Drop WRT160N V2 wireless connections

I recently changed the mode of security on my router from WEP to WPA2 Personal. However, since this change I noticed that wireless, 2-computers laptops, are intermittently lose their connections. This is getting really frustrating. I don't know if it has something to do with changing the security mode, but I don't want to go back to WEP for obvious reasons.

Anyone?

I changed the channel on the router from 6 to 11, not sure on the freq' is the cordless phone use. Can't seem to find this info in the manual.

  • Vista SP2 wireless connection drops

    People, I know this question has been asked before, but I can't find a solution to my problem.  I've had my Dell laptop for about 6 months now and it worked perfectly, without any problem wireless connection.  On Sunday, August 9, I installed Vista SP2.  It updated no problem at all, but once he did his final reboot, it connected to my wireless router for about 5 minutes, then dropped connection.  Now, when you restart it only connects for a minute or two wireless then abandons connection.  I then uninstalled SP2 but it has not solved the problem with wireless.  My wireless adapter is an Atheros AR5007 and drivers are all up to date.

    Anyone know how I can fix this so that my wireless signal stay tuned as he used to pre SP2?
    Thank you.

    Disable the DHCP Broadcast Flag:

    Link: http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx/KB/928233

    Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/322756/ (how to back up and restore the registry in Windows)

    Windows Vista cannot obtain an IP address from certain routers or some non-Microsoft DHCP servers

    To resolve this issue, disable the DHCP BROADCAST flag in Windows Vista. To do this, follow these steps:

    Click Start, type regedit in the search box, and then click regedit in the list programs.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

    Locate and then click the following registry subkey:

    Right-click DhcpConnEnableBcastFlagToggle, then click on modify.

    In the value data box, type 1 and then click OK.

    Close the registry editor.

    By setting this registry key to 1, Windows Vista's trying to get an IP address using the BROADCAST flag in DHCP Discover packets. If that fails, he will try to obtain an IP address without using the BROADCAST flag in DHCP Discover packets.

    Please let us know if it helps.

  • 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.

  • Re: Satellite Pro A300-1EA - wireless connection, drop all the time

    Hi, I have a problem with my wireless connection fall all the time on my Satellite Pro A300 1EA.

    It happened earlier, but I've fiddled about a little with change of drivers and the removal of the connection settings for the registry and it then worked fine for months, until yesterday.

    There were several updates for Windows installed yesterday, but none of them have been updated driver for the wireless card, and they don't look like they should cause problems. The fact that the problem happened before makes me think that the updates can be anything to do with it.

    I use the * Intel PRO/Wireless 3945/4965/5100/5300 * for Vista 32 - bit version 12.2.0.11.3 drivers from the Toshiba download page.

    Other computers on the same access point have no problem, so I think it is specific to this laptop. The connection speed is normally 6 Mbps, but I cannot even check e-mail now without the abandonment of the connection.

    Laptop will be thrown against a wall soon if no one can help you.

    Thanks in advance.

    Edit: I've already made sure power settings are at maximum to the WLAN card, even if on battery, or what power management.

    Hello

    Have you tried to use the Windows System Restore feature? After that your WLAN should work fine again.

    In addition, I can recommend the latest WLAN driver in the Intel page, it s version 12.4.xxxx. I installed the driver on my Qosmio laptop and don t have any problems with it: [www.intel.com].

    If you have any other questions, please let us know!

  • Wireless connection dropping on the Satellite C660-195

    Hello

    I recently bought a new Toshiba Satellite C660-195.
    However, I have problems with the wireless connection. When I bought the laptop, it was full of all the annoying and resource hungry programs Toshiba install there. I have reinstalled Windows on the laptop, just install the drivers and software, I wanted and needed. I have problems with the wireless to stay connected. I can detect wireless networks and connect to that I want to be on, I have to add is a connection at home (I'm not fly: P).

    However, the continuous wireless connection down, becoming 'limited' as it says in system tray icon but then turns back on and the process just keeps spiraling on, on and off.

