Linksys Wireless Adapters :: WUSB100-EU Overheating And Disconnecting?
Oct 10, 2011
My WUSB100 which used to run perfectly suddenly started disconnecting. When I unpugged it, I realized that it was extremely hot. When I leave it to cool down and plug it again it works perfectly... for about two minutes. After two minutes it disconnects, no site loads, all downloads stop... etc. but the indicators on my computer do not even realize that there is a problem with the device... when I unplug it, I see the same result: too hot...
I have a Linksys WUSB100 ver.2 which i'm using on my desktop (uptodate Windows 7) for over a year now. I never had any problems with it until about a week ago.
After starting the computer, it had no network-connection, nor could it find any network anymore . The led-light keeps flashing blue and the device gets pretty hot.
I've tried about everything, i think:
- I've tried to update the drivers, but the installed driver were already uptodate.
- I have re-installed the device with no effect.
- i've installed the device on 2 other computers; my Windows 7- laptop and my old Windows XP SP3-computer. The problems were the same there.
I have had a wusb100 on my computer for some time. Yesterday it kept showing that it had a very weak signal and wouldn't connect to the internet, although the other computers in the house were fine.. I've reinstalled it and the device manager shows it working fine. The tv screen icon advised me that there are wireless networks in the area but the adapter isn't connected. When I click on the pop up, it tells me that there are no wireless networks in range.
I have just bought the aforementioned Wi-Fi adapter. I have installed driver for it, and in Device manager in General tab I can see that "This device is working properly". owever, the corresponding connection in Network Connections is disabled, and I can't enable it. When try to "Set up a new network" - I only see a blank window with no devices listed. Windows network Diagnostics says: There might be a problem with the driver for the Wireless Network Connection adapterDetected
I am having trouble installing the wusb100 adapter on a Windows 7 Pro 64 bit machine. I have downloaded the updated files and when I go to install the software, I get to the section that says, "plug in the adapter." At that point, it says it can see the adapter and it sits for 3 minutes trying to complete the install. The I get error 211 which says the adapter is plugged in wrong and to try again. I notice that the adapter is set up with drivers in the Hardward Management area of Windows, however, I cannot access the adapter to set it up. Thoughts? I have also tried to manually install the drivers but they are installed. The trouble is I can't see the adapter.
I just installed windows 7 on my wifes new com and the device couldn't detect any connections using the default drivers (windows called it an nvidia wireless network card). I downloaded the drivers put them on her hd via flash drive and attempted to update the device drivers through the device manager but it says the drivers are already up to date. I uninstalled the device and windows called the device MCF-J415W and when I tried to update the drivers again it said the drivers were not correct. I'm not sure what is going on here and why linksys doesn't just have a .exe driver installer. I've had the same issue with my wife's computer when it had win xp except it didn't have any generic drivers to install. Also I tried selecting the driver from the list of pre-loaded drivers and found one for the exact device but it would not install those either.
with my Linksys WRT150N router in "N-only" mode, the usb adapter WUSB100 doesn't connect. In the datasheet is written that it is B-G, but also N compatible..[URL] It connects only when the router is on "mixed mode" (B-G-N).
The device works great, the only thing is that it doesn't connect to N networks.... cause i think it is not N compatible. When i look for networks, Windows shows me that there is my N network, but when i click connect, after a few seconds, appears "impossible to connect".... but if i set the router on "mixed mode", no problems.
Like I said my AE1200 adapter keeps disconnecting, it happens about twice a day, underload especially.I already tried to update drivers, reinstall drivers, tweak settings, nothing works, I even turned off power save mode.I'm running WIndows 7 64-bit
I am using a linksys E3000 router, and a linksys AE1000 adapter with XP system, for some reason adapter always has to reconnect, disconnect, reconnect. and even with good connection, it only has a maximum speed 144MBPS. How to reset the adapter or the router so it won't get disconnect so often and maximize the speed.
I installed an E4200 in an outdoor patio area where the ambient temperature can be high (Las Vegas area); however, the router is located in the shade without any direct exposure to the sun. After using the router for about 15 minutes, the router is extremely hot and 2.4GHz band will stop working. In addition, even when the router is working, the 5 GHz band connects at much higher speed than the 2.4 Ghz band. The internet download speed is much higher using 5 GHz compared to 2.4 Ghz.
