WRT54GS semi-disconnect?

I've owned this router for about 3 days now, bought it brand new.
I've noticed that it semi-disconnects. It tells me I'm not connected in the EasyLink Advisor, yet I'm using messengers just fine. However, if I close the messenger and try to reopen, it tells me I'm not connected. If I try going to a web page, I'm not connected. I can have a perfectly working messenger, talking to a friend, meanwhile if I open up IE, I'm not online.
I have no idea what's wrong with it. Ideas?

hi... open I.E. click on file and uncheck "work offline" >> then click on Tools >> Internet Options >> and click on delete cookies, delete files and clear history >> click on the connections tab >> make sure that "never dial a connection should be checked" and click on LAN settings and uncheck every option...check whether it makes any difference or not...

WRT54G v7 disconnections solved

Hi,
I updated the firmware with this one and the disconnection and out of service problems went out.
The update was done from router Web admin panel and the configuration of precedent firmware (7.00.4) has been saved.
Now the problem is that Web page has been a bit screwed. A file (share.js) containing JavaScript is broke and some code of the page is not written. The page still have correct Spanish (I live in Spain) characters with all tildes and nothing of chines (that's why the Web of link is in chines ).
Maybe the problem is just the JavaScript file with incorrect code but i don't know how to solve this, since access to file is not an option (or it is???).
Well fortunately I think I could write a local page with frames to correct this... meanwhile my wifi router WRT54G v7 is still working without an issue (and with p2p softwares running all the times).

Hi...
Try reseting and reconfiguring the router. Also set it up as keep alive specify the redial period. Change the MTU setting of the router to manual and specify the value as 1300. Also the PPPoE connection on the computer should be disabled when router is dialing.

WRT54G Suddenly Disconnects

Its fine when i start the modem and used it for maybe around an hour, then it just suddenly disconnects.
it shouldn't be a ISP issue because when i dial up manually it never disconnects.
When it disconnects, i need to restart the router to continue using the internet, this gets really annoying when you're browsing stuff or gaming.
Please help, I'm using WRT54G, firmware v7
Windows 7 ( i guess the windows doesn't affect my internet connection )

Who is your Internet service provider?
If you connect the computer directly to the modem, it works fine.
Try to upgrade/re-flash the firmware on your router.
Connect the computer to the router with the Ethernet cable. Download the latest firmware from Linksys website and save it on your computer. Open the setup page of the router. Click on Administration tab and go to Firmware upgrade sub tab. Browse the firmware file that you have already downloaded and upgrade it on your router.
After upgrading the firmware on the router , it is recommended that you should reset the router and reconfigure the router.
Press and hold the reset button on your router 30 seconds. Release the reset button and wait for 10 seconds. Power cycle the router.
Follow this link to reconfigure the router with cable Internet service.
Follow this link to reconfigure the router with DSL Internet service.
Once you reconfigure the router, open the setup page of the router and reduce the MTU to 1365. Power cycle the router and check the connection

WRT54G V5 disconnects

I have a WRT54G wireless router. Lately every 20 minutes aprox. the router seems to disconnect my modem and knock it offline briefly. When I have my modem directly connected to one of my PC's this issue does not take place. I have the latest firmware version for the router and have tried two of the same routers and the issue still happens. I am using a satelite connection through xplornet.com Anyone know of anything that will fix this in the router settings? It didn't happen for the first few months using the router, only recently.

I have read on other forums that these router are fairly touchy as far as how much data you can push through them before they give up and reboot. Have you recently started using any file sharing programs that could be potentially generating more traffic than your router can handle? If you yourself have not started using a program ilke this, then has someone else that could be connecting your network? Do you have any type of wireless security setup? If not then I would recommend doing so in order to stop people from abusing your connection. Another posibility is that there could be something else residing on your omputer generating traffic, like a virus. In the past there have been several viruses that generate enormous amounts of traffic on networks. Check the LEDs on the front of the router and see if any of them are blinking unusually fast.

WRT54G Gaming disconnects

I have a WRT54G Version 8 Wireless router. My computer is hard wired to the router while my wifes is wireless. if we are both online & I am playing a online game the router will disconnect me from the game but not the internet. my wifes computer sometimes will totally lose her connection when this occurs. If I try to reconnect to the game it disconnects me about every minute. Once this happens the only way to fix it is to unplug the router,wait 10 seconds & then plug it back up. I was going to try to set the MTU to the ping i was getting to the game servers but it was below 900 so I didn't change it. then today my router totally reset it's self to all default settings. I have no idea whats going on. Can anyone help??

Open router set up page using http://192.168.1.1 ….. Click on status check the firmware of router.
Follow this link
After upgrade of router reset for 20-30 seconds & reconfigure the router.
Use MTU size 1365.

WRT54GS keeps disconnecting

I have either a version 1.0 or 1.1 of the WRT54GS and I had been using unencrypted as I lived in a pretty rural area, since moving to a more busy area there are other WIFI connections so therefore I decided to enable WPA2 on my network. Upon doing so the network works fine unless you either download, stream or anything high bandwidth. The network disconnects altogether from the computer / laptop that was carrying out the task. Disabled WPA2 and the network worked fine again with no disconnects or anything whilst doing same tasks. Any ideas? I have the latest firmware and the firewall option is enabled if any of you are wondering.

You can Enable the Wireless Secyruty on your router again... Login to your Router setup page and Change the Wireless Settings .... Click on Advanced Wireless
settings>>Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation...
Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2307 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect.... After this You can try.

