Wrt54g dropping out once or twice a day.. HELP PLEASE :( !!

I have a WRT54G that drops the internet connection once or twice a day, it only has three/four computers that connect to it, its secured, DCHP i think, and it is connected to the internet through a cable modem. There is a x-box hooked up directly to it as well (wired). The computers are always connected to it when it doesnt work it just wont transmit any information or just plain drops out, if i unplug it and plug it back in it goes fine for awhile. It almost seems that it dropps out more when my roomates are running ares transfering files. What is causing this/what can i do to fix it? THANKS

Hey! this site could help you upgrade your firmware! just try this one..www.linksys.com/easy..good luck!

WRT54G Dropping Out With EZXS88W Switch Plugged In

Hey everyone. The issue that I am having is that when I connect my Linksys EZXS88W switch into the WRT54G router, the router keeps crapping out on me. What it does is that all of the lights go out on the router, then comes back on every minute or so. What could cause this to happen? The router works perfectly fine when the switch is unplugged from the router. I also connecte the swtich to the router through the normal port, as well as using the uplink port, but alas, the same results occur.
Could there be a specific setting on the router that I need to configure so that the router communicates properly with the switch? Also, the switch is brand new, right out of the box. I figured it would have been just plugging it in, and away it goes. Sadly, that is not the case.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

From what you described I assume it's the issue with your switch because if you don't connect the switch your router works fine...Your switch does not even have a reset button...
You can however power cycle the router and then the switch when you connect them both...

AirPort Express drop-out / skips -- Windows XPSP2 w/ Linksys WRT54GS router

Hello,
I'm having some skipping / drop-out issues when streaming music from a Windows XPSP2 fileserver, which runs iTunes 7.3.2.6, to my AirPort Express. I've long suspected my LinkSys WRT54GS router. Here are some things I've tried:
* tried enabling logging on my AirPort Express unit, (I actually installed a Windows SysLog client and ensured it was working) but it reveals no useful information after a skip -- just debug logging. No change.
* changed the wireless channel from 6 to 11. No change.
* Do not have wireless security enabled (just don't broadcast ESS ID). No change.
* Latest firmware on router, AirPort Express, and iTunes. No change.
* All other wireless devices in the house turned off. No change.
I'm seriously considering buying a new wireless DSL router to see if it makes the problem go away (any suggestions to makes or models appreciated). Unfortunately my WRT54GS is not one of the routers that supports reflashing with a third-party firmware, or I would have done this eons ago.
Another thing I am not sure how to test is the signal strength that the Airport Express gets from my LinkSys WRT54GS router. I've not been able to figure out how to get this information, and I also do not know what are considered good / not-good strengths. Any help here would be great.
Here are some details.
AirPort Express with Firmware 6.3, communicating wirelessly over Channel 11 to my LinkSys WRT54GS router with firmware 1.52.0, into which my Windows XPSP2 fileserver is physically connected with CAT5 cable. The music files are served up on a Maxtor DiamondMax 10 7200 rpm 300GB Serial ATA-150 Hard Drive.
I've really tried everything I can think of, and I still get skipping.
Specifically, music will play fine for 45 minutes, or 5 minutes, or an hour; then, the music will suddenly stop. The AirPort Express will continue to have its green LED on, though. The music will resume 1-10 seconds later. This skipping will happen periodically for a 1-2 minute period, usually 2-3 times per minute, go away for an indeterminate amount of time; or, it might persist until I get tired and turn off my stereo. There is no pattern as to time of day so I don't suspect neighborly interference.
Other things in the house are an older 802.11b laptop, 5.8GHz phone, brand new microwave, and a few dozen Palm and Windows PDAs that all have their WiFis disabled, where appropriate.
Any suggestions or ideas would be fantastic. This has been a problem for a couple of years now which I have systematically (though unsuccessfully) tried to solve.
Thanks,
-Jeff

I haven't yet budgeted to buy a different router, but I'll respond when I do as to whether this was the fix or not.
Just an observation ... in your case, the music streams wirelessly from your laptop to your router, and then wirelessly again from the router to your Airport. That's 2 wireless paths it must go. In my case, music streams directly to my router with a LAN cable; then, wirelessly from my router to the airport. So that's only 1 wireless path, and even still I am experiencing problems.

