My internet, after a few seconds of working right, craps out on me and I cannot figure out why. I am tempted to purchase a new adapter.My ISP is Comcast, I'm using T1, and I run AVG.
I've been using a second-hand PC for the past year. It has had persistent issues connecting to my WiFi. Other computers in the house connect without difficulty.At first I thought the dongle was responsible, so I replaced it with a more expensive one -- Netgear WNA1100. Symptoms vary, but it typically disconnects without warning, sometimes followed by announcing that the USB device is not recognised. Sometimes this can be solved by removing the dongle and inserting it in a different port, though the port itself does not seem to matter. At other times, I've had to uninstall and reinstall the driver software. Exasperating, obviously.
It is crashing my machine.Last week my hard disk died (or so the man in the computer shop told me). Because I only need this machine for my PhD work, I chose to replace the hard disk with one that was left over from an upgrade (cheaper and theoretically adequate -- I have a 12-month warranty for it). All the other hardware was checked before leaving the shop, XP reinstalled etc.Yesterday I got the computer back and started reinstalling various software. But the wifi stopped working, so I reinstalled again, and during the process my machine 'stopped' -- this was a blue-screen event and the next restart failed.the machine started again today, and connected to my network. But then the machine crashed again.
So far I have:
-- run an antivirus check (nothing)
-- updated the driver (once I got online)
-- run a disc check (using the 'Automatically fix file system errors' on C:/ drive, this involved a restart)
-- began running a full system check ('Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors') but the last crash happened during phase 4
-- the Microsoft error reports have produced nothing
So I'm at a loss. There seems to be no point reinstalling any more software till this is sorted.[Obviously I will be taking it back to the shop if I can't resolve myself since there's also a new issue with the system audio.]Here's data sent with the error report from the first crash:
I have a Netgear Wireless Adapter WNA1100 and I'm trying to connect my 2nd desktop comp using it. I'm having trouble staying connected. The wireless connection says 100% but when I ope IE and yahoo homepage comes up it only stays connected for a sec and it says "unable to stay connect, do you wish to work offline" then it automatically put in offline mode, which doesnt work. Now it's saying IE cannot display webpage.
My laptop is connected to an Internet cable inside my apartment building for access to a free Internet service provided by the building management.The high speed cable service works okay for a few days but then after say 4 or 5 days it starts to slow down and then on the 6th or 7 day I can no longer connect using the cable. The technician in my building doesnt speak such good English and claims it is a software problem in Windows itself in my laptop ,but I don't know what would cause the software to trigger this condition?The last time the technician told me to go through some steps but I have to admit I have forgotten the very last ones in the " procedure " and how to complete the final steps of the procedure :-
He said to :-
1. Right click on the computer icon on the desktop
2. click on device manager
2. click on " network adapters " these are shown as being " Atheros AR8152/8158 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller ( NDIS 6.20 ) and secondly " Realtek RTL8188CE Wireless LAN 802.11 PCI-E NIC "
4. After that he told me to " refresh " the connection but I have forgotten how to do so?The wireless connection is working okay but I have noticed once this fault happens to the cable connection, the wireless connection doesn't work either until I unplug the cable. Then I can connect to the wireless Internet connection. But if I leave the cable in then neither the cable or the wireless works?
I have a Dell XPS 17 and I am having trouble with the wi-fi. It always connects and works, but is very inconsistent. It will speed up and slow down for no apparent reason. I ran a speed test and it will go from 40mbps to 2mbps. This does not happen on any other device connected to the wireless in the house. It does not happen when the laptop is connected directly. I also purchased a USB wireless adapter and do not have any problems when connecting wirelessly that way.A new modem and router have not changed the problem.I am 100% sure it is the wireless receiver in the laptop itself.
I'm renting accommodation, so I don't have direct access to the router etc.It's a Belkin (who I understand to be a pile of ****) router.The ping is mostly 6-8ms, but ~10% of the time it spikes to >100ms.This is way too high for a router right? Surely it should be like, 1ms.Wireless connection.It broadcasts two SSIDs (one is the other but with 5ghz appended).
I have a fairly large area to cover with wireless, and set up a second router to act as a repeater. The signal works great, other than being extremely inconsistent. Sometimes I get a speedtest of 18 ping and 7 mbps DL to a nearby server, and 10 seconds later it's 300 ping and 2 mbps. There are no problems when using the primary access point without the repeater. Where should I start in troubleshooting? I can't see why there would be such terrible consistency since much of the time the signal strength is fine. It's purely a problem of dropping the connection often.
I have full wi-fi signal and I have a fast broadband connection. Every now and again the connection speed to just one PC drops to a point where there is almost no activity. I get various "connection timed out" and "DNS lookup failed" errors, then after about 10 minutes of frustration everything works again. I know this problem is isolated to just this one PC as I have done Internet speed tests from another computer. I have tried using different wireless cards, resetting the router, changing DNS servers. Nothing has worked.
i have high speed internet from charter(i know they are not the best but more on that later) with actually download speeds tested online around 10-13mbps on average. i keep my computer pretty clean, running smart defrag, cleaning the disk, anti virus, only have programs running in the background that are needed, have increased my virtual memory and also use readyboost with a 4 gb flashdrive that i allow to use all the flashdrive memory as "ram" memory. so i think this has be something below the surface and that i cannot handle on my own. i do not think it is my internet provider because i have to roommates that have computer and they have no problem usually with the internet. when i say usually i mean they have problems sometimes maybe 3-4 times weekly where i have problems at least 2-3 times a day.
I had a power surge caused by the local electrical provider on February 3, 2011. Since then my computer power source was replaced and the computer works okay. Since the power surge my speed to uploading and downloading on the internet is inconsistent. Time Warner, my internet provider, said it was an internet problem and they replaced the modem, and have worked on their lines multiple times and now say it's a computer problem, not with their wiring. Yesterday I could not get an upload or download signal at all. This morning my download was 29.23 and upload 1.91. Some days it will take 4-5 yours to send an e-mail. I don't know what to do.
we just switched to a DIR-655 from a terrible Rosewill router a few weeks ago. We've been having some problems, and I've been trying desperatly to figure out what exactly is causing them so I can fix it.
Problem: The router will periodically, and seemingly at random, dive into huge latency spikes. As of writing this, I am running a one thousand ping latency run from CMD, and I've watched response times go from 15ms average to 300ms average. The time of day seems irrelevant, as is what anyone on the network is doing. After a fresh restart of the router, everything runs smoothly for about 10 minutes, at which point everything goes ham.
Details: I am using a DIR-655 D-Link router with a Cisco DPC3008 modem provided by Comcast. Router P/N: BIR655ANA....B1 Router S/N: F35F5BC0019A777 Router Firmware: 2.10NA Connection Type: DHCP
I've run the Modem directly into my PC, the connection is perfect. I've hard resetted multiple times, as well as run it with all of the above settings on/off. Updating the firmware does nothing. I've moved the router/modem apart so as not to cause signal interference.
Things I Can Try I want to try running the router with wireless disabled to see if some sort of interference is being caused by the other computers on the network, or if one of them is hogging bandwidth. I want to try running a program that can monitor or analyze each stage of the connection to see where the problem is. I want to downgrade to an earlier firmware.
For months now, my ping has been randomly spiking at an inconsistent rate. I can be good for an hour, and down for a week. My usual ping is a solid 15, but it has gone as high as 1000. I've gotten a new modem, and that has changed the problem a little bit(I no longer suffer extreme download and upload loss when my ping drops) but I have yet to find a fix for the problem.
My company just bough me another Dell Latitude 6530 with Dell wireless 1540 half card previously I am using Dell Latitude 6520 with Intel Centrino Ultimate N 6300 without any problem
but this new Dell 6530 wifi connection is pretty slow and inconsistent -- I may got burst of high speed / performance for few seconds but pretty much all time is slow.I ran both the old 6520 and new 6530 side by side as I am transferring file and downloading new software, so I can tell for sure that this new 6530 has some issues.
1. Update the drivers for Dell wireless 1540 using this link [URL]
2. Set the power management to high performance, disable power management for the wireless card as well
3. Turn off "Allow computer to save power" in the wireless card adapter settings
Webpages sometimes load quite sluggish and when playing an online game I am experiencing much more lag. However, if I try loading the same webpages a few minutes later, they will being loading fast again. It seems as if my internet is periodically slowing down. Using speedtest.net, it shows 10Mbps download and 9Mbps upload. However, sometimes when I run speedtest again, the download portion will hang and the test won't complete.My internet provider is COX Communications. I do not think I am using a router as it is university provided internet so I connect my Ethernet directly into the wall jack.
