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!

  • Installation of Windows 7 on the second laptop

    first post so please bear with me.

    my Dell Studio 1558 running windows-7 recently deceased.  the motherboard somehow got fried.  I pulled the laptop hard disk on and recycled.  a friend gave me his old inspiron from dell (under Vista).  It is slow and freezes a lot when surfing the internet.

    recently, I remembered that I have a "reinstallation DVD' for windows 7 that came with my (now deceased) Studio 1558.

    I was wondering if I can replace (legally) of Vista with Windows 7?  I want to do a clean install, wipe everything off the Inspiron portable computer, and load Windows-7.

    I ran a diagnosis and the Inspiron can run Windows 7.

    I suppose that if I try to install windows-7, I asked for some kind of activation key (which I did not).  as my old laptop is dead and buried, is there someone or somewhere I can reach out where they can give me activation key because I really only run a version of the OS?

    one last note: I still have the old hard disk of death studio 1558 - I could exploit that somehow?

    hope I posted this in the right forum, thank you

    LouNYC

    Legally, the key was put on a sticker at the bottom of your Studio 1558 and is approved only for this laptop.  If you still had the key, could you transfer it on your computer 'new '? technically, Yes, but with Microsoft EULA changing all the time I don't know if its "legal", I had a key on an old computer and I transferred to a newer computer when the old man died and everything was fine.  The Microsoft Police did not stop for me or anything.

    Long story short the biggest problem is anyway, that if you trashed the laptop with the key on there is no way to recover it.

  • With the help of mark up tools on the second laptop

    I have collaborated with the highlight and sticky notes on my main laptop but now working on my second computer in Italy, which does not seem to have this facility.  Registration details are the same for both machines.  How can I get these tools to continue working on the PDF file?

    Good day Dr. Mittler,.

    Looks like you are using Adobe Reader and you have two different versions on both computers.  Adobe Reader X added sticky notes and highlighter while Adobe Reader 9 tools didn't have this feature.

    I recommend to download and install Adobe Reader X from: http://get.adobe.com/reader/

  • Problems with same or different loadind & activation, on the purchase of a second laptop with platfor operation.

    question 1: this page says a single license for Photoshop CS6 can be activated on a second computer. It is unclear if one can have a different software on the second computer platform. In my case, my original activation is on a Windows 7 laptop, which got a software upgrade of Windows 10 and therefore the Photoshop CS6 is now working on Windows 10. Now I think to buy a second laptop, that can be an Apple, or it may be Windows base 10. Do I have the right to have the second installation on 10 Windows or Apple? Or the second laptop need only Windows?

    2nd question: If two laptops can be installed at the same time with my permit a driving Photoshop CS6, then I have to disable the 1st laptop before installing on the 2nd laptop? And in this case, if my 1st laptop is on Windows 10, can my laptop replacement are allowed to be window 10 or Apple?

    question 3: above must answer for my Lightroom 6 also.

    Could you provide these answers for me soon, please.

    My email address: [Email address removed by Moderator]. I am in Delhi, India. If you can direct me to a representative of your for help with the clarification above, let me know their contact phone numbers.

    with cs6, both computers must be pc or Mac.  You can exchange your pc license for mac license (and vice versa), an Adobe product for another language or version of trading platform

    Lightroom is a cross-dilated license so you can install on a pc and a mac (or 2 Mac or PC 2).

  • Second laptop unable to connect; When trying to connect wirelessly, says connection is successful, but the Public unidentified network, no Internet.

    Hi all.

    I'm really sorry to post this question, I must have read 100 other threads on this topic, but none of the solutions seem to work for me.

    I have a home set wireless network in place, which may not have a lot of problems with it that I have a laptop W7 which has a perfect wireless connection, and also our TV connect when you want, as do our phones and Xbox.

    We bought a second hand Acer aspire laptop for our daughter. It is running Vista Edition family Basic. Even if she had the factory reset done on this, because we can connect to the router with an ethernet cable and it works very well, we managed to ensure that all updates of Windows etc are all complete.

    When trying to connect wirelessly, it says connection successful, but it is to a Public unidentified network, and there is no Internet. Also, even if it says Local access, we cannot connect to the router settings page is.

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the built-in wireless adapter and updated the driver to do this, he says that he is as up-to-date as possible.

    I checked that DHCP is enabled, we tried dynamic and static IP addresses, we have disabled and re ipv6 enabled, we used the command prompt to reset winsock and stack ip, I looked into msconfig services for service # Id_String1.6844f930_1628_4223_b5cc_5bb94b879762 # Apple off but it isn't here.

    I have a real dislike for Norton / products McAfee and there is none of these on the laptop. We will install Comodo Internet Security, Eusing Registry Cleaner, Spybot S & D and Spyware Blaster as soon as the wireless is configured and that the Windows Firewall is disabled.

