WRT160N & IE problems

I've had my WRT160N router installed for over a month now and you have a recurring problem for Internet Explore to connect to the internet.  I was not able to determine a consistent cause; Sometimes a ping query will show internet connectivity, other times not.  Sometimes simply to load another page or you restart the browser will work, sometimes I have to restart the router, that always does the trick.  It is very annoying, anyone have any ideas that would lead me to a solution to this?

WRT160N v2 router got some / similar problems with v2.0.02 build 011 Firmware, if you have WRT160N v2 router with firmware mentioned above, you should downgrade the firmware to v2.0.02 build 008 Firmware... See this

  • WRT160N lan problems

    Hello... I recently moved into a new House and I'm having issues setting up my router for LAN. I have the wireless works beautifully, I have reset the router and dhcp is enabled. NO lights are lighting of slots 1-2-3-4 on the router. is there a setting I'm missing? I don't want to mess up my wireless connection, now that he's running so good.

    Thanks in advance

    Try troubleshooting posted by oumou first, to narrow down the cause of the problem.

    This means that if your PC connected directly to the router is fine, there is something wrong with your wired home...

    and Yes, it's internet settings, type of connection, which is the news depends on your ISP, what type of internet connection, you get from your ISP, do not change the settings if your router can already spend on internet access to your devices.

  • WRT300N provides Wired internet only, no broadcasting wireless and inaccessible web utility

    If I type 192.168.1.1 I get the message "request time out", no matter what computer I try on (windows/linux)

    I have full internet access via ethernet cable, but the router wireless light does not illuminate

    I tried ping 192.168.1.1 and the request times out every time

    I tried to reset the router, now the button reset to 5, 30 seconds, unplug the router for long periods, etc., no changes occur.

    any ideas?

    Thanks for your reply, I have since returned the defective router on the warranty and got a wrt160n, so problem solved

  • Application of Router WRT160N problem loading with LELA

    Bought router WRT160N downloaded software. everything works fine with the router. but when I tried to open LELA shortcut on my desktop, I have nothing. LELA will open in the taskbar. I went to the executable files and tried to open it y fron and nothing. I went to the Vista Task Manager and looked at my running applications, and it shows an easylink icon is labled ALERT POPUP that is running. and also the Linksys Easylink Advisor running. When I finish the task for the alert popup. I can now open with the shortcut.

    hope I have not confused.

    There is something called ALERT POPUP running in background. preventing me from opening my shortcut LELA.

    Try this McKieus

    I had exactly the same problems that you described with technical support. I found this link in a post by Basiltoo on 12/15/2008. It worked for me. Previously, I had the x 86 machine error when loading the software upgrade. I have a 64 bit system. There are still a few problems with some of the options, but most of the time it works.  The link is http://update.linksys.com/autoupdate/

    I also uninstalled LELA however add remove programs and restarted before I installed the new version. On the new version, he has a place where it asks if you have a 64 bit system. If you choose the download you receive will be correct and you should not get the 'x 86' mistake.'

    He seems also to stop correctly in this new version.

    Good luck.

    It worked for me.

    To reset your router you have to press on and hold the reset button on the back of the router for 30 seconds... Release the reset button... Unplug the router power cable, wait 30 seconds and reconnect the cable power., now, you must make some changes on your router if you configure your router settings...

    On your router configuration page, change the size of AUTOMATIC MTU to manual and change the size of 1500 to 1350 and click on save settings...

    Now click on the tab 'Wireless' and below to change the settings as I mentioned in my previous post. Now, you can try to connect to your wireless network.

  • Problems with WRT160N and Xbox 360 - please help

    Hello

    I recently bought a WRT160N router and when I play games online (Halo 3 or Modern Warfare 2) it takes about 10 minutes to find a game then that in the Hall. I didn't put in the door or disconnected from my profile, there's just a lot of time. It says that my NAT type is open. I've isolated the problem is the router because if I plug in an ethernet cable from the 360 to the DSL modem I find games instantly. I examined the port forwarding and open ports on the 360 and specifically for modern warfare 2 and it was actually my NAT type go as strict, ironic. I have spent 5 hours trying to mess with this and can't seem to make it work right. If someone could please help me on the settings or have any other ideas that would be greatly appreciated.

    As your ISP is a provider DSL, most providers DSL has setup their modem in DHCP Mode, so your Modem acts like a router. So, right now, your Setup is NAT behind NAT. So if you try to open the Ports on your Linksys router it does not work as your Modem Hangs only ports.

    So the best way to work is to convert your Modem in Bridge Mode and it will solve all your problems.

  • WRT160N V3 games problems! need help!

    OK, here's our problem, I just moved about 6 weeks ago and have since purchased a wrt160n router, my brother and I can lose countless hours playing COD4 on our ps3 (2 on our network both wireless) we often have trouble connecting when playing @ simultaneously. He seems to get along with him immediately online, but when I log in game, I have to wait anywhere between 5 to 20 minutes, because it now says 'download settings', we thought it was a problem of the internet from comcast, but now I hear about port forwarding? I was power cycling think it was a bad internet connection and the strange thing is going online with the ps3 it gets first right line but the other must wait 5 to 20 minutes? someone has an idea? I can't find the help I need or if I can't find an article on this subject, it does not specify if the fix works for more than 1 PS3?

