Linksys Wireless Router :: E3000 Losing Wi-Fi Connectivity On Multiple Device
Sep 7, 2010
Issue with Linksys E3000 router (firmware 1.0.02). I'm experiencing issues with the following wireless connections:
-iPhone 4G (wife's)
-iPod Touch 2G
-PC with wireless connection (non Linksys brand adapter)
-Acer NetBook (non Linksys brand adapter)
The issue is the connection gets interrupted and dropped, but the devices and the router DHCP clients table show the connections are still present. By interruption, I mean no data traffic is being transmitted.My wife's iPhone 4G and my son's iPod Touch wifi both show they are connected to the home network, complete with wifi bars being displayed, and the checkmark is present next to the home network connection in the the device settings for both. When I check the E3000 DHCP clients table, both Apple devices are listed as holding a connection. Yet both devices display network errors when trying to use any app that connects to the internet. By restarting the wifi connection on each, the connection is restored to the point where traffic now transmits. My wife and son estimate it is after about 10 minutes that they encounter the interruptions.
On the PC and NetBook, the connections have to be terminated and reconnected. I have not timed these to see how long before the connection becomes problematic.Interestingly, my ASUS laptop and my iPhone 4G do not have the issue, nor does my work laptop (Dell).There are no timeout parameters in the router config. Closest thing to it is the Beacon Interval, but I don't know which way to adjust it (up or down) to manage the devices that are experiencing interruptions. I have not made any interval adjustments...at this time, everything is set to default settings.This E3000 replaced an aging WRT54 (hardware v2) router so that I could have an N router in the house.

I have an E3000 running firmware 1.0.04. I have a Mac Mini running Snow Leopard and an iMac running Lion. The Mini is set up to file share with the iMac, and it usually shows up in the iMac's finder window as browseable. Periodically, the Mini vanishes from the iMac's finder window. When this happens, I can no longer connect to the Mini from the iMac.

Every day our various win7 computers lose connection to our home wireless HP printer, usuall when on standby or sleep. We basically have to add a printer to find it again each time. I looked at the router E3000 setup and the dhcp release by deault is 0. I can't find any documentation on how make that permanent or do not renew.

I recently purchased a Linksys e3000 router. Everything is going great except that both my desktop (Windows 7 Machine) and Laptop (Macbook Pro) keep losing the connection to a DLINK 323 Nas drive I have plugged into the router. This is problematic because I keep my itunes library on the NAS drive.

My E3000 has been running for months without a hitch. Last night, it lost connectivity on the 2.4 GHz. I can connect on my laptop (Dell, XP) on the wireless 5 Ghz only. Wired connections (2 PCs and one video device) connect fine. All wireless equipment (laptops and LG DVD device needing 2.4 GHz) see the 2.4 GHz with good signal but will not connect. Of course, I rechecked name and passwords.
I tried the MSR restart and reboot several times, including turning things off overnight. Checked to be sure settings were not corrupted in setup.E3000 running firmware 1.0.04.

I have a new Linksys E3000, 2 wired disktops (1 windows 7, 1 windows vista), 2 wireless laptops (both windows Vista), whenever the computers power down into sleep mode and are woke up, I have lost my connections to the router and I am forced to restart the computer. I've been told by one person that this is a problem with vista and windows 7, but wouldn't that have been a problem with my old router also?

I updated to Firmware Version: 1.0.04. And now I can't logon to the router when my storage device is turned on. However, I can logon to the router when the device is off. If I turn the power on the storage device and try to navigate the router it says ".....Can't establish a connection to the server at 192.168.1.1." Then I have to reboot the router to be able to log back on.

Within the Internet Access Policy section of the browser based utility, is it possible to limit access for a specific device (PC) to LAN only (not allow any traffic to external internet)? I see that you can block internet access for a specific machine, however I didn't know if this was inclusive of LAN as well.If not, is there another way to achieve this via the E3000 or should I be looking for a solution on the specific PC itself?

I upgraded to firmware version 1.0.03 I started to have this weird issue: I have four PCs connected to this wireless router via wireless G. They all run Windows 7 Home Premium. After a few hours I started to notice that the DHCP client table is empty even if all four PCs are connected to the internet. This causes a networking problem because one of the PC serves as a file server and it grants access by IP addresses. Not being able to "see" those computers, my access is denied.

