Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT150N All Lights On Front Are Blinking
Feb 9, 2008
I had successfully set up my new WRT150N router and it was working. But then it just stopped after about 12 hours. All the lights on the front of the router are blinking. When I directly connect to the router, my computer can't detect it. I've browsed through these forums a bit and tried a few things - the reset button (60 seconds), unplugging the router, downloading the EasyLink Connect tool, but I'm still stuck.

I have an E1000 wireless router and after rebooting it from the web admin page it won't stop blinking. I tried following the reset instructions on this page but it is still blinking.

I can't access 192.168.1.1 via my browser either. Is there anything else that I can try before considering it defective?

I went online with a tech real quick before I found I beyond complimentary tech support. They say my router is working like a switch. I cannot get any wireless access and to the three direct connections to the router only one is working. The lights are constantly blinking, with the power light blinking every so often

Somehow in the process of researcing how to add my new laptop to the router, the router quit working and is now just blinking the blue panel lights.I was attempting to download Cisco Connect to my flash drive and instead it began to execute and I aborted that in about 10 seconds.

When I came home tonight, the lights on my E1000 hardware version 1 (that I have had for only 9 months) were, as best as I can describe, blinking like a digital clock blinks 12:00 over and over. All of the blue LEDs would light up at once, and go off, repeatedly and rapidly. This is the second time this has happened - the first time (about two weeks ago) I called a techie friend and he had me hard reset the router (30 on 30 off 30 on) and it worked, I just had to set up my wireless network again. This time, I just unplugged the cable from the back of the router, waited about 15 seconds and plugged it back in, and it went back to normal.
In case someone may be wondering, unplugging the from the surge protector did NOT work; when I first noticed the lights blinking, I unplugged it from the surge protector, waited about 10 seconds, and plugged it back in; the lights continued their rapid erratic blinking. I then did what I described above - I plugged it back into the surge protector, and then unplugged it from the back of the router, waited, and plugged it back in and it was back to normal.
I thought perhaps it needed a firmware upgrade, but checking the website, while I was able to locate the site to upgrade the firmware for E1000, I could only see an upgrade for hardware Version 2, and my router is Version 1 - which, from what I understand, is NOT what I want, as that firmware is for a different hardware version and may cause problems on my Version 1 router.
While my router seems to be fine now. Is my router starting to kick the bucket already? I haven't had it that long - bought it last September. Do I need to upgrade any software or firmware for it? If so, where do I get the correct upgrade for my hardware version?

I am on a surge protector and we lost power last night. This morning we were stilling experiencing a brown out but now the power is back 100%. I've walked through the E1000 router reset and not matter what I do, all the lights except the power light blink rapidly and dimly. Could the router be fried even though it's on a surge protector???? It's less than 6 months old so hopefully still covered by warranty.

I have a Cisco E4200 router connected behind my Comcast cable modem.
The small LED lights located at each network cable plug-in on my router are continually blinking orange all at the same time over and over.
I also notice on all my computers that are wired to this router the small LED lights near the network card plug-in are also blinking orange.
what these orange lights mean and if I have a problem?
My internet service seems to work OK but I'm not sure what is causing all these orange LED's to blink and is there something wrong that imay be slowing my system down.
I have upgraded my Cisco router to the latest firmware and also power reset my cable modem and router several times with no change in the problem.

My previous setup was a ProSafe GS108 switch, 10/100 Dlink router/switch used only as a switch, and a DI-655 router/switch. With this setup, activity when I wasn't using any of my computers was zero. There would be no blinking activity lights.
I dumped the ProSafe and 10/100 switch, and use the DI-655 only for my internet uplink and wireless, and now have everything else plugged into a Cisco GS200 switch. There is activity now every two seconds. I presume this prevents the Green energy saving features from kicking in as the ports are in use.
What's the difference that's leading to all this activity that presumably wasn't there before?

I came home after a few days vacation to find all the lights blinking on my router. I have tried unplugging and rebooting. Same result. I then bypassed the router and have internet on my main computer so I know it is a router issue. I use the router for my laptop and cell phone. Do I need to figure out how to do a master reset or is the router toast?