Macbook pro speakers intermittent drop-out

OK, my Macbook Pro 13.3" is less than 3 months old, and the speakers (subwoofer) just drops out occasionally, making it virtually impossible to hear sound. Is this a "known fault" in the hardware -- how to proceed and get this fixed? It's a new Mac...do I have get the shop to take a look, or is there a readier solution? Thanks for any advice.

I've had far too many problems with the newer revisions (>= 5.0) of the Linksys WRT54xx wireless routers, especially dropped connections. A shame, because they used to be extremely reliable. I replaced my WRT54G rev 6 with a D-Link DIR-625 and my connections are much more reliable and stable, both on my Windows and mac machines.

HELP! Audio Drops Out When Trying to Capture Canon XL2 Footage

Please help me out here. I'm a freelance camera operator w/ a Canon XL2 and several times now I've gotten calls from the editors saying they're having problems logging my footage, mainly the audio drops out quite a bit, and I'm not talking bout one second for every 2 or 3 minutes. No. It's like every 10 seconds the audio drops in and out.
What's the deal? Two times the guy was using a Panasonic DVX-100A to capture, another time it was a SONY DSR mini-DV deck. With each incident I had to go over with my XL2 and use it as the capture device, which is a pain.
The program they're using is FCP HD or 5. But I think even when they just play the tape in their Sony or Pany cameras, the audio may still suck.
Help me out here, I can't be the only one with this problem.
Thanks.
-R

Well Robert Swanson, I hope my post wasn't taken offensively, it certainly wasn't meant as such. The only Canon camcorder I owned was the GL1. After switching to Sony's I can honestly say it would take something significant to go back. And, I was merely relating my experiences in trying to capture from other Canon camcorders so that I know where you are coming from. However, I am interested in the HVX being the "noisest" camera on the market. I am seriously considering this camera and would be interested in a review that points this out. I would be using the hard drive recorder instead of P2 cards.

SCCM remote control keeps dropping out when another network adaptor loses connection

Hey guys,
Hopefully someone will be able to help me out
at work, we are running SCCM 2012, and I use SCCM 2012 config manager to manage the clients etc
We have a particularly annoying issue with SCCM remote control; it constantly drops out when a network connection on the client machine disconnects or changes state, even if its not interface I'm remote controlling through
Here's an example for you:
a laptop with a wired, and wireless connection:
I remote control the machine through the wired network address (lets say 192.168.0.1), but if the wireless connection drops out (someone turns it off or it breaks) the remote control client will kick me off, lock the screen, and I have to wait 20-30 seconds
before it will accept my connection again
This happens with any network adaptor that's installed on the client
Here is a copy of the logs re-creating this issue: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nu4w28d44xky3rg/CmRcService.log
(I've edited it to take out usernames and IP addresses as they are publicly accessible)
So my question, does any one know how to fix this issue? I see it uses WMI, is there anyway to get WMI to ignore an interface?
Thanks heaps,
Harry

This is going to be done by design for security reasons. If the network connect for whatever reason is down the pc will automatically be locked.

Remote app wifi drops out constantly

Hello,
Just a quick question - When I use the Remote app on my iPhone the wifi drops out all the time. I'll open up the application, it works fine, I change a song, then after 2 or 3 minutes I'll go back to put on a different song and get the Cannot connect to iTunes screen. Also the wifi icon up the top of my iPhone isn't on. I can fix this by going in to Settings > Wifi and it finds the network, then I can go back in to the remote app but obviously this is annoying to do every time I want to change a song.
I'm not using a router, just created a wireless network for my phone through Aiport on my mac. What turns the wifi connection off after a while if it's not constant in use, is it the computer or iPhone?
What settings can I change so that this connection is constant? And yes the stay connected setting in the remote app is turned on.
Thanks for any help : )

I'm experiencing the same problem. I recently got the latest gen Apple TV. I couldn't believe the instability of the Remote app's connection to the Apple TV.
Prior to the new ATV, I used a Mini and Front Row and the previous version of the Remote app worked flawlessly. Once connected, I could lock my phone and come back to it periodically and it was always connected in would respond near instantly.
Now unfortunately, every time I lock the phone the remote app loses the connection and I have to wait for it to find the ATV, restore the connection, load the library. It's maddening. I mean the AirPlay stuff is great but a stable consistent connection is the foundation to everything.

