Networking :: Wireless Network So Unstable With NSA 2400
Aug 21, 2012
Before I put in place any network security appliance POC, my wireless network worked fine.Note: ethernet works fine all the time and confirm my internet is okay too. Just wireless.
First time, I got Palo Alto vendor to setup POC. It screwed up my wireless. We removed on 1st day itself and re-configured everything all over again.Now before holiday break, Sonicwall vendor setup POC for us. It worked fine though for 1 week and now the wireless gone crazy again.
3 bars, 2 bars, 5 bars, sometimes no bar.Then when there's POC, my guest wireless network will dead too.
I can't figure out the problem and what's causing such instability?If I understand correctly, this is how my network works:-
sonicwall nsa 2400 (router 192.168.1.1)
cisco linksys wireless (before sonicwall, we used this as router. Now used as wireless access point).
tp-link 48-Port 10/100Mbps + 4-Port Gigabit Web Smart Switch
is there anything in particular I should take note about? or any tools to analyze my wireless network problems?

I recently replaced my old WRT54G router with a E3200 router.
Unfortunately, ever since my wireless network is a lot more unstable than before. I very often experience serious lag spikes and drops in speed. Very often I experience serious lag for a couple of seconds after which everything returns to normal. I notice this the most in online gaming, but it is also noticeable while browsing the web. When downloading large files (e.g. steam games), the download speed also seems to suffer from this by dropping every now and then.
There are no connection drops however. And it only seems to affect the wireless network.
I have configured the E3200 router manually using the Web UI and is has been configured exactly the same as my WRT54G: i.e. only 2.4GHz band enabled with b/g/n, WPA2 security, MAC filtering on, no throtling/parental control/port forwarding, UPnP disabled. The E3200 is in the exact same place as the the WRT54G was.
Things I have done so far for troubleshooting: I used inSSIDer to monitor the wireless network and it's signal strength seems about the same as the WRT54G. I changed channels for best signal strength (there is only one other wifi network that seems to be configured as a dual channel N network; 3 other networks with very low signal strength) and have tried every channel.
I updated the fimware to the latest version (Ver.1.0.04 (Build 1)) and did a factory reset and power cycle afterwards.
I noticed that switching channels can account for 5-10Mbps differences in internet speed. Something I never noticed with the WRT54G. The lag spikes occur more often on some channels than on others. This seems not related to the speeds I get on the channel.
I really can't imagine that a router marketed as High Peformance router with superior speed and superior range is less stable than my old WRT54G router.
Is there something I can do to improve stability of this router?

I had problem with my wirless network. My network had wireless controller 4402 (version 5.2) and some AP 1130AG and using power injector supply power for AP. I setup AP radio with 802.11 b/g/n 2.4GHZ. but my user complaint about 2 problem with the laptop distance AP 5 meter
- Speed of wireless card on laptop often change from 11 Mbps to 18 Mps or 36 Mbps and unstable.
- Ping from laptop to server had lost 20 % packet When I ping wired connetion to server this is recceived 100%).

I am using a Negear Wireless USB adapter for the Dell Dimension 2400. The computer can see the wireless adapter in Device Manager; but it does not pick up any wireless signals.
There is a wireless switch to turn on/off for the laptop, but a desktop does not have such feature.

My desktops _usually_ connect, and then the connection will drop/go slow(14400 slow)/give that little yelow triangle on top of the wifi icon.First i had an edimax wifi PCI, now i have a trendnet wifi PCI. They both do the same thing.If i connect my HTC hero and start internet sharing, it works very well, and is stable. My ethernet works fine as well. It is like my computer is immune to PCI cards?I have tried with different wifi APs now, but its still the same.I have a zyxel adsl modem, and a linksys wifi AP hooked up to that. I noticed, that when my desktop is connected, the zyxel will get some kind of overflow from the linksys. It says "client reached max number of sessions per host" It's like my desktop is killing the network. I have tried many things. Drivers, fail safe, registry cleaner(I know), killing all unnescessary program, switching the PCI ports, but none of it seems to work.
I had my laptop running connectify (access point app) and it actually worked fine, but today it won't connect to that either.I'm going to create another partition on my harddrive, and install fresh windows 7 on that, and see if it does the same. But even if it doesn't I _want_ to find out what is causing this instabillity.When i try running the network diagnostics, it says DNS error, or that the router is fail. But my laptop works fine.Also, when doing speed tests, my laptop gets normal speeds, and my desktop is VERY slow DL, but normal UL ?In speed tests my desktop is very slow, but stable, but during the test, my laptop will first go like 2 mb/s - 3mb/s DL and suddently BURST up to like 64 mb/s although i only have 10 mbit line? It's like its buffering or something. Very weird behaviour, but working fine.And no, i do not have torrent programs or whatever running.Some says that i shout try and change wifi channel and bands, and avoid "mixed" mode, but none of it works. Always the same problem.ATM. my computer can't connect to any wifi at all. It keeps having the yellow triangle.

