• Router WRT160N v2 lose wired connections have to restart the router, then all is well again.

  Hi all...

  I'm having some trouble with my WRT160N v2 router, now I use it only to share the internet connection between wired PC.

  I have tride (with the help of live chat) to reduce the size of the MTU to 1300, with no success, also an update of the firmware was informed, but I can't find an update for the version "v2" of the WRT160N router.

  The behavior is really funny:

  -Get random msgs "cable network is disconnected" and "local network connection is now connected".

  * plugged direct cable from my modem to the PC then there is no problem, me makes me believe cables are ok

  -Some sites don't be loading not on two PCs connected to the router, Firefox and IE8 trough during live chat, confirmed the site is up, it's as if something is stuck in the cache of the router or something that prevents some loading sites, sites that happen are random, the browser are not even a real attempt to connect but go now empty.

  -Repair windows and hollow EasyLink advisor will have no effect, Easylink advisor indicates that the connection is good when it doesn't appear, restart the router is always fix the problems (for a while)

  Modem: Comcast Cable

  Router: WRT160N v2

  PC1: XP Pro SP3 connected cable trough using Avast 4 Pro Security

  PC2: XP Pro SP3 connected hollow cable using Outpost Security Suite Pro 2009

  It's very frustrating because you can imagen, I hope someone got some clues for me on this one...

  Thanks in advance...

  It should list version 1, 2 and 3, when you go to: http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/support/WRT160N/download

  Here are the instructions to DOWNGRADE the WRT160N V2, DO NOT USE this on VERSION 1 or 3, it will turn your router into a door stop!

• HP Deskjet 6980: windows 10 + HP6980 to print YELLOW

  The driver for the HP Deskjet 6980 for Windows 10 mistranslates colors sent to the printer. It's what I use is the only new driver for this printer for Windows 7/64.

  Specifically, the YELLOW does not print at all - anything this spell either green blue. I tested this feature by printing two versions of color bars. Indeed, there is no yellow printing, and all the Greens are printed blue. And, Yes, I use new color and black cartridges, so no need to ask about it.

  I built a computer completely NEW with NEW hard disks and a clean install of Windows 10/64-bit via USB 3.0 drive. The only two things that the surplus of my old Windows XP system are the printer and the scanner (HP Scanjet 4370) which worked perfectly on XP system. The scanner has its own problems with Windows 10 and the HP Photosmart Premier does not work (but it is a different matter). I downloaded the new drivers for both devices.

  Apparently, from what I read on the site of HP, the printer or the scanner are supported any longer. I consider that very rude and unacceptable, especially since no appropriate replacement printer is available new from HP with good quality that I've come to expect from HP.

  All that said, is anyone know how I can get my printer to print YELLOW?

  Hello @fairgame,

  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 understand that you have a problem with the WiFi and wanted to help you!

  First of all, try to review the next 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:

  HP PC - troubleshooting Internet and wireless network

  A second option is to try the following steps:
  Powercycle the network:

  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.

  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.

  I can't print wireless setup for my HP Deskjet 6980 in Mac OS 10.6,

  I can't find any software update and do not have my original installation CD.

  I scoured the help pages with absolutely no information for this specific problem.

  OK, it's going to be difficult because the printer is very old and 10.6 technically impossible to set up a wireless connection for your printer.

  With the printer plugged in USB, go to System Preferences > print & fax.  Click on the printer and then click «Options & supplies»

  See if you can find the button "see the printer page.  I doubt you can, but we will try.  If this does not work, your only choices are to connect the Ethernet printer to your router or to solve your original problem of sharing USB or get a new printer.

  Back to your original problem, fixing, share the printer make sure that printer sharing is enabled on two Macs (System Preferences > sharing).  Then, we will reset the printing on the Mac problem system:

  -Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
  -Right (control) click inside the box that lists your printers and select Reset Printing System.
  WARNING - This will remove ALL your printers!

• When I have bad weather I lose my connection several times

  When there is a storm passing (on me or nearby) I lose my connection several times during the storm. I have Verizon DSL. Military have been repeatedly here, check my connections, connections to the outside on the poles, but never nailed the problem. They even ran a direct homerun to my DSL router/modem. Also during the game (UT2K4) my ping shot up to 988 several times. It gets very frustrating, especially when Verizon can't find something wrong. I'm the only one on this line. I have DishNetwork hooked to a modem, I think it is called Sling. Wi - Fi from the receiver to the Slingbox, then the Ethernet cable to a router/modem. May - so that it affects my ping? The router/modem would be bad? It's a westell 327W. I have a connection of Meg 7.

