WRT54G: Frequent, but intermittent Disconnects
I have a WRT54G that I've been using for almost 2 years now. For the most part, the router works great, even though it will occassionaly drop my computer's [i]wired[/i] connection and often drop my Xbox's [i]wireless[/i] connection. More recently, I have upgraded to Windows 7 and am experiencing very frequent, but intermittent disconnects which mainly appear to be on the wired end.
Steps I've Taken Thus Far
Updated NIC drivers
Updated Router Firmware (Apparently 8.00.7 is the latest for my router.)
Reset router to factory configuration and reconfigured
Searched all over the internet for a solution
Basically, this is what happens: I'll be online, usually playing a game or trying to d/l a patch for one and things will be great, but out of nowhere, the router's power light will start blinking and the little SES button (that Cisco one that lights up) will shut off - this is when I lose my connection. Sometimes it's just temporary and the router will cycle, the powerlight will go solid and the Cisco light will turn back on. Often, I have to unplug and plug the router back in to get it to cycle. I don't think I'm losing connection to my cable modem as the Internet light stays active, but maybe. So it seems to me that I'm mainly losing connection on just my own network. The strange thing is that sometimes I can go for [i]hours[/i] without any trouble but sometimes I can't make it 10 minutes without losing my connection 3 or 4 times.
Any help?
Since you have done all the settings on your Router, and already upgraded the firmware on your Router... As you have mentioned that after a period of time, the power light on your router starts flashing and at that moment you are disconnected from all your computer...
Well i think its a problem with the router itself. I hate to say that but I think its time for you to get a New Router.

WRT54G v.6 intermittent disconnections
I've been using my WRT54G router for a year now and it always worked pretty well. But about a month ago i started to lose internet connection every now and then (maybe 1 or 2 times each day). Now the problem occurs approximately every hour. I updated the firmware yesterday hoping it would resolve it but it didn't.
The connection always goes away for about 5 seconds and then comes back from itself. I witnessed that the orange light illuminating the Cisco Systems "logo" turns off during the time internet is disconnected. Also, i think the problem comes from the router itself because everything connected to has the same problem simultaneously (my computer, wich is connected to it with a ethernet cable and every other device connected to it wireless like other computers/game consoles). When i connect my computer directly to the modem (without using the router) it works perfectly well so the problem does not come from it. I searched the web for people having a similar problem but i didn't found anything like it.
If anyone out there has a suggestion it would be very appreciated because i tried a lot of things and i am now thinking about buying a new router.
PS : Sorry for my english... it's far from perfectAfter you perform a firmware upgrade on the router, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then re-configure the router.If you have not resetted the router after the upgrade, then reset your router... Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds.Then, unplug the power keep holding down the reset button for another 30 Seconds.Plug the power back in, and keep holding down the reset button for 30 Seconds.Release the reset button. To re-configure your router click here , Also change the Wireless Settings and try to connect...Check if this helps...

Intermittent Disconnects for clients of 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services
Hello, I have an issue that I am trying to work on for a client who is experiencing intermittent disconnected sessions when logged into a Windows 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services (RDS) server.
As I mentioned, the disconnect is intermittent in nature and almost appears to be network related, although I cannot find any data in the Application, System, or application specific logs to support that.
The RDS server overall does not exhibit any error, but the user's session is briefly interrupted and then restored. I would like to be able to gain some additional information about what is going on under the hood, but I am having trouble finding any
details on how to turn on debug logging for Terminal Services (er, RDS) on 2008 R2.
Can someone provide some additional details on what kind of logging or other means that I can take on this server in order to gain some additional insight?
Thanks in advance for any advice.Hi,
There are certain reason for which the client get disconnect from the server. The following are some of the commonly seen symptoms:
• You may be limited in the number of users who can connect simultaneously to a Remote Desktop session or Remote Desktop Services session.
• You may have a port assignment conflict.
• You may have an incorrectly-configured Authentication and Encryption setting.
• You may have a certificate corruption.
More information.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2477176
If you want to have log for login\logoff for the client on server end then you can get the information from below log.
Event Viewer>Application and Service Logs>Microsoft>Windows>TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager>Operational
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

HT204400 Intermittent disconnects or connectivity issues
I have done everything the help guide said to do I even went as far as to move the router to the living room so that I could hard wire to it and I am still having Intermittent disconnects. Can someone please help me?
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
The following article(s) may help you.