I have the model AE1200 usb adapter and its been working great for over 6 months, but lately it has been inconsistently working. It has stopped working then i have to reset the adapter and then it will work for a little bit and then it will do it again. is this a common problem or is it likely my adapter is failing? Is there an update that i am missing?

I got the new EA6500. For the last few days I've noticed there are multiple devices showing under one device with different IP addresses. In the beginning they show up individually with their own device names, then somehow combine. Each device is different ie. computer, phone, DirecTV box, etc. I did a hard reset, re-flash and still it keeps happening.

Once your devices start showing up in your device list make a DHCP reservation for each device. (after confirming that no other devices are listed under it).
If you have a device that has multiple MAC & ip addresses under it you MUST first determine what the devices are listed & power-down before you can delete the device. Also note that some wired devices will still show as connected so you must have to either power down the device by pulling Th power cord OR disconnect the ethernet cable.

There are 2 ps3,a wii ,2 laptops,3 desktops,2 dsi.We have been having issues for a while now with losing connection and the service provider says there is nothing wrong. the modem is a comtrend ct-5072t and the router is a linksys E3000. The E3000 is the 3rd router I have bought in the last yr and 1/2 the last was a d-link dgl4500 gaming router the modem is new a rentel from the provider. Downloading updates for the ps3s are a nightmare online games like arma2 and battlefield 3 are a pain because we are losing connection all the time dont know what to do.

I am using a EA4500 and use Linksys Smart Wi-Fi to manage the device. In the household we have multiple Apple i devices. Somehow the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi combined two separte i devices (iPhone 5 and a 4th generation iTouch) to one user.The devices actually have different names, but the Smart Wi-Fi is combining them into one device. So I can't use Parental Controls on one of the devices.

Noticed the last couple days that pages weren't loading on my laptop. Looked at the network status for the laptop and noticed that my network speeds would fluctuate from 54Mbps to 1Mbps, and various speeds in between. I had never had this happen before (I've had this router, a Linksys, for about 6 years). I thought maybe something was going on with the laptop. Grabbed my wife's laptop and she had the same issue. So, I checked the wired towers - their speeds are running at 100% all the time, no fluctuation. So, it has to be something with my router, but I'm not familiar with how to diagnose, etc. The router has a 3rd party firmware (DD-WRT) flashed on it, in case that matters. But I've had that on there about 4 years, nothing new. I've done a DHCP release and renew.

I have an issue with my current network where every couple of hours I will lose my connectivity and it will not come back unless I do a power cycle on my router/modem. I originally thought the issue was with my router, however I'm beginning to think it's an issue involving the modem. I've tried two different routers and this happens on both. My main router is a D-Link WBR-1310 (crap I know but it was free) and has lasted for years, and my modem is a Toshiba PCX2500 from Time Warner Cable. The second router I used to test this was an older Linksys BEFW11S4. I was going to replace my router, but when I saw that both of them reset after a few hours (today was only 5, last night it was connected for over 8 hours as I slept). I ran an IPCONFIG /ALL when I was connected with internet and when I was connected without and the only three changes were: [code]

I have a DIR-625 router that has been acting odd lately. Several times a day at random my devices (laptop, android phones, PS3) will lose internet connectivity from my wireless network. They say they are still connected to the network but I am unable to access the internet or even the router config page. Everything works fine on Wired LAN computers. The only way I can fix it is by unplugging the router for a few seconds. I have had the router for over a year now without this problem. Seems like it may have started when we got our android phones.

I have a UC520 in a building with several IP phones. We installed a WLC526 and two AP521's for seamless roaming of cordless phones. THe phones work great with no issues. When I am running a ping test on a wireless laptop, i keep loosing packets. It looses connectivity randomnly. DHCP is given via Windows 2008R2 server. Have a cisco 2948 switch also in the mix. THe AP's are connected directly to teh front of the UC520. Why do phones work perfectly and not data?

our autonomous 1252APs. It loses network connectivity irregularly and ends up disconnecting everyone. It may stay up from a few days to a few weeks. I don't see any log messages that give any clues to why it is doing this. We have 30 of these working worldwide (on the same software level and same config) and this is the only one having the problem.
Things I have tried: Changing software levels - there is a code level where it didn't seem to have this issue, but I can't run it because then I'm unable to monitor it in our monitoring system. Swapping out wireless access pointsRe-terminating the cable on the AP side, it was really difficult to get the network cable into the AP while swapping it outBlocking a company test piece of equipment from connecting using the mac address filtering (it connects with one of their test IPs - weird) – I still see it connecting though I don't see high utilization on the switch port when the issue happens I had a few cases open with TAC, and they were unable to find anything wrong - gave them sh techs of prior to the event and after the event. It was one of those where the tickets were open for a weeks with no updates.

