Wrt54g reboots when only vaio laptop connects

Running the wrt54g with no broadcast ID, MAC filtering, and WPA.It works great for all laptops I have except a sony vaio which does eventually work but only after it causes the router to reboot. This is mainly annoying since when others are connected the reboot can affect them. Once the router reboots [first time], the sony can be reconnected (as long as the router is powered up, it seems to remember something) and the router will not reboot a second or third time. I have done what I can with sony but alas, no joy. Other than this one laptop problem, I experience no others. Also upgraded to firmware 8.2, same problem. any suggestions? newbie22

Check if you have static ip assigned on Lenovo computer.
If yes, then set it on “Obtain an IP automatically” to do so follow this link .
If it is already on “Obtain an IP automatically” then try to upgrade/re-flash the firmware of the router.
To do that first download the firmware from here and then follow the below mentioned steps
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now login to the setup page of the router and check the firmware version of the router it should be updated.

Why is my Ipad2 not connecting to my network when phone and laptop connect successfully?

Why is my Ipad 2 not connecting to my network when phone and laptop connect immediately?

Could be all sorts of reasons, Can you give us more details about your setup?
Check to see if the wifi is turned on the the iPad. That would be the first thing I would check.
Next what is the configuration of your network? Do you have a password setup to prevent others from connecting to your network? Any details you can provide will make it easier to figure out where your probem is.

WRT54G reboots when connecting to PS3

Hi Guys,
I have a strange problem with my wireless connection to the PS3. The description is a little lengthy so kindly bear with me.
I bought a WRT54G v7 (UK) router especially so I can connect to my PS3 wirelessly. I've even upgraded to the latest router firmware 7.004 and I have also upgraded my PS3 firmware to the latest 1.93 version.
These are my settings:
Router IP: 192.168.1.10
PS3 settings (Static IP assigned)
IP address: 192.168.1.55
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Default Router: 192.168.1.10
DNS1: ISP's DNS (I've read that I can use Router IP in this field)
DNS2: ISP's DNS2 (I've read that this can be left blank)
On the Router, I have no wireless security enabled (no WEP, no WPA, no Mac Filtering). I have UPnP enabled. And I haven't tried port forwarding
On the PS3, in the security option (Disable, WEP, WPA) i chose the Disable option, MTU is set at Auto, no Proxy, and UPnP is enabled
As you can tell, I've chosen the manual method to connect to the PS3 because in automatic, the connection test fails at the Ip address check itself.
At first, The IP test would pass but the connection test would fail, telling me that it was a DNS error. After several attempts, the test passed and I was able to connect to PSN. I created an ID, browsed the store and even started downloading a Demo.
After being connected for a couple of hours, I suddenly disconnected. Then when I tried signing in to PSN, I got an error.
Now here's the real problem. When I tried the connection test under Settings, the IP test Succeeded, the Connection test Succeeded, but the moment the PSN test begins, the router restarts and the PSN test fails. Its almost like the router is not allowing my PS3 to access the internet although all the connection tests are successful.
Does anyone have any clue as to why this is happening? Any help would be appreciated
Regards
Sam

Hi ,
I also have the same problem as you. Then I tried to disable uPnP from your PS3 and your Linksys router. Then it's work normally.

Suggestion when only able to connect to some services when using Kerberos.

I had been having problems using Kerberos for authentication for some services. It worked fine when on a LAN and worked when I had a VPN (MS-CHAP). But when trying to connect normally, I was able to get a TGT, but often ran into issues when trying to connect to other services (e.g. IMAP / VPN). What's more, sometimes everything did work, but stopped again soon after.
My setup has one server providing all the services in question. There were several CNAMES linking the different services (e.g. ichat.mydomain, mail.mydomain etc).
I found a number of people who seemed to have similar issues, but the threads were archived so I couldn't post a reply. So I'm hoping they come across this message and it helps them.
Because of an unrelated problem, it was brought to my attention that there were some problems with the DNS records relating to my domain – not on my server, but on the net.
After some experimenting, I discovered that if I set the DNS (in System Preferences) on my client Mac to the server I was contacting most things worked.
It seems that the Kerberos system may do a reverse lookup at some point, or something similar.
When I do a "dig -x <my ip address>" I get different responses over time, and from different DNS servers. When I did "dig @<my own dns> -x <my ip address>" it always came back with the correct server name.
So perhaps the issue lies with the DNS that your machine is looking up? This would explain why it works on the lan (the DNS is probably your server) and over VPN (again your server is the DNS).
This may not be the answer to these people's problems, but if you were getting messages such as "Server not found in Kerberos database" in your logs, it may pay to check what is getting return by DNS servers outside your organisation.
HTH.

