WRT54G2 v1 - Random internet drops, only power-cycling helps

Hi, all
After 1 month I am still unable to solve my problem at all.
I have WRT54G2 v1, connected to my ISP with Static IP connection type, cloned MAC address. 4-5 times a day I get random internet connection drops and the router goes to some kind of "dead" state - no wired/wireless Internet, no access to the router's setup pages (neither locally, not remotedly).
The only solution is to unplug the power cord and replug it again after 10 secs. It's not in my ISP settings, because direct PC<-> Internet connection is OK.
I've managed to upgrade the firmware to version 1.00.04, reset the router etc.. As suggested by another user, I lowered MTU size to 1365 but I still get disconnects every day. IT'S REALLY VERY ANNOYING!!! I am not willing to become a babysitter to the router's power cable, so please anybody can help? When I am somewhere outside I cannot revive the router - I've no physical access to it, so my PC connection is dead for the entire day.
In this forum I see very similar problems to mine, but no solution for them. It seems like a general problem for this router model, so one of my questions is "Is LinkSys planning another firmware upgrade to solve this?". Next: is there an official way to submit such problems as a request for new firmware? I am not willing to switch to third-party firmwares like DD-WRT which everybody speaks good words like "no more drops", I have a warranty active.
My observations can give you one hint: I suspect that the router somehow cannot restore its connectivity when the ISP device (switch/modem, I don't know) I am connected to fails or reboots... I havent such problem for 10 days during my vacation and the only difference with my router's settings was that it was set in a LAN environment (thus, no failures from other networked devices). Could this be improved in the router's stability - to make some self-reboot? Or just a simple firmware improvement: add some keep-alive (auto-reboot) setting - some period in seconds for "Static IP" connection type?
Thanks all in advance!
Regards,
Ivaylo

When the router enters such "unavailable" stata, I have no connection neither from a Wired desktop PC, nor from a Wirelessly connected laprop PC. I have no connection from outside (eg. trying to access router's setup page from my work or trying to be port-forwarded to my locally hosted PC site on 80 port). No any access at all!
After the resetting I am NOT restoring settings from a file! I make everything again manually from the setup pages. So I set up "Static IP" connection type, enter my statically assigned IP address, 2 DNS servers, as they're given to me by my ISP. I set MTU to manual 1365 (nothing from the forums helped: 1472, 1500 etc...). The wireless connectivity is WPA2, TKIP+AES, Channel 11 and is ok with the laptop. Everything seems fine.. until after few hours connectivity is lost.
As I've written, unplugging router's power cord and replugging again after 5-10 seconds and ... VOILA... connection is working. Why such reboot fixes the things? My suspicions are that the router cannot compensate after some reboot of some ISP's device I am connected to - why didn't I have such problems when during my vacation I've just changed "Static IP" settings to point to a local IP addresses in the building I've been? This is the only difference - connected in a LAN is OK, because no malfunction/reboot takes place, connected to a remote device which is randomly (or perhaps intentionally, who knows) rebooted from the ISP side is not OK.
Any bug in the firmware? Some situation not captured programmatically?
Thanks for the help!

Help! Fast Internet only for short while after power cycling of AEBS

The Charter Communication tech came out to check why we weren't getting the advertised 20meg speed. Well, the speed out of the modem is ~19meg and if I plug in the laptop directly to the brand new Airport Extreme router (firmware 7.4.1), we do get the fastest speed.
I ditched the setup I had with dual band separate networks, since we don't actually transfer files between computers much. I just want fast Internet for downloads/uploads.
I have the network setup on auto bands and auto channels (and I have tried setting the channels manually). We don't have many neighbors so there isn't a lot of interference that I can tell.
If I unplug the router and plug it back in--then the wireless network speed is fast ~19 megs. However, after less than 30 min. the network bogs down and becomes 5-7megs. Then if I power cycle, it goes right back up to 19megs.
Why????

Hello,
There have been issues with Roboform in the past: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_crashes#Roboform

Internet drops at random intervals, applications freeze. Lots of info!