    We also have many turns of the spin off the coast and laptops, etc. and deactivation and activation of the adapter.

    It seems that all the usual solutions for the lack of connection are not the culprits this time.

  • Why my ipad loses the wifi connection when I abandon my modem wireless of Qwest

    Why my ipad loses the wifi connection when I abandon my modem wireless of Qwest

    WiFi connections are losing their strength increases the distance between the router and so as a general rule, there are some conflicting objects

    Try the following steps please

    The following actions and after each test to see if the issue is resolved - if yes, then you can omit the following steps - I tried to list them in ascending order of the effort at least on a Mac and / or an iDevice

    1. Check if the problem is related to a single device and if other devices connect normally-
    2. If the answer 1 is 'yes' - try to connect the device assigned to somewhere else if possible - coffee or the University
    3. Perform a forced - restart cela do not delete or purge all data and allows to solve many problems - here is how - press and hold the Off / On Home button and at the same time for about 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Allow normal startup upward.
    4. Settings - WiFi - < network name > - Click on forget network - do a restart forced according to 3 and then add again the network
    5. If home - reboot the router by unplugging it for 60 seconds (power) and the plug and reconnect - obviously, this step can be done in a public place like a cafe or airport or University. While you're there - make sure your router is working on the latest firmware (check manufacturer's website)
    6. Settings - general - reset - Reset network settings - remember to have very practical WiFi passwords because it erases the WiFi passwords
    7. If it is a new specific net device in your home - make sure that the router gives enough DNS for all numbers which must / wants a connection - stuff like the printer, Chromecast get overlooked - ask for more details on this so not sure option
    8. Backup the device to iTunes - restore as NEW (no) - see if solves problem - if yes - restore backup
    9. An appointment of 'Genius' to an Apple Store, or select another authorized service provider.
  • The mouse loses the Bluetooth connection when left idle

    I'm suddenly having a problem where the bluetooth mouse that works off the preinstalled Toshiba bluetooth stack.
    loses the connection when left idle for a little while.

    This was not the case before.

    What could cause this?
    I just changed the batteries in the mouse, so it's not the question.
    Any ideas?

    It is the forum on Toshiba laptops.
    If you have a laptop from another manufacturer, then you should visit the website of the manufacturer of your laptop

    In any case, the stack of BT from Toshiba page is the most recent which is available on the market, so it should work on your laptop.

    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:
    1. turn off your laptop.
    2. unplug the power to your router.
    3. disconnect the power to your modem.
    4. wait at least 45 seconds.
    5 reconnect the modem and wait for it to come back online.
    6 plug in the router and wait for it to come back online.
    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.
    3. in the window that opens type "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" without the quotes and press ENTER.
    4 restart your PC and test.

    It can also help to reset the winsock catalog:
    1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
    2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
    3. in the window that opens type "netsh winsock reset" without the quotes, and then press ENTER.
    4 restart your PC and test.

    Reinstall the NIC drivers:
    1. download the drivers from here , but do not run them again.
    2. go to your Start menu/screen and type Device Manager.
    3. expand network adapters.
    4. right click on the wireless adapter and choose uninstall.
    5 install the drivers downloaded in step 1.
    6. restart your PC and test.

    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.

    Please let me know if this information helps you solve the problem by marking this message as 'accept as Solution', this will help others easily find the information they seek.  In addition, by clicking on the Thumbs up below is a great way to say thank you!

    Have a great day!

    This shit ROCKS forum! Thank you majorly to Ikester! The tips and guides me related were just the ticket... As I write this, my wife is on Facebook, and I'm here... no problems so far! First, he's even worked as in a week (talk about withdrawal symptoms)... So with my sincere thanks, this post is solved!

  • When I disconnect the monitor Samsung, laptop monitor loses the office.

    I use a laptop Toshiba Satellite L645-S4102.  I have been using an external Samsung monitor for a while.  I need to use the laptop for a presentation only.

    I can change to the screen of the laptop or use the Samsung monitor and the laptop monitor as long as my computer is connected to the Samsung monitor.

    But, when I disconnect the monitor Samsung, laptop monitor loses the shortcuts on the desktop and the taskbar and shows only the background.  I tried to restart the computer, but the same thing happens.  As soon as I reconnect the Samsung screen, everything happens very well again.  Ideas please.

    Start with the extra monitor connected and used.  Then go to your desktop and follow the instructions below:

    1. Click background, choose the resolution of the screen.
    2. In the graph at the top, click on your laptop screen (if you don't know who is who, click "Identify" and click the monitor displays on the screen of the laptop).
    3. Check the box "use as primary monitor" and then apply the change.

    The bar of tasks and other items still show on the main monitor, so this will ensure that your laptop screen is considered to be the main.

    If necessary (unlikely but it could happen), repeat these 3 steps again when the additional monitor is disconnected.
