Cisco Wireless :: WRV210 Strange Log And WiFi Drops And Reboot
Apr 13, 2013
I've a WRV210 Wireless-G VPN Router with RangeBooster, that logs this alert almost every time, "Packet type : 0 -- free socket buffer only".Also each time that some devices, like Android, are connected to the Wifi, the wifi starts a reboot and drop cycle.
Some extra context information, I've connected to the router a Cisco Gigabit switch and all the wired devices are connected to the switch, that could overload the router? Other point I've a Cisco VOIP gateway connected to the router and a few VPN's and firewall rules setup.
we want to replace our 1242 AP's with the 1602 model and so far everything works like a charm. We have just noticed, that most of the clients which are connected on the 5GHz N radio, the web interface of the AP1602 shows his own host name instead of the clients host name.
For example: Radio0-802.11N2.4GHz SSID INTERN : [code].....
The Host name of the 1602 is "AP-LABOR", so why it shows the own host name for the Dell E6420 Notebooks on the 5GHz radio and on some "NONE"?
I have a WRV210 router setup with WPA personal-AES encryption...SSID is turned on. The issue is that workstations lose connectivity to the internet and to a mapped network drive on the server. When this happens I find that the wireless status shows "connected", along with excellent signal strength. It never happens when logging on, just after so many minutes. The simple remedy is to repair wireless connection but we would like to not have to resort to this behavior every day. Further, I found that within the repair connection sequence that deleting the address resolution protocol table, brings the internet and the ability to access a mapped network drive back. I even used a program called arpfreeze to assign static ip's to the arp table and I still had to repair wireless connection. It does not matter where the workstations are placed, whether sitting 50 feet away or 5 feet from the router, the workstations lose the ability to access internet and mapped drive while showing "connected" and excellent signal strength. Otherwise, we are looking at running ethernet cables through the building (Not easy).
My Wi-fi on my rig seems to have some odd problems. When I'm gaming i often get a lag spike every 10-20 second or so, and before I got the "Vista anti-lag" program I was also getting the enormous 60 second lag spike. I'm sure many Vista users recognize this problem. But here is the deal, the first kind of lag spikes completely disappear while talking on Skype! Which makes me wonder, what is it with Skype (only while talking) that removes the lag? Gaming with Skype makes all games run fluently without any spikes at all.
I recently installed a Cisco X2000. Several PCs running Windows XP Pro connect wirelessly. Also, we have an Android device and iPhone connected to the wireless network. We have a network printer and network drive connected via wires to the router. Most of the time the router and cable modem features work well. However, every so often all devices lose wireless signal simultaneously. It is not possible to reconnect to the X2000 unless I unplug the X2000 and plug it back in. After this reboot, we can connect again. Obviously, this is quite frustrating. By the way, we get acceptable signal strength after the X2000 locks out however none of the devices (computers or phones) are able to connect.

I have a big problem with several TP-Link routers (WDR3600, WR1043ND, WR741ND), always with the latest firmware and also with older ones. After a day or so, my internet & network connection will drop all of a sudden and all the routers need a reboot. There is no indication on what provoces these lock-ups. The routers can handle heavy traffic (bittorrent /w 100s of connections) but will stop working when browsing casually. The web-GUI will become unreachable. No pings to the outside are possible anymore, not even to direct IPs (8.8.8.8 for example). No pings to devices in the same network are possible either.
I am running an E3000 router with 1.0.04 build 6 Dec 6, 2010 firmware. I have two computers on a wired Gigabit LAN and others on WiFi (802.11g). At first, all works well and I get normal throughput via the WiFi computers.However, after about a week, WiFi speeds crawl to a fraction of what I normally get (from 12-13 Mbps down to 1-2 Mbps and from 4.8 Mbps up to less than 1 Mbps). My cable modem service is 40 Mbps down and 5 Mbps up (I get 38.9 down and 4.9 up via the LAN based computers)
How I resolve this? I need to reboot the router! Once it comes back on-line, my throughput on WiFi is restored UNTIL the following week where speeds are back to a crawl. While WiFi crawls, the LAN based computers still enjoy maximum throughput.