Ok, so my laptop has been on its last legs for a while now, always something. Recently, the fan stopped working so I have to diligently make sure it doesn't overheat. I was playing an online video game 2 days ago when it overheated and crashed
(forced shut off to de-powered state to prevent damage, not a bluescreen). When I brought it back up, I started having some really bad problems. The game I was playing wouldn't start citing "Memory at address 063eaff0 could not be written"
After deleting the whole game and restarting the computer I got it re-installed, it works fine now, that's resolved, I guess.
I think this crash broke something though, because now my internet keeps cutting out at random intervals, and Chrome keeps freezing. The Chrome freezes actually almost always predict an internet drop.
So I booted into HP's system diagnostics and ran a memory test, it says I passed. Ran a full scan, hard disk passed, processor passed, WLAN passed, PCI Devices pass, battery pass, . Basically everything is passing but I can't actually complete a full
scan because it takes 2 hours and apparently is really using my system to its max ability, which is making it critically overheat and shut off.
So I booted into a recovery CD to see if maybe a system file was corrupted during a power loss crash, but apparently I am mis-remembering how recovery CD's work and my only options are to restore to factory default or restore to an earlier point, not to just
re-install all the necessary system files.
Next step was wait for one of the outages and run windows network "Troubleshoot Problems" tool, it did it's thing and actually, miraculously, gave me some sort of real problem other than "Check that you're connected to the internet".
What it told me was: "Your computer is trying to use a DNS server that is incorrect or doesn't exist."
My Chrome no connection error code is "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET"
Please don't read this last line and tell me to change my DNS server with no further explanation.
There are other computers in the house, and they are connected to the same wifi, and are having zero problems. Also DNS issues do not explain my chrome actually freezing.
Also, we're using google's DNS servers.

Hi AmantisAsoko,
Is the machine a laptop or a desktop?
For the overheat issue ,we may need to clear the dust of the machine to make the fan work correctly .If it is a laptop ,we may need to add an external fan to freeze the machine .
For the network issue ,have you configured any proxy server ?Have you configured the Tcp/Ip address manually ?
We can take the following step to have a troubleshoot .
1.Search "services.msc" and ensure "‘DHCP Client’ and ‘DNS Client’" are running .
2.Open a command line as an administrator and run "ipconfig /registerdns"
3.Run the following command line to reset the Tcp/Ip stack.
ipconfig /flushdns (Clear the dns cache)
nbtstat -RR (release and refesh NetBIOS names)
netsh int ip reset (reset ip settings)
netsh winsock reset (Reset Winsock Catalog)
Reboot
4.We can run "nslookup"to check the present dns information
For more information ,here is a link for reference :
Using NSlookup.exe
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/200525
"Also DNS issues do not explain my chrome actually freezing"
To verify whether the issue is caused by the specific brwoser ,we can try to use the other browser like Internet Explorer to have a check.

DVR Box 7216 power cycling repeatedly

My DVR is self-power cycling at random. This is extremely frustrating, obviously! Verizon live chat said it fixed it by resetting the box from their office and then, when that didn't work, told me to replace the HDML cord, which I did and also didn't work.
I talked to a live agent two days ago (who was rude to me) who told me that many people are having this issue and it is a software glitch. Apparently Verizon has no idea when this is going to be fixed. The agent's advice - just wait, nothing to be done about it. Meanwhile I'm paying for this????
I looked on here/the Internet to see if it's true that "many people" are having this issue and don't find too many people talking about it.
If anyone else has had this issue and has any information, please please.... share.
Thanks!

I've been having the same problem with the same model, the issue has been occuring since the day they installed the DVR, it will do it at random.
It also drops off the network, for days at a time. This last time after one of the 'updates' to the system while I was overseas.
I went through resetting the modem, all the boxes, it didn't work. The self diagnostics keeps saying that the coax cable is bad, but it has said that about every single coax cable, before and after having them replaced. Now it doesn't take no sherlock holmes to point the finger at the set top box as part of a single process of elimination. Even your website happily sees the other two set top boxes but the DVR just does not want to talk to it either.
I even tried connecting it to the connection in the other rooms and it still shows as having a bad cable?
Just to be on the safe side, in case something happened to one of the coax cables I had someone replace them. Still nothing.
It's bad enough that every so often the noise it makes from it's hard drive is so loud that it can be heard in other rooms in the house, a clicking or ticking noise.
As for anything around the DVR, I have kept 6 inches all around it, the only the underside which I cannot do anything about without bringing in Kris Angel Mind Freak to levitate the DVR.
When I had Directv I never had any problems with the boxes, never had problems with not being able to access them from the Internet yet in the 2 years that I have had FIOS I have had issues continually with this feature. For someone that is on the go and relies on the DVR to let them catch the shows they want and edit recording lists to save them having to wade through a massive swathe of recordings to pick out those that the really wanted more than others and do it from other locations.
I can tell you it was frustrating to suddenly lose that functionality while I was away and to still be without that functionality more than 21 days.
I have been told before that it is normal for the boxes to restart themself after an update, but there can't be that many updates and as customers we should not be expected to deal with sub-par equipment when we are paying a premium for services from Verizon!

