One month old WRT1900AC deteriorates, strange problems

So I've upgraded to a WRT1900AC ago a month based on reviews and research online.

The installer was not serious and performance seems to be what I expected, but in the course of the last week or two, there was a notable decline in performance and some strange WiFi problems.

1 network devices list of devices meant to be connected via ethernet wireless.

2. devices which were fortunately connected to the 5 GHz band will connect is more to it.

3. a Macbook Pro, who played very well with 3 different routers suddenly does not connect to the WRT1900AC at all, but fortunately connects to my router Fortigate.

4. make a simple change of last night caused to security wireless settings are totally disabled on the 2.4 GHz band, while the router status page has continued (Yes, authorized, cache, even looked at him from another pc) to insist that she had WPA2 PSK active.

5 turn off both radios wireless via the browser has failed. 2.4 GHz non-secure radio continued to broadcast.

6 restart did nothing.

7. in general, throughput has significantly slowed - Dropbox, for example, provides the connection to a crawl during the synchronization.

8. restoration of the default settings in the browser and then change SSID and password for my normal seem to have fixed things, but for how long?

Not a fan of the interface.

Background: mixed environment, Mac, Windows, Android, PS4, XBox, XBox 360. Living in such things as does another Member of the family.

Should not be affected by these issues with a ~ $220 router - this isn't a model of consumption barebones but it seems not quite ready for primetime-I was wondering if I should be Exchange or return while I still can for a Netgear or maybe an Asus.

No, I'm sorry not to be able to put the time in troubleshooting this but it seems rather unnecessary since there is no indication of a solution in the form of a firmware updated on the horizon and my time is valuable so (it is already packed) and I will replace it with a Netgear AC2600.

PS: just before I packed it it became all 2.5Mbps down on the 5 GHz band. For that, I spent $220 and several hours of my time?

PPS: I now call a customer of the company and tell them that the router, I recommended to them is not up to my expectations and they will probably return as their router, because they only had it for 2 weeks.

    One of the is for audio in and one for the audio output. Some versions of some have a plug S/PD/F. Chances are the reason why you get static is that if you connect a headset with a microphone jack, it will try to behave like a microphone. It will not work properly.

  • My 8 month old iPhone 6s has battery problems...

    My 8 month old iPhone 6s began recently to close 20%, even 30% left of life battery.

    The LOAD icon comes in saying that it is completely flat when I know that it is not. If I start to load, it shows that there's a lot of life left in it.

    I am running the latest iOS and the time is updated automatically. My phone is defective? Anyone have any ideas? I would stay on the phone?

    Try recalibrating your battery meter:

    • Charges to 100%
    • Run the battery until the phone turns off
    • If it stops above 1% charge for only one minute, and then continue running the battery down. Repeat until it makes 1% before shutting
    • Load it back to 100%

    If the battery is defective, this should fix it.

    You can also check the battery using the autonomy application from the app store.

  • Strange problem with touchpad on Satellite L500-19Z

    I have an older one month by Satellite L500-19Z running on Windows 7 64 bit.
    While using it to edit photos, he began to behave strangely. It was as if someone was quickly down the left button of the mouse. I have been unable to leave any program or use the Start Menu to restart.

    After turning off the power supply and the battery, I started it in Mode without failure, but the problem was still there. If I flew over any icon that he raised the window several times. By disabling the touchpad through Fn + F9, I was able to use a graphics tablet to re - start and it works normally. I hesitate to use the recovery of the system or the recovery disks that I created when I bought it because of the number of third party programs that I would lose.

    Everyone knows the problem please? What should I do to activate the touchpad see if it works fine now?
    Thank you very much

    Hello

    Can you turn the touchpad by pressing FN + F9 as usual?

    In your case I would also update the driver for the touchpad. You can download it here:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    If an external mouse works but the touchpad is still problems, I think that you need to use the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings. After that, you have the same settings as on the first day where you bought the laptop.

  • Strange problems on Satellite P30

    Hello
    Hope someone can help me that this laptop is causing me a massive headache

    The P30 for 2 1/2 years now, had my share of problems, DC have to be repaired and overheating due to the obstruction of the fan/radiator etc.

    a few months I ve noticed problems again with the domain controller, connection, works ok, but if you hit the laptop a little, it loses its charge and the amber light turns off and it extends the battery, the laptop must be turned off in so he can be charged. Also, there is a hissing/crackling noise from the charger when it is plugged

    I downloaded ATI Catalyst software a few days back and since then I ve had nothing other than problems, I got a mom.exe error and since then I have times m restarting constantly randomly, I formatted my system using the master CD, the laptop was returned to the factory settings, but 2 minutes in windows, I restarted, I formatted again and put an original disc of XP SP2 and who used to put a fresh xp on my laptop. But once I was doing restarted without any warning. Of course, I had installed my hardware from Toshiba disk drivers.

