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 :: 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 :: WRT150N Access Restrictions Not Working

Apr 3, 2011

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.

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 :: 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 :: 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 :: Cannot Connect To Wrt150N

Aug 8, 2012

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?

Linksys Wireless Router :: Wrt300n Linked To Wrt150n?

Aug 6, 2011

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.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT150N - Unable To Print From Mac Devices

Nov 9, 2012

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.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT150N Internet Port Dead?

Jul 28, 2012

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.

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.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT150N Successfully Up / Now Stopped Being Detected

Jul 10, 2011

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.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT150N Unit Disconnecting From Wired Connections

Jan 21, 2008

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.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT150N Disconnecting - Need To Remove Power To Reconnect

May 23, 2009

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.

Linksys Wireless Adapters :: WUSB100 Doesn't Connect In N-only Mode To WRT150N Router

Nov 12, 2011

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.

Now it still won't get internet from my router, we all have laptops in the house so wifi is essential. The internet light on the router still blinks green.[CODE]

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT150N V3 Dropping Wireless Network Randomly

Jul 4, 2011

I have two notebooks, one smartphone, and one blu-ray player that connects to my wireless network. My gaming PC is hard wired into the same router that broadcasts my wireless network.  About 5-6 times, my wireless network will drop and everyone connected to it wirelessly will lose their connection for about 1-2 minutes.  While my gaming PCs internet connection is undisturbed, all of my wireless devices can no longer "see" the network SSID and therefore connect to it.  The problem has been happening consistently for many months.
