WRT54G V8.2 Wireless disconnecting

Hello, I have recently updated my firmware for my router and ever since (might be a coincidence or not) my wireless will disconnect and my router's page is also unaccessable at that point. I can still see my wireless network and when I attempt to connect it just stays on connecting for a long time.
I have another computer connected by wire and this computer never loses connection. When my wireless stops working that wired computer can no longer access the router home page either.
The whole problem is quickly fixed by unplugging my router (power cord) and replugging. At that point everything returns to normal for a while (6-7 hours possibly more or less). It starts all over by my wireless disconnecting.
Securities I have setup:
My laptop is quite old so the only wireless protection I can offer is WEP128 (Which is enabled)
I also have MAC filters on the wireless only enabling computers with a MAC address in the list to connect to the router.
Please help not sure what the problem is and it is getting a little annoying.
Thanks

You need to hard reset your router for 1 minute...
Press and hold the reset button for 1 minute...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 1 minute and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...Also do the Advance Wireless Settings...
On the router set-up click on Wireless tab and change the channel to 11 and save the settings...
Click on the subtab "Advanced Wireless settings"
Change the Beacon Interval to 75...
Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304...
Change the RTS Threshold to 2307 and click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...If you still face the same problem you should get your router replaced...

WRT54G v.6 Periodic Disconnects. HELP!

The issue i am having is interesting. I have the WRT54G v.6 wireless router. I have a strong cable connection wired directly from the modem to my desktop, currently. I purchased the router so that my roommate could make use of the wireless cable connection as well.
I set up the router, wiring my desktop to it, while my roommates laptop picked up the wireless connection without an issue. However.. about 20-25 minutes afterward, the connection for BOTH the wired desktop and wireless laptop would be interrupted/disconnected for a few seconds to minute, then reconnect. This happens continuously. This is problematic as a main reason for the connection is to game online. I will be having a wired LAN gathering of sorts for the same reason this weekend, so i am hoping to understand why this is happing, and resolve the issue.
Linksys tech support has been unable to diagnose the issue, nor even provide me with a competent understanding of the problem i am describing, being as outsourcing has resulted in the support staff simply reading a scripted log. I have called them three times, and they have been of no assistance.
The wired and wireless connection worked and was recognized with the base default settings of the router. I altered the settings as per the support staff's directions to no avail. I also ran the wireless notebook through the linksys "easy access setup" program, also to no avail.
I have since then disconnected the router, and once again, i am running my desktop directly to the modem. I have not experienced a disconnect since, so i am certain the problem is router-based.
Can anyone provide some insight?

EXACTLY MY SAME PROBLEM!!!!
Im using the same router version 6, 1 WIRED computer, 3 Wireless LAPTOP connection, And disconnection is relgular, although it jus reconnects autmatically, i jus find it ANNOYING!!!!!!!!!!!!
contacted Linksys, who is now offering me support she directs me to
"Please follow these steps:
1. Connect one computer directly to your router.
2. Access the setup page of the router using the routerâ€™s IP address on the address bar of your Internet browser. The default routerâ€™ IP address is 192.168.1.1. Just leave the username blank and type admin for the password. If you have changed the routerâ€™s password during the initial setup, you may use that password. If the router doesnâ€™t accept the admin as well as your password, try to reset the router for 5 seconds.
3. Under Setup tab, locate MTU.
4. Set MTU to enable then enter 1300 on the size field.
5. Click on Save Settings then click Continue.
6. Click on the Wireless tab. Change the SSID if it is still linksys, change it to your family name to avoid network interference.
7. Change the channel to 11.
8. Make sure that your SSID Broadcast is enabled.
9. Click on Save Settings.
10. Shut down everything for 2 minutes.
11. Power on starting from the modem then the router and lastly your PC."
Stll i get disconnection problems which i emailed her back and now hoping to get a reply.
So if anyone can give it a try and see if it works, otherwise im gonna giveup and just return the **bleep** thing!
**bleep**!
I was having the same problem.
WHAT THE LADY SAID WORKED!! I GOT MY CONNECTION BACK, SIGNAL STRENGTH AND CONNECTION AT 100% AND STAYING!!!!!
I would suggest everyone give the instructions above a try cause it seems to work.
But even thought it did work, technical support you guys need to reaize this is a issue and a problem and needs to be resolved.
As my connection kept coming in and out I was watching the signal strength and it kept going from Good to Poor and back to Good and on and on and on. AND MY ROUTER IS ONLY 30FT FROM MY WIRELESS COMPUTER. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED!
Thank you.

