My router is a Netgear WNDR3400 running the most recent firmware V1.0.0.16_1.0.34). This is a dual band router. The 5ghz band I have setup in WPA2-psk (AES). The 2.4ghz band I have as unprotected.The two computers I have issues on are both running XP-SP3. The first is a Dell Latitude d600 laptop. The 2nd is a box I put together myself, and uses a Trendnet TEW-423pi (Rev A) wireless card. Both are connecting to the 2.4ghz band.The computers will both connect just fine, but will occasionally drop the WIFI connection for a moment or two, and then reconnect again right away. On both computers, if I look in Event Viewer, i see a System listing under source "tcpip" saying:The system detected that network adapter DEVICETCPIP_{1EEC58ED-1570-4219-B200-8EC4F636910C} was disconnected from the network, and the adapter's network configuration has been released. If the network adapter was not disconnected, this may indicate that it has malfunctioned. Please contact your vendor for updated driversOn the diy-box, I see a slew of events relating to "The Wireless Zero Configuration service" stopping and starting up to 10 times back-and-forth in the same instant as a disconnection.
On the laptop, I do not have that same service listing, but I see a number of updater services (mostly google) doing the same flip-flopping a handful of times within the same second as the tcpip listing.Now, to throw a wrench in the mix, there are a slew of other devices (a printer, a pair of ipod touches, and two windows 7 boxes, plus a number of friends' computers and etc.) that connect regularly and stably on this same network.Both computers have the newest possible drivers.
Recently I have been having problems on my home Wi-Fi connection. Every so often, I drop my connection. It happens many times during the day, and it is really starting to annoy me.On the Wi-Fi connection, are 3 other laptops than mine connected to. About 3 months ago, the problem began for me, only recently have the others also gotten the problem. As we stand now, we are all craving for an explanation.
My atheros ar9285 wireless network card continuously drops my connection, now I've seen other topics about this put there solutions dont work. I hear McAfee can cause problems? It is on a asus k5dij laptop and my wi-fi is provided by bt using a bt home hub 3 type b. Find attached my Xirrus screen shot and my cmd ipconfig when i learn how to get it on to this website.
I'm with Virgin Media and the router they give is rubbish. The wifi connection kept dropping. So, I bridged the router to a Linksys router. The wifi is nice and stable now. However, when connected via eternet to the linksys router, I've noticed that my download speeds are very spiky. I used to get a flat 4MB/s download (I have 30 Meg internet). Now it spikes heavyly and I roughly get 2.5MB/s. I've turned the Virgin Media router (which is a netgear inside) into modem mode and when trying to connect directly to the virgin media router, I won't pick up a connection. I assume I can only connect directly to the Linksys.
My E1000 keeps dropping the wireless part of the router. When I look at the lit up icons on the router the wifi one is not lit. I power cycle and it comes back on and stays on, sometimes for a day or two sometimes for a few hours then the wifi icon is no longer lit up and my devices are disconnected from the wifi network.
For some reason when I'm watching a HD video or I'm downloading a file, on my HP laptop my wifi decides to stop,disconnect and then start up again This never occurs on my iPhone iPad Xbox or any other laptops in the house.
I have 2 computers. One is a Win 7 and the other is Win XP. They both can be connected to any of 3 WiFi connection in my building. I have no trouble with the Win 7 computer, but the Win XP computer keeps dropping the WiFi connection and get different error messages.
I have a B1, FW 2.00NA. Everything works great, but once or twice a day, randomly the wifi signal will just dropout, I cant see it in my networks list, if I connect directly to my router the connection is fine. If I reset the router by cutting power wifi will start working again. Is there an beta firmware for the B1 I can try? Everything on the router is set to pretty much default.
I setup my new TL-WDR4300 and ran into no issues. For the sake of all my wireless users in the house, I set the SSID and password to the same as the previous router. From a wired perspective, I've seen no problems at all.
On my girlfriends laptop, she has an excellent signal and browses the internet for about a minute or two, then randomly she gets disconnected (yellow triangle warning in the tooltray). I've tried rebooting the modem, router, her laptop, and even disabling the dualband (to just 2.4ghz which she is on), but am still getting the problem. Any ideas? It was working perfectly with my old Linksys router this morning.
I have two wifi routers which I have connected together with an ethernet cable to extend coverage across my house. The ethernet cable is connected to a LAN port on the first router and the internet port of the second router. This works fine and creates a second network that I can connect to the net on. The problem iseemingly randomly, about every 15 minutes, the second router will lose internet connection. My laptops and phone still stay connected to it, but windows lists it as having no internet connection. If I then wait a couple of minutes and reconnect, internet will be working again.