Random Intenet Drops for a Few Seconds

Hi all, my first post on here. I was hoping to get this issue fixed with a tech visit, but of course, that didn't happen. I started my 105 mbps internet service about a month ago. I am using the Technicolor Xfinity modem that is currently being rented out. My desktop is connected via ethernet to the router, and I also have a smartphone, laptop, and Chromecast that connect to the wifi. I live in an apartment complex north of Seattle. Early on, I noticed a few drops in the connection, and I didn't think much of it. Random drops that sometimes happen. It got rather annoying when playing video games, but I lived with it. 2 weeks later, I still get them, and I started to use some uptime monitoring software to get a feel for the length of the downtimes and when they happen. I couldn't notice a pattern about when, but the length is almost always a few seconds. When I'm on my desktop, the ethernet connection has the red x indicating it has lost connection and then almost immediately it reconnects. I just started a new job and didn't want to pursue the problem too much. I talked to Comcast tech support via chat. They basically refresh the signal, call it "good", and move on. My disconnects are random, but one time, I did receive disconnects while talking to the agent, who didn't really care and said to reset and power cycle the modem. Last week, I get fed up with the disconnects. They are short, but bad for gaming. I got a tech to come over yesterday. He replaced my cable wall outlet. I have a cable hookup in my bedroom (desktop and modem are there) and in the living room (not used). The tech checked the signal levels and claimed the signal was "low" but still "within reasonable levels" with "medium spikes." Replacing the cable wall outlet didn't do the trick, so he thought there was a splitter in my apartment. He checked the living room cable outlet and didn't notice anything odd. He then decided to check the box for my apartment building. Claimed everything looked fine. Both of my cable outlets are dedicated lines to the box outside. He brought back some small connectors which he tested to see if they improved or cleaned up the signal, none worked. He told me there was nothing he could do and claimed that the apartment wiring was probably the problem. He also suggested I move my modem to the living room (really don't want to do this with my desktop in the bedroom, but I may test this out over the weekend). He reset my modem just because he could, and left. Regarding the modem, the tech said I had "one of the good ones" and didn't think it was the problem. While I do appreciate the tech supposedly eliminating some variables, I still have the same problem and basically, it was a waste of my time. What should I do next? I wanted to see if the users here could help me out or provide some other things to check to perhaps narrow down the problem. I feel like the modem could have been replaced to make sure it wasn't the problem. I have not checked my cable signal strength and have little experience with that.

As a general rule, it is fine to restart the router at any time. Best not to do anything with the modem unless absolutely necessary. Very occasional fiddling (nobody knows exactly what 'very occasional' means) won't harm, but more frequent changes such as power cycling can cause your speed to drop; the drop may last for a few weeks.

Airport Extreme - Slow until power cycle every few hours (wired, not modem)

I have the latest Airport Extreme Base Station (no time capsule) connected to a Motorola Surfboard 6121 modem.
When wired directly to the AEBS I get download speeds of 90Mbps+, but after a few hours (I haven't determined if it is consistent) the dowloand speed drops to about 1-4Mbps. Power cycling the cable modem brings back the original speeds.
Please Note: When wired directly to the cable modem the speed of 90Mbps+ are consistent over several days (I haven't tested longer).
The drop in speed only happens when connecting through the AEBS, no matter if I'm connected wirelessly or directly.
My next test will be to see whether powercycling only the AEBS resets the speed the way powercylcing the modem does.
Any thoughts? I would rather not have to restart my connection everytime I go to use it.
Thanks!

