WRTU54G-TM router loses internet connection and needs to be restarted to regain connection.
We recently switched from a WRT54G to a WRTU54G-TM router from T-mobile and the new router seems to randomly lose our internet connection and needs to be restarted to regain it. It could be coincidence but this has happened a couple of times immediately after using our VoIP phone connected to it. I tried switching back to the old router and everything worked fine once again. Typically with the WRTU54G-TM it will stay connected for about a day or so and then it will need to be restarted. Although sometimes it will need to be restarted multiple times in one day. Just curious if anyone had any quick suggestions or setting configurations that I may have missed?
Thanks for your input.

I just added the T-Mobile@Home service and set up a WRTU54G-TM this past Saturday. During the first 4 days, the blue light on the router went out and I lost phone service - until rebooting the router each time. Phone service returned about a minute after rebooting in each case.
I did NOT lose Internet service while phone service was down.
I reached T-Mobile customer care the second time, and the rep I spoke with mentioned that she had a couple of other calls similar to mine earlier in the day. So far, the reps had no official word regarding this problem, and the word going around was simply to tell people to reboot their routers.
Tech Support had about a 20 minute hold queue, so I didn't yet to speak with a technician.
The phone service has been up for the past 2 days -- curious to see how long it holds up this time. Also checking the Linksys site regularly to see if new firmware (beyond the 1.00.04 I have loaded) becomes available - maybe that will address the problem.
When I complained to customer care, the one thing they did was to extend my "buyer's remorse period" to 30 days (instead of the usual 14). So I plan to hang on for another couple of weeks to see if this gets straightened out. I love the service, sound quality and price. Hoping it works out - I want to keep this!

My WRT54G v5 router loses internet connection frequently
My WRT54G v5 router loses internet connection frequently. Sometimes occurs when you enter a web or sometimes every few minutes, but without a pattern. I have W XP Pro with SP3 and I have a pc wired to the router and sometimes 2 notebook with Wi-Fi. What could be the problem?. Thank you very much.
I have upgraded the firmware to v 1.02.8 and reduced the MTU to 1350 but after a few minutes of doing that I had the same problem... The router reboots itself, again and again and again...
It's possible to run some diagnostic utility that somebody can check ??
It's possible it would be a router failure ??
I note that sometimes is ok and when Entering some web pages the router reboots itself and I loose my internet connection, but others, the router reboots for no apparent reason...
I dont know what to do... -
I have iPhone 4. After I upgraded to ios5 I have a problem with Wi-Fi connection with "WPA enterprize" protection. I can define the connection and everything works fine. But after I lose signal or shutoff the WiFi, I cannot re-connect, and need re-define the net. It is only in WPA enterprize.
Thanks,
EyalI tried this! Somebody suggested it in another thread. It did not work, sadly.

If we replace our Time Capsule, what is the best way to handle the data stored on the old TC?
Archive the material via airport utility (old v5 not v6).. to a USB drive of suitable size for all the data.
Do this before the TC dies. Once dead you will have no choice but to repair it.. or to open and remove the HD and put it in a holder. -

My HP (USB connected) and Epson (wireless) printers keep losing their connection with my Mac mini. I have to physically disconnect the HP and then reconnect for the Mac to find it. Turning off the wireless Epson doesn't resolve anything. All software/drivers have been updated.

Airport express loses connection and blinks amber until restarted many times a day.
I have an AirPort Extreme as my,main router with a gen 1 airport express and 2 gen 2 express as range extenders to cover all 3 floors and outdoor area. I have an Insteon HUB connected to one 2nd generation express and an Insteon IP camera that is on the far edge of the WiFi coverage area. About 3-5 times daily, the express will blink amber and lose connection. I need to either restart the network from airport utility or just unplug and restart the specific express. This fixes the problem but only temporarily. Why does this occur? Is it due to the wireless camera losing connection? It seems to occur when I try to access the camera or devices thru the Insteon App. I have purchased the additional express thinking it was a poor connection to the other range extender but this has made no difference. I have been on tech support with Insteon for many hours,and they are unable to help. Any suggestions?
Hello Daniel Epps. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Every few minutes, it seems to temporarily lose its connection to the internet and start flashing amber until it reconnects. It's extremely annoying. Does anyone know why this is happening? Is it an airport problem, or a cable modem problem?
It could be either or neither ...
It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference in the immediate area that is preventing you from getting a good clean signal, and what I would check for first.
I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like the following to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible:

I'm unfamiliear with the proper terms, but I need to change internet providers and don't want to use the new provider's address. I understand that I can use an Apple address for 3 addresses. Help!
Heard it in conversations. I'm tryinng to set up e-mail communications for my husband to his computer and 2 for myself (computer and phone) and also would like to use one that's set aside for e-mail ordering, etc. so if my address is sold I won't get so much junk on my regular e-mail.

I have tried using several apps. I get a message, please be sure you are connected to the internet to use this feature. My phone is connected to wifi. Other apps just read "No network connection" What can I do?
Any time you change networking hardware it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle. Check out the following AirPort User Tip for how. Please post back your results.

My ipod touch just keeps searching for a wi-fi connection in my house where it use to connect automatically. My other apple devices still are connecting so not the wi-fi. I have reset to original settings, turned off-on-off-on... nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. (I think you did this)
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My iphone is getting blackout and need to be restarted
my iphone 6 is getting blackout and nee to be restarted! this problem started yesterday and it is continuing
Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not work, connect to your computer in recovery mode, explained here:
