Linksys Cable / DSL :: WAG160N - Apple IPhone And IPad Cannot Find Wi-Fi Signal
Mar 14, 2012
I have a Wag 160n router which works fine with desktop pc connected by ethernet & wirelessly to laptop. My nokia phone finds the wi-fi signal but apple i-phone & ipad dont!
My iphone wireless connectivity to my Linksys router that I have put up with for a year, but as I now have the same issue with my ipad I've decided enough is enough.The issue is that they both connect OK to the router and therefore to the internet, but after a short period of time (minutes) whilst it appears that they are still connected to the router the connection seems to completely hang. At that point I have to go into settings on the iphone/ipad and turn off the wireless connection and turn it on again. This then allows connectivity and internet activity for 5-10 (15-20) minutes before it hangs again.I have no problems with connecting to any other router from the iphone and ipad. And I also have no problems with my PC's connecting to the Linksys router.
I can find the network OK but whenever I put in the password it just refreshes and tells me I need a password. My son has just got the applemac for his communication studies and neither of us are very bright with computers let alone apple. They are completely different.
Does my Belkin F5D8236-4 ver. 1 (firmware 1.00.02) router support Apple's Bonjour print application. I can't get my iPhone or iPad to recognize my new HP Photosmart 7520 wireless printer which is connected to my network through my router.
I have a new iPad and a new WAG160N. I've wasted many hours trying to get them to recognize each other, with no success.I can connect to the Internet OK but I can't get a connection to the Pad, as it won't accept my password. I can't find a solution here that I can follow for this model.Why won't my password (no unusual symbols, just 10 letters and numbers) be accepted?

I have local WI-Fi network with 2 Macs, 2 PC's, iPhone, iPod and i Pad at home on Link sys WAG120N router. On i Pad when I try to connect to Internet I have to turn WiFi off and on. It works for a while but after waking i Pad from sleep I have to switch off and on again. It really drives me crazy. Sometimes (hardly ever) it happens on my iPhone 4 (same network setup as on i Pad). Other devices connect to Internet whenever I need.
Had an E4200 for a couple of months now and have not been able to resolve an issue with the router dropping an Apple iPad 2 at random times.The E4200 is replacing a Cisco Aironet 1200, which never dropped any clients, iPad 2 or others, and never displayed any of the issues below.
TECH DETAILS:The E4200 is being used purely as an access point. All extras are not in use and are disabled.
Firmware 1.0.03 Hardware version 1.
BASIC ISSUE:The E4200 drops an Apple iPad 2 off the 2.4 Ghz Mixed (B, G, N) network. The user must then select the network to rejoin. Rejoining occurs without incident. The same issue occurs when the network is restricted to B, G. The drops occur at what appears to be random intervals - sometimes 10 minutes apart, sometimes hours apart. We can have as many as 6 drops in an hour. A ping to the apple ipad shows the device stops responding to pings about 10 seconds before the user is prompted to rejoin a network. Meanwhile, a ping to the E4200 itself from a laptop connected via the E4200 on the same radio as the ipad continues to work without fail during this incident.
1. The iPad 2's cannot connect to the 5Ghz radio. I believe iPad 2's are supposed to support 5Ghz.
2. Both our Apple TVs do not connect to the 5Ghz radio: they fail with a "There was an error connecting to the network. Check your settings and try again. (-3914)" error. Apple TV supports 5Ghz.
3. The admin interface for the E4200 is very slow sometimes. Probably over 20 seconds to render some pages when it gets really bad. As a comparison, Internet-based pages on fast sites that delivered via the E4200 itself load in less than 2 seconds.
4. The HTTPS version of the admin interface can only be connected to via Safari browers. Both Internet Explorer 9 and Chrome 16 fail to connect with a "Connection reset" error. In Chome, it says "Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): The connection was reset." This is across multiple devices. There is no issue with straight HTTP.
All other devices - including Macs and PCs - connect fine with the E4200 on both 5Ghz and 2.4 Ghz radios, even if they cannot access its admin interface via HTTPS.I've presented quite a few issues above, but the main one is the drop outs for the iPad 2 devices. I'd present logs on drops, but the thing doesn't record any useful logs.
Basic wireless config:
5Ghz: Network Mode: Wireless-N Only Channel width: Auto (20 or 40 Mhz) Channel: Auto (DFS) SSID Broadcast: Enabled
I recently connected E1500 to time wanrner cable modem for my home. 3 laptops work fine, but iphone and ipad can not connect to wireless. But iphone and ipad connected to linksys guest automatically.
I have a WAG160N wireless gateway . Yesterday when i tried to power it on after a couple of seconds the power led was solid green and the Ethernet leds were blinking with no Ethernet cable attached to the router . The ethernet leds would keep blinking for minutes . I tried to use a screwdriver to do a hardware reset ( with power on ) and i noticed that the power led would start blinking green/red for minutes . I tried to use another wired router which i have for backup and it could connect to the internet normally without a problem.
What the green / red blinking power led means ( power led is green and then changes to red and then it starts over ) ?
I've just been sent a new ADSL modem router by my new broadband supplier and plan on using it. However, my question is, can use my old wag160n to replace one of these, which im currently using to connect an old xbox to my wireless network, but also make use of the other lan ports on the wag (i.e. Connect more than one non wireless device to the wag and gain access to my wifi network?)
