconnects every 15 sec

My WRT54G disconnects me from the network every 15-16 seconds or so. It lasts maybe a a second or so, but it's enough of a lag to put an end to any downloads or some streaming media.
I am connected to the router wirelessly
The router is connected to my cable modem.
I think the problem is with the automatic DHCP setting which refreshes the IP address again and again.
Any ideas?

Hi, This will not be a DHCP issue since the DHCP refreshes the IP once every 24 hours.
What you need to do here is tweak the wireless settings a bit to get better connectivity.
access the router using http://192.168.1.1 "admin" is the password.
Go to the wireless section and change the SSID to any name you prefer,select channel 11 and save settings.Once back, click on "advanced wireless settings".Change the beacon interval to 50 and reduce the RTS and fragmentation threshold by 40 each.save settings and restart the wireless PC.
NOTE :- the above changes should be made using the wired PC.

Disconnect every 5 secs with router: WRT54G2

Hello,
Last Saturday we purchased a new router. The linksys WRT54G2. The problem is that we have some serious issues.
First we connected the router with the CD on our (wired) pc. And it worked for about 30 mins. Then we started to have these disconnects. We had 5 secs of internet and then 5 secs without. Then we had 5 secs of internet etc. (NOTE: everytime we had a disconnect like this the Easylink advisor showed that there was no connection between the router and the modem)
So we connected the pc with our modem and we googled it. We found a guide that told us how to connect with our specific provider(UPC - Chello). It told us not to use the cd, so we set the router to default settings. We had to connect the pc and router and log in on 192.168.1.1 to clone the MAC adress and set security to WEP. And it worked yesterday evening perfectly. But when I wanted to use the internet today we had those disconnects again. I just did a soft reset(pulled the electricity out and back in) and it works now, but I don't doubt that it was go back in disconnect phase again. >_>
Has anyone had it before or does anyone know a solution for our problem? Thanks in advance.
Gr. Thijs Kievit
P.S.: UPC - Chello is a dutch internet provider : /
PPS: When these disconnects occur my mIRC doesnt log off
[EDIT]: it's already starting to disconnect >.<

I think you need to download the latest firmware of your router.Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads......... insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop.
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
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...
Once you Re-configure your router, i think you will not face that problem again.
Note : Uninstall the Easylink Advisor your computer.

WRT54G Disconnects and REQUIRES a Power on Reset

My WRT54G disconnects once per day and requires a power on reset to get it back on line. It's version 6 with the most recent firmware.
After a wonderful chat session with Linksys this AM and then a subsequent email to Support, I've received NO satisfaction.
Anyone have a suggestion as to a solution???? I'm at my second warning and about to be banished!!!!
The router crashes each and every day and it seems to be DIRECTLY related to how much the kids use the wireless connection - you see they were gone for two weeks and there were NO (ZERO) crashes, they came home and started to use the wireless connectivity and BINGO, I'm pulling the plug on the WRT faster than OnnagokorO and his cohorts can edit/delte my posts.
Please, please tell me there's an answer.
(Edited a small part post for guideline compliance. Thanks!)

To dtv --- my guess is that the kids are running some high bandwidth program that makes multiple simultaneous Internet connections. This tends to use a lot of memory in the router, causing it to crash. Many programs can cause this, but it is common in peer to peer networking programs, such as BitTorrent.
If this is the case, limit the number of simultaneous connections that BitTorrent can make.
Please also note that Linksys recently posted a firmware upgrade that should help with BitTorrent problems.

My MBA w/SSD makes click-click sounds every 6 secs ?

I've read the post that describes ticking sounds that people are reporting on presumably MBAs w/HDD. That post seems to imply the ticking sounds come from the HDD. After reading that post and prior to receiving my MBA w/SSD today I thought I would not be plagued by the ticking sounds.
However, I find that my MBA w/SSD is now making click-click sounds every 6 secs with about 1 sec between the click-click all the time.
Do others w/SSD hear these click-click sounds every 6 secs or so ?
I've disconnected the Mag Safe and it makes no difference. I've disconnected my USB-Ethernet adapter ad it makes no difference.
The MBA is not hot either.
I will say though that I don't recall hearing these sounds when I first booted my MBA today. It seems to have started some 6 hours after having used the MBA for the first time.
I'm starting to find these click-click sounds annoying as apart from them the MBA is completely quiet and it's now become like hearing the tic-tok sound of a clock when trying to get to sleep.

