WRT610N ROUTER IS DROPPING OUT OR NOT CONNECTING TO MY NEW LAPTOP

I just bought a new HP wireless laptop and a new Linksys WRT160N wireless "N" router. I've connected the router and installed the router software to my desktop PC which is wired by the way and the internet works fine on it. I've created my SSID name and created my security key that way I'm able to set up my wireless laptop. When I turn on my laptop and click on "connect to a network" it does show my SSID name that I've created and when I try to connect it says, "Can not connect to (SSID)" after a few seconds of trying and keeps doing that.
I’ve set up my SSID for WPA2/AES security. However, I was at one time able to connect online wirelessly and it worked like a charm even when I was far away from the router until I powered down my laptop and brought it back up again and it's giving me that same message. It's like it just works sporadically but 98% of the time it just gives me that "Can not connect" message each time.
Here are a few specs. on my new laptop that might help: I have AT&T DSL 6.0 meg. service. My wireless card on my laptop is an Atheros 802.11 b/g/n. Windows 7 is installed on it.
I've also reset the AT&T modem and router and started from scratch twice and still gives me the same message. I am totally lost on what to do. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks!

Open the linksys setup page and click on the Wireless tab...For 2.4GHz...Set the Radio Band to Wide-40MHz and change the Wide channel to 9 and Standard Channel to 11-2.462GHz..For 5GHz....Set the Radio Band to Wide-40MHz and change the Wide channel to159 and Standard Channel to 161-5.805GHz...Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box for both the band..Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on save settings...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2307 and Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

Why isn't my ipod and iphone not connecting to my new laptop on my itunes that i have downloaded

I do not understand why my ipod and iphone not connecting to my new laptop that I got for Christmas. It did for a while and now its not. My itunes is up to date and so is my phone and ipod. Why isn't my itunes finding/syncing my ipod and iphone?!

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Sync with new computer
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
That should do it.

Router keeps dropping out!!

over recent weeks my sky broadband has been dropping in and out. Our connection is slow and I'm unable to get any sort of connection at times.
I've tried switching it off and back on, I tried taking all the wires out and putting them back in. I dunno whether we just need to get a new one or what? Can someone help please as I'm starting to get very frustrated. Thanks in advance

If you have lots of crackling on your line then this is what will be causing your broadband issues.
You need to call Sky and report a voice fault(don't mention broadband or the wrong team will get involved)once the crackling issue is fixed your broadband issues should disappear.
If you have either an Apple or Android smartphone then its worth downloading the Sky service app and calling via the app as you can request a call back if the Que is longer than 2 minutes(calls from the app are chargeable at local rates or should be free with any inclusive minutes on both contract and PAYG).

IPhone 5 will not connect to brand new MBA/iTunes. Error message is "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. Could not connect to the device."

Hi!
I've had my iPhone 5 for just over a year now, and I haven't really had any problems since iOS7 was installed. I had a PC, with no connectivity problems between any of my Apple devices. Then FINALLY, I purchased my very first Macbook Air 13". I set it all up, updated all the apps, and made sure it was good to go. My iPhone was really low on battery one day, and I just happened to have my USB for it handy and thought I would just plug it into my computer to charge it. I figured I worry about syncing it later as I hadn't really had time to set it all up with iTunes on the new computer.
MY PHONE WENT CRAZY. It just started vibrating all over the table. Looking at the battery icon, it was flipping between charging and not charging, and occasionally the "do you trust this device" window would pop up on the screen, but it was still going crazy. iTunes opened up and these alerts saying "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. Could not connect to the device." and "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected." All it was doing at this point was using up even more battery. But then the iPhoto app opened by itself on my shiny new Macbook and the vibrating stopped. It was charging and syncing! But not having iPhotos before on a computer weirded me out i hadn't decided exactly what I wanted to do with it, I closed the app. The phone went nuts again. ***. On a different day, I was trying to sync it again, and it worked. But only long enough to back it up on the macbook. W.T.F.
Plugging into any PC is no problem at all. The phone just connects and starts charging.
I've tried just about everything. All of my software is up to date, both on the mac and iphone. The USB cord is fine. I've reset the macbook with it plugged in and not plugged in. I have uninstalled, and reinstalled iTunes with the phone plugged in and not plugged in. I've reset all the contents and settings on my iPhone, as well as did a hard reset with it plugged in and not plugged in. My iPad has no problem connecting and it also has iOS7. It's just so weird though, that it starts connecting/disconnecting interchangeably as soon as I plug it into the computer, even when all my apps are closed. All this is leading me to believe that it must be some sort of issue between the devices' communication to each other. But I'm not sure if it's an iPhone, MacBook, or iTunes issue!
HHHHEEEEELLLLLLPPPPP!!!!!

