WRT1900 AC restart, Intermittent, unstable, please help.

I'm done with this router. I spent $200 when this thing came out. It is and will always be the worst purchase I have ever made. I never buy another linksys product or recommend a. Right now, I have no money to upgrade to ANOTHER router. I have 150Mbps from comcast on a Motorola Surfboard SB6141. I did speedtests on my 5 GHz connection and ping 10ms and Comcast 170 Mbps. recently replaced all my shots of cable also. I had 2 friends above. They brought their PC and internet has slowed to a crawl. Tried to play a game, Ping went in time form a large 10ms on each computer to Ms 450. unstable and unusable. Internet has stopped working, rebooted router. I changed the firmware to that of another thread. I have disabled media prioritzation, I restarted. I tried to talk to a technician from linksys, then he went out and it wouldn't connect, I was ready to throw it out the window and I have it factory reset. NO CHANGE. Still unreliable, would not play a game with no one else on network 2 computers, both computers are on different bands. I moved the router to another location, tried optimal antenna of the formats and just ran out of things to do.

Does anyone know what I can do with my P.O.S. router? Its out of warranty, and I am running out of ideas. I'm willing to try anything to make it work. I have a 3-year squaretrade warranty, if this quite defective thing to consider is broken?

Any help is very appreciated.

Thank you

Switching on DDWRT help for version 1 of material? What should I do when I installed DDWRT and then it still does not work and my router, I added a non-standard software and my warranty with squaretrade may have disappeared. I wanted to just make sure that DDWRT would be a surefire way to fix it, and that there is a way back.

If this does not work I have linksys DEAMs it defective and maybe get something in return for trade sqare.

Rest assured that DD - WRT works perfectly on the WRT1900AC v1, I used it on my own since November 2015.  Compared to the stock F/W, it is day and night in terms of performance and stability.  There is a wealth of info on the forum link I posted above, as well as a lot of info on the installation and configuration of DD - WRT.

Also, remember that these routers have two partitions of BIOS, making them quite difficult to brick.  Even if the bricks, it is still possible to bring back to life with a serial cable.  The hardware design is actually very robust and resillient.

I recommend the latest version of Kong, again via the posted link above.

You must first downgrade your LinkSys F/W to v1.1.8. * before flashing the IMG file directly from the stock of LinkSys GUI Kong.  Do NOT attempt to Flash the BIN file, which is a common nooby error, as this is can be used to upgrade to DD - WRT once it has already been installed.

Kong also provides an BIN image to reinstall LinkSys stock F/W of DD - WRT, then Yes, there is a way back.

You should read this: https://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=287813

And finally, don't forget that whenever you Flash F/W to this router, you are ALWAYS flashing on the OTHER , never in one that you are currently started boot partition on, so in theory at least, you can always come back to where you started if something goes wrong.  In addition, NEVER in WiFi, ALWAYS flash via a wired connection.

  • BlackBerry smartphones restart problem... Please help

    can someone tell me please how to restart my curve 8520?

    I have app updates, but cannot enter into my world of app until I have to reboot the device.

    He told me to hold down the power button, but all that is to disable the fone.

    can someone please help me because on my screen saying that I've updated knowing that I can not update the icon thing makes me want to throw the phone on the wall

    Thank you!!!

    Well, that might restart the device for once and for all!

    Perform a simple reboot on the BlackBerry this way: with smart BlackBerry poweredphone, remove the battery for a minute and then reinsert the battery to restart. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most defects and errors of operating system, and you will lose any data on the device doing so.

    You can also press ALT + rightSHIFT + delete all three at the same time, to initiate a reboot.

    You will find thousands of messages here in the forum describing how this reboot is done.

    Good luck.

  • Unstable AE after rendering, have to start cold computer because the system becomes unstable. Help please!

    Hello world.

    I have a laptop Intel i7 Toshiba Qosmio with 12 GB of RAM, a 3 GB Nvidia graphics card.  Two 750 GB HARD drives.  Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium edition.

    I had to convert a video (in AE) of my camcorder Sony QuickTime then moka he could follow.  The file size was 12 GB.  I motion tracking with Mocha video 3000 frames have been followed.  I have completed my project and when I go to make it takes about 15 or more minutes to return, but after the rendering of the entire system is completely unstable and requires a cold start.  It makes the video fine, but the computer is unstable.

