WRT160N V3 / Computer No Longer Connecting Wirelessly To Router After Tomato Clean Install

Jul 13, 2013

I just installed Tomato firmware (details below) on my wireless-N router and everything appears to be working fine on the router's end. I can connect to the Internet properly with a wired (Ethernet) connection; in fact, that's how I posted this question.

What I cannot do is connect to the router wirelessly in any way. At first, I thought that something was wrong with my wireless security settings, because I read about some incompatibilities between Windows 7 and AES encryption. However, when I changed to TKIP, the issue persisted; when I switched from WPA2 Personal to WEP, the issue persisted; and when I disabled wireless security entirely — just for testing purposes — the issue still persisted.

My Internet search for this issue brought up a lot of old forum and mailing list posts, most of which were useless. The only one that seemed promising suggested disabling Afterburner, but that came disabled by default on my install. I did try enabling it and then disabling it, but it had no apparent effect.

In case it's relevant: before I installed Tomato, I had a somewhat funky install of dd-wrt on the router. The first thing I did after installing Tomato was a full clean of the nvram through the web GUI's Administration → Configuration → Restore Default Configuration menu.

What do I have to do to get wireless running? I only have one computer available at the moment, but I'll try to update later if and when I can borrow more devices for testing.

Assorted specs:

Linksys WRT160N v3
Tomato Firmware v1.28.9054 MIPSR2-beta K26 Mini
Linux kernel 2.6.22.19 and Broadcom Wireless Driver 5.10.147.0 updates

EDIT:This is a computer issue, not a router issue. Two smartphones with wi-fi connections and another computer are all able to connect to the wireless network with no problems. However, the original computer was able to connect to the same router just fine before Tomato was installed. It has an internal wireless-B/G card, and I had Tomato set up to broadcast G-only, so it should have been compatible.

EDIT 2:The computer in question was the only device in the house that wasn't set up for wireless-N, so I went out and bought a Wireless-N USB adapter and changed Tomato to be N-only. Using the new adapter, I get connection again. I suppose it's possible that the computer's OEM internal wireless card failed at exactly the same time that I installed Tomato on the router, but that would be one heck of a coincidence. I'll see if I can connect to some other G or B network next time I'm around one....

Dell :: WiFi Connection Since Clean Install 6400 With XP SP3

Sep 8, 2008

I have an Inspiron 6400 XP SP3 Intel PROset/wireless Wi Fi
Belkin Wireless G Router (supplied by Dell with the laptop)
 
I had to do a clean install of the laptop. Until then good connection no problems BUT since the clean install I am experinecing intermitant problems Wifi connecting to the router. The wireless finds the router without fail but won't always connect. When is doesn't, a reboot makes no difference but power cycling the router always works. After hours of strong connectivity the connection drops out unpredicatbly.
 
I have tried updateing the driver for the wifi NIC and the Proset software direct from intel which seems to make no difference.

Compaq Tc1100 Tablet No Longer Connects Wirelessly

Jan 11, 2012

My Compaq tc1100 tablet worked perfectly, wirelessly, with our Billion BiPAC 7300NX/N ADSL2+ router, but then it just stopped doing this for no reason that I can think of. In our house is a desktop in each of the 3 bedrooms (one being mine, together with the tablet) that connect perfectly wirelessly to this same router. When I refresh the network list, then one moment it will show my network, and then seconds later when I refresh again, it will give "no networks were found in range".Switching off the router's WLAN security made no difference. Formatting and reloading XP, and installing the tablet's Wireless LAN drivers, made no difference. Moving the tablet around the house made no difference. Now, today I took my tablet with me to spend the day with my wife at her workplace, where there is a Billion wireless router as well (other model). I did not bother to first try to connect with my tablet's wireless card, but instead lent a spare D-Link DWA-125 wireless USB adapter, and connected perfectly. Later in the afternoon, out of curiosity, I started up Xirrus Wi-Fi Inspector, and took a snapshot of it, which is attached here. The whole time I was connected like this, there were, in the bottom right-hand corner, two of those wireless network connection icons, one with a red cross through it.

when removing the D-Link USB adapter --- it was time to come home --- the icon with the red cross disappeared once it was pulled out; I opened IE to see what's happening, and my home page opened successfully. So, was I surfing quite fine with my tablet's own card all day?! I then shut down, switched back on (still with the D-Link removed), opened IE, and my home page appeared again successfully. I did not do any other surfing, I must admit, but just shut down again and came home, where I'm back to square-one with a continual "red-crossed icon".........Using Xirrus here on the home network, and with its "locate adapter" pinger noise thingy enabled, it will alternate between pinging for a while and then keeping quiet --- I can supply the Xirrus 500 sec history snapshot of this, if needed.Yesterday, doing a hard reset of the router *momentarily* gave me "aquiring network address", and then connection, but this soon went away again.The tablet did not have this problem with our previous Netgear router. Nothing's changed in the house: the router and my tablet have always stood where they are. There's no new cordless phones, neither. The one that we have, has always stood centimeters away from the router.