I had this same problem with my new MBP 15", but only with the USB port on the left side. The USB port on the right side worked fine. Perhaps the ports on the left don't have enough signal energy for the iPhone.
Anyway, try using a different USB port, and if that doesn't work, perhaps you could try a powered USB hub.

Iphone 4 will not connect to Windows 8 Laptop

I have an Iphone 4 and yesterday it connected no problem. The cord is fine, it works with the wall charger. I have reinstalled everything on my laptop, but it still won't connect/charge on my laptop. The laptop is extremely new, about 4 months old, so there's really no reason it shouldn't work. I'm ready to pull my hair out. As I said, it's not the cord, I'm not sure what else to do?

When you connect the iPhone to the computer, do you hear the sound of a USB device being connected? Go to the Device Manager and see if there is anything by any of the USB devices listed. Also, you can go into Task Manager and see if the Apple Mobile Device Service is started/running. One thing about the newer phones and the newer Windows laptops is they take longer to connect. I have noticed that with my Windows 7 device. Also, is the phone locked when you try to make the connection? Are they photos in the Camera Roll? Try unlocking the phone first and then connecting. See if the computer reacts better then.

Imac G5 OS 10.4.11 Itunes not connect, Safari fine, new downloads will not open, new install of 10.4.11.4

Imac G5 OS 10.4.11 Itunes will not connect to radio or store. Errors out check internet connection. Safari connects fine.
New downloads will not open i.e. ms office critical update, nor Filemaker re-validate registration, also new intaller of itunes 9.2.1 etc.
After clean install of 10.4 and all updates same problem.
Other 10.4.11 systems I have work fine on ibook etc.
Can I move the system app that opens .dmg files from OK system to imac? Would that even solve the problem?
Ramon

Podcasts stopped downloading, says not connected to internet but laptop is.

Podcasts stopped downloading. Refresh dosent work. Tried connecting to iStore but error message says computer not connected to internet but it is.

Here are several things that you can try that might help.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Check Settings>General>Date &Time>Set Automatically>On.
Reset your router by unplugging it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in again.

Audio drops out when scrolling playlists after upgrading new version of 9.2

Hi Folks,
Has anyone noticed an issue when scrolling the playlists in Itunes now that the audio drops out for a second.
I use an external USB audio device by Native Instruments called the Audio Kontrol 1.
I have watched the processes on my PC and when I scroll up and down on the playlist. Something spikes causing audio to not play for a second.
I am hoping to fix this somehow as I do not want to roll back (not even sure if you can). I also have heard with dual core processors that occasionally audio can get stopped as other processes take over where in single core processors everything cued up (any truth to that).
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much X & Paul, for your suggestions. Although they didn't solve the problem, they kept me hopeful enough to continue my quest for an answer. After exhausting all effort to find the problem in the audio, I decided to focus on the video. So, I tried correcting the excess luma on the consolidated QT movie, and suddenly the problem was fixed. Because of the different levels of correction I'd need for each and every cut in the original sequence, and the precious time it would take, I'd planned to save it for the color correction stage, a mere 2 weeks away. I remembered how illegal white would often cause the image on some monitors, specifically consumer TVs, to waver for a second. But this was happening all the way back to the DV deck's audio meter, so I never expected it to be a luma issue.
I assume that the outdating capacity of my G4 played a part, but I wanted to write back with my thanks, and to impart my illuminated wisdom to the next perplexed soul.
Thanks again,
jesterhead

Bluetooth will not connect to a new devicd

I have a Bose stereo system with a blut tooth adapter. It connects to mly iphone via bluetooth but my Ipad with retna display will not connect to it. Help...

Yes they have reason to.
To send a file or photo to or from a phone.
Bluetooth does that on any other phone or device.
No point in bluetooth even being in a phone if it cant be used wherever or with what devices i choose.
May as well unistall it.
Craziest thing i have ever heard " it won't connect becasue it has no reason to" it has a reason to send a photo to another device.
I would not have bought these phones if i know that.
Why isnt it in the specs?
"Phone has bluetooth that will not connect because it has no reason to"
What does it have that does not work becasue it has no reason to?
