Linksys Wireless Adapters :: WMP300N Constant Reboot Out Of Warranty?
Dec 19, 2011
I just attempted to install a brand new WMP300N, and when I give the system power, it continually reboots every 15-20 seconds. The BIOS never logs a problem, so I suspect that the system resets during the POST. I initially suspected a power supply problem, even though I have a 900w power supply. Pulling the card allows the system to boot normally, but after removing power from all drives (ssd, hdd, and dvd),switching to onboard video and pulling my pci-e video card, the system still will not POST, and continually reboots.
I've had this card sitting new in the packaging for a while now (at least a year) and I'm sure I no longer have the receipt. Is there any way for me to attempt an RMA on this card, or am I out of luck for waiting so long to actually open it?

what are the main differences between these two PCI wireless network cards WMP300N and WMP600N The first one seems to have a better coverage due to the external antenna, the second covers more wireless standards.Witch one is the better.

I'm having my system lock up / freeze, my OS is win7 64.
The drivers that came on the cd just locked my computer within 1-5 minute intervalls. The driver (Ver.1.1.00.018) I downloaded from [url]... just pushes up the that time with about 30 minutes. Then there's the Ver.8.0.0.162 that explicity says it adds win7 support but I can't update my drivers, it only tells me that I'm already using the latest version, which I'm certain I don't.

Yesterday I contacted live support with the problem that my network driver is crashing and giving me BSODs because of this when my download speed reaches above 5.5MBps.[url]...When I try to install those drivers, I first get a warning that the drivers aren't signed. I press "Continue" to dismiss the message but still at the end it fails to install and gives me the message "The drivers can not be loaded because they are not digitally signed", leaving you with a useless device.I bypassed the check windows is doing by turning off the check by running Windows in "Test Mode". I have test-signed the drivers myself that allowed me to install them. Now my device is working and not giving me BSODs anymore.
What I want is the drivers to be digitally signed by linksys/cisco. I think it's very unprofessional to distribute unsigned/useless drivers to customers. I am lucky that I am somewhat more experienced with this stuff, but what about people that are not? I think everybody should be able to install the latest drivers without any problems, without the need to hack into windows.I hope to see new drivers soon, or the same drivers but then digitally signed so I can turn off "Test Mode" again removing this ugly watermark in the bottom right corner.

I am trying to update the driver for my WMP300N for Windows 7. I get a message from windows telling me that a registry key does not exsist. Is there a way to create the proper registry key or get a download that will update the registry? The download from linksys does not update the registry or create the key.

there could be complications, but it appears the WPM300N is 'bad'?my wife's computer (XP SP3) recently started freezing at random times. Once while surfing she got a BSOD. The last few days it had gotten much worse, sometimes the freeze occuring during the boot process, and again at random points.
What I tried was determing all new s/w installs and deleting them still didn't fix the problem. Next I used some Norton Ghost back-ups restoration from the time period she had the freezes... still was freezing. Next an image from long ago and it still froze. Got me thinking it was h/w related. She has a wireless mouse and keyboard. Put in wired units, still froze.
A few days ago my router died. It couldn't get a WAN IP Address from the ISP's cable modem. ISP verified the modem was working by having me attach directly to it one of my wired computers. This router was a new (2 months old) ASUS RT-N56U. I put back my old LinkSys WRT600N. In doing so I had to change the passphrase. This turned out to be a big assist to me determining what went wrong.
On each of the restores of an image, the system never froze, not until I connected to the router by giving the proper passphrase, but usually after that. When it happened (I did multiple image restores) when I was in Safe Mode with Network as it was connecting, the implication was clear it was the WMP300N.
As luck would have it, I had another card taken out of my old computer. Put that card in and so far, he computer has NOT frozen up. I've restored all the deleted items and Windows Updates and all other Updates (Norton ISS, Flash, Adobe) and it is running fine.

