WRT160N: Cable Modem data light still flashes

I bought and connect my new WRT160N to my new 30Mbs Ultra Vidéotron high-speed Internet service.  Everything is good except that data on the Motorola Modem Videotron's light is still orange flashing even when all connected PCs are stop.  This does not happen when I remove the Linksys router connection and connect my PC to the modem.  Agents tested Videotron connection and say everything is good at their end and the problem is with the Linksys router V3.0.02.  Thank you in advance,

Most cable modems have a marked cable or data or D/Sled, which indicates the arrival of data from the cable network. Some users get scared that this LED flashes even when their PC is nothing or is turned off.  There is no need to worry: some data essential (DHCP and ARP protocols) is broadcast in wired network and happens to each cable modem if your PC needs or not. You worry that someone is trying to hack your PC simply because the data light blinks.

    On the different modems & routers lights quickly and constantly when the receiving and sending data, it is perhaps the reason for the State and blinking wlan. It shows the frequency of traffic between the internet and the computer that is provided by the tcp protocol.

  • Linksys Router WRT160N - Wireless does not connect to the cable modem

    I installed the Linksys WRT160n router to replace an existing G router. When installed the new wireless router works, but the router does not receive a connection (IP address - look under status) of the cable modem (so no internet). When I reconnect the old router and then connect the new router, I get any internet connection through two routers (so the old dishes router the IP address that accepts the new router).

    I have configured the router N new for

    "Automatic configuration - DHCP", no need for connection, IP address dynamic, etc (as required by ISP - Timewarner)

    I tried to renewal and release IP address by the router N when it is connected directly to the main switch (the switch to connect to the cable modem). In so doing, shouldn't that assign a new IP address to the router?

    I am allowed 3 IPs from the cable company (because of the switch) and I use all three with three different internet IP cameras to each address for home security system.

    Any suggestions on why the router is not connecting to the internet? Do I need to reboot physically everything on the network, including the cable modem?

    If I understand your post, you said that your ISP gives you 3 Internet IP addresses and you have 3 cameras that use one of these Internet IP addresses.  If this is correct, then that leaves no IP Internet address for your WRT160N use - so that would explain why your WRT160N cannot get an Internet connection.

    If I misread your post, and you have an Internet IP address available for the WRT160N, you might have a problem with your modem and two WRT160N tries to use the same 192.168.1.x subnet.  To check this, follow these steps:

    (1) Please indicate addresses that use your cameras (IE before you take the test below).  If the addresses do not begin with 192.168, then erase the last half of each address.

    (2) Please indicate your ISP

    (3) Please indicate the make and exact model of your modem (not the WRT160N) number.

    (4) Please do the following test:

    Put your entire network.  Disconnect the switch (including cameras) to the modem.  Using an ethernet cable, connect your modem directly to your computer.  (Do not use the WRT160N for this test).  Turn on the modem and the computer.  Make sure you have an active Internet connection, then go ahead with what follows: (even if your Internet connection does not work, include this and move forward.)

    Go to 'Start' > all programs > Accessories > command prompt.
    A black DOS window will appear. Type "ipconfig/all" (with no quotes), and press the Enter key.   Copy all results in your next post.  To make the copy, highlight the results, and then use the keys copy (Ctrl-c) and paste (Ctrl-v) keys.  If your "IP address" does not begin with 192.168, then for security reasons, delete the latter half of your IP address.

    First post - forgive me.

    I have a Dell PowerEdge 1950 of R3 with basket 4 x 2.5 "SAS/SATA connected to a PERC 6/i. 4 x 1 TB SATA WD red disks are mounted configured in a RAID10, and all worked happily for 6 months. A drive has failed, so we jumped out and jumped into a new. Rebuild starts automatically and completed in 208 minutes.

    Now all is well again, unless the reader identify / preparation for the distribution of light removal still flashes on the replaced disk. Table health is reported as optimal, all the disks are online, and there is nothing wrong in newspapers PERC.

    Is it just a firmware error which may disappear during the next reboot? (We cannot restart this machine right now... don't ask!) but it makes me nervous even if everything works well and the newspapers to report a successful reconstruction and optimal condition.

