WRT54G/EZXS16W Intermittent Problem w/1 Computer Connecting to Internet

Here is my setup:
1 Desktop (problem child) running Windows 7 Pro 64bit
1 Desktop running XP (Dell with basic 100Mb onboard NIC)
1 Laptop running Windows 7 Home
EZXS16W 16 port 10/100 Switch
WRT54G v6 Router (latest firmware)
All connections use static IP
Problem has been occurring for about 2 years with "problem child" desktop. All other machines work fine with no intermittent problems.
Problem is that while browsing, every 30-40 minutes or so, the desktop will stop being able to reach internet websites. Internal networking (file share to other machines, etc, still works).
Resolution, if I wait 10-15 minutes it will start working again on its own. Or if I unplug the router and plug it back in, that works too.
Things that don't work:
1) Clearing internet cache
2) Disabling/Re-enabling NIC
Troubleshooting tried:
1) Upgraded router to latest firmware
2) Upgraded problem child desktop from XP Pro 32bit to Windows 7 Pro 64bit
3) Disabled on-board NIC (Marvell) and installed Intel Pro GT 1000 PCI-E card
4) Swapped ethernet cable with known good cable (from other desktop not exhibiting issues)
5) Took switch out of the equation running all wired connections direct through router
NOTE ** Ancillary problem is that 99% of the time, I cannot get to the admin interface of the router. I try using all 3 machines (wired/wireless) and via IE and Firefox. I enter the correct username/password and I get a blank screen and the browser indicates the page loading is Done. On the rare occasions I am able to get into the admin page, there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to why.

Give the static ip address (in the range of the router) and the static DNS to the computer.
Click on the Start button > Settings > Control Panel >Network Connections- Right click on the icon for Local area connection and go to properties- On the 'General' tab select 'Internet Protocol TCP/IP' and click on the Properties button- Select 'Use the following IP address'- Provide IP Address - 192.168.1.5, Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway - 192.168.1.1- Preferred DNS 192.168.1.1, Alternate DNS - 4.2.2.2 >Click on Ok button to Save and Click on "Close" on main Properties window. Now check the connection.

AM300 + WRT54G: "Different Public IP for Diff Computer connected to Internet"

Hi All,
I have Modem AM300 + Wireless Router WRT54G.
(Both have latest Firmware).
Internet -> AM300 -> WRT54G -- two Computer with Wifi connection
Scenario:
1. I have two Computer Connected to Wifi at WRT54G and can browse Internet.
2. I check both Intenet IP in http://whatsmyip.org, Both have same internet IP.
Question:
Can I have different Internet IP for each Computer?
If Yes, How do I need to Set my Modem + Router?

Hi dibbler,
I would like to have different IP for Internet.
Would you able to help me how to configure my AM300 + WRT54G?
Current Setting:
AM300 - Bridged ONLY, DHCP & NAT = Off
WRT54G - DHCP = ON
My Local IP is different for both computer,
e.g. 192.168.2.2 and 192.168.2.3

WRT54GS - no internet connection detected yet my wired computer connects to internet through router

I have had my router for a little over a year. I am connected to a wild blue satellite modem. It has worked with no problem for a year. Now, it claims to not detect an internet connection, although the computer wired to the router has no problem connecting to the internet. I just cannot connect wireless to the internet because the router thinks it has no internet connection. I have reset several times, powered on and off modem, followed all instructions for troubleshooting. All lights are lit on both the modem and the router. Do I need to replace the router, or would I encounter the same issues with a new one?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

My other computer is connecting now, although EasyLink still shows no internet connection. However, as long as I can get a connection, I do not care. I have no idea why it is working now and not before. I do not know if my husband's laptop will connect yet, but something seems to be working.

Problems waking up and connecting to internet after MAC Software updates.

My Intel Macbook laptop use to connected to the internet automatically when I turned it on the laptop or woke it up. Now after the last MAC software upgrade this week (which included iTune, iPhoto, MAC 10.4.9 and an Airport upgrade) my PC is having problems connecting to the internet.
It attempts to connect but can't. I end up playing with the settings in Airport internet connections – e.g turning Airport on and off, going to NETWORK -Other and reentering the Network name and wireless security passphrase. Most of the time I have to go into System Preferences – Network and play with these settings e.g. Changing Locations, playing with the network status and eventually, magically it connects and stays connected until the next time I wake up my laptop.
The wireless Macbook laptop is connected to a DLINK Wireless Router (DI-624), using WPA-PSK security. I have tried rebooting both the laptop and the router a number of time and even redid the setting on both the router and laptop.
Is there something else I can check/do??? Can I undo any of the MAC Software updates (thinking about the Airport one)??? I would really like to get back to connecting to the internet automatically.
Thanks.
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Yeah, the 169.254 addy means it isn't getting a DHCP reply, so it's not connected to anything at all.
Is that Interface dragged to the top of Network>Show?Network Port Configurations and checked ON?
The Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of Network Port Configurations.
Yes those files get recreated on reboot, (unless critical pieces of the OS are missing for it's defaults), but you don't have to trash/delete them, you can just drag them to the desktop!
But after hearing the latest I might try...
/Users/nnnn/Library/Preferences... the whole Prefs folder there.
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration... the whole SysConfig folder.
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleFileServer.plist
Reboot... of course you dont have to trash them, you can just move them to the desktop to drag back if it doesn't work.

