WRT54GX2 SRX200 thermal issue with internal Ethernet switch engine? Issue with DynDNS?

The WRT54GX2 SRX200 had been working for 2 years. Last week it started to drop LAN/WLAN i.e. all Ethernet connection are up for about 20 seconds, then drop, comes back within 10 seconds then drop again after 20 seconds, etc. Shutting off the WRT54GX2 for a while will give 5 minutes of service, but the cycle will start again. Power supply is operating OK. I suspect a thermal problem on the Ethernet switch engine: it has been hot in San Jose and the wiring shelf reached 85*F. The other issue is that DynDNS flagged the WRT54GX2 SRX200 because it updates IP too often e.g. update on a timer ?
I replaced the SRX200 with an older WRT54G V5 that works well in the same spot, and is 'verified' by DynDNS.

Whats the current firmware installed on your Router?
Try to download the latest firmware of your router from the linksys website and upload it on your router, once the firmware is uploaded then you need to reset your router and re-configure all the settings on it from scratch.

  • Do I need an ethernet switch or new router for IP camera setup with old Airport Express

    Hello,
    I am trying to setup a third party Foscam IP camera to my network so that I can ultimately use it as a baby monitor, and am having some difficulty.  I currently still have an old Airport Express (with one ethernet port only).  This is preventing me from setting up the initial camera because I don't have another ethernet port to plug it in to on the router.  I am wondering if I can just buy an ethernet switch and have it "split" the ethernet from my modem to both the camera and the Airport (I do need to check with my ISP provider if they give me two separate IP address... but if they do, would this work?). 
    I am fairly sure however, that my ISP provider (comcast) only provides one IP for my account.  Does this mean I would have to buy a new router altogether with more than one ethernet port on it or one with a WAN port?  Would I, in this case, have to plug the modem into the WAN port on the router, and then the camera to one of the ethernet ports on the router?
    I consider myself fairly tech savy, but when it comes to routers, IPs, LAN, WAN, etc. I get a bit lost.  This has been creating quite a headache for me and any help would be appreciated!  Thanks in advance!

    Sorry, but this won't work as the modem expects only a single device ... either a computer or a router to be connected to it. Unless your modem is actually a combination modem & router or gateway device, then you would need a different router to solve your networking problem.

  • HT5438 Appletv doesn't work with an ethernet switch?

    It worked before when connected directly to the modem, but I wanted to use my modem with my computer too for internet, so I added an ethernet switch and connected the three of them to it.  My internet works good in my computer, but apple tv doesn't work. It doesn't display netflix or any other option to watch video.

    Sidney,
    please post your configuration. Are you using a router between the ethernet switch and the cable modem  which is connected to the internet? It is important to know  where the IP address' for your devices come from. Does the router  provide them, our your internet provider? Open System Preferences on the Macbook and go to the network settings and look at the IP address. The go to settings general on the Apple TV, then network settings and look at the IP address. the last diigits to the right of the period should be close to the same number like : 60.132.19.151  and 60.132.19.134. if they are similiar go to Network utiliy in the utilities portion of the applications folder. Open the Network utitilty and select the ping option. Enter the IP address and see if you can ping it.

  • Airport + Wired Network - Can't see Wired Network with new Ethernet Switch.

    I have an Airport Exteme Wireless network work in my home with a base station and one base station as a WDS. I had an old Linksys wired router that I used as an etherent hub for my wired computers. It died the other day.
    Since I figured I already have a router with Airport, I went out and bought a NetGear 5 port gigabit switch to hook the wired part of my network back up. Since I have done this, I can see all the computers on the wireless Macs, but cannot see the network at all on the wired Macs.
    My configuration is:
    Cable modem -- > Airport (WAN) --> Netgear wired etheret switch (LAN).
    I'm checking the "distribute IP addresses" from the airport. All the compters can access the internet, but my wired Macs can't communicate on the network. I'm darned but I can't seem to figure this out.
    For all you networking gurus out there, what am I doing wrong? I could have bought another wired router, but it seems I shouldn't have to since my Airport should be able to perform the router function to all computers but hooking it to the ethernet switch.
    Any suggestions or help would be most appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Scotty D
    Sorry, I posted this on the AirPort Express discussions by mistake. Apologies, but it belongs here.
    iMac G5, Powerbook 17"   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    You are able to ping the printer from the wireless computer but not from wired computer.
    Open router setup page. Go to wireless tab and click on Advanced wireless settings sub tab.
    Make sure that AP Isolation is disabled on your router.
    Also check the firewall settings on your wired computer. If there is any firewall or Anti virus installed on your wired computer then disable it and try to ping the printer IP address.

