WRT54G VER 6 delayed response when using the web (Old WRT54G VER 2 works fine)

Very strange problem. I have had a 2yr old WRT54G VERSION 2 and it (still) works perfectly except I broke the antenna (I don't even use the wireless side). I just got a new WRT54G VERSION 6 and am having weird problems with it. I have the same problem with THREE DIFFERENT REV 6's (Staples hates me by now) but the old REV 2 always works fine when I swap it back in:
With the REV 6 version when I click on any web link or web site from My Favorites there is like a 5-10 second delay before anything connects. Just dead air for 5-10 seconds with ANY click of the mouse in IE7. When I swap back the old REV 2 version the connection is immediate and fine.  If I do a PING it takes 5-10 seconds for the ping to start then it goes fine with the REV 6 but the REV 2 pings out immediately. Same problem with speed-tests. It takes 5-10 seconds to start but the results are fine on the VERSION 6 but the VERSION 2 is fine. I tried the latest firmware and the settings are the same on both router versions. I find it hard to believe I have 3 bad WRT54G REV6 routers but yet the old VER2 one continues to work fine. Comcast says it isn't their problem (and I agree) yet 3 bad routers seems highly unlikely.
One thing I have noted.  The INTERNET light on the Version 2 WRT54G blinks at a "leisurely" pace, but the INTERNET light on the 3 VERSION 6's all blink at a tremendously fast rate, probably 5x faster then the REV 2. 
For now I'm back to the old Version 2 WRT54G.
Any ideas why 3 Version 6's basically don't work and an old VER2 works absolutely fine (except for the broken antenna).
All routers have most recent firmware updates.

Has to do with the version 6 routers lack of memory, it gets overloaded with packets so it slows down or just stops working.  Usually unplugging and plugging back in temporarily fixes it.  Do a google search for versions 5 and 6 you will see its a common problem.
The reason your version 2 works better is it has twice the memory.  After version 4 they switched from Linux operating system to VXWorks.  Supposedly works better with less required memory.  Can they be more wrong?  LOL
If you want the same performance out of a WRT54G series router look at getting a WRT54GL v1.1.  Made with the same specs as versions 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Just checked my GL, coming up on 50 days online without a reboot.

    I'm trying to read some XML data from temperature logger over my network.  I'm using LabView version 2009 sp1.  I'm using the URL Get Document Vi.  It works fine when using Internet sites like google or foxnews etc...
    When I use it with my temperature logger most of the time I get an Error 66...but some times it does work and actually retrieves the document. 
    I can use the same address "http://172.22.21.68/XMLfeed.rb" (Internet Explorer or Google Chrome) in my browser and get a response every time.  When accessing from my browser the server in the temperature logger does take around 6 seconds to respond, but it does respond every time. 
    Is the URL Get Document Vi exceeding a timeout?  If so, where can I set it to wait longer?

    It looks like the TCP Buffered Read has a 2.5 sec timeout, I believe that is where I had trouble as well.  Try creating your own URL Get HTTP Doc vi in which you call URL Get Document in normal mode, with an appropriate number of characters to fetch (enough characters so that you capture all the important data in the XML file).

    Adobe Captivate 8 is crashing when using the web object, give me a box which says I need to close the program. How can I fix this issue?

    Hi There,
    Can you please confirm your operating system ? Do you have the full administrative rights ? Are you getting any error when trying to insert Web Object interaction ?
    Would like to inform you Captivate 6 onwards interactions have been uploaded on server. Captivate pings this server on a regular basis, If there is any firewall or strict network policy then it might take some time to check the URL or might be result in crash or freeze.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • Slow response when using Xcelsius web service connection witn input values

    We've been very successful in using the Xcelsius Web Service Connection. We've recently moved forward toward using input values when calling a web service and having issues with response time. Without input values, it takes 3 - 6 seconds to retrieve and display the results in Xcelsius, but, when using the input values to the web service, it takes about 27 seconds for Xcelsius to retrieve and display the results.  Does anyone have experience with fixing slow response associated with using input values for a web service connection?

    Hi Sharone,
    What's the version of your Xcelsius and BOBJ server?
    I'm asking because using the last version of BOBJ server (BOXI 3.1 SP 3) you have new services on CMC just to help Xcelsius to work better with WebServices.
    Regards,
    Rodrigo.

