Wrt54g going from 54mbps to 1mbps, tried everything linksys suggested!

Ok, using 2 diff wireless machines, same result on both, so that lets me know it's not the laptops. Probably once a day the wireless router will go from 54mbps with no problems to 1mbps, and there is no connection, doesn't matter if i reboot, or repair or whatever. I have to powercycle the router and it's all norm, lights stay norm even when it's messed up. here is what i've done. reset it to default, changed the ssid name, set wmm to on, changed mts? to 1365 i think i saw in a post. tried several diff channels, upgraded the firmware, reset the modem, no security enabled. ISP is cable, so dhcp, nothing to setup. any help or further info on settings would be appreciated, later.

There are many causes for poor wireless connections, and many solutions:
First of all, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
Also, try changing the router to "g-only" mode, and see if that helps.
Poor wireless connections are often caused by radio interference from other 2.4 GHz devices. This includes wireless phones, wireless baby monitors, microwave ovens, wireless mice and keyboards, wireless speakers, and your neighbor's wireless network. In rare cases, Bluetooth devices can interfere. Even some 5+ GHz phones also use the 2.4 Ghz band. Unplug these devices, and see if that corrects your problem.
In your router, try a different channel. There are 11 channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Usually channel 1, 6, or 11 works best. Check out your neighbors, and see what channel they are using. Because the channels overlap one another, try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors. For example, if you have a strong neighbor on channel 9, try any channel 1 through 4.
Also, try to locate the router about 4 to 6 feet above the floor, in an open area. Do not locate it behind your monitor or near other computer equipment or speakers. The antenna should be vertical.
If the above does not fix your problem, download and install the latest driver for your wireless card.
Hope this helps.

    You can get Ms Pacman to appear in that game by clicking the "insert coin" button twice and using the WASD keys to move :)
    You can also just change your homepage to something other than google until tomorrow.

    I use free Yahoo mail webMail access because folders I created in webmail access doesn't get set up in Apple Mail. While I was searching for post about password and keychain issues, I stumbled on several threads that complain about Mail folder issues, so I'm holding off on Apple Mail.
    On the password and keychain issue that your post is all about.  I've been using login keychain to save and automatical fill my login screens for a year or so successfully, with Safari and Chrome. Automatic form fill also works for Facebook login. Unfortunately, about 4 to 6 months ago, automatic password form fill stopped working with Yahoo webmail, while still worked for GMail (Safari and Chrome). I tried deleting the password entry for my two Yahoo email accounts to start fresh, but neither Safari not Chrome will even ask me if I want to save the password. I was so frustrated that I eventually installed the keypassX 0.43 (password manager) that is quite primitive sompare to OS X's keychain (when it works). Probably no surprise to you yet.
    The surprise, to me at least, is that, for whatever reason, password auto form-fill from keychain started working again for Yahoo webmail login on Safari about 5-7 days ago. Still doesn't work on Chrome!
    Two tips I can share, at least with webmail access:
    1. Password is save only for one of my yahoo mail accounts. When I login in with my other yahoo account, I get no prompt to save the password, and form fill doesn't work when I try to log in a second time with my other Yahoo mail account.
    2. On inspection of my login keychain, I see a webform password item saved for my Yahoo account that works with keychain. The name of the password is: login.yahoo.com(MyAccountName1#). When I open the password item and look in the Access Control tab, I see Safari and Chome are listed as allowed to access this password item..
         I also an "Internet password" item with a name of just login.yahoo.com. When I open the the password item, it looks just like the password item created for MyAccountName#1, but the MyAccountName#2 is listed in the Account field. Inside the Access Control tab, no apps are listed in access permission. I added Safari and Chrome to the lists of allowed app, saved the password item.
    Now when I bring up the Yahoo login page(by bookmark) on Safari, form fill fills in MyAccountname#1 for name and the proper password and I can login in. When I change the name to MyAccountName#2, the correct password is retrieved and I can log in! Alas, it still doesn't work on Chrome.
    BTW, I changed the password item type from "Internet password" to "Web Form password" and saw no difference! I also edited the name to be "login.yahoo.com (MyAccountName#2)" to look like the web form password item that works, but it has no effect either.
    From my experimentation, here's my observation:
    1. A Web Form password item is created for the first account name(MyAccountName#1) for login.yahoo.com and typed as Web Form password. When I log in using MyAccountName#2, an Internet Password is created, but no applications are listed as allowed to access the password item, even when the password item was created after just logged in and logged out to yahoo with the account name and password for MyAccountName#2.
    2. Manually adding Safari as an app that is allowed to use the password item works. Doesn't work with Chrome!
    The version of Safari I'm using is Version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2). My installed version of Chrome is Version 21.0.1180.79 beta.