Audio dropping out during playback in timeline

Hey everyone,
I've dug through these forums and unless I just completely overlooked it I have not found a solution to this issue. I've listed my setup below and then have stated the issue I'm experiencing.
27-inch, Mid 2011 iMac
3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
16GB 1333 MHz DDR3
AMD Radeon HD 6970 1024MB
Running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
Currently working off of a portable 1TB G-Technology G-DRIVE via FW800.
Working in Premiere Pro CS6 Version 6.0.2
Editing in a sequence with settings:
1920 x 1080 23.976fps (also tried in a 29.97fps timeline with same issue)
Working with footage that is 23.98fps
Working with a combination of ProRes 422 (LT) and native H.264 Quicktime files strait from a 5D Mark 3.
The issue I'm having is during playback the audio will competely drop out. The video will continue playing on just fine but the audio drops completely out. All audio levels drop as well in the audio mixer meters so it truly is losing all communication with my audio layers in the timeline.
I read in other forums to go into Finder and delete out the .caf files, re open Premiere Pro, wait for them to be recreated then carry on. I tried this approach with no luck. Deleting the .caf did not change anything. Audio is still dropping out as I try to play through my timeline. The only way to get the audio back is to pause then press play again. I have 5 total channels of audio with only 2 of those channel active.
Any ideas on what is happening would be greatly appreciated. This is incredibly frustrating have to export out a video just to be able to watch it through.

Having this annoying problem also. Using the Space Bar to play timeline it takes pressing and holding to a count of three or trying press play three time in a row using the space bar to get ungarbled audio, or any audio at all in a normal uncomplicated sequence on the timeline.
Really annoying. Audio used to be so simple and untaxing to a sequence.

Internet Connection Sporadically Drops Out

This problem has been ongoing for several months now. Usually one or more times a day the internet connection will drop out, usually for a few minutes at a time. Sometimes I get the yellow triangle in the taskbar, other times I don't. I've gone back and forth with customer service several times. Earlier this week they replaced my router to no avail. They now tell me there are no connection drops or errors in the event logs and have tried to blame my computer/NIC. I explained to them that it's not the connection between my NIC and the router that is breaking, but rather the connection between the router and the internet, or the connection between the router and the FiOS box. Either way it's on the other side of the router. I don't know why it doesn't show up in the event logs, but it is just about a daily occurrence. So far the haven't even offered to sent a tech out. I've gone back and forth like four or five times now, and I know the customer service reps are just trying to help, but so far it hasn't done any good. The issue obviously needs to be escalated, so I figured I'd try here first. Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem might be? Has anyone else ever experienced this problem and been told there's no flags or errors in the event logs? Thank you for your help.

As Requested New Thread DSL low speeds and drop outs ref: Anthorny Verizon.

