WRT54GL: when I disable wireless, I lost my connections

Hi,
I use WRT54GL and often I disable wireless connection (when I don't use notebook) (in basic wireless mode, I set disable). In that moment, my desktop's connection are losts and resume after some moments.
It's normal?
Thanks in advance

Not with Linksys firmware. With 3rd party firmware there is the option where you can enable/disable wireless by pressing the Cisco button on the front.

Disable Wireless on Wired LAN Connection

Hi,
Right Now, my macbook pro use my ethernet and my wifi at the same time and i don't want that. Is there a way to say to my macbook pro to stay only with my ethernet connection when my cable is plug in it and no wifi come by? (I travel a lot with my mac and i cannot just do Turn Off / ON Wifi each time i plug ny cable in my mac)
Thanks in advance

The issue with what everyone suggests is that your computer STILL obtains 2 IP addresses. If you have 4 laptops in the family thats 8 IP's.. if you're in a workplace of 30 people thats 60 IP's for 30 systems.. doesn't matter if they are being 'used' or not. it's a huge waste of network resource.
Thats a HORRIBLE way to manage your resources. Plus, it wastes battery maintaining a connection it doesn't use.. Thats just silly! Apple truly does need to address this.. Even Dell laptops disable wireless connectivity (turns wifi on for GPS as needed, but keeps from connecting) while wired is connected.

VB Script to Disable Wireless LAN on Wired connection detection

We have few E6400, E4300, E6410 and E4310 in our environment which do not support
Disabled upon Wired Connect option. Is there a script which can disable the Wi Fi as soon as these machines are connected to LAN wired connection and enable the Wi Fi when Wired connection is not available. Please help it is very urgent.
If any script is available can it be run as a Windows service as we can't run it via GPO Start up script? Please help.

We have these same systems, so I also need a solution for this. I only have an E6420 available to me right now, and this model supports the "Disabled upon Wired Connect".
I believe that the best way to tackle this would be to look for the event(s) for the wired connection connecting and disconnecting. Looking at the event log on my system, I determined that the disconnecting event is Event Code 27, and the connecting event(s)
are 33 and 34.
With that information, I can setup a loop that waits and will only trigger on these events. Depending on the event ID, I then find the wireless network adapter and either enable or disable it accordingly.
The script below will need to be started during Windows startup or through a scheduled task to trigger at user logon or system startup. This is untested on the machines you have listed, I may be able to test this when I am back in the office next week.
The advantage of this script is that it is using event notifications as opposed to continuous loops (which are processor intensive). This script will simply sit idle in the background until the events are triggered, at which time the wireless adapter is
either enabled or disabled. The script will then wait for one of the events to occur again, and so on...
Please let me know how this works for you, like I said, I need this also and the more people testing it the better the solution will be.

Windows 7 and XP Disable wireless when connected to hot wired

Hello there,
We are facing IP address shortage due to redundant network connections from laptops because every laptop uses two IP address when connected to wireless network and hard wire. Does Windows 7 and XP natively has the options to disable wireless when a laptop
is connected to hard wired? I know the wireless can easily disabled by manual process but problem is user don't have the knowledge or don't bother to do that. So if there is a way to use GPO to configure this would be ideal -- no 3rd party solution please.
Any suggestion is most welcomed.
Thanks,
TL

There are no Fail proof ways for Win 7 or 8 to make sure that AT ALL times Wire is used over WIFI. The metric setting is ignored by MS. I know cause my metric for the wired is 10 and for the WiFi is 9999, but at all times the WiFi is used instead of the
Wired. This is by design as Microsoft being as inept as always did not properly design their operating system. This is a DESIGN DEFECT, which Microsoft will not admit to, despite the fact that it could be caused by no other method EXCEPT incompetent design,
ignored during quality assurance testing etc. The reason there are a million people looking for a fix for this design flaw is that there is NO fix available. MS will not fix it as they got your money and could care less. Being that they are among the most
evil and greedy companies currently in business is why it will never be fixed. I dare them to prove me wrong and fix the obvious design defect. I double dare all who read this to log in to the MS tech net and demand that they fix this DESIGN DEFECT.
Any developer qualified to design an OS should have no problem permanently fixing this and Microsoft has NO EXCUSE for not doing so with an update!!!!!! All they have to do in the code logic is ask the system if the device getting an IP etc is using a "radio"
then it asks all the other devices that are getting or have gotten an IP if it was gotten via a radio, If during any of these quires the answer is I DID NOT get my IP from a radio connection then that IP path gets priority and all the others, IE WiFi gets
disabled. Then if there is a change in the network, loss of connectivity for example, the process is repeated and when everything say's it got its IP from a radio then the WiFi takes over. So in a nut shell every connection is looked at to see if it is from
a radio based device or a hardwired based device, NOT using metrics since that apparently can not be counted on, the prof is in the 500+ PCs I just setup, ALL OF WHICH GIVE A SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER METRIC TO THE WIRED, but still choose the WIFi. The order of
the connection establishment should not matter since the test is performed on every connection and as soon as one is found that is not radio based, it is left on and all others are turned off. Common sense really. This is NOT ROCKET science! Just good common
sense programing.
So I challenge everyone who reads this comment to add a demand for MS to fix the DESIGN DEFECT once and for all.
That's all I have to say. If there is a script as some of the suggestions here mention that can do it, if there is a single 3rd party product out there that can do it, then there is NO EXCUSE for MS not to provide a PERMANENT OFFICIAL MICROSOFT CERTIFIED
FREE fix for this DEFECT. And yes it can only be classified as a DESIGN DEFECT as common sense say's you would AT NO time under normal operations EVER want the MUCH slower WiFi, 100 mbps compared to 1000 mbps for wired to be in charge. EVER! Even if
the wired nic is only 100 mbps, some cheep junk laptops have the indecency to come with a 100 mbps nic instead of a Gigabit, the Wired is still better 99.99999% of the time.
And one last thing this IS THE ONLY REAL ACCEPTABLE ANSWER to the original question, and all the others just like it who EXPECT, with GOOD REASON, that COMMON SENSE, would be in charge NOT ignorance and defective designs, and that AT ALL TIME WIRED RULES
OVER WIFI.
Hope this helps, it is time to insist that MS do their job AND FIX THE DESIGN DEFECT!!!!!!!!!
Ralph
PS Not all systems have switches on the outside for disabling the WiFi. My HPs don't and trying to train all the users on how to MANUALLY disable it and when to do so etc is like trying heard flock of sparrows, it's not happening, NOR SHOULD IT NEED TO!

Lost Mode - useless when Location disabled, even online ?