I have a linksys wrt54g wireless router and a few weeks ago my wireless connection started to become inconsistent, it would randomly drop service or be very slow, and now it has become very inconsistent and slow, all the while the wireless signal would be 4-5 bars.On my windows 7 desktop, often times the yellow triangle with the exclamation mark pops up over the signal strength indicator when its at 4-5 bars.I've tried changing to 2 different routers and its the same, and the problem is persistent for all computers in the house.I've connected directly via ethernet to the modem and router and service was fine.There are a few wireless networks in the area,some with quite strong signals, but I downloaded the xirrus wifi inspector and it says I'm not sharing a channel (channel 1) and though I'm ~15ft from the router, the signal is ~65dbm, which seems low and is almost equivalent to neighbor's wireless strength.
I have created 7 QuickVPN users on router and on QuickVPN client. They all work except two. Have deleted and reinstalled on router and in QuickVPN to no avail. Changing the user name by one letter works (eg user NameVPN doesn't work, but NameVP does). Somehow router (I think) is not releasing user credentials/policies (which seems to agree with log). I have rebooted router.
I have a problem with my isa570. Ever since I started using it it sometimes takes me two or three clicks to get a website to load. Also connecting to iTunes is almost impossible. It does work sometimes but then very slowly. I have switched off application control.
I've multiple FWSMs running. The funny thing: When I do a "show resource usage" I have one blade showing a "Conns [rate]" and "Syslogs [rate]" values and one blade isn't.
All modules are running the same software version 3.2(10).And the even more funny thing is: on one blade I have different output for all the contexts on it.What's the reason for that behaviour? A bug?
I have two switches claiming to be the root bridge for the same vlans. The 3750-X stack was configured to be the root for vlans present and the 2960S was brought online over the weekend to replace another one. This is the command I used to attempt and make the 3750-X stack the root

Wireless card is Dell Wirele4ss 1490 Dual Band WLAN Mini-Card
Each time I try to launch the Dell WLAN Utility I get a message:
"Internal configuration is inconsistent. Please restart the machine to resolve the problem."
Restarting does not solve the problem.
The wireless card connects fine with Windows managing the connection. But what about the Dell Utility? What can be done so it will launch and I can let it manage the wireless connections?
I have reinstalled the Driver and utility using R115319.EXE
I have a Netgear wgr614v7 wireless router that has been working perfectly for a couple weeks now, but I have suddenly run into a problem. For some reason, I can now only connect one laptop at a time to the network. When I try to connect a second laptop, it says, "Windows was unable to connect to [network name]". When I try to connect with my Macbook, it says "network timed out".
I have installed the netgear N900 dual band which is 99� and is working fine on 2.45ghz because I have a belkin g range extender as my house is very long. So everything is working and my computer works but every so often the Internet drops so the modem needs turned on and off to get back on the Internet even though my computer says its connected but not loading any pages. It works fine for a while then sometimes drops, it works fine until I use my Mac books or iMac but works fine with iPhones? What can I do ?
Mediacom is my cable provider. They came out a few months ago and thought the problem was their Motorola modem. They replaced it with an RCA (Thomsen) which worked great for about 3 months.Now (3/13) I am losing my connection at least once a day.I started to download the new Netgear Firmware update, but in the middle of that, you guessed it, the connection dropped. So now my router is useless. There's probably a way to reset it, but I haven't found that yet. And so far the Netgear phone # is locked inside the router somewhere! I'm hard-wired to the RCA modem now, so we'll see. I have a feeling, after reading the previous thread, that my connection will be fine.I have my own cable modem, needed for a previous cable provider, and a new Netgear N600 2-frequency router.
I currently have a Netgear dgn2200 n300 wireless router (acts as a modem, you know all in one thing), and I have configured the settings on it so I can have an open nat type/port forwarded for gaming and so on. I have my xbox and the desktop connected to it via ethernet and my ipod and laptop connected wireless.
The problem is that the internet just drops out for a couple of mins every hour or so whether I or whoever is on it or not. I have tried changing the cables and filter for the phone line but nothing has seemed to work. Occasionally when the internet drops out it doesn't come back on so I have to unplug the router and so on to get it to work.