  If you connect your PC to your router/DSL modem via a wired connection and disconnect all other devices (wired & wireless), it would help narrow down if the problem is with your DSL service for your home or something in the configuration of your home. If your connection is OK like this, add devices to your LAN setup one-at-a-time to try to work out which one is causing the problem.

• WRT110 loses the connection when the second laptop connects

  A laptop can be connected to the router at a time and have absolutely no problem. The problems occur when a laptop computer is already connected to the router and another tries to connect to the router as well. When this happens, the router completely loses its connection to the internet. The only way I found to fix it is to unplug it and restart the router, which I wouldn't have to do whenever we want to use the internet. Sometimes it takes restart once or twice to make it work. Does anyone have an idea why this is happening, or what I can do about it?

  I had this problem for a long time. The only thing I found to help combat this problem is to make sure that if you are using Vista, IPv6 is disabled. For some reason when my roommates of desktop, laptop or my laptop has this one it will crash the system. To do this in Vista

  1. click in the Panel

  2. click on view network status and tasks or connections network if you are in Classic view

  3. click on manage network connections

  4. right click on your wireless or wired, but you are connected to the router and go to properties

  5. click on IP Version 6.

  6. click on ok.

  7 reconnect the device to the network.

  Initially it may crash the system. Let the network 5 minutes to try to get back its own. If this does not work then go ahead and unplug and plug back into the router. After the first crash for me, it is not happened again.

  I hope that this will help with some of your problems. It's the only thing I could find to combat the problems you describe. In that case, we are able to run my laptop, his laptop, his office, an xbox360 and a blue-ray on the network without a problem player. Good luck and if you have any questions please ask!

• HP Deskjet 6980 will not install via USB or network

  I've recently updated my PC with a new mother/case/CPU card, etc. and trying to set up my Deskjet 6980 he tries to install two separate drivers.  One is named HP Deskjet 6980 DOT4USB and the other just HP Deskjet 6980.  Dot4USB installation is complete, however the drivers for "Hp deskjet 6980" fail.  The printer indicates only in my "devices and printers" as "HP Deskjet 6980" with an icon of troubleshooting.  whenever I run troubleshoot it tells me I need to install the drivers.  He's trying to install the drivers through troubleshooting or Windows Update every time, she fails.

  I tried to uninstall all instances of the name Deskjet from my computer, turn off the printer, restarted my computer and then turn on the printer/plug again for the same results.

  I plugged my printer on the network and while my laptop has no connection/printing problem, when I try to add it as a network printer in "Devices and printers" it gives me an error message saying "unable to install.  "Double check the name of the printer and make sure that the printer is connected to the network.  I tried both options "Use the driver is installed" and "replace the driver" and both give me the cannot install message.

  Some tips on what might be the problem or how to fix?  I downloaded each item including HP Deskjet 6980 on site without success.

  Windows 7.  As mentioned, the printer works perfectly when connected to my laptop via USB or wireless connection, my PC just does not want to connect via either.

  HP Print & Scan doctor tells me that I must not get the installer of your website, however there is no installer for Deskjet 6980.  The "Printer Install Wizard" & "Hardware diagnostic utility" mean that the printer is not supported by the software.   When I plug in the printer it goes through the process of installing driver as follows:

  

  I tried the update through troubleshooting, Windows Update and even to get the file on the Microsoft Web site (pg no longer exists). I thought about trying to find the driver on my laptop, but I'm not sure the actual name of the file what.

  * EDIT *.

  Looks like I solved the problem myself.  I don't know why, but my printer has appeared only at random in my Uniblue DriverScanner program (it would not be displayed when I looked before).  I was able to download & install from program Driverscanner and my printer works perfectly.  A strange question, but at least it was an easy fix.

  Thank you.

• DeskJet 6980 and rt - no available driver windows

  I just bought a Microsoft Surface with RT

  I have a network HP Deskjet 6980 printer which I want to connect. The installation page using advanced printer, I can find the printer on the network and I would like the thought that the Surface must be able to download the drivers for the printer but instead, show up with a list of printers.

