WRT54G2 V1 - Internet randomly disconnecting

So when am downloading an application or music anything like for example a game patch that is like 100mb big it disconnects of the network, but any other computer on the network which is wireless by the way stays connected and can still download. Why is it that the wired computer to the router always disconnects?
My MTU is set to 1500 and the ISP is cable internet and I used a splitter... one into the modem and the into the TV.
Could there be to much stress on the router?
Firmware - 1.0.04
Any ideas?

Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
On the set-up tab change the MTU Size to 1365 and click Save Settings...
Now observe the connection.

Please help! iMac randomly disconnects from internet. Wi-fi via BT hub. I am baffled by all of the suggestions when I google this problem! Any simple solution? Thanks!

Please Help! My brand new imac randomly disconnects from the internet. We have a BT hub - wi-fi. I have googled this issue and see that it is relatively common and it is incredibly frustrating. sadly, I have been unable to wade through the suggestions others have had as to how to solve the problem as i have no technical knowledge and am basically baffled by the list of suggestions. Please can anyone explain why this happens and what to do? It is fairly simple to reconnect each time but it is driving me mad having to. It generally happens when the computer is asleep but sometimes in the middle of doing something. Thanks!!!!!!

What frequency, security are you running? It would have been helpful if you specified in the first post.
Did you create a new Location in System Preferences->Network pane, Location pull-down. Create a new custom named Location. Then after you create that new Location click on the 'Apply' button to save that new custom named Location. See if that helps.
Lastly a lot of people have reported that WEP in lion is problmatic and it would be better to use WPA2 if you can.

Airport Extreme 802.11g disconnects from the internet randomly. Help =(

O.K.
i have had this airport extreme (old one shaped like a dome) for about 5 years now... its been working fine until about a couple of months ago it has started to randomly disconnect me and my family from the internet. I know its not my modem or my ISP because if i connect my computer to my modem directly i get internet. Im not sure really what to do. Every time it does this, i have to restart my router and it works again. It does this at least once every day. Any idea how to fix this?
By the way: i bought a time capsule a week ago, thinking that it was time for a new router, but instead it was twice as slow and i couldn't even load a page. I've tried restarting it over and over gain and it has yet to have solved the problem. I guess I'm just getting unlucky :/

Define "router" - do you mean it works if you restart your AirPort Extreme or the modem?
Just because your modem works with your computer does not mean it's not buggy when used with an AirPort base station.
The fact that you had issues with a Time Capsule seems to confirm that.

Undocumented 'random disconnection' from manually connected wireless

I have got a USB-N13 wireless-N300 dongle.
According to 'lspci -k' I have the drivers, and I have a wireless interface. So I know that my dongle has drivers but I don't know if they work 100% well.

This is all the information from when I fist see an wireless interface.
All, I can tell is that my wlp5s0u1 doesn't go down, but a few seconds before I plug in my wireless bridge, or enp4s0, my 'Internet stops...' Or I can't search google, and my youtube stops streaming, conky says that about 30bytes get transfered from that point on, and there is no errors?!
I'm not on a laptop, and my device's power saver is set to off. And as I'm not getting the second error I don't know how to fix this.
$ iw dev wlp5s0u1 get power_save
Power save: off
(Sorry if this is blatantly obvious, I've only had arch for under a month, with no prior Linux experience, and my dad can't help me with it too!)
EDIT:
Please can someone please tell me something that I can try or look into to resolve this, I have a useless dongle now, and an Internet connection that drops at least 50% of the packets.

Random Disconnection From My Wireless Access Point

I got my MacBook a few weeks ago, wand I'm loving it... for the most part.
Info: I've been using my Linksys WRT54G router for years. I've never had a problem. I currently have a desktop Mac connected to it along with my MacBook, and the connection on the Mac is fine.
*The problem:* My MacBook doesn't hold a steady connection to my router, even when I'm just mere feet away.
*What happens:* I have a very strong connection on my WiFi with the built-in AirPort. Then, a few seconds later, all of the 4 bars drop to 0 for a few seconds, jump back to 4, go back down to 0... you get the picture. I find this frustrating, as the internet may shut down for a minute at a time, regain connection for a few seconds, and then lose connection after about 10 seconds. I am unable to use iChat (it shuts down whenever I lose connection), or easily browse the internet.
*I know it's not the router. My desktop Mac connects with ease. Should I take my MacBook to a Genius Bar?*

Is it worth 900 dollars for a smartphone that has so many issues ? After 3 updates? After 1 month? I wasted 2 gb of mobile internet cause of ios 8.
And battery is terrible.

same here, iphone 6 plus 64 gb.
additionally in 5 ghz networks the wifi connection is very slow or there is no data transfer possible ( the wifi icon is already there and in a good status) other devices hasn't any problems in that network

Randomly disconnects from network.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

First, open Terminal in your Utilities folder and paste this into the prompt line:

Press RETURN. You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed to the screen. Press RETURN again.
Next, boot the computer into Safe Mode.
Next, do the following:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Random disconnections

Since the beginning of December I have been getting what seem to be random disconnections with my broadband. Pages won't load for 30 seconds or so then it all goes back to normal.
Some times it will happen only a couple of times a day and other times (like tonight) it is every ten minutes. I have a HH3 and modem and all the lights stay on as they should be, just pages wont load, at the bottom of my browser sometimes I get the message "cannot resolve host"
I got on to @btcare via twitter and they have been brilliant, sent me a new HH3 and arranged for an engineer visit who found a line fault, fixed it but half an hour after he went, the disconnections started again.
It affects my PC (wired) 2 laptops and mobile phones (wireless) and also my Youview box (the internet channels will freeze, then come back about 20 seconds later)
I have fitted a new cable from the modem to the phone socket to no avail.
@btcare are phoning me back Saturday to see if the disconnections have stopped.
Most of the time it is just a small irritation and can be lived with, but times like tonight it is a royal pain in the bum!
does anyone here have any ideas as to what could be causing this problem?

Ive been getting random disconnections since infinity was installed. Wife complains, kids complain. Ofcourse since it doesn't usually last long by the time I phone customer services (who are useless) they think there is no problem. Cant wait until my contract is up and I can get back to a proper broadband supplier. No signal even when all three lights are blue on the router.
I would strongly advise anyone contemplating getting bt infinity to reconsider. Worst broadband I have ever had. Great when it works just doesn't work for long enough periods without dropouts. At least 10-20 a day.
What if anything have you tried to remedy this? Are you connecting by wireless or by Ethernet. Do you want suggestions of what to try or are you just wanting to pass on your experience?

Airplay randomly disconnects from airport express

I listen to spotify on my macbook air via the airplay feature and airport express. The airplay feature randomly disconnects and the only way to get it back seems to be to switch the airport express off and then on again. Is there a way to get a bit more reliablity. Sometimes I have to reset it all by unplugging the whole thing from the router and waiting for a few minutes and then starting it all up again. What a performance! I was told to do this on an applecare phone consult. Surely this shouldn't keep happening!?

Hi there:
Here is a solution ONLY IF YOU HAVE THE AIRPORT EXPRESS AS A AIRPLAY SPEAKER! (Join network)
Change in the AE the protocol, intead of DHCP, change it to Static.
If you use the AE only as a speaker, you dont need internet on it. It will appear a warning message about the DNS... ignore it and try it again.
It worked out for me for about a month since I start to having the problem.
NOW, if you use the AE to extend your signal, I don't have any solution for you, but if you use it only to AIRPLAY, this message is for you.
LUCK!!!!!

Anyone else experiencing this? WRT54G version 6 random disconnects

My router randomly disconnects from the internet and only a reboot will get it back. Very bad for gaming. I have updated the firmware, reset, and reboot the router countless times. I have cable internet, so I disconnected the computer from the router and hooked it directly tot he modem.... no disconnects. Any suggestions?
(Edited for guideline compliance. Thanks!)Message Edited by JOHNDOE_06 on 03-05-2007 09:22 PM

I don't suppose a version 6 can be downgraded to a 3 with just a firmware change? Anyway, I too have had many problems of dropping connections and having to reboot my laptop and re-running "Secure Easy Setup". Today I downgraded my security settings from WPA-Personal to WEP 128 bit and so far have had no dropouts. Wonder if anyone else has tried this approach? If so, then Lynksys needs to do some serious re-working of their security software. BTW, I was never able to make WPA-2 ever work...system always reverted to WPA-Personal.

Dial-up randomly disconnects.

I use an IMac G5 & dial-up internet via the built in modem. Ever since I upgraded to OS 10.5 I have had this problem. I can usually count on a random disconnect occurring within the first 15 minutes of going on-line. After reconnecting I can usually go for a longer period.
About a minute before the disconnect, all network activity comes to a halt. After the disconnect I get the alert message: "The modem has unexpectedly hung up. Please verify your settings & try again".
The hardware test didn't uncover anything. I also installed OS 10.4.11 on an external drive & when I boot from it I never have this problem so I believe this to be a software problem with 10.5.
In the earlier revisions of 10.5 I would also frequently get a kernal panic requiring a reboot. I believe this to be a related problem because these only occurred when on-line. With the later revisions, the kernal panics have become less frequent. So far I haven't had a kernal panic with 10.5.6 but the problem of random disconnects remains.
Anyone else had this problem?

Thanks for your suggestions.
I installed 10.5 from the original DVD I received when I purchased leopard on an empty volume on my external drive which I erased just for this purpose. I used just the default installation options. The problem of random disconnects continues. As one of the disconnects was taking place I also got a kernal panic. As I noted in my first post, it is the early versions of 10.5 that are most prone to kernal panics & I suppose if I also upgraded this install to 10.5.6 the kernal panics would go away.
Do you have any other suggestions?