Brian:
I'm in agreement with you on this. I downloaded smcFanControl App and it shows fan rpm at "000".
Using TermperatureMonitor I find the Cores 1 & 2 are running at around 200ºF with RPM is 000.
Not looking good at all. Time to Call AppleCare for sure.
It does seem like my MBA w/SSD has a faulty fan.
If MBA were to overheat is it designed to shutdown to protect itself ?
Well I think I've got an answer to that question as CPU 2 has been disabled per Activity Monitor. It's just plain shutdown and only one processor is running now. Core 1 temp has dropped to 141ºF now.
Stopped the two CPU burner Apps and now see that CPU 2 has come back online. At least the MBA is designed to protect itself from a meltdown even with the fan not running. Good design IMO.
The baby is going back to the shop for sure. Bummer.
I guess the click-click sound every 6 secs should serve as a warning to others.
Thanks.

WRT54G Disconnects FTP at 10 minutes

My new WRT54G disconnects passive FTP uploads at exactly 10 minutes.
every...
single...
time...
Firmware version 8.00.5. As it stands now, this router is useless to me, except perhaps as an access point. Searching this forum, I see that this is apparently a known and long standing problem with the WRT54G.
FTP works fine with my old BEFSR41.
I must be able to upload large files via FTP. Does Linksys have a timeline for a solution for this issue? Should I just use the WRT54G as an access point through the old router until Linksys manages to fix the firmware in the WRT54G?

Internet disconnects every 10-30 minutes for about 1 minute each time

Hello! My internet disconnects every so often for about a minute, then reconnects. I don't see any patterns regarding time of day or weather. Verizon says it's not an issue on their end. Here are my stats:

Vendor ID Code:     4
Line Mode:     G.DMT Mode
Data Path:     Interleaved
Transceiver Information     Downstream Path     Upstream Path
DSL Speed (Kbits/Sec)     3360     800

Yes, attached to the Westell 6300 is a D-Link wireless router WBR 1310. I don't have a house phone. I have a separate telephone line for the fax machine, and it has a DSL filter attached to it. I don't know what a micro-filter is.
Thanks!

I have bought a new airport express and using it with my macbook (iTunes 10.2.2). I have joined an existing wireless network for internet in my home and with that i am trying to play the music via itunes but there is audio dropouts every 60 secs or so. I am using a set of speakers from kenwood connected to the airport express. The operating system on my macbook is mac os X 10.5.8. i am sure it is not a problem of streaming music online because i have even tried playing music which are stored in my macbook.
Is there any problem with the setting in itunes or quicktime ? Kindly reply...... I am waiting for your valuable suggestion.
Thank you a lot in advance.

I am shocked to have found this same AX audio dropout problem starting TODAY, every few seconds the audio just drops for a couple seconds and then resumes: Latest software versions of everything. No iPad, iPhone or Touch. Internet hardwired to D-Link DES1105 (1000baseT Switch) hardwired to new 80211N AX, AX optical to stereo, AX Wi-Fi internet to basic 1st-gen MacBook operating at 80211G, and an older 'G' AX extender at the far end of the house, away from all this. The MacBook streaming iTunes is usually 12 feet from AX. I've used this setup for years of trouble-free AirTunes / Airplay until today. Today I also found 2 very reliable fixes and 1 way to force a dropout, but first, I read some posts and tried ALL following settings one-at-a-time and restored them ALL because NONE of them helped: Turned off IPV6. Streamed to multiple speakers 'Computer' and 'AX' (restored to just AX). Turned off 'Ask to Join new (WiFi) Networks'. Turned off Bluetooth (can't live without Magic Trackpad, so glad that wasn't it). Here's my discoveries: Lo and behold, each time I click the Airport icon in the Menu (you know it shows you've got 4 bars from AX) when the status switches to 'Looking for Networks' for a second it CAUSES the AX audio to drop out for a couple seconds (it never did that before today.) iTunes still playing, streaming, AX laser still lit, but the 'PCM' light on stereo and the sound GOES OUT EVERY time I click the Airport icon in the menubar, just like the regular, annoying dropouts. So, to reduce traffic I quit Safari (3 tabs, no streaming, just Gmail, Google, and Netflix browsing). Lo and behold, the dropouts stopped altogether. No other Web apps going (not iTunes Store, Genius, Ping, nothing), so I launched Chrome to the same 3 tabs and the dropouts HAVE NOT RETURNED. That's right, not only did simply QUITTING SAFARI cure it, and Chrome doesn't contribute to it, but I can demonstrate it just by forcing my Airport to re-scan. Works for me, written using Chrome. The other reliable fix is to hardwire MacBook to the Switch. This is obviously not ideal, but Airplay audio doesn't drop out over Ethernet. Also, in all my tests, it made no difference whether iTunes did the streaming, or Airfoil did.