I have Windows 7, Microsoft Outlook and PSE 13. I have used the "Share photos as embedded images" feature frequently, but today when I went to use it, it wasn't there, only the option to send email with files attached. How do I get back the ability to send emails with photos embedded. I like adding the frames and backgrounds and I think it's easier for recipients to look at the photos. Thanks for any suggestions of things to try.
GailI had a similar problem in that my wife's iphone 5 could not send pics with imessage. Had to set the settings to default to SMS or whatever. After laboring many hours on the web I coincidentally was on the phone with the internet people to question my internet speed. They changed the router channel, which is something that I am capable of doing myself. After that, the pics go over imessage. My own Iphone didn't have the problem. We are both latest IOS 7.0.6.

I have iphone 4 and recently updated IOS to 7.0.4. After that, my iphone is keep going into 3G mode at home. I thought it was the problem with my internet or router. But my husband's iphone and our ipads are not having any issues. I turned off and turn it on many times. It eventually get the wifi, but it disconnects few times and it is really frustrating.
Also, it seems to me that the battery is dying quicker. Am I the only person having the issue?
How can I fix the connectivity issue? Or is there any way for me to go back to IOS 6? Some of appes don't work under IOS 7.
Thank you.Hi yanylove,

Hi. My wifi keeps disconnecting. I keep turning the wifi on and off in settings but will disconnect again after a minute or so. I use an ipad2 and my ios is updated. How to troubleshoot? - kay peralta
Is this happening with one particular network or with all? Make sure iOS is updated on the device.
Try this:
Reboot ipad by pressing and holding both the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go. Then try to connect to network.
Go to settings, Toggle airplane mode on/off. Make sure bluetooth is off. Turn on wif (airplane mode off). Try to connect.
Reset Network Settings
Go to settings/general/reset/reset network settings. Then try to connect to network.
If its your home router, then reboot router by unplugging for 5-10min. (do this while you're resetting network settings).
If problem persists, then check for firmware updates on your router.(you check router manufacturer support website for downloads and instructions). -

My home wifi connects ok but consistantly disconnects requiring the user to go into settings, wifi, and reconnect. Very annoying. Any ideas on what causes this?
Thanks, but I have done that. All the settings on the mini are identical to the iPad 3 & still the mini won't work properly. I'm sure it was something I had to change on servers to get both the Macbook & iPad 3 working, just wish I could remember what!! Any more suggestions welcome! Thanks

Frequent but random DNS issues
I have been experiencing frequent but random DNS issues that have been affecting my access to websites and above all email. The problem is that it comes and goes without any intervention on my part but when it becomes really bad I have found that changing the DNS server in the network settings tends to fix things immediately for a while until it starts up again a day or two later. Obviously this shouldn't be necessary and it's been happening now for several weeks.
At first I had problems with BT DNS and after hitting my head against a brick wall for a week or so was amazed that the problem cleared up as soon as I put in the Google DNS. Then yesterday I was having major hassles and I remembered the DNS trick so I tried Open DNS with no improvement but tried BT again and everything was immediately OK. Most of the time I've just been struggling along and waiting for things to improve.
In an effort to try and troubleshoot the email issues I contacted my webhost and ran a trace route which show *** hops immediately after listing the BT HomeHub rather than a clear path of progression that my webhost says may be related to an ICMP protocol block in the router but I'm still seeing this even if I temporarily disable the firewall on my homehub and computer.
I have spoken with various BT support staff and they clearly just don't understand the issues. I am sick of resetting the router and calling BT just to go through the same steps. On one call the support guy felt it was likely to be an issue with my router so I asked about them sending me a replacement and they won't do it.
After two years of headaches with non functioning YouView I've just about had it with BT. Does anybody have any suggestions how to fix these problems?This is what a traceroute looks like when trying to connect to BT.com
