WRT54GL disconnects frequently, have to reboot every day. Help?!

Hi All,
I'm quite tech savvy having been in IT for over 10 years, but my WRT54GL has always given me some trouble, but since updating to the latest firmware I now have to reboot it daily. I have downloads going overnight and by the time the morning comes, none of the computers can connect wirelessly and even the wired connection can't ping the router, so I unplug it and plug it back in and it works for a while, but by the next morning it all happens again. I set the MTU per the solution/instructions here: http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=4031&lid=
(1300, ISP pinged at 1272 and but nit higher) but it doesn't seem to have helped. Any tips?
Thanks!
B

Check the firmware version from the status page of the router ...if required upgrade download the latest firmware from http://linksys.com/download ... After upgrade reset & reconfigure the router ..

WRT54GL needs to have settings saved every day

I've been running this WRT54GL for a while. I recently upgraded firmware to version 4.30.5. Coincidentally, I also created some internet access restrictions so my kids can't stay up all night playing games. The restrictions work great except that I need to resave them every day. If I don't, the router acts as though there are no access restrictions. So each day I access the router in the morning, check that three access restrictions are enabled, and then click on save settings. As soon as I hit save settings again without changing a thing the restrictions work fine. Is there some setting I'm not seeing that makes these settings last more than one day? I've surfed this site and the web quite a bit and can't find anything about this. Thanks.

As you said, you have to save the settings everyday...this could be probably because the check box " Everyday" is unchecked...Make sure that it is checked as the policy would be applied only if it is checked..

Hi friends i have mac pro . every day start up probelm

hi friends i have mac pro . every day start up probelm how can i solved pls tell me
<Email Edited By Host>

Hello, which exact Mac & OS version is it?
If not 10.7/Lion try this...
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

IMac reboots every day at 5:56 AM

Recently my work hours changed, so I'm now up at 5:30 AM instead of 6:30. Because of this, I was able to observe that my iMac G4 - sound asleep as I recently was at this hour - reboots every day at 5:56 AM precisely. Obviously some timed script is running, but I can't figure out what it is, where it "lives", and how to stop it. I have the Cocktail utility, so I ran the daily "cron" script - but the system did not reboot. The only things connected to the iMac are speakers, a Lacie 250 GB Firewire HD, and a M-Audio Keystation 49e USB keyboard (not powered on). I have no idea how long this has been going on since I've never been up this early until recently. Anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this?

Problem solved - and boy do I feel stoopid!
After checking out all the suggestions offered, I went to visist the iMac in question (located in the "family" room in the basement) at 5:54 AM this morning, coffee in hand. At precisely 5:56 AM (by my watch) the UPS shut down for a moment and then turned back on. The UPS battery is obviously fried, so the UPS shutdown/restart "reboots" the iMac (set to restart after power failure). Since the iMac is in the basement, I must have missed the warning beeps that signal battery failure. So what causes the UPS to restart at 5:56 AM? I had this experience years ago at a firm located in an industrial park - some nearby factory had machinery that started up the same time every day - heavy duty stuff - and it sent a huge "spike" down the line which wrecked havoc with out network backups. I suspect the same thing here - something "heavy duty" goes on-line at 5:56 AM and creates a power "spike" (or whatever) - the UPS senses the "spike" and shuts down to "spare" the devices connected to it, but since it can no longer provide power while it's off, it effectively "reboots" the iMac.
Solution - buy a new UPS!
Thanks to all who chimed in - sorry it wasn't something more exotic!

HT4199 I have a Netgear R6300 wireless router and a Yamaha RX-3020 A/V receiver. An app is available to run on an Ipad. I have to reboot every morning to get it all working. Can I just plug cat6 between them, when I do nothing works, please help

Should I use a network switch and plug my Yamaha A/V receiver and Yamaha DVD into it, then into the wireless router? Then the net into the routers net port???

Airport suddenly needs to be rebooted every day

I have a client with an AirPort Extreme. He has been using it for several
years without a problem. Suddenly EVERY day (definitely when he wakes up in
the morning and sometimes at other points in the day - as far as I can tell
when the computer is idle) the status light blinks yellow.
When this happens he looses the wireless connection. If I plug an ethernet
cable into the AirPort it shows up under the AirPort Admin Utility, but is
unable to read the configuration to determine what the AP is unhappy about.
A simple power cycle fixes the problem.
I first thought it might be a problem with the AP so I replaced it with a
new one (having the latest firmware).
Same problem.
I have since replaced all ethernet cables and the Time Warner Road Runner
cable modem. Same problem.
I even tried a LinkSys router in front of the AP and put the AP in bridge
mode, but no joy.
A few other points:
If I sleep the MacBook I CAN NOT get the problem to happen (I am only
waiting max 10 min)
We "coincidentally" replaced his 3 year old MacBook with a new one (with OS
10.61) a few days before this problem started. I cant see how this could be
the problem as it happens when the computer is sleeping and the fix is to
reboot the AP not the computer, but the timing is awfully suspicious.
I dont know what else to try. Any ideas?
Thanks

If both devices are producing a wireless network, there is an increased chance of wireless interference between them, especiallyi if they are located in the same room. If you normally only one use one wireless network, it would make sense to turn the other one off.

Wrt600n connectivity loss requiring router reboot every day

the fun never stops with this router. i have to say that out of the 5 previous AP's / routers, this one has had more issues than the previous 5 combined.
at any rate, i am now seeing the ap lose all network connectivity every day, or every other day at best. i have to then reboot the thing, and the cycle repeats.
has anyone else seen this behavior, and if so any suggestions on how to fix it?

