WRT600N loss of internet connection on reboot

Folks
I realise this is an older router, but its been very dependable with one exception.
I have the latest flash installed. I am making use of all the options available to this router. USB drive set up as a file server, both radio bands have devices which attach. All wifi security is wpa2 with a complex key string. Also have pc’s attached to all lan ports. I also have all the wireless devices registered on the mac address filter for access set to enable/allow. I have a total of 9 mac address in the list. One lan device is on the DMZ. One address is reserved. Not sure what other details you need.
Router is used for online gaming, video streaming, and typical internet browsing.
The problem I have is if the router is powered off for any reason. After power back on, the internet access is severed. Intranet activity works fine, and even can run a “trace” to an out side address, but devices on the network don’t have access. The only way I have been able to recover the access, is factory reset the router, and reprogram it from scratch, which it will then work again until the router has a loss of power.
When I look at settings after a power outage, all setting seem to be there. I don't see any loss or change of settings.
Any ideas? (config save/restore never works)

This isn't a really cheap answer, but I'd consider having my router and modem on a UPS (uninterruptible power supply). This will save your router, in most cases, from experiencing power outages and brownouts. My router and cable modem are both on a UPS, and they stay on for quite a bit of time after the power fails, and usually don't even experience a power outage. This is kind of an indirect answer to your concern, but I'm a firm believer in UPS's for the health of my electronic devices. They provide both power and surge protection as well, but do cost a little money. I've lost some expensive items as the result of power failures that did weird things (like rapid on/off cycles).
This doesn't help you if you have to power it off yourself for some reason. I can certainly see how this would be frustrating, but I don't know if there's a solution to the basic problem of loss of connection after you power it back on.

Loss of internet connectivity after upgrading to windows 8.1

Hi, After upgrading to windows 8.1 from windows 8 i am experiencing major problems , loss of internet connectivity for no reason both I.E. and G/CHROME are now taking an age to open there are no virus issues as far as i can see.
I have uninstalled and re-installed windows 8.1 about four times over the past 9 months or so and the same thing happens after all the updates are in it runs like a dream for say 6weeks or so then i get the same faults as described above then i uninstall/ re-install ok for 6 weeks .
I would apprieate any help or advice thanks

Hi @BMATH
Thank you your query.
I understand that after updating to Windows 8.1 about every 6 weeks you loose wireless connectivity for no reason and the web pages are very slow to open. If you uninstall and reinstall Windows 8.1 it works fine again for about the same amount of time. You have done this about 4 times with the same result each time.
Do you know if there is any changes at that time , perhaps an update?
You stated you do not believe you have any viruses. Just to be sure here are two links that will help confirm that.

Unexpected shutdowns and loss of internet connectivity on brand new 420t

Hi,
I was experiencing unexpected shutdowns (would see safe mode choices when turned PC back on) and also intermittent internet connectivity issues.
To Fix:
In device manager, I turned off the option in the Realtek Network Controller Power management tab to allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
It's been working like a charm so far (2 days). I'm not so sure HP should be building PCs with this option set. There are no updates that I haven't installed either. PC still sleeps (can see nic lights go off) and wakes up just fine.
Other that that we really like this PC...Beats Audio wasn't impressive with only the internal speakers, then I tried a good set of external tweeters and a subwoofer and then it was realized.
Hope this helps someone.

Troy,
Thanks for the suggestion. It sounds like you've heard that others have had this problem. Is that right?
And are you suggesting that the kernel panics and the loss of Internet connection are related? They often happen independently of one another.