  • Zen Xtra (Nomad) - Unable to read from device error (have tried everythi

    Recently, I've been having problems with my Creative Zen Xtra Nomad mp3 player. One day it started freezing and lagging massi'vely when I would enter nomad explorer. Now it's virtually impossible to drag and drop something from nomad explorer to my computer or vise versa (keep getting the unable to read from device error). However, sometimes I am able to get an mp3 or two after about 5 minutes of transfer time.
    I have no idea why it is doing this. One day I'm transferring my data back and forth with no problem, and the very next day I am getting this freezing, lagging, and errors when trying to transfer. The only thing that changed was me formatting my computer in between it working and it not working, but I did reinstall the driver and nomad explorer once I formatted (I'm also using the same USB 2.0 cable, but it worked fine the day before, so I am pretty sure that's not part of the problem). I was using the mp3 player to store about 0 GB worth of data for when I formatted, and now I'm unable to retrieve virtually any of it. I've tried everything under the PC Connectivity link short of formatting the mp3 hard dri've (and that is not an option because I need the files). I took it to a friends house to try on his computer, but it acted the same way. I'm completely stumped. Is there anything I haven't ruled out? Also, I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2, and I was using SP2 before the format as well if that has any relevance.
    Please let me know if I've left out any important information relevant to this issue. Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Never use MP3 players to store important data, or as a single point of storage for any data (that includes keeping a backup of the player's audio tracks). You can have problems like this with accessing the data, as well as simply dropping the player and losing the lot.
    There are a couple of methods I've seen that have worked to retrieve data:
    . Driver update - either update to the latest drivers, or nonsensically downgrade to the drivers that come on the install CD.
    2. Notmad Explorer - use the Xtreamer function in Notmad Explorer's trial version (which is free) to access the data and download it. It will be tedious, because I assume you have to download one file at a time.
    As for your general problem, I would try using Creative's MediaSource instead of Nomad Explorer to access the player (people generally don't have good experiences with Nomad Explorer).
    Also make sure you download the latest versions of the drivers (taking above into account), MediaSource, and the MediaSource plugin from Nomadworld.com downloads.
    Once you have the data off (hopefully!) you might simply want to reformat it if none of the above hel

  • TS3697 cannot transfer photos from iphone to pc tried everything

    cannot transfer photos from iphone 4s to pc tried everything including bump

    I found a webpage where a user reported the same issue as me.
    He said he determined that "foreign pictures" -- meaning any pictures not taken using the iPhone's camera -- were the cause. Once he deleted the "foreign pictures" -- such as pictures obtained from receiving texts from others which included pictures that he saved onto the iPhone, then iTunes worked.
    In my case, the fix was to upgrade the iPhone's OS from 5.1.1 to the latest version.
    Now, both issues are solved:
    Windows recognizes the iPhone as a storage device.
    iTunes can see pictures that I've saved on the iPhone.

    Hello babichanjacob
    Change how it syncs by enabling Manually manage music and videos, then you can drag and drop the music that you want on your iPhone. Revert it back to test to see if that resolves the issue.

