WRT54G2 slows computer receiving wireless signal

Basically, i got a desktop computer connected to the modem n router with a laptop and ps3 receiving the signal. Internet works fine on all 3 seperately but the problem only occurs when the desktop computer is on the internet. When its on, the internet on the laptop works but is very slow and receives constant 'the connection has been reset' errors in the browser and also has trouble signing in to msn. With the ps3, the internet doesn't work at all with the desktop on the internet. Anyone know wuts wrong??

Upgrading the router's firmware might help you...Download the Firmware from here , Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device: -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page.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".
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router and check if your problem is resolved...

Very Slow BB and Wireless Signal Dropping

Hi, I have a HomeHub 2 which has worked reasonably well over the years. Recently my BB speed seems pretty slow and the wireless signal keeps dropping every 5 seconds or so.
We have several laptops in the house (not all online at once) and this problem affects them all. I have installed inSSIDer and it shows 6 other hubs in the vicinity. I have tried changing the Wireless channel, changing from b/g/n to just b/g, reducing the roaming aggresiveness settings but nothing seems to be working. My hub settings are below

inSSIDer shows my SSID as -46 (goes as low as -20 when im next to the hub).
Can anyone make any suggestions as to how i can sort this problem as it's driving me nuts.
Thanks in advance.

Hi the link was produced byanother of thecommunuty members Keith the link has now beennoved to another server as the BT web space in no longer available I will ask him to repost his link to you
You do seem to have a lot of wireless in your area which is making it very difficult to have a completely free channel all you can do is find a channel that has the weakest signals on It and try that hopefully Keith will post the link and maybe some further ideas

Receive wireless signal and pass through via ethernet

Hi,
I'd like to know if it's possible to pass through internet via ethernet from a Time Capsule that receives a Wireless signal.
How can I do this?
Thanks!

Well, to be more specific, this a scheme of what I'm trying to do (it represents the floors in my house):
[URL=http://minus.com/liKoug8pFOaFN][IMG]http://i.minus.com/jiKoug8pFOaFN.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
So;
- Telenet modem wired to D-link wireless router.
- D-link router to AE (wireless)
- AE to stereo (wired)
- D-link router to TC (wireless)
- TC to PC (wired)
- TC to printer (USB)
- D-link to tv (wired)
- D-link to Digibox (digital television - wired)
I want to be able to stream music from every device on the netwerk (iPad, iPhone, MBP, ..)
and print from every device. All music should be streamed from iTunes Library on TC.
I hope this is clear
Thanks in advance!

IPhone not receiving wireless signal

It keeps on saying Searching. I am on Verizon and within area with service. It has not worked since updating to iOS 6.0.2

I know this may seem stupid, but did you try unplugging the router and then plugging it in again? That's always the first line of elimination. If you have, then try replacing the router, there may be something wrong with it. If both the MacBook Pro and the iPhone cannot recognize the wireless signal, there is an issue with the router. Security should have nothing to do with the devices recognizing the signal, just whether you are able to use the network or not. Nothing masks the signal from other wireless devices. (In other words, it will always show up in any WiFi devices "available networks" section.) The only way it would not recognize it is if the Wireless bands don't match. (i.e. Wireless G device with a Wireless N device). However, the majority of the upgrade wireless bands work backwards. I suggest switching the Belkin out for a Linksys, Netgear or AirPort and see what happens. I'm putting my money on the issue being the router.

Can Westell 327W DSL modem/router receive wireless signal?

I have a spare Westell 327W wired/wireless DSL modem/router. I need a wireless access point for a G4 Power Mac away from an Apple Extreme. I knew how to make the Westell 327W in a bridge mode. Is there a way to make 327W communicate wirelessly with a FIOs modem/router?
Thank you very much.
Robert

Hmmm, perhaps something like this with a USB extension cord would be a solution, they have better Range even without an extension than Airport cards ime...

I have an HP2055dn printer that isn't receiving a wireless signal from an Mac Airport router.

I moved the printer and it doesn't receive the wireless signal. Does the printer need to be attached to my computer for it to receive a wireless signal from another computer?

Hi,
Do you use access point (AP) for your network ? The printer needs to be close to the AP, not computer(s). One option is to have a booster/amplifier but this costs money and time.
Regards.

