Linksys Wireless Router :: E3000 Range Has Suddenly Reduced

Mar 11, 2012

I have an E3000. I have moved to a new house. Here the router range has suddenly become very short. By very short I mean, it works well within the hall (10 meters), but as soon as I enter another room, it drops and doesn't work behind closed doors or through walls.  Also its next to a staircase, and wont work as I go downstairs and into a room.
 
I tried testing a D-link (N) router, and an Older Linksys (G) router, but all of them seem to be suffering the same problem. My wired connection is performing very well, and this prob is with Wifi only.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E3000 - Specifications On Range?

Apr 10, 2010

Any spec on the range of this router.  I bought it last night to replace my existing Linksys WRT300N and it appears it does not even come close to matching the WRT300N's signal range.  In fact, the new E3000 barely covers 1/2 the area my 300N did.
 
Network mode: Mixed
Channel Width: Auto (20Mhz or 40Mhz)
Channels: Auto DFS
 
I have the E3000 in the middle basement (same location at 300N) and i barely get a signal 1 floor above and 25 feet away.  In fact, I get no signal in my kitchen.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT150N Suddenly Not Working

Sep 7, 2012

Up until about midnight tonight, my router, which has been plugged in to my cable modem, has been working fine for years, both wired and wirelessly.  Suddenly, however, I went to log on to my desktop PC (wired connection; Windows 7), and I had no network connection.  ipconfig indicated "media disconnected."  My cable-based phone service (VOIP) is still working fine at this time.
 
First attempt - unplug router, wait 15 seconds, plug it back in.  Still no good, though my network sharing center indicated that the network connection was appearing/disappearing every few seconds, never actually getting "internet" connectivity.
 
Second attempt - attempted to use a WIFI-based device (iPad), which could not see my home network by name at all.
 
Third attempt - reset both the cable modem and the router, bringing the cable modem up FIRST.  Same results as the first attempt.
 
Fourth attempt - plug the wired PC directly into the cable modem - this worked fine and is how I am submitting this post as I type.  So the cable modem is working properly.
 
Fifth attempt - look up the information on how to reset the router to factory defaults.  Used a paperclip to depress the reset button for 10- and on a subsequent attempt, 30-seconds (no obvious "reset" blink pattern was observed).  Plug PC back in to router.  PC would not obtain any DHCP-based IP address and the network sharing center was still behaving as in the first attempt.
 
Sixth attempt - disconnect the cable modem uplink and see if I could get the local network functioning.  Now I noticed that the LED patterns on the router were behaving as:
 
- Power and my PC's slot number lit
- All lights lit
- All lights off
- Power and my PC's slot number lit
- etc

Linksys Wireless Router :: E3200 Suddenly Stops Working?

Jul 30, 2012

A few days ago, my Linksys E3200 router stopped working suddenly for no reason. The SSID was still broadcasted for a few days, but no internet connection. Today the SSID does not broadcast at all and I seemingly have no access to it.I tried power cycling it.I tried reconfiguring it via the CD included in the box.I tried solving it with the wireless tools in Windows.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Valet Plus M20 Stopped Working Suddenly

May 30, 2012

My M20 Valet Plus stopped working suddenly last night.  Now no power lights will come on and it now longer transmitts as a connection point . No apparent sign that it's alive. I've owned it troublefree for just over a year, but it is out of warranty. Any way to tell if there is hope of reviving it or if I'm just out of luck?  Nothing happened at my end to cause this -- no power interruptions or other odd occurrences.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Suddenly Can't Get Internet Connection On WRT54G2

Aug 27, 2011

My computers will not connect through to the internet.  It's not the modem, because if I connect my desktop directly to the modem, it connects fine (which is how I'm typing this now), but if I plug in the router, my desktop and my laptop (wireless) will show they're connected to the network, but that there is no internet connection available.  Support won't troubleshoot because I've had my router 1 year and 10 days (which I think is a crock of **bleep**) and the "Guide Me" thing is just running me around in circles.  I'm so pissed off I'm about to throw the router through a window and buy another (*NON*-Linksys) router, rather than pay $30 for one time tech support (which, with my luck, the same thing would happen again in 3 months, and the same directions wouldn't work then).  I've done a factory reset, and set up the router from scratch, done a firmware upgrade, everything, but it still won't connect

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT110 Suddenly Stopped Working?