Sporadic Rotating Loss of Internet Connection for Just Some Devices

Hi,
We've been having a problem where one or two of our devices (phones, laptops, iPads, Apple TV) lose internet connection for 10-30 sec at a time, while the others are fine.
As best as I can tell it's a full loss of connection, not just something running very slowly due to us pushing the bandwidth limits. I've experienced the latter elsewhere and this manifests very differently. It will instantly and fully disconnect a person from an online game or drop a skype call without the accompanying prolonged lag or distortion of bottlenecked bandwidth.
It happens at all times of day, and does not seem related to our peak times of bandwidth usage, nor the general public's peak times of usage.
We should have enough bandwidh for our usage, and usually we do. Our system is 25/25 Mbps and during our peak use at most we would probably have 1 laptop gaming, 1 HD video stream, and 2 non-HD streams. However, like I said before, the problem seems unrelated to overall bandwidth usage. The same problem occurs even at midnight when our local usage is minimal.
Overall we have 6 laptops, 5 phones, an iPad, 2 microcell signal boosters, and Apple TV, in total connected to the FiOS. We have a property with tenants where the signal is distributed via 3 WiFi routers and one direct ethernet cable to my laptop, and one to the Apple TV.
It happens on devices that are both connected through the WiFi (wife's laptop, phones, iPad) and ethernet (my laptop, Apple TV). It can happen with devices that are a few unobstructed feet from the WiFi router. However, it anecdotely seems to happen more on our phones than laptops.
My hunch is it is something outside our local network. This is because our equipment and usage has basically remained unchanged over the last couple months. (We got one new microcell tower for a different carrier, one new wifi router, but overall same # of people and patterns of usage.) And yet the problem seems to be getting worse. Back in probably early November I don't remember this problem occuring at all.
My second best guess is there are more devices connected to the network than it can handle simultaneously, and it rotates which gets kicked off. Maybe this was occuring before but we didnt realize it.
My third guess is it has to due with signal interference with the various WiFi routers and microcell boosters. However, this seems less likely since it also affects devices connected via ethernet cables.
Any thoughts or advice is much appreciated! Thanks!
-Ned

Ok, so in the mean time we decided to upgrade our service so I've only tried this solution now.
My problem though now is I can log into 192.168.1.1, then give my verizon admin password, and then set my channel preference. That seems fine for changing the main network input and wifi router (call it A).
However, we have another wifi router (call it B) which is fed from A via a cable. I cannot figure out how to change B's wifi channel. Therefore I worry if we have only switched A, since A feeds B (as well as the 2 microcells) they will all still be on the same channel and therefore still interfering with each other.
I have tried www.routerlogin.net (and .com) as written on my netgear router and I get "http://searchassist.verizon.com/" telling me "Sorry, We could not find www.routerlogin.net". I have also tried logging into wifi router B via all the 192.168.1.X addresses I see listed on the Verzion account when I log in via 192.168.1.1 (in total I tried all the 192.168.1.[1-24] options).
Thanks for the help!

10.7.4 causing hangs and loss of internet connection

Since the update I have had applications hanging and crashing. Mostly Mail, iTunes, and Safari. What is more annoying however is when the computer is inactive for an hour or so, I lose internet connectivity and have to shut down and reboot in order to get it back. I am on a wired connection and sharing another wired connection through the second ethernet port. Has anyone had these issues? It seems like 10.7.4 really messed with my machine...

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Step 1
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Time Capsule - Loss of Internet Connection

Configuration:
Time Capsule connected to Oceanic Cable (Time Warner in Hawaii) modem
Wired ethernet to iMac & TV complex (DVD, Apple TV, Roku)
WiFi to 2 Airport Expresses (network extensions). Lots of Apple products talking wirelessly
The ethernet communications (wired input) for my Time Capsule (1st edition) seems to have failed. I note the following symptoms:
When I plug imac directly into Oceanic Cable modem (bypassing the Time Capsule) the iMac sees the internet just fine
When I plug the Time Capsule into the Comcast modem, the internet connectivity for all devices (both wired and wireless) is lost. This seem to be the only problem. All other parts of the Time Capsule are working. I can see hard drive and attached external drive.
Airport Utility shows Apple Network working fine, jiust no internet connection
Are there any remedial steps I can take to resolve, or does this mean I have an ethernet board failure in the Time Capsule?

Are you rebooting both the cable modem and the TC when you swap the TC back?
That is usually necessary on any cable system.. just check the TC if it is picking up a WAN IP.. most likely not.
I presume this has been working fine for ages and has failed recently?
A gen1 TC is 4years old.. it is well past its use by date.. many died at 1.5-2 years.. they were only supposed to last 3years anyway.
I think it is simply time for a new one. But you can try a full factory reset of the Gen 1.. just see what happens.

Permanent loss of Internet connection on new iMac - old G3 works fine

After 1 month new iMac won't connect to Internet. (Cable modem/ethernet) All usual procedures tried - powering off modem/unplugging connection etc/rebooting. Network connections show valid addresses etc and modem shows correct lights - even sending/receiving!
Reconnecting old G3 works immediately! So can't be problem with ISP or cable modem.
Any ideas please?

Update for anyone reading the first post.
Solved the problem by archive & install 10.5 and updated again to 10.5.1 and other updates EXCEPT Security Update 2007-009 1.1 which I installed yesterday and coincided with accessing the net problem!
Question - now to install this Security Update?!

Intermittent loss of internet connection on Homehu...

