WRT54GS v. 6 Dropping Connection Every 5 Minutes

I got a Linksys WRT54GS v.6 router in October. In the beginning, it would occasionally (every couple of days) lose its wireless connection, and for a while DHCP did not work with my iBook. Then I upgraded last month to firmware version 1.52.0, which solved the DHCP problem, but did terrible things to the connectivity.
Soon thereafter the connection, both wired and wireless, started dropping every 5 minutes, and could be recovered only by power-cycling the router (the wired computer is a PC running XP, and the wireless is, as stated above, an iBook G4 with OS 10.4.8). I should note that I tried the DSL connection directly through the modem with the wired computer and it stayed up for the entire time I used it, which was close to an hour. I spent many, many hours on the phone with tech support and changed wireless channels, MTU sizes, fragmentation and RTS thresholds, and beacon intervals, along with several hard resets of the router, but continued to have the same problem, so they deemed the hardware defective and sent me a replacement.
When I got the replacement, I went about installing it and immediately upgraded again to version 1.52.0, and everything worked great for about a week, when I started having exactly the same problem with the connection dropping every 5 minutes like clockwork. Again, I called technical support and suggested it was a software issue, but they insisted it was hardware and are sending me a new router again.
Has anyone had a similar experience with this router/firmware? Does anyone have any solutions outside of having Linksys replace my router every 2 weeks? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

 too had this exact same problem.  Please note that "had" is the past tense.  This is a consistent problem and the geniuses on the help desk don't have a clue how to fix it.  In looking at this and other forums, found a website with step-by step instructions to change the OS to Linux and change the firmware.  Have been rock solid ever since,  Once you change, the admin pages appear differently but you have access to the same admin fields as well as some additonal information.  Ihttp://www.wrtrouters.com/guides/upgradetolinux/

  • BT Homehub 2 dropping connection every few minutes

    Hi, my homehubs been working perfectly until today when it started dropping the connection every few minutes (ranging from 3 minutes up to 13). The broadband and phone lights go out then orange and then back to blue after about a minute.
    Having browsed the forums etc Ive changed the location of the hub, changed channels, checked cabling and changed the microfilter.
    Im now at a bit of a loss. The firmware is Version 8.1.H.J (Type A) and i notice that the firmware updated on todays date.
    Im hoping someone has some ideas as im all out now.
    Thanks

    I have the same problem friday afternoon at 4.30 to 11.30 at night the router reset itself every five minutes ....the prob first started in nov 2010 i have had 3 home engineer visits and finally we might be getting somwhere it looks like its caused by interferance on the line the phones fine its the broadband ,looking at the engineers meter it was running fine then all of a sudden it spikes erros 21,000 of them the router reboots and steadys again .......somthings causing line interferance it could be anything a pir on a security light ,a street lamp with a faulty timer ,there has even been a case where a car tyre garage has had its broadband removed by sombodys faulty tv .......
             the engineer fitted a resistor box under the wall socket and ran the wires through it to the socket ...this is disigned to filter out certain frequencies of line pollution but not all ......it seems to be working its only shut down twice tonight and that could be the exchange mucking about as they are continuing to monitor the problem ......HOPING ....... oh he also removed the front of the wall socket and fitted me a dsl one with a separate phone socket hence doing away with the dsl filter ......................

    If your AirPort Express is configured as a "bridge", with Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode) it is receiving DHCP services from the router that is ahead of it, in this case, probably the Buffalo that you mention. That would be the device where the lease settings would be adjusted.
    Check AirPort Utility
    Manual Setup
    Click Internet icon
    Check the Connection Sharing setting at the bottom of the page to confirm your setting for the the AirPort Express

  • MSI GX640 Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN dropping connection every ~10 minutes

    Problem: Getting disconnected every 5-20 minutes. Network card: Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN.
    Solutions tried: Router restarted? No idea what to do, googling it yielded no viable results, even though I can't say I'm pro at googling. Found no drivers on MSI homepage.

    Further information:
    My MSI GX640 had problems with heating and was sent to be repaired and got its heatzink switched. I started getting disconnects every 10 minutes or so, sometimes less than a minute apart, sometimes up to 20 minutes without a disconnection.
    Don't really know what information you might need, so please do tell if something is missing.

    Those are not the newest: http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=nbdriver&maincat_no=135&prod_no=1998
    You'll get the newest at:  http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/detect.htm - click the check buttom and follow steps. <- These are from 18-10-2010
    But yeah you'll might need to change which wireless channels you are on. If you aren't using Wireless connection then you might have to check your LAN card drivers or this can allso be caused by your ISP or bad connection on your internet line.