Oct 17, 2010

A couple days ago I noticed that my wireless internet connection on my iPhone would cut in and out, then stopped all together. I also had no connection on my mac which is wired to the WRT110. I bypassed the WRT110 and then I had a connection on my Mac meaning the WRT110 is the problem. I haven't changed or added anything lately that could've caused this....

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54G Suddenly Stopped Working?

Jul 25, 2011

I have the Linksys WRT54G And it was working fine for years! Then today my computer shut down and when I turned it back on there was a connection but my computer was not responding to any commands. The icon shows full connectivity excellent connection. When I try to go to a web page it shows Connection Error and cannot get to any web pages.I am able to get on other wireless connections from neighbors but not mine. I have gone thru different directions on here and I am not technical and don't understand what is being said. I try to go to 192.168.1.1 and it asks for a password which I don't have. I have tried everything such as password and admin and get nothing.I am able to get my ip address and default gateway address and don't know the next step.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200v1 On 1.0.04 Suddenly Causing Wifi Disconnect?

Jun 19, 2012

I've had an E4200v1 in use as my home's main router for about 3 mos.  And while many others have reported disconnect problems (I think), I myself have never seen any.  My router and its N & G wifi networks have been rock solid.  Until yesterday that is.Now all of a sudden, most of my family is complaining about wifi disconnects, slow speeds, etc.  (My primary PC is hard-wired so I don't see any problems whatsoever... the problem apears to be wifi-only)And the Apple devices (OSX & IOS) seem to have the most severe problems.  But Windows devices have also seen problems, just not as critical.Also, it's worth noting that I've been running 1.0.04 the whole time, without any problems... it seemed relatively stable to me.  That is until yesterday.
 
I've bounced the router, I've disabled/re-enabled Wireless G network.  I've switched mode from "mixed" to "G-only" back to "mixed".  I've changed the channel width back to the default of Auto (I had been using 20Mhz), which increased my throughput (as measured by Qcheck) so I'm leaving it "Auto".

Linksys Wireless Router :: Wrt320n Suddenly No Longer Allows Wifi Connection

Aug 5, 2011

I have had my router for at approx. a year and a half and it has worked flawlessly.  Now my PC which is plugged into the router still works fine, I'm just not able to connect wirelessly anymore.  I've tried the basic things like unplugging and rebooting, nothing changes.  The lights still say it is transmitting.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT120N Suddenly Stopped Connecting To Internet

Jul 5, 2011

Well, I have a WRT120N Router for 11 months to now. I never had a problem with the Router, but since 2 days ago, It didnt connect to the internet.
 
My network is: Internet > Cable Modem > WRT120N > Computers
 
As I said, the problem is that the Router doesnt has Internet Connection.
 
Things to take in consideration: The Cable MODEM ISN'T the problem Because if i connect the modem directly to a computer, I have Internet connection without problems.I Diconnected and Connected both Modem and Router in several ways and several times, and it doesnt work.I also tryed clonning my PCs MAC address to the Router and it was the same.The Router Indeed receives the External IP Address from the Modem, and also, it changes if i restart the modem (as my ISP IP is DHCP). But there is NO internet conection.The Router had the 1.0.05 Firmware, and i upgraded to 1.0.06, and the problem persists.  Another thing to take in account is that if I turn off my modem and the I turn it On, sometimes, the router receives Internet connection, but in matter of Seconds (minutes as much), the internet connection falls.
 
This is NOT an ISP problem, because as I said, if I connect the Modem Directly to any PC, i have a perfectly normal Internet Connection, And also, I called my ISP and they Said me that there werent any problem on their network.
 
I have also tryed with the "Router Dianostics" (the Ping and Traceroute options that are in the Router's Webend and also, no conection. So its NOT a Cables problem.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E1000 Suddenly Stopped Connecting PPPOE?