  Guess what, the HP6980 is not on and when I try to update the list of printers, it says that windows update is not available at this time, try again later. It's like that since last week.

  It gives me the option to install from a file, but where can I get a driver for my Deskjet 6980 ARM?

  Hello

  There is currently not an ePrint application available in the App Store Windows.

  You should be able to use the driver "HP Deskjet PCL3 class driver" which is stored in the operating system WinRT.  It is a generic PCL3 driver that should work with your printers Deskjet 6980.

  Hope that helps!

• TimeCapsule loses network connection

  I have a TimeCapsule (new version of turn 2014) and I noticed that my backups are not being every hour. Utility app showed 'device not found' on the network.  I restarted the time capsule - it connects to the network successfully for about 3 minutes and then "Device Not Found".  I restarted my TimeWarner cable modem then restarted TC even question.  My wifi router is the TimeWarner modem and I have 60MB of speed that I'm guaranteed up to 50MB, so all right from the internet side.

  I did a soft reset... same question.  I did a hard reset and used the previous settings - same issue (3 minutes network, and then click device not found a few moments later).  I guess I can do a default network but since absolutely no changes to the network settings have work probably months (7 + months) I don't see why this would happen.  I don't want to lose my entire backup (s) risk is... I have no other way to save my December 2015 MBP.  * Funny, it is the TC network shows, if I hit him "save now" finds TC but TC for 3 minutes then turns off network; However, the backup actually occurs successfully. But will not back up again until I restart then the TC on the network these 2-3 minutes before losing the connection.  Help.

  I have a MBP 15 mid-2015 "and capital El v10.11.6.  My TC etc are all up to date on the versions of software too!

  Many users have posted on the forum with the same number of "Device not found" in the last days. Looks like almost every new post is about it. This is one of a few minutes there are, for example:

  TimeCapsule loses network connection

  Rumor has it that the 10.11.6 recent update is part or all of the problem, according to the opinion.

  The "fix" of the day is to disable Back to My Mac in AirPort Utility, that seems to work for users who have helped with my Mac. Of course, you lose functionality when you do this.

  No solution yet for users who do not use Back to My Mac, because they cannot turn off something they did not.

  Apple is silent, not so much we can do until Apple recognizes that there is a problem (which they are not since yesterday when I spoke to them).

  Stay tuned.

• Wired connection without love at first sight?

  I need to update the software for my router at home. (The router were made by Netgear).

  At the beginning of the instructions, it says this: "to avoid the problem of disconnection during the process of the firmware download wireless, NETGEAR recommends this firmware update be performed on a computer with wired connection.

  I don't know how to connect my Macbook Air to the modem with a cable, since it seems that there is no port for this.

  It seems that I might be able to buy a "Thunderbolt" adapter for $29, but that seems like a piece of expensive hardware because I need only to update this software. For $29, I could virtually buy a new router.

  Two questions:

  1. is there a cheaper way to connect my Macbook Air to the internet with a cable?

  2. can I download updated the firmware of the Netgear via the normal WiFi connection, or he'll just permanently disconnect my laptop on my home WiFi network?

  Thank you for any advice you can give me.

  (1) No, you need to this thunderbolt adapter and an ethernet cable.

  (2) what they give is the perfect Board as ethernet is more reliable than wifi. But I am not agree.  Maybe I have will burn someday, but chances are with me.  99% + chance you can do wireless.  You are offline but can reconnect automatically in most cases and may have to do a manual connect after installs the firmware.

• Libretto U100 often loses the connection to the Wlan platform

  Hello

  I have a problem with my wireless network card. I often lose the connection with the hub. I read on another forum that it might be a good idea to update the drivers. I've never done this before and I want to make sure I do it correctly. Can you please let me know the exact steps?

  Thanks in advance.
  Kind regards

  Hello

  The update of the driver is not difficult. First of all to know what Wlan card you use! This can be checked in the device under network adapters Manager.
  Open the tree menu and check the card WiFi was installed.

  Then you check the Toshiba driver for the most recent updates page or visit the Wlan card manufacturing site to download the latest version of the Wlan driver.

  For the most part this driver package includes the setup.exe file. This file should be run. All that s. But if the setup.exe will fail then you could install or update the driver through Device Manager. There is an option that allows you to update the driver. You must choose the driver download source and the windows updates the old driver. All that s.