    The wireless I connect works quite well using Xbox consoles, at first I thought it might be the router but after that a second thought if found the wireless on the Xbox is fine then I surely can't be the case? The laptop is Windows 7 64 bit

  • Wireless connection drops after 10-20 seconds on Acer Aspire V3-572 - 56T 3 running Windows 8.1

    I have big problems with the network connection Wireless at the office. He sees the network, allows me to enter security credentials, then connects (with connectivity internet confirmed) but gave up after 10-20 seconds. I tried the wireless network to a friend who worked ok without interruption, is certainly nothing wrong with the hardware. I use a brand new Acer Aspire V3 - 572 - T 56, 3 on Windows 8.1, with all the latest drivers/patches loaded and tried to juggle with many advanced settings for the card of network without success. I connected the router to make sure that all the settings, encryption standards, channels etc was corresponding, but the problem is persistent. It has been going on for two days now and is driving me crazy because I really need to work in the office with wifi band. Plug an ethernet cable directly into the router works fine, but it is not the ideal solution (and poses a danger OH & S that he throws on the ground). Can someone help pleeeease!

  • WRT610N frequently drops wireless connections

    Hello

    I have a WRT610N V1, which seems to have problems with wireless. He often falls all the wireless connection - not leases for IP addresses. One then we can not reconnect for a period of time, even after the reboot of the router and the modem. I just updated the firmware and do a full reset, but that no longer works. Any ideas?

    Hello. Thanks for writing. I had not tried to change the channel until yesterday. I took a live chat with Linksys tech support people. Here's what they said to do:

    For the 5 GHz band, set the width of the channel at 20 MHz only. Set the Standard channel to 36 - 5.180 GHz.
    For the 2.4 GHz band, set the width of the channel at 20 MHz only. Set the Standard 11 - 2, 462 GHz string.

    A. tab Configuration, basic settings, lower the MTU tab:
    1. set the MTU on "manual".
    2 entry 1400 as MTU size.
    3. save the settings.

    B. after that, power cycle (follow the steps below) all of your devices so that the new setting will take effect and the wireless signal are synchronized.
    1 turn off your PC/Laptop, the router and the modem (just unplug the power cord to the back of the router and the modem) for a minute.
    2. after one minute, turn on the modem first, then the router and then your portable PC.
    Note: Make sure that the lights on the modem are stable before you turn on the router.

    This seems to have worked for me.

  • Very limited wireless connection

    I have a HP Pavilion dv7 - 3153ca with a 64-bit windows system 7 and I'm only able to get a wireless connection when the laptop is very close to the modem. Once the laptop is moved, for example, to another floor of the House, the connection is lost and cannot be re established until I have the back next to the modem. He has no problem with the wired connection. This has happened while he was trying to pass my McAfee security provider, although I don't think this is the problem that my other laptop (a Dell) converted without this problem. The other laptop continues to maintain its connection Wireless throughout the House, so the router and the modem is not the issue. I downloaded and re-installed the adapter without modification. I have scanned the laptop and nothing is reported in the mess. Are there any ideas as to why the wireless connection works only when the laptop remains close to the modem? Thank you.

    It seems I may not have been very clear in my previous post.  I wanted to suggest was to reverse the connection of the antenna.  As mentioned in the thread I linked, the connections might have been reversed from what they should be from the factory.  If this is the case, then connect the antennas in a factory setting would not solve the problem.

    Have you tried to reverse the antennas?  If they are in the deformities, then this would fix it.  If they are in the right position, then the worst you would have (only in the deformities) would drop signal strength.

    Hello @adityarai82,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums from the HP Support! The forums are a great place where you can find solutions for your problems, with the help of the community!

    I read your post about the WiFi problem and wanted to help you!  I understand that you have tried the troubleshooting steps a lot already, without success.

    Try to review these steps, offered by community member @Great-Christine-Tree:

    First of all, we have a step by step guide to guide you through the process of diagnosis here:
    Troubleshooting your wireless network and Internet access

    A second option is to try the following steps:
    Powercycle the network:
    1. turn off your laptop.
    2. unplug the power to your router.
    3. disconnect the power to your modem.
    4. wait at least 45 seconds.
    5 reconnect the modem and wait for it to come back online.
    6 plug in the router and wait for it to come back online.
    7. turn on your laptop and test your connection.

