  • The major version of the WRT1900AC firmware update

    Hey there,

    I've seen through the pages of my WRT1900AC that there is a significant firmare version update (link here). My router came with 1.1.8.something

    There is something to be informed during the upgrade to the new major version? I always like to be up-to-date and already bricked another router of mine while doing such update. Should what precautions I take to NOT have my new router in brick (because I love it so far)

    The help pages are not very specific about what "do not stop the thing while improving", which meant useful isn't a very good advice because it seems pretty obvious.

    Should I bother even upgrade? The changes really do not seem to touch me, but as I said, I just like being updated, especially with something as extremely important for me that my router.

    I agree the new Linksys support site doesn't make clear the distinction between hardware and Firmware.

    Yes, you can cause problems with your hardware, if the hardware version does not match the version of the firmware. There are the rare exceptions like the EA6900.

  • Brand new WRT1900AC restart daily

    I bought Linksys WRT1900AC (v1) after lengthy deliberations, reading the comments, etc. and to decide that it was the best option for me despite the high price. The main motivation of this has been poor capability wi - fi router provided by my ISP, it's a router single band not even capable of 802.11n which was disappointing because I'm getting a download 80MMbps download 20Mbps down my line.

    I cascade the router to my original router that my ISP also has authentication very rigorous process involving SEA etc. I placed the WRT1900AC Linksys on a static IP address of 192.168.0.254 and in the demilitarized zone of the ISP router. I disabled the ISP router wireless access point and there is no DHCP clashes. The Linksys router provides IP addresses in the range of 192.168.1.xxx.

    Initially, I had problems with WiFi speed, because I expect at least AC devices including the iPhone 6, to get very near the 80Mbps full download speed, but they seemed to be strangled at 25Mbps. I still have not really solved this problem, but have managed to get 50Mbps standing right next to the router. This is after talking to a representative from Linksys on chat support.

    I then started to get intermittent restarts, one every few hours, sometimes she would go too long together 24 hours. So I followed the advice to read here and reset of the router, reflashed the most up to date firmware, factory reset again and finally manually configured the router.

    I was up to 22 hours this morning and then all of a sudden it restart again. He twice again since then, I have currently amounts to this:

    Any advice? Or am I expected a new firmware and dealing with restarts it at the moment? My family is not too fond of restart, even if all devices connect very well, they are much less understand the technical aspects and just think, we have lost a large amount of money on a router that does not work!

    How about you try mode bridge on the WRT router if your use as wired AP. keep the same IP address for the router WRT, just set the bridge mode and then connect the side the WRT router to the router WAN main host. How Im running my WRT currently:

  • White light internet Wrt1900ac Charlotte

    Hello, I perform certain factory system reset on my router, and when I tried to complete the installation I am stuck on detect Internet step.

Not very tech savy so step by step would be great. Thank you

    If the ISP's modem has a built-in router, it is best to fill the modem. Having 2 routers on the same line can cause connection problems: link >http://www.practicallynetworked.com/networking/fixing_double_nat.htm and http://computer.howstuffworks.com/nat.htm if the modem cannot be filled then see if the modem has a DMZ option and enter the IP address of the router gets the modem and put it in the DMZ modems. Disable any WiFi modem from the ISP and filters such as firewalls and other. Also check the routers DHCP IP address may be in conflict with the ISP modem 192.168.1.1 IP address. Check to see if it's the same on the ISP's modem and if the modem cannot be filled, replace the 192.168.0.1 Linksys router ou.0.254.

    Preferred method of connecting with a modem of stand-alone ISP:
    ISP modem > router WRT1900AC<>connected devices.
     
    Method of connecting with a modem with integrated router which can be filled with ISP:
    ISP (bridged) modem > router WRT1900AC<>connected devices.
     
    Method of connecting with a modem with integrated router which cannot be cured of ISP:
    ISP modem (DMZ) > WRT1900ACs WAN ip address placed in modems ISP DMZ<>WRT router devices.

  • WRT1900AC and VOIP "netphone.

    Hi all

    looking for some advice on how to use my "netphone" with my WRT1900AC VOIP service?  After some googling, it seems that I have to use a third-party voip adapter?

    Anyone using such a facility already, any recommendations?

    Thanks, Lee

    I appreciate your help, but I don't really see what it has to do with iinet, they provide service netphone Yes but I'm trying to see how I can use this service with the wrt1900ac they have pretty well the bases covered when they say "a VoIP compatible modem.