Called earlier the guy is really impatient and just wanted my credit card detail to install some remote software for technicians to fix from their end. Ethernet connection is fine1. wireless with iphone and ipad is conected with correct password and strong signal. But 99% of the time there is not connection while signal is still strong.2. wireless connection with another laptop using Cisco Network USB adapter WUSB100. After wireless work detected and enter the same security key as ipad used. Could not work.
My WAG120N router overheating and stuck repeatedly every 4-5 hours. How i can solve this problem? I buy this router 3-4 months ago...Is hardware or software issue?
My WAG120N: Firmware Version: V1.00.07 DDNS Service - Disable DMZ Hosting - Disable Firewall - Disable Restore to Factory Setting - Many Times = No result Connected Computers in the LAN - WLAN = 6 Desktops-Laptops, 3 PDA Devices
--> My Router gives this information about my Downstream / Upstream Rate Downstream Rate: 10229 kbps Upstream Rate: 861 kbps
I found that if the WAG320N remain "on" during the night the day after will no longer work. It need to stay "off" for one day and than is starting to work again till another working's night! Why?
I noticed that my Asus RT-56U router feels really really hot. It's like the sidewalk on a hot day. I was wondering if it's suppose to be like that or if it's a problem i should worry about.
A few weeks ago I began having issues with my 615 arbitrarily dropping connections and so on which turned out to be an overheating router, due to sudden hot weather here in the UK, and I just wanted to share how I solved it. My solution was to dremel a hole in the case just big enough to fit a small, silent 12v brushless fan I salvaged from a wrecked computer's PSU, which would then rest on the PCB without any real fixtures. I even drilled some small holes in the side of the case for air to exit. This was fine though because the router is never moved around. Rather than solder the fan onto the power jack socket connections inside to use the unit's own supply, I used an old, disused multi-adaptor and ran the fan cables out of a small hole at the back. The benefit of that was that it didn't add any strain to the router's PSU as this was already under some load after messing around with transmit power in dd-wrt. Another small advantage is that I get voltage control on the fan for slowing on cooler days.
I have a WRT160N v3 Linksys Router and it keeps disconnecting and then reconnecting. It only disconnects wirelessly. LAN still works fine.I have tried a lot of different methods to solve this issue, but none seem to work.I am very dissappointed in the quality of the product. It has done this every since it was bought. I personally would have sent it in for repairs, but others in my household would not have agreed to that.
I have Time Warner as my internet company. I recently purchased a new Linksys Router Mode E2500 because I have been having issues with my old router. My internet was disconnecting sporadically. After connecting the new router, a started getting the same issue. I replaced my internet cable modem to a Cisco 2100 modem (provided by Time Warner). I noticed that the issue keeps happening sporadically which makes me believe it is my Linksys router. Every time a new wireless connection is connected, my modem circuit dies. This happens sporadically.
I'm using linksys WRT160NL router and it works fine with 2 laptops, but other 2 laptops have problems with disconnecting from network and them it says Limited access internet. It's happening very often and especialy when downloading.I updated firmware and tried different channels, didn't work. Network mode is Mixed, could this cause the problem? Could it be problem with internet provider?
I don't have any problem with the wireless computers connected to the router but the wired one keep geeting disconnected. I'm loosing the internet many times a day on thiis one. Like I said the wireless is ok. My old router on my computer ( wired) was working well before I installed the wrt120n.
I've just bought a linksys E3200 wireless router and it hasnt performed even alittle up to expectations.. As above stated, the router keeps disconnecting me from the internet and i do not know how to fix it. It gets really annoying especially when i have to use the internet to do work.
My Cisco Linksys WRT120N router keeps disconnecting, my family and me are all using the wireless connection. But sometimes the router just disconnect us all, its like its restarting, it only close down for like 5 - 10 secounds and then its back on. Sometimes it does it like every secound hour and sometimes it does it 3 times in 10 min. I usually play games on it and even tho I am the only one using it, it still disconnects. We got 2 wireless cameras running on a secound router that is merged (Thats what the nerd that setted it up for us told me) with the primary existing router. I am not really that good at computer I just dont want to get disconnected all the time.