I did a clean install of Windows 7 64-Bit the other day. I installed all drivers that came with my PC's Hardware, all went smooth. INCLUDING: Installing the original Linksys WMP300N Software/Driver Disc. I'm not sure how it installed, since i have a 64-Bit OS. It says that "This device is working properly", although no "Power Managment" tab came up in its Properties Menu. I had to manually go to the Registry Editor and turn off Some "Power Saving Features", like it auto-turning off. That's all i did an i'v had NO problems with it. Although, I don't use the software, and never have, i prefer Microsofts. I'v also got a second PC with a different Linksys adapter(Non PCI One)working great on 32-Bit Win7. How to get it to work on Windows 7?

who had a WMP300N with the Broadcom 4329 chip (PCIVEN_14E4&DEV_4329&SUBSYS_00601737&REV_01)Since i got my WMP300N all that i got is a really a big headache, since the drivers DOESN'T are meant for Win 7 (x86/x64), and the guys at Cisco/Linksys really are so kind to bring an unstable driver (v6.100) that they claim is for win 7.
i, as same as a ton of users, really get dissapointed because the driver in the cd does not work on win 7 and the 'official updated driver' is useless as well, and in the end lost a lot of time searching almost in the entire internet for a solution, that some pages claim to have, but the info is oudated, or the links are gone.so in a insurmountable-almost-titanic search, i somehow managed to gather all the required files that i'll put at disposition of those like me have a bad time with a supposed to be a pretty good wireless card.
1- bmc 4329 v4.100, this one is the most 'stable' and works pretty well in 32/64bits, it had a modded .inf wich enables a few features that various users will find pretty useful, when the installer prompts a warning about an unsigned driver, you had to allow the installation
2- bmc 4329 5.100, this one is working too on 32/64 bits, i'm posting it because some people got problems with the 4.100 version, however, the 5.100 is a stock unmodded driver, so maybe it will give connection issues.

I recently installed this adapter, and it's connected to a wireless-N router right now (WRT102N), the problem I'm having is it's not sending out internet connection once I boot up the next day. It'll work once I click reconnect to connect to the network again, but still, I don't think it should be doing that.

I have a brand new 2960S-48TS-L, plain vanilla with no extra module/boards etc. It boots up ok (the installed version is 12.2 (55) SE5) but then constantly cycles the following error, and doesn't accept any input whatsoever. After 5-10 minutes of cycling the error, the switch reloads and starts the process again.

I upgraded my E3000 to a new E4200 several months ago. I use an SSL VPN to connect to work which worked fine on 1.0.01 and 1.0.02 but I upgraded to 1.0.03 to fix an issue where the router constantly reboots when I stream Netflix or Hulu and now the router reboots with Netflix, Hulu AND the SSL VPN tunnel initiation.

I've recently acquired a Linksys E1200 router--which is more than a week old--from the recommendation of a friend of mine. The service is great and all, but the one thing that frequently bothers me is the seeming constant instability of my router's model. There are moments when the router performs smoothly, but there is as much an instance because the router doesn't seem to work at all even when the lights (and the accompanying connection) on my modem seem to be working in good order.
I know that a router will always have its problems, but this is really a constant problem with the E1200; and if so, if there's any way possible on how I can be able to "stabilize" the said router's performance.

you can update your ios for free within the 90 day warranty.e.g. a customer bought a asa 5510 and installed was a old version of the ios. now our customer complains that he wants to have the current version.but as far as i know he would need a smartnet in order to get the current ios.
but i think to remember that someone told me that you can update your ios device withthin the 90 day warranty. true?