Why is my wireless disconnecting frequently when using Safari but not Firefox.

Ever since upgrading to the latest Apple Software on my iMac, I have been experiencing wireless disconnection but just on Safari. Also HTML images in emails are not loading. Firefox works fine.

Hi Sebaz, first try repairing permissions. Go to Applications-->Utilities-->select Disk Utility. Select your drive then select the First Aid button then at the bottom right click Verify Disk and after it verifies your drive click on Verify Disk Permissions on the left. If there any errors click on Repair Disk Permission. Reboot your machine and test your Safari to see if the issue comes back.

Wrt54g as a wireless card

I have a wrt54g running my wireless network, can i use another wrt54g as a wireless reciever to add another computer to my system?

No.. You just need to get an extra wireless adapter, it can PCI/USB wireless adapter for desktop computer user or wireless PCMCIA card/USB wireless adapter for laptop user (check first, most likely there is built-in wireless adapter on laptop).

Hows it going every one? I have a WRT54G V8.0 wireless router, and I tried to update it's firmware earlier and I guess I failed miserably! The thing wont network, wont let me into thelinksys GUI toconfigure anything. But all the lights work... and it wont let me go into administration mode either to force the old firmware back on. I am really stuck so if anyone knows how to re-flash a router without the routers GUI or something similar, that would be of great help... thanks!

there seems to be consistant issues with Linksys routers according to all the posts ive been reading for the past month while i try to fix my on and off again internet connection. its becomming very annoying. i have asked my cable company to replace my modem, which they did and that didn't even help. last year i bought a new linksys router thinking it would solve my problem back then. it did for a while, then my lap top wouldn't connect any, so i sent it into have it checked and it came back with no problems. soooooooooo apparently, while i am connected to my neighbors open connection from his BELKIN ROUTER and even though the signal is very weak............amazingly enough!! i am still online while typing this.......funny eh?? WELL........it seems to me......that i guess i wont be buying linksys anything anymore. Especially after spending hours on the help line (INDIA) trying to reset channels and reset the router box itself. i give up.......i have 2 pieces of crap routers for sale cheap......any takers? dont waste your time

Tx1000, when wireless disconnects, have to restart computer

I have an HP pavillion tx1000 (Windows Vista) that I bought in Dec 07. Every time the wireless disconnects, I have to restart my computer to get it to resconnect to my wireless again. It will disconnect from my wireless whether I'm using my computer or not. I know it is not a problem with my wireless, since I do not have problems with anything else connected to my wireless. I have changed the wireless client. updated the driver and tried disable and enable the wireless, yet nothing works except restarting the computer. The computer does tend to get hot, but I have it on a laptop fan and the wireless disconnects regardless of how long my computer has been on.

i have exact same problem with my tx1000... could you please let me know if you resolved this issue?