Wifi problems no IP, not connected to internet

I have some problems connecting to the internet via wi-fi.
First internet becomes very very slow for like couple of hours, so slow that it takes like 5 minutes to load a page... then at some point it just disconnects me from the internet. When im trying to connect back to it the connection times out and if i go to network preferences its written there that my mac doesnt have an IP adress and i wont be able to connect to the internet. Then after a while its shows that im connected again to my connection, but it just doesnt load any pages...
The strangest thing is that only my macbook is having this problem (it totally works on my notebook that i was using before i bought my mac, plus there are 3 more ppl using that connection and they dont have any problems).
First it happened like 2 weeks ago and i spent like hours trying to figure out what to do. In the end i just got really stressed and ****** and left my macbook for 2 days without even touching it.. after that i was thinking to bring it to the Mac shop so that they can help me to solve this problem and just to try, to make sure it still doesnt work i turned on my mac and it was working again without any problems! Until yesterday!! Was exactly the same script : mac got slow, then it disconnected from internet at all, then timing out the connection and no IP adress and finally, connected, but not loading any pages!!! Today all day long it switches between no ip and connected but not working. ITS REALLY FRUSTRATING!!! Im connected now using ethernet with cable, but its really not comfortable like that and i would love to solve this problem.. ANY IDEAS??

Doesnt help

3G network problems in DC: cannot connect to internet, but works with EDGE

I can load web pages fine when I turn off 3G in the settings tab (and use only EDGE), but when I turn on 3G I need to "reload" the page several times before it will load.
This is really annoying because it is clearly a AT&T 3G network problem. After spending about an hour on the phone troubleshooting the problem with Apple-iphone and ATT "customer support", they concluded that although I was having a problem, because ATT does not show a current issue in the Washington, DC area, there is nothing they can do.
Argh! ATT and Apple need to work things out to fix the network problems, I hate being caught in the middle of their animus relationship.
I guess I will have to continue paying for a service that is spotty, because as the ATT representative pointed out, they do not guarantee any service and will not recompense for any alleged outage.
Wow, now that is a prime example of why having no effective competition in cellular providers means the customer loses.

I appears to me that the problem is not related to whether you are on the phone or not. Generally, it seems like there is a problem with the 3G network being EXTREMELY slow and non-responsive. When I press the reload button several times, sometimes is loads very quickly as I would expect on 3G.
Still having this problem today.

Airport express cant connect to internet through linksys wrt54g router

Hi, i need some help.
I have an airport express that i cant seem to get to connect to the internet.
I have a cable modem to linksys wrt54g wireless router. An xp computer connected by LAN to the router.
An Imac wirelessly.
An xp laptop wirelessly.
And a printer via the LAN
All work just fine.
But when i configured the aiport express to be a wds for the linksys to increase the range for my laptop or imac for that matter. It displays a green light, but has no connection, because it doesnt give the laptop or the imac a correct ip adress, that is what i seem to think the problem is.
Please can someone help, i'm desperate.
Thanks
Core duo 17" IMAC Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Did you follow instructions like this to add the AE to your Linksys network?

Also, make sure that "Distribute IP addresses" is NOT checked.

WRT54G Router cannot connect to internet

I have Earthlink DSL and am trying to connect to the internet via the WRT54G from my Dell desktop. (Can connect to internet directly through modem just fine.)Have ethernet cable connected to DSL modem and router internet port. Have other cable connected to ethernet desktop port and port1 on router. Setup CD fails on "checking internet connection."
Per tblshooting docs:
Have changed IP to 192.168.2.1
Have changed to PPPOE, with ISP [email protected] and password.
Powered off modem, router, PC. Restarted.
Try to connect to internet--Earthlink dial-up pop-up comes up because there's no DSL connection.
Help.

On top of IE.... go to tools... internet options... then connections... then check the box that says never dial a connection.....
Go back to default 1st on the router. Start from scratch by pressing the reset button of the router for 20-30 seconds , then power down router for 10 seconds and power it back up.
The go back to the router interface (192.1681.1) and leave it as just Obtain IP Automatically or Automatic Configuration DHCP... then go to MAC Address Clone.. enable... clone... save settings... then go to the status page and tell us what is the Internet IP Address value that you see...

I’m having an intermittent problem with my midi controllers triggering Mainstage 3.
I’m using a PreSonus Firebox audio interface.
It’s been working fine for months, but now when I first turn on the computer in the morning , I’m not able to trigger MainStage from the keyboard. I tried different midi controllers, different keyboards, different midi cords, and check midi preferences. The audio interface is working fine and is recogonized, but the midi doesn’twork. I re-started the computer several times and then finally it miraculously starts working again.
I’ve been having to this every day now. Any help or ideas is very much appreciated.