    Now my system is totally messing with my head, I can't get into windows without problem, I can surf the internet without problem, I tested a game for 5 hours last night (set of high spec) there was no reboot at all, and the computer ran fine. If I open windows media player and search for songs my computer restarts, I have tried to install software like nero and System Mechanic it restarts again, I watched a movie using windows media player and who ran late, its when its looking for songs it turns off, I do not understand is how random, I don't see the problem is the video card (games will work perfectly) and I do not think that the problem are a nuisance power because the game ran fine with the fans spinning, got a little hot, but that's normal I guess. It s mainly when I m access some files on my drive C: is when it restarts

    Please can someone help with this strange problem?
    Thanks in advance

  • strange problem with Ericsson H5321

    Hello

    I have a strange problem with Ericsson H5321 on my X 230. Until a few weeks ago, the card worked perfectly as a modem (at least on Linux, so I guess it would be too much work in Windows). Unfortunately, a few weeks ago disappeared from the network manager modem connection. I checked that all the special device for this files still exist:

    $ because I in/sys/class / * / * {ACM, wdm} * / device/interface; echo-n "${i}: ';" $ Cat {i}; fact
    / sys/Class/TTY/ttyACM0/Device/Interface: H5321 gw Broadband Mobile Modem
    / sys/Class/TTY/ttyACM1/Device/Interface: H5321 gw Mobile broadband data Modem
    / sys/Class/TTY/ttyACM2/Device/Interface: H5321 gw Mobile Broadband GPS Port
    / sys/Class/usbmisc/CDC-wdm1/Device/Interface: H5321 gw management of mobile devices to wide band
    / sys/Class/usbmisc/CDC-wdm2/Device/Interface: H5321 gw Mobile Broadband USIM Port
    $ lsusb | grep Ericsson

    .. .and I also checked it works like GPS (at least kind of: it generates data on/dev/ttyACM2 NMEA streams, but cannot get a GPS fix even after 45 minutes with access to an open sky).

    Then I tried to run windows 7 and the card is visible in the "Device Manager", but there is also no possibility to create the GSM connection in the connection menu in the bottom right.

    I tried a new install of Windows 7, I tried to reset the BIOS (even with the removal of the battery backup), but still I can't force them to work again. My BIOS is fully upgraded BTW: the problem appeared during the use of 2.61 and I also tried with recently published 2.62.

    My cell phone is always on the extended warranty, but as modem bought in line with the basic configuration it was only covered by the warranty of 12 months has expired

    Today it came to my mind that, as the modem itself seems a little work (present, responsive GPS device) then maybe it's a SIM card reader that is actually damaged (which would explain a bit why the camera itself is present, but I can't create a connection). Can someone confirm or deny my theory? If it is valid, then I could still replace SIM card reader because it is part of the basic configuration.

    Thanks a lot for your suggestions!

    [Mystery solved: I managed to put the SIM card on a wrong side...;]
    [I hate myself so muuuuch;]
    ([btw: Lenovo could fix their SIM card reader, so there is only one possible way to put a SIM card using his corner of heart: it would have saved me 2 days of stress and an investigation;]) )

  • Strange problem with BT Headset!

    Hello

    I have a very strange problem with BT headset.  My Z3 is model of official unlocked Docomo of SO - 01 G.  I got PlayStation Voxtube 500 BT headset BT version is THE 4.0.  This headset has been used with Nexus 5 (Android 5.1.1) without any problem and the battery last almost a week to stanby with a few minute talk time per day.  However, after not getting Z3 with Android 4.4.4, pairing with Voxtube has no problem.  Then, the battery is discharged within 4-5 hours stanby.  I tested it for 3 or 4 times, it has come down to that there must be something worng with the battery of the headset.

    So, I got with PlayStation representative claim (it is only a few months old).  Surprisingly, representative of PlayStation has all the test suggested no stanby time problem with their phones iPhone 5 or Sumsung Galaxy S5.  Then I took back recharged so its performance is very short wait duration the same as before.  So, I tested it with my iPad Mini 3 and performance return to normal standby time.