PS. I haven't called the Verizon DSL Tech Support team yet...but I will soon. I figured on asking here first.
Ok.
#1 You must get to the network control panel on your computer.
One of the ways, for Windows XP is:
a) Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Network Connections
b) The screen will look like steps 5 and 6, on http://portforward.com/networking/static-xp.htm
For Windows Vista:
a) Go to the globe icon (start button) -> Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center -> Manage Network Connections.
b) The screen will look like steps 5, 6, and 7, on
http://portforward.com/networking/static-vista.htm
#2 Right click on the WAN miniport (PPPOE), and remove the check mark that says Set as Default Connection.

WRT54G-V3 Disabling SSID Broadcast/Laptop connectivity

I set up this wrt54g v3 yesterday
everything went well
but when I attempted to disable the ssid broadcast for the network, I completely loose all connectivity on the wireless laptop
here is what I have
wpa-psk/tkip
wireless mac filtering
and my challenge is this "disable broacast" thing because once I do I loose all connectivity on the laptop.
As of 9:00am EST I have the broadcasting on but the network is secured but I really would like to know what element I'm missing here.
Also when I did this able the broadcast the laptop wireless card was flickering but I never quite stayed on for me to use it.
My goal (if I had one) would be do disable the broadcast and still have my laptop have connectivity to the AP.
Thanks in advance and God bless.

Hmmmm... probably a laptop glitch.... can't connect to the network coz it can't see it.
Try upgrading the routers firmware while your at it. It's the most you could do coz everything actually checks out fine.

OS X crashing on reboot when USB Bluetooth device connected

After a very recent SW update to 10.4.5 OS X is crashing on reboot with a black screen of death when USB Bluetooth D-Link DWB-120M is connected. Crash is systematic if bluetooth device is connected. How do I correct the situation to be able to make use of the bluetooth USB device?

Hi, noordm. Welcome to the Discussions.
You wrote: "...crashing on reboot with a black screen of death..."Can you clarify what you mean by "black screen of death?"
For example, if you are seeing this message, that indicates a kernel panic.
If so, see my "Resolving Kernel Panics" FAQ. This FAQ includes step-by-step instructions for identifying and resolving some of the most common causes of kernel panics. The FAQ is a roadmap: start at the beginning and work systematically through the end, i.e. the "If all else fails..." section.

WRT54GS v5.1 auto reboot when wireless device connects

Hi,
I'm using the linksys WRT54GS wireless router v5.1
Current Firmware version v1.50.9, Sep. 14, 2006
The problem that I have is that everytime a new device connects to the Router wirelessly, the router reboots itself.
After the reboot, everything seems to be working fine. This becomes quite annoying when it comes to gaming and another family member turns on their laptop and then I get disconnected by the router because they are connecting.
What I have done upto now is reset the router after doing the FirmWare Version update and the problem still occurs. (The problem was still there even before I had done a FirmWare Update.)
Is there a way to solve this problem? because I have read about a few other problems just like mine on the forums and they don't seem to have been resolved.
Or will I have to go back to PCWORLD to see if I can get a refund / replacement?

I do not see a "keep alive" option. I use the Automatic Configuration - DHCP because I have connected, a CABLE MODEM provided by my cable provider Telewest Blueyonder
The router just reboots when the wireless laptops connect. The wired desktop (this PC) loses connection as it is rebooting and regains connection after the reboot. Then both PC and Laptop work fine.

Loss of connectivity of a wireless network when more than one laptop connects to the internet.