Hi,
I purchased Huawei Dongle and trying to connect with my new MacBook Pro (OS- Mountain Lion) USB port 3.0 but unfortunately it does not support.
When I plugged in my macbook the power is flowing in dongle due green light blinking twice in every 3 sec but no connection found or diver shown.
Please let me know how I have to use it. I got some suggestion for USB hub 2.0 but It does not make any sense and driver installation.
So please suggest proper direction to use it and provide link to install any driver.
Thanks
Tauheed Ahmad

Yes Clinton I did same, but they were (Huawei customer support) surprised about this problem, They behave like they have no idea about USB 2.0 and 3.0 knowledge. They handsUp that reason I posted my problem in this forum.
So is there any better solution to use any mediator between these USB version handling, Please let me know.
Thanks
Tauheed

I need a timer function to ping the server every 5 secs??using threads.

I need a timer function to ping the server every 5 secs??
using threads...i have to use a thread coz i cant use Timer and Timer Task coz clients r on the JDK1.2 version.I have created a thread which keeps checking th ping msg & any server msg is pings 4 the1st time properly but then it just waits to read the response from server but it doesnt but the server shows that it has send the msgs to client???PLEASE HELP URGENT

Few things are not clear from your post, like, are you using sockets and if you are, how are u reading writing to them (ur sample code would help)...
Anyways if you are, are you doing accept on your socket in a while(true) loop or just once... If you do it only once you will get the first ping message but none afterwards if the other side closes and opens new sockets for every send... What I am suggesting is something like the following:
ss = new ServerSocket(port);
while(true)
     s = ss.accept();
     is = s.getInputStream();
     os = s.getOutputStream();
     reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
     writer = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(os));
     String in = reader.readLine();
        // do something with this string
        s.close();
        // put some check here to break out of this infinite loop
}// end of While

You can -
1 restore

Sound break every 30 secs using handbrake

On my Powerbook G4 running OSX Panther, I just encoded a peice of video taken from a DVD -r I burned using my Panasonic DVD recording deck. Handbreak did the job, but I have noticed that during playback on my iPod there is a split second break in sound approximately every 30 secs. I'm not a genious when it comes to sound, but I know a little and think it may be to do with the sample rate on the DVD being different to the re-encoded sample rate of Handbreak thus becoming out of sync and cross phasing at 30 second intervals. The DVD plays fine, its just the encoded H.264 file that doesn't. Video remains fine. Any feed back would be great.
Thanks

I just played the file in quicktime on my computer and it does the same thing in the same place so its definately the file not the iPod or iTunes. There is something up with the way handbreak is encoding, I'm pretty sure its to do with sample rates or icompatibility of the mpeg 2 file on the dvd with the software.

I have edited a movie in Final Cut Pro and the video has been smooth all the time.
Now, when the one hour long movie is ready the video seem to paus every 5 sec (only for half a second). It does it all the way through the movies.
What is wrong? All the sudden.

We need info, info, info!
What version of FCP X?
Did you render? what are the project specs? do you use many compound clips? how much ram, hard drive space, how is the hard drive connected?
It looks like your mac can't keep up. Maybe the bottleneck is the hard drive, or something else.
Try exporting a master file and see if the video is ok.
Also, keep Activity Monitor open and see how much memory pressure you've got.

Airport keep disconnecting every few minutes

Hi,
I don't know why, but my airport keeps disconnecting every few minutes, although it reconnects after that.
I'm sure there's no problem with my router since other PCs in my home are fine.
It's totally fine when I use my windows in the macbook (via bootcamp).
Anyone has the same problem or anyone knows the solution?
Thanks.

I've had this issue for about a week and it has made my Macbook nearly impossible to use for anything other than local disk work.
Last night I tried running the standalone upgrade and it worked beautifully, however, upon booting up this AM I'm back to square one, constantly dropping the connection, ran the standalone update again and back in business with no drops.
While this is appears to be my temp workaround I don't want to be doing this on a daily basis.
HELLO APPLE what is the deal ?