Can I use more than one blue-tooth device at the same time on IPhone 4S? Like a wireless headsets and speed and cadence sensor for cycling computer, receive the data and listen music simultaneously

Can I use more than one blue-tooth device at the same time on IPhone 4S? Like a wireless headsets and speed and cadence sensor for cycling computer, receive the data and listen music simultaneously

As long as the profiles are different (ex. HID vs AD2P) you will not have any issues. But say if you try to use 2 keyboards at once, it won't work. Or 2 headsets at once. Your scenario seems fine.

WRT530N recently started to drop Wireless Signal when wired computer boots

In the last week or so the wirlessly connected computer sees the wireless signal (WMP300N card) drop whenever the wired computer is booted. Looking at the router one can see the wireless light go off briefly. The Wireless computer, XP SP3 is the one effected, so I opened the WIRELESS NETWORKS and I can see it go from CONNECTED to ACQUIRING ADDRESS.
We've got a wireless printer, and HP, and it too seems to be effected, as it rings a chime when it connects.
I've had it drop with all computers off as well, or even all on, too recently.
Is the router 'dying' or do I need to re-flash it (it has the latest), or reset to original defaults?
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Irv S.

You are not understanding. Just because the link is at 270 mbps, does not mean you are actually getting that speed.
The whole 2.4 spectrum is only 60 mhz. 40 mhz uses bonded channels which means it is subject to 2 times the amount of interference as 20 mhz. It is using 2/3 of the 2.4 spectrum. So if there are any other wireless networks around, or wireless devices that use that spectrum you will see a dramatic loss in speed, but not necessarily the link it shows.
While it may show a link of 270 mbps, it may only be using 10mps due to interference.
I do understand that. I've run InSSIDer and checked what is also in the area. I see only 2 other SSID's, and both are very weak. Live in single family homes here. I would think most of my neighbor's are not techies and wouldn't hide the SSID's. Only one of them isn't a default SSID as well.
I've checked the speed between my Gigabit wired and my wife's wireless when copying files via Windows explorer. Moving at the rate of about 20 - 25MBps, here machine is only 10 feet from the router. Lowest speed is about 12MBps at times. Depends on the drive on here machine, RAID 0, standard or external. Could be the disk speed that is the limit here, not the connection.
Checking the iPad, it showed 20Mbps with and without the 40Mhz channel, that had no effect on it?
My other router, the ASUS RT-N56U is due back from Repair today. I'll be putting that back and we'll see if that fixes this problem? If it does, I'm going to RESET this LinkSys and put it back and see what happens. I'll try relashing it too if necessary.
Thanks,

How can another computer connect to my wireless signal?

I have a great wireless signal running through my time machine, but my friends who visit cannot get into it. They are running off the neighbor's wireless signal which is not as strong. I have set internet sharing to ON but it is not offering WiFi as an option. I have a feeling it is time machine settings somehow but don't know how. Any suggestions?

Assuming your friend is using a Mac.
Go to Apple Menu / System Preferences / Network.
Select Airport on the left, and click on the Network Name that is displayed (which will probably be your neighbour's network).
Select: Join Other Network.
Click on Show Networks.
Select the network you want to join.
Enter the password
Click on Apply.
You only need to do this once. The next time your friend visits, the Mac will remember the network and the password.

Can I boost the wireless signal?

Our wireles signal on our PowerBook g4 is always much lower than other devices in the same room. Does anyone know if there is a way to boost the wireless signal?
Thanks,
Jenny

Hi Jenny,
Normally you can only adjust the signal strength of the broadcasting unit (router), not the receiver (computer). The PowerBook antenna is in the screen frame--about all you can do is rotate the computer to see if it can better pick up the signal.
If the wireless icon shows fewer bars but everything still works, I would not be too concerned. When we upgraded our cable service, the ISP gave us a modem that includes wireless and I noticed our geriatric PowerBook G4 1Ghz showing fewer bars than with the older wireless router we used. However, once it connects, it runs as fast as before.
Remember that no PowerBook G4 has wireless faster than "g" where newer devices may have the faster 'N' protocol. If you are finding the old PBG4 slower than the newer devices, that's a hardware limitation, not signal strength.
If you have more specific issues, please by all means post them and we can see if there is something else afoot.

