WRT54GL: Losing Internet Connection after shutting down computers

I've got a Linksys wireless router, the WRT54GL.
When we set up the router and connect to the internet everything works fine. But when we shut down our wired computers and restart the laptop, the internet connection is gone, but I keep my local area connection. I already have done a firmware upgrade (v4.30)
Our configuration is as following: A Zyxel Multi-user PC modem, straight cable from normal interface to the WAN interface of the linksys router. Our (2) computers are connected by cable to the router, while we use the laptop for wireless connection.
Any suggestions to fix this problem?
Jeroen

Open routers set up page using http://192.168.1.1 ..... leave username blank & in password use admin ....
Click wireless tab..... use any non-linksys network name (SSID) ..... use channel either 1 or 11 ..... click save settings .....
Click wireless security subtab .... use security level either WEP or WPA ....... have a note of the key ....
On laptop try to connect to network ....... or configure the wireless utility (if you are using WLAN) ..... see if it makes any difference or not ....

  • I lose internet connection after shutting down

    I lose my internet connection whenever I shut down my desktop. I know it's not my modem or router because laptops, iphones and ipods all have a great signal and connection. This only started happening after I downloaded the latest software update 2 weeks ago. I have a Motorola modem and Apple extreme router.

    last two days exactly the same - it states that my network is not available and yet shows it, I then have to re enter the password, also date had reverted back to Jan 1st, however, there was one bonus, scrole on the mouse now works correctly again!

  • A better way? Need to reinstall printer on network after shutting down computers.

    HELP!
    I have a HP 3310 All in one.  It is oh, 4 years old or so and this has bugged me the whole time.
    Basically, whenever I power down any/all of the computers on my network I lose the printer when I power back up.
    My first fix was to just leave everything powered up all the time, worked great until the power went out.  I talked to someone in tech support and they had me uninstall and reinstall everything.  I got it up and running but I definately do not want to do that everytime I want to print something! 
    My second fix was to hook up directly to computer with USB cable, this was my last solution, I could only print off the computer wired to the printer though.  One of the reasons I bought this printer was I wanted to be able to do so across the network, wirelessly or not.
    My network now includes 3 computers and a network backup drive, a laptop (when I use it, is wireless connection) and this printer.  I have a Dlink DGL-4300 router tying everything to my cable modem. 
    My current bout of frustration stems from recently upgrading 2 computers with some new hardware and new OS, I moved to Win7 on the 2 new rigs, and have Vista on my other desktop, the laptop runs XP but is not used very often.  It does login to my network flawlessly each time I turn it on though.
    I am looking for an "easy button" here.  Setting up networks is something I can do, right up until I hit my first problem that a wizard cannot fix.  (which seems to be any problem that pops up)
    My printer shows that it is connected to my home network with excellant signal strength ( it is only about 6 feet from the router)  my desktops are all connected and can see each other, I can share files off the vista computer with one of the win7 computers but not the other ( a different problem for another web forum).
    My printer does not show up in my network neighborhood window and no number of reboots of printers or computers seems to get things reset so that any of the computers will "see" the printer.  Not sure if this is router related or not.  I simply want the printer to reappear in my network when things are turned back on.  The win7 computers said they had successfully installed the printer after I downloaded the latest software from here for win6 64 bit.  I did not in fact print anything at the time because they said the printer was found and installed correctly, now the printer cannot be located any longer.  HP solution center claims the printer is disconnected, but does nothing to assist in re-establishing a connection.  The wizards cannot locate the printer, manually trying to direct the computers to the printer fail.  I have set up a PW protected wireless network to try to limit prying eyes and leaches from accessing my network and I wonder if somehow this is messing me up. 
    I am lost, completely!
    In summery:
    Dlink DGL-4300 router
    Two computers running Win7
    One computer running Vista
    One laptop running XP
    One HP3310 All-in-one printer
    When setting up the win7 systems all defaults were selected, I tried to do nothing funny from stock install.  Somehow, I still ended up with one computer not being able to access files on Vista computer.  None of the computers can see the printer though. (this after powering down all computers and turning them back on when needed, router has not been cycled on and off)
    Thanks, hopefully someone can explain this to me.  I just do not want to have to reinstall the printer after every time I turn a computer off and back on again.

    On many older HP printers the software keeps track of the printer by IP address.  If that IP address changes (due to power outage, the printer re-logging on to the router after being moved, etc), the software can have a difficult time finding the printer.
    How comfortable are you in configuring your router?  First, print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer.  We can go from there.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • Losing internet connection after Flash Player update.

