Wrt54gs loses internet connection when using P2P Ares

I have a wrt54gs v5 and I've installed the latest firmware and reset back to factory then reconfigured. Whenever Ares is started all other computers (wired or wireless) lose their inet connection. Within 2-5 minutes of stopping Ares everything starts working again. I've checked Ares and it's set to am max of 10 connections.
I've hooked up my old befsx41 and it works fine but I need the wireless. Both of these are talking to a befcmu10 cable modem. I've never had problems with linksys before but from what I'm seeing on the forums the wrt54xxx doesn't seem to be of the same quality as the oldser stuff. Anyone know of any specific versions that fix this?
(Mod Note: Edited for guideline compliance. Thanks!)

Since your BEF works with P2P, why don't you simply convert your WRT into a WAP (wireless access point). This way you will use the wireless of the WRT, while using the BEF to handle all the routing chores.
To do this, setup the BEF as your primary router.
Then wire one computer to port 1 (not the Internet port) on the WRT. (Note: Disconnect everything else from the WRT at this time.)
Then in the WRT do the following:
Turn off the DHCP server.
Set the "Local IP address" to 192.168.1.2 (assuming no other device on your network is using this fixed LAN IP address, and assuming the BEF is set to use the 192.168.1.x address space.)
Save your settings. Power down the WRT.
Next, connect any numbered port on the WRT to any numbered port on the BEF. Do not connect anything to the Internet port on the WRT.
The BEF will control your router settings (DHCP server, port forwarding, etc.)
The WRT will control your wireless settings.
Please let me know whether this setup allows your P2P to work properly.

7510e printer loses internet connectivity when it goes to sleep

I own a 7510e all in one printer, I connected it wireless again after having it connected with a USB
cable, I had to do this because my printer loses internet connectivity when it goes to sleep or if I get a power outage, this has been going on since I purchased it last year. I got a new wireless router/modem combo from my ISP server and hoped that would solve the problem but it has not.
I cannot get any apps except for those that are on the front of my printer which are just for small kids. I am now told that this printer has been discontinued and 7520 has replaced it, I do not wish to spend another $200.00 in less than a year for a printer. It is registered with HP connected and I have a Efax # and HP connected address, I did everything correctly but it seems that each time I set it up wireless it messes up my desktop windows 7 home premium 64 bit, cloud services told me not to use IE 10 but we are ready to download IE11 so I am using IE 10, this time HP support assistant quit working and I could not even uninstall it until I downloaded microsoft fix it and then redownloaded it from HP web site.
If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it, I am not on a home group yet it always tells me I do not have administrators permission to do a lot of things, I am the only user.

Hi emma22
Here is a document for Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates.

I checked and there is no way to turn off the sleep mode on this model.
I included a document for Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection and to try Solution three: Assign a static IP address to the printer. You will need to get your It department most likely to set this up for you if you don't have full admin rights.

Lose Internet Connection When I Use IChat

I lose my internet connection after using my IChat after a few minutes. This happens every time and I have to unplug and plug my my three boxes. My phone is connected to my internet so I lose my phone connection as well. Very annoying. Anyone know what is going on here?

Is this a new box with the phone connection ?

All devices on network lose internet connection when Dell laptop connected

I have successfully setup my AEBS network and am using two wireless clients--HP printer and Xbox access point (both 802.11 G) and a wired iMac that also is connected via Airport (so I can move it around if i want). I tried connecting my Dell Latitude D830 wirelessly and within a few minutes of connecting the AEBS loses internet connectivity. Unplugging and restarting the AEBS restores the internet but it just drops off again in less than 10 minutes. My question is, what might be causing this and what can I do about it? One peculiar thing to me is that I am using the WEP security option since the Xbox doesn't seem to support WAP2. When connecting the Xbox it reports the network as WEP but the HP printer and Dell Laptop but suggested the network was indeed WAP even though I'm clearing using WEP security. Maybe it's nothing but wanted to add for completeness.
The Dell is running Vista Enterprise edition.
Thanks for any help.

I've noticed a similar issue. Any time my HP/Vista laptop is connected to my AEBS it loses the network connection at inconsistant time intervals(~10-15 min).

Often lose wireless connection when using HDTV as monitor

I have an unusual wireless networking problem when using my Samsung HDTV in my living room as a monitor for my MacBook (when watching Internet TV shows, for example). Frequently when I switch URLs, networking freezes, even though the connection appears strong, with the Airport symbol at the top of my screen showing all bars. To re-establish the wireless connection, I have to go through the process of re-joining my network through the “Join Other Network" option. The signal holds as long as I don’t try to change it, as in selecting another URL.
I connect to my HDTV via HDMI cable, using a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter from my Macbook’s video-out port. The audio connection is a mini-plug from the Mac’s headphone out jack to stereo RCA plugs associated with the TV’s HDMI port.
The wireless connection is through a Lynksys Wireless-G 2.4 Ghz, 54 Mpbs Broadband router.
I’d appreciate any solutions the Apple user community has to offer.