WRT54G - random disconnect

Honest, I did look through a few pages for a similar issue/resolution. Found some similar but not exactly the same. We've had our router for about 9 mos and it is now acting up. When the router is idle and we're not on the net for a couple hours (typically at night or when we leave the house) it disconnects. We have to unplug the router, wait to count of 5 or 6, plug it in and it reconnects to the DSL after about 1 minute. Excellent signal for all our PC's while the router is doing what it is supposed to - but let it sit at idle for a couple hours -- and it shuts down. A friend told us we must be having power surges or ?? and that we should get a UPS. I kind of doubt this is the issue because this little quirk only started the last month or so. Before we take this as the solution, run out and buy the UPS - thought we'd give these boards a try.
Thanks for any input.

What is the firmware on the router ?

WRT54GS v7 Disconnects random

I have a problem, my wireless router has been disconnecting randomly for about as long as i can remember. i upgraded its firmware to 7.50.6 and it still does it. Most of the time that it happens it connects right back up within seconds but sometimes i have to reboot it (unplug and plug the power cord). Its getting very annoying because sometimes im downloading something or streaming something and it gets disconnected or when playing some games on my PS3 i lose all my progress and waste 20-30 minutes for nothing . it basically has normal default settings except it has a WPA Personal TKIP password. but everything else is set to default. When it disconnects it disconnects both wireless and wired connections. It happens to the laptop, desktop , and even my ps3 when playing online. Can anyone help me out ? Any help is very appreciated, Thanks.

WRT54G Router Disconnects

I thought i would put this in a different thread than my wireless problem. I am wired into the wireless router, was working fine all night. When i woke up this morning it was disconnected. I didnt have time to mess with it, but any ideas on what the problem could be. Im not sure what the firmware does, but Ive read that its pretty important to update, and I have not done so just yet. Would this be one reason? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Does this happen at any regular interval ? does it happen often ?
Upgrade the firmware if you are using an older version of it.

WRT54GS v6 Disconnecting

I've had the router for about two years now. About a year ago, the router would all of a sudden stop at exactly 12:01, and then reconnect to the internet. At first this was annoying, having my connection dropping in the middle of doing something important was a hastle. After a while, I figured out the pattern and was able to get around that. But now there is an even bigger problem.
It randomly disconnects now, starting a few weeks ago. During the mornings, it's not nearly as bad; I'd say a disconnect once every hour to two hours. However, during the middle of the day to night, it can diconnect every 5 minutes or LESS. Sometimes I cannot even load a home page before the connection drops.
There is nothing blocking the antennas.
My main computer is a wired connection.
I have reinstalled the latest firmware.
Nothing has changed around the router within the last two years, no new phones or what not.
It is not an ISP problem; if I plug directly into the modem there are no connection drops.
When this happens, I run into the router room and notice that the orange light has gone off and then comes back on when the connection is working again.
Please help me figure this out, I'm a few days away from giving up with this router and buying a new one!

After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you have not done this since your last firmware upgrade, please do this now and see if it corrects your problem. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
To reset the 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...
After resetting the router you should re-configure it...

WRT54G keeps disconnecting (See 6th message)

Suddenly, mid morning, I can't connect to my WRT54G. Early it was working fine. Now, when I search for networks, it shows up sometimes and then doesn't show a few seconds later. Regardless, none of the computers here will connect after "waiting for association". Securities all are set up correctly, but obviously there is something going on.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

OK, a little update and more info on what's happening now:
Now, after some tech support help from Linksys, I was advised to rename the SSID and change the broadcast channel. That seemed to work for about 24 hrs. Now the problem is that I connect and can get to one website, but just as soon as I try to go to a 2nd website, the connection drops off to zero.
Additional possibly related issues:
1. On Sunday, I began to get what appears to be some type of spyware pop-up telling me that my computer is infected and I need to download this new update/program. It is from some "scanner-antivirus.com" or something similar site. I am sure it is spyware so I immediately closed the window. What is weird is that the laptop I am using is from work and has administrator privs blocked so I cannot go into the registry to try to remove this. I still can't figure out how it can get into the registry, but no one can access the registry to get it out, but that is a different story. Could this spyware be causing or have caused the problem with the router? The laptop is not directly wired to the router.
2. Scanning for available networks in my area shows there is one secured network (apparently a neighbor) that always shows up at 90%-100% within my house, while my network typically ranges from 70% to 90% unless I am in the same room as the router. I have read that this could cause interference, but how do I block such a "dominant" signal?
Any help will be appreciated.

Wrt54g v5 disconnects only wired comp

this just started happening the other day my router will only disconnect my wired pc non of my wireless pcs or my wired xbox 360. ive updated the firmware to the latest version with no luck. and its getting worse at first i would just reset the router and it would be back now i have ot reset and plug my cable into a diff port then back for my comp to connect to the internet. does anyone know any fixes or is it possible to use a router on a pc using 2 nic cards (modem-pc-router) to cut out he middle man so this can stop?

to further isolate the problem, can you bypass the router and see if you will still experience the problem.. cuz it might be a modem problem...

WRT54G - Cable disconnects -have to reconfig

Lately everytime my cable modem loses connection and i reset the modem, i then have to reset my router to default settings and reconfigure everything. I'm running WEP along with MAC address filter so it has become quite a tedious task when i have so much to add.
I can't figure out if it's time for a new router or a new cable modem. It has been working just fine for 2 years so i am really confused at what could be the problem. I also have tried the firmware upgrades but it never likes it so I'm not able to upgrade it.
Any help will be appreciated.

First, try & check the modem connected to the pc is not dropping the internet...if its dropping very often issue with the modem.If its not dropping the connection issue is with the router...you need to buy the new router.