Please see post by Jerrold concerning the form for information requested, I have never been able to fill this out. Note also I had to sign in three times just to access your private letter to me today.
Here is a summary of problem:
When my line was first installed line speed was always between 9 to 12 Mps, which is fine for a 15 Mps line, sometimes would even go higher, so line was ok.
In October 2012 my line speed dropped to about 5 to 7 Mps, I contacted support and repairs were attemped, but did not correct the problem in fact problem became worst. My line speed dropped to about 2 to 3 Mps.
Now from October to end of November, all repairs did not correct problem. I was told by chat tech support that the problem was being worked on and there was an open ticket.
In December my line speed returned to normal speed was between 9 to about 13 Mps. No one had contacted me about this so I again contacted chat tech support who said my line had been fixed and there were no open tickets so have a nice day. I accepted this at face value and accepted that my line was now ok.
In January 2013, My line speed dropped again to 2 to 3 Mps. I contacted chat tech support who tested line and put in a repair request. No one had responded back to me and a week later my line started to drop in and out losing the connection completely. I again contacted tech support who told me they had no open tickets on my account, they tested line and while we were talking on voice connection my phone started to have heavy static, both my DSL and Phone dropped out at that point. Tech support called me back and said he was putting a repair request and that my line had problems. That night Tuesday January 29 my Phone and DSL both died, no dial tone on phone and DSL showed only power light on. Contacted tech support by a friends cell phone and informed them of this, was told ok it would be fixed by open ticket for next day.
Repair was to be made on Wednesday January 30, no one showed up, called tech support and told repair would be made on Thursday. Thursday late repair person showed up around 4:30 or 5:00pm, landlord gave access to building. I did not know they were here at all, when he told me( my landlord) I tested my DSL and found it running at 1.7 Mps or below that. When I attempted to call tech support found my phone was still dead, no dial tone at all. Contacted chat tech support who told me ticket was still open and would be fixed by Friday, or Monday.
On Monday, phone still dead, DSL running at 1.7 Mps contacted chat support who had me take a phone to the junction box outside of building, plugged in two phones to this no dial tone at junction box (both phones work ok checked using a neighbors phone jack) should note that on the outside of building there are two junction boxes, but one has lock on it so could not use that one. Anyway told that DSL could not be fixed until phone is repaired. Tried contacting phone repair and all I get is auto wait then line drops using a neighbors phone and pay phone my is dead.
Tuesday again contacted chat support now told to bad, until phone is fixed cannot help me ( was'nt that suppose to be done in first repair, fix phone and DSL given both were reported dead).
So why am I upset well look at history I now sit with No Phone service, DSL running way below what I pay for and a tech support who has said to bad not our problem. I also do not want to hear that my line does not and cannot support the speed I pay for ( it has shown to support that speed at beginning of install up to October and again in December).
Well anyway your letter did not say where to start new thread should I do that here, or in open forum?
Oh, auto phone repair has given me a date for phone service as this Friday, I hope that at least gets done I cannot contact them any other way it seems.
You may also ref: my thread on ping rates over 600 on long distants calls for any other history, but as per your request here is new thread. Please note as of today I have No Phone so can only be contacted by email or here. Untill phone is repaired that's all there is.

Airport Extreme dropping out and can't connect PC anymore

Hello
Suddenly, a couple of weeks ago, my internet connection dropped in the middle of surfing. I couldn't reconnect, Airport was only seeing the base station spasmodically and when I did try to connect I was being asked for a password which wasn't recognised. Hours later I called the support line and was advised to do a hard reset which I did, new name, same password. Now I'm reconnected most of the time, but it has dropped out a few times and the signal seems generally weaker. Something's not right.
I had not at that point done the July 1st update so it's not to do with that. I haven't a clue why it suddenly started playing up so strangely. (Though I have noticed a new unsecured wireless network in range and wondered if someone was 'hacking')
My main problem is that my business partner, who connects through a pc here (who remained connected incidentally when I first lost the connection) and continued to be able to connect until I did the hard reset. Now I can't connect that pc to the airport extreme. It sees it but gives an error message saying it's out of range and refresh the list when I try to connect. I fiddled about for hours. I've forgotten how the pc was set up in the first place and I'm going nuts. Can anyone help.
Thanks
Helen

Disappointed not to see any help on this one.
If it helps anyone out there to help me, I just uploaded the Airport Utility Software to the pc, typed in base station ID and password. Error message, check network connections. No help.
Try to connect the pc again the usual way from the list of available networks, it asks for password, I use it, then it says it needs to be 5 or 10 ASCII characters or 20 hexadecimal.
What I don't understand is that everything was working fine on both machines until two weeks ago when my base station went into spasm, dropped me but happy with pc, when I did the hard reset, keeps me, won't allow pc to connect.
I just don't know what to do now. Of course I suppose I could always make a call and pay £35 to have an apple technician tell me why their hardware suddenly screwed up for no apparent reason.
Seriously frustrated
Anyone?

BT Infinity Hub 3 slow to load pages and drops out...