I've a 20Mbit/s connection with Telecom Italia provider.My line values follows:-- DSL Information ---DSL Driver Version: AnnexA version - A2pB023k.d21dDSL VPI/VCI: 8/35DSL Status: ShowtimeDSL Mode: ADSL2+DSL Channel:DSL Upstream Rate: 979 KbpsDSL Downstream Rate: 22105 Kbps Down upDSL Noise Margin: 12.0 dB 13.4 dBDSL Attenuation: 10.5 dB 4.3 dBDSL Transmit Power: 14.0 dBm 12.4 dBm?I have issues about connection stability : on HEAVY load download the PPP connection goes down. The sync signal stays up, but the PPP goes down!
In the log these lines corresponds:

My ISP says that there are no troubles with the line and it can be an issue of the modem...
When I enable the debug with ?todo=debug shall I see more info in the logs ?How to stop the debugging ?How to print the logs ?What is the difference with debug and ppp_debug ?What is the effect of the sendlog command ? I didn't receive any email with a log !
I purchased a new Apple I Phone 4S with hotspot. I have two Dell Computers, a Latitude D830 and an Inspiron 15R, both with Window 7. These computers connect to the I4s hot spot.an older Latitude D610, Windows XP 32 Bit, will not connect. I can connect to the I4S via USB cable but not via wireless.
One of my customer has an Apple IPAD 2.The IPAD is getting registerd through Cisco WLC 7.2.The APs that are being used is AP 1252 & AP 1242. The AP are configured in flex mode. The issue that we are facing is all the laptops and IPADs other then Apple IPAD are working but the Apple IPAD are not working through AES WPA2.It gives him a dismiss message and at time it gets connected but take a long time to get connected. Incase when the IPAD gets connected the following happens.
While connecting to the SSID it will ask for the preshared keyAfetr entering the preshared key it takes time to acquire an IP addressAfter the IP address is assigned it gives a dismiss message. If we do not click on the dismiss message then it will take anothere 30 seconds or so and get connected.
Struggling to enable Airplay using a WAG160N. Any settings I need on the router? Looking on forums, came across suggestion to disable WMM support. This seemed to work and i had Airplay but now I've lost it again.
I hard reset the router WAG160N and i can't access it on 192.168.1.1, i can connect to the wireless connection but it shows unindentified network, in properties gateway IP is absent. i also get 169.254.1.38 as IPv4.What could have happened to the modem, I can't use it at all at the moment?
Two years ago I bought a WAG160N for modem (ADSL) and router functionality. I consider to buy a pure router (E3000 or E4200) to connect to the WAG160N and use that one purely as the modem. How and what should I configure/disable on my WAG160N?
I can no longer access the internet, and the internet has been difficult to bring up for one to two weeks.Internet light does not come on. Under Status tab, interface is down, tried refresh and connect but nothing.The IP address can be pinged, 4 packets sent and 4 packets received. Tried resetting defaults and refreshing but no success.Bought this router in September 2008 to replace WAG54G which was constantly turning on and off every few seconds.
Some years ago i have buyed a WAG160N i haven't never used, because once i plug it power, it start to reboot and reboot in a loop...Is there something to do with it or should i put it in the trash ? Firmware using is probably Ver.1.00.15?
I have a WAG160 setup to use the one fo the LAN ports as a WAN connection. The issue is every now and again the internet connection drops and it seems it is unable to communicate with the DNS server that is providing the internet connection.
Any hardware that can re-boot a DSL router such as the WAG 160N when the router no longer passes traffic ? Today, while the DSL line and the Internet appeared to be working, I could not log in to the router from a LAN machine and I had to power it off and on again by hand.We have a number of surveillance cams on the LAN and this must not happen, that the cams cannot be accessed, in particular if nobody is on site for a few days.Unfortunately, the WAG 160N does not have a daily re-boot option. What can one do except for installing a timer that switches the power to the router off and and on again ?
I'v just changed my internet provider. That new one uses Annex b, my wag160n is purposed to annex a. Thats what i'v done. Turn on bridge mode turn off dhcp, set PPPoE with my login and password. And here is my problem. I cant connect by wifi with more then 1 device. I can only connect with my laptop when i'm trying to connect on my xbox it says it cannot get ip adress from router. What shoudl i change ?
i trried te update the firmware of my WAG160N. I had to choose between two versions. I tried both. But both versions give the message that is the wrong version and the installations stops.
I purchased a new WAG160N router a few months ago and recently I have been having major problems with connectivity.The problem is that it resets itself at seemingly random times. I see it happening. The red power light starts flashing red and then the other lights slowly turn green as it re-establishes connection to the internet.
This is becoming extremley frustrating as I do online gaming with my XBOX 360.I use wired connections using ethernet cables. One to my laptop. And one to my XBOX 360.I have contacted my ISP who have done line checks and I have had an engineer look at my line and all is good. I have also replaced all cables to/from the router including phone cords and ethernet cords. EVERYTHING is new.I recall one incident in which my internet was down and I just couldnt get connection AT ALL. I rang my ISP and they got me to log into my modem settings. The settings were all altered for some reason and I have no idea why. When they told me to enter the details in the settings the internet worked immediatley.