    Recently, I suffered from a Fake Flash Player infection involving the Adobooaan hijacker malware.  I had great difficulty getting rid of it and in the end resorted to using Spyhunter and then hand-deleting the things it came up with.
    [Yes, I know Spyhunter is semi-malware itself, eats cpu space and and keeps popping up every half hour demanding payment, but I have it on a leash.  I used AVG PC Tuner to set Spyhunter so it runs only when specifically told to, and then switches off when I've finished with it.]
    Using Spyhunter in this way got rid of the Fake Flash Player hijacker when MalwareBytes, Spybot and Adware-Removal-Tool had all failed, but one of the side effects was that I had to re-nstall, or at least partially re-install, the real Flash Player.  Now, I keep losing my internet connection, and it appears to be happening when I get a "The Adobe Flash Player Update Service service entered the stopped state." system event.
    The outage affects all browsers, and only access to web pages online.  I can still get emails, and open web-pages which are on my own PC, but I lose access to all online pages.  The only cure for it seems to be to re-boot my router by switching it off for a minute, yet my PC's connection to the router seems to be sound, and my ISP's tech team say the router looks fine from their end.
    Spyhunter is a bit over-enthusiastic - it identified a legitimate TextBridge file as a malware of the same name, e.g., so I'm wondering whether in removing the Fake Flash Player infection I've accidentally deleted some legitimate Adobe Flash Player file or cookie, causing Flash Player to switch off my internet connection at the end of every update check.  But if so, how do I fix it?  Is there some way of getting into Flash Player to set options?  It doiesn't seem to have an icon or to appear in the programs list as something you can get at and twiddle with.

    Yep, I've got the exact same problem. I'm using a PowerMac G4, running 10.4.5 (I think). I can't say the problem started happening, since I just started using the sleep function (computer generates a lot of heat in my apartment in the summertime!).
    But yea, I sleep it using the HW button, and bring it back, and no internet connection. I'm not sure if it's the computer (SW caused) or the ISP (disconnects if the computer doesn't respond to pinging). I am using Comcast cable Internet, which is DHCP me thinks.

  • HT1218 Airport Time Capsule losing internet connection after 3 hours

    I just got a Time Capsule and my internet connection seems to time out after 3 hours or so.  My macbook/iphones/ipad seem to still connect to the internet but there is no internet connection.  The only fix seems to be unplugging the modem every 3 hours.  I think I have the most updated systems on everything.  Does anyone know what I need to do?

    Hi there Tharv23,
    You may want to reset your base station to factory settings as an inital troubleshooting step. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • A7-50 3500-F losing internet connection after 10 minutes.

    Hi everyone, My A7-50 A3500-F seems to be having some problems maintaining internet connection. After around 10 minutes chrome tells me I'm offline, youtube can't load anything and messenger stops working as well. Disconnecting and connecting again fixes the problem but it repeats over and over again. I mostly use it connected to my home wifi, which I know works fine. I tried connecting to other networks and the same thing happens It happens. I tried soft resets, hard resets and restoring it to factory settings but none of that worked. The tablet is running on android 4.4.2. Any ideas on how to fix that? I just got the thing and I don't want to RMA it and lose it for a month.

    End result that should fix it (hopefully) Returned it to Harvey Norman for their tech team to look at it.... Lenovo advised them to hold the tablet for a couple of weeks because they were waiting for the parts needed to repair the problem.... at that point Lenovo hadn't even seen the device and the tech team at Harvey Norman had no idea what the cause was..... 6 weeks later, after being chased by the team at Harvey Norman (who still have my tablet sitting on their work bench) Lenovo says they still don't have the parts and due to the delay will issue a replacement device.... That was three weeks ago.... Still no tablet and no word as to WHEN the replacement will be issued.... Fingers crossed it gets upgraded to a refund so I can buy something that works

  • Retaining internet settings after shut down

    Average pc user but novice mac user seeks help...
    Using airport I can connect to the internet but everytime I shut the Mac down I have to go through the process of reconfiguring a new "location" to get back online.
    Any ideas as to how I get the settings stored properly please?
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    I have regularly experienced similar problems with dial-up, which I frequently use on travel around the US. Virtually all internal modem configuration settings I've entered are dropped from memory within a day. This morning my "Main Number" configuration (I had two different configurations/phone numbers entered just three days ago) shows no Telephone number.
    What goes?