  • When using Time Machine in Mac Mail, everything works fine but restored files do not appear in MM - On My Mac, and I cannot find them anywhere.  Thanks

    Time Machine Problem: Mac Mail.  Cannot Find Restored Files in Mac Sidebar where they are supposed to go.
    I am using Mountain Lion on my MacBook.  I have successfully used Time Machine in the past, but I have incurred the following problem that I am requesting help on.
    I am attempting to recover Sent  and Inbox Mac Mail sent.  I go through all the steps properly and locating what I want to recover, and after hitting Restore everything seems to be working and I get a message "Restoring 207 files".  The guides say that then I am supposed to find the files in Mac Mail sidebar under   ON MY MAC.  But they are not there nor anywhere else I have looked.  In other words, everything appears to be working fine except I cannot find the restored files.
    Thank you for you help.
    Jerry

    Although you can restore messages from a Time Machine snapshot within the Mail application, it generally won't work with messages that were saved by an older version of Mail. In that case, you have to use an alternative method.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a folder selected. Inside that folder are subfolders representing your Mail accounts. The names refer to the email addresses you use. Decide which ones you want to restore messages from.
    Enter Time Machine and scroll back to the snapshot you want. Select the account folders you want and then selectRestore ... to... from the action menu (gear icon) in the toolbar of the snapshot window. Restore the folders to the Desktop, not to their original location.
    From the Mail menu bar, select
    File ▹ Import Mailboxes...
    Import from the mailboxes in the folders you restored to the Desktop. The imported messages will appear in a new mailbox. Move the ones you want to keep wherever you like and delete the rest. Then delete the folders on the Desktop.

  • 500 internal server error when using the web interface

    I've created several tables in Visual Studio, and I'm using a .NET backend for my mobile services.
    The table code looks something like this...
    using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Mobile.Service;
    namespace AzureService.DataObjects
    public class Country : EntityData
    public string Name { get; set; }
    I then added a scaffolded item to generate the controller for my table, then published.
    I then went to my azure service, flipthechipservice.azure-mobile.net, and tried to run the default POST with default data.
    I then get back a popup, which looks like the following...
    Now what baffles me is I have already created another table, called 'Call', which has exactly the same 'Name' field as the above Country table, yet the Call POSTs work.
    I then tried creating another table, with a Name field, and I get the 500 error again. 
    How can this be possibly happening? Nothing is different, and now I get 500 errors? 
    This makes no sense.
    Thanks

    Thank you, I looked at the logs, and this is the error...
    System.NotSupportedException: Model compatibility cannot be checked because the database does not contain model metadata. Model compatibility can only be checked for databases created using Code First or Code First Migrations.
     at System.Data.Entity.Internal.ModelCompatibilityChecker.CompatibleWithMode
    I looked this error up, and tried
    this proposed solution on StackOverFlow
    I changed the line of code in my WebApiConfig Register() method from...
    Database.SetInitializer(new MobileServiceInitializer());
    to 
    Database.SetInitializer<MobileServiceContext>(new DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges<MobileServiceContext>());
    I also have this in my WebApiConfig...
    public class MobileServiceInitializer : DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges<MobileServiceContext>
    protected override void Seed(MobileServiceContext context)
    base.Seed(context);
    My understanding is that the database should drop and create if the model changes? So why is this not happening?
    I then tried another solution, and changed DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges to DropCreateDatabaseAlways. I still get an internal error. Then the logs show this problem...
    System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): Cannot open database "master" requested by the login. The login failed.
     Login failed for user 'QEOzFqAnDXLogin_flipthechipservice'.
     This session has been assigned a tracing ID of 'a3b12e78-90f2-4db0-a5ca-6895eebd246c'. Provide this tracing ID to customer support when you need assistance.
     at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError
    As an additional question, how do I re-generate my local SQL database when debugging on my local PC's web browser? I deleted the database, but can't seem to get it back?
    Thanks

  • Applying report filter when using OBIEE web services

    Hi
    Would like to know if it's possible apply report filter when using the web serivce ? Read from Oracle doc that there's this applyReportParams() method in ReportEditingService that could do the job. Can anyone confirm this ?
    Currently we've tried to access the report using the WebCatalogService, read the xml and retrieve the result using the XMLViewService successfully. However there's an additional requirement to pass in the report filter on the fly.
    Thanks in advance