We are implementing a WLC infrastructure in our company following the below scenario:
- WLC 5508, OS 7.2
- APs AIR-LAP1142N-T-K9
- 3 Wlans (1Open w/ Web Auth, 1 WPA2 and 1 802.1x)
Issues:Everything seems to be fine, but some users loses connectivity (when connected to 802.1x network) at least 3 times by day.
- I cannot see anything at WLC logs concerning the association/deassociation of any of these users.
- Only strange line in the logs is "RADIUS server 172.21.44.50:1646 deactivated in global list" (authorization server config)
- Also I see some "Coverage hole pre alarm for client" but that doesn't look like a problem...

I recently purchased a Belkin F5D8053 N Wireless USB Adapter after my 6 year old adapter was unable to see my home network in the network list.
I installed the software but the adapter wouldn't connect to my home network so I reinstalled and updated the driver, still wouldn't work. Finally about 2 hours later it just randomly connected. Now it has been frequently (1-2 times a day) losing connection to my home network for around 3 hours, it can see a dozen networks in the list with full signal strength but won't connect to any at all then connects to my home network again several hours later.
I have switched between the Windows connector and the Belkin one and tried all 6 USB slots with no luck. I contacted Belkin support and they told me to try the device on another computer and see if the problem still happens but I don't have another computer to test it with.
I suspect this is a problem with my Windows installation rather than the hardware or router as my old card would freeze once every couple of days and was only fixed by powering off my computer as Windows was unable to kill the process to restart it.

ISP : ShawPC >> SMC Modem/Router >> Netgear Router >> PS3 and Denon Stereo Receiver ( Both hardwired to Netgear Router), 2 Laptops and 2 Phones connected wireless- The reason I do not use the SMC as a router is because I was getting terrible wireless signal- When everything is working properly I am getting great speedsroblem : I keep losing internet connectivity. On the wireless devices I still have have great signal strength but no connectivity. I need to run netgear genie oripconfig/release/renew to get it back. It always comes back but this is annoying.It also does this on the PS3 and Denon which are hardwired to the router..as with the other ones if I reset the router or do a connection test on the PS3 it will fix it. Finds IP but no internet connectivity.My PC has also started to lose connectivity and I need to do a ip release/renew and it comes back fine.The fact that this is happeneing on my PC would lead me to believe that it may be an issue with the Modem/router. Are there some settings I need to change on it since I am only using it for modem purposes? I have disabled the wireless on it but I don't think that would be the issue anyways

I am having an intermittent problem with my network connection dropping out for no apparent reason.When it drops, I still see the lights blinking on the NIC card, but cannot pass packets even to the router.Windows does not report the connection or the cable as disconnected when this problem is occurring.The problem will persist until I disconnect and reconnect the CAT-5e wire, or disable and re-enable the NIC.As soon as I do one of those 2 things, connectivity immediately returns (and works for another hour or so).I am running a legitimate copy of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit on an HP Pavilion.All of the latest Windows updates and the latest firmware drivers are installed.My ethernet connection is a wired Local Area Connection with a static IP address, gateway and DNS.The IP address, gateway and DNS settings are accurate and work for several other computers here.[CODE]

I manage the I.T. department for an ambulance service. We have 12 ambulances all equipped with Verizon 4G LTE Samsung hotspot cards. [code] There are laptops in each of the ambulances that connect to the wireless cards in the ambulance via DHCP. I get frequent problems when the vehicle get close to each other of them jumping from one card to another... which is not a huge problem, except when it happens the computer will have a "limited connectivity" to the internet. This sometimes will resolve after 3-5 minutes on its own, or if i disconnect from the wireless card and reconnect it will resolve, or sometimes by rebooting the wireless card it will resolve.We also need the ability to move the laptops from one ambulance to another as well so we need to have this flexibility.would I be better off establishing the same IP address to each of the wireless cards, still keeping different SSID's and different channel #'s and then hard code the IP address into the laptop instead of using DHCP to connect? My goal is to eliminate the limited connectivity issue.