For a few weeks now, my router has been dropping WiFi connections, seemingly at random. When trying to watch BBC iPlayer is terrible, as it keeps dropping every 5 minutes.
Tonight my iPod Touch (iOS5) was connecting okay, while my son's iPod Touches (iOS3 and iOS4) would not. My MacBook Pro would not connect either.
The only to get things working again, is to turn the router off for a few minutes and turn it on again.
* WiFi router (Netgear WPN824v2) connected to ADSL modem
* CPU, iPhone and iPad connected to router, CPU wired connection.Everything has worked like a charm up until a couple of days ago. Now the link between the router WAN port and the modem randomly drops. Stays dropped for 1-3 secs and then connect again. When its really bad this happens with 5-10 secs intervall. This made it impossible to use the network from any of the devices.If I disconnect the CPU from the router and connect it direcly to the modem and change the IP settings to match the modem network the CPU connects without errors to the internet, iPad and iPhone connected to the router keeps having problems.Restarting the router does not change anything and it seems to be more frequent errors during heavy load hours, in the morning I have almost no problems at all, in the evenings I cant almost use the wireless devices (CPU works fine as its now connected directly to the modem not through the router).I havent changed a setting in the last year, it just came right out of the blue.I have hard reset both the modem and the router and reconfigured them (that I dont want to do again as I have some virtual servers, port forwards, port triggers and so on :P).As it came right out of the blue without me changing anything on any device and as it seems to be more frequent during heavy load hours I'm suspecting that the ISP is involved, but how can they be (it works fine with devices connected straight to the modem)?
i've recently upgraded from E3200 as i wanted slightly faster and more reliable router, only to find out this one is more troublesome then the older model.
Upgraded to latest firmware:
EA Series Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Firmware
11/19/2012
Ver.1.1.39.145204
i've excellent WIFI reception - setup 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks (diffrent SSID). i've few apple computers on the WIFI, and ipod touch 5th gen with iOS 6.01.Seems that often when i browse web on the ipod, the WIFI drops (takes about 60s to reconnect - almost as if the router is rebooting). But it's not conclusive and unpredictable. It also happens just with the computers when browsing web.
I purchased the linksys 3200 dual band router recently. I am a huge cisco and linksys supporter so for me this is disappointing. Aside from being slower at times than my previous router I am having issues with the 5Ghz wireless. My issue I am facing is it seems multiple times throughout the day the router somehow drops its 5ghz wireless ssid or its gone..not sure. The only way I can get it back up and running is to reconnect with the Cisco Connect software and re-establish the settings and then reconnect any wireless devices. This seems to happen sporadically and is insanely annoying considering this router should be a big upgrade.
It seems to me the 2.4Ghz band seems to be more stable. I am on the latest firmware for the device and I am using a 5ghz compatible wireless device to connect to it.
I am using a brand new Linksys EA3500. We have 2 laptops connecting to it. One is an older XP machine which never has any problem. The other, a Vista machine, periodically drops the connection to the internet when connecting wirelessly. It never loses the connection to the Linksys EA3500 router, it just says "Access: local" and there is no internet. If I plug the Vista machine in wired to the router it works fine. I've tried my old router and I don't get this problem, which leads me to believe that my wireless adapter is functioning properly on the Vista machine.
When the vista machine drops the internet, I can still get into the router configuration at 192.168.1.1, but when I click on the tab which says wireless it sometimes says: "Router not found. You are not connected to your router." It says this despite the fact that I am connected to the router?I've tried reinstalling Windows, that didn't make any difference. I am convinced that it is a problem with the router, but I can't find any settings to adjust which remedy the situation. Of coarse, I've tried reseting my modem and Router many times...doesn't resolve the issue. I've also gone into DOS and done an ipconfig release_all and renew_all.
Set channel manually - i've tried all the channels no luck

I'm running firmware 1.0.04 build 6 <script type="text/javascript"></script> Dec 6, 2010?I've had the router for 4 months now and this has been happening for the last 3.