I have used our home network with an apple iOS baby monitor app for a year without issues. An iPod is the transmitter and broadcasts the signal on my home network. Any other iOS device can pick up the signal when on "receiver" mode. This app worked great for over a year, but recently the app drops out after 1-3 hours. The dropped device also cannot get to the internet via Safari or communicate via the app. The WRT160Nv2 router indicates that the devices are still connected and the iOS devices indicate they are still connected, but they cannot communicate.
To fix the issue, I simply toggle the unit to/from airplane mode. This disables/enables the wifi and the unit jumps right back on the network and all is well. This is a pain though when the baby monitor drops in the middle of the night and we have to walk to the baby's room.
I have tried to recreate the issue with other video steaming (iphone video to appleTV), but I have not found the issue with any other app. Maybe I just have not run the movie long enough (3 hours+) like I do with the baby monitor app at night. Are there any wifi router timing or other settings that could cause something like this?
I have a WRT310N V2 wireless router, with a WMP600N dual-band PCI card in my computer, using Vista 64x. I have had the same set-up for the past year or so, even after moving to a new apt, which I have been in now for 3 months. It has worked perfectly, up till recently. Over the past week however, my router has been dropping the connection, to the point of having to wait for it to show back up in my connections list. I made no changes to my setup, prior to the problems. I am kind of doubting it's my wireless card, as I can still see other routers. I have tried changing the MTU size, the Threshold, made sure the firmware was up to date, etc. I re-installed the drivers for my NIC and even changed ports, just to be on the safe side. I don't know what else to do, except go out and get another router. I have to use wireless, as I have nowhere to run cables at. I had this problem before with a Linksys wireless router, but figured it was due to the extreme amount of bandwidth my game uses online. Ironically, both routers are doing the same thing. They hit lag every 60 seconds almost on the money. I'm a gamer, so this is a huge inconvenience for me.
I'm having the following issue with a couple of 1231's.
Some overall config info first:
This is a small office with 2x Catalyst 2950 (24-port, no PoE) switches and 4 AP1231G (autonomous). The APs get PoE from a PWRINJ3 each. The injectors are powered by the AP power supplies. Injectors and power supplies are mounted in the patch closet.
The 2 switches are connected together over 4 ports (20-23 on each switch), these ports are set to 1Q Trunk mode.
The APs are connected to the switches, 2 to each switch, on port 1-2. These ports again are configured as 1Q Trunk.
All this has been working without problems for a number of years.
A few weeks back, AP2 did not restart after a power cut (everything else did). All LEDs are off, port on switch has no LEDs lit. I did not get around to investigating this furtehr until last week. I unmounted (failed) AP2, took it to the spot where (working) AP3 hangs, and plugged it to the cable of AP3. AP2 came to life immediately. I unplugged it and plugged AP3 back in, which restarted immediately.
So I suspect a power supply issue on AP2. I took the injector and power supply that fed AP2 out of the patch closet. When connecting AP2 directly to the power supply, it came to life immediately. So I figure the injector is defective.
On the same day, I notice AP4 is also dead (again all LEDs off, no idea how long, could have been that day or could have been a few days - it has definitely been working after the power cut that appeared to have killed AP2).
So I order 2 new PWRINJ3s and for good measure 2 new power supplies. Later that day, I took the injector and power supply that fed AP4 out of the patch closet. When I try this combination (AP4, injector4 and P/S4), and connect it to a different wall outlet (and therefore a different port -16 - on the switch) IT WORKS! Should have triggered questions, but did not immediately.
Last Thursday I got the new injectors and power supplies. So I take one of each, hook them upto AP2 at my desk, and AP2 starts up. So I mount new injector2 and new P/S2 in the patch closet, put AP2 back in its place, connect all the cables - NOTHING. AP2 does not start. The "power" LED on the injecvtor lights up green, the "device status" LED remains off. I take AP2, new injector2 and new P/S2 to my desk, hook them upto a wall outlet (connected to switch port 17). AP2 starts immediately.
Meanwhile AP3 has (also) stopped working (no LEDs on at all). As far as I can tell, it stopped working after I briefly disconnected (and reconnected) the patch cable between injector3 and the patch panel in the patch closet. The LEDs on switch port 1 are off.
I have since tried to power cycle both switches (took power off both, waited a while, poewerd both back on). No change.