Hi, I have a wired network of 20 computers controlled by a net gear wired router from a DSL modem. The router is plugged into a hub. I have a linksys router WRT54GX4 which is plugged into the hub to allow wireless internet access. The DHCP has been disabled on the wireless router. I have added three access points WAP54G which are plugged into the wired network in outer rooms to expand the wireless network. The wireless network works just fine with only one laptop connected to the internet but when two laptops connect they both lose connectivity. That is my problem. Does anyone have any suggestions? The IP address of the wired router is 192.168.2.1, the IP address of the wireless router is 192.168.2.3, the IP address of the access points are 192.168.2.245, 192.168.2.246, 192.168.2.247. All the devices are on channel 11. All have the same SSID. The default gateway on the access points is 192.168.2.1. It is an unsecured network. Please help. Thanks Peter Z

Hi MnM Show,
Tim is correct, if you are using ISCSI Storage and using the network to get to it, it is recommended that the iSCSI Storage fabric have a dedicated and isolated network. This
network should be disabled for Cluster communications so that the network is dedicated to only storage related traffic.
This prevents intra-cluster communication as well as CSV traffic from flowing over same network. During the creation of the Cluster, ISCSI traffic will be detected and the network
will be disabled from Cluster use. This network should set to lowest in the binding order.

IPod causing my laptop to crash and reboot when connecting to USB !!

Hello all,
Here is what I am working with, 30 GB , 5th gen Video iPod with Itunes 7.6.2.9
Problem:
I have had my Sony Vaio laptop with Vista for a couple of months and it had been humming along just fine with my 30GB Video iPod. After loading some new pics via Itunes recently I noticed that the capacity used information in the About section of the iPod was incorrect, my iPod was showing 1gig left, and I only have 500 songs, 600 photos, 3 videos and some podcasts loaded. Itunes showed I had plenty of space left so that contradicted what the Ipod reflected. So after some googling I found that the recommended solution was to restore your iPod and reload all your music back via Itunes. Little did I know that trying to solve that little problem would create a far greater one.
First using an external hard drive (Western Digital) I backed up all of my music from Itunes. I then started the restore process via Itunes, during the restore my computer hung and froze. Then my computer crashed and rebooted. When it came back up I plugged the iPod back into the USB to complete the restore, this time however my laptop did not recognize my iPod (note, it is empty, with no music since I did the restore). Instead my system assigned it a drive letter G: in the my computer section. A message box pops up asking if I want to scan and check or skip this new drive, it also says scan is recommended. I selected the scan and it checked the Ipod with no problems. If I elect not to scan the iPod then the computer will crash within 30 seconds. After it scans it appear s as if it is going to synch up, iPod says ‘do not disconnect’, then bam, computer crashes and reboots with the black screen. I tried various troubleshooting steps and each time when plugging the iPod in Itunes it starts up and it takes maybe 1 minute trying to recognize it when the computer crashes and reboots automatically going to the black screen and doing a file dump. It seems that no matter what I do Itunes does not recognize the iPod, the system sees it as a mass storage device, hence I am unable to complete the restore.
To troubleshoot I have done the following without any luck:
- Removed Itunes (3x, using different versions) and reinstalled it, tried again
to restore nothing, still crashing
- Removed and reinstalled Quicktime as stand alone, still same thing. Note: for some reason on Vista you have to have Quicktime installed separate as stand alone and not select the automatic bundle version that comes with Itunes otherwise you will get a separate error that won’t allow you to open Itunes and it will say it’s corrupt. I spent hours on just this problem.
- Downgraded my Itunes to an older version. Same problem.
- Upgraded ITunes to the latest and greatest, 7.6.2.9, nada.
- Reformatted my ipod at the command line, so as to bypass my computer from doing it, plugged it back in, this time it went a little longer before it crashed when Itunes came up.
- Downloaded and installed all the latest Vista patches and fixes.
- Downloaded and installed the latest Sony patches and fixes.
- Re-assigned the drive letter on my Ipod, changed it to “Ipod”, “P”, and lastly “Q”, still shows up on my system as that drive letter, then Ipod. Another time it showed up just as drive letter, and “mass storage device”. Still Itunes is not recognizing it.
- Plugged the iPod into different USB ports, 3 different ones, still same.
- Checked each USB port, a sound does come on for each port when either plugging in the Ipod or another device, all ports recognize when a device is plugged in.
- Made sure no other devices are plugged into the USB ports.
- Disabled every single USB port via Device Manager, then plugged in Ipod, at that point it didn’t even recognize it.
- Disabled every single USB port, except for 1, then plugged in Ipod, recognized in computer but not Itunes, then Itunes tries to recognize it, during that time my computer crashes and reboots
- Disabled and reenabled every single USB port, then tried. Ipod is recognized in device manager but not Itunes. Ipod shows message “do not disconnect” for awhile, seems like its working… then bam, my laptop crashes. By the way, Itunes does come up and all my music is there.
I also did this:
Reset the iPod using these steps:
- Disconnect iPod.
- Make sure the 'hold' switch is not on.
- Press and hold the 'menu' and 'select' (circle) buttons simultaneously.
- Keep holding them both down for at least five seconds.
- The iPod displays the apple logo and properly resets.
In summary, I have spent over 30 hours working on this problem. Bottom line is Vista is assigning a lettered drive to the iPod thinking it is a mass storage device, hence it is not being recognized in Itunes enabling it to complete the restore. To complicate matters before you can do much troubleshooting the *laptop crashes and reboots within 3 minutes of plugging the iPod into any of the USB ports.* !!!
This is just utterly insane, don't know what else to do. For starters stopping my laptop from crashing everytime it is plugged in would be nice !
Losing it in L.A.

