WRT54GS keeps disconnecting

I have either a version 1.0 or 1.1 of the WRT54GS and I had been using unencrypted as I lived in a pretty rural area, since moving to a more busy area there are other WIFI connections so therefore I decided to enable WPA2 on my network. Upon doing so the network works fine unless you either download, stream or anything high bandwidth. The network disconnects altogether from the computer / laptop that was carrying out the task. Disabled WPA2 and the network worked fine again with no disconnects or anything whilst doing same tasks. Any ideas? I have the latest firmware and the firewall option is enabled if any of you are wondering.

You can Enable the Wireless Secyruty on your router again... Login to your Router setup page and Change the Wireless Settings .... Click on Advanced Wireless
settings>>Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation...
Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2307 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect.... After this You can try.

WRT54G keeps disconnecting (See 6th message)

Suddenly, mid morning, I can't connect to my WRT54G. Early it was working fine. Now, when I search for networks, it shows up sometimes and then doesn't show a few seconds later. Regardless, none of the computers here will connect after "waiting for association". Securities all are set up correctly, but obviously there is something going on.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

OK, a little update and more info on what's happening now:
Now, after some tech support help from Linksys, I was advised to rename the SSID and change the broadcast channel. That seemed to work for about 24 hrs. Now the problem is that I connect and can get to one website, but just as soon as I try to go to a 2nd website, the connection drops off to zero.
Additional possibly related issues:
1. On Sunday, I began to get what appears to be some type of spyware pop-up telling me that my computer is infected and I need to download this new update/program. It is from some "scanner-antivirus.com" or something similar site. I am sure it is spyware so I immediately closed the window. What is weird is that the laptop I am using is from work and has administrator privs blocked so I cannot go into the registry to try to remove this. I still can't figure out how it can get into the registry, but no one can access the registry to get it out, but that is a different story. Could this spyware be causing or have caused the problem with the router? The laptop is not directly wired to the router.
2. Scanning for available networks in my area shows there is one secured network (apparently a neighbor) that always shows up at 90%-100% within my house, while my network typically ranges from 70% to 90% unless I am in the same room as the router. I have read that this could cause interference, but how do I block such a "dominant" signal?
Any help will be appreciated.

Linksys WRT54GS Wireless Router keeps disconnected

Hi, My wireless router WRT54GS keeps on disconnecting without any reason. I have also changed the channel to 11 but still the same issue. It connects for 1 minute and then it stops working even though the signal says "excellent strength" and all the bars are green.

Hmm. I seem to be having a similar problem (see my thread). Check the cable that is pulugged into the back of the computer. That is where my problem lies. The computer doesn't seem to be reading it. If i get some info, ill help you.
EDIT:You have to check the IP address of the computer connected to router. If you are getting an IP of 169.254.x.x, then the router might be defective.

I have a wireless network at home. I run my iphone and ipad on it with no problems. Just purchased a MacBook Pro, and now my wi-fi keeps disconnecting and i get an error message saying another device is using the same IP address. What does all this mean?

USB device keeps disconnecting/connecting after upgrading to Windows 8.1

I have a device(Pedal for Sim Racing) connected via USB, everything is working fine in Windows 7 and 8 but after upgrading my machine to Windows 8.1 the device keeps disconnecting and connecting for like every 2 seconds. But after I open the Property Sheet
in Game Controllers panel the disconnection issue was gone, if I reconnect the device the issue persist. Other people who have similar device also encounters the same issue after upgrading to windows 8.1. The issue persist with or without the device driver
installed.
Any idea, what might cause this?
Best regards
mark

I'v got this exact same problem with my Win 7 desktop. I've also got pedals and wheel but don't see it as different than all the other USB devices. I'm using a bunch of USB, but no hubs, including 3 external storage hard drives. But the momentary
disconnect appears in all devices as best as i can see..even my long time trouble free head phones..keyboard..and all. Sometimes the sound goes away and if I unplug and replug them the sound comes back, and other times I have to exit and re enter the
game. I also get video crashes ..maybe not related.IDK..and have to restart all, because I've got three black screens in Eyefinity. For years my system was trouble free and its just slowly started getting worse. I've thought it had to do with system "sleep"
etc but long ago went to never sleep max performance etc..Makes no difference. Keep thinking its my hardware or my house wiring etc..But can't seem to solve it. I replaced my Mobo/chip/ram maybe 6 months ago and that appears to have not helped. It seems
to be getting worse. I hate to start replacing parts piece by piece..cost a lot of money and sometimes doesn't help.
When I'm playing a game I can often hear "faint" sound of USB connect disconnect happening with regularity..that little bing/boink sound etc..So it must just be constantly happening...Seems weird. Didn't have anything like this happening years
ago with pretty much the same hardware and same Win7 with the continuing updates etc.
What can be causing this common problem?

My internet keeps disconnecting

Hi,
I have seen many posts now about macusers having the same problem as me. I have recently upgraded to IOS Lion and have kept the software updted on a weekly basis.
For some reason my wireless internet keeps disconnecting at speradic times during the day and it has become very irritating. It is not the connection as my PC, Iphone and Ipads are connected while both my Macbook pros decide to go wandering. I never had this problem when i was using the previous operating system but i see other uses had problems with that as well.
Does anyone have any fixes for the problem or know of any patches that can solve the problems. Please help a very irritated Macuser.
Thanks Nobby

Well try upgrading the firmware of the router & keep on holding tightly
the reset button in such a way that power light is blinking on the
router & then do a complete network power cycle i.e., unplug the power
cables from the modem & from the router & then plug in the power cable
to the modem first once all the lights are solid green you could plug
in the power cable to the router & check out it will definately work!!