    Where my query with which concerns the compatibility of the thewrt1900ac with a third partyvoip/adapter modem etc.

    "A modem compatible VoIP", they hear just a modem IP phone that offers a phone jack on the modem in that you can plug a regular phone incorporating.

    For the router that doesn't have built in IP telephony hardware, you will need to buy it separately. You should ask iinet which IP phone that they recommend. On the iinet website, they mention a "ATA" (don't ask me what that means) phone will work. This is why you must contact iinet support.

  • My 'friend' stole my phone! Looking for advice please...

    I lost my iPhone there are coming from about 4 weeks after my vacation.  I assumed that I had lost all the unpacking.  I went on icloud and tried to find my iphone, but it had extinguished.  Today, I got an email saying «sound was played on your iphone» "So I'll in icloud, find my iphone and the compass of boots, and there is the point and green on my friend house '". "  They renamed as their own phone, but all my contact information, phone numbers, pictures etc. are still there.   Funny it was, earlier, before I got this email, my friend actually asked me if I wanted to buy an iphone and showed me my own phone!  (didn't know that at the time it was my phone) Who needs enemies huh?  In any case, I just want my phone back, without being mean to my friend (who will then be an ex friend once I pick up my phone).  Do not call the police or something like that, don't want to let know them I know, don't want to erase phone or activate the lost mode.  Really confused what course of action to take. You'll feel so betrayed. I buy my own phone of this horrible person.  Can I change the password via icloud?  (yes they knew my password!).  Can I change the language of the phone and mess with them?  How they have enabled it anyway, I tried ringing but the call wouldn't happen, is that this means they put a new SIM card in, and my info stored in memory?  I tried Googling some of these issues, not vain, alas.  You'll feel so devoid of meaning.  Advice or answers very welcome...

    I suggest you to contact the local police and proceed from there. This isn't a 'friend', and I would put the unit lost Mode. They were willing to sell you the phone. How do have to go before you're ready to contact the police, or lock the phone?

  • Someone else has Apple Airplay jumping and drop outs when streaming music?  WiFi is not the problem, and there is nothing around the units of airtime to interference.  Impossible to listen to music.  Thanks for any advice.

    I've recently updated several broadcasts in my house from V1 to V2 in the hope of resolving a constant jumping and abandonment problem I always had when playing music with Airplay.  I have a unit of airtime plugged directly on my stereo receiver that feeds music throughout my house.  My WiFi connection is not the problem and there is nothing to cause interference.  Airplay modules are not more than 15 feet distance modem or range Extenders.  Someone else has this problem and, hopefully, a solution?   I'm tired of doing factory reset all the time.  Many thanks for any advice.

    I've recently updated several broadcasts in my house from V1 to V2 in the hope of resolving a constant jumping and abandonment problem I always had when playing music with Airplay.

    By "Airplays" what are you actually refers to... Base station airPort Express, Apple TV, or something else?

    ... and "V1 to V2" do you mean you replaced a 1st generation 802.11n AirPort Express with a 2nd generation?

    Airplay modules are not more than 15 feet distance modem or range Extenders.

    When steaming audio with AirPlay, the flow goes first to the device host to iTunes to the router Wi - Fi, this unit is connected to. From there, he will travel to the AirPlay "speaker". A president could be an AirPort Express, Apple TV or an AirPlay device ready another manufacturer. If you use line extensions, the flow must go through those as well... so there is potential bottlenecks between the host and the speaker. One of these could be the cause of the issue you found.

  • I'm getting "no episode does exist in your stream" advice?

    In submitting my podcast from my new squarespace site I get "no episode there in your stream" advice on that would be great!

    Here is the flow, what valid https://reconnectedhuman.squarespace.com/podcast?tag=podcast & format = rss

    It validates in FeedValidator because it contains no XML error. Unfortunately, it does not contain either of the episodes - you can see the coding in the Report FeedValidator (you can ignore the two minor errors it lists).

    Your diet links to web pages of your podcast to http://www.reconnectedhuman.com/podcast/ - the high episode shows only a media player when you click on 'More', but it does not play, and the download link does not work. and in all cases, none of the episodes have obtained in the diet. It's something you'll need to sort in Squarespace - I'm afraid I can't advise on that.