+I tried various troubleshooting steps and each time when plugging the iPod in Itunes it starts up and it takes maybe 1 minute trying to recognize it when the computer crashes and reboots automatically going to the black screen and doing a file dump.+
I'm curious about this point. Is there any flash of a blue screen at any point here? (That's a more familiar sort of thing to be seeing prior to the system doing a restart after a serious error.)

WRT54G (v7) reboots when notebook connects

Hey folks!
I really have a weired issue here...
My WRT54G (Version 7) was running just perfect for a couple of years already... I've bough a new Netbook recently and when this netbook connects to the router it takes about 10 seconds and the WRT54G reboots itself again and again.
You know, I really see a lot of PC problems, but this one just odd
Just like I said it was running perfect for years.
I have two notebooks here:
- My old one (ASUS X-52SA, running Win7 Ultimate)
- and the new netbook: A Lenovo S10-3t, running Win7 Home premium.
When I'm working with the ASUS, everthing's fine. I've sent a "ping 192.268.1.1 -t" from it to the router and the WRT is responding well.
As soon as I connect the Lenovo to the WRT (not matter if I'm doing this via WiFi or LAN-cable!!!) the ping will show about 3 timeouts on the ASUS. The ping is OK then for another 7 seconds before it goes dead again. This goes on and on...
On the Router itself I can see that it's really rebooting then.
- When the ping times out, the router really is rebooting (all LEDs are off, shorty after it all of 'em will flash for a short time).
- And it's rebooting and rebooting and rebooting...
I really haven't seen this before in my whole career...
I though I would just update the Firmware and everything's will be fine - until I found out that the v7 cannot be upgraded somehow...
Does anyone of you guys have an idea what the reboot could cause?
(I'm sorry for my grammar - English is not my native language )
Best regards,
Michel

Hub Resetting only when Laptop connected

Hi,
I would be grateful for any pointers or advice on how to solve or track down the following problem.
I have a BT Business Hub which is connected by cable to a desktop PC and by wireless to two laptops.
( The laptops are only very occasionally used at the same time as the desktop, which is my main machine
and is used virtually all day)
Up until recently all three computers could be connected to the Internet without any issues, but
recently when one of the laptops is in use ( and it's always the same laptop ), my business Hub
resets itself and the connection is lost before being re-establised.
Odd as it sounds, this only happens occasionally, but as far as I can work out, only when the
troublesome laptop ( which is otherwise operating fine) is in use and connected to the Internet.
I could be going off on the wrong track, but would the laptop in question be capable of sending data
to the hub which would cause the hub to reset? And if so, what can I do to detect the problem?
Apologies for the vagueness of this query, as I am slightly confused as to what might be going on.
Thanks
DL

Laptop reboots when ipad connected

hi, can anyone advise a solution..
my laptop detects 'digital camera' when my ipad is connected
and thereafter my itune freezes and the system crashes and reboots by itself

after hours of troubleshooting.. tech support finally helped me get mine fixed... and it is now working fine... it seems I had too many things in my itunes, which was too overwhelming for the ipad and my computer to do all at once... so I went into edit... preferences... devices.... and prevent ipads ipods from syncing automatically... ok.... and then went back in and just synced a few songs at a time... then synced my photos a few files at a time... and it is now syncing wonderfully..

