WRT54GS2... SERIOUS problems...

I had the misfortune to buy this router recently, to replace my WRT54GL dead.  It did not work properly on the first day.

Essentially it retains its connection and works steadily, until I have the audacity to attempt to use the internet, how it promptly crashes requiring a reboot.  I don't know if it's overheating or what, but he warms up, as I believe it should be, so I put it in reverse for the ill-conceived event is actually in contact with air instead of office.  This helped very slightly to decrease the frequency of unavoidable accidents, which leads me to believe that it is probably an overheating problem.  We have 2 computers, one of which is apparently 2 too for this router 4 ports.

I've updated the latest firmware, no dice.

I bought this router is because I was led to believe that Linksys actually makes decent products.  My WRT54GL was amazing.  He had some points of physical damage on the shell, one of the antenna was missing, and it worked solidly until our move into our new House because he killed for good.  I would have just had to buy a new one, but, foolishly, I didn't and ended up with this Turkey instead.

I lost the receipt for the router, otherwise I return it for a refund.   I have no choice, but to work with this or buy a new one, is there anyone out there who has overcome problems that apparently come standard with this router?

Well, as I said already, I took steps to make sure that this isn't overheating to the best of my ability (out of place a fan of box on the thing), and I updated the firmware.

I helped myself to this question, I managed to convince the Bank to resume the router and give me a store credit.  Not going not to bother with linksys, once again, I would use first the internet connection sharing.

  • Serious problems iMac (late 2012)

    I have an iMac (end of 2012), who has had the most serious problems lately. For about a month, he would often see the spinning beach-ball-of-death for even the simplest of actions. As of today, however, it has gotten worse about 1,000 times. Now, every time I turn on the computer, with nothing connected except for the mouse and keyboard, it starts up fine, and then, whenever I try to do something, the SBBOD appears and stays there for about two minutes before the simple action is completed. Just tonight (I'm typing this from my other computer), what was going on, and then the Finder menu bar has disappeared, replaced by a black bar. The next thing I knew, the screen went black. Fearing for the life of my computer, I pulled the plug. Everything is saved to a hard drive G, but I disconnected earlier today. I've not turned the computer back since. I used to have the famous "Mackeeper," installed, but I made sure to remove every vestige of it. I'm afraid that this iMac may be either raise a viral infection serious, or as the CPU itself is a failure. I have installed Avast, but I checked a few days there are viruses, and there is no infection. I have not recently installed anything that could provoke such a question. It is not protected by the Applecare more. Should I consider at the Apple Store in any case?

    Where should I go from here, now?

    Should I consider at the Apple Store in any case?

    Yes. You're certainly dealing with a disc or any other fault of hardware failure. See also below.

    "Avast" is the worst of the whole miserable lot of commercial products 'security' for the Mac. Not only it fails to protect you against any real danger, it can send data of a personal nature (e.g. historical web navigation and content e-mail messages) back to the developer without your knowledge, give false alarms, destabilize and slow down the computer, you expose a network attack and corrupt the network settings and permissions of files in your home folder. Removing it can not repair all the damage.

    Some versions of the product also inject advertising into web pages. In short, apart from the fine print of the license, Avast is not malware and is probably worse than any malware known now in circulation.

    Please back up all data and then remove Avast in accordance with the instructionsof the developer. Turn it back on. Never install a software "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" again.

    If you have tried to remove Avast by dragging an application to the trash, you need to reinstall, and then follow the link above.

  • M30X 118 serious problem

    Hello

    I would like to share with you a serious problem with my new M30X 118.
    The problem is that when the laptop is connected to the network through the power adapter and a USB device connector touches the plate of metal USB interface at the back, or in general any metal surface one the back of the laptop, then suddenly the computer turns off! (I guess it's some sort of short circuit).

    Concerning

    John

    Hello

    The effect you described probably is probably caused by an electrostatic discharge (ESD). This means that you must avoid touching the metal part of the USB connector with your fingers (especially when wearing clothes made of plastic). I found an interesting article on this issue.

    You can read on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_discharge

  • Cryptsvc.dll serious problem with Windows Update.

