WAG160N exasperating dropouts/reliability

I myself bought a gateway WAG160N after I set up an ADSL service at my home last weekend.

I have install the modem to the letter by the installation fast and installed guide the LELA utility to observe the State of the network. The modem has power, wireless, LAN and Internet LED all green. Only my laptop is connected wireless modem with Vista 32 - bit OS. My network driver is up-to-date.

Recently, I had constant dropouts on the ADSL connection at irregular times. In order to get the internet on the back, I have to turn off the modem and reconnect it and internet * sometimes * will come back on. These just dropouts make sense that the line is good, but the modem just DC and the Green LED for DSL and Internet disappear, mainly the LED of the Internet. I first thought that there was a problem with the ADSL signal goes to the modem, so I made sure that the phone is connected to an in-line filter and the bridge is on the other phone access point. Always lands from time to time. I rang my ISP to determine if they have service problems and run a test on my line. No problem there. At some point the modem stores a red LED on the status of the Internet. I looked into the the User Guide on the CD, but I can't find anything that gives me information if the red LED is on... I would have thought that if there is no connection to the internet and then the light is just off until what means Red? It would be useful that Linksys actually included information about status codes all THE LED in the User Guide as it provides only very little info on the right green LED.

I used the LELA application to diagnose and repair the connection, but I have little success (he has reconnected on one of the many opportunities...). I did a hard reset of the modem so and I tried it while the modem is on. After the reset, I assumed that this would have wiped all of the predefined settings and passwords so I Redid the installation from the CD again and it was back to normal until the resumption of the stall as before. I am a technician in electronics by trade with the Australian army and I had an experience with a lot of facilities do haywire, more more, die from excessive and prolonged heat. I switched the modem turned off again and let it sit for a good 10 minutes, sometimes bring to my air conditioner to cool because he has a certain feeling hot at the top, after he sat for 20 min. The modem will reconnect to the internet successfully several times than not but it probably will go down later. It seems to be helping a little although I believe the problem is mabye not only heat.

Now, I'm trying to update the firmware of the modem because it is on A1.00.09 and I noticed that it est.15 until now. The first thing that confusing is the option of two firmwares (appendices A and B). I have looked around on the forum, but can only find little info that the difference is that one has a target audience for some countries while the other is for the rest of the world? :\

I got stabbed in Appendix B, as it is the only one on the top, generally files are sorted initially with English and then all other languages to the bottom of the list of downloads... anyway I went to download the file. The file is in .zip format, no problem. Then I find out it is a .img file in which the firmware files must be extracted from the. As the laptop I'm trying is the better half, it is not a program to extract a .img file. I downloaded Winzip and proceeded to try and extract it using only to be met with an error indicating that the file cannot be read, perhaps as a result of being corrupt. Appendix A is the same format.

Why o why Linksys is doing this the most galling experience for the customer? This part of the product when I bought it? I missed something on the user guide that says that I would be tested on my problem-solving skills. / end of rant

So I'll try to find another program that can open the file. Can someone please offer assistance to this ridiculous situation I learned at? I have forgotten something.

If the problem continues, I have no worries handing the modem to return to the place where I bought for her. I'm not going to wait for a warranty replacement, as when I buy something that is supposed to probably give me access to wireless internet at just a laptop, I expect to work up, just like it says on the box!

My apologies for the late reply.

Thanks for the help, I looked in your suggestions and I still have a lot of upheaval with the router. I gave up.

I told the store I bought the story and they gave me a full refund so I bought a router competitors. What do you know? It works!

I still get the "once in a blue moon' to disconnect but I blame that on ADSL here Aus infrastructure. Our broadband services world pretty 4th East. Nevertheless, I have no more constant dropouts and the router and the phone work together well.

Continuous WAG160N dropouts of the internet.

I've owned the annex WAG160N has since a few months now, and it worked perfectly...

But recently, the unit suffers from dropouts to internet every 10-20 minutes of use, with the light RED internet light and "forced" LILY as an indication, and I need to the manual reset the device to restore the connection.