    So, it can be concluded for only problem is with the Z3. But once again with the mating with the other headset BT Jabra Tag2, stanby time is within the normal range (4-5 days).  When that happens?  I am very confused. Should I give up on PlayStation?

    Thank you for your time,

    Simply upgrade to 5.0.2 lolipop and hope this will help me on this issue.

  • Strange problem with universal theme, jQuery and APEX 5 on Windows 8.1

    I have a strange problem that makes me crazy. I get it whenever I need to run some jQuery or JavaScript in the new universal theme. This page is a good example:

    https://Apex.Oracle.com/pls/Apex/f?p=93000:600

    Whenever I click on the calendar icon it opens and closes immediately. This happens when I click on and release the quick mouse button. If I do it slowly, click it, wait a second and release the mouse button, it opens as expected. I did the inspection of javascript in the firebug debugging console and I can see that each action runs twice.

    On this page, you can debug:

    https://Apex.Oracle.com/pls/Apex/f?p=93000:16

    by pressing a button.

    I did some tests with some of my colleagues and discovered that this happens only on computers with Windows 8.1 running pages in Firefox or Google Chrome. IE works as expected.

    I invite participants in this forum to do a test for me, if they have one of the browsers mentioned and Windows 8.1. My tests were from two different laptops I (the two Windows 8.1) and also of a virtual machine on Windows 8.1. I was able to reproduce this problem on all three computers.

    I also did the same test with apex.oracle.com and with my local installation of APEX 5.0. They both behave the same.

    I can't reproduce this with applications having the old model like this:

    https://Apex.Oracle.com/pls/Apex/f?p=31517:215

    Thanks in advance.

    Denes Kubicek

    Brad, thanks a lot for the performance test.

    Talking with the main developers of the universal theme, this afternoon, we have now highlighted what we believe to be the cause of this problem. There's code in a universal theme that uses hammer.js and apply a logic of quick click on all the links and buttons, with a few exceptions closely. We believe that it is this code that may be responsible for these questions.

    Please hold fire for more such tests as requested previously, my apologies for any lost time do. We will follow on this thread with results as soon as we can.

    Thanks again for your help so far.

    Kind regards

  • Logic board failure Mac Pro 3 months old

    I have a 3 months old Mac Book Pro 15 inch 516 g upper computer in line with Apple Care that is supposed to last me years and years to come.  In the night when you're done, I usually store it with 5% battery left.  Come out a few days later, and instead to get the Apple Logo 'Need to plug into the screen', I get this:

    Then I connect my Mac and everything goes back to normal.  When I saw this, I tried POOP my pants and threw up my dinner upward.

    So obviously, I went back to simply Mac where I bought, showed them the video and they said probably will not Board their diagnoses are down to return until next week so forth and so.

    I am extremely worried to have my new Mac being opened upwards and have parts replaced on an old computer on 96 day.  I called the Apple Support, they are not a substitute for a brand new computer.  I called a store that is two hours, they refused a request for replacement.

    If at this point, I guess I'm looking at 3 options and I need the best advice.

    1. consider at my local Mac simply who I am very suspicious about.  I was in the back of their store, and it is not the cleanest.  In addition, they do not have great turn around time.  Someone has simply Mac works on a MacBook Pro before?

    2 ride 2 hours, at the Apple store, make them fix I hope same day otherwise they reship (hopefully) or have pity on me and give me a new mac (what are the odds?)

    3. send it by mail?  Proving that he has problems in this way would be difficult because it takes leave the battery to 1% until it had its issues.  I have pictures and video even though evidence.  Also very wary about this option, we have expelled all new iPhone my husband 6plus and Fedex broke the entire screen and Apple refused to fix what was wrong with the microphone and then cover the repair of the screen.  After 3 hours of quite striking, they he replaced however.

    I called the Apple Support, they are not a substitute for a brand new computer.  I called a store that is two hours, they refused a request for replacement.

    It is the policy - you have only 14 days for return or Exchange, otherwise warranty repairs.

    Take in a test of "Apple Service Diagnostics" and ask specifically for the VST (video systems Test)

  • Strange problems with Firefox!

    Hello.
    I am a user of Mozilla Firefox about 3 years. I use it on my desktop and on my laptop. in the PC, I have no problem; but in the laptop, I have strange problems. I searched this problem to support Mozilla and Google also! but I can't find any answer.
    Also, I have reset Firefox and problem resists. even I uninstall and install after. but the problem remains.
    Now, I'm under Firefox 22.0.