Wireless Signal Flashing On/Off

Hi, the wireless signal on my MacBook keeps "blinking" on and off and I am unable to connect to the wireless provider i normally use. What could be causing this? It is strange because my other computer is connected fine. This has happened before and it eventually just stops and the wireless signal remains full. But I'm curious why this would be happening... anyone know?

Airport card (802.22b) not receiving wifi signal(?)

The subject line pretty much says it all. I am currently receiving the internet via an ethernet cable since it seems that my old eMac is unable to receive wifi signals from anywhere, even from my own modem which is roughly three feet from my computer. I have tried reconnecting the antenna wire to my Airport card and reseating it in the computer without success. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance to all who answer!

I checked System Profiler and this is what I got:
Wireless Card Type: Airport
Wireless Card Locale: USA
Wireless Card Firmware Version: 9.52
Current Wireless Network: wireless network not available
Note: Airport was turned on at the time I checked System Profiler

Suddenly low wireless signal

Yesterday, I added an additional 512 mb of ram to my iBook, making it a total of 768 mb of ram. My computer recognized it, and I was able to surf the internet for several hours immediately after. Last night, however, when I went on the computer again, my wireless signal was extremely low, and it kept disappearing. I'm wondering if I did something wrong when I replaced the Airport Extreme card after installing the new memory, or perhaps that the memory is screwing things up.
I have already checked the position of the card and the antennae, and the only thing I notice now is that a portion of the 'insertable' part of the Airport card is visible, but I didn't notice before I began tinkering to know now if that is normal or not.
We have not touched the router, which is one that we received from Verizon. I don't know off hand the make and model, but it has been great up until now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much,
Cat

Its been a few weeks since I posted this question, and the problem is just getting worse. I took my ibook to school with me, and received a near full signal, making me think that the problem lies in our wireless network, not the laptop. But it has gotten worse, most times I am lucky if I get 2 'bars' of signal strength. My husband just bought a brand new laptop yesterday, and he is receiving a beautifully strong signal everywhere in our home. I think the only reason I got such a strong signal at school is because the strength of their signal is incredibly powerful all over the campus.
I took another look at the airport card and I think I have dicovered the problem. The antenna, which is actually just a wire coated in plastic or rubber, seems to be wearing away at the connector. It actually feels like it could just rip apart with a slight tug. Has anyone had this happen before? Now the problem is this: is it worth fixing? Obviously, fixing a problem like this isn't something I could do myself. I might try a little electrical tape to secure it, but I worry that some of the wires have actually ripped, and no amount of tape will reattach them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much,
Cat

How can I listen to my iTunes music on my IPAD without a wireless signal?

I have an ipad, version 4.2.1. Why can't I listen to the itunes songs I put into the ipad when I don't have a wireless signal? I can't advance past the "itunes store" screen. I synced it to my iMac, running 10.6.5. All the songs are there. I do not have wireless at home, nor do I plan on getting it. Is there a way to listen to my itunes music in Airplane mode? Also, at my job at a middle school, the ipad is much worse at finding our wireless signal than our Macbooks are. Any ideas?

iTunes application on your computer does everything.
It's for the iTunes store as well as playing songs, movies, aduiobooks, etc.
iTunes app on the iPad is for the iTunes store only.
iPod app on the iPad is for playing songs and audiobooks.
Video app on the iPad is for Movies, TV Shows, music videos.

Mac and windows sharing a wireless signal ??

I am in the process of choosing a new system - leaning towards the new imac with the Intel chip. I am also buying my daughter a laptop for college next year, but she won't touch a mac, it must be windows (yes, she is in need of more education). Anyway I am going to move from dial up to DSL and wireless. My main question concerns compatibility - I haven't bought either system, but want to make sure that both systems can share/receive the signal. More important than what works best, is what doesn't work.
Any help would be appreciated. I may not be able to get back to the board for a couple days though. Thanks.
still choosing new system(s)

A Windows laptop with an 802.11g adapter will work fine on an Airport network.
A Mac with an Airport Extreme card will work fine on an 802.11g network.
Airport Extreme is Apple's name for 802.11g