I have an ME2400 running private V LANs. The primary V LAN is 20 and the secondary V LAN's are 21 and 22. Currently, management traffic is still on V LAN 1. My question is now that the ME2400 does not have anything plugged into v lan 1; the line protocol goes down, which means that I can no longer access the switch remotely. Is it possible to keep a SVI up up even though nothing is plugged into that V LAN? If so, how do I go about doing this?

the 2400 and Wifi though I was unable to find anything specific enough for my scenario.I'm trying to connect my Dell 2400 Desktop to wireless internet using a Wifi USB...It is able to connect to the Router, but unable to connect to the internet. I've gone and downloaded the suggested drivers for the desktop, though still having the same issue. In the bottom right corner of the taskbar it will show a strong connection to the router, though I have a LAN connection that says " Local Area Connection: A Network Cable Is Unplugged" and it lists the connection through Broadcom. Here is the relevant information I have (judging from what previous posts have looked for).First Up, the Wifi USB I'm using is a NetGear WNDA3100V2 GenieI've gone an done the ipconfig, and tried pinging sites, though the pings timed out and returned nothing. The results of the ipconfig are:
Windows IP Configuration
Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : Mike
Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . :

I recently moved back home with my desktop that use to be plugged in via ethernet. I bought a PCI Wireless card and I have been having problems connecting to and staying connected with the network. Once I am connected the connection speed is very slow. I have tried reinstalling windows and my card several times, even going to the store to swap it out. I have a feeling that one simple setting is changed, but I can't figure out what it is. I am currently on a laptop that is also running windows 7, but has none of the problems of the desktop. I tried to run the Netalyzer program on the desktop, however, the network disconnected as soon as I tried. Here is the link to the results from my laptop that is connected to the network: ICSI Netalyzr — Results

So my issue has been going on for a while now a while after I replaced the router from a DIR-535(If I recall) to a DIR-635. Now the problem resides in my computer however as it would seem that I randomly tend to loose internet acces and it only applies to my computer in the form of obviously loss of internet and the horrid warning triangel in the corner. I've tried removing and restarting the connection without any succes, I also tried to do a ipconfig /release /flushdns and /renew but it didnt seem to do anything either, basically been throwing attempts at a wall to see what works.
As far as the actual card goes it's a Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter.

I am currently seeing some stability problems with a 2504 WLC and a wireless bridge (Netgear WNCE2001 to be exact). The wireless bridge can connect to the network, but is very unstable. It will disconnect after 5 - 60 minutes of operation.
I believe part of the issue is that the bridges, when associated, do not show up as a WGB according to the WLC.
Any WGBs that are known to work well in a controller based environment? The WLC is running 7.0.220.0 and the APs are 1142s and 3502s.

I am trying to find a tool that will monitor the web traffic for one specific user. If it is capable of bundling it into a report that would also be a benefit. I have searched, but not come up with much aside from broad network monitoring tools. All that is really needed is to capture all the activity from http traffic for this one specific user/PC (since she uses the same PC all the time). We have a Sonicwall NSA 2400 as our internet filter, but I was not able to locate anything on there for specific user reporting.

I recently installed a very basic version of XP on my old laptop (Gateway MT3707).After hours of searching for the correct drivers, I found them, and installed them. After installing the correct drivers for wireless internet I was able to pull up the list and find my network on it.When double clicking on our wireless network it asks for a network key (also called WEP key or WPA key).Now we have a password for our network, but after an exhausting amount of tries that won't work. I not sure if that is what its looking for. In our apartment we run mac OSX, windows vista, etc., but usually the password for the network is satisfactory. I have never ran into this problem.I hate to be a noob, but I don't know where to go from here.