I have been given the task of unbricking a WRVS4400N V2 router. It just sits there with the Power and Diag lights blinking and does nothing else.I'm thinking I'm going to have to try to find some way to flash the firmware, because I'm seeing that this is a common problem with this router.I already tried support "chat" online, but after about 20-30 minutes waiting for someone to actually come into the chat room, I gave up.I did note that this model is not being sold anymore and won't be supported before very long, so this may be a gigantic waste of time, but I thought I would give it a shot.

I am replacing an old Catalyst 3550 (that has 2 Gig ports) with a 3750 (that has 4)- I used the exact same configuration in the new switch. When I plugged in the new 3750, the trunk ports started blinking from green to amber. I dont know why this is occuring- it SEEMS to be fine, but we havent thrown a whole bunch of traffic over it.

We recently installed 15 of these switches, and we're having a few odd, random network issues. But before I enumerate those issues, I have a simple question: are the connection lights on these switches *supposed* to blink rapidly? Or are they supposed to blink *normally*?On all other switches I've ever seen / worked on / worked around, when a cable is plugged into a port, the connection lights blink upon network activity. sometimes they blink a little faster when there's lots of activity, but mostly it's an almost lazy, random kind of blinking. When you look at a switch and every light on every port that's connected is blinking very rapidly, your first instinct is "No *wonder* nothing works around here!" and you find the port that's chattering and unplug it...all the blinkies go back to normal.Well, on the 15 switches we've installed, every light that's on blinks rapidly, as if there's an uncontrolled storm going on. Is that the "new norm"? Did I miss the memo, and there is nothing to be worried about here? Or are the rapidly blinking lights telling me there is, indeed, a problem?

I'm trying to setup Xbox live for my Xbox 360. I have the WRT150N wireless router and just got the wireless adapter that plugs into the 360. It said the adapter couldnt pick up the signal then i realized i needed to enter the WPA key from my wireless router. I checked the information on the router and it only gives me the serial number and MAC address. How I can find out what the WPA key is for the router??

I have a wrt150N that I am trying to determine whether it's dead or not. I cannot connect to it directly, even if I plug my laptop directly into the Router. Pressing the Reset button does nothing, the lights don't even flash?If I change my Ethernet cable it does represent which port I'm using but I can't ping 192.168.1.1 either? I want to try and flash the bios but A: there's no file to download for this model and B: I presume I need to be able to connect in order to do the flash?

I am currently at a friends house attempting to fix a situation he is having with his' wireless router, it is a Linksys WRT150n.Connection to the internet is possible via ethernet connectivity, however wireless is another story, devices can see the network but cannot connect to it, i have disabled the security key from the network to see if it was a simple password incorrection but still no dice.The current basic wireless settings have network mode set to mixed, and radio band, wide and standard channels set to auto, all other settings in the advanced tab are set to their default values.

I have the wireless-n wrt150n router. I have it wired to my computer and have it wirelessly connected to my ps3. But for some reason there is another unnamed device listed under My Network. My network was not secure before, but I changed it to secure when I noticed the unnamed device. How do I remove that unnamed device from my network?

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

In my home I have a cable modem wired to a links wireless router a wrt 300n in my office (only hardwired used in there) and I do not get such good distance to my back bedrooms with my laptop. I have run a Ethernet cable dead center of the house for my sat receiver that is connected and wired to the 300wrt. Here is my question can I use the 150 like a hub or switch at the office connected to the cable modem and use the wrt300n router so that I get wireless on that side of the house. Or in reading here I see I can maybe use a bridge. I do have a older Linksys wrt150n sitting in a box.I have read until my eyes are almost bleeding and am not sure. How I can get a better signal on the other side of the house.

I can get regarding using the Collobos Fingerprint software through my WRT150N router. I'm using Windows XP SP3 and immediatly after installing (which went extreamy well) it immediatly found and listed all of my home network printers. All of the wired and wireless windows based systems in my house can see and print to the printers without any problem. However, getting ANY of my apple devices (iPad, iPhone etc ) to print will not even show them as listed on the device when I select print on the devices. Collobos says that I have to make sure that Ports UDP 5353 doe Bonjour and TCP 6361 for FingerPrint need to be open both ways for it to work, I have no problem getting into the router settings and have set them up as stated above in Port Range Triggering and enabled. Also made sure Filter Multicast was not check marked in Security. Unfortunatly, that doesn't seem to work as I had hoped.

