WRT54G2 disconnects me wirelessly every 5 to 8 minutes

Guys I need your help, I usually get disconnected wirelessly every 5 to 8 minutes. To gain connection I have to unplug the power adapter (linksysWRT54G2 router) then plug it in again. Is there any other way that will let me stay connected?

I am also having a similar problem. I have the WRT54G2 v1, firmware version is v1.0.01, I have applied no upgrades to this device, yet.
I have one machine wired, the rest are wireless. All frequently drop the connection. They all also seem to take a long time to connect initally.
This is the second device with the new style that I tried, the first was having the same issues out of the box, but so much worse that I could not use it at all.
I am curious as to how widespeard this issue may be, since I have seen it twice in as many devices, and am obviously not the only person with the problem.
I continue to look for a firmware upgrade to the device, have not seen it yet but may have missed it while looking on the web site.
Thanks in advance for any help with this.

URGENT: WLAN disconnecting every 10-15 minutes on windows 7 laptop

hi there
i have 2 laptops, one runs xp home and other one runs win 7 ultimate, both machines have pretty much the same stuff on.
the difference is that with the XP one wireless works great with the web authentication and never disconnects, with the win 7 machine instead, it disconnects me every 10-20 minutes or so, i came up with a trick that is to keep a streaming radio on the background, that way sometimes im connected also for 2-3-4 hours but looks like it times out again after an XX amount of time.
so should i change the MTU value on the win 7 machine? that seems to be the workaround it by reading here and there....happens the very same with either firefox 3.6 and internet explorer 8.
on the win 7 machine i installed TCP-Z driver...... > TCP-Z, Best TCP/IP Patch from http://deepxw.blogspot.com/ i tried to disable it and run some tests, but nothing changes.
help much apperciated, please answer here or to my mail gabrio81ATgmail.com
thanks

Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

Time Capsule disk disconnect and reconnect every 5 minutes

This problem began with Airport Firmware 7.6, and has continued to perist with every subsequent firmware version. Reverting to firmware version 7.5.2 eliminates the problem. Running with the latest firmware version 7.6.3, on OS X 10.8.2, the Time Capsule disk is disconnected and reconnected every 5 minutes, and this is seen in the console log:

Has anyone found a solution to this, other than reverting to Airport Firmware 7.5.2?

Welcome to the club.. there is a very long thread.. here.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3526741?tstart=0
There seems to be any number of factors.. where the solutions are little silly things..
Start from the end of the thread and work backwards as this has been ongoing for a long time.. and experience has improved.
What you are seeing btw is the change apple made in Lion and 7.6 to higher security version of AFP.. but it is a mess IMHO.. and has not worked at all well.

WRT54GS wireless connection becomes unreachable every 3-6 minutes

I just got signed up with COMCAST (TV, Internet, and VOIP). The Linksys WRT54GS is connected to the COMCAST Internet-VOIP box. Everything is working fine except the wireless. I bought the Linksys WRT54GS and when I run "ping 192.168.1.1 -t" from my latop via the wireless the connection becomes unreachable every 3-6 minutes. When I "refresh the list" from the laptop the connection is working. The wireless is using WEP security, the strength during the test is 3-4 bars. The problem has been seen in the same room (7 ft away) with 5 bars. I've not yet contacted COMCAST because at this time my thoughts are that I've misconfigured the Linksys. Allen

Allen:
If you purchased the router elsewhere, save the call to Comcast. They won't help you.
Try changing to different channels in the router. There may be interference in your area that causes the drop. I would point out that a dropped ping occasionally is normal, although when it negatively impacts your ability to stay connected, you'll want to find the issue.
The default channel on the router is 11 I think. Try going through all the channels from 1 on up and running each one for a period of time. Your wireless card doesn't need any changes made; it should reset itself to the new channel within a few seconds.

My IMAC has been disconnecting from the internet every 15-17 minutes

Skype disconnects my Wifi every time I use video.