  • Virgin cable modem to Ethernet Switch to 3 Macs and Time Capsule

    So here's my headache...
    I've got a Virgin Cable Modem which I am hoping to connect to a Time Capsule (so iPhone can share WiFi connection), a NetGear Ethernet Switch which connects by ethernet cables to a MacBook Pro, new iMac i7, G4 Cube (not such an issue), ancient PC (also not such an issue). Typing this, I have the modem connected to the switch, connected to my MacBook Pro. This part is perfect. I can connect the modem directly to the MacBook Pro and still as Father Jobs intended it.
    ISSUES:
    1. Time Capsule does not see any cables connected to it. Having performed all kinds of resets, swapping cables, connecting the modem directly and via the switch, it still doesn't like it. My guess is that the ports are buggered, even though the green lights on the back are on (are they supposed to stay on without cables in?). However, I can access the internal hard drive wirelessly from the MBP.
    2. The iMac (brand new) will not recognise the modem, whether connected directly to the modem, or via the switch. It gives me a 169.254 IP address, however it will see the MBP on the network. Could it be that the ethernet port in the iMac is buggered also, yet how can it see the network?
    3. Similar story with the G4 Cube. That gives me a 169. IP address.
    4. The PC doesn't let me connect anymore also, where before the arrival of the Macs, it was happy to run directly through the modem.
    Do I have a defective Time Capsule and iMac or is there something I'm missing...?
    All advice greatly appreciated, thanks.

    Hi. Yes, have used AU which had worked previously in my old home, but here it tells me that there is no cable connected in the WAN port (when there is). I can use the AU to access the internal HD wirelessly, but I cannot link to the internet through it with or without wires, since it believes nothing is connected.
    I have checked the network and MBP, iMac and G4 Cube can all see each other via ethernet, yet only the MBP can automatically connect to the internet via DCHP be it directly connected to the modem, or connected via the switch. Inputting the settings manually just tells me it cannot connect.

  • TC not seeing devices attached downstream via a ethernet switch

    I have a number of switches in my home network and for whatever reason the TC is not seeing the devices downstream. I assume the TC works like every other router in existence and should be just fine working with ethernet switches. The switches work great on my old buffalo wap/router and if I turn off the buffalo wap/router, move the ethernet cables to the TC (reboot TC, not reboot doesn't matter) all the network devices go kaput.
    Any suggestions would be great. I've tried everything turning TC off/on. Turning switches off/on, turning switch attached devices off/on. Nothing works. Plug switch ethernet cables back into the buffao wap/router and everything shows up just fine.
    Stumped.

    There are some issues which have popped up with the TC and some routers.. particularly that the WAN connection is not working correctly.
    Try using one of the LAN ports on the TC and see if that helps.
    Also open the Network utility in the computer and run the netstat scan .. it looks like this.
    Locate the TC on the computer that is having issues.
    Then ping it.. use the full domain..
    eg in terminal mine is ping tcgen4.local
    I think you should rename the TC to all smb names.. ie short, no spaces pure alphanumeric as it simply works better.
    Then if the TC shows up in the ping, mount the hard disk manually,
    In finder, Go connect to server and type
    AFP://TCname.local (use the full domain name of the TC from the netstat scan).. or use the IP you get when you ping it.. although that is going to keep changing unless you can lock it.