It's just starting to get annoying getting disconnected so often especially when the router cost like $200 and is supposed to be good for gaming and stuff, and I can't seem to find out why or isolate the problem. My internet download speed is fairly quick (I can get 1.5mb/s say when downloading a movie/hd youtube) and I get 70 GB a month.
I bought a Netgear wnr2000v3 about a year ago and everything was running fine for months. There are 8 devices connected to the router, 3 directly connected, 2 over wifi and 3 passing a switch.
Now, since approx. a month, it happens like once a week that the connection to the modem crashes and I'm unable to access the internet for about 3-4 hours anymore. I'm still able to connect to the router, where it is stated that there's no internet connection. When I connect a pc directly to the modem, everything is fine, so there doesn't seem to be any problems with my ISP.
I updated to the last firmware, tried it out with only 1 device connected to the router, reset factory defaults, rebuilt the physical setup.. Is there a way to gain access to internal log files?
I have a Netgear DGN2200 router/modem and have been having this problem for a while now. Every so often the internet will cut out for roughly 30-60 seconds. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to the connection losses and they can happen at any time in the day (overall it seems to occur every hour and a half, although it can vary). When the internet connection is lost, the little "!" triangle appears at the bottom right. I still have wireless access to the router itself. It also occurs on both my wired computer and the wireless computer. On the Netgear itself, the internet light will either flash rapidly green, or sometimes turn red for a short while. The Netgear is plugged via a splitter into the telephone socket. the old neatgear we had did the exact same thing before it finally died and no longer worked at all. Hence why we replaced it with this one. I also rang AOL about the problem, who said that there may be a problem with the line and that we should ring BT about it. We had the line checked and apparently the line was fine and was not the cause of the problem. Things I have tried include changing the router channel and I have tried changing the splitter in case that was faulty. Do you think it could be a DSL problem on AOL's end? It's possible that the drops coincided with a free upgrade they gave us for faster internet, although time-wise I'm not entirely sure.
I just recieved the netgear modem model 7550 from frontier. when i try to connect to the wifi i get a message saying that it is connected but there is a lock symbol on the wifi icon. i have entered in the password but it does not change anything?
I've been having a problem for a while now wherein my internet connection seems to randomly drop for anywhere from ten seconds to a minute, then come back online. It's been doing this over the lifespan of one router, and continued into the life of this new one I have, which is a WNDR3700v3 Netgear.
I called my ISP and they fiddled around with things on my computer, but the issue is still going on. Rather than slog through another three hours with them, does anyone here have any tips for what I might look into for the cause?
I use the internet wirelessly via a Netgear JWAGR614 (I guess this is the Japanese-market version of the WAGR614), which works fine with my old laptop, a Toshiba Dynabook running Windows Vista. When I use it to connect with my new laptop, however (also a Dynabook, using Windows 7 32-bit), the connection to the router will freeze every few minutes. (It still claims to be connected, but no data seems to get through.) It will then come back after about 20 seconds, or faster if I disconnect and reconnect manually.The connection of my other PC is not affected during this time, it is still transferring data normally even while the new PC cannot.
I've been living in the basement of my house. Our router and modem is upstairs and we have a 20 mb/s connection, but I just ran a speedtest from my room and it shows me that my connection is only at 2.47 mb/s, which is really weird. The router is nearly just above my head on the floor above me, so I can't see the problem.
I live in a college dorm that has pretty lousy internet. There is no WiFi, just 2 ethernet ports per room I own multiple wireless devices, so wifi is basically a must, but with a wireless router the connection is too slow to even play xbox live. A friend of mine mentioned that I could input multiple ethernets into my wireless router, so I was kind of hoping that was somehow possible, even though I am pretty skeptical. I have a Netgear WPN824N router
Internet connection seems like it drops and comes back up every couple of seconds. Not just little drops, wont load a web page and lag me out of games drop. Usefully only for a few hours at most. But its been a full day this time. Ive been searching all all over the place and nothing is working. So with that I have a Netgear WNA3100 picking up wireless from my land lords up stairs. Not sure their router Id but Im pretty sure the problem is on my end. Ive downloaded and reinstalled updated driver, and I have "excellent" connection all the time, according to windows and netgears software. Ive tried pinging and I only lost one packet once (at yahoo.com) out of probably 100 pings, literally Ive been sitting here for a while, to the ip and some sites.