Disconnects on Accessing HH and Random Disconnects...

System is BT HH Ver 2.0 Type B with Firefox v.3.6.13
On a number of occasions I have found random disconnects in the event log and disconnects when I go to access the HH and type in my password, when the BB light goes out and then the yellow comes on and it begins the reconnect sequence.   These are shown in the Log, but it doesn't seem to make any obvious change to the line synch rate.

The events at 20:02 and 22:55 were caused by my accessing the HH and typing in my password.   The others were random disconnects - the HH has not been switched off for some days and the computer was only switched on aorund 15:00 hrs.
The line synch rate at 23:12 is
Downstream   10,134 Kbps
Upstream   1,078 Kbps
The changes to the Noise Margin/Attneuation and Power are very minor fractions of a dB from previous checks. The line is quiet. Distance to the Crowthorne exchnage is ca 966m.
I have even had disconnects using IE 6.0 on Feb 3.
Does anybody else get these effects?   Is it a faulty HH?   Is it some interference on the line?
This looks similar to the problem under "home hub keeps resetting" from "technobaz" today

Further to the saga of disconnects shown by my HH2 Events Log I have had helpful support from Forum
Moderators.   They arranged for OpenReach technician to call again subsequent to the 25 Feb visit on 9
March.    The Moderators could still see my line problems from their site (where ever that is!).   I have had
the HH2 Type B powered on for over two months (to ensure line stability) and the line Down Rate has
gradually reduced
17 Jan 2011    Downstream   11,347 Kbps     Upstream   828 Kbps
       Noise margin (Down/Up)   14.8 dB / 12.6 dB
       Line attenuation (Down/Up)   27.0 dB / 11.9 dB
9 Mar 2011   Downstream   1,151 Kbps    Upstream   1,078 Kbps
        Noise margin (Down/Up)   27.9 dB / 8.0 dB
       Line attenuation (Down/Up)   26.7 dB / 11.8 dB
the ADSL statistics had varied slightly over the period and the Event Log typically showed disconnects with
the text, e.g.
Feb 2 06:13:45 2011   (112240.430000) danube_dsl_ioctl:73: Failed ioctl 270 errno 22

My line still showed the disconnects.    I also tried my neighbour's HH2 Type A for 24 hrs on 7/8 Mar for
comparison. He was getting no disconnects on his line.   The Type A Event Log showed on the 8 Mar my
line disconnects, albeit in a slightly different set of "text language" to the Type B - so it was not a router
problem!

On the 9 Mar visit, OpenReach made a series of comprehensive tests isolating the house/manhole line,
checking equipment in the exchange and green street interface box/exchange line.   My house line (some
10m) was showing good insulation resistance and similarly the box/exchange line a very high insulation
resistance.   The value surprised me, but a Google check shows a value of 10000 Mohms/km may be
typical.
However, somewhere between the green box and my pavement manhole the insulation resistance was low.
I am now awaiting for the bad section to be located and my present twisted pair to exchanged for a good
pair.   I hope after a few days the Line Synch Rate may get back to the original values.

New DSL service and random disconnects

Hello, I just moved into a brand new house and had Verizon DSL installed a few days ago. Everything is brand new in the home, and even the neighborhood itself. I'm experiancing random disconnect from the internet. I have the Verizon DSL 3mps plan and the Westell 7500 wireless router/modem. All the lights on the modem stay green but the internet light will just go out. It won't flash or anything. It just loses it's connection. When I reboot the route/modem it will then reconnect to the internet. Sometimes it can stay connected for 12 hours other times it will disconnect every 15 minutes. The DLS light stays connected however the whole time. I have no phones/faxes/DVR's hooked into my phone jacks. The only device hooked into a phone jack is my modem. I lost the log files of my last disconnect when I rebooted the modem. If you need that I can post it later when it disconnects again. Here are some specs from the router:

Do you have a house alarm? The alarm uses the phone to dial out and needs a special filter installed at the alarm jack. (RJ31X)

My phone will randomly disconnect from the wifi and when I retype the password it says it is wrong. It will eventually work but I have to wait for a message to pop up on my screen to allow me to retype the wifi password.

When I first got my phone it worked perfectly fine with the wifi. Although later on I began to have problems connecting it. It will randomly disconnect from the wifi and when I try to retype the password it tells me it is wrong, although it is right. It will eventually work but in its own time, a message will pop up and allow me to type in the password and it will work. But sometimes it takes an hour or more and sometime it takes 10 minutes. I've seen where other people have had this problem but I don't know how to fix it. I'm not sure if it's an issue with my phone or if it's with my wifi. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Does this happen with all Wi-Fi hotspots? A specific one?
Have you tried forgetting the Wi-Fi connection and then reconnecting to it?
What about power cycling the Wi-Fi router?
