Disorder WRT160N - wireless

So, I've had this router for about 8-9 months and while I had problems about various other problems that were eventually resolved, this one by far left me puzzled.

The router works fine when you're connected via a cable, but wireless SSID isn't still appears. The problem started while I was out for about an hour and a half - before I leave the wireless has worked, but when I came back I started having 0 connection to the internet. I checked to make sure that none of my modified settings, and everything is fine. Tried to restart the router, and there is still the question. The weird part is that the blue led light symbolizing wireless to the router itself is turned on, and as I said before the internet works fine when connected by a cable. I really hope that this is not a hardware failure, I am tired of having to buy a new router each year due to hardware problems.

After some fiddling, I changed my channel wireless from 6 to 11, and that solved the problem.

  • WRT160N: Wireless works great, Wired is slow

    I replaced my old router from Linksys 8 port with a WRT160N wireless so that my iPhone would have Wi - Fi in the House.  (AT & T network is not great where I live.)

    My iPhone yells now, great connectivity.  But my two desktop computers that are connected directly to the router are creepy.  Pages take forever to load, and often don't load graphics.

    A friend suggested I hang the wireless on the old router and run at the same time, but I want to get the wireless works fine on its own.

    Any suggestions on what I can change to get the router speeds up the performance of the computer cable?

    Here is the solution.  I did the downgrade of firmware and everything is working fine.

  • Cannot connect by Satellite A305 Linksys WRT160N wireless

    I have a Satellite A305-S6839 with Windows Vista Edition Home Premium that I tried to connect wireless to a Linksys Wireless - N WRT160N router but I am unable to get the service.
    I can configure the router and it transmits properly, but for some reason that I can't connect to it. I tried to reboot several times that the manufacturer suggested unplugging the cables, but that did not work. I suspect that there are drivers I need to download for this operation.

    Someone give some advice?

    First, visit the Toshiba support site we and install the latest BIOS and Wifi Driver.

    Second, try to change the Wifi settings-Wifi card-> properties > Device Manager. Increase power output, select "802. 11 g-only", turn off energy-saving.

  • I can run router WRT160N wireless switch wireless E900

    Recently the range of my Ipad has declined. So I bought an E900 to suplement my WRT160N (2 areas served by two different wireless).

    My question is can I connect my modem cable in the E900 and have both the wireless on this work and feed the WRT160N via a wired connection so that the WRT160N can also act as a wireless router?

    If so what needs to be done as I tried to connect them without the Linksys E-series installation CD and it did not work (surprise ;-()

  • Connect WRT160N wireless to the BEFSR41 wired

    Hello-

    I use the router BEFSR41 which is connected to my comcast modem and all PC, printer, computers cell phones work perfectly when you use additional ports.

    I want to know if its possible to add a wireless router, WRT160N, across to the top, so I can move and then another room with the laptop.

    I play internet games on my desk and do not want to move to the wireless, but use the laptop to other purposes of internet and sometimes need to use it in another room.

    I have read the posts here and it seems possible, I want to just make sure I get the correct connections. I have also read the messages that State no, do not.

    Are there easy instructions?

    Thanks for any help,

    CAT

    I think that from the beginning that my problem was trying to connect wireless to my desktop PC... and after an hour or so trying to reconfigure the son discovered is not wireless because at the end of the year I had to buy a new network card and wasn't capable wireless.

    I thought that since my office was the main link everything had to go through to the 'House' to work wireless connection.

    So the first time that I have not found a link on the desktop, we wire the PLACE directly to the computer laptop and charge the WRT software on the laptop. The problem, he had us were always wired to the router BE and this is the page of the Linksys who returned to the top. We try to change the LAN IP address and turned off DHCP, but of course when I am connected to the internet on the desktop, it was not to find the router.

    Of course during all this time, I was looking at this site and then went on the Comcast site, it just clicked and after several configurations more lead changes and trying to think about what I wanted to accomplish exactly, and how it "should" work... just went ahead as it was already set up and connected wireless to the BE and he was there.

    I also remember that when you reset the modem and the router... it takes 'time '. As at least 5 min, what seemed like 15 minutes at the same time, I tried all of this. My frustration level has not helped knowing that it "can" be done if I just follow the signs.

    So overall, my error when trying to set up my office as the main connection for the wireless and don't listen to not when my granddaughter told me that she 'had' upcoming wireless on the laptop.

    Thanks for your help and great advice. We have the wireless connected and followed your instructions on securing the router with the network name, encryption WPA2 and AES... and hope never to lose the piece of paper its written on.