I connected my laptop to the tv and it has worked before. this time only the laptop flashes the blue screen and the tv is saying no signal. when i tried to check the dispaly arrangement it says this:The Arrangement tab of Displays preferences is hidden

i connected my laptop to the tv and it has worked before. this time only the laptop flashes the blue screen and the tv is saying no signal. when i tried to check the dispaly arrangement it says this:The Arrangement tab of Displays preferences is hidden because you only have a single display attached to this computer.

It is not properly connected to the network.
Make sure location is set correctly
DNS should be on auto (settings - general - network)
Try ethernet
Signal strength on device won't account for issues, you would need a network report from istumbler, netstumbler or similar. This will show accurate signal strength along with noise and nearby networks

Network Interruption when Laptop connects

Hello All
- I have WRT54G V5 with firmware 1.00.6 connects to ADSL Sagem modem
- 1 PC with Sitecom network adapter running on WIN XP Pro connect to Router through WAN
- 1 vaio laptop with builtin Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG version 9.0.4.17 running on WIN Home connect to Router though WAN
The problem occures while I have my pc connected to the router, when I try to connect my laptop to the router the whole network iterrupts and it connects back automatically.
So I am confused why this interruption on the network when i try to connect my laptop to it. The connection goes back to normal when both PC and Laptop reconnect to the network.
I'll be glad to provide more info about the situation, but maybe someone could fill me up on why this is happening.
I have tried manual DHCP and automatic and still the same problem.Message Edited by ZinG on 08-21-2006 03:55 PM

Don't think it is the router's problem.
I've just found this symptom on Intel's website.
http://support.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/cs-022509.htm
But I am not sure if it applies to your Laptop, since it has a different Intel Pro Wireless version. But you can probably tell it is a laptop problem since it only occues from the laptop and not from any other Computers you try to connect.
Maybe I am wrong but you can tell us what is your Wifi adapter on your Laptop?

One laptop connects 90% of the time to a RVS4400N and one only connects intermitently.

This is a confusing scenario so I'll try to be as clear as possible.
I have a network with the following configuration:
A Linksys wireless router (WRVS4400N) is connected to a Verizon Westell DSL modem. (Downstream speed is 1.5Mb/s.) A client based app. connects to a server that houses data for the client on the Internet. Two laptops are connected to the network via WiFi. A Vaio can connect consistently to the Internet and run the app with little or no problems. However, a Toshiba only can connect about 10% of the time. When running the app on the Toshiba it eventually times out, or runs very slowly. (it's a connection problem not the client running slowly on the laptop.)
Here's the confusing part: the Toshiba can connect, using the client app, when on another wireless router, just not on the WRVS4400N router.
To review: On the WRVS4400N router the Vaio can usually connect to client app's server. Toshiba usually can't. However, Toshiba can connect when using another wireless router.
I can't figure out what's wrong. If I connect the Toshiba using a CAT-5 cable directly to the DSL modem it works fine. And when I connect it to a port on the WRVS4400N router, via a CAT-5 cable, it also works fine.
I was thinking it had something to do with a keep alive timer on the Toshiba but it just appears that the connection the Toshiba has to the Linksys wireless router is slow.
Ideas??

Are the adapters 802.11g, 802.11n? Or other? Which wireless adapter is working and which is not. I'm assuming the Real-Tek is not.
How is the wireless setup on the WRVS4400N? Which mode are you using, i.e. B/G/N-Mixed or other?
Within the WRVS4400N's web interface, if you go to the Wireless tab and select Advanced Wireless Settings, what settings are active in the WMM and IOT Mode drop-down menus? You can dry to disable WMM or enable IOT mode if you are using 802.11n adapters and see if that helps.