Have you tried to upgrade the firmware of your Router, If not then you can upgrade the firmware of your Router and i think this might solve the problem.Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop..
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
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".
Now reset your router :
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...

3 different external hard drives keep disconnecting every day -HELP

I have 3 external hard drives on my 2.7GHz Core i5 iMac. It's got 16 gigs of memory. One external drive is in a basic external case and 2 are exposed on my desk using an Adapter Converter Cable. I've never had this kind of problem with these hookups in the past. And it's completely random. They work for a day or 2 at most and then suddenly when I wake the machine 1-2 or all 3 have dropped out and I have to unplug and restart the drive. The internal drive has never done this - it has 2 partitions. It rarely happens WHEN I'm actually using the machine and it's never happened when the computer was reading or writing to the drive and caused any corruption that I know of.
It started when I first hooked them up right after I got the iMac and has been the same every day since. I can't remember if it happened with SnowLeopard or if it started when I installed Lion a day or two after I got the machine. I have not tried booting into Leopard to test that.
2 of the drives came from my old G5 and one is new - all Seagate

Thank you for any help with this,
Jay

Jay,
No where did you mention how the EHD's are connected. Is it USB, Firewire, FW800 and if so are they connected directly to the back of the computer or via a hub. If they're USB are they bus powered or powered with external power? You need to be specific so we can begin helping.
If they're USB drives with external power and are connected directly to the back of the computer then try doing a SMC reset 2-3X.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.

Ae and Id CC14 Tell me I have an update every day

I get a notification at the same time every day for Ae and Id both needing updates and it's been happening for about 3-4 weeks. I highly doubt Adobe is pushing updates every single day to these programs. Also, when I open disk utility the setup.dmg for Ae and Id are both lists as drives on my computer so I ejected them and It didn't do anything.
I'm running a MBP retina with mavericks. Does anyone have any solution or am I looking at a full uninstall and reinstall?
Thanks,
Matt

Hi mcampbell22206,
Solution 1: Kindly check the update within the app.
Launch AE.
Go to Help menu.
Click on Updates.
Solution 2 :
sign out creative cloud.
Quit it, then relaunch.
Solution 3 : re-install creative cloud desktop app.

WRT350N - I have to reset every day

Guys, first of all I´m far from an expert on this...
so let me tell you my problem.. probably will be a pretty simple one for you. I have at home a WRT350N, witch I´m used with my desktop computer using a utp cable and a regular wifi N with my notebook.
The issue is this, every day I go to work, left my desktop computer online using utorrent, and when I come back from the office I see that the utorrent is still downloading.. but if I want to use explorer or firefox I can´t... so, I have to reset the router, wait a minute to get connected again (I have a adsl connection with a modem) and then I can surf on the web.
I think this is strange, since I don´t loose the complete connection but only the webtraffic...
do you have any idea what could be happening? thanks in advance !!!!

Click the Browse button and select the .bin firmware file. Finally, click the Upgrade button and follow the on-screen instructions.Once done reset and re-configure the router.Check if this helps...

Every time mac I stop using my mac unable to connect again to the internet - have to reboot every time

every time I stop using mac and close the lid, when I open it again it will not connect to the Internet... only can get it to work again by rebooting... help!!!

I am having this problem also.
It does not happen if I duplicate, edit, and save. Of course, I don't want to have to duplicate and edit every file. As original poster said, the file is not locked, the get info box says that I do indeed have permission to edit, and the Time Machine lock preference is turned off.
How can this be fixed?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Firewall RV 220W reboots every day

English
Hello, like the tittle says every day at leats once this firewall restarts, and when all the services are up again the router doesn´t give any ip to the lapstops in the lan, so i need to reboot the firewall one more time ( and that takes about two minutes each time) and then it works.
I would like to know why this happing to this device.
Spanish:
Hola, como el titulo dice este firewall se reinicia por lo menos una vez al día, y cuando todos los servicios están arriba nuevamente, el router no da ip a ninguno de los laptops dentro de la red local, así que es necesario reiniciarlo una vez más ( y eso toma alrededor de 2 minutos cada vez)y después de eso funciona.
Me gustaría saber por que sucede eso en este dispositivo.
Saludos

I too had a similar situation with that router doing random reboots. I saved all configuration information, did a hard factory reset, then installed the latest firmware 1.0.5.8 and re-entered all the configuration settings BY HAND. Do not restore the configuration file from the prior setup. (Very important according to Cisco). Be sure to reboot after entering all the configuration settings.
It has operated rock solid after that with no errors logged or unwanted reboots.
Hope this helps.

HH5A Rebooting every day.

Problems with HH5 have been going on too long now. Never had such a bad router (and this is second HH5 I have had). Old Billion router was up for months at a time. HH5 drops and reboots most days when in use, normally when working hard (online gaming via ethernet).

New TC have to reboot every morn to connect to internet

My new TC works fine but every morn have to reboot TC and comcast modem to connect to TC and internet any help would be appreciated. Using TC as router and external HD.

Somewhat the same answer as here.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3669499?tstart=0
Only most people do not lose the internet..
That is a more interesting and major effect..
Try forcing a renewal of the dhcp lease of whatever connection you have ie if wireless click on airport icon .. go to network preferences, advanced, tcp/ip and force a dhcp renewal.
If ethernet do the same thing. try and force the device to get the ip.. if nothing changes and still no internet..
Open a terminal and type ifconfig .. copy and paste here.
Then use ping command to ping the TC. If that works try and ping an internet address first by name then IP. This will show if gateway or dns is failing.

WRT54GL disconnects frequently, have to reboot every day. Help?!