PS: the APs ran firmware 12.3(8)-JA until recently. AP1, AP3 and AP4 were upgraded to 12.3(8)-JEE after the the power cut that took AP2 out. THis is when I found out AP2 was dead. AP2 was still on 12.3(8)-JA. It was upgraded to 12.3(8)-JEE last week when it was on direct power on my desk.
Our costumers has implemented 2 AIR-WLC4402-50-K9 with Software Release 7.0.98.0, the wireless infrastructure consist in 2 Root-Mesh-LAP and 8 Mesh connect over-the-air to deploy outdoor coverage.
All the LAP are Aironet 1520 Series Mesh Access Points with equipped with 3 antennas for 2.4GHz and 1 antenna for 5GHz (backhaul).For one year all seems to be ok, yesterday after a power outage of one Mesh-Root-LAP, 5 Mesh-Lap continues reload each 10-12 minutes, on the WLC Log you can see event like a reboot from AP Console, on the LAP console i can capture this event before the reload:
Log on LAP Mesh %DOT11-6-GEN_ERROR: Error on Dot11Radio0 - Not Beaconing for too long - Current 0 Last 0 %SYS-5-RELOAD: Reload requested by Dot11 driver. Reload Reason: Radio Not Beaconing for too long .... LWAPP-5-CHANGED: CAPWAP changed state to DOWN AP1780-Mesh uptime is 11 hours, 10 minutes System returned to ROM by power spike %DOT11-6-GEN_ERROR: Error on Dot11Radio0 - Not Beaconing for too long - Current 0 Last 0%SYS-5-RELOAD: Reload requested by Dot11 driver. Reload Reason:Radio Not Beaconing for too long ....*Sep 1 16:05:43.399: %LWAPP-5-CHANGED: CAPWAP changed state to DOWN
What does it mean? That the beacon signal trasmitted from Root-Mesh-LAP cannot reach the Mesh-Lap and so the Mesh-LAP force a reload?Where we should search the cause? In the power instability or in a interference on the 5GHz radio interface?
On one of mesh Lap I found a strange reason for a releoad:AP1780-Mesh uptime is 11 hours, 10 minutesSystem returned to ROM by power spike

A friend of mine has experienced a crash with her Toshiba Satellite while watching a vid on the net.It froze completely so she did a battery pull and re-booted the system.After booting up Windows 7 after the password screen the laptop crashed completely.
The same problem occurred once again so she loaded Windows in safe mode with networking. The computer seemed to function normally so she rebooted into normal mode.Since then everything appears to be functioning except the Wifi (that was used in conjunction with an ADSL net connection).The LED where the Wifi switch is no longer lights up and no Wifi connection can be made.I suspect that as a result of the initial crash the connection settings may have been reset but perhaps the Wifi in the laptop itself has just died and needs to be repaired.
I know it could just be corrupted drivers or something - I updated the drivers for something called "Microsoft Virtual Wifi Miniport Adapter" using the auto update feature in Windows Device Manager but it didn't solve the problem.
This is another E3000 "connection drops" thread. Some background: I have two E3000's that are cascaded. The main router is in my basement connected to my cable modem and is my DHCP server. The second one is on the main floor and provides my wireless signal (no DHCP, and is hard connected to the main router).I have lots of connection drops with the wireless router on the main floor. Lately I have noticed a trend, though. My connection drops mostly when I browse my network (usually browsing pictures on another computer) or when large files or videos are being transferred. If I connect a cable, I have no problems. When wireless, I have signal drops.I have tried every trick and tip that I've seen on this forum or been provided in the Linksys FAQ. I've changed the beacon interval, fragmentation threshold to 2306 and CTS to 2307, I've tried changing channels, I've checked and unchecked boxes for NAT, Filters, etc. I've tried different combinations of WPA2 passwords. I've tried dynamic routing, static routing, blah blah blah...
When I set the 5Ghz channel to Auto(DFS) it defaults to channel 36 and 144Mbps. When I use other channels, I get 300Mbps. Either way, my connections still drops.
I have the latest firmware 1.0.04 Build 6.I even have the router sitting on top of a laptop cooling pad to keep it cool.No matter what I do, as soon as I start browsing my network the wireless connection drops.I am so frustrated! I upgraded my WRT-160N to this E-300 router to get the faster speed and dual band but have had nothing but trouble. I never had a connection drop with my 160N.