   Hi,
   My iPhone was stolen by a (not so close) friend !
   I went last week to a party. Only close and casual friends. At some point we talked and compared some apps between our
phones, I locked/unlocked mine several times, in front of the others, they did the same. However, after some time, everyone of us has been engaged in other activities
   At some point I received a call on my other iPhone, and I went outside to be able to understand each other, because it was a pretty loud party ;-)
   Anyway, I left my primary iPhone (for business) on the table.
   When I came back, surprise, my iPhone was missing. Naturally, I suspected a joke or a prank for one of my closest friends. To not embarrass myself, I just tried to use Find my iPhone and see the state of the missing device.
It was Offline, probably the thief turned it off. I think it was one of us which, when playing around with apps, he saw my LockScreen code when I tapped it to unlock the phone.
I left the party. after a while, I tried again Find my iPhone.
Surprise again ! The iPhone was Online but Location Services Off. I tried to put it in Lost mode, but without phone number and
message, just to locate, not to alarm the thief. Result was the same, "Online. Location Services Off "
After one day, no matter how many times I tried, the thief (probably knowing that I have unlimited plan) continued to use my phone and it appears the same, "Online. No Location Available" (on iCloud, on Web Browser window) and "Online. Location Services Off" on Find my iPhone app , on my other iPhone.
My business phone was iPhone 4S, with iOS 6.1.6 (last iOS 6 update). I didn't upgraded iOS on this one because I needed a quicker response when I receive important calls or updates, mail documents etc. And, indeed , it worked like a charm !
So not being able to locate and get back my iPhone, I was forced to erase it (at least I hope it was erased OK). As a result, I couldn't locate it anymore.
Thanks God I had nothing compromising, or business sensitive on that phone! I changed, anyway, all my mail passwords, deleted from iCloud all my reminders and notes etc. Good Bye, good old iPhone !
   I have to mention again, I have unlimited plan, voice and data traffic, so I was not afraid of higher payments, but I thought I should go to the telephone company and request a detailed list of calls after I lost it, maybe I could find a clue, with police help, of course. But I initially thought and trust it would be a breeze to find my iPhone with iCloud, Find my iPhone, Data Roaming, unlimited data traffic if, eventually, it would be lost.
   And I'm absolutely sure I have all of these services active, all my iDevices have the same security settings.
   But, to be absolutely sure, I tried the same thing on my other (personal, non business) phone. iPhone 4S, iOS 8.1.1, this time.
   So I double-checked all security settings I could and deactivated only Location Services, from Privacy.
   Results were absolutely identical ! Even in Lost Mode, my only left iPhone was impossible to be found via iCloud (Web Browser) or from my iPad, no matter how many times and what I tried, after switching off Location Services (again, GSM/3G/Cellular/EU Internet - active - unlimited data plan), Data Roaming On, WIFI On, only Location Services disabled from Privacy settings.
( My only big mistake, I think, was to reveal and use my Lockscreen code in front of my friends. But I thought we are all friends, why wouldn't ?)
I tried even to put my iPhone outside to have a clear view to satellites for GPS. No change !
And a major issue (or forgotten maybe, extremely simple feature) is still to not being able to change Lock screen
code/Password, once it was set already no matter what iOS is installed (6-7-8...)
So, the big Question remains the same. What is the (REAL) utility of Find my iPhone app/Service, when, just switching
off Location Services, even Lost Mode can't remotely enable it ? Contrary to what Apple claims.
What should I do in the future to avoid a similar situation ? What I missed/messed ?
Please help me to understand, anyone who can help me and really knows what he/she's talking about. I'm sick of suppositions, and neverending questions/ideas off topic.
Thank you !
Below are some pictures taken during testing Lost Mode on my only (now) iPhone:
Started "Find my iPhone" on Web Browser, I switched off Location Services on my iPhone :
Until now, everything's OK, as expected.
As advertised, Lost Mode rest assures us that will enable (temporary) Location Services, until unlocking:
To be sure it's a working data link, I tested "Play Sound", worked OK, then entered a number and message for testing purpose
Starting/activating Lost Mode...
Lost Mode activated with success, Location Services not. Still, my iPhone locked and displays 1234 call
and the message "This iPhone has been lost. Please call me".
I even put my iPhone outside, under clear sky, for 15 minutes, still nothing new on iCloud.
Of course, after unlocking my phone (Lost mode deactivated automatically), but still nothing (normal, in this case, without Lost Mode) and turning back ON Location Services, my iPhone was magically found . I even received a notice on mail, claiming my iPhone was found near my actual position
Here are my screenshots with my iPhone with all data services on, being locked on purpose.
So, what's wrong with Lost Mode, why it doesn't do what it should ? What I'm doing wrong ??
Please help me understand. Thank you !
P.S. I found yesterday that my phone was bought by someone identified by the police. They asked me what I want to do. I asked buyer's name, it's nobody I know, I let him in peace, no further complains. I moved on...     but disappointed by claimed features in iPhone (regardless iOS 6-8) which are not working at all
(at least for me)...
P.P.S I had to remove some pictures (warned when trying to post - to many images)

It shouldn't work like that.
Apple says contrary, even when you press Lost Mode, the following message appears :
"Lost mode enables Location Services. Find my iPhone and other apps will be able tu use the location of this iPhone until it's unlocked".
Pretty clear to me and tested but No Location detected by Find my iPhone/iCloud. At the other hand, if you looked at the pictures I posted, you'll see on my testing iPhone the little arrow which indicates the Location Services were started in Lost Mode. Just not detected in iCloud/Find my iPhone/Lost Mode. So, useless or not functioning properly (at all, in fact). Why ?
And, from the Apple support page (the link is below)
"If your device is online when you put it in Lost Mode or lock it, it locks and tracking begins (if applicable). If Location Services is turned off on the device, it’s temporarily turned on to track your device’s location."
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
And they claims the same for ALL iOS last versions since iOS 6 (since they introduced Lost Mode)
And yes, my phone which I still have, and the lost one, were both Online, so it could transmit location data, during Lost Mode, just it doesn't happens.

Automatically disable wireless when connected to lan

automatically disable wireless when connected to lan

Hi,
Thanks for the answer. I'm trying to deploy the profile that I've created on all my laptops. But i'm facing an issue for a while.
When the profile is deployed on a laptop, Access Connections finds a new ethernet port and asks to assign it a profile. But the problem is that Access Connection don't allow me to assign it to my wired profile, only to my wireless profile and that doesn't make sens to me. Besides, it is written in the dialogue box that ethernet profiles are disable for the match of the new port...
Is there any way to assign the new port to the new profile without human interaction or just how to make the wired profile available when access connection is launched and find a new ethernet connection
Thanks in advance!