My company has a Cisco IAD 2400 which is handling our phones and the internet (from Service Provider). We are adding a second router, a Cisco 1921, to our network,I think I have everything set up correctly. One department is using the 192.168.2.0/27 subnet. I can ping each computer within that subnet. Also, within this subnet, I can ping the router interface at 192.168.2.1. I can ping 192.168.1.2 successfully as well. This is the interface on the 1921 that goes to the 2400. However, if I try to ping 192.168.1.1 (interface on 2400), I get "Reply From 192.168.1.236: Destination Host Unreachable" I get the same thing if I ping 8.8.8.8.Within the 1921, I can ping 192.168.1.1 and 74.125.224.72 (random google ip) successfully.

She has a Dell Dimension 2400, Service Tag 2VG3341 running Win XP Home with Service Pack 2.
At startup we get a message from Norton A/Virus 2003 - Symantec cannot scan your email address, because your network is not properly configured.
Canceling this message and trying to connect to the internet using the Dial –up connection gives this message:
Error 720: A connection to the remote computer could not be established. You might need to change the network settings for this connection.
I have checked the Network Properties as per Windows Troubleshooter, but cannot find anything unusual.
I have also ran the Dell Diagnostic CD, but these tests have are all clear.
The Windows firewall is also disabled
When I try to enable it I get the error message –
Windows Firewall settings cannot be displayed because the associated service is not running. Do you want to start the Windows Firewall Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service?
After clicking on “Yes” A dialog box shows “Starting the Windows ICS” Then comes the message “Windows cannot start the Windows Firewall /ICS Services”

I bought a Netgear N600 wireless adapter (WNDA3100).I used wired before mostly without problems but was annoyed by the cables.My router is a Netgear WNDR3300 and I never had problems with it.The problem is that sometimes my wireless adapter just stops working and drops the connection.I use it since a few days, and it already happened several times.It happened especially when I was streaming videos to my PS3 (my PS3 is also wireless). It also happened while I was watching Youtube videos. When this happens, I need to unplug the adapter and plug it again. Sometimes, I need to restart the whole computer for my adapter to work again.Is this normal with USB wireless adapters? This is unacceptable to me.I want a stable connection.

I recently found that whilst using my WIRED connections, web pages have been opening slower at times. My ping times to google.com usually is around 72-84 ms which I continue to get if I hook up the cable modem directly to the PC. As soon as I utilize the Linksys router, I start getting higher ping times anywhere from 72-300 ms. Firmware version is 1.5.01 which I recently upgraded to. I tried resetting and so on. Is there an older firmware version that works better? I'm currently running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

2) I need internet connectability i have a working att wireless router brand new just got delivered today and i have a d link wireless reciever thing i just got from my buddy but how to get the internet up n running without boring holes in the floor / wall or dragging a cable 18 miles from the router to the computer so i need it to be wireless
3) I am not sure what to do with it do i just need soft ware updates or do i need hardware updates to get it up to speed with the so called "big boys even though its far larger than any laptop my goal is to have a fast running internet capable game capable and multitasking computer with which i can do.

I have a Linksys WRT110 wireless router for my desktop via a D-link DWA-125 wireless adapter. The OS is Windows 7 64 bit and I mainly go online to play games. This has been a while and every time I play games, which requires stable connection, I will get this lag (the ping goes as high as 600ms for every few seconds then goes back to normal).I tried many ways to troubleshoot and find no solutions. I updated firmware for USB adapter, power cycling the router and reset the router many times.

I bought the WMP600N because Linksys and Microsoft listed it as 'compatible' for Windows 7 x64. My experience:
- unstable and weak connection
- pings to websites like google.com drops, average: 1 out of 3
- low signal, on the same spot my three years old HP-laptop with 'a build in wireless card' has full signal strength in Windows 7
- it works well under Windows XP (32 bit)
I am convinced that drivers for the WMP600N are not ready for Window 7 x64. Linksys (or Ralink, which developed the chipset), release a proper driver for the WMP600N.

Region : Netherlands
Model : TL-WDR4900
Hardware Version : V1
Firmware Version : 121211
ISP :
after changing from a Thomson router with wifi to the TP-link WDR-4900 I find that the wifi is very unstable. The 2.4GHz is operating on the same channel as my previous router (channel 8 - which is the lest busy channel around my house), and none of my neighbours have wifi on the 5GHz band. Almost all devices in my home regularly have to reconnect to the wifi, both on the 2.4GHz as on the 5GHz (tested with more than 8 devices). Almost every 15 minutes I see a "wifi channel disconnected" message, 10 seconds later followed by a "wifi connected" message. the Wifianalyser app on my tablet confirms that the wifi signal drops once in a while to zero. I use the latest stable frmware (I read that there is beta firmware but I don't like to loose warranty). The stability seems to unrelated to the amount of traffic on the wifi network.
Will this be fixed in the next firmware of the TP-WDR-4900 ?