Jan 24, 2013

I have a Linksys E1000 router just upgrade to the latest 2.1.0.2 firmware...I have a PPPoE connection which used to run smoothly on the router..however off late...suddenly the router stopped connecting..it always shows "connecting" in the status tab of the router page...and eventually says failed to obtain IP address...however when I attach the cable directly into my PC it works just fine.I also had a word with my internet provider...he's kept the MAC open (or something like that)  so he said that isn't the issue and he keeps saying there must be some issue with the router. However, occasionally the router DOES connect for half hour or so and then just refuses to connect again !..

I connected it back to the router and nothing. No shares of any sorts. It shows it detected the drive. Does not show USB speed and does not allow you to create new shares.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E2000 Suddenly Choppy When Playing HD Video

Jan 14, 2012

I stream a lot of 720p HD video over my network (both local storage and Internet streaming). I bought the E2000 about 5-6 months ago after my last router stopped working, and it has been working flawlessly up until now.
 
So a few days ago, I was streaming a live basketball game, and noticed that all of a sudden, it would no longer stream at 3Mbps HD quality (or even 1.5Mbps or 800Kbps; I had to drop it to the lowest setting of 300Kbps to stream, and even then it was iffy). I thought...well, maybe this service is getting more popular, and they just need to fix their pipe.
 
Then, last night, I went to watch a locally-stored HD video (720p, around 4-5Mbps), which is something I've done almost everyday for the last six months with this router, and when I went to play it, the movie would play for maybe 4-6 minutes without any trouble, and then suddenly, it would just start stuttering (i.e. play 5-10 frames, freeze for 1/4 second, play, freeze, and repeat for the next 20-30 seconds of the movie). It would then play fine again for 5-10 minutes, and then suddenly do the same. It would repeat this process throughout the entire course of the movie.
 
Now, keep in mind, I've made NO changes to my setup, networking, Internet connection, or file server. I decided to bring up a network monitor to look at the connection while a video was playing, and this is the result: url...You can see the normal spikes of data transmission on the left and right of the graph, but then the connection just drops off in the middle. That exactly corresponds to where the video begins to get choppy. Then, when it starts to spike again, the movie beings playing smoothly.

 - I was running in mixed G/N mode, so I tried switching to N-only (only one of my computers has an N adapter, so this would not be ideal for the moment). No luck, still choppy.
 
- Tried restarting every single computer, including file server. Still choppy.
 
- Tried making sure the router wasn't overheating. We live in a cold region, I stuck it against a window that was 30 degrees F in temperature. Still choppy.
 
- I tried changing some of the packet size/frequency settings in the "Advanced" section of wireless setup, messed with the frequency, changed the channels, etc. Still choppy.
 
- I checked to make sure I have the latest firmware for the router, I do.
 
- Played with relocating all of my antennas and such, even putting them in unsightly places to make sure I'd get a strong signal. Still choppy.
 
I can't really think of anything else to try, and it's just so odd that this has worked without any trouble for months now. It has to be the wireless function on the router, because when I try streaming it with a wired connection, it works just fine. The ONLY difference I noticed (and I don't know when this happened) is that one of my neighbors set up an N-router, which hasn't been there before. They moved in maybe 1-2 months ago, so I'm guessing that the router has been around for that long, or slightly less...which perhaps could coincide with my timeline for this not working anymore. Could that be a possible issue, and if so...way around it (again, note I've already tried changing channels, etc. I can't run on 5.0GHz frequency because my adapter doesn't support it).

Linksys Wireless Router :: E1200 System Suddenly Stops Working?

Oct 30, 2012

Right now I have my computer (iMac early 2012 summer purchase) plugged directly into the wall via ethernet cable for internet access.  I have only begun doing this in the past week because my E1200 wireless router has stopped working properly.  I have reinstalled and reset to factory settings and set up with Cisco Connect and setup manually over the past week troubleshooting every possible way I have ever known how. My internet, obviously, is working.  And when I set up the wireless network it connects properly and obtains an IP address and the lights on the back of the unit light up correspondingly and correct.  But I cannot connect to the internet via the router, wirelessly or plugged directly into it.  Yet when I take the internet cable and plug it straight into my computer it works.Mainly just need to know if this can be fixed or if I need to go return this unit and get a replacement.  The router was purchased two months ago and has not had any issues since I first set it up until a couple of weeks ago and my phone is using up all of my cellular data plan without being connected to my wi-fi...