I recently bought an E4200 and noticed that the wireless speed keeps dropping as it stays connected.As soon as I power it on, my iPhone and notebook connect at 54Mb, but as they remain connected, the speed keeps dropping to 48, 36 and one morning, my phone was oscillating between 5 and 11. The iPhone was almost at the same spot, and the signal was around 85~95%. On my 3 year old DIR-300, the speed don't change at all, and it's in a place where I can see around 15 connections. On the E4200 I can only see 2 other networks.I've already tried switching channels, fixed and auto channel, updating firmware and a few other common configurations. At first, I thought it was my repeater, but I turned it off and it didn't work. Turn my cordless phone off didn't change it also.
I've got a router in room where my cable modem comes in. In center of house, I have another router, N Ultra Range PLUS, WRT160N.
My laptop, which I use in front room near that middle room router and my husband's desktop, also near that middle room have no problems. My desktop which is right next to the main router in back of house (where the cable modem is), has the weakest signal. I guess that's because the WRT160N is further away from it and has two walls to go through. But most of time signal was good - just not as good as the other two computers. And even when signal was Low, it never dropped connection.
Recently I got a new smart phone with WIFI. Anytime I have turned on the phone and used it, I often then have to refresh my wireless signal or reboot computer because it loses the connection. I read somewhere on internet that this may be because of the additional device but again, it doesn't effect the other two closer computers.
I have Comcast cable internet routed through a linksys E3000 router. My desktop is connected to my router via ethernet and my various other devices including my laptop are wifi connected. It seems almost at random that my desktop will lose its connection.Windows will show me as still being connected and my network connection will show a normal status until I atttempt to repair it then it will change to limited or no connectivity. Through all of this, my other devices all still have a wifi signal (I don't use more than 1 or 2 at the same time). I can reconnect to the internet by unplugging my ethernet cable then reuplugging it back in and my connection will start working again. I've also had several blue screens, and when I checked the dmp files it revealed my network card driver as the culprit, yet I have reinstalled and even clean installed the microsoft signed driver. I have also attempted to reboot both my modem and router to no avail.

I recently bought a netgear n300 wnr2200 router. The first day I set up the network and everything worked fine ( my ISP don't require any passwords etc, standard automatic set up - basically just typing a SSID and a password ( WEP)). The Internet worked perfectly and my iPhone, iPad, ps3 all connects without any problems whatsoever! without any more management than typing password. My laptop, acer aspire 3820tg (windows 7) worked perfectly the initial day. After this it struggles to connect. I will sometimes get the "could not connect to ...." message. Sometimes using the troubleshoot it wil fix the problem by itself. Most times not,
What is weird is that even if I get a connection I will at random intervals get " local access only" or completely dropping the connection. ( then it usually will not connect again) He wifi signal is 100%. I'm not able to make it work in a stable fashion. I have tried updating to the latest network driver for my laptops broadcom wifi adapter (from acer driver site) but this changed nothing. Turning on/off the wifi adapter does not work. Rebooting sometimes works but it's completely random. Sometimes going to network properties and enabling active settings for WLAN will let it connect (sorry if this is not the correct wording, my windows is in Norwegian) (it's the lowest box that you can check, and when this is done you can press "configure" . When pressing it just says cisco something is enabled and showing an "okay box " )
When connecting to the router, it says it has the latest firmware.
Example today: I boot pc, get an error message saying it cannot connect. I try letting windows solve it- doesn't work. I try reboot - doesn't work. I try activate WLAN settings - doesn't work. I reboot the pc - doesn't work. Third reboot (only difference is that pc is placed in a different table in my living room) and I magically get a connection. With active WLAN setting being enabled prior to boot!
I moved my pc 5 meters to another table, wifi signal is 100% but it starts dropping to only local connection !?!? I move back, and it's working again.. Funny thing is that the router is only 7 meters from the table where it's not working ( this could be a coincidence) and i can use the wifi in rooms much further away with devices that shouldn't have better WLAN adaptors(such as iPhone). I have never had any trouble with Internet connections on wifi with this laptop prior to this!