Lately, I upgrade the firmware on my router. A linksys WRT54G. In order to access the router I had to do a manual reset to factory settings. Post upgrade, for some reason I couldn't access the internet. I tried everything for hours and finally through sheer luck of unplugging every cable and ever power lead and plugging it back in, it started working.
However, lately I've found that the only computer connected to the internet via eathernet cable is loosing connection intermittently. Also we seem to get constant huge spikes in latency and very inconsistent speed. Unplugging the router and plugging it back in again seems to solve this problem temporarily, but requires toggling of power multiple times a day. Also I had what I believe was an IP address conflict, or lack of an IP address once, but using the windows troubleshoot errors fixed that by resetting my wireless network card. (This was on a 2nd machine)

I have to reboort my router every day to get back an internet connection? I have a desktop and a laptop plus iPads, etc. The laptop loses connectivity every day about the same time. My only solution so far is to reboot the router. I realize that the client lease time is set to 1 day by default but isn't it supposed to ask the modem for another day of life when this happens?

I unplugged my router and when I plugged it back in, it stopped working. The 4 port lights and the ethernet light come on immediately when I plug it in instead of the normal boot sequence.
I tried resetting it, leaving it unplugged for long periods, using the power supply from my other router,... nothing works.

my E1000 will slow down and, as I've done with other routers, I'll typically unplug it for about 20 seconds and reboot it. However, with my E1000, about 9 out of 10 times, after I plug it back in, the four port lights on the the left will dimly flash but I get no activity on the three right blue lights (the wifi, internet and power buttons) and thus no wifi or internet.
For example, this morning I unplugged the router and modem, plugged the modem back in and waited for the modem activity lights to start flashing and then plugged in the router. The four blue port lights on left side flashed very dimly but no other activity. I unplugged it and re-plugged it in about 10 times and finally, the lights on the right side popped on and all was well.

I'm experiencing significant slowness with my E4200V2 that is resolved after a reboot. Here is a pre/post reboot ping:

[Code]....
As you can see, the results indicate that the reboot fixes the issue, and the difference is significant and noticeable. I find that I need to reboot the router once every few days. My old router, a WRT54GL, was rock solid with the same ISP (I'm in an apartment and plug a LAN cable directly into the wall. What happens beyond that - I don't know. I think there's wireless involved somewhere, though.).
Clearly, rebooting the router resolves the issue. Since my old WRT54GL worked flawlessly, I suspect it's the router. Because the delay seems to happen between the router and the ISP, the possibilty remains that it's an issue on the ISP side. However, that seems unlikely given the stability I saw with the WRT54GL.

When connecting wirelessly (5GHz) to the E3000 after a day or so the wireless connection starts loosing speed. I have Comcast and usually get 20-30 MB download connections. After a day or so I start to lose speed (down to 5MB) until I reboot the E3000. Then I resume 20-30MB download connections. My wired connections appear fine and don’t experience the slow down. I'm doing my speed test with [URL]
The wireless slow down seems similar to the old memory leak condition of old Windows OS’s. Called Cisco and they don’t have an idea. They had me change a few settings (channel info) but I’m pretty technical and don’t feel that will fix it.

I have the latest flash installed. I am making use of all the options available to this router. USB drive set up as a file server, both radio bands have devices which attach. All wifi security is wpa2 with a complex key string. Also have pc’s attached to all lan ports. I also have all the wireless devices registered on the mac address filter for access set to enable/allow. I have a total of 9 mac address in the list. One lan device is on the DMZ. One address is reserved. Not sure what other details you need.Router is used for online gaming, video streaming, and typical internet browsing.

Just setup my new EA6500 router and while in general it seems to be performing ok I am experiencing some problems with the admin. It seems that frequently either via cloud or local i get the cannot find router message or waiting graphic which results me in having to manually reboot the router so that i can access the admin page again, The router still works fine but no admin access until i physically reboot. This kind of defeats the whole purpose of using cloud if just by accessing the router or making changes it leaves admin access inoperable!

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.

Not sure if I have a defective router, but if I unplug it I then need to wait at least a half hour to plug it back in. Anytime sooner and it won't broadcast a SSID or connect to the modem. This is a huge inconvenience if you want to change router settings and then you need to restart.

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.