Hi Everyone
I have recently taken out a new contract with BT and connected my new Homehub 4 on the 14th February. Seemly it was okay for at least 5 days then I started to experience some intermittent loss of internet on all of the devices, i.e PC, laptop, xbox, it effected both wired and wireless. The hub was showing orange light, which then prompt me to press the reset/restart button on top of the hub.
I have try out my old Homehub 1 for 3 days to see if it effected that one too, but the hub 1 was perfect in term of no loss of connection for 3 day.
Then I connect homehub 4 again on Fri 28th February it was okay for a day, except on 1st march in the morning hub seem to disconnect/reconnect itself. Then around 2310 pm I have loss all connection to the internet through all of my devices again.
Does anyone know what this problem is? It is to do with BT-Wifi Fon, or is the hub 4 faulty and need replacing?
Many Thanks

It was orange central broadband light, there were no other light showing on the silver part.
I have not tried test socket yet, however, I did have a new master socket and line replaced couple year ago, so it would have the new faceplate on there. Plus, the external line etc must be working since hub 1 was working perfectly.

PSE-8 crash with loss of internet connection

PSE crashed when I temporarily lost an internet connection. Now, when I try to restart PSE (even after rebooting the computer and modem), the PSE welcome screen appears and says "gathering user data" but it never completes that task. If I click on "Organize" or "Edit" from the main menu while it is supposedly gathering data, I receive a message that PSE has crashed and a trouble ticket will be sent to customer support. Is this something I can fix from my end?

Valet M10 drops internet connection and reboots intermittengly

I have the Valet M10 wireless router. In the last few days I have noticed that I keep loosing my internet connection. There appears no issue with my Time warner ISP modem. But I did notice that when my internet connection was lost that all the lights were out on my router. Then after a short while it appeared the router was rebooting itself as all the lights started to blink and after a minute or so my internet connection was back. Unfortunatel this process continues several times a day and sometimes a few times withint an hour or two. Has anyone run into this type of situation and any ideas on how to rectify.
I have M10 version 1-- firmware 2.0.03 build 4 software 1.4.11260.0

Hi Carl43m. If the internet connection continues to drop when connected directly to the modem, that will be your queue to contact your ISP. However, I agree with FurryNutz that if it is only your wireless connection that has been affected, we can say that this might be due to wireless interference.
You can adjust the wireless channel on the M10’s web- based setup page. In case you are using the Cisco Connect software, you may try to:
Go to Valet settings > Advanced Settings
Take note of the username and password.
Click OK and wait for the setup page to stop loading.
Click Wireless and select Manual.
Change the channel to 1, 6 or 11 and save the changes.
To manually access the setup page, log on to http://192.168.1.1and enter the router’s administrative password and username. The default password is admin and leave the username blank or use the one that you set when you initially set the router up. Then, move on to steps 4 and 5.

Apple Mobile Device Support uninstall and itunes install causes loss of internet connection

Whenever I uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support (AMDS) I lose my internet connection. The only way to fix this is to restore Windows to a previous state. I've tried troubleshooting my internet connection when this happens but Windows tells me something is wrong with both my wired and wireless connection drivers... and of course I need the internet to fix said drivers :s
I've tried repairing AMDS and this doesn't help either.
I've been trying to download itunes but it tells me a program needed to install it cannot be run. After this I can't get back on the internet without first restoring windows to a previous state. I thought that uninstalling everything apple from my system would do the trick but I can't seem to uninstall AMDS without messing up my internet drivers. What else can I try?

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

HT201364 I am not able to download OS X Mavericks after the download process was aborted by loss of internet connectivity momentarily.

I tried to download OS X Mavericks from the APPS store abd it was downloading ok. But after 3.4 GB of data transfer, internet connectivity was lost with message "an error has occurred". Tried to again initiate the download but now downloading is not taking place and I am getting continous error of "an error has occured". Please give procedure to resolve this issue. My current OS is Mountain Lion (10.7.5).

Loss of Internet connection after software upgrade

After carrying out a software upgrade last weekend which included iTunes 10.4.1, Remote Desktop 3.5.1 I'm finding that my internet connection stalls and the iMac hangs after unspecified periods of time. Sometimes I can carryout a restart, other times I require a hard reset to get the iMac running again.
All will be fine and then once again Internet will stop working and eventually the iMac will hang again.
I've tried a number of actions to see what's going on, there are no processes hung or taking up huge ammounts of CPU. If I try to refresh the IP address of the Ethernet connection from the router this is possible, but you still can't browse to a page.
I've also tried deleting some of the .plist info from the System Prefs area and having Lion re-build them but that hasn't worked either.
My next thought was a complete re-build of Lion from scratch, but before I start down that road, has anyone any other ideas?
System specs are;
iMac 2.8GHz C2Duo
4GB Ram
Running Lion 10.7.1
Many thanks,
Stuart.