E3200 - Wireless disconnects and slow speed

I bought the E3200 in order to replace my "old" and "outdated" networking equipment, which happens to consist of a Linksys WAP54g access point, connected to a Netgear RT311 router. That old setup has worked reliably for years, and with decent speed. However, I have noticed my wireless connections dropping off every now and then, to the tune of a few times a week, and thought that it might be time to get new N-based equipment.
The E3200 arrived last night, so I installed it right away. Installation was actually a breeze! But, that is the ONLY reason I even gave this unit more than the minimum of one star. I was able to get this router up and running, and connected to my cable modem, in no time. And then, connecting all of our wireless devices to it was pretty quick too. Thus ends the good part of this review...
I worked from home today, as I do fairly regularly, and NEVER in all of my days of doing so have I had so many wireless disconnects! My work laptop is a year-old Lenovo W500 running Win7 Enterprise 64-bit, souped up with lots of memory and hard drive space. Like I said, only recently had I noticed any sort of drop-offs when talking to my 802.11g AP. Well, it seemed like every ten minutes my laptop would get disconnected today talking to the new 802.11n AP/Router. Isn't N-based equipment, and this E3200 in particular, supposed to be really fast and reliable? This one certainly isn't! Oh, I've only complained about the reliability part so far... Trust me, the SPEED is terrible too! While my laptop's wireless connection in Windows was telling me that I was connected at between 117 and 130Mbps pretty regularly, there is no way that can be true! I am a programmer, so I am connected to the office over VPN every day, and we use Microsoft's TFS for our source code. Over my G connection, the code came over pretty quickly. Over the N connection today, it was DOG slow! I mean REALLY bad! Took forever to get my source code! And, web pages seemed to load really slow all day! Just loading this page to write this review seemed to take a lifetime!
I really think this thing only deserves one star, and that being for the ease of the setup. But, since one is the minimum, I gave it two. As to the value for the money? Not there. This unit isn't cheap. I paid a little more to get a better quality product, but I am left disappointed.
My intent here is not to slam the Linksys product really. I have been using a Linksys wireless-g access point for years, and I love it! However, I want to (a) warn other of my experience, and (b) see if anybody has any ideas as to how this can be fixed, perhaps. Maybe the out-of-the-box configuration always behave this way, and it just needs some tweaking??? I hope so, but I doubt it. And if this is not merely a matter of a little tweaking, I intend to return this router, and reconnect my old, faithful equipment.
-- UPDATE --
I am sitting within a few inches of this lousy router with my laptop, trying to tweak its settings via the web interface. The wireless connection is still really slow, and keeps timing out. I could probably plug in to the GB port, but the purpose of this exercise was to see if the connection problems were due to distance and walls. Apparently, they were not. Sigh...

Although I am not the aforementioned Scott, my experience with the E3200 has been very similar. What lead me to do something about it and find this thread was the constant wireless dropping. Working from home and having the connection come and go multiple times a day will motivate a person.
This started happening after having the E3200 for 4 months. I did the firmware upgrade, but not the reset/reconfigure, and things cleared up for another 3 months. Then shortly after having the new Dish Network Hopper/Joey system installed, the problem came back. Not sure if it had anything to do with it but that was the only thing that changed in my environment.
The Hopper/Joey is Ethernet wired to the E3200 via a MoCA bridge and does add additional network traffic. Also there is a ZigBee wireless remote which may or may not be causing additional interference.
Regardless, I did the recommended 30 second reset and reconfigure including picking channels for both wireless types. Everything is back up and running good so far. Fingers crossed.

Wireless disconnection

My Macbook's wireless connection will stop working after some hours of non-interactive use. For instance, last night I was playing an audio book as I went to sleep and when I woke up it was still playing but my wireless connection was gone. I had to manually re-attach to my wireless network.
One interesting entry in the system.log:
Jul 22 05:55:12 Eloise kernel[0]: ATHR: beacon miss causing loss of connection
I have a Linksys 802.11g wireless router. I don't remember seeing this problem with my Powerbook G4. The Macbook/Linksys combo is screaming fast most of the time, and my Macbook seems to have terrific wireless reception (it shows many more wireless networks than the Powerbook or even my wife's iBook can see).
Any ideas?

Hi Batmensch -
If you can get access to your router's config, try this - set the channel to anything other than the default.
I had the same problem, and it seemed to spread to my wife's PC on the same LAN. PC & Mac with the same problem - sounded fishy!
There are four wireless networks that I can detect from my desk, so I wondered if they were somehow interfering. So I reset the channel on my router from the default 11 to 7, and Hey Presto! no more wireless disconnection.