Receive Buffer Size on the NIC is 64Kb (512 buffers). Receive Side Scaling on. 128 Transmit Buffers.Interrupt Moderation is turned on. Magic Packet features are turned off. Optimal Performance enabled.NIC Speed and Duplex are set to 100mbps Full Duplex wherever possible (automatic was also tried).802.1X authentication (EAP or PEAP) is disabled. Auto connection logic is disabled.Connection routes through two switches into a Belkin router; other devices on same networks unaffected.Much of my data is stored on a Network Attached Storage device, with UNC shares mapped to drive letters.Other Windows, Mac and Linux devices connected to the same NAS device have no problems staying connected.When the issue occurs, I can't ping the gateway, do DNS lookups or pass any packets as far as I can tell.I have tried swapping out the CAT-5e cables for other cables and even ran them through a cable tester.
Network fixes I have attempted from the OS level so far include:
~ Switching the dynamic port range to start at 10,000 and run for approximately 54,000 ports
~ Systematically reviewing every running service to make certain that only the essential ones are on
~ Disabling all NIC stacks except Client for Microsoft Networks, IPv4, File and Printer Sharing and Comodo
~ Attempted connections with Comodo turned completely off and its NIC driver disabled
~ Attempted rolling back the RealTek driver to an earlier one from the same family and device line
Using netsh I have tried the following settings:
~ netsh winsock reset catalog
~ netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log
~ netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log
~ netsh int tcp set global rss=enabled

I bought a Linksys router last summer for my PC and Xbox. The PC and XBox are hardwired into the router. About two weeks ago, my router began dropping connection throughout the day. Sometimes it happens 3+ times in an hour. Other times it works for several hours before it drops.I upgraded the firmware as one fix and did a hard reset of the router. Still drops connection.I changed the MTU to 1400 and it worked fine for several hours but then dropped again the next morning. Also, like others on the forums, when I changed the MTU and hit Save Changes, it just ran and ran, never timed out...but never showed that it finished the command to save (if you get my meaning).I downloaded the Cisco Wireless Magic program to troubleshoot. It tells the same thing everytime. Unplug your router for 10 seconds and start over...My PC sometimes flashes a warning when I am restarting the router that I am getting Limited or NO Connectivity.

We have plans for multiple ISPs and need to pick the correct device/architecture for that. single site: 3 ethernet hand offs (1 From ATT Fiber/10Mb pipe via their managed router, another one from ATT via Copper T1 via a separate circuit & managed router and the 3rd/last from Cable Modem/Comcast)
1.WAN hand off from another ISP from I will use ASA 5510 (already have) to use all the above 4 as inputs and then use the internal interface of the ASA 5510 as the default gateway for all the employees to browse the internet etc. so that1. If one one or more of the ISP lines die, we continue to operate (albeit lower bandwidth)
2. Also, we take advantage of the added bandwidth (even though it may not be the arithmetic sum of all the above).

I have to reboot my router a couple of times per day because I lose WAN access. This occurs with both the wireless and ethernet connections. Basically, I see that I'm connected to the router, but have a self-assigned IP. Power cycling the router does the trick. I never had this problem before, so I'm wondering what's up. The firmware has long been up to date. Router version is 8.0.

So i have this old WRT54GX v2. It have been running fine for the last ~5years. But since this morning i'm losing my wired connection after about 10 sec og connectivity, can't even ping it when it drops. If i turn it off for 10 sec the same problem occurs. Tried both static ip and dhcp. Wireless doesn't work either.

Intermittently, my hard wired laptop (and hard wired desktop) loose Internet connnectivity and when I look at the 4200 I see the status light flashing slowly like it was just rebooted. I am runnong 1.0.04, have reset to factory, reflashed the 1.0.04 code and done a 30-30-30 reset (so far no drops since the 30-30-30 reset but we'll see).