Error message as above and below:
'Send Message Error
The message could not be sent because connecting to SMTP server mail.btinternet.com failed.

BT won't deal with this - they redirect me to a 'partner' who want to charge to discuss the problem. Nice, eh!

Apple Wireless Keyboard lost connection when "command+space" is pressed

Hi, my apple wireless keyboard lost connection when command and space key was pressed. it does not lost connection when other keys combination was pressed. Are there any people has the same problem with me?
I am using Emacs all the time, the command and space key is the default short cut for Mark in Emacs. It is constantly used in my daily work. The wireless keyboard does not lost connection always, but it does lost connection sometimes. I have observed every time it lost connection, the command + space was pressed. Really strange. Any advice?
I am using Macbook Pro 13inch Late 2012, OSX 10.9.1, and Apple Wireless Keyboard

Got the keyboard working again, here how incase it can help anyone else:
I borrowed a USB keyboard to allow me to get past the pasword login.
First I rang disk utitlity to repair any permissions. I opended up the app 'Bluetooth Setup Assistant' selected 'Keyboard' then I turned the keyboard 'on' so the green light is flashing' and then hit continue. At this point the keyboard appears in the listing of found items, hitting continue I am then given a unique pairing code. Enter this on the keyboard and hit 'Return' after a few seconds, the pairing is complete and by wireless keyboard is back and working again!

Disabling Wireless NIC when Wired NIC is being used ?

Hi all,
I understand that Cisco Secure services client has this feature.
However I need competitor info about this ?
I know that Juniper Odyssey also does this.. but howabout Checkpoint or Websense Endpoint Clients ? Anyone has any document or info ?
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately we don't use any third party supplicants except Intel PROSet.
Someone had mentioned this can be done via PROSet...I upgraded my version to the latest (12.4) but didn't see that option anywhere.
Could someone please confirm it's indeed available within Intel PROSet, and if so, how do I enable the feature that can disable wireless when docked or connected via wired?

My ipod is disabled and it says to connect it to itunes but, the computer with itunes got reset and lost everything and when i DL itunes again it wont coneect because it say i need to put the passcode in so it can connect but it wont let me putthe passcod

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

WAG160N with WRT54GL in Client Mode Wireless disconnections

I have a problem with my WAG160N ADSL router. I installed DD-WRT on a Linksys WRT54GL router and run this router in client bridge mode. It connects with my WAG160N router using Wireless.
My configuration is as follow:
Firmware Version: 1.09
Basic Wireless Settings:
Network Mode: Mixed
Radio Band: Wide - 40MHz Channel
Wide Channel: 5
Standard Channe: 3
Wireless Security:
Security Mode: WPA-Personal
Encryption: TKIP or AES
Key Renewal 3600 seconds
no MAC filtering
Advanced Wireless Settings:
Authentication Type: Shared Key
All others default.
The WRT54GL is configured to only use AES encryption. In the beginning I had more dropouts of my wireless connection. The WRT54GL still displays it's connected, but I can't ping my WAG160N anymore. After I disabled QOS, the connection is retained much longer (for about 1 day). If the connection is dropped, it has no use to reboot the WRT54GL, the connection will still not be available. I have to reboot the WAG160N to reconnect again. I made a ping script that does a ping from my computer to the WRT54GL every second, and gives a message when connection is dropped. My computer is connected with my WAG160N router using a wire. I can see that the connection is really stable, with no dropouts at all. But at a certain time, there's no connection anymore.
If I view to log file of the WAG160N there's something that I notice, but I don't know how to solve it.
After I just restarted my router I get the following messages:

Above messages, I got originally when I still had my WRT54GL on TKIP, instead of AES, but I read that AES is preferred, because it's more reliable and quicker. After I configured the WRT54GL to only use AES I got the most above messages, but after a few hours the other messages (IEEE 802.1..) I have the feeling (haven't got hard proof yet) that at a certain point the port isn't authorised anymore (by using TKIP), but I'm wondering how that can be. I'm also wondering why all of a sudden the key renewal is in such a short time period. (Little bit more then 7 mins), while normally the renewal occurs every hour. I hope someone can help me using above description