I called the provider (TRUE Internet Co.) and it seems that everything is fine. My computer is a laptop running on Windows 7 with Intel WiFi Link 5100 as a WLAN module.

The firmware of the router is 1.00.15 out of the box, I tried flashing it, restore to the factory settings and reconfigure the settings, the problem is still there.

Very well. I talked to Support technical Linksys and they concluded that the device is defective. Since it is still under warranty, I brought the defective unit to the authorized service center and got a new replacement unit, and now works without a problem.

Thank you very much for your help!

WAG160N/WUSB300N combo stall problem

Hello

I have problems with this combination of installation. Most of the time - navigation etc is fine - but when I try to transfer large files (> 50 Mb) by a machine XP SP3 on the SIN of WD MyBook I - I get connection drops.

What is happening is that the connection goes dead. Windows notifies him that connected and reports the packets being sent - but I have no answer. It requires a "repair" of the connection to get it going again. I don't know if it is the router or usb adapter. Can I leave a night connection GB transfer smaller files (e.g. pictures) - but try and transfer a large movie file or something and the connection will be after a few minutes.

-J' pushed upward for the last firmware.12 on the 160N and that solved a lot of questions I had (like DNS dropouts at random points and I can see the MacBook MyBook so Hello works now)- and I use the latest Marvell drivers from Windows Update (1.0.7.3) - but the problem with large files. One thing is driving me to the USB adapter in the place that I go, if does not make a large file transfer and connection, make a crash on the XP machine.

The MyBookWorld is a new purchase and seems to work correctly since the MacBook (also wireless - adapter one airport N - return 130Mo/s, a G airport) in the House - even if we have not tried to transfer a very large file from there. Video was transmitted since the mybook to there without any problems - even if it did not persist beyond a trial period of 1 to 2 minutes.

Now, I'm a little lost. I'm happy to replace items if it will improve the situation - but I have no idea if we replace the 160N or the USB300, or even both! I'm in a pretty crowded network zone - next door channel 1 - permanently on, 2 networks in channel 11 - they go and come - but are no longer on that turned off, 2 networks that appear from time to time to channel 6 and at least one other working down on channel 4 that popped up on the scans near the front of the House. My wireless channels were selected by trial and error to see what works the best!

Some basic configuration information: active WPA2, Wideband (connection 40 Mhz), Channel 6 by default, 8 of the scale. XP SP3 patched to the hilt, the firewall standard XP, MacBook under Leopard - also patched to the hilt. MyBookWorld (2nd edition - with white lights) connected directly to WAG160N. Reported on the USB300N speeds vary from 80 MB/s to 240 MB/s - but tends to settle on 180 MB/s, most of the time.

Any help is appreciated! TIA!

Mike

Hooray... success... sort of!

It looks like a firmware.12 problem.

I pushed the WAG160N back to the firmware.9 and I am able to copy of GB of files without the same paw sffering. Instead, I suffer from a lack of service Hello different dropouts... but I do not have the same drop in volume related.

So I'll copy all the files on the firmware.9... then move a.12 and I hope that linksys will move a.13/.14/.15 which will fix all the issues... before you go out and buy another router.

Newbie needing advice on the purchase of equipment to expand the range of WAG160N wireless

Hello

I'm new to the Board and I would like to ask a question in 'newbie '.

What product to buy to extend the reach of my WAG160N wireless router? Am I limited to Cisco products or bridge/Repeater of another manufacturer would work?

I the main connection in a garage renovated (at the forward end of the House) at the bottom and unfortunately the signal falls severely on the floor and the back of the House there are some walls of concrete between the two. The intensity of the signal in the children and the main rooms are not reliable and therefore acts of procedure of the family to "do something, Dad!"

I have the possibility of a connection to local network of WAG160N, through the wall of a Repeater. If so, what would be the most logical and hassle-free purchase (Cisco or otherwise)?

Any advice would be gladly entertained as I want to do my research before hitting the stores.