  • Network: 2 routers Apple broadcasting separate wireless networks; one (Xfinity/Comcast) cable modem

    Hello community!  Need help, I want to use two routers to establish two separate wireless networks on a cable modem connection.  I searched for my answer and see some other threads on this topic, but all are either a bit too technical for me, are incomplete on the answers to my questions - and all seem to be locked.  I have also searched YouTube and only see videos to extend a network with two routers - not my goal.  So here is a long, but a detailed post on what I need someone help with - thank you very much in advance if anyone can all small-not me-I hope it will be useful to others in the future.

    The program installation/hardware: I have internet Comcast/Xfinity that runs to a Motorola surfboard cable modem (SB6141).  I also have two routers apple - a Time Capsule from Apple AirPort (to end 2013) and a new (2016) AirPort Extreme.

    Purpose: This is what I need--I need two separate wireless networks.  Before going further, by using the guest account and 5 GHz of a single router isn't an option for me.  I need to have both wireless networks separate (one of each router), do not talk to each other, or allow access between the two - the only is that they share the Comcast internet gateway.

    My plan is to have the cable modem Surfboard connect to airport Time Capsule, which will then connect to AirPort Extreme (even if it could be reverse - no difference, except that the data that I show below comes from the time Capsule, which is currently connected to the modem cable).

    To read the previous discussions, it seems that the starting point would be: modem router #1 Ethernet WAN, then a router cable #1 LAN Ethernet to the Router #2.

    First issue of clarification - the connecting cable should go to the Ethernet WAN port on the Router #2 or a LAN Ethernet port?

    Now that the first easy question is the road, I need help to configure two routers connected to allow two separate networks.  A lot of discussions about the positions of static IP addresses, cascade, etc..  I need specific help with AirPort Utility on what to change on what router.  It seems obvious that the settings under the 'Internet' and 'Network' tabs are those who need to set - the 'wireless' tabs simply treats the name of the wireless network and settings - these, at least I can understand!

    I'll organise this tabbed - here go us.

    First of all, the "Internet" tab/window Airport utility. Here are the options:

    Connect using: Router #1 has currently DHCP (which I think is OK?) What should it be set to Router #2?

    This tab lists also the current address in IPv4, the (255.255.254.0) subnet mask and the router address.

    It has grayed out information in the boxes for the DNS servers; Name of domain and DNS IPv6 servers.  At the bottom of the window, there is an IPv6 Internet WAN address listed.

    If I click on the "Internet Options" button at the bottom of the window, it takes me to the 'Internet Options' window. Here, there are various IPv6 information - it seems that I can choose the configuration of IPv6 and the IPv6 mode using the drop down boxes/selections were also chosen.  There is also a checkbox 'Enable IPv6 connection sharing'. Are the current settings for these for Router #1: configure IPv6: automatically; IPv6 mode: Native; and check/yes to enable sharing of IPv6.

    Next up, the 'Network' tab utility AirPort/window.

    Here, there is a drop-down menu "Router Mode", a DHCP range listed, and the ability to add or remove reservations DHCP and Port settings.  The DHCP range listed for Router #1 is 10.0.1.2 to 10.0.1.200.  There is currently no reserves DHCP or specified Port settings.  Finally, there is a checkbox to the bottom to "Activate the access control" - it is not currently checked/enabled.

    If I click on the 'Network Options' button at the bottom of the window, it takes me to the "Networking Options" window Here I have areas of entry to specify the DHCP lease duration, can specify the DHCP IPv4 range, as well as part of the extended DHCP IPv4 comments.  There are checkboxes: enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol. Select the host by default (with input if selected text box); Enable the IGMP Snooping; Block incoming IPv6 connections; Allow the Teredo Tunnels; and allow inbound IPSec authentication.

    For this window, here is the current settings on the Router #1:

    DHCP lease is 1 day; Beach DHCP IPv6 is 10.1.2 to 200; Hosts IPv4 DHCP Range is 172.16.42.2 to 200.  The following check boxes are enabled/checked: enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol. Block incoming IPv6 connections; And allow inbound IPSec authentication.

    Who can help me? What parameters, if all do I need to change the #1 router?  How to set up router #2 to make a second wireless network?

