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!

  • When my monitor goes to sleep I can't wake him up by clicking on the mouse. I have to restart the computer to see the monitor

    When my monitor goes to sleep I can't wake him up by clicking on the mouse. I have to restart the computer to be able to see the screen.  I tried all turned on and on the screen but when I do it says monitor going to sleep

    I assume you are using a desktop computer you are referring to the monitor going to sleep rather than the course of PC to sleep.

    1 check the monitor power management & the display adapter in Control Panel, Manager of peripheral and during that control you the mouse power management and make sure that it is likely to be used for anything wake up.

    2 in case of failure, then check the monitor & display settings of the adapter to control panel, display.

    3 check manual site or the monitor stand, so the settings recommended.

    4 then check the settings of the Control Panel, power options, change plan settings change advanced power settings.  In particular, if it is a USB mouse, you may disable settings settings USB, USB selective suspend setting.

  • WLAN is disconnected and I have to restart the Satellite A205

    I've had this * Toshiba Satellite A205 Intel Core 2 Duo T5300 32 Bit Vista Home Premium computer laptop * for almost 3 years and at least once and sometimes twice a day, I have to restart find my internet connection.

    It stops just for no apparent reason. I no longer receive e-mails via Outlook and get an error page in my browser window. It is extremely frustrating because I work from home. I have Wildblue satellite internet and have had since I bought this laptop.

    I also have a desktop XP computer that accesses to the * Wildblue satellite internet * with no issues at all. This leads me to think that there is a problem with Vista and internet Satellite work together.

    Does anyone have any ideas on how I can resolve this once and for all? I really do not have to restart my computer on a daily basis or will not be disturbed while he was working on something.

    Thank you so much in advance.

    Lynne

    Hello

    If I understand correctly you message the laptop worked for troubled 3years free and Wlan issue has developed now is it right?
    Have you thought about software? I mean the fact that the operating system has not been reinstalled long and that a confused OS could cause these issues?

    But before you to reinstall all the system I would recommend checking if an update of the WLan driver would help. In addition, you should check if you are using the latest version of the BIOS.
    While this updates will not help, reinstall (update player WLan after relocation) operating system and check if the problem still persists.

    Good luck

  • Media Player 11 error: "connect burner and restart the player ' when trying to burn a CD

    Original title: Media player 11 on dell e510 in XP.

    When I try to burn a cd with media player, have a message 'connect burner and restart player' and burn is dimmed.  I have a sony crx310ee internal d ' training.  Media Player will play cd but does not recognize the burner.  Was able to burn with Roxio but uninstalled trying to get media player to work.  Have you tried to update the driver, but I'm told that nobody no more recent is (over 3 years).  Removed upper and lower filters.  Have not unhooked by car and restarted.  Do you have a regedit and changed the 3 to 2 Volume guid value.    This adds the record to the properties of the drive button.  Have run convenience store and it reports the device is not a burner, which is incorrect.

    Help!

    Yes!  Think my problem is resolved.  Had ignored a suggestion to uninstall the burner and reboot.  This seems to have solved the problem since I just burn a CD using media player.

  • My printer will only print one page, then I have to restart the computer to print another

    The printer was fine since purchase, but recently, it will print a page after be on, then if I try to print a different document, he goes as far as the document taking up and looks like it's ready to print, then stops.  I tried to cancel the print job, but he will not - delete it then repeat "delete" in the print queue (but never removes it).  UN-plugging the printer is not clearly the print job.  The only way I can get to print the next thing is completely restart my computer.

    I tried to uninstall and reinstall the printer.  I put on all the latest updates for the printer... I am at a loss :(

    Does anyone have a suggestion?

    In the latest batch of updates to Windows, Microsoft has installed Internet Explorer 11. IE11 caused printer problems.

    Open Internet Explorer, click on help, then click about words of Internet Explorer. It should show the version here. If you IE11, then go to control panel, Windows Update, updates installed, look for Internet Explorer 11. Click Internet Explorer 11, uninstall.

    Restart the computer when you are prompted. Then see if your printer works.

  • Explorer crashes randomly on windows 7 64 bit. Have to restart the computer to correct.

    Hi, I read the related discussions but don't know what the problem is or how to diagnose.

    Recently, windows Explorer crashes and the only solution is to completely restart my computer.

    It will work again for a while then crash.

    Ctrl alt del doesn't show windows Explorer, so I can't turn it off.

    Surfing the internet, some people say the shell extensions are the problem and to turn them off, but they all want allows you to download the software from their Web sites to show extensions... I am wary of downloading something from someone, I don't know if have not done this.

    Not sure that the problem is... computer is completely up to date.

    I think that the problem may have begun because the last windows update but I can't be sure.

    Any help would be appreciated... can't keep turning off my computer during the day!

    Thank you

    I think I have the answer.  Has taken ALL DAY!

    Malware.

    About four months ago, I downloaded something nasty. It was very obvious that the toolbar in internet explore was changed etc.

    Immediately contacted Symantec (I have Norton Internet Security): paid $100 to remove the offender to ensure. Did not see pictures weird or redirected to websites unwanted:

    Thought I'd hired a professional and the work was well done!

    Just pay a (larger) another sum to Lenovo. They took almost four hours to determine and correct the problem and the culprit was the remains of the VERY SAME malware, buried deep! I never had the problem of a virus.

    OK now I want only a little (okay, big) RANT.

    Things seem to be working very well now. Symantec and asked for a refund. Also to check why it is not removed correctly in the first place. He said probably, I downloaded the malware even once again and they only guarantee their work for 7 days. How was I supposed to know that the pieces have been buried deep into my computer, causing havoc, that nothing was visible?

    To have Microsoft hired but Lenovo at least offer a one year support plan. Apparently, Microsoft will sell only support plans to Americans, non-Canadian (said to me on the phone when they offered the package and discovered then I lived in the Canada and withdrew the offer, would NOT take my money).

    Thanks for trying to help, they offer honest help. This rant is not directed against you.

    I am of course not at all happy at hundreds of dollars and hours spent being at the other end of the "guilty client game" the supposed expert virus (Symantec) and apparently being the Canada excludes the purchase of a paid Microsoft support plan (Americans are of course welcome to spend their money with Microsoft).