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54GL Setup Suddenly Not Letting To Change Wi-Fi Channel

I have a Linksys WRT54GL version 1.1. The firmware is 4.30.11 (European version).In the Basic Wireless Settings I can't change the Wireless Channel. It remains at channel 1, and I simply can't alter it.This is strange, because in earlier firmware versions, I was able to change the channel without any problems at all. I would like to continue to use this firmware version. How can I solve this problem?

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT400N Router Suddenly Has No Apparent Wireless Switch

Jul 18, 2011

Have a 400N wireless router that has been working fine with several wireless devices on a small home network for about a year. Nothing has been changed but suddenly all of the wireless wireless devices dropped offline and none see the network signal in their search to reconnect. All of the indicator lights on the router look good and I have unplugged power and reconnected first the cable modem and then the router but still no signal. Logging into the router seems to show that it is working OK but there is apparently no air signal for the client devices to detect so only the wired devices are showing up. It's as if everything is working except the antenna function. Are there any suggestions short of uninstalling and reinstalling the whole set up and see what happens? I have taken my laptop to a nearby hotspot and confirmed that it is receiving other network signals fine so it has to be something to do with the router itself.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT150N V1.1 / Suddenly Wireless Connection Became Extremely Slow

Feb 25, 2013

For the last 4 years I’ve been using the Linksys Router, model WRT150N V. 1.1 and never had any problems—until now.Yesterday I noticed that my wireless devices (i.e., two computers, tablet and Internet radio) either don’t work at all (the Internet radio) or the pages load extremely slowly—for example, the tablet has become, for all intents and purposes, unusable.  Since my ‘main’ computer is connected directly to my cable internet, I know that there is nothing wrong with the Internet connection itself, only with wireless connection.I disconnected the Linksys Router for 2 minutes and reconnected it, but to no avail.  I know that I have not made any changes to any software/hardware that might affect the speed.Since I also happen to have access to another wireless Internet connection (a different provider), I connected to that network and all my wireless devices were working perfectly.  Therefore, I think the problem must be with the router. I am using Windows XP (on the main computer, where the router and Internet cable are attached).

Linksys Wireless Router :: E3000 No Address From ISP On WAN?

Apr 2, 2012

I have an e3000 that cannot obtain an address from the ISP.  I can get an address on the computer and an old router by directly connecting the cable to the computer or the router.  I can also daisy-chain the e3000 to the old router, and I can get an address on the e3000 from the old router.  I have hard reset the e3000, changed firmware from the Linksys to TomatoUSB and back to Linksys, and I still can't get it to work.  It worked fine on Saturday until a bolt of lightning hit close to the house.  Since then, I cannot get the e3000 to connect to the ISP.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E3000 Gets Slow After A While

Feb 17, 2011

It seems like after a certain amount of time, maybe a few days... my E3000 gets slowww.. I'm talking dog slow.  And it's not just the internet, I have a media server connected to it, and usually when I put something on it, the transfer rate is about 3.5MB/s (not bits, bytes).  But everything is slow, I top out at speed of maybe 1/6 normal on the internet as well.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E3000 Cannot Keep Signal

Aug 21, 2011

We have  a wireless internet service. Not satellite. We basically have an antenna on our house that picks up the signal from a tower a mile or two away. I used the e3000 router when we lived in town with broadband internet and it worked fine. I can't get it to keep a hold of a signal. I can connect to the router from the computers but the router drops the signal from the tower. I have an old router that the wireless company was kind enough to lend me that works  , but the signal is weak and it could die at any moment... I"m at my wits end.. I have an expensive piece of equipment that wont hold the signal. I have updated the firmware and the Cisco connect software..

Linksys Wireless Router :: Testing QoS On New E3000

Apr 19, 2010

Has anyone tested QoS on the new E3000? Whenever I add an application (e.g. Voice Device) and set priority to Medium or High, my upstream bandwidth for everything else is immediately cut significantly, even when I'm not using the priority application. 
 
For example, with QoS disabled, I can consistently get 10Mb upstream (speedtest.comcast.net).  As soon as I enable QoS, upstream is capped to exactly 2Mb! On my old router, there was an option to set the total upstream bandwidth -- but on the E3000 there is no such option that I can find.