    Purpose: This is what I need--I need two separate wireless networks.  Before going further, by using the guest account and 5 GHz of a single router isn't an option for me.  I need to have both wireless networks separate (one of each router), do not talk to each other, or allow access between the two - the only is that they share the Comcast internet gateway.

    What you really need is a combination router / Ethernet switches that s supports VLANdedicated. Given that Apple routers do not, at best, you can potentially get the results that you are looking for, but at a performance cost. In other words, you can have two separate WiFi networks where clients connected to a network can not 'see' those related to another and both routers will always provide access to the Internet through Comcast modem. Note: Arris / Motorola SB6141 isn't a gateway device. Instead, it's a simple modem. A gateway is a router modem combination.

    To do this, should do the following:

    • The Time Capsule (TC) would need to be directly connected to the modem using an Ethernet cable. This base station would remain in its default configuration of the router. In other words, the router Mode (in AirPort Utility) would establish: DHCP and NAT.
    • AirPort Extreme would be directly linked to TB by Ethernet. The cable must be connected to one of the LAN ports on the TC on the WAN port to the extreme. It must also be configured as a router. However, there are differences in the extreme:
      • Use a different name to the Wi - Fi network.
      • Use another range of IP DHCP address. By default, Apple base stations use IP addresses in the 10.0.x.x range. I suggest that you set the base station of the second on 192.168.x.x range.

    There is a major drawback with this configuration. The second base station will be in a State of "Double NAT". Although this "separating" the two networks on different subnets, this condition is not very effective and connected to this network of customers will get lower throughput performance. There is no way around it and it is not recommended.

    First of all, the "Internet" tab/window Airport utility. Here are the options:

    Connect using: Router #1 has currently DHCP (which I think is OK?) What should it be set to Router #2?

    The two should be: DHCP.

    This tab lists also the current address in IPv4, the (255.255.254.0) subnet mask and the router address.

    These leave it as what. The TC is information of IP address of the modem. The extreme, he'll get the TC.

    It has grayed out information in the boxes for the DNS servers; Name of domain and DNS IPv6 servers.  At the bottom of the window, there is an IPv6 Internet WAN address listed.

    These leave it as what.

    If I click on the "Internet Options" button at the bottom of the window, it takes me to the 'Internet Options' window. Here, there are various IPv6 information - it seems that I can choose the configuration of IPv6 and the IPv6 mode using the drop down boxes/selections were also chosen.  There is also a checkbox 'Enable IPv6 connection sharing'. Are the current settings for these for Router #1: configure IPv6: automatically; IPv6 mode: Native; and check/yes to enable sharing of IPv6.

    Unless your ISP provides your IPv6 service, change the IPv6 configuration option to: 'Link-local only' on two base stations.

    Here, there is a drop-down menu "Router Mode", a DHCP range listed, and the ability to add or remove reservations DHCP and Port settings.  The DHCP range listed for Router #1 is 10.0.1.2 to 10.0.1.200.  There is currently no reserves DHCP or specified Port settings.  Finally, there is a checkbox to the bottom to "Activate the access control" - it is not currently checked/enabled.

    Router mode should be: DHCP and NAT to two base stations. Ignore the DHCP reservations and Port settings for now. Let the current DHCP range for the TC. Change the DHCP range for extreme for: 192.168.1.2 a.200. At this point do not access control for each base station.

    Since you seem to need the step by step instructions or need help to understand the different terms networking, I highly recommend that you help you to become familiar with networking, specifically on Apple systems. I suggest you consider taking the e-Book to the next control: take control of your Wi - Fi Applehttps://www.takecontrolbooks.com/apple-wifi network

  • NETGEAR N300 Wi - Fi DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem Router (C3000) sees the backup HD Seagate but don't transfer

    V1.01.11 firmware, OS is Windows 10

    I bought the cable Modem Wifi Netgear N300. Except for the external hard drive Seagate (backup Seagate more 5 TB desktop external hard drive with 200 GB of Cloud Storage & Mobile Device backup USB 3.0 (STDT5000100)), all my devices connect to it without problem. However:

    1.) when I have the hood upwards the Seagate external hard drive, the genius of Netgear he sees, but says that the drive has 0 bytes available.