The issue happens when I have the following setup:
MacbookPro (mid-2008) wired directly into:
AEBS (brand new, no time capsule) wired directly into:
Motorola Surfboard 6121
or
Samsung BD-5900 Blu-Ray Player (2013) wired directly into:
AEBS (brand new, no time capsule) wired directly into:
Motorola Surfboard 6121
or
MacbookPro (mid-2008) and two iPhone 5 devices all wirelessly connected to
AEBS (brand new, no time capsule) wired directly into:
Motorola Surfboard 6121

Frequent internet drops (T4 modem reboots, upstream issues)

We've been with Comast for about a year and a half -- from day one we've had lots of problems staying connected to the internet. We've tried a number of solutions to no avail. (replacing router, removing splitter, removing unnecessary cable splices, etc.) After posting logs on some other forums, it seems we are experiencing some sort of upstream connectivity issue. Today the internet dropped about 10x in a span of 2-3 hours -- I looked at the modem status during this time and EVERY time the problem was the same -- T3 and T4 modem reboot errors and an inability to connect to upstream channels 46 and 47. It was these same two upstream channels EVERY time, which seemed odd. Here are a few snapshots of the logs and whatnot: Modem error log:http://tinypic.com/r/2ytxso5/8 Upstream channels 46 & 47 during T4 drops:http://tinypic.com/r/2d829f9/8 Overall modem signals (when modem is successfully connected):http://tinypic.com/r/2efsup5/8 From what I can tell, the signal strength is excellent. I'm guessing Comcast's first suggestion will be to "replace the modem." Keep in mind this has happened from day one when our modem was brand new -- as such, I really think there is something wrong with the actual physical line or something. From a frequency standpoint, this happens daily anywhere from every 10 minutes to every few hours (making things like online gaming literally impossible to do). At this point I think the only course of action is to have a tech come out and investigate this in-person. If anyone has any other suggestions let me know.

We had the same problem, up until about two weeks ago. Our internet would keep dropping and the modem would re-cycle. I do web design and run an eBay store, so this was incredibly frustrating. It started only happening a few times here and there, but eventually it got to where it was down/re-cycling more often than not...at least it seemed to be. Comcast was good about sending a tech out right away to see what the problem was. It was obvious it wasn't something that could be diagnosed and fixed over the phone support line. The technician came out and identified the same problem you are describing. Upstream connectivity issues. I don't remember all of the explanation, but we were unable to maintain a constant upstream connection. After a few minutes of checking out our wiring, he discovered the problem. During one of the last visits from a Comcast technician (we've had several problems over the years) they installed an 8-port splitter block to handle all of the cable outlets in our house. This was our problem. The 8-way splitter caused the upstream signal to degrade and be unable to maintain the connection. He took out the splitter block and replaced it with some sort of powered splitter (it looked expensive, but they didn't charge us for it). This took care of the problem immediately and we haven't had any problems for the last couple of weeks. Our speeds also increased dramatically. If you have any splitters (especially more than say three or four ports) this could be your problem. 8-way's are definite no-nos. At any rate, I would definitely have them come out and check out your problem. It is more than likely a wiring issue. I know how frustrating it is to experience the issues you are having. The technician used his phone to somehow track down the problem. The guy was really knowledgeable and explained things to me really well...I'm just too old to remember everything he said. He was in and out in all of fifteen minutes. At the end of everything, there was no charge for anything and our service has been wonderful ever since.

Time Capsule stops transmitting wireless signal-power cycle required to fix

My 1 TB Time Capsule will work as a wireless access point for hours.. like 7 or 8 hours and then just
stop transmitting. It just doesn't show up as an available access point. If I power cycle (unplug/plug) it, then it starts working again. This seems to happen whether time machine is enabled or not.
Anyone else seeing this type of behavior?