  • Losing internet connection after starting some apps

    Hi all,
    I'm having this problem with my arch linux install (I've been having this since the beginning and have reinstalled arch about 4 times for other reasons). I'm having the problem when using both wicd or netcfg to connect and both with wireless and wired.
    When I'm connected to the internet (and the wireless router) and I start rtcw (return to castle wolfenstein) and go to serverlist it hangs for 30 secs and than says trying to connect to master server. When I go back to the desktop I have no internet at all and can't restart the connection or anything everything just hangs and my wireless card suddenly can't even detect the router (not even when I'm sitting next to it). The same problem happens when I start crossover pro / games. The internet suddenly stops working and by consequence I can't download steam to install, etc.
    Does anyone have the same problem or knows a solution?
    If this problem gets fixed I will donate 10 euro's to the arch linux project because besides this everything works!
    thx in advance,
    Ruben
    Oh and all this software was legally purchased if you were wondering ;-). (student discount woohoo)

    yeah tried that , didn't work. (already tried it before you gave this tip ;-))
    Got some more info: I think it's a firewall/ router issue because when my internet falls out by starting the programs (and checking serverlist with games) then for everyone in the house the internet stops . This must mean that somehow what my apps want to connect to isn't allowed or something and the firewall or router stops the internet. I know it sounds strange but what other explanation is there?
    my setup at home:
    apple airport router +
    apple airtport router with storage (don't know the official name) +
    linksys router (this one is because my linux laptop can't connect to the apple crap even if the apple routers emit on b and g channels)
    A lot of routers I know but my dad set it up.
    Does arch linux (or linux in general bcause had these problems also on other distro's) use other ports for games serverlists and apps (like crossover) connecting to internet than windows? Strangely when I use my desktop (with windows xp installed) booted with slax usb I can connect and play rtcw online no problem so there must be a problem in my setup.
    other ideas?

  • Losing internet connection after sleeping

    I have an iMac - about 2 months old & airport extreme which I purchased at the same time. My provider is Time Warner Cable's Roadrunner service.
    Every time my mac goes to sleep, reconnecting to the internet is murder. The green light remains on, on the AE. If I go to system Preferences > Network it tells me that Airport is connected to the Apple Network etc & that VPN is cnfigured, but not connected.
    I have found a fix, but it's hardly hassle-free - I change the location and apply. That usually works. Next time it happens - and this can be anything from being away over night to 15 mins - I just change to another location & eventually get back on. It's really frustrating.
    When I go to Show > AirPort, my settings are:
    By default join preferred networks
    PPoE isn't checked
    Am I making really basic errors?

    Well that worked for a while & now it's worse than ever. I have to play around with the settings for about 5 mins before it miraculously finds the internet again, but without me having actually changed anything. I just change the location, change it back - repeat a few times - and then it works.
    It's extremely frustrating

  • IMac keeps on loosing internet connection after a few minutes...

    Intel dual core iMac with 10.6.8 OS keeps losing internet connection after a few minutes. Need to put it to sleep and bring it up again. Than it works again...for a few minutes. Other equipment like laptops and iPad using same wifi internet connection and have no connectivity problem at all... What to do?

    Then what I suggest that you do is go to the Finder and select Mac Help in the Help menu. In Mac Help go to Index>C>Connect to the Internet. There you can read all about configuring your Mac, using a modem, etc. After you better understand how all that works then come back with your questions.

  • My iMac keeps on losing internet connection. Webpages get stuck after a minute or so. If I check the internet connection via diagnostics it seems to work just fine. Others, like the iPad use the same wifi connection and never fail. What can I do?

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • In 2 node RAC. After shutting down database not able to connect.

    I have 2 node Oracle 10g RAC (RAC-1 and RAC-2) on Windows 2003 Server.
    After shutting down instance on RAC-2
    I am not able to connect to database from any node.
    I did this on RAC-2 :
    SQL>shutdown immediate;
         Database went down smoothly.
    SQL>conn sys/oracle@rac as sysdba
    ERROR:
    ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currnetly know of services requested in connect descriptor.
    My first node is running fine but I am not able to connect to database from first node or from client.
    Any suggestion???
    Regards:
    Sushil

    One question I want to ask, what should be the Listener Services startup mode in RAC? MANUAL or AUTOMATIC???Ideally, if you are instances and other oracle resources are set to autostart then there is no reason for you to set the listener to MANUAL. You may like to change it to AUTOMATIC so that on reboot it comes up without manual intervention.

    After shutting down the router and connected PC, I can get my iPad to connect to air print to my HP 3050A printer.  Connection is lost after time and I have to start the whole process over again.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

    Thanks for the response Grant.  I had both set to "never" and the power connected.  I did however find while searching the forum page, an answer already given to another enquiry.  The security/general tab.  I had it checked, now unchecked am hoping it will solve my problem.  Thanks again, Cebustu.

  • Losing Desktop Items/Documents after shutting down and restarting

    Twice, over the last couple of months after shutting down and restarting my macbook, everything on my desktop gets deleted, and it seems all the settings go back to their original form?
    Anyone have this problem?

    Hi, I had this problem and it was due to setting file vault in the security settings. I removed having that set and then I had to go into system settings, Account and under Login Items, add back items such as mail and things that required passwords that were not coming up on my dock after each time I shut down.
    I hope this is helpful! Better late than never - if you have fixed yours, maybe this will help someone else.