    Problems:
    1. download icon in the header does not work. ( http://www.8pic.ir/viewer.php?file=30576184770845961788.jpg )
    2. sometimes I can't switch between tabs.the there is no need to click!
    3 Middle click of the mouse to move around the page work; but its icon is not displayed! ( http://www.8pic.ir/viewer.php?file=44434592402706809052.jpg )
    4. some of the Add-ons not work! for example; I use "Video download 1.97.2 pure", but its icon in the header will work not (just like the download icon that mentioned in 1). There is no need to click! (I use this add-on in my PC and it works).

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • You can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.

    Thank you.

  • Satellite Pro C850 - strange problem with LAN connection

    Hello world

    I just signed up on this forum because I hope you guys can help me with a really strange problem.

    I recently bought a Satellite Pro C850-1MX
    It came with Win8, but given that I don't really like Win8, I bought an additional Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) license and installed on the laptop.

    The problem I describe, also arrived on 8 to win, which makes it even more strange.

    As soon as I connect a cable to the RJ-45 port, Windows tells me, that the LAN connection is not connected.
    As soon as I unplug the cable, Windows starts looking for a network and actually found one!

    So, the only way to connect to my LAN cable is... I have activate the LAN connection, wait that it detects a network (without the cable connected!) and meanwhile to connect the cable to the network port.
    Now... If I disconnect the cable once again, Windows still shows its connected.

    I must say, that I am a Director of professional network for more than 10 years now, so I should know my systems, but this never happened to me before. Event log shows nothing, re-installing drivers did nothing either. IM quite confused here and I hope you guys can help me.

    Thanks for reading, and let me know if you need any additional info!

    Greetings from the Germany,
    Sandro

    Hello Sandro,

    To be honest I confused m.

    I would try to start talking about the drivers installed, since you changed the system for Win 7.
    All the network devices, such as card WLan and LAN card are properly recognized in Device Manager?

    As I m not wrong not the laptop was equipped with a network card Realtek-8111F (1000BASE-T/100Base-TX/10Base-T) and WLan RTL8723AE Realtek b/g/n card.
    If both should appear in the device properly Manager if you have installed the drivers correctly.

    2nd question:
    You said:
    > As soon as I unplug the cable, Windows starts looking for a network and actually found one!
    Are you sure that you speak of LAN and WLAN?
    For me it made no further since. If the network cable is unplugged, the notebook would connect to the WLan where WiFi is enabled.

  • Possible lemon, a lot of strange problems.

    I tried this message earlier my tablet, but all programs kept crashing when wifi is crushed, then I'll try again on my laptop.

    My TPT is a litle one month now, with minimal use due to some issues I had. Yesterday I tried to use it throughout the day (even if it is stuck in a hospital bed) but it kept crashing and these are the problems I encounter:

    1. The Wifi signal drops after about 10 minutes. In the wifi settings, I can't check the box to turn it back on and it says "error" underneath. The only way is to reboot, that makes me another 5-10 minutes.
    2. Because wifi drops, all the programs for a shutdown crash too, Exchange mail. Google apps, maps, etc. App most require a connection to work, so they all stop the execution.
    3. The broadband connection is weak at best. Despite my phone saying that there is a big signal, the Tablet has few links.
    4. Drop once wifi, broadband also drops and there is NO connection.
    5. Dolphin browser does not keep one of my favorites. They disappear all the time.
    6. I tried to delete an application (gotomypc). After uninstalling it, the widget disappears from the display home, but when I reboot, the app is back!
    7. I tried to do a reset of the system (under settngs / privacy / factory reset), but after checking that all data will be erased, it does not work. When it restarts, it's the same as before.
    8. I also tried the factory reset (using the turning on and tap volume up button). I select "delete all data" and "system restore." But... nothing changes... its the same as before.

    Unfortunately, we must go back for repair... perhaps it should simply be replaced? It Europe as it has a lot of questions!

    I will say that the Lenovo was really good on the Tablet setting!

    They replaced the motherboard and I don't know what else, but it's fixed now. It took about three weeks from start to finish.

    Initially, the Council was on back order, and I still receive send these notifications, which was nice, but frustrating. I called customer service and they were willing to send me a new unit, as the service was owner more than I did, but the game came the next day.

    The next day, I received the repaired TFT and it works great! All previous issues have been resolved and everything works as it should.

    It's moments like this, when there is a problem, a good company stands behind their products and Lenovo did just that for me.

    Thanks Lenovo!
