Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT160 N Not Starting / Stuck When Lights Comes On?
May 14, 2012
I have a LinkSys WRT 160 N wireless router, the router just stopped starting abruptly, when i power cycle the router, all the 4 ethernet light come on, and that is where it gets stuck. I've tried using the reset button but there is no effect after i depress the button.
I have a WRT160NV2 connected to Internet through cable and wanted to connect it wirelessly to a WRT120N that is far from it in order to expand its signal. Is it possible to do it wirelessly or the only solution is to connect them with cable?
I have a WRT160 V2 router with firmware v2.0.02. I have had the router for years without any problems. A few months ago I have started to see an issue where I lose connection to my internet on my laptop, and wifi on my phone at the same time. I have wifi calling on my phone and it disconnects also at the same time. All of a sudden, everything will stop working, then about 40 seconds later, it all works again. I lost the connection maybe every 30 to 60 mins. I rely on wifi calling for my primary phone, and I end up getting cut off when talking to people. BTW wifi calling is for all tmobile phones, but also normal wifi to surf the web on my laptop and phone drops too at the same time.
I purchased a Linksys E1000 this week when my old Linksys WRT160 bricked during a firmware update. The E1000 works fine with all computers EXCEPT two Compaq Presarios running Windows Vista SP2 with the Atheros adapter. These two connect to the router, but not to the internetThey said to update the driver for the Atheros adapter. It is already up to date. The two compaq computers worked fine with the WRT160 router, with the same security settings.I have been able to get the Compaq computers to work only if I disaable wireless security or sign in using the Guest account that the new E1000 configures.I am VERY displeased with the Linksys product, and ESPECIALLY their poor customer service and attitude. The problem is with their router, not with the Compaq computers, since they work with all other routers.
Are the lights supposed to always blink in random order..the power light is solid but other 2 beside it and the 1 where the desktop is plugged in are blinking like crazy.
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.
My e1000 router (v 2.1) has reset itself and after that all lights except the wireless adapter has gone solid blue, I have no ethernet conectivity and hard reset the router did not work.
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.
when i bought the router, the function worked fine, even before my first firmware upgrade. Can CISCO fix this? I tried everything...power off, reboot, etc...that stupid button is not working....
if something as simple doesn't work, what's next on this router to break?
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.
My EA4500 is not working. The power indicator light is on but the green and yellow lights on the Internet port are not flashing and the modem the EA4500 is connected to show no activity on that port. Also, the EA4500 is not broadcasting so I can't even connect to it to use Cisco Connect to troubleshoot. I tried resetting it but it did nothing. This has happened before but is usally fixed with a reset.
I have a WRT 54G2 v1.5. On the status page it shows the address as 127.0.0.1 subnet mask 255.0.0.0. On the setup page the router is setup to use DHCP, with an IP address of 192.168.1.1. I have reset the router several times and flashed the firmware (once) to the latest version.
I have the same problems with the Cisco EPC3925?Everytime a wired pc reboots/boots everyone on the network losses internet, also wireless is disconnected. Also everyone get unidentified network and later its set to public network.We are using a Sitecom switch LN-120. I have to unplug this switch, then restart the router to fix the problem each time. Then I can plug it in again and everything is fine.The router will not restart (does not go further then 2nd blinking LED.) if I do not unplug the switch.
I downloaded the firmware from the Linksys site. I'm using IE v9 on a Win7 Pro x32. I'm using the E4200 as an access point so DHCP is disabled, no cable in the WAN port.
I uploaded the firmware but it seems to be stuck for 30 minutes at 98%. I read some threads saying it takes a while, but I'm not sure if it is locked up. The screen says not to interrupt the process so I don't want to reboot/reset and brick the router.
I have an E1000 Wireless-N router. I was having trouble with connecting to the internet so I disconnected the main power supply from my E1000 router. When I put it back on, the blue light above the middle button with the double arrows on it came on. It was never on before. The manual says that it indicates a wi-fi connection. I do not have wi-fi.
I've tried to upgrade/downgrade process twice with the same result. After few days without any issue 2.1.39.145204 gets stuck (=routing to internet doesn't work although I can ping from wireless network to all LAN IPs) and I need to reboot the router.
I have about 7 devices. Guest network is disabled, parental control is disabled, USB is not used, DHCP service is used, WPA2 mixed personal mode is used, MAC filtering is disabled, DMZ is disabled, DDNS is disabled, port triggering is not used. All the rest of settings are in default values.
As far as I notied the previous version 2.1.39.144146 doesn't get stuck at all.
since last nite my router E1200 has been having speed up and down problems.first it goes to 150mb/s then back down to 1 for a few minutes, usualy its stuck at 72mb/s which is a far cry from its rated 300mbps but qi'd rahter have that than 1-2mbps.i'd be happy with 150mbps but that only lasts 5mins then goes down to 1-2mbps and i have to reset my connection.
I have bought a new WRT54G2 router since the old one broke down. When I log into the 192.168...and click wireless, it takes me to this window that says Searching for your Client Device....If you haven't clicked wi-fi protected setup button please do so now. It's stuck at 98% and I click on the bottom middle button with the 2 arrows constantly and nothing is happening.
When trying to connect (wireless or wired), I can't get past the authenticating status. Have used this computer with same router for 3 years. If there was ever a problem, I would unplug/replug the router.I am currently connected through my neighbor's unsecured network.
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
like today randomly my internet went down. And then everything changed back to its original like my SSID from Netcom it changed back to wireless and everything was default and also the PPP was off so i wasn't able to connect to the internet. So i went to my router setup page on the internet or whatever and turned it back on. So now like the internet on my computer which has a cable to the router works but the wireless internet doesn't work for my laptop nor ipod. I can see the connection on the laptop and ipod but when i try to connect it keeps saying that it is unable to connect.
I bought a v1. wusb600n for win XP sp3, recently for no apparent reason, it became stuck in country region #2 (ch 36 to 64) when i use WZC or even netstumbler to view networks. I have tried uninstall/reinstall of driver, tried using ralink's driver and even another usb600n, but the problem remains.
Checking the INF files shows that all the drivers are trying to install as region #0 (36-64 + 149-165) but they are always showing as region #2
The PW has been changed, I got the new one correct but upon entering it on my laptop it goes around circle showing,"Wireless network detected" and then,"Unable to connect to preferred wireless network".It never works. I don''know haw to fix this problem. It did not happen on my iPad.

i'm new in wireless and have delegated a task to setup a wireless connection between two buildings (it should be on the same IP subnet), app. 300m apart. How to perform this task, what Cisco AP to use, antennas. I do have a WLC these APs will be connecting to. Currently have few extra 1142i AP - not sure if this can be used for bridging.