So my sister moved the router to a room which we did not realize had a broken phone jack. we moved it back to the place it has always been. However,the desktop in my room has been dropping connection while the other laptops are working fine.The first problem was being unable to load any pages at all.If I left it there, it would stay connected.Open up firefox and try to surf, my wireless network will disconnect.I unplugged and replugged the router to see if it fixed it.I can now surf a bit but my ms is always around 300-500 ms.Seeing as how replugging the router worked,I tried again.I can connect to some pages with a ping of 10-25 ms. However, any game installed on the desktop when running will either disconnect me or cause extreme lag.This has only started to happen after the router was moved.
i recently purchased a D-link n300 DIR-632 (wireless router), i ran the setup wizard and it seems to work. HOWEVER. for some random reason the data transfer will cut out for around 30 seconds or so and all activity is halted. I have looked in the routers Settings however i am not comfortable with messing around with to many settings incase i completely screw up the network. Is there a setting that i have to change so that my network will run more fluently. It is a 300mbs data transfer and there is a maximum of 3 devices running from the network at any one time. I am trying to play online games and the network will lag and freeze the game causing it to crash and have to be restarted. ALSO i would like to note that this router is LAN enabled too. The main computer running on this network is connected by a LAN cable and is still having the same data issues as the wireless devices....
I've read all of the other guides about how to stop your internet from randomly dropping out but none of them seems to give me a specific answer. My internet is wireless through a Wireless USB adapter and i have broadband. It is not the USB adapter nor is it the internet connection as this is the only desktop in the entire house that has a problem with remaining constantly connected to the internet. It will stay connected for around 30 minutes before just dropping off for a minute. This infurates me as i have to keep on relogging onto games which require constant connection
My lan conenction keeps dropping on my desktop, we have two other Pc's attached to the same router (bt business hub) and they are always working, however my Pc runing win7 64 bit says its connected to the router and assigns an ip but its not connected to the internet? ( until i do a restart)
Ive fixed the IP and DNS- still dropped reinstalled drivers for NIC- still dropped Restored machine back to a few months- still dropped, checked the cabling and changed- still dropped
I could understand this if it wasnt finding the router or IP and if the other PCs showed the same symptoms, however thats not the case and its reallt confusing.
I have a TG782T Thompson Gateway, and a few months back we had a lightning storm where it hit the ground fairly close. Ever since that storm, on a regular basis our DSL connection on the router keeps dropping out. Also the phone that we had at the time was shorted out and we had to buy a new one.
My laptop acer wireless keeps dropping out, I have other laptops and computer connected wireless and they never dropp out , i put the ethernet cable in and works fine, Is there a way to see if the wireless connection on the laptop is faulty and needs replacing , I run windows 7
ok so the problem is our old modem/router combo finally died after 6 years of doing good. After that we bought a new router and used an old modem, that seemed to work for about 2 weeks problem free. But after that the internet would just drop when someone would play a online game, stream a big video, or after a random amount of time would drop on its own. The connection icon would loose its globe and have two screens with each screen flashing say identifying. after that we got a new modem and still have the same problem. We have two laptops connected to it and they can connect to the router but not the internet as-well.
I have noticed a few times over the last month that my PC would not load pages due to connection problems. If I hover over the Network icon, it say that I am not joined to a network but within minutes, it reconnects itself. I use http://www.scan.co.uk/products/zyxel-pla-4201-500mbps-mini-powerline-adaptor-twin-pack power adapters and they "appear" to work well with good speeds as I download and game online alot. I have noticed that today the problem is really bad. It loses its connection every 5 or 10 minutes and then reconnects itself as if nothing has happened. I tried using my iphone on the wireless and it also seemed to have dropped out on connection. I have tried resetting my router too but with no joy
I have a NetGear N600 Wireless Dual Band Router model WNDR3400 purchased 4/26/11.
I keep restarting it and it's ok for a little bit but intermittently keeps dropping and coming back. I am in San Diego on using Cox Cable as a service provider, I guess it could also be the modem??
how to troubleshoot to determine if it's the modem or the router?
For the last couple of months we've been having problems keeping a connection to the internet. The green light turns red and everything loses connection while it cycles back on. I've tried everything I can think of and am at a total loss as to how to fix this.
The ISP has been out twice to check and replace all the lines and install a cat 5 line to no avail. I thought it might be an ip conflict dropping the connection so I assigned everything its own address and that didn't solve anything. I have a brand new netgear n300 router/modem that replaced the Actiontec one the ISP provided because I thought that might be failing, no change. The next thing I tried is to turn off and disconnect everything from the network except my laptop to see if it was a certain device causing the problems. It seemed to be going well for about an hour when I lost connection again. The next thing I tried is to hook it directly to the router and turn off the wireless to see if that worked any better, connection still dropped. When the guy was over here replacing the lines, he mentioned that he had just come from another house on our block having similar problems so now I'm thinking maybe they have to fix the lines on the poles. It seems to me that the most likely thing is that the connection is dropping from the ISP to the router, what I could try before I called them up to tell them the problem is definitely not on my end.