My 500GB Time Capsule showed up on Friday of last week to replace a Linksys WRT54G router. I've been using the same MacBook since May of 2006 and the last several months, I've been having frequent connection issues running 10.4.11. I could only connect in the same room as the router. If I went on the other side of my small house, I'd lose the signal. Also on the old network was a Dell 300m, circa 2003 that runs 802.11B, a Nintendo Wii, and two Nintendo DS handhelds.
I configured the new Time Capsule as a closed network with WPA/WPA 2 encryption and interference robustness . So far I've only setup my MacBook, the wife's Dell, and the Wii. It was working great for the first few days. Tonight, my wife was using her Dell on the couch and I was working on the Mac in the dining room a few feet away. It seems that mixed mode traffic destroys the signal/noise ratio. We were both having issues with dropped connections. I rebooted the router from Air Port utility and it never came back. I checked it in my office and the light was solid green. So I unplugged it for a few seconds to cycle the power and the signal came back, but by this time my wife shut her computer down. At the time of peak interference which degraded the signal, the logs showed the Wii had the strongest signal and both laptops had next to none.
I should also note that the last couple of weeks have been really bad with just my MacBook running 10.4.11 on the network. I decided to do a fresh install of 10.5.4 after I setup the Time Capsule on Friday and my problems seemed to vanish. But it appears there are some major interference issues with my wife's Dell with Centrino and the MacBook.
But to more clearly answer your question, yes, my Time Capsule behaved exactly as you've described this evening.

Homehub 3 - wifi dropping only when PC on

Over the past week when my PC is on (connected to HH3 via Ethernet cable), the devices in the house which connect via wifi (an ipad an 2 iphones) seem to keep dropping wifi connectivety.
When the PC is off though , the devices keep hold of the wifi connection and work fine.
Internet speed on PC is fine, and wifi on iOs devices is fine too (when they can connect).
It is odd as we have had the Hub over 3 years, and nothing has changed
Any ideas - maybe a power cycle or reset, or maybe a new Hub?

This sounds like the DHCP bug in the HH3

WRT310N version 1: Port 4 light is on but nothing is connected after power cycle

I have the WRT310N version 1 with the latest firmware date Dec 2009. Everything is working great except when I turn off the router and power back up. I am only using port 1 but after a power cycle both port 1 and port 4 lights are on and I can't connect to the Internet. If I keep unplugging the router (2 to 5 times) with 30 secs between I can eventually get just the port 1 light and then everything is good to go until the next power cycle. I don't need or want to keep my router on 24/7 so any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hello.
Try to hard reset the router by pushing the button for 30 secs then power cycle it again.
What if you plug the computer to the other ports? Do you experience the same problem? Have you tried a different cable to connect the computer?
Not sure if reflashing the firmware could help on this one but you could also give that a try. click here
Make sure you know the hardware version of your router before reflashing the firmware. It is found underneath the router itself.

Razr keeps power cycling

My Razr suddenly starting power cycling yesterday. It was close to a full battery and I set it down for about an hour. When I picked it back up, it was completely unresponsive - the battery had died. I plugged it in to recharge and when it finally got up enough charge to power back on, I got the Select Dock Type message (supposedly connected to HDMI even though it wasn't.) After a few minutes, it started the power cycling and hasn't stopped. I did a factory reset, hoping that would work, but I get the "please wait, this may take a few minutes" screen then it restarts again.
It seems like a hardware issue but I'm concerned about sending it back and getting a new phone because I dropped it a while back and there's a ding on the corner near the headphone jack. I don't want to be on the hook for the full retail price of this phone if they decide that ding caused the problem (even though it worked fine after I dropped it and this power cycling/hdmi problem happened out of the blue.) Is there anything else I can do to fix it?

Well then the Only solution i would have.. Holly would be shut your Maxx down Pull the Sim Card leave it out for 2 min then Re-install it. Was the phone bought an card installed at the Store Holly if so the Rep doing the Install might have touched the Sim Card the Gold area of them is really sensitive to Static Electricity & the Oils in our fingers an if touched they can Fail or Cause issues in your phone.. To Understand this a little better it's like taking a Magnet an Going over a Credit card you do it once or Twice over the Strip it can Render the Card Useless. So you might try getting a New Card an see if that Works But Remember Watch how you hold the Sim Card.. Good Luck b33

VDSL modem in sync, HH3 and HH2v2 power cycles int...

