Fall WAG160N WiFi... help please!
Hi all
I wonder if anyone can help me? I have used Linksys products for years without flaw until a few months ago when my router linksys faithful (wag54G... I think) suddenly developed an incompatible wifi connection. No problem connecting ethenet, but wifi would be nice for a while then die. The wifi network would be visible for a while on my network connections tool, then disappear! Fearing that the router is kaput, I bought a new WAG160N which worked perfectly... for a month. This has now developed the exact same symptom, and I think now the problem could be environmental? The router is well ventilated and it is only used for web browsing, etc.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
I use Mac OS x 10.6.
Carrot Hi, thanks for your response. I study your suggestion, but I had the same problem with iphones, blackberry, a MacBook and a windows pc. I've since updated the firmware on my router to the latest version (.15 I believe) and everything seems to work very well.
Updates to the firmware on the router appear to be the way to go!
I will present if I have additional problems.

I got an iphone 4 to a friend in the Canada. I want to use it here in the Philippines as a regular iPad reserved for wifi, how can I use it without sim card? It does not pass the activation page. Help please?
You can activate it without a SIM card. If it is locked, it takes a SIM card by the carrier, for it is locked. The SIM card should not be linked to an active line of service, but it must be present to activate it.

Help, please! Desperate! iOS9 on 4S has no wifi - tried everything!
Hey guys, as the title suggests I made a big mistake and upgraded to iOS9 and can use internet. My phone tells me that I am connected to my wifi, but it seems that my apps or safari will connect. Here is what I tried:
-My phone is 4s, it is without 'wifi help' to disable
-J' tried settings > General > reset > reset network settings
-J' tried settings > Wi - Fi > select your connection > tap forget this network, and then add it again
-J' again tried to turn airplane mode
-J' tried the settings-> General-> Reset-> reset all settings.
-J' tried to change the DNS & Renew lease
-J' checked other wifi connections and no luck so it isn't really a problem my end memory contact my service provider wireless internet won't get me anywhere.
-J' tried to reinstall iOS9 twice, by turning the phone off & on again, turning off & on new mac & wait a few days for him to dispel magic
Here's what I tried to do:
-J' tried to get down, but I can't because I need to disable "Find my iPhone" that I can't do. Why? No idea. I tried to remove my camera on iCloud on my mac. I tried to press 'restore' while pressing the option key to install the ipsw file, but I got the error message "the device is not eligible for the requested build." I tried to put it in DFU mode also all by installing. When I go to iCloud on my phone everything is gray and I can't still 'disconnection' I guess following no any internet connection.
It is therefore unacceptable, apple even do anything if I have an appointment? Apple team, your software broke my phone, please answer me and help me to fix. I know it's a 4 s, but I'm on this amazing my tech and I bought in apple as you guys are meant to be strong.
Please please please help me! I'm not computer illiterate, but not a genius with technology so can have clear instructions or advice.
Hi, you may need to take an appointment-genius bar and take it to your local apple store to have a look in your device. They will be able to perform diagnostics and may be able to solve your problems of Wifi on site at the store while you're there. However, they will not be able to downgrade, or you, as the reason why you can not downgrade is not because of the iCloud or find my iPhone, but because Apple has stopped signing iOS 8.4.1, making the downgrade to iOS 8 impossible, try to do will cause only mistakes failure restore in iTunes. I hope this has helped!

Hello
I tried several times to read the youtube videos with network wifi and it works fine, but when I use the 3G or GPRS nework to play the video, it first to ask "Switch to WAP for streaming media? (with wifi that he won't ask) so I press ok and it uptempt to load and an error message "content not available. Server is blocked or unresponsive. ", it goes with all the videos I click on that. Help, please.
Thank you
Let me share my personal experience on the subject. When they are facing the same problem, I asked my provider and they tried to pull a fast explaining that viewing videos on the 3G network is dependent on the device and that it is not possible to videos on my BB "BOLD" due to speed issues. They even suggested that I buy an iPhone 3G given that subscribers who do not seem to display YouTube videos problems. A load of rubbish! After only a brief workshop organized by RIM and my career, I was "unofficially" informed by a member of staff that it was a TCP/APN issue. I take advice, made the necessary adjustments, and was able to view Youtube videos on the 3 G network without problem. However, my Bill the next month floored me. Even if I'm on a package data unlimited, I was charged an extra $ 70 on top of what I usually pay. Learn more with my carrier, they were kind enough to inform me that I have to access the Internet via their APN address, which translates into a lower speed of AFN, orI will have to pay for accessible data on the other addresses of the AFN. I supported with my questions and my carrier eventually admitted that they were actually limiting the speed on AFN as allowing only some mobile devices to access data at 3G speed. Then you tell me!

T41 WiFi options {{Please HELP}}
Hello, first of all, please excuse my ignorance about me. I'm new to the WiFi feature on my laptop. Here my question, I just bought a T41 and I am very, very happy. Problem is I want to be able to buy the WiFi to a business service, i.e. of Tmobile, Verizon etc... They inform me that I need to buy a PC card in order for my computer laptop to function on their network, is - it true? I am aware that my laptop is equipped with built-in WiFi, I was wondering if I can use my WiFi to connect to their service? My main goal is to have a good wireless connection no matter where I'm going. Help, please?
You're talking about two different types of services: that your wireless card is intended is known as WLAN, for connection to routers wireless, hot spots, etc.
You can buy a map and the accompanying plan in order to obtain service from Verizon, Sprint, AT & T WWAN.
So no, your existing wireless card cannot connect to one of the suppliers.
I hope this helps.

New connection WIFI in Windows 8 is INCREDIBLY unstable. Help, please!
My machine is a Samsung NP550P7C. I have 4-5 bars of signal when connecting to my wireless router. There are 3-4 laptops in the House who regularly use the same router without ever having an unstable connection, which gives a solid and undeniable performance. However, mine is 'nervous' at best, often late, sometimes completely cut, causing I have to reset the network adapter to retrieve my connection. Essentially, it is unusable.I tried various things thanks to scouring the internet:
-Adjust the settings of the adapter wireless on all the power of the Plans that I use on 'Maximum Performance '.-All my network card drivers are up to date.
-J' tried to disable the network card and allows him once again.Nothing works. It of very frustrating and is clearly a problem with Windows 8, because my laptop is brand new and all the drivers etc are up to date.
I have not tried to uninstall and reinstall Windows, as I literally just received the computer the other day! I have tried unistalling and then re - install the wireless adapter, as it seems very risky to meHelp, please!
Hi James,
I appreciate your efforts to solve the problem.
This problem may occur if the network card is damaged or due to corrupted network drivers.
Method 1:
I suggest you to check if the problem occurs when you use a wired network connection or not.Method 2:
I suggest you to see the steps in the article.Wireless and wired network problems:

each installation.Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