I'd say this has nothing to do with your display. The problem will likely lie in either your router settings, network settings or a simple signal strength issue. Try first changing the broadcast channel on your router, and make sure all settings are correct for your desired network.

Why does my macbook intermittently lose internet connection when I have internet service?

Hello,
I have checked around on Apple forums as well as the wider internet. My situation is just a bit different than the other solutions I read about.
I have a MacBook, 10.6.8. I have an internet antenna that plugs into the modem, that I plug into my computer. What I have not found in the forums are solutions to an internet connection loss that happens with a hardwired internet connection, ie ethernet wire, not wireless.
I contacted my isp and I was told there is a very strong connection. The internet will cut out when I open another window or just at random times, maybe for 20 seconds. This is very irritating.
Skype and itunes run just fine even when the internet cuts out. I feel there is a problem with one or my of settings. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Most often BitTorrent, iCloud or some other cloud-data application is involved in cases of mysterious bandwidth use by a Mac. If you use iCloud, uncheck at least Photo Stream and Documents & Data in its preference pane and see whether there's any change. If you use third-party network backup software, disable that. If you use a torrent client, remove it.
Otherwise, there's no easy way to monitor network usage per process using built-in tools. If you're an advanced user and you want to try, see the manual page for the nettop(1) shell command. It may or may not provide the information you're looking for.
The third-party products Rubbernet and Little Snitch are supposed to record network usage by processes. I can't vouch for them. Both were available as free trials, the last time I checked. I suggest you uninstall either one when the question has been answered.

Trouble with internet connection when using extreme to join wireless network

I have an airport extreme that I want to use as an ethernet hub. I have successfully connected it to my wireless modem, and I have a solid green light; however, when I connected the ethernet to my tv/computer/anything there is no internet connection. I tried powering down everything in order and rebooting as appropriate modem then router then computer, but still not internet connection. Any suggestions.

The AirPort Extreme does not provide any routing functions when it is configured to "join a wireless network", so the Ethernet ports are not active in this type of setup. The only thing that really functions is the USB port, which could be used for a remote printer or hard drive.
If you have another Apple "n" wireless router acting as your main base station, you can configure the AirPort Extreme to "extend a wireless network". The Ethernet ports are enabled in this type of setup....and the Extreme will provide more wireless coverage in the area where it is located.

Lose internet connection when lid is closed, but have to have it closed.

Hello, been enjoying my Macbook for some time now, but an issue arises. Everytime I close the lid, it goes into sleep mode and I lose my wireless internet connection, now I understand it was designed this way, but it makes it hard to download large files on the internet, especially since my house attracts dust pretty easily and it gets on the display.
I have to send and receive large files (recording program files) over MSN messenger, but I keep getting disconnected when the lid is shut, any way around this without having to download a program ?
I don't think running the Macbook lid-closed can create heat problems since it was designed to run this way when an external monitor is attached, am I right ? So shouldn't we be able to chose wether it goes to sleep or not when we want ? ... Big issue, at least for me ...
Francis.

You may want to take a look at this program called Sleepless. Should do the trick for you.

Lose Internet connection when I change the SSID

Hi everyone!
well, i bought a WRT160N router, and i have a problem that is annoying me.
I connected the Router to the modem, and all the wired connected PCs were working perfectly.
But then, i went to the setup page to configure the Wireless settings, and as soon I changed the SSID name, the connection internet connection dropped!
The only way i had to fix this was by making a Hard Reset.
after that, I also tryed changing values and settings from all the configuration tabs, and the wired connection was working properly, but as soon i changed any value from the Wireless tab, the internet connection dropped (even, in the diagnostics section, i could not do a ping to google. It says unknown host).
Here you have an image of this:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/41/sinttuloesw.png/
I thought that this was a hardware related problem, and i returned the router for another wrt160n, and the problem persisted.
Also, i have the latest firmware
Any idea?

I thought that a wireless client connects to the named SSID that you designate. If you change the SSID while clients are connected, that would be like the network disappearing as far as the clients are concerned. So you would have to reconnect the clients that were connected to that SSID network. Other wireless network parameters that you change would also cause disconnects, like changing the security, changing the passphrase, etc., you would have to reconnect clients with the new parameters that were connected at the time you made the changes.

Avoid internet connections when using ovi maps.

I own a E60 and have the latest version of Ovi Maps for Belgium on my cell phone.
In my internet settings I mentioned: connection -> Offline. As such I expected not to connect to internet at all and only usethe local maps.
But my last bill mentioned quite a few internet-connections. Is this in order to search (faster) for my own position ? If yes, is there a way to avoid these connections ? If not, any idea what another reason could be (although I don't use mail-functions, ... on my cell phone) ?