External hard drive keeps disconnecting and then reconnecting

External hard drive on Time Machine, running via USB keeps disconnecting. Get the pop us that the drive wasn't disconnected properly. This Mac is brand new as is the hard drive. It is a Seagate 1T Free Agent.
After a minute or two it reconnects. I've run Seagate diagnostics and it says the drive is fine.
Any suggestions?

See #A1 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum), for a handy widget that will display the backup messages from your logs.
See what that shows; there may be a problem with the backup, which results in TM ejecting the drive. If so, the disconnect may be a symptom, not a cause. If so, see #C2 there. If not, or if you're not sure, copy and post them here.
Also, to rule out other USB problems, disconnect everything but keyboard and mouse; connect the drive directly to your Mac (no hub).
Make sure all connections are snug and secure.
Try other ports, cables, and combinations of the two (a plug that works fine in one port may not make good contact in another one, and throw intermittent errors).

My iphone external hard drive keeps disconnecting so it tells me I disconnected improperly. I have changed electric cord directly to outlet and usb also direct, and it still happens.

I store ALL my photos (400 events) on an external 1T hard drive. The hard drive keeps disconnecting so it get a msg telling me I disconnected improperly basically which is a serious no no. I then have to re-start. I have tried connecting directly to the wall outlet, to a super duper surge protector and also have connected the usb (was on a usb port) directly to the computer. But it continues to happen a total nusance. What do I do?

I would first contact Seagate's tech support for a possible solution. If that doesn't prove successful then I would try a different product or consider building your own.
Basic Backup
Get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
Silver Keeper
Retrospect
Super Flexible File Synchronizer
SuperDuper!
Synchronize Pro! X
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
Cool Drives
OWC
WiebeTech
Firewire Direct
California Drives
NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

WiFi keeps disconnecting in Mountain Lion 10.8.2 on Macbook Pro

I have an early i7 2011 Macbook Pro. Since upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 my WiFi keeps disconnecting. There isn't a certain time it disconnects - sometimes it works fine for a few hours, sometimes for just 10 minutes. When the connection is lost, it shows that its connected in the taskbar at the top, however when going into network preferences it shows the WiFi as turned off. In order to turn it back on I need to restart the Mac.
I have tried the following:
reset SMC
delete network preferences
create new network connection
add DNS servers
Add manual MTU
Require password to turn on/off WiFi / change network (still disconnects!)
Change order of preferred networks
I phoned Apple Care who told me to delete the network preferences, this worked for about 5 mins and then the problem returned!
I cannot change the router settings as I connect to my employers network. All other employees using Window machines are working fine and my iPhone connects perfectly fine also.
Somebody please help me! I feel my only option now would to do a clean install - not ideal! Apple, please HELP.
Merry Christmas everyone.

Hi - I have the same problem with my MacBook Pro mid 2010 which drops the wifi connection randomly (not necessarily when I move it or the lid - see other posts on this) and then often ends up freezing when I try to investigate.
I installed Mavericks to see if that would resolve the issue but it doesn't.
Somebody in one of these posts suggested it might be a faulty connection between airport card and mother board... which I suppose could be caused by a jolt to the machine (mine travels as hand luggage on planes every now and then).
I am running OS X 10.9 on a 13 inch Mid 2010 MBP with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 4 GB 1067MHz DDR3 memory.
If anyone comes up with an answer to this PLEASE post it here so that we can all resolve our wifi dropping/freezing issues!
Thanks

WLAN keeps disconnecting on N8

I now have a new problem with my Nokia N8. When i'm connected to my WLAN netwrok, it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting. I've reset my router several times. but it keeps doing it. It happends when i use the Dukto App and when I download files onto the N8. It's really starting to annoy me know. How can I get the N8 to stay connected to the WLAN network?????

I go back and forth between two countries. in my house in mainland europe which has a Bluewin router, what you are describing happens all the time, then in the UK my phone works perfectly fine thorugh my virgin media wireless hub. Also works fine through all other routers and public wlan etc.
So yeah i agree with kelevra, it has something to do with the hub. I dont know if theres a solution. probably not. its just once again down to nokia cutting corners with their sofware again i suppose.

Skype account keeps disconnecting after 30 seconds

hi guys,
its driving me nuts. my skype account keeps disconnecting after 30 seconds and i haven't even done anything. it does it on windows, and on my iphone too.
what's going on? is this a problem with skype? i've seen similar posts. and i'm using skype 6.20

That generally means there is an issue with your Microsoft account. You may have to verify some settings in your account to make sure a configuration isn't causing it. The only solution I'm aware of is temporarily unlinking your account. I do not know if reconnecting it will resolve the issue right away.

Keeps disconnect and reconnect

I have a retina Macbook Pro 13"(latest), iPad(3rd genernation), iPhone 5 and iPod shuffle(latest) and I am sure all their systems as well as iTunes on my Macbook Pro are latest version. The thing is that whenever I connect my iPad and iPod shuffle and try to sync using iTunes it just keeps disconnect and reconnect. At frist I thought there might be some problem with my USB port, so I tried both of my USB ports and it keeps behave like that. And the wired thing is, it did not happend to my iPhone 5 so far. So it is most likely that there are problems with the iTunes.
So I just want to ask is there anyone encounter the same problem and if you know how to fix this problem plsssssss tell me. Thx.

I think these problems were hopefully solved by recent update of Itunes.

Are you using NTFS driver in Mac OS X to WRITE to your MyBook?
If so, switch to Paragon Software's. Demo is fine.
MyBooks are often trouble, though usually under OS X.
In Windows, do chkdsk on it.