  • My new iPod isn't recognized by iTunes. Instead it's recognized as a camera. I tried everything apple suggested but nothing seems to help. Is there anything ELSE I can do?

    I Tried everything you guys suggested but none of it seems to help.

    What do you mean by everything?  Have you really tried all the things on this page? http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/assistant/itunes/  Note that the iPod should be recognized as a digital camera for the purposes of seeing the pictures taken with the iPod camera and it should be also recognized in iTunes for all other functions.

  • Help on removing black background from pre-keyed footage - tried everything, won't work, help!

    Hi there,
    I have Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, and up until now, I've had no problem working with pre-keyed footage. I usually place the footage into my timeline, and then would choose a blending mode such as "screen" or "multiply" to erase the black or white background. Except this time, nothing works! I've tried importing different footage, worked with opacity levels, and tried updating all my Adobe applications, downloaded Quicktime 7, etc. etc.
    I am still somewhat amateur to all of Premiere Pro, but up until now, I've had an easy time with everything. Any help you can give would be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Gabrielle

    Hi all,
    Well, I figured out what I was doing wrong. It is extremely embarrassing to admit this, but I was only looking at the footage itself I wanted to change. When i placed it over the other footage, it wasn't blocking it out anymore like it was before (if that makes any sense, I hope it does). Anyway, the blending modes worked perfectly, and I am almost done now with my simple project. I'm going to save your answers, though, because I know I will need to refer to this in the future.
    Thanks all, for your help and patience,

  • Time Machine creates backups from excluded folders. Tried everything

    I configured TM to exclude some folders that I do not want it to backup. A few days ago, all of a sudden, it told me that there is not enough space on my backup disk (Airport Extreme with USB hard drive). I found out that it had deleted the old backups and tried to backup also the folders that I excluded.
    I already did:
    - deleted the entire backup hard disk using disk utility
    - deleted TM preferences
    - setup TM from scratch
    - Moved the excluded folders to other locations and renamed it (added the folders once again to the exclude list after that, of course)
    - repaired file permissions
    - repaired volume after having started the system from the 10.6. install DVD.
    When I start the backup after resetting it, it shows at first a correct amount of data (approx. 90 GB, which fits the real amount of data that I want it to backup). But when it reaches 100% of the 90 GB after several hours, it does not stop: It continuously adds GB by GB to both values "90 GB of 90 GB copied" in the status window. The status bar keeps showing 100%. When I stop the backup manually and look into the sparsebundle, I find all the data that I excluded before in the TM preferenes.
    I have no idea what to do now. I tried a new backup setup from scratch already three times.
    P.S.: Im not new to OS X and TM. I have used TM for years in 10.5 without any problems. It seems that such problems occur after the upgrade to 10.6. BTW, I did a clean install of SL, not an update from 10.5.

    miflo wrote:
    In the meantime I fixed the problem by re-installing the Combo update for 10.6.2. It then has been working for a few days.
    But today, it deleted all my old backups and then told me that there is not enough space available. It would need approx. 150GB for about 10MB that I have "really" changed on the hard disk.
    Since I have upgraded to SL, I only had problems, problems and problems. It's TM, it's the over-all performance, it's the stability of many applications... I cannot understand why Apple has not managed to fix these annoying bugs for so many months. Apple, what's going on there? Are there no researchers available for OSX since everyone is working on the iPhone?
    First, you are not talking to Apple here. This is a user-to-user forum.
    Second, several million folks are using Snow Leopard without significant problems. Whatever is going wrong on your Mac is not common. It is something in your setup. The fact that loading the "combo" update helped the TM problem is a good indication of that. Apparently, something in your installation of OSX got corrupted. The other problems you mention may have a similar cause.
    It's not clear from your first post whether you did verify/repair disk (not permissions) on both your TM and internal HDs. If you didn't, do them both again.
    If that doesn't help, I'd recommend reinstalling OSX from your SL disc, applying the "combo" again, then repairing permissions.
    Your first post says you did a "clean" install. How did you get your data back onto your system?
    The best way will probably be to go back to 10.5. I think it's the only solution that is available yet.
    That's your call, of course, and not an easy transition after you've been on SL for a while.