EDIT: I notice that when my signal drops, I can see the power LED blinking on the router, like it's going through a reboot cycle.
I own a CISCO Linksys 3500 router I use in my home. Every time there is a power outage, the router stops working. The only way I have managed to get it to restart is to remove the software, disconnect the router and then re installed and set up the router again
WiFi drops 80% packets from new computers (Win7, IPv4 andIPv6 enabled) to reliable internet hosts. WiFi is OK (0% loss) from new computers to E1200 itself (ping E1200 IP address).Old computers, mobile devices, and wired are OK to reliable internet hosts.Basic Wireless Settings are Mixed, Auto Channel Width. Wireless Security is set to WPA2/WPA Mixed Mode. Guest Access enabled.
I have a Panasonic Viera plasma tv (with no Wi-Fi) and as soon as i turn it on my wireless internet drops. It is a d-link 615 with a netgear modem attached. i cant find anything on the internet about it, have even tried changing every channel on the router and still no luck
I have searched the forums, and can see that I am not the only one with speed problems on this router. When I changed from a D-link dir-615 (yeah, no wonder I changed it ) my download speed dropped from 4-5 MB/s to 1,3 MB/s. I'm using a wired connection. Have tried disabling QoS in router settings, did a firmware upgrade, reset the router. You see, when I do speed tests on the internet I get 40-50 mbits download, 25-30 mbits upload. I have tried many different files to download, both torrents and through my browser.
I've been experiencing a strange, repeatable behavior with my Linksys E1000. I have several wireless and wired devices connected to my E1000:
Wired: TivoHD, Sony BluRay Player, Sony TV, Windows XP Wireless: Lenovo Laptop (Windows 7), HP Laptop (Windows 7), 3 iPods, 2 iPhones
When I try to copy large files (~ 4GB) from my (wired) Windows XP box to either of my (wireless) laptops, the Linksys drops my WiFi network -- but the wired connections continue to work (including internet access). Copying the same/similar file from a WiFi device to a wired device appears to work correctly, as does copying from WiFi to WiFi.
To be clear, my WiFi network "disappears" -- it is no longer listed as an available network (as opposed to just dropping internet connectivity for WiFi). Unplugging the router and plugging it back in brings my WiFi network back up.
I have been able to repeat this issue with multiple files over the course of several weeks, and it happens about 75% of the time (i.e., I am occassionally able to complete a file copy from wired LAN to WiFi).
A little bit of background: I resurrected an old Windows XP box and am using it for shared network storage. I copied about 400 GB of files from my laptops to the XP box (WiFi to wired) with no issues at all. Pulling the same files back from XP to my laptops (wired to WiFi) has been causing the issue described above.
I purchased two linksys wrv210 routers and the firmware seems to be damaged. The dhcp server for the router is not working and even if i configure a static ip address on my notebook. I still can access the router via the web interface. I have already tried to reset the router to its default settings via the reset button but that proved to be useless. Can the firmware be reloaded via tftp?
I try to connect those part : 1 WRV210 and 1 EZXS88W.Both of them work fine. But, i can not see it on the network, even in wrv210 management console.I plug the cable in port 1 of wrv210 and then in "uplink" of ezxs88w. In the managment console, it's say "Port 1 Disabled".Is there any way to change this configuration ?
just trying to set up my Signal Booster VPN WRV210 -- no connection to the internet happens when I connect it all like the the Quick Start Guide tells me to connect first my AT&T DSL modem to the power, then the new VPN router, then the PC with a hard wire ethernet connection.
I'm looking for support on why I'm always loosing my internet conection due to my WRV210 Router.
This is being used in a business, and it has the most up to date Firmware, I'm also using a spliter hub which was making things work better, but now it seems about every second day I have to unplug the router only and my connection is back..
I need to configure a vpn on a Cisco WRV210 Wireless-G VPN Router - RangeBooster, i have five users that are going to connect to a file server. the file server access is all set i just need a step by step document to configure the vpn screens on the router.
I purchased an WRV210 to set up as a wireless access point on our office network, to replace an older competitor's unit. Since we already have DHCP on the network, I've elected to attempt to configure this device using my own laptop. Here are the steps I've taken, which is approximately the same steps as the pamphlet lays out:
1) connect my laptop to one of the four ethernet ports on the back of the router
2) power up the router (I've disabled my wireless on my laptop, btw)
3) open a browser and type "192.168.1.1"
nothing comes up. It cannot connect.