You can go for WAP4410N is the device that can communicate with the wireless router and can help you get the best range of wireless network.

No reliable WiFi for iPhone and iPad

I have an Airport Express, Time Capsule with two extensions Express airport and once every 3 days I have to power cycle to get my iPad and iPhone to be able to use the Wifi. I-devices connect and show they have Wifi signal but they cannot transmit data. The airport on the iPhone and iPad App show Extenders but do not see the time Capsule (which provides the route to the internet) when this symptom occurs. I have also 2 MacBooks using the airport for Wifi and they do not seem to be affected. Once I have power cycle the Wifi Time Capsule works again for up to 3 days and then I'm right back where I started.

I am really frustrated with this, if anyone has any ideas of what I can do to fix this, I'd love to hear them. -Like to me, I may need to consider a new airport or an alternative companies Wifi router to get the reliability, I need.

Time Capsule is currently running firmware 7.7.7

Express Extenders are 7.6.7

The two iPhones are 6 s on 10 iOS version

iPad Pro is iOS 10

The two MacBook with OS X 10.11.6

FWIW, there were a few post here associated with iOS 10 and network connectivity. Nothing substantial, but just letting you know. However, one question would be: do you have this start happening after the upgrade of your iOS devices? It also affects your so non - iOS devices?

That said, let's try to exclude your current network configuration. You mentioned that you have Time Capsule (TC) and extend its Wi - Fi network with two base station AirPort Express (AX). Is the link between the AXs and the TC wired or wireless?

What are the exact models of each of your base stations? Where the AXs extending regarding the TC?

Airport Extreme + Express + older Express audio dropouts

My setup is as follows:

Coaxial cable-operator-> cable modem provider-> Airport Extreme via Cat5e

Express #1 a few feet away, analog stereo output, extreme network expansion

#2 2 parts away, similar stereo out, Express extreme network extension

2014 Macbook pro, Yosemite

When I broadcast iTunes on Express #1, is generally well from anywhere. When I listen to #2 (either by itself or in addition #1) I get occasional audio drop outs anywhere, the macbook is, even though my internet remains stable. For example, the macbook is right next to the Express #2, streaming internet radio and play through internal speakers. When I send also the audio to Express #2 (multiple speakers in itunes), which express audio stream is sporadic, although the internal speakers turned on constantly. I would have thought dropouts would leave as the macbook approached #2, but there is virtually no change.

If the macbook is right next to the #2 Express, he continued directly towards the #2 or that made a trip to the extreme and #2? Possible Express #2 is working to expand the network ok but does not just for airplay? It is a first or second generation.

Thank you!

What are the exact models of each of your airport base stations?

When I broadcast iTunes on Express #1, is generally well from anywhere. When I listen to #2 (either by itself or in addition #1) I get occasional audio drop outs anywhere, the macbook is, even though my internet remains stable.

The main path that AirPlay takes when streaming to your configuration is:
- Starting from the host of iTunes MacBook to AirPort Extreme.
- Extreme for:
  - Express #1 if this Express is chosen as the "speaker" AirPlay, or
  - #2 has been chosen as speaker, express or
  - At the time, if the two were chosen as speaker.
Thus, it is possible that the path includes several obstacles (walls) for AirPlay to go.

If the macbook is right next to the #2 Express, he continued directly towards the #2 or that made a trip to the extreme and #2?

AirPlay, in theory, go first to the base station that iTunes host is connected to.

When you extend, you lose a significant amount of bandwidth just to keep the network wireless in this configuration. So the question is: do you really need to expand your network or continuously more important for you?

no reliable connection! (On Google)

When I try to search something on Google form the taskbar, it says no reliable connection, and it allows you to "Understand the risks" and continue through. I don't know what it does. I just updated firefox, and I've also updated it still does not work.
When I go to Google.com, it loads, but as soon as I get something on the site, it seems glitched and the other features of it such as Images, videos, news, research tools, automatically takes me to the untrusted connection.

I why Google is not reliable? its a Web site everyone uses!

his saying this.