Hi Larry,
If you go to Control Panel -> Network Connections (For Vista and Windows 7: Network and Sharing Center) -> Double click on your Network Adaptor (Vista and 7: Top left hand corner of the Network and Sharing Center, click on 'Change Adaptor Settings' and double click on your adaptor. Click Properties and scroll down to 'Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP /IPv4), click Properties and make sure that 'Obtain an IP Address automatically' and Obtain DNS server address automatically' are ticked. Click Ok, then OK, then finally close. Check to see if you have connectivity. If you don't, go to start, in Run (Or in the search bar) type 'cmd'. Once Command Prompt opens, type 'ipconfig /flushdns'. Close Command Prompt and check again. If you still don't have Internet connectivity, go to Internet explorer and click Tools -> Internet Options (If you have Internet Explorer 7 or 8, press Alt before looking for tools. This will make the bar appear). Go to the Connections Tab and click on 'Lan Settings'. Make sure that you do not have 'Use a proxy server for your LAN' ticked. Also make sure that you have 'Automatically Detect Settings' ticked. Once you have done this, click Ok, Apply and Ok and check again for connectivity. If this didn't resolve your problem please post back
Sorry for the long answer
Cheers

Email accounts lockout along with loss of internet connection

email accounts (2) constantly being locked out with messages advising 'failed internet connection'. Address bar freezes when typing in web addresses and internet drops out/ freezes after a while when veiwing webpage. Server advises all connections are good and that I should contact Apple re Mac settings!! Any suggestions welcome please.

Thanks for that. I have done this previously but the problem reoccurs. The issue is intermitent so it is difficult to know if the problem still exists until it fails again.I had spoken to my server ( Fri 3 ) and the emails were working ok ( typing into the browser address bar froze at the time though ) and then today (Sat ) the emails went down again and the internet dropped out when veiwing webpages.

LOSS OF INTERNET CONNECTION

Please help me, I am close to a nervous breakdown!
I had an internet connection once, I would lose the connection occassionally, but had no problem reconnecting. Now it has gone completely! (1 month and counting!)
Thought it might be a router problem, so brought a new one. I now have 2 routers, 2 lots of leads, 3 ethernet cables, 5 filters....still cant connect.
Take equipment round to my friends house, connect first time no problems, using all leads router etc etc. Still cant connect at my house!
Friend brings laptop round (PC rubbish) connects and surfs no problem, thru my router or the usb modem supplied by tiscali (usb modem wont work on mac) Ring Bt, no problems with line (get green light for telephone connection on router, but no green light for internet) Ring tiscali, again no problem with connection) Its not hard using DHCP, email address & password, router seems to try to connect, only error code I recieve is CHAP protocol error.....my Mac not talking to there server....I think!
Network connection on mac gives me 3 green lights for ethernet, network, ISP, but 2 red lights for internet and server!!!
Have rebuilt the machine 3 times, dump prefs, dumped caches, smu reset, everything I can think off!
I can see from the forum that there are a lot of people out there with similar problems, Any ideas please? Be gentle, new to mac's

Can you draw a schematic of your setup?
surge protector for modem => modem => router/switch
=> ethernet surge protector => ethernet cable to Mac.
Ethernet ports are vulnerable to power outage and
surges as well as whatever summer lightning storms
can create.
A surge protector for the modem is a good investment.
But it allows more power through than should be on
the ethernet cat5 and going into your Mac's ethernet
port.
Did you look into using or buying a 2nd modem?
Netgear has ADSL modem-router/switches in US for
$105. I don't know how proprietary or anything the UK
systems are.
In Tiger I found (back around 10.3.4) that I had to
put the primary and secondary DNS IP address, which
were automatically picked up by router, into the
Network control panel to prevent delays. Then to turn
off IPv6 (causes slower response or no response and
isn't wildly supported it seems, but not sure why it
is even there then).
Can you or have you reset the router or modem? most
have a button that will return it to default state,
but lose any settings you have provided.
I'm not sure what was in your .sig as to mac etc and
whether you can use an alternate ethernet type
connection, PC-CARDBUS or wireless router connection.
Hello "The Hatter", thanks for replying to me,
I have already purchased a second router, but I am still getting the same problem, Have reset the routers back to factory default on numerous occasions (with no success)
Get the same problem when connecting wireless as well
Lan light flickers when trying to connect with mac, so I presume a signal is coming from the mac to the router.
The only error message i get is on the router is LCP or CHAP negotiation failure. Sounds like tiscali server is not recognising my email address/password, will email you a schematic