Skype disconnects my Wifi every time I use video. About a minute or so after using video as opposed to just voice my Internet connection fails. Little red X telling my home network dosen't exist. I have to use the diagnose problems feature to get it back and sometimes that dosent even work. Shutting down my wifi card is a pretty extreme glitch. I have no other connection issues, have 30+mbps and run a pretty standard setup: Firefox windows 7 etc. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

Skype doesn't attack Internet connections. It doesn't do anything abnormal that your computer/network shouldn't be able to handle. If you Internet connection is failing the issue lies either in your router, your line, or locally on your computer due to lack of resources/power when using simultaneous devices in your computer (audio, video, wireless card all being USB based). If it's only related to the wireless card then it's going to be a USB resource (USB bandwidth/power) or driver issue. Distance is also a consideration if it can't sustain a connection so you can always try to move closer to your wireless router to see if it makes any difference.
You need to isolate the issue to one of the things I mentioned above. Try wired instead of wireless, try to bypass the router, or disable uPnP in Skype or your router as it may have issues with it.

Every 10-15 minutes Firefox 3.6 cannot load pages (from bookmarks or links) and must be re-started

Every 10-15 minutes I find that clicking a link in a webpage or selecting a bookmark will elicit the white error page message that the target page could not be loaded; usually (but not always) I will be told that my internet connection "does not seem to be working". Other programs accessing the internet are not affected. The problem usually solves itself if I close FF, wait 2 minutes, and start it again, which is not really practical. The problem occurs both on a home network (wireless) and an office network (ethernet). FF3.6 has been problematic since I updated to it (esp.: slow to open); I have tried un-installing and dropping back to 3.5, but FF has twice updated to the most recent version (6.7, then 6.8) without asking whether I wanted this.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated to Firefox 3.6

Just an addition: when the connection drops out, the Windows 'error' sound occurs.

Time Capsule reboots about every 20-30 minutes

Hey all,
I have a Time Capsule (about 6 months old) with a cable modem plugged into it. My wifi is being extended by a brand new Airport extreme. I have 4 computers connecting via wifi to it. About every 20-30 minutes the wifi signal drops from the TC, confirming this with iStumbler, and the TC has to reset. I haven't gotten a back up to complete in quite a few days due to this. Any ideas?
I have unplugging all ethernet devices, hard reseting it to factory defaults, and of course power cycling it.

I would firstly go back to 7.6.1 firmware.. the latest firmware has some horrible bugs .. especially in cases of extend wireless.
To go back you simply hold down the option key whilst selecting version.

Internet turns off every 10-15 minutes

I have just moved into a 3 bedroom flat in the centre of Liverpool.
All 3 of us share a BT Internet connection with a BTHub 2.0
However, every 10-15 minutes we all lose connection and have to reset the router, eventhough the router says everything is working.
I have tried changing the channel of the router to a less busy channel but this doesnt seem to have done anything.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

but are you all connected wireless or wired? if wireless is the router still connected to the internet?
if you have not tried this already you can try downloading inssider3 (istumbler if MAC) and then run it. This will show the broadcasting networks round about you and their channels including your own. If you then enter your router and change your wireless channel to a free or less congested channel.

WRT160Nv3 rebooting every 1-20 minutes

Dear All,
After installation of WRT160Nv3 and firmware upgrade router rebooting every 1-20 minutes.
I did reset using hardware button and reboot from Web interface; returned to factory defaults and back to my settings - problem still the same.
Any suggestions?

Well... thanks. I re-loaded the firmware - nothing changed.
Actualy now I suspect that someone in the provider's network installed (or re-configured) an equipment (computer or router) that works in wrong way - for instance gives IP to WAN.
Unfortunately WRT160N writes log in RAM and all records disappear during rebooting - so I can't trace the cause. But when I disconnect the WAN socket in router it works stable. When it connected to provider - it may work for several hours perfectly, but in rush hours it start rebooting

I have a very big problem with my mac book pro. It continously looses the wifire connection. This happens every 5-10 minutes and is getting to be a very big irritation. I have tested my wifiresignal

I have a very irritating problem with my MacBook Pro. It keeps loosing the wifi connection - every 5-1o minutes!!!
I have testet the wifi signal and had my router checked - both are fine.
Please tell me what I can do :-(
John

First you should check on another Wifi to see if it's your Lion machine.
If it only occurs on your Wifi, then perhaps you have local interference and need to set the router on another channel far from others.
You can install a free program called KisMAC that you set your Driver Preferences to Apple Airport Extreme Passive Mode, enter your Admin password and monitor your local Wifi signals, see if you cna pin point the cause of your interference or meddler.
If your not running WPA2 with AES and a 12 plus random character/letter/number password for both Admin and Internet access use only then you should seriously consider doing so.