So I pulled up a command prompt and pinged 192.168.1.1. No answer.
So, then I pulled up the ethernet adapter configuration, and set the adapter to the following:
IP address: 192.168.1.31Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Default gateway: (left blank)
still no response from the unit. So then I assigned the default gateway to the address of the router, 192.168.1.1. Still no response.
I recently switched operating systems from XP to Windows 7. Since that time whenever I need to reboot the router, it does not recognize my printer. How do I set the router to a static ip address and will that affect its recognition of my computer? I have had no problems with computer recognition, only printer.
- Small Home-Office network based on a Cisco WRV210 VPN Router connected to another WRV210 in a remote location. - The WRV210 provides 2 WAP-protected SSIDs, one for the office network and one for visitors - Wireless channel is set 5 channels away of the closest networks (using inSSIDer) - There are about 12 wireless devices, 4 connected to the office network the rest to visitors. Not all devices are connected at the time of failure. All wireless devices use DHCP which is set to last 1 day and provide 100 IPs. - The wireless devices are 1 desktop, 3 notebooks (all clean), iPads, iTouch and Nook. - The failure symptom is that almost daily, and most likely around the same time, no wireless device can connect to any of the SSIDs unless the router is power-cycled. During the failures, which we have witnessed first hand, there are no apparent reasons: no new SSIDs, now SSID in close range on the same channels, nothing we can easily observed in the network in terms of connections or unusual activity. - A weirdo also presented by the WRV210 was that its web pages were shown erratically. That was corrected by downgrading the firmware from the latest to previous version.
We have used a loaner Linksys router WRT54GC with only the visitor Network on it and even though the situation is not as frequent, it has happened already a couple of times.The WRV210 is out of warranty and discontinued, so we get no support from Cisco that is worth paying for.
I have tested internet speed on Ethernet (~20 Mbps), but when I'm connected via wifi network, it drops down to ~11 ? The speed is same on all wireless devices even when I sitting next to the wifi router.
Just three days ago, all of a sudden, my net drops off every 20secs like clockwork, only affecting the wireless.At the moment, my router is connected to the modem, and my computer upstairs is running through the wireless connection from the router (not the modem) - though it makes no difference the problem happens with either.
I just got a WRV 210 wireless router (three of them actually, planning to set up a VPN). But I can't set the admin password. I've tried 4 times, and every time, i've got to hold the reset button to reset to factory settings in order to access the management pages! I enter the new password in both fields, and then click to save the settings. It restarts. Then i try to log in - and it doesn't accept the new password. It doesn't accept the default password. I've tried with admin/(new password) and (new password)/(new password), and admin/admin. None of them work, forcing me to reset router to factory settings. I've tried a password composed of 6 letters followed by a . Thinking that maybe the . was throwing it off, I tried 6 letters followed by 3 numbers. That doesn't work either. I've updated to firmware version 2.0.1.5. No luck.
How to forward a single port to a different port to a specific computer for the WRV210 router?
I would like to forward port 10100 to port 25 to my mail server. There are times when our people are at a hotel and they block port 25 and I have done this in the past on a BEFSR11 and BEFSR41 router. There does not seem to be a Single Port Forwarding setup page and the Port Forwarding setup page only allows you to forward a range to a specific computer, it does not give you a different port you can assign an incoming port to.
I have the most current firmware revision, 2.0.0.11, and Hardware Version WRTR-221G_V01.
I have a WiFi Linksys. I am using a Macbook Silver. This has begun recently, every few hours, the internet connection will drop. The only way I can get it back up is to unplug the wifi and plug it back.
My net drops off every 20secs like clockwork, only affecting the wireless.I bought a new router yesterday to see if that would work, but it hasn't. At the moment, my router is connected to the modem, and my computer upstairs is running through the wireless connection from the router (not the modem)
My router is a NetGear N600 Wireless Dual Band... and my modem is a NetGear Rangemax wireless My computer is running Windows 7 and has a Realtek RTL8191SU Wireless LAN 802.11n USB 2.0 Network Adapter(im connecting to my network via the 2.4ghz... not the 5ghz)I've tried doing the whole, ipconfig/ release