Wireless Disconnection issue with WRT160N v3

Hi Everyone,
I'm having trouble with my new WRT160N v3 router.
It's currently updated with firmware Ver.3.0.02 Build 3.
My setup is as follows:
Wired connection: 2-Desktop Computers & 1-Xbox 360.
Wireless connection: 1-Laptop, 1-Xbox 360, 1-Platstation 3, 1-PSP & 1-Wii.
The issue is that EVERYTHING connected wirelessly disconnects after a short period of time in use, whether I'm doing work on my laptop or gaming (and all my consoles are connected wirelessly) - everything disconnects.
Another thing is that there always seems to be a loss in reception and the router is just in the other room (approx. 10 meters away).
I sat and I configured the router's wireless settings over and over again with all kinds of settings, but it just doesn't seem to help.
What is going on with this router? it's very problematic because a lot of people are complaing about the same issue.
I especially went out to buy a new router and ended up buying this sad router that really gets a person upset.
It's really frustrating being in the middle of a multiplayer game when you get disconnect because of a router that can't even keep it's wireless connectivity up, and this issue happens on every single piece of hardware I have that connects wirelessly.
Has anybody got any suggestions regarding this issue or some or other wat to solve it?
Thanks for all the help!

Try to readjust the Wireless settings on the router...
Open the linksys setup page by typing 192.168.1.1 in the address bar.Reduce the MTU size to 1365 and click on save settings. Now,Click on Wireless tab and change the Channel Width to 20GHz only and Channel to 11.Click on subtab Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,RTS Threshold to 2307 >>Click on Save Settings.

Wireless disconnect automatically

I bought an iPad Air 32 v 7.1.1 yesterday, when I'm using internet ,My wireless disconnect automatically and I must open setting/wireless and select my network again(I didn't pick "ask to join network) what can I do!?

Reset your router and device. You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.

Wireless disconnecting constantly

Hi everyone,
I had BT infinity installed over a month ago. In that time the wireless has been disconnecting nearly everyday. It has got to the point where I have been power cycling my hub (home hub 3) a few times a day on occasion.
I couldn't connect at all last night, I testing using an eternet cable and had a connection but the wireless still wouldn't connect. I have tried various settings - changing channels etc based on inssider but to no avail.
Has anyone got any ideas, or could it be down to a duff home hub? I think the longest period i've had a solid wirless connection is maybe 3 days.
Please help!
Thanks,
Sam

If you are staying connected by Ethernet when the wireless disconnects it is more than likely a faulty hub. One thing to try if you haven't already and that is to carry out a factory reset of the homehub by pressing a pin into the recess button on the rear for about 20 seconds. This can often sort out configuration problems with the hub.

Ideapad K1 Wireless Disconnects

I have experienced frequent wireless disconnects with my new K1. I have several other wireless devices and none experience these inconsistencies. The wireless signal may suddenly disconnect and then reconnect several times while the K1 is stationary. Moving the tablet closer to the router helps but even 2 feet away, the signal is not 100%. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Check the wifi settings, you can turn off the wifi sleep option.

Using a WRT54G as a wireless access point with a WRT610N gateway router

I have just replaced my WRT54G gateway router with a WRT610N and everything is fine. However, I want to know if it is possible for me to use the old WRT54G as an access point/wireless bridge on a different floor to the gateway.. that is I want the WRT54G to connect wirelessly as a router to the WRT610N gateway router (not cabling them on the LAN ports) and then I want to use its LAN ports on the WRT54G for local cabled devices rather than use it as a wireless extender. I have read various post but most seem to suggest cabling between the routers.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

With Linksys firmware: no. Not possible. A Linksys wireless router won't operate as bridge. It won't connect wireless to other devices. You have to run a cable
With 3rd party firmware like dd-wrt or tomato: you can configure the router as wireless bridge or repeater. Please check the documentation of the 3rd party firmware to find out if your router model and version is compatible. Please remember, that a bridge or repeater with the WRT54G will slow down your whole wireless network.
