WRT54GL - just today it won't keep wired/wireless connections HELP Please

This router is less that a year old and just today it won't keep wired/wireless connections unless I reset the router and sometimes within 5 mins of a reset, it's out again. I can go into the Admin/Status page of the router and DCHP release/renew the IP from Cox and that works the same as a reset of the modem.
Can anyone give me an idea what this could be? Cox looked at the Motorola modem and saw that it was connected for 3 hrs (3 hrs prior I rebooted the modem thinking that was my issue) and they didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
I have the latest firmware installed.

Are you using any peer-to-peer (P2P) software? If so, this is a known cause for router slow downs and disconnections. Go into the P2P software, and reduce the number of connections that the software can make.

I upgraded my iMac to Lion and now it won't keep a wireless connection. Any suggestions on what I can try?

Upgraded my 27" iMac (4 GB memore/3.2 GHz Intel Core i3) to Lion 10.7 and now it won't keep a connection to my wireless. I've had to shift over to working on my MacBook Pro which is also upgraded to Lion but showing no problems whatsoever.
I bought the iMac this summer, refurbished from Apple. I've also never been able to get it to play video ... might or might not be related to the problem here. (yes, I've updated the silverlight)
Any suggestions on what it might be or what I can try?

Have you used Software Update to update to 10.7.1. That update was suppose to fix some WiFi Issues. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4764

HT3887 My iMac won't communicate with my mouse. It keeps saying "wireless connection undiscoverable". This is the first time I have set up my equipment after having a Data Transfer session yesterday. It's a brand new computer. How can I fix this?

How do I get my iMac to communicate with my mouse. It keeps saying "wireless connection not discoverable". Thanks

Hey Jeanette
If you have a USB mouse handy, you can plug it in and use it to navigate to the Bluetooth settings in System Preferences to get the mouse to pair again. There are also troubleshooting steps in the article below for getting the mouse to pair as well.

Thank you for trying to help. I followed your instructions, it took 6 hours to download, and then said it could not solve the problem (something to do with error 9?). It will have to go back to Apple - its only 3 days since it came out of the package and its very disappointing for him. Looks like I have to hang around in the Apple store in Plymouth all tomorrow until they can fix it, or will change it. Thanks for your help.

My ipod does not recognize touch all of a sudden. It is on, but I cannot use it because it won't recognize my touch! Help please!

My ipod does not recognize touch all of a sudden. It is on, but I cannot use it because it won't recognize my touch! Help please!

-You stated: " It is on, but I cannot use it "
Does this mean that the iPod works fine but when you connect the iPod to your computer iTunes does not see - your iPod?
- Have you tried:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
- If you really have OSX 10.6.x (not 10.5.8 as stated) try:
Mac OS X v10.6 or later: iOS device not recognized in iTunes after restart
- Have you tried another cable and USB port?
- If the iPod is not working then there are other things to try.

Macbook keeps dropping wireless connection

Hi
this is my first post so be gentle with me LOL
I have had many issues with BT over the last 8 months, mostly due to the speed I had in my area (was 0.45MB when wired at one point), but I recently started to have an issue with the laptops in the house.
I have 2 teenagers and luckily for them we all have Macbooks as I have given them my old ones when I have upgraded I am using a macbook pro (less than a year old & wireless N) and my eldest boy is using a Macbook (about 6 years old with wireless G) you might see where I'm going here....
the problem is the older macbook keeps losing connection on the wireless, I have called and spoken to the 1st line support guys in India but it's a bit of luck if you can understand them let alone find someone who knows what they are doing. As I work in IT I completely understand and normally ask them to read my notes before advising me especially as I had so many issues last year when I was given a number to get through to the priority care team LOL , so far I have tried the following:
moving the Hub 3 to several locations around the house
reinstalling snow leopard
using a wireless dongle
I live in the middle of nowhere so there are no other houses around which have a hub3 sp none can be affecting me and I've checked this by using programs like inSIDDer.
Finally I thought I'd take it to work to see if I could get the model number of the wireless card and order a new one and guess what it works fine!! So I thought I'd check at a friends and again it works fine for the whole time I'm there.
Brought it home and it won't stay connected GRRRAAA!!!!!!!
I've heard that the hub3 doesn't like having a wireless N & and wireless G laptops on the connecting at the same time is this correct? Has anyone else heard of this?
finnally I do have windows machines in the house and none of them (2 laptops and a desktop which is wired) are having an issue but the Sony TV which is wired directly in to the hub will also drop connection randomly between 8 PM and 10 PM every day so I'm leaning towards the hub being a rubbish router instead of the problem lying with my Macbook

There is some help with wireless connection on this page.