  • I have tried everything. ---Suggestions?

    Whenever I try to sync my iPhone to my iTunes I can usually transfer some songs, and maybe a tv show in a good sync? Then I can the Iphone is not connected or disk cannnot be found or disk cannot be read from or written too. I of course have done research, tried numerous usb ports directly connected to my computer, have restored my iPhone, updated my computer (only to find out its up-to-date, Widows XP Media center edition by the way) I have done the whole troubleshooting steps on the apple website. I have called tech support disabled all applications on my computer and only ran iTunes and mobile finder etc. I took my iPhone to the genious bar today, and the guy restored it there, and was able to put music and movies on it. He said it could be a problem with my computer. So I went home and tried again to sync my iPhone, of course same error. I never had this problem before the update, and yes I have tried re-downloading just about everything. How come now my computer chooses to not sync my iPhone, or is it a problem with my iPhone? Also my iPhone is not unlocked or anything like that.
    If ANYONE can please help me or had a similar issue, please reply. I have a long airplane ride this Friday, and would love an ipod to accommodate me. Thankyou in Advance.

    I was having the same problem.
    I am returning my iphone for repair or even better - replacement. I feel that this phone is defective, I have had it for less than one month and I have spent much of that time on the phone with tech support.
    The current trouble began Sunday when I started to sync my phone. I was not able to sync the books from my audible account because I had removed audible manager from my computer without realizing that without audible manager my account would not be authorized. I immediately reinstalled audible manager and reauthorized my account, so far so good. Then I attempted to sync my phone again. No luck, I kept getting an error – phone could not be synced, “unknown error occurred”.
    At that point I tried erasing and resetting the phone from the settings menu. But continued to get error messages. At that time I called the support line. I was told that I would have to reset the phone using itunes restore. When we attempted to do this, we again got an error message (iphone could not be restored an unknown error occurred). Next the tech said that I would have to download and reinstall itunes. We tried repairing itunes a number of times, but each time we connected the phone, it was not recognized.
    At this point the phone was stuck at the “restore” screen and was completely unusable.
    After almost 2 hours of trouble shooting I was told that the tech who answered the phone would have to get a “product specialist” on the line. The specialist wanted me to completely remove and reinstall itunes, I explained my reluctance to remove itunes completely. The product specialist said that my only other option was to send the phone in for repair, and he set up a ticket to have a loaner sent out. Which I would not receive for 3 days.
    Let me explain why I was not willing to remove and uninstall itunes completely. Three days after I purchased the phone I realized that the ring tones I had assigned to my contacts were not working correctly. All calls would ring with whatever default I had chosen, but would not ring if I assigned a ring tone to a specific person. I spent the next 4 days being passed from one tech to another over many hours of troubleshooting, calls to Apple and waiting for a response. During this time I was told to back up my library, delete itunes and then reinstall to correct the problem. Which I did. This took 8 or 10 hours, 49 disks and another 2 days to complete. This did not correct the problem, thus my reluctance to again remove/reinstall itunes again.
    After I got off the phone, I decided to go ahead and uninstall/reinstall itunes then try to sync the phone. This did not immediately work, but after attempting to complete the restore 7 more times, finally the phone completed the reset.
    After the phone was restored, I tried to sync it and got the following errors or messages – (not necessarily in this order)
    1.The phone was not recognized 2. Phone could not be restored an unknown error occurred (6) 3. Phone could not be restored an unknown error occurred (50) 4. Device is not connected
    5. Disc could not be read from or written to 6. Required disc can not be found
    After approximately 20 attempts, I was able to partially sync the phone.
    I realize this is a long drawn out explanation, but I wanted you to be aware of everything I can remember.