    Turn off the power to the adapter:
    1. open Device Manager. (Win Key + R > type devmgmt.msc > OK)
    2. expand the network adapters.
    3. right click on the Ethernet adapter / wireless, and then click Properties.
    4. click on the power management tab.
    5 remove the check mark next to allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
    6. click on OK.
    7 test cycle.

    Reset the TCP/IP settings on your PC:
    1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
    2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
    3. in the window that opens type "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" without the quotes and press ENTER.
    4 restart your PC and test.

    It can also help to reset the winsock catalog:
    1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
    2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
    3. in the window that opens type "netsh winsock reset" without the quotes, and then press ENTER.
    4 restart your PC and test.

    Reinstall the NIC drivers:
    1. download the drivers from here , but do not run them again.
    2. go to your Start menu/screen and type Device Manager.
    3. expand network adapters.
    4. right click on the wireless adapter and choose uninstall.
    5 install the drivers downloaded in step 1.
    6. restart your PC and test.

    Test an ethernet connection:
    Explicit. Test if the problem persists on a wired connection to the adapter hardware troubleshooting wireless can be directed to the appropriate areas.

    Test another connection:
    Many people excluded their home network as a problem if another device working on the same network. Networking is not as simple as that. Each device interacts differently with your router or modem and it is impossible to exclude the settings for this device until the laptop has been tested on another network.

    If these steps do not resolve the problem, try this document published by Microsoft for network management issues: wired and wireless network problems. You can change the operating system with the drop-down list in the upper right of the document.

  • U940 PSU6VA satellite - wireless connectivity problems

    _ * My specifications: * _
    * Model: * Toshiba Ultrabook (Satellite PSU6VA - 00S 002 U940)
    * Operating system: * Windows 8.1 x 64 (upgrade of Windows 8 x 64)
    * Wireless adapter: * Intel Centrino Wireless - N 2200
    * Wireless adapter driver version: * 15.10.0.12 (which is the last for my device)

    I got this Ultrabook since February 2013, and throughout this period, I always had problems with wireless connectivity, even after a factory reset. My wireless icon varies between three States:
    * Internet access
    * Limited (in which case I can't connect to the internet or any other device on the network)
    * Not connected - connections are available (and if I try to connect to the network, it will fail)

    Sometimes my computer would instantly reach the State of "Internet access" at startup and remain in this State. Other times, it would be 'limited' for several minutes after the start of my computer before it finally connected, and even in this case, the connection will drop out every now and then. In the worst case, it would indefinitely remain "Limited" or "not connected", regardless of how many times I reset my adapter wireless or rebooted my computer.

    Until very recently, I always thought that these problems have occurred randomly. However, I noticed recently that I have always a connection perfect, whenever there is no other computers connected wirelessly to my router, and I always have problems more or less when there is at least another computer (or even a smart phone) connected wireless to the router. If there is another computer connected to the router via an Ethernet cable, this causes no problems. It's only wireless connections that interfere with my computer.

    It is only this computer that has these problems; the other computers in my house ever experience these issues, no matter how many computers is online. In addition, my computer is not only these problems with my home router; It has the same problems on the network wireless at my University.

    My question is, how do I fix? Is this a known bug or is my defective wireless adapter? I know that I can connect using an Ethernet cable if possible (I have never problems with Ethernet connections), but this is not always possible at the University.

    Did you remove the old driver Win 8 Intel of the system before you upgrade to version 8.1 to win?
    The old Wlan Intel driver could affect the performance of a Wi - Fi connection.

    The driver update page Win 8.1 says clearly that Intel Wlan driver must be uninstalled and the
    Inbox Windows 8.1 version must be used.

    I'm sure this has been covered, but after more than an hour on the forum trying to navigate to find I dropped...!

    You use the software method to configure the wireless connection? Or do you use the Microsoft Automatic Wireless Configuration service?

    You see the connection Wireless in the list?

    Can you connect to the connection, but Internet is not working?