  • Will be wireless G range expander router work with WRT160N wireless

    I have a WRT160N wirelesss router set up in my house.  I recently moved the router into the garage for a cable internet and VoIP phone installation.  Now my wireless printer in my basement that allows to print properly is to get an unacceptable signal. Probably due to a density of wall in concrete or something that does not ask before.  I want to install an Expander store but I have WPA2 security enabled on all my wireless devices.  The amplifier Wireless G does not mention if it can use the WPA2 security.  Only WEP.

    I have to downgrade my router security to WEP to use the Extender to put away or will it be compatible with my current security?  Information about the product and FAQ does not cover this subject.

    Thanks for any help.

    You can use WRE54G with router WRt160N... However, WRE54G Range Expander don't support WEP and WPA WPA2.

  • Xbox 360 slim connect to the interface on WRT160N wireless - g

    Hello:

    I bought a new Xbox 360 Slim a month ago. Before that, in anticipation of the console to my new wireless capabilities I advanced and changed my old WRT54G (1.1) for a wireless-N router WRT160N allowed.

    When I plugged the console for the first time it was a nightmare to configure wireless settings... It wouldn't connect, in every possible way... And when I finally made a connection that he deleted just after 1 hour (I think it had something to do with the renewal of WPA key, if you must ask) I've updated the firmware and all was good again. BUT! It only connects to wireless-G... I have the router located on 'Mix', so she accepts my notebooks 802.11 G and my 360 Wireless N, but just, it detects the router mode G and connects like that...

    I tried EVERYTHING, but nothing works.

    It connects fine, I even get open NAT on the console and play online with no apparent problems, but I need Wireless N, because the router and 360 are too separate, and the signal is becoming weak. Also I usually stream 1080 p content so I need more bandwidth.

    I tried setting that "only wireless n" router, but then the console just does not connect, says he "can't connect to the wireless hardware.

    I could not test any hardware wireless-N, so I don't really know if it's the fault of the router, the console or is that just, they are not compatible...

    Any tips?

    Can't... My only two options are 'automatic' or 'only 20 Mhz'... :/ I can only change the channel on 20 Mhz. But thanks for the tip.

    EDIT:

    OMG, I can't believe it... It is NOT a malfunction N wireless network... This has to do with security... I had my personal WPA authentication method... According to joint works like a charm and everything connects, but the Xbox connect just the wireless G. Under Wireless-N only, it just does not connect. But I tried to disable security, and he comes to connect n wireless!

    Now, I switched to WPA2 Personal... it connects perfectly on Wireless N even if I set the 'Mixed' router and broadband radio and the way to the car.

    My problem is solved, however, I got to know is always:

    Why he doesn't connect WPA enabled?

  • Linksys Router WRT160N - Wireless does not connect to the cable modem

    I installed the Linksys WRT160n router to replace an existing G router. When installed the new wireless router works, but the router does not receive a connection (IP address - look under status) of the cable modem (so no internet). When I reconnect the old router and then connect the new router, I get any internet connection through two routers (so the old dishes router the IP address that accepts the new router).

    I have configured the router N new for

    "Automatic configuration - DHCP", no need for connection, IP address dynamic, etc (as required by ISP - Timewarner)

    I tried to renewal and release IP address by the router N when it is connected directly to the main switch (the switch to connect to the cable modem). In so doing, shouldn't that assign a new IP address to the router?

    I am allowed 3 IPs from the cable company (because of the switch) and I use all three with three different internet IP cameras to each address for home security system.

    Any suggestions on why the router is not connecting to the internet? Do I need to reboot physically everything on the network, including the cable modem?

    If I understand your post, you said that your ISP gives you 3 Internet IP addresses and you have 3 cameras that use one of these Internet IP addresses.  If this is correct, then that leaves no IP Internet address for your WRT160N use - so that would explain why your WRT160N cannot get an Internet connection.

    If I misread your post, and you have an Internet IP address available for the WRT160N, you might have a problem with your modem and two WRT160N tries to use the same 192.168.1.x subnet.  To check this, follow these steps:

    (1) Please indicate addresses that use your cameras (IE before you take the test below).  If the addresses do not begin with 192.168, then erase the last half of each address.

    (2) Please indicate your ISP

    (3) Please indicate the make and exact model of your modem (not the WRT160N) number.