Wrvs4400n keep dropping wireless connection

hi there,
has anyone got problem with wrvs4400n keep dropping the wireless connection? i tried to find out anywhere but not much hints are given how to solve the issue.
i have 1.1.03 firmware installed, and currently running on
b/g/n mixed on channel 9
wpa2 personal mixed security
the rest of the settings on default
i had the router running for about 3 months and most of the time i have to either restart the server to get the wireless working again. normally the wireless works ok until few days when suddenly I just can't access the internet using the wireless.
once i replug my computer using cable, the wireless router suddenly can give me IP address and the wireless return back to normal.
i have tried to use
different channels
changing to G/N, and B/G mode
change key renewal frequency
reduce RTS Threashold
accessing the wireless router from 3 different wireless network card
none of them really works, normally after few days, 1 week top, i suddenly lost wireless connection again. the SSID still there, i can authenticate, somehow the wireless just won't give me IP address
checking the website, it seems like i'm on the latest firmware from linksys and they don't seem updating the firmware anymore, is this product not supported anymore?
anyone knows of the same problem ? or has already solved the issue?

Hey Stewey,
I have a similar problem with my iMac G5. My roommate, who has an HP, bought a Linksys WRT54G when we moved in to our place and it gives me trouble with Airport sometimes. We use G only and WPA Personal. I updated the firmware in February and I swear it got a bit better, but it still goes out sometimes. If I move it just a few inches in any direction, generally it will start working again. Resetting it also helps sometimes. I don't know if its the fact that it doesn't say it's compatible with any Mac on the box, but it's annoying as all ****. My roomie rarely has problems with it (our rooms are the same distance away from the router), but my friend brought his PB over to do some work and he had trouble in my room as well. Is it Linksys, or is it Airport? I have no idea. Our router is out in the living room, next to the TV and Xbox 360, so it might be interference. If possible, try moving the router to higher ground and away from other electronics.
I tried looking up your router online to see if I could find anything else out. Didn't find too much info, but it says that you get free 24 hour tech support. You don't see that too often. If you can't figure it out, give them a call.
Good luck!

Apple shop changed my iphone 3gs today, got home and cannot join my wifi. both my mac and ipad is working on wifi. tried rebooting, resetting still doesnt hold the wifi, it's there for a sec then its not connected.help please?

Hi,
Apple shop exchanged my iphone 3gs today. got home but it doesnt pick up the wifi. first the correct supplier appears then it says not connected.
both my mac and ipad is working on wifi (so did the previous phone) i ve tried rebooting, tried reset supplier...nothing works. can someone help please?
thanks

Yes, they should be able to verify that WiFi is working properly. If I just got a new phone & it didn't work perfectly, right out of the box, before I started restoring or whatever, I'd be right back where I got the phone.

Printer keeps dropping wireless connection after working for a while

My computer stops being able to communicate with the printer wirelessly even thought the printer says it is connected to the network and both the printer and computer are on the same network. What happens is I connect the printer to the network and print something from my computer. Then, after a short while, half an hour maybe, when the printer shows it is connected to the network, I try to print but my computer can't find the printer. The message say the printer cannot be found. If I go to the printer, and reconnect with the wireless connection wizard I can print. But after a short time, I won't be able to print again and have to do the wireless connection wizard again. Wireless direct is off. Don't know if that matters.