Dear All, Firstly this is my first post on the forums so hello to all. On to my topic, A friend of mine has a very very interesting FTTC fault. The VDSL modem is in sync, but the HH3 from 3 blue lights, will suddenly shut off and restart. This happens any ware between every 10-45 mins. Here is the fun bit: Engineers have replaced the modem and the HH3 3 times. They have even tried a HH2 infinity router which lasted longer than the 3 but to no avail. The modem and Router are both plugged into a surge protector. They have both been tried on regular sockets. The VDSL modem is always happy, in sync but the routers are being power cycled. There is no line issues, no CRCs as the engineers have said. The speeds to the VDSL modem are all fine, and the speed of the BB is working fine, its just the random power cycling of the routers that has everyone stumped. Yes its been turned off and on Yes its all plugged in Yes all cables have been tried and tested One Ethernet device, other wireless laptops There is no trigger, weather simple MSN text or HD streaming there seems to be no trigger as such for the router So tech guys, i would not bother you with a simple one, here is the mystery, whats the theory's?

After a worrying start very nice replies thanks guys! so firstly
@ HH replacements he had one, BT sent him one and the engineer used one. I know for a fact these are all from different batches.
@ channel changing Not only would the amount of random channels the smart wireless would have been using with the ammount of swaps, the engineer set the wireless channel whilst doing interrogations on the router.
@ electircal supply Here was the ebst bit, the engineer knows about REIN (f Repetitive Electrical Impulse Noise). In the room with the router there are LOTS of powerboards and power adaptors link multiple supplys. There are pets, a pc, standard sky tv boxs and relavant go withs. SO yeah lots of stuff. The uncle is a sparky, checked the house and said all good. We have a UPS (i think thats what it is called) which can deliver a constant voltage no matter what, even from that it was going fine then boom power cycle.
Feed back from 12 hour obs: The HH2 apparently has made it much more berable, taking around an hour or more till it resets. Engineer came round and did a lift and shift to get a new port from the dslam. At that point the engineer had been told he had to leave, but he justified it. There was nothing else that they can do, port, line, socket, HH modem have all been eliminated from the enquiery.
At this point the router had been moved by the enginner to the best poisbble location in the lounge for it to not be near a source of potential REIN. Then he told us that he wanted to find out what the problem was because it was a "mystery" and he was interested. He told about REIN and how to test for it (AKA long time of having not a lot plugged in and before anyone got mad (and lets be real this guy was not just going to come over and say "sorry man we don't know how to fix this" ) he also advised us to talk to our Service provide (aka BTR ) and to tell them what the issues are. So what do people think of this ?

Power cycling the cable modem speeds up my email. Why?

For several days my email coming into my inbox was very slow, about several minutes to bring in about ten messages without any large attachments. Also opening up the email messages was very slow with the dreaded beach ball spinning. Then when I power cycled my Motorola Surfboard SB5100 modem to try to alleviate slow line speeds, the email problem went away! email came in fast and opened up quickly. Why would getting a new dynamic IP address help dramatically with email retrieval? (There was no effect on speeding up the line connection.)
Thanks.
Raymon

Update on my question:
1. Power cycling the modem to speed up email worked only once and I've not been able to reproduce it. Instead what seems to work well (so far) is "Compacting Folders". I'm using the Netscape 7.2 email client. When I called Netscape tech support, they agreed on Compacting Folders but cautioned that this may corrupt some email files. So far I've not seen any such corruption, but then I've not systematically checked all the email I have in folders.
2. Since my initial posting about two weeks ago, I've discovered that the "low connection speeds in the afternoon and lasting until about midnight" was apparently entirely due to my not clearing my Netscape browser cache often enough. Now when ever I see a drop in connection speed I simply trash the browser cache and the line speed immediately clocks back up to normal! And so, no sign of nodal oversubscription what so ever.

How often do you power cycle your Apple TV?

Due to random rare issues like not responding, not connecting, etc.
Thank you in advance.

Restart would be nice if the remote controls were responding. I don't see how a restore would fix it since it was only used to stream YouTube videos. Nothing else. Also, it is only a couple months old that is used almost daily. I did notice after the physical power cycle, the main menu didn't respond for about 5/five seconds, and then everything was back to normal.

MiFi 5510L Problem Local Internet Access only

Set up the new jetpack 5510L model and when trying to connect to the internet I get Local access only - will not get me online. Any ideas?

First line of defense is the various resets:Level 1 - Power Cycle the device
Level 2 - Remove the SIM card while powered off
Level 3 - Restore the defaults from the button under the back cover
Give each of these a try and check your internet each time. If the problem is temporary then this should clear it up for you. Let us know if you need more help from here and we can try some other troubleshooting steps. We'd have to know what OS your connecting device is running to provide you with specific steps.