I am using Cisco E1000. since 1.5 years I am using the internet through this router. Past1 week i am geeting freeqent disconnecting of my internet (for all systems & devices). I am using DHCP connection with static IP.
I have a WRT120n that keeps disconnecting my iMac. I have another PC conected with a wire to the wrt120n and never get's disconected however my iMac keeps disconecting and I have to reconect, this happens like every hour.
So just a few days ago my router has started to just constantly disconnect and reconnect itself to my computer. It is a wireless connection, and it will disconnect and reconnect for a short amount if time within just a few minutes. Ive tried power cycling my router and modem but the problem still persists
i've recently upgraded from E3200 as i wanted slightly faster and more reliable router, only to find out this one is more troublesome then the older model.
Upgraded to latest firmware:
EA Series Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Firmware
11/19/2012
Ver.1.1.39.145204
i've excellent WIFI reception - setup 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks (diffrent SSID). i've few apple computers on the WIFI, and ipod touch 5th gen with iOS 6.01.Seems that often when i browse web on the ipod, the WIFI drops (takes about 60s to reconnect - almost as if the router is rebooting). But it's not conclusive and unpredictable. It also happens just with the computers when browsing web.
Our router is connected through a cable modem and If I connect my computer directly wired to the cable modem, I have no problem, it does not disconnect at all.In comes the router in between, when I connect the router and connect my computer through the router WRT54G2, it works initially then I get disconnected after about 1-2 hours. This is very regular. I have a temporary solution by resetting the router via two ways:
1. Go to the admin page, and perform a release and renew IP method.
I'm having issues with a newly bought EA 2700 router, I'm getting disconnected every 30-60 minutes. (It's a brief disconnect for about 10seconds, perhaps a huge packet loss or something?)I've tried connecting directly to the modem and that seemed to have fixed the problem, so I think that it is a router issue...? Also, my download/upload/ping is 35mbps download, 35ish mbps upload, and 8ms. (I have a 35mbps connection so that's fine) But when I connect my PC to the modem directly, my MS becomes 5, and my upload jumps to 77mbps. The download stays the same...
My new router has started to disconnect for a second or so from the internet then reconnect. I have been unable to see the issue and changing the frequency was unsuccessful. This has also been happening when connecting both wired and wirelessly
I bought a WRT54G v6 and since I installed and configured it I've experiencing an intermittent connection in my lan where you can find a notebook wireless connected to the router and a desktop wired to the router by cable.I'm working and then the network stops, both computers lose signal with the router. The signal come back few seconds later but to work in internet again I have to wait some minutes.So I contacted the live assistent on Linksys web-site and the agents said to me to do something that I will list here:- lower the MTU to 1480, 1470, 1450- updated the firmware- reflash the firmware- reset the router for about 30 seconds- do the power cycleIf you don't know what update and reflash the firmware or do the power cycle means you can srsistedthe conclusion is that ee the instructions on this pages: [URL] ...
I purchased a WRT150N in early Dec 07. I had a number of problems with the unit disconnecting from wired and wireless connections erratically anywhere from 1/2 hr to 10 hrs. of operation. Troubleshoot thru Linksys chat. Ended up replacing router. Now I am having the same problem with replacement router. I've updated my windows XP, SP2, updated Ethernet driver and manually reconfigured router per Linksys advise. Wife and my laptops have N adapters, primary PC is wired in. It seems to disconnect all connections at same time, totally random. The only way to reconnect is to power down router for a few seconds and then power up.
The network is constantly disconnecting from my devices and wont let me reconnect...I reset the network completely back to factory settings and started from there. Some of my devices didnt want to connect at all after the complete reset.These are the settings that I have changed: SSID has been changed,wifi security(wpa2 personal,AES) ,channel(width=20, channel=auto) ,DNS server(changed to Norton DNS: 198.153.192.40 & 198.153.194.40) & router management logon password & firmware upgrade to 3.0.03...