These settings are for setting up your wireless printer to stay connected to your router, keep wireless devices better connected and makes your router secure and hack proof.
Set a static IP in the printer (click here) outside the DHCP range of the router (check your manual). This is for Linksys routers but can be used for all routers. Verify your DHCP range and change this first if needed. More Wireless Printing help is here (Windows solution 4, static IP).
Verify in the printer that 'Auto Off/Sleep' is disabled. Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) by going to the printers IP address in your browsers address bar, click Settings Tab/Auto Off. Or use the Printer Assistant, Printer Home Page (EWS). Also check your Printers Properties.
If the printer supports and has IPv6 enabled, turn off IPv6 in the printer.
If needed and you assigned a static IP address, try using 8.8.8.8 for the Preferred DNS server and 8.8.4.4 at the Alternate DNS server.
In the router: (Refer to your router manual for information)
Use a fixed wireless channel like 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto', try channel 1 first then the rest.
Set router to 20Mhz only, or 145Mbps depending on router.
Always use WPA2-AES (Personal) encryption, but you can try ‘mixed’ mode.
Disable WPS and never use it and disable UPnP for the routers security. Nobody can hack your system now and helps with wireless connectivity (if you want to know why, search the web).
If you have a dual band router (2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz bands), make sure the SSID’s are NOT the same, they must be different for all bands, even for any Guest networks.
SSID broadcast must be enabled.
Save all settings. Power off both, wait 2 mins. Power on router wait 2 mins.
Power on printer and verify it reconnects to router.
Windows 7/8/8.1 Is Network Discovery on or off?
Control Panel/Network and Internet/Network and Sharing Center/Advanced sharing settings.
Under Home or Work (current profile) / Network Discovery.
Select "Turn on network discovery" and save changes.

WRT320N & IBM T42 laptop keeps dropping wireless connection at key times

I have an IBM T42 laptop whihc keeps dropping the wireless connection at what seems to be the same time windows each day.
I have my cable modem connected to my WRT320N.
My wireless it set up as follows :
Manual configuration
Wireless Band = 2.4Ghz (Think it needs to be this for the T42 wireless).
Network Mode = Mixed
Channel Width = 20Mhz only
Channel = 2
It seems to be that at approx 8pm each night when using the latop downstairs, the wireless connection will drop and then fail to reconnect for a period of time. I reboot the laptop and it will then begin to work again. The wireless connection does seem to keep trying to connect but it cannot maintain the connection to the router.
Any ideas?

Well I've pretty much given up trying to get this router to work so have spoken to the supplier I bought it off who said it's now discontinued by Linksys - all support is through them now. Took it up with them went through all the steps I've done to try and troubleshoot it (helps to be an IBM engineer as I logically follow procedures through).
I've RMA''d the router and hope it's replacement works better. I've just unbricked my old WRT54GS to make do whilst I wait for a replacement - back down to 100mb traffic - I'll miss my gigabit switch for a while!

WRT54G v.6 loses wired/wireless connection after 2 hours

I have been trying for two weeks to get my router to maintain connection to both my wired and wireless computers. It drops after 2 hours. It says it is connected but I can't get anywhere. I have DSL with a static address. I put the static IP on the router and have the router DHCPing to the others. Have "live chatted" with Lynksys 4 different times with no luck. Based on live-chat advice, I have updated the firmware to 1.01, and changed the MTU from 1500 to various other numbers with no positive results. Both computers drop at the same time. If I take the router out of the loop and plug straight into the DSL modem, it stays up forever. I run XP home on my wired computer and XP Pro on my wireless laptop. I am at my wits end and would appreciate any help that you can offer.

It didn't like that either! I got to thinking about how it said that I was still connected but I couldn't get anywhere so I called my ISP today and had them double check my connection. The technician said that I was having abnormally high errors rates going out of my dsl (new, had it replaced recently) modem. He had me reset the modem, then reset the router, update my DNS numbers.......same thing, about 2 hours later, DROP! I have about decided that it is a problem between my dsl modem and router instead of my router and computers. For one thing, I reset everything during my lunch break. Back at work, right after lunch, I could ping my static IP on my router but, sure enough 2 hours later, I couldn't ping it despite my ISP saying I was connected. That leads me to believe my router doesn't like my modem or vice versa! Any other suggestions?

I have this printer installed over a wireless network. It works great. The only issue I am having is keeping a connection. I have checked to make sure the auto-off feature is not enabled...and it isn't. HP print and scan dr shows it is connected. All other areas is showing it is connected to the network...but the wireless light is still flashing? I have tried changing the wireless ip settings to manual instead of automatic but it hasn't helped at all. when the light starts flashing, the only way I can get it back online is to shut it down the restart it. the last time I shut it down I got an error message on the printer screen - 0X02A6C2ED. I started it back up and it was working fine. I have not had a chance to research this error yet, but will be doing so in a little while.
Does anyone have any ideas what to do to be able to keep a connection? I have tried all the steps listed on the HP support page (unless I overlooked one), but none of them seem to have worked. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi DannyWard
Reset the printer network defaults first. On the printer touch the setup icon, wireless, settings, restore defaults. I would also power reset the router.
I would suggest going through this document for troubleshooting a wireless connection.