    I was looking at the use of the RAM then that rendered and he used only about 15% of the 9 GB allocated for AE.

    AE CS6 version 11.0.4

    Can someone help me with this?  I uninstalled AE and reinstalled and there are always the same.  I have a small project, no less important than a case and it preformed fine. No problems.

    Is the size of the files of great for AE?  Could the movement followed with Mocha be a factor in the stability of EI?

    No idea which continues, please help me.

    Thank you.

    I think I solved it.  I created the new exact replica of my project that makes the computer unstable.  I made it another 2 times, it takes 3 minutes and the computer is 100% stable.

    So I think that the old project was corrupt or something because the new double that works perfectly.

    So I call it answered.  Thanks for all help, much appreciated.

    Event Viewer reports

    1. normally, when an error occurs on your computer looking in Event Viewer should be your starting point to find a solution. More related system errors are recorded and get an exact copy of the relevant report is important. Unfortunately, is not easy to understand reports and most of the users computer need help with their interpretation. I have to say later interpretation.

    2 Event Viewer includes three main newspapers of Windows. Here's the Application, security, and system. For purposes of troubleshooting system is by far the most important.

    3. to access the system log, select Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, Event Viewer, in the list on the left of the window select Windows and the system logs. Place the cursor on the system, right click and select filter current log. Check the front of the error and click OK and see you only reports errors. Click the Date and time column header to sort. You may need to click a second time to see the last report above.

    4. a tip for posting copies of error reports! Run Event Viewer and double-click the error you want to copy. Select the Details tab and check the box in front of the XML view. Click the copy button to place a copy in the Clipboard and close Event Viewer. Now start your message and paste it into the body of the message. Make sure that it is the first dough right out of the event viewer.

    5. He cautioned against three types of reports, information, and reports errors. In most situations, it is the error reports that offer the best information but sometimes WARNING reports provide useful clues.

    6. all reports have stamps date and hour and when troubleshooting, it is important to focus on the latest reports. Reports of studies from the point when the computer is started, and then check if a similar report appeared in the previous session. If errors do not repeat investigation as to why they happen is wasted effort.

    7. in the individual reports the most important information is the event ID and Source such as these help when looking for help on the internet. The description is just as important and copy the exact text to use as search criteria greatly helps achieve better results when using Google. Not paraphrase descriptions when other people asking for help.

    tosser,

    Try the list (5) is hardly relevant here):

    The following is a general list of things, try when the question is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by problems with opening a file from external media. You tried/made some of them already; 1 and 2) are easier for temporary strangenesses and 3) and 4) specifically preferences might be corrupt); ((5) is a list in itself and 6) is the last resort.

    If possible / there is, you must record a current work first, of course.

    (1) close Illy and open again.

    (2) restart the computer (you can make up at least 5 times);

    (3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift during startup (easy, but irreversible);

    4) move the folder (follow the link with this name) with closed Illy (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you can find the file here:

    After updating my iPhone 6 (9.3.4) the WiFi signal becomes very low! I did everything, but the problem does not stop! I don't a not update my other devices & their very good WiFi signals. Please help me solve this terrible problem...

    Here's a tip for the user on the problems of Wi - Fi. Suggest from the top and bottom. Maybe one of them will help you.

    (1) restart you device.

    (2) resetting the network settings: settings > general > reset > reset network settings. Join the network again.

    (3) reboot router/Modem: unplug power for 2 minutes and reconnect. Update the Firmware on the router (support Web site of the manufacturer for a new FW check). Also try different bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and different bandwidths (recommended for 2.4 to 20 MHz bandwidth). Channels 1, 6 or 11 are recommended for 2.4 band.

    (4) change of Google DNS: settings > Wi - Fi > click the network, delete all the numbers under DNS and enter 8.8.8.8 or otherwise 8.8.4.4

    (5) disable the prioritization of device on the router if this feature is available. Also turn off all apps to VPN and retest the Wi - Fi.

    (6) determine if other wireless network devices work well (other iOS devices, Mac, PC).

    (7) try the device on another network, i.e., neighbors, the public coffee house, etc.

    (8) backup and restore the device using iTunes. Try to restore as New first and test it. If ok try to restore the backup (the backup may be corrupted).

    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201252

    (9) go to the Apple store for the evaluation of the material. The Wi - Fi chip or the antenna could be faulty.