If I send video file(overall bit rate is 17.5Mbps) to client with 2.4Ghz band, it always freezes and go repeatedly around 1 second interval. the distance around 10m away without any wall, open space actually.
But same condition with above, cheaper wireless router no problem at all. It happens only with EA4500. And there are no any parameters setting menu actually.

I have had my EA2700 for about 6 months now. Have had no problems until about a month ago. One night I could not get the router to connect to the internet. First thoughts were that the cable connection had gone down. When I finally started to trouble shoot I was able to confirm the cable connection is fine by connecting to the modem directly.
Out of the modem I am getting 14+ Mbps. (I only Pay for 10 So a plus there)
I could not get the router to connect to the internet. I ended up resetting the router and reconfiguring it. Ever since then I have been getting really unstable connection to the internet.
When I connect directly to the modem (cabled) I am getting a nice steady connection . When I add the router and hardware in I get a good connection only a Mbps or 2 drop off and a pretty steady connection. Then when I connect over WIFI I get a much larger drop off depending on if the device is a 2.4 or a 5
The connection is extremely unstable. The curve on the graph {URL} is very peaky and has extreme highs and lows. This is multiplied when running on the GHz (as my laptop runs on). My Iphone running on GHz. I can pull down 9 Mbps but the curve is still up and down. Iphone on GHz I barely get Mbps and it is extremely choppy on the graph.
I am able to back this up with my I PAD. I can only confirm the 2.4 number with the laptop as it does not have GHz radio in it. So every thing that us running on the 2.4 is getting poor connections.
I also suspect that the through put on the wired side is poor as well. I am unable to prove it as every test I run shows a good connection but netflix has been locking up and I have to restart what ever I am watching 2 to even 10 times a show. I need to do more testing to be sure the network or the devices are to blame.

Just installed a refurb EA4500 this past weekend after testing it for a week. The regular wireless network is very stable, but not much faster than my single-band DLink DIR655. Guest network seems to drop out from two connected iPhones, and when the connection drops, you have to re-login and type in the guest password everytime. The linksys firmware is up-to-date( Linksys smart wifi)and so are the iOS on the 2 iPhones. Just to add, on my old DLink, the guest network comes up secured also, so when you type in the passcode, it remembers it next it comes in range unlike the Cisco, which requires login at a web interface.

I have an NTFS formatted USB disk drive (Western Digital My Passport Essential Black 320 GB WDBAAA3200ABK) attached to the WRT160NL wireless router (Firmware Version 1.0.02), and I have video, picture and music files on the USB disk drive in three folders: Videos, Music, Pictures. Auto-scan is disabled, I scan the media files manually by clicking on the 'Scan All' button.
PROBLEM 1 The worst problem is that the router is very sensitive to files that can't be recognized by the router as media files. For example if there are subtitle files (*.str) between the media files, then strange and nondeterministic things happen: some valid media files are skipped and not included in the media database; some files included but the file names are mixed. The most irritating in the bug is that there is no log file, where you could find the problem, and so you never know which file cause the problem, and you have to browse through all the files hunting for the cause.
PROBLEM 2 When the router is in the process of scanning the media files, then the internet (WAN) connection often can't be used, although the router can be accessed and the status says it is connected to the internet.

i have a little annoying problem with my E4200. V1 with the latest 04 fw. It seems, that after many hours of downloading at full speed (only one torrent at a time) the speed goes down, and up again, and becoming unstable. My max download speed is 1.5 Mb/s, and it can drop from that, to 50 kb/s, and then up again. and i have no internet access when that happens, but it only last 10-20 seconds and then its back again. Sometimes i get that yellow warning sign on the taskbar which says "No Internet Access" but not always.
Seems like its happening after many hours of downloading at full speed. im on the latest firmware, have tried different channels, 20 Mhz only on Channel Width, different names on the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz channels.. i use the 2.4Ghz channel btw. Otherwise its stable, and i have had no problems while gaming online.