WIRELESS MUSIC LOST CONNECT

Newbie Question.
I lost my connection after restarting my computer. I reinstalled the USB cable with no luck. I have 2 solid green lights on the wireless receiver. Tool bar shows media server connected at92.68.0.3. Netgear wireless router. Dial up modem. No other devices on the network. Windows ME. Also, now when I try to acess the CDDB the program says that there is another process of the music information provider running at the same time.
Thank you in advance for any help in this matter. Al

From what you've said it sounds like there's a connection. If you click the Media Server icon in the system tray and select Launch Console, does it show Recei'ver not detected or does it show your receiver name in the bar just below Add Tracks icon? If it shows your receiver, can you play music from the Console? If not try power cycling the receiver and remote.
Don't know about ME, but with XP Pro after SP2 and a couple of patches my music quit playing even though everything still showed as connected. I could even browse the music library from the remote. I had to disable the Windows firewall. I now use the McAfee firewall and it all works fine.

Airport Utility Disables Wireless Connection - No Connectivity Error

In setting up an AX to stream iTunes to my stereo over my existing wireless network (Netgear access point), it appears that the Airport Utility has somehow disabled wireless access for my laptop, as I now get a "limited or no connectivity" error message and cannot connect to the internet.
Airport Utility detected the AX, I set a password for it, directed it to join my wireless network, selected WPA2 encryption and entered the 26-character key to the network. AU then said the AX couldn't join the network, and wireless connectivity for the whole PC disappeared and I haven't been able to get it back.
It appears that Airport Utility somehow altered some of the network settings on my PC but I can't figure out what. I spent hours trying to figure this out last night and am at a loss. Help!

Welcome to the discussion area, mrdowntown!
When you are setting up the AirPort Express, you are using a default network provided by the Express with a name like +Apple Network xxxxxx+. You need to be on this network to be able to configure the device. Your computer was on this network.
Chances are, your PC may still be trying to access that network, and not the network that you normally use. See if that might be the case.
WPA2 Security would be used on the AirPort Express if that is exactly the setting the Netgear router is using. If the Netgear is using WPA type encryption, try the WPA/WPA Personal setting on the AirPort Express.
Unless the security settings match up exactly, the Express will not be able to join the Netgear wireless network correctly. See if you can find the settings page for the Netgear to see exactly what type of security it is using.
You'll need to "hard reset" the Express by holding in the reset button until you see the amber light begin to flash more quickly. Then try to reconfigure the Express. Unfortunately, if you don't have the right settings entered on the Express, you'll have to start all over again.

How to disable wireless on wrt54g2?

I have a Linksys router model wrt54g2 v1. My operating system is Windows XP Pro. The router works fine. When I ran setup the first time, I opted to enable wireless (Wi-Fi). However, the computers using the router are all cable-connected to the router, so I do not need the wireless capability. My question: How do I now disable wireless? Do I need to run the CD “Start Setup” process once again? The control panel does not seem to offer any configuration options. I have posted a screen capture of the control panel at http://64.33.7.192/linksys.gif. (I tried without success to post this question at the support Live Chat.) Thanks for your help.

What browser are you using?
Try Opera or FF? If IE 8, 9, 10 or 11, set compatibility mode and test again.
Disable any security browser Add-ons like No Script and Ad-Block or configure them to allow All Pages when connected to the router.
Clear all browser caches.
Be sure to log into the Admin account on the router.
Try turning off these features in Chrome:
Top right corner, little bars for options > Settings > Settings (on left) > Show advanced settings.
Uncheck these:
Use a web service to help resolve navigation errors
Use a prediction service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar
Predict network actions to improve page load performance

Multiple Speakers goes Wonky when using a wireless bridge

I used to use multiple speakers on iTunes, but lost a lot of connections to the AE due to distance. My WLAN is a D-LINK DI-624.
I put in a DLINK DWL-G710 bridge (it took about 3 hours to get working, not 2 minutes, as they claim).
Now, I can always SEE the AE, and once I have a working connection, it never drops. However, while I can always SEE it, the ability to actually USE it is random. I select the AE it goes into a "connecting to...." mode and then times out.
Sometimes cycling iTunes allows it to connect. Sometimes turning off the Airport card on the laptop.
As a last note, I can't see the AE through Ethernet from my laptop, only when on the wireless. It's no show stopper, as I can run both connections, but it is kind of odd, since it all goes through the DI-624.
Any ideas?

Switched to Airport Extreme as base station, problem solved.