    Our facility:

    Cable modem

    Router WRT160n

    1 computer (wired connection)

    1 laptop (wireless)

    and 2 Playstation 3 (both wireless)

    You have to open the Ports to your PS3 on your router. If this isn't the case, then I think it is perhaps because of this, you have to deal with this problem.

    Open an Internet Explorer browser on your computer (desktop) wired page. In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press ENTER... Let the empty user name & password use admin lowercase...

    This settings are for your 1st PS3.

    On the Configuration tab, change MTU size in 1452 and click on save settings...

    Once you return to the game to the top page, click the Security tab and uncheck block anonymous Internet requests and click on save settings...

    Click on the tab "Games and Applications" and then click the sub-tab "Port Range Forwarding"...

    (1) on the first line in the box, type Application in ABC, in the start box, type 80 and type of box in 80, leave the Protocol as and under type 192.168.1.20 ip address and check the box to enable...

    (2) on the second line in the box, type Application in DEF, in the start box, type in 443 and the type of box in 443, leave the Protocol as and under type 192.168.1.20 ip address and check the box to enable...

    (3) on line 3 in box from Application to the IAD, in the start box, type type in 5223 and type of box in 5223, leave the Protocol as and under type 192.168.1.20 ip address and check the box to enable...

    (4) on the fourth line in Application area type in JKL, in the start box, type in 3478 and 3479 end box type, leave the Protocol as and under type 192.168.1.20 ip address and check the box to enable...

    (5) on the fifth line of type Application in MNO, in the start box, box type in 3658 and type of box in 3658, leave the Protocol as and under type 192.168.1.20 ip address and check the box to enable...

    (6) on the sixth row in the box, type Application in PQR, in the start box, type 10070 to 10080 end box type, leave the Protocol as and under type 192.168.1.20 ip address and check the enable box and click on save settings

    (7) now assign IP on the ip address of your PlayStation:-192.168.1.20, subnet mask:-255.255.255.0 default gateway:-192.168.1.1...

    (8) also assign addresses dns on the primary dns of PlayStation:-4.2.2.2... Secondary dns:-192.168.1.1

    (9) turn off your modem, router and PlayStation... Wait a minute...

    (10) connect the power supply to the modem first, wait another minute and plug the router power cable, wait another minute, and turn on the PlayStation and test...

    For you 2 PS3, follow this setting.

    When you connect to the router configuration page, click on 'Application and Gaming' and then click on the "DMZ" sub-tab below, click on 'Activate' and in the IP Source address, type the IP address: 192.168.1.50 and clik on save settings.

    Now you need to assign a static IP address on your 2nd PS3. 192.168.1.50 subnet mask IP address:-255.255.255.0 default gateway:-192.168.1.1... Primary dns:-4.2.2.2... Secondary dns:-192.168.1.1...

    Turn off your modem, router and PlayStation... Wait a minute...

    Now try to connect your PS3 to your wireless network and try to play this game and see how his work.

  • Laptop (HP ZV6000) and WRT160N plu connection problems

    I recently got a new HP Touchsmart 600 and set up with a Linksys WRT160Nv2 router. The Touchsmart works fine, no problem, and is so the Dell Latitude D630 I use for work.

    However, for some reason, I can't get on the internet through our other computer, which is an older HP Pavilion ZV6000.

    I implemented the Broadcom Wireless software that came with the computer and it says that it is "connected" to the router wireless... but when I open Internet Explorer, it says 'cannot connect to the Internet'... and immediately goes to work offline.

    I used to have the laptop HP connected to a Linksys WRT54GS wireless router and never had any problems (or, at least, nothing that I couldn't solve).

    Is there some kind of conflict between the WRT160N and the HP Mini PCI Broadcom 802. 11B / G wireless LAN Card?

    You have the static IP address on the HP laptop.

    Do the automatic IP address settings wireless network connection and see if you are able to access the Internet.

  • Problem with list of customers after 1.02.11 WRT160N wireless firmware update

    I have just updated the firmware on my WRT160N to 1.02.11

    When I go to wireless-> Wireless MAC Filter, click list of wireless clients, I get a blank screen for the most part, and then my Internet access to the router no longer works. for example, I can no longer connect to the router via a browser.

    The router continues to work for cable customers and wireless, but the router web access does not work.

    I need to display the wireless clients because I'm having intermittent problems with my new Ipad to connect.

    Someone saw what is wrong?

    You have already updated the firmware of the router.

    After upgrading the firmware on the router, it is recommended to reset and reconfigure the router.

    Hold down the button for 30 seconds rest.

  • Very strange problem with WRT160N

    For some reason, other devices (in this case, a laptop and Ipod) suddenly lost the ability to connect to the wireless router.

    They worked fine yesterday, but now they do not have.

    I tried to update the formware, I tried resetting the router a re-doing the settings, I tried power cycling the router, and none of it works.

    The laptop and Ipod can see the network but cannot connect to it. The laptop says the connection is strong, but it still fails to connect.

    I've had this router for almost four years and have never had this problem before, at least to that degree. Front, power cycling the router and/or re-start the laptop or PC still worked.

    What could be the problem?

    Try changing the channel of the router wireless... best channels is 9-6-3-1