I Had the same problem with a FireStudio. Try unplugging the FireWire plug and the power plug. Wait for a few seconds, then plug both back in. The light on my FireStudio was flashing blue/red which means "not connecting." I did what I just described, and everything works again. Hope it works for you.

I am having a DNS problem with my computer. My laptop connects to the internet and my skype works normally but when i try to surf the web it says "DNS Look up failed".

MY PROBLEM
I am having a DNS problem with my laptop. It connects normally to th e wifi internet but when i try to surf the net it says "DNS Look up failed"
This problem only occurs when with the internet at my house. whenever i connect elsewhere my computer works normally. My ipod, iphone, tablet and other friends computers work normally when they are connected to my internet. i use dmy neigbours nework a couple of times from my house and it wrks normally.
Also when i turn my laptop on or off i can browse for a few minutes or seconds before it fails again. My skype works like there is no problem
WHAT I HAVE TRIED TO RESOLVE IT
I have tried changing the DNS, i used open DNS and google free DNS and it still didnt make a difference.
I have rebooted router many times, nothing
I have changed my home router, nothing
I backed up my computer, resored everything it to factory setting and put everything back on; still nothing
Run a diagnostics at 'Best buy' and they say nothing is wrong; but i know there is something wrong with the DNS
I have tried different "sudo" type of codes on my comupter from stuff i got online and nothign has proved fruitful yet.
i tried using safari, Google chrome and firefox, all not loading
WHAT DO I DO TO FIX THIS?

You are correct. Syncing should transfer any purchased media, including videos, from your device to your iTunes library provided your computer is authorized for the Apple ID used to make these purchases. You mentioned that you have uninstalled iTunes before, but if you didn't follow this guide exactly, uninstalling iTunes and all of its components in the order specified, it may not have been successful so you should try again: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7.

More info,
I have bootcamp with Windows 7 installed, do I need to run some "Driver compatibility checker" after the Windows 7install?
if so what is the name of it?

I am still having problems with wi fi connectivity after I upgraded my computer to os x 10.9.4.

I updated my laptop to 10.9.4, and now my laptop won't continually stay connected to the internet. I will get it to open a page initially, then when I try another page, the browser acts like it's going to load a page, but then just hangs there. When it does connect, it is fast, but more often then not as I'm trying to connect to different websites the page doesn't load at all. I've restarted the router, I've restarted the modem, I've deleted and re-added my network, I've restarted my computer, and I tried to restart in 'safe-mode'.
I had the same problem after the last update, but figured it was the same issue everyone else was having of the computer not reconnecting after sleep. I found a fix, and it seemed to help (although the problem never completely went away), but I can no longer find that solution.
My internet provider stated that all was good on their end, and indeed, I have no problems using wi-fi on my iphone. But, my computer just doesn't want to stay connected enough to surf various sites on the internet.
HELP!!

WRT54G Router Intermittent Connection Drop

To keep all of this in a nutshell, i have one WRT54G router wired to a PC and connected wirelessly to my laptop.
With the router in place, everything has been fine for over a year until last week when the router just couldnt connect to the internet. Upgrading the firmware helped a little bit, but the connection just kept on dropping ever minute (literally) and reconnecting by itself quickly. This basically meant that the connected IP address changed every single minute, making it hell for my instant messengers and downloads which disconnect every minute when the problem happens.
A direct connection without the router in place, from modem > internet is perfect, no drops whatsoever.
I went out and bought a BRAND NEW ROUTER but the same problem is happening. Ive tried everything but cant find an answer.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Guys, im reading articles on the relation between router problems and P2P programs. It does make sense, ive been disconnected because of my torrent downloads but it still doesnt make sense that the problem is the same with a BRAND NEW ROUTER.
And why doesnt the version 7 of the WRT54G have any firmware upgrades?
I'll post here if i find anything else.

New 4s connects with bluetooth in my Lexus, but I have intermittent problems with calls. I can hear them, but they can't hear me. Never did this with 3gs. Anyone else have this problem?

New 4s connected to my Lexus bluetooth. Having intermittent problem with calls. I can hear them, but they can't hear me. Never a problem with 3gs phone. Anyone else having this problem?

I ended up getting a new phone, straight through Apple. I called their technical support and went through all he basics again and they decided to replace it. Was a pretty quick process - after defaulting and resetting the whole phone (about 2 hours), I called them back to inform that there was no change, so they set up the order.
I had to give my CC# so they could hold a charge on it (in case I didn't send my old phone bach, which they sent me a pre-posted package to send it in anyway). Had a brand new iPhone 4S in my hands in 4 days, which was pretty decent. I had uploaded everything previously to iCloud, so setting up the new phone was a snap.
Only thing I really didn't like was they charged me almost 30 bucks for shipping or processing, or something. Not so sure that should have been my responsibility after spending so much on a brand new product, only to have to have it warrantied after, like, a month.