  • Loosing internet connection every 15 minutes

    I am "loosing" my internet connection every 15 minutes. The cable box was replaced. Internet sharing is off. The firewall is on and no ports are checked. But, every 15 minutes, I get a message (using Safari) that there is no connection. I select network diagnostics and after I go through a few steps, all the buttons are green and then the connection works. This is very problematic, though, since I am loosing work while working online. Any suggestions?

    Hi otobinchicago,
    The fact is you can delete the .plist (com.apple.networkConfig.plist) and re-enter your setting and you will find out if this is the problem, but as I can assure you I have been through the same process. Reconfiguring the computer, the modem, etc, and it was the hardware.
    You could try taking your computer to a friends house linking it to their modem and testing it that way. As long as the post-computer to ISP link is nothing to do with your hardware, you will see that it could be hardware or software.
    My bet is that it is hardware. It sounds too similar to what I had.

  • Loosing connectivity every few minutes

    I am working on a Toshiba Portege 400. I have no problem connecting, but I loose the connection every few minutes. Sometimes it reconnects quickly, other times I have to select "connect".I do not have the same problem with my other laptop. Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Set up DHCP Static,locking MAC and IP,select the lease time in the router for the Toshiba . If that not help you,upgrade the latest firmware,if agin is occure the problem check your WI-FI card,try with other one of the other Laptop.
    Good Look !!!!!!

  • Cisco SD2008 v3 switch dropping connections every few hours

    Hi, I have a Cisco SD2008 v3 switch at the office that routinely drops connections every few hours and must be turned off/on to get back up. It doesn't seem to drop all connections, but some boxes plain and simply become unreachable.
    I've double-checked that there aren't any looping cables. The network infrastructure wasn't touched, as we had a cheap unbranded switch before (which amusingly didn't have any problems other than an annoying fan) and just put the Cisco in.
    I've googled a bit and found some references to this problem, which leads me to believe it's reasonably widespread. Is there a firmware update of some sort for this equipment? Any ideas?

    Hi Bruno,
    If you would be so kind as to ring the good folks at the Small Business Support center regarding this issue.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/support/tsd_cisco_small_business_support_center_contacts.html
    If there is a known problem with this older product it should be replaced.  You cannot update the unmanaged switch with new firmware as I guess that can only be done in a factory.
    But the older SD2008  has been refreshed by  the new  technology SD2008T  (100 series)  which are really quite advanced compared to the older SD series switches.

  • EA3500 dropping internet connection every 2 minutes

    Hello!  I've recently purchased the EA3500 dual band wireless-N router to replace my old and somewhat tired WRT54GS.  The old router worked, I just decided to upgrade to wireless-N since all of my devices are now capable.
    My ISP is Comcast and I use a Motorola SB 6120 cable modem.  
    After an extremely easy setup of the new router last week, I experienced one full day of glorious speedier network and internet traffic.  However, roughly 24 hours after installation I started experiencing intermittetent internet connectivity issues.  As in - the cable modem is accessible for 2 minutes and then can't be found for 2 minutes, repeat forever.  
    After multiple different troubleshooting steps, including rebooting both the modem and the router together, separately, and releasing and renewing the router's IP Address through the router's admin page, I finally ended up resetting the router back to factory defaults and letting Windows 7 guide me through the re-installation rather than using the provided "easy setup" CD from Cisco.
    This seemed to have helped, but 2 days later, my "every 2 minutes" issue returned.  
    Something important to note here is that all of my devices - both wired and wireless - are able to communicate with each other without issue.  For example - while I have no access to the cable modem, I am able to stream music from a wired desktop through a wireless laptop to a wireless receiver connected to my TV.  I am also able to access the router's admin tools during my connectivity issues.  
    Has anyone here got some ideas for additional troubleshooting steps I can take?

    There are many reasons why you experience poor signal or connection. Your slow throughput wireless connection has a relation to the kind of setup that you have in your home or office. Is the connection dropping on all wireless-N computers or just one?
    Try to do the following steps:
    A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
    1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
    2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
    3] Lower the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) from 1500 to 1492 or less (usually found on your routers main/ basic setup page)
    B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the username field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.