  • WIRED FAST ETHERNET SWITCH BY NETGear

    Here is my issue and it may be answered best on another board, but here goes. I hooked up a Netgear FS605 Fast Ethernet Switch. I ran my cable connection through the switch out to my Airport and then onto my IMAC Desktop. It all flowed fine. I then ran a cable from the switch to our new ps3 in the basement which did not see the connection. Now I figured maybe my cable making skills are lacking so i testes to see if i had a signal using my laptop. I did not. SO I went upstairs directly to the switch took out a good E Cable and connected the laptop there and still no connection. So i am not sure if A the cable i ran for the PS 3 is bad, and B having a **** of a time getting the Etherenet Switch to be reconized on my LAPTOP. any ideas out there? Once i get the LAPTOP to see the switch i can then go and check my cable run.

    Alex just a quick response to your advice re disabling AV, this did not work for me, after more searching the internet for a solution I found a post from 2013 where one poster offered the advice to go one step further, and it was to remove the AV package
    completely, the package in question was KIS2013. I have KIS2015 and figured I would try it as I was getting a little frustrated with the constant failure to create a virtual switch.
    Anyway, it worked for me, I removed KIS, rebooted, and the VS was created on the first attempt without any issue. So simply pausing/disabling the AV from within the AV program may not be enough, I suspect that some may work and others not, as in the case
    of KIS. I wonder also if you disable the AV services at start-up if this would also work but I did not try it.
    Anyway to other people experiencing this issue, I suggest disabling AV first as per Alex's advice, and if this does not work for you then suggest trying to remove the AV before doing anything more drastic like re-installation of OS as I have seen suggested
    in more than one place.
    Thanks
    Mr Bee
    --EDIT--
    Just wanted to add, it is also worth 'excluding' any Hyper-V folders from the AV engine, I did not try this before removing KIS2015 so it may work without the need to remove your AV product, but on re-install I have now exluded the folders as suggest by
    a few folks in various posts...

  • Ethernet Switch Connectivity Test

    I have attached Block diagram of my application.
    Please help me to solve this issue.

    You never want to have a switch between the modem and base station.
    Reason....the modem only provides one IP address, it will be a matter of chance as to which device connected to the switch gets the Internet connection. If the base station happens to be the lucky guy, no other device(s) that are connected to the switch will be able to connect to the Internet.
    Connect the switch to one of the LAN <-> ports on the base station and all will be well.

  • How large of an Ethernet Switch can you add to an Airport Extreme gigabit router?

    I have a gigabit Airport Extreme router. I like using the Airport Utility to control my network. I want to convert a large number of wireless connections to wired ethernet devices, about 24. The reason is that I just get too many wireless dropouts, and I need a more reliable network. I am looking for the best way to design this. It seems like adding a gigabit Ethernet switch is the easiset and best way to accomplish this. My questions are:
    1. How large of a gigabit switch can you add to the LAN port of an Airport Extreme: 24-port, 48-port?
    2. How far down can you cascade switches? In other words, can I connect three 5-port switches (level 1 switches) to the three LAN ports on the Airport Extreme, and then connect more 5-port switches to the level 1 switches?
    3. What are the performance implications for either design. Can you achieve gigabit performance with these designs?
    Thanks for the help.

    I have a network with an Extreme base station, 3 Extreme wired extenders and 1 express wired extender - in the mix are four 24 port gigabit switches and two 8 port gigabit switches - so you can add as much as you want within the limits of the internal IP address range which is controling the number of devices on the network.

  • Failed while creating virtual Ethernet switch. Failed to connect Ethernet switch port

    Hello Folks
    I am completely stuck with the configuration of my virtual networks. I have one logical switch left to add to one of my Hyper-V 2012 R2 hosts when I started getting the error below when I try to add logical switches to either Hyper-V Host. I have been using
    the document. 'Hybrid Cloud with NVGRE (Cloud OS)' to implement the virtual networking. Basically using the exact configuration that is in the document. I have added the PA Logical Network and the Network adapters and added the logical switch for it to my
    hyper-v 2012 R2 host and everything was fine. I am now trying to add my ISCSI Logical Switch to the host and this is the error I get. My other Hyper-V host I get this error for any logical switch I am trying to add. Can someone help me with this error. I haven't
    been able to find any information about it.
    Also a some quick info on tracing an error like this so I can figure out what is causing it.
    Thsi is my configuration so far
    So as far as I know everything is peachy untill the error below. Dead stop now

    notice your GUID?  you may want to consider ensuring that is the same GUID associated in your database.  Sometimes during data corruption theres a smidge of a chance your sql database kind of either pulls old guids esp if this was reverted to snapshot
    without it being powered off etc.  
    I would try that first.  then i would consider if you get to configure that with your current liscense associated with the host.  I would need way more info to help any further