    (2.) that's why I can't back up by using the backup program WIndows 10 but

    (3.) I can "manually" drag files from my PC to the Seagate HD (the PC is connected to the modem router cable via wifi.)

    4.) when I connect the Seagate HD with a USB cable to the computer, the backup works.

    It's frustrating because I want to use the Seagate HD as a backup for some of my devices and I want the devices to send their data or the Netgear router.

    Can someone help me? It seems important that Netgear genius sees the HD Seagate but think it has no place.

  • Cable modem of CM600 default after large downloads

    Hi-

    I use a CM600 modem with a router WNDR-3700v4.

    Recently, the cable modem has started to behave very strangely after the download of large files (1 GB or more seem to be the trigger point). Once the download is complete, I started experiencing excessive latency and packet loss to external sites. Ping times jump around 20ms for 3000ms and package loss ranges from 0% to more than 50%. Restart the modem cable does not resolve the issue until I download another file of large size. Interestingly, I found that if I disconnect the cable modem LAN cable when it is defective, the modem still shows an activity and a LAN link on it. I expect the activity ceases when he is physically disconnected and link drop. I swapped the ethernet cable and it made no difference.

    If anyone of you thin people have ideas?

    Thank you very much!

    The modem has been replaced and the problem disappeared. Yay guaranteed.

  • Intermittently, Time Capsule does not connect to the cable Modem

    Capsule time bought a few weeks ago.  Barely implemented.  TC does not recognize the cable modem.  These forums to get help.  Tracking the specific set of sequence with long delays between the steps and the modem and the TC.  It worked for about a month.  Now about once a day the TC works but not internet wireless or ethernet through the CT.  If I unplug the TC and let it restart and initialize internet connection returns.  During the internet cuts I have ethernet and Wi - Fi at transport CANADA, printers, and drives on the network as well as the time Capsule backup drive and your data.  If I ever lose ethernet and Wi - Fi to TB.  In addition, the modem works fine.  If I cut the TC and to the cable modem ethernet connection I have access to the internet.

    Thank you.  All were huge last time assistance.

    If it's always the same modem... a SB6141 of Arris... There have been a number of reports of trouble with this product with Apple routers. There is no mention that in your first post a month ago, because we wanted to see if a reset of the good modem would get things works well for you.  I had the same experience as with the same exact modem you have.

    The SB6141 is a good product, and the time Capsule is as well. But for some users, these two products do not work as well together. If you call people to support for modem, they show sure to like the question time Capsule. If you call Apple, they will have a different view on things. The bottom line when you go to a support group... because it of always the other guy that you are having problems.

    At this point, the only real solution would be to decide if you want to try another brand and model of modem and keep the time Capsule, or keep the modem and try another brand of router and then connect the Capsule to the router.

    In my case, I replaced the SB6141 (I tried 3 different SB6141s previously because the ISP admitted having difficulties with this modem and some routers) with a 5341J Zoom, and did not have a single falling Internet connection since I installed the Zoom for more than a year. If your Internet service provider indicates that the Zoom is a product that is compatible with their service, you might want to try this modem.

    But unfortunately, there is no assurance that the "solution" that has worked for me will be the solution that suits you. Such is the nature of the beast, when you work with products from two different suppliers.

    Then try to connect to the router wireless (active DHCP), the printer LCD display starts to blink and a second, it displays B845D7DC.

    After that, the printer asks to reset and it restarts with wireless off.

    I have a cable modem with router wireless of my cable TV UPC provider called UPC Ubee EVW3226.

    I tried to connect the printer to the router using the WPS button and provide the password. In both cases, I have the same behavior.

    I have a dozen other wireless home devices that connect without problem to the router. But not the printer.

    Please let me know what other information will be good for you to solve the problem. Or, please provide a workaround solution.

    I found the solution:

    connect to your printer cable (you can use a direct eth between your computer and your printer cable), access the web interface and disable support IPv6 (let the IPv4 only verified): network > General > protocols > only IPv4 verified. Save and restart the printer.

    In 80% of cases, it will work on the wireless connection. For the other 20% when it does not work, try to assign a static IP address to your printer (network > Wireless > IPv4) in a second time. Take data from your router (IP, gateway, DNS).