Hi Chessness,
If you have set your connection to Offline mode, your maps will not connect any more. So your case should be caused because of some other application or feature of the mobile.
Try to check if you have any application (like social networking apps or weather app, etc..) which use internet to function. Also check if you have any settings enabled in your phone to use internet (like check for automatic software update or somehting like that). You can take the timing of the usages from your bill, that might help you to understand your phone usage more.

Only MBP loses internet connection when I move away from router

Last week I started having trouble with my old Motorola modem/router. I bought a new Zoom modem/router and set it up on Friday. The router is under my desk maybe 12 feet from the top of my stairs (not in a room, it's in an open loft at the top of the stairs). Right now I am on my MBP at my desk, wirelessly connected, and everything is fine. However, if I take my MBP downstairs (or even on to the stairs), I lose internet. The wi-fi status always shows full strength. My iPhone and iPad get wi-fi fine downstairs, even though the wi-fi status doesn't show full strength. It is driving me crazy. What could be causing this? Thanks.

Why do I lose internet connection when I put airport extreme into bridge mode to correct Double NAT issue

I reset my airport extreme router the other day because I was too lazy to reset the password on my private network.
I have been reading the advice found on apple support communities and wide web, but the solutions do not solve any problems and often create new ones.
I'm regretting because everything was working just fine.
But I remember having this double nat error when I first set it up a few months back, but now I cannot resolve it.
I would live with the yellow light, but it seems that this double nat error is preventing my playstation 3 from connecting to the airport extreme.
When I put the aiport extreme into bridge mode, I loose all my wireless networks, even when I reboot the airport extreme and the modem.
I try rebooting the modem, then the airport. and vice versa. No internet.
I switch back to NAT/DCHP and the internet works fine on apple devices, but not the playstation 3, and I have the 1 Double NAT error.
I have a plain stock Motorolla modem and I can dial in and see settings (although nothing about NAT). I didn't see where to see them.
I tried setting the DHCP only but it said it didn't like the settings. is there a stock range i could be using?

I have a plain stock Motorolla modem and I can dial in and see settings (although nothing about NAT). I didn't see where to see them.
Exact model .. motorola make adsl, cable and probably wireless modems.. with some modems and some modem router.. we need exact info. What kind of broadband do you have?
I would note.. some of the motorola cable modems seem to have issues with the apple routers. If you are about due to change modems.. now is a good time.. not another motorola.
If the modem is a straight cable modem, the AE must be in router mode.. but you need to power down the cable modem. maybe for 20min so the new router can pick up the IP address.
You cannot use DHCP alone.. the ISP do not give you a block of IP addresses.
You cannot use bridge with a pure modem.. you will find it works.. but only to one device.
The only reason you get double NAT is the failure to pick up the public IP.
Give the info required..
If you have trouble, I need the actual IP of the modem. the actual IP of the AE WAN port when plugged in. Screenshots are good.

WRT54G Router - Internet connection issues using the Ipod touch

Ok, first - here is my setup. I've got the router hooked into the modem, with the desktop computer hooked directly into the router. I've got my laptop running off wireless internet, and I've got an ethernet cable connecting through my laptop to an xbox for xbox live connection. I recently just got an iPod touch, and I've come to realize that whenever I'm on the iPod, it messes with the internet on the desktop computer and on the xbox, but not the laptop really.. it makes the internet really slow, or sometimes it doesn't work at all, especially on the xbox. Is there anything I can change to make these all work at the same time? Or is this too many connections or what? Please help. thanx.
(running windows vista home premium, WRT54G router, pretty much beginner status, though I can follow directions easily : ] )
Also, the internet always works on the ipod, it seems as though the ipod is 'taking over' the internet.. it doesn't lose it while in the area, yet the other computers and xbox does at times..
Message Edited by jmaxey0122 on 12-16-2009 05:27 AM

You might be facing the problem, because the Ipod and your Desktop computer must be having the same IP address thats the reason whenever your IPod is connected to your Network, your Desktop must be getting disconnected. Check the IP address of your IPOD and of your Desktop Computer.
First thing which you need to check, if the Physical connections are done properly. Connect the Modem to the Internet Port of the Linksys Router and then Connect the computer to the LAN Port No.1. On your Desktop computer login to the setup page of your Router and click on the Status tab and check "Internet IP address"
If required you can Re-Set your Router and Re-configure all the settings on your Router from the scratch.

Loss of Internet Connectivity when Using Airport

I have my Airport Express talking to my wireless Dlink DI514 router for iTunes. This worked great for several months, but all of a sudden I am having problems connecting to the internet.
I spoke to comcast, and they see no problems in my area - they said it could be a router issue. Later I noticed that I only have problems connecting to the internet when I am using my Airport express to play music on my stereo system (which is most of the time).
Has anyone had this kind of problem before? Could it be that my router has gotten sick and can't handle iTunes and connecting to the internet simultaneously? I'd have posted this question on the Dlink site, but I don't see any message boards there. Any ideas?

Ensure that your AirPort Express (AX) is configured as a wireless client of the D-Link. The instructions are in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode.