Hi can anyone help, I have had Infinity option2 for less than a month and it has not work properly since it was installed,
done all the around the houses with help from India and they have thanked me for my patience and acknowledge there
is a fault which they say they have fixed, but it's getting worse.
When I do a speed test I get 36Mb down and 8Mb up, great but when I am loading websites they usually take a long time to load and frequently drop out, when I hit the diagnose connection they usually load. I also cannot send or sometimes receive email from my accounts, with server error fault messages also my webcam does not work I can here them but they cannot here me, never had these problems with my previous ISP on only 8Mb.
Thank you, getting desperate now!

Mate, I feel your pity as, although I've only had Infinity for 4 days, I'm having the exact same problem and NEVER had this issue in the 4 years I was on BT Total Broadband. To summarise:
Day 1 - Everything worked perfectly
Day 2 - Internet would not load one single page
Day 3 - Working perfectly again
Day 4 - Most pages load, albeit VERY slow
BT India have told me that I have a fault in my line and an engineer will call me back in the next 24/48 hours. Apparently I was the first person on my cabinet to have Infinity installed so I'm guessing I'm the guinea pig!!!

I bought a WRT320N Linksys router and keeps dropping out

I bought a Linksys WRT320N Router about 2 weeks ago. I am very upset that I did not take time to do my home work before I got screwed. I brought the router home and connected it. I am pretty familiar with networking these routers, I had the thing connected for about an hour, everything going good and then my wireless dropped out, my son started complaining he could not get his playstation 3 to work over the net, and then I did a speed test for the internet speed. I got 1 MB/s (Normally I am pegging around 30 MB/s, which is like flying, at least for me.) I was waiting for about 40-60 seconds for my homepage to come up. Disconnected my router from the computer and plugged direct into the modem and found I was still pegging 30 MB/s. Plugged back into the router and sure enough I was at 1 MB/s.I reset the router and charged on. The next day, same thing. So I called Linksys and told them what was going on. Well for one, the person on the other end of the line did not know about routers, I do not think she could even pronounce router if she tried. I spent 1.5 hours on the phone with her. After it was all done and over with her reply was " When it happens again, call us" . Oh yea, I want to spend another hour on the phone going through reset this, reset that. I already have done that.
Anyway, I got on this post and looked up my router thinking you guys may have better ideas than linksys, and of course you did. I read that these routers are overheating. So I connected a fan to the bottom of the router and I have air being sucked through the router cooling it down. So far it works okay. I went 1 week and 2 days before I had to reset. I connected a themometer to the case of the router and what did you know without the fan the router was running around 100 degrees F, the router was hanging in the air so it had plenty of ventilation. If the case is 100 deg. F, the insides must be frying. When I have the fan running the temperature of the case stays at room temperature or just a degree above. It must work some because I was going from resetting everyday to resetting every 1.5 weeks. I will keep you apprised of how the router is doing. I just have to say, Never again will I buy a linksys product. I will buy another brand until the engineers at linksys can figure out how to correct the router they have out there.
(Mod note: Edited for guideline compliance. Thank you.)

It is not possible that all WRT320N Wireless router's would act same, maybe the router you bought went bad, you should replace the router with the same model and that should resolve all your issues...

My Apple TV drops out when my iMac isn't connected to wifi yet my TV is connected to wifi. Also having issues with losing settings on Home Sharing as well. How do I fix these issues?

Whether I'm watching a movie purchased via my Apple TV or a movie stored on my iTunes app on my iMac I'm having constant issues with Apple TV either cutting out (randomly - not related to wifi) or not being able to access the 'My Computer' files when my iMac drops out the wifi connection because its in power saving mode. I also have issues with 'Home Sharing' settings having to be reset and sometimes having to unplug the Apple TV power cord and plugging it back in to be able to successfully reset these settings so I can get back to watching whatever it was I was viewing on Apple TV. My TV is connected to wifi as well so I'm wondering if there are any changes I can make in the settings of both my Apple TV and iMac or TV so that I can just select whatever it is I want to watch and be able to watch the entire movie or episode without it dropping out or having to keep flicking the mouse on the iMac to keep the computer connected to wifi? I love Apple products generally but Apple TV is proving to be a pain in the a**e lately. Hopefully someone can help me sort these issues out

Intermittent issues will point to a local network/wifi issue.
Reboot ATV and router, make sure both are up to date
Try ethernet
The home sharing connection will cut out if the iMac goes to sleep.