This connection is Untrusted

You asked Firefox to connect on www.google.co.uk, but we cannot confirm that your connection is secure.

Normally, when you try to connect safely, sites will present a reliable identification to prove that you're in the right place. However, the identity of this site cannot be verified.
What should I do?

If you normally connect to this site without problems, this error can mean that someone is trying to impersonate the identity of the site, and you should not continue.

This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HST) to specify that Firefox didn't connect safely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate.

www.Google.co.UK uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown.
The server may not send the appropriate intermediate certificates.
A certificate of origin additional should be imported.

(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

That is the only site that gives you an untrusted connection or it is rampant with many sites? Before creating exceptions, we recommend that you investigate the cause of the problem. In some cases, just Firefox is not set up to work with your security software or parental filter mentioned previously. In other cases, however, a malware infection can be reading all your navigation and you do not want to clean that up.

As a starting point, use one of these: BitDefender, ESET, Kaspersky or Avast?

On nearly all Web sites not reliable connection error

Whenever I try to go to a Web site I get "an error of no reliable connection" he gives me "(code d'erreur: sec_error_unknown_issuer)".wa I made sure that my clock is the right time and date, not always error. " I have reset firefox, still get error. I've removed cert8.db, still getting error. I ran ADWcleaner, still get error. I can't fix this error, no matter what I do help please it will be very appreciated.

Hi, if you have parents who put these controls, then they would have to lift the restrictions as well.

You can also (and this is just a hunch, I don't know if it would work) you can try the steps mentioned in this article to help ms for windows 8: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2965142 - there is a section called experienced problems for Firefox usersthat describes a workaround solution to import the necessary certificates in firefox...

I get a message of no reliable connection on all Web sites

I get the "connection is not reliable" ((Web site) uses an invalid security certificate) message on all pages I try to visit.

Thank you for following it upwards. Unfortunately, certificates of do_not_trust could be a sign of unwanted software on your pc that is to intercept the secure network traffic. go to the system control panel and uninstall programs such as BrowserSafeguard, BrowserSafe, backup or other software that seems suspicious and did not get intentionally installed by you.
_{Reference: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/982532#answer-520145}

afterwards, run a full scan of your system with security tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.

IPhone refurbished reliable sellers

Hello

I've been looking for a new iPhone for several weeks now and managed to find a very reasonable value, good nick iPhone 6 with 64 GB of storage in gray space (at least that is what I was told on the description of the object) arrived quickly in a very poor packaging. The box was a 3rd party one containing the phone, a sim card slot key and a charging cable (without charger) I discovered that the phone is faulty, a few days ago and he returned to a full compensation, restitution and £25. I'm now looking for a refurbished iPhone 6 64 GB in unbearably Gold/Silver for sub bar for £400. If anyone has some good suggestions of reliable sellers and he could meet with them that would be very appreciated.

Thank you, Freddie.

Apple does not sell refourbis iPhones and has never, nor allow any iPhone Apple authorized reseller to sell refurbished phones. The only devices that are refurbished are those repaired by third-party companies. What the companies consider "renovation" varies greatly and you should ask them what they do to their devices. Note that there is also no legitimate source of original OEM new to unauthorized dealers or service centers, if none of these companies offering the refurbished devices use used/salvaged parts, parts grey or downright fraudulent.

Essentially refourbis a company or a website selling iPhones sell anything the more used peripherals that they cleaned the place, or perhaps finally somewhat tested. In addition, any warranty on these devices will be only the seller or the company that made refurbishing what we call, but not Apple.

[PLEASE HELP] This cable or accessory is not reliable...

I have recently (July 21) received a used iPhone that I bought online. Everything works like new, it's just that on the second day, the phone was telling me that the charger is not reliable, but it worked fine yesterday! Now, my phone does not load please help me on this!

Thanks in advance (iPhone 5 s)

-Kirsty

Y at - it a brand name on the charger, there are many people who are not quality controlled or it could be damaged and can be a problem.

Contact apple to make an appointment for the genius bar or buy an Apple recommended charger.