I have a router that I upgraded the firmware a while ago, I stopped using it several months ago, I was going to give this router to my sister, i tried a hard reset(30 seconds press reset, unplug, hold hold the reset, wait 20 sec, plug power, hold for 30 sec and release the reset) and I tried to login with admin admin and it doesn't accept it. I tried with another router dlink 614i and the same problem, after resetting it it's not accepting admin admin log/pass.

I am using a WRT150N with firmware v1.00.5. I have a Linux setup with Squid connected to the network with the gateway 192.168.23.254. The WRT150N has a gateway of 192.168.23.1. The WRT150N is also connected to an Apple Base Station which serves as the Access Point for WiFi users.Squid limits access for IP addresses listed under the .254 gateway. But once I change my gateway to 23.1, everything is accessible. I want to block sites as well on the WRT150N. But every time I try to put a new Access Restriction, it doesn't work.

It has happen suddenly : Internet is not working through WRT150N, though it work when directly connected to the modem. So I think it is a router issue :On the WRT150N, Internet light is flashing fast for 2 seconds, then is off for 2 seconds, then flashes, then is off and so on, wether there is a device (computer, modem, ...) plugged or not, through the blue ethernet connector.And sometimes, Internet light stays off from power on, whatever is done with ethernet connexions (yellow or blue).
When connected to the blue ethernet Internet connector, my pc ethernet lights don't blink (nor the link light or the data light)I have try the 30-30-30 reset cycle. But it doesn't improve.I have tried the loopback test : connect an ethernet cable from the one of yellow ethernet port of WRT150N to the blue ethernet of WRT150 N.Sometimes, the light for the yellow ethernet port goes on for a few seconds, while the Internet light continues to flash. After a few seconds, both go off.Sometimes, as soon as the loopback is made, the 2 lights go off, and if a computer is plugged to the yellow port, the ethernet lights of the computer and the router stays off.But I can access to WRT150N through Wifi and I can access to the web management.

Several "consultants" have told me that the problem probably lies within my Linksys WRT150N.However, upon pinging the router, it responds. I did not reset the router to factory default), I just pinged it, and it's there.My firmware is v1.0.04. My provider is Cox Communication, and the connection os cable modem.Curiously, my wife's I-Pad will not open these links either.Sample link that doesn't work: url... Upon website opening click on "weekly ad".

I've been using a WRT150N wireless router successfully up until a couple days ago, when it stopped being detected. I can plug my computer directly to my modem, and it works, so my internet connection is fine. I have an older BEFW11S4 router that I am using currently, but it is very slow compared the the N router. I've tried resetting the 150N router, and also the modem, and combinations of both, but nothing seems to work. I plugged the router into my computer without connecting the modem, but I'm not able to access 192.168.1.1 either. All the lights illuminate when the router is plugged in.

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.

My Linksys WRT150N recently gave up on me and started to give me weird issues and started to disconnect (all the ports including wired & wireless) anywhere from 3 to infinite number of times per day and my only solution was to remove the power chord and connect it. I tried all possible ways possible including resetting the router, stopping SSID broadcast, removing the encryption, etc, but non worked. As the router was out of warranty my only option was to take it to the dealers where they told me it would take 3 weeks to fix and God knows how much they would have charged me. But after flashing the firmware with the dd-wrt it has been almost 24 hours without a single problem and now I have the cool option of seeing who is connected to the router, etc. This is a MUST for every Linksys owner.
1. Reset the router using 30-30-30 and waited for 2 minutes for things to come back 2 normal
2. Flashed the router with "dd-wrt.v24_mini_generic.bin"
3. Reset again using 30-30-30 and wait again4. Flashed the router with " dd-wrt.v24_std_generic.bin"5.

We have the Linksys WRT150N router. A while ago it suddenly lost the name we gave it when we set it up and now it shows up as Linksys. Also, it is no longer secure, and sometimes we can't even see our network - it isn't even listed. How do I go in and change this? Will I have to reset the wireless information on my printer, etc?