  • Do I need to buy an ethernet switch that has a WAN port

    I want to buy an Aiport Express to handle a WiFi only iPad and an old PPC iMac with 10.5.8 on it that has no WiFi card.  The iMac gets on the internet from a cable plugged directly into its ethernet port (using DHCP).  The cable comes off an antenna at the front of the cottage.  A signal hits the antenna from a broadcasting tower about half a mile away.
    I need to buy an ethernet switch for the Aiport Express to handle both the iPad wirelessly and the wired iMac.  Does the switch have to have a WAN port or can I buy one with five LAN ports?
    Message was edited by: Roy Vincent.  Spelling error

    So here's what I am planning to do.  I get myself an ethernet switch.  I plug my cable from my antenna into it.  I run a cable from one of its five ports into my iMac.  I run a cable from one of its other ports into my Airport Express.  I configure the Airport Express in Bridge Mode.  Now my wife can connect to the web wirelessly using the iPad and I can connect using the wired iMac --- and we can do so at the same time and indpendently of one another.   No?
    Sorry, but no.
    You only have one IP address.  With a switch feeding two devices, it will be a matter of chance as to which device gets the IP address.
    The other device will not be able to connect to the Internet, since a switch cannot "split" the connection.
    Instead, you need a simple wired router to "share" the public IP address that you receive. In turn, the router distributes "private" IP addresses to devices on your local network, so each device will be able to connect to the Internet. 
    As I mentioned, a switch cannot perform the functions of a router.

  • Connecting an Ethernet switch to the AE?

    Hi,
    I have a small wireless network at home with the following setup:
    1. Airport Express (802.11n) + ADSL modem connected to the ethernet port.
    2. Mac Pro (2008) w/Airport Extreme card
    3. Mac mini (2010) w/Airport Extreme card
    4. PC laptop with 802.11b/g card (serves as a media center)
    5. iPod touch
    Since the laptop sits just beside the Airport unit I would like to connect it with a cable, for a couple of reasons:
    a. Its wireless card is slow and unreliable.
    b. I'd like to use Wake-on-LAN features
    Since the Airport Express' only Ethernet port (which I understand serves for both WAN and LAN?) is already in use by the modem, I was wondering if I can connect the modem and the laptop to a simple ethernet switch (I was thinking of this one: http://www.edimax.com/en/producedetail.php?pd_id=281&pl1_id=4&pl2id=23) which will then be connected to the Airport Express. Is this possible?

    You would need to use a simple wired only router...not a switch...to do what you want. Reason...with a switch, your "modem" is connected to two devices at the same time, but it can only deliver one IP address. It will be a matter of chance as to which device, the laptop or the Express connects to the Internet.
    If the Express connects, then you will have no Internet signal for the laptop. If the laptop connects first, then you will have no Internet connection for the Express.
    A router will accept a single IP address and provide additional IP addresses so that multiple devices will be able to connect.

  • Airport Express & Ethernet Switch

    Hi All,
    I'm hoping somone can help me here.
    I have an original Airport Express that was previously connected to an old Linksys router via my cable modem.
    After experiencing intermitent web surfing speeds(via my ethernet connected iMac), I decided to swap my Linksys router to a NetGear 8 port gigabit switch.
    My ethernet connection works fine, but for some reason the Airport express is not able to connect. In the airport utility, I am seeing two errors:
    1. Internet Connection
    2. No DNS Servers
    I've reset the airport express numerous times as well as reset my cable modem, ethernet switch, and iMac.
    I even doubled back and connected the old Linksys router and the Airport had no trouble connecting.
    Any input/advice would be greatly appreciated.
    -Sky

    You removed your router, and cannot use a switch without one. There is nothing to switch.
    Connect your Express directly to the cable modem and reconfigure it as a wireless router.
    Since your original AirPort Express has only one Ethernet port, there is no longer a connection available for a switch. You either need a new Express or Extreme or router with at least one LAN port.