  • Apple TV dropping WiFi connection every two minutes

    Hey there,
    So I bought an Apple TV a couple days ago. Product looks great and looks absolutely gorgeous on the TV I have. My only problem (and its a HUGE problem) is that the device drops my WiFi every two minutes. Specifically when watching videos.
    So in effect I cant stream any video - be it from YouTube, iTunes, NFL, Vimeo or even over AirPlay - because every time I do the signal drops and I'm thrown back to the main screen.
    My WiFi pretty good. I have an iPhone, an iPad, two PC laptops and a Samsung smart phone that use the same network without any issues.
    Please help me with this problem. I really really like the product but its practically useless with this issue.

    Other devices working doesn't rule out a network issue.
    Try connecting Apple TV via ethernet
    Go to istumbler, netstumbler or similar to get a network report. Look for signal strength, noise, and nearby networks.

  • WRT54GS v1.0 Drops Connection under Vista, Fix?

    Since an upgrade to vista my router has been droping the internet connection at random times, and quite frequently. Sometimes i will be connected for hours, other times it will drop every 5 minutes. This problem did not exist under XP, nor does the net cut out on other XP based machines. Occasionally it will drop the connection, and not see any networks (there are several in my area). Other times it will show my network with the name "Unnamed Network" and not allow me to connect to it. I'm thinking there is an issue with Vista autodetecting the network? Went to look for the latest firmware, but seems linksys is almost a year behind since their last release (i updated anyways). Also why is there no tech support email clearly posted on their site to address them with this question? Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Upon further review, every time my internet cuts out on my Vista laptop, it is also cutting out on my wife's XP laptop. The internet does NOT drop on my wired XP machine. They both drop at the same time, what does this indicate? Again this is new since adding a vista computer to the network, this router has been rock solid for well over a year otherwise.
    I also went through tech support (before i realized all wireless was dropping at the same time) and they confirmed this router should work with Vista.
    Is it just bad luck my router went bad at the same time i installed Vista? Or is Vista somehow affecting this? And to the above poster, thanks for the advice, but i swapped out my internal Intel 3945ABG adapter with my other laptop (same adapter of course) and it did not change anything. I'm led to believe this is Vista borking it, or my router just went/is going bad?
    Anyone?

  • Wireless drop down every 10 minutes

    I have Macbook air 11, I have problem with wireless connection, it drop down every 10minutes exactly. I tried everything to fix that with no use. manual solution is to turn off airport and turn it on again or renew the lease for your DHCP...Please help

    The wireless network works fine on my three other PC's (with windows 7) plus my girlfriends laptop (with windowds 7). I have Mac OS X 10.6.7 on my MBA and still the same problem. I even had a friend on visit today which have a MBP with OS X 10.6.6, he also experienced dropping out of my wifi, but not on the same way as me on the MBA.
    Is it so that OS X don't work with certain routers? Or is it a production error on my MBA? Feels stupid to buy a new router just because I have bought an Apple product.
    You should try connecting to the internet using a router other than yours. Take your MBA to an Apple retail store or somewhere where WiFi is available. Surf the net for a couple of minutes and if you don't experience any connection drop then the problem is probably with your router.

  • Failed to start the SASL connection (every 10 minutes)

    I have been recently seeing the following console message at 10 minute intervals:
    8/23/12 8:46:44.368 AM Mail: [<_LibSasl2SASLClient: 0x7fd1cbe048f0> mechanism: PLAIN security layer: no] Failed to start the SASL connection
    SASL(-1): generic failure:
    I use Apple mail connected to a Verizon FIOS internet account using SSL for both incoming (port 995) and outgoing (port 465) per Verizon requirements. Mail does work fine in both directions, just the annoying log messages every 10 minutes.
    Any ideas?,  thanks in advance

    I just began searching the same message. Mail has been taking a little while to quit. The message you referred to seemed to be triggered about the time Mail was quiting. Along with this one:

  • WRT54g v.5 - dropping connections

    Have had this router for over a year now. Worked fine when I first got it, then started having dropped connections issues. Updated to the latest firmware and it dropped maybe 3 times in the past year, until just the other day. I cannot for the life of me get this thing to stay connected for more then a day. I restored to factory defaults, tried the newest firmware... nothing seems to work. Ready to throw this thing in the garbage!
    If I can't get this thing working again, can someone recommend a decently priced router that isn't so flakey?

    same prob here ,,but my 54gv5 cuts the internet every 4 hours or so...
    cmon linksys techs we need a little help here !
    im pullin hairs now...
    cheers