Tablet's ipconfig /all:

D-Link DIR-825 :: Router No Longer Connecting To Internet

Dec 21, 2011

Background: This weekend, I lost my internet connection at home. I called my ISP and they sent someone over. The guy rewired the entire house (our ISP is also our tv cable provider), because he felt that our signal was probably weak due to the wiring. Long story short, after two hours of rewiring and fixing the cable outside out house (chewed through by a squirrel), he said the modem's signal was back to normal and left.

When I plugged the router; however, it refused to hold the internet connection for more than a few seconds. On the front panel, the planet-shaped light turned orange, then blue (for a few seconds) and then turned off entirely. I tried another few times and got the same result. At best, it stayed connected for a minute, until I rebooted my computer. The laptops in our house do read the presence of the router, so it's safe to assume that the problem lies with the router's capacity to receive the signal.

Can No Longer Connect Wirelessly To Secured Or Unsecured Home Network?

May 21, 2011

we were having problems with our netgear router (DGN1000) mainly with connection when online gaming with PS3, generally poor connection - so purchased a TP-Link router (TD-W8960N). We could usually access the netgear wirelessly on our laptops Dell and Acer Aspire 4820T (both Windows 7) without any problems and were still doing so last night. However hubby attempted to install the new router last night and all seemed to go fine but after installing we couldn't connect to the wireless network through laptops, iphone ps3 etc - even though we could see the network with excellent strength, after hours of trying called TP-Link they went through everything they could think of and still no joy. Gave up in the end and went to reinstall the netgear Router and now we have the same problem with this router, even though earlier in the night it wasn't a problem - we deleted the previous networks so there was nothing stored in memory & tried everything we can think of (although neither of us are brilliant with IT we do usually get by).We even set up an unsecured wireless network (on both routers) and still couldn't connect .

The Xbox can see both my main wireless SSID and my guest SSID but cannot connect to either.

Computer Not Accessing Linksys WRT54G Router After New XP Install?

Apr 4, 2012

I have a Linksys WRT54G to which 2 computers are connected of which one has no problems at all.The other computer just had its hard drive replaced and Windows XP Pro SP1 installed on the new hard drive. With the new operating system, I cannot get the computer to access the router. The connection status reports that the network device is working but IPCONFIG /ALL reports nothing (blank). The NIC is onboard the motherboard (ASUS P5LP-LE). I have swapped out cable ports at the router and tried a different cable to the faulty computer to no avail. If I had a spare NIC I would already have tried that too. FYI, it was working without problems prior to the hard drive crash that prompted the new drive and OS install.I tried a wireless USB network interface (Zonet ZEW2508) and the computer also reports it working. However, the network icon continually cycles between connected and unavailable, about 6 seconds connected and 1 second unavailable. IPCONFIG also reports blank on this.

Unable To Wirelessly Install HP Officejet 6600 On Work Laptop?

Sep 1, 2012

1. Printer:HP Officejet 6600
2. OS: Windows 7
3. Error: Cannot find printer on wireless network *name*
4. What did I do? Just installed the printer software from HP website.

I got the HP Officejet 6600 and successfully connected it to the network at home. I managed to connect the home desktop (Windows 7), a laptop (Windows 7) and a Macbook Pro. These are all the personal ones.However, when I tried to install the the HP Officejet 6600 on the work laptop, the installation wasn't able to find the printer on the home network when doing it wirelessly. I managed to install it the USB cable but that was about it.Also, when trying to install it wirelessly, it found our home network, couldn't find the printer so it prompted me to type in the IP address for the printer, which I did, however, it still wasn't able to find it. The work laptop is connected to the home wireless in the network connections and the American Express server.Is there a way to get around this issue so I can connect the laptop to the printer wirelessly as it would make life a LOT easier.