    (4) Please do the following test:

    Put your entire network.  Disconnect the switch (including cameras) to the modem.  Using an ethernet cable, connect your modem directly to your computer.  (Do not use the WRT160N for this test).  Turn on the modem and the computer.  Make sure you have an active Internet connection, then go ahead with what follows: (even if your Internet connection does not work, include this and move forward.)

    Go to 'Start' > all programs > Accessories > command prompt.
    A black DOS window will appear. Type "ipconfig/all" (with no quotes), and press the Enter key.   Copy all results in your next post.  To make the copy, highlight the results, and then use the keys copy (Ctrl-c) and paste (Ctrl-v) keys.  If your "IP address" does not begin with 192.168, then for security reasons, delete the latter half of your IP address.

  • WRT160N Wireless connectivity limited or not

    Hello. I have a WRT160N router set up on a XP computer with DSL service. Have a Realtek to connect to the network local and Marvell Yukon for the wireless, which presents itself as the connection to the local network 5 in network connections. The Realtek works well but the Marvell Yukon shows "limited or no connectivity" and cannot renew the IP address. Tried to manually key in one IP address, but it runs very slowly (584 sent, received 4) and Network Magic also does not detect connections wireless at all.

    Y does it have wireless connection can get a speed much better with the IP address or are there other parameters that need to be adjusted for this? Is it possible to have two connections working or should be just one or the other?

    Hello. Yes, the OS is Win XP Pro. For some reason, the wireless network connection properties has a second tab for wireless network. The second tab there arises as advanced.

    What finally solved it for me has been assigned an ip address that has worked. Both cards work fine at the same time without any conflict so far. Only using one of them at this point, but it is good to know that the other is works when necessary.

    Thanks for your help, if. Really appreciate it.

  • Problem with list of customers after 1.02.11 WRT160N wireless firmware update

    I have just updated the firmware on my WRT160N to 1.02.11

    When I go to wireless-> Wireless MAC Filter, click list of wireless clients, I get a blank screen for the most part, and then my Internet access to the router no longer works. for example, I can no longer connect to the router via a browser.

    The router continues to work for cable customers and wireless, but the router web access does not work.

    I need to display the wireless clients because I'm having intermittent problems with my new Ipad to connect.

    Someone saw what is wrong?

    You have already updated the firmware of the router.

    After upgrading the firmware on the router, it is recommended to reset and reconfigure the router.

    Connect computer with the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the router.

    Hold down the button for 30 seconds rest.

    Release the reset button wait 30 seconds.

    Cycle power to the router.

    Open the page of the router and configure your router settings manually.

  • C4380 disorder MAC wireless printing

    Photosmart C3480

    My MacAir is not able to print to my printer C3480. This is a new issue. I've been printing wireless since January for this computer. OS 10.9

    Message I'm seeing is "the printer is not connected" and in Quebec under the doc name "printing - printer search [or] could not find the printer.

    I downloaded a driver patch that came out this year and restarted the computer.

    Only variable I can think is that AT & T installed a new wireless modem in the House today.

    Would sincerely appreciate your help!

    Reinstalling the software allowed me to the printer via the USB port. But wireless.

  • WRT160N wireless connection instability.

    It's long, so I'll try to keep it short.

    Research, I see there is a problem with the current firmware of hardware v2, but that doesn't apply here.  I am hardware with Firmware 1.02.2 v1.  I see also several other posts with connection problems to the outside world, and troubleshooting that surrounds the cable modem and the DHCP settings.  I don't think that's the case here.

    I inherited the router of parents who felt it was slow and bought a newer linksys N router.  I put that to them, Wednesday night, and it runs perfectly.  I brought the 160N House and hooked up to my network.  Since she still had their place connection settings, my laptop connected immediately with the saved settings.

    Since it by plugging, the performance is terrible.  The traffic seems to move in short bursts but can not stand.  See the below screen Cap.

    When copying on LAN network: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2638/4138717058_449c7ac092_o.png

    The scale is actually 0-5% in this one, so I'll sometimes get decent speed, but not gusting more than 1 second.  The machine on the other side is physically connected to the router by ethernet.  The connection for computers physically connected is great.

    Does anyone have an idea?

  • WRT160N wireless computer

    Just set up my router.  My computer okay.  went to establish a wireless connection, following the directions that I printed.  Open the laptop, Dell Inspiron - was easily connected to the old DSN router.  Found the router and entered the security password two times following the instructions.  Then it tries to connect.  But he never does.  Finally times out.  Watched encriptación, seems very well on both sides.

    Look at the forums, but has not found the next step when the accepted answer fails.