    Hello world

    (Vista Home Premium - 32-bit)
    I'm having a serious problem to Cryptographic Services which will affect my ability to update windows and use my PC. Since all April 24 Windows was not able to update and I noticed that my computer has been running extremely slow. Manager audit tasks revealed that svchost.exe ate about 50% of my CPU at all times.

    When I checked the services running in svchost.exe, I found that Cryptsvc.dll was eating my resources. I finished the process (svchost.exe) and my processor immediately returned to normal. I checked the wires all over the internet and while I see a lot of people have had problems with crytpsvc.dll I can't find someone who knows my specific problem.

    To start Windows Update, this svchost.exe also usually starts and causes the update of Windows hang saying something like "Download x updated. (Total 0Kbs, 0% complete.) and the progress bar continues to scroll, but nothing happens (I left this all night to test and it was the same thing when I woke up in the morning).

    The svchost.exe in question contains generally:
    CryptSvc
    Dnscache
    Tapisrv

    Check the Sysinternals Process Explorer process revealed that CryptSvc was eat the processing power. Also if I manually start this service via; Right click computer > manage > Services - my processor immedietly rises to 50% again.

    I ran many anti-spyware/virus controls, including Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool and they detected some small viruses ' but not managed to solve my problem. I tried to register the DLL in question, but I get the error:

    "" Cryptsvc.dll"module was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found. Make sure 'Cryptsvc.dll' is a .dll file or ocx valid and then try again. »

    What sounds horribly wrong to me.

    Unfortunately I can not format my PC because I don't have a copy of windows (my pc didn't come with one) otherwise it would have been my first step.

    If anyone could advise what newspapers you see to help diagnose it, I post them here (don't really know what to do more).

    Help would be appreciated, I'm getting sick of having to kill svchost every 20 minutes to keep my computer running.

  • Serious problem! Periodic drop in framerate in games because of Windows 7


    Hi all


    I'm having a serious problem after installation of Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit. Initially, I thought that it was due to external cooling fans not working not properly and so went out and bought really powerful Antec fans. But the question continues to prevail. I play all the games running at 60 fps with no problems, but after a few minutes, the framerate drops to 20 to 25 images per second, then after a few minutes, it goes back to 60 frames per second. It is very annoying and happens to all my games.

    I searched online for similar issues and saw that many people have this problem with Windows 7, looks like there is a caused overheating GPU. However, no one has a solution to install Vista and get rid of Windows 7.

    I use a laptop with 1 GB of Geforce 9800 m GTS. This problem really wear out my components of the laptop because of the heat and so I stopped playing games! Now there is a solution for this? Forward an answer soon for this serious problem!


    :( Fan issues appear to be limited to Windows 7 and related BIOS, so if it does not work under Vista, there is probably something else going on... I could be wrong on this issue, I just noticed most of the complaints pointing to an upgrade to Win7 as the cause.

    Check out post #27 here: http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?SLanguage=en-us&id=20090803062546406&board_id=3&model=G50Vt&page=3&count=27 . You can also try looking through this thread more, or see what Google has to say, but in the blink of an eye that seems to be the only success in the thread at least. Others is 'never had the problem', or had not found a solution.

    This user sent the computer in ASUS for repairs, and he came back very well. Other than to clean all the dust, which seems to be your only option.

    Good luck!

    PS You can also try an other BIOS using the Flash utility and the BIOS of your laptop available on ASUS support site, but I have not seen any report of success of this.

    I gave up trying to fix it and just called asus today and they told me to send since its still under warranty, I guess it's a hardware related issue and not the associated software =)

    There is simply no other way around it other than to send to repair... Thanks for your good help.

    I have a HP m8034n pc with a tuner Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1600 NTSC/ATSC Combo.  The pc came with Vista and Windows media center worked great just with the tv tuner.  I upgraded to Windows 7, December 2 and fail to put in place my tv with WMC tuner.  The recorded shows that I had before the upgrade to Windows 7 appear and play without problem in WMC. I used the hardware diagnostic tool that is installed on my pc to control the Tuner, and during the test, I can see fine TV stations.  This unit is compatible according to microsoft Windows 7.

    I don't know what happened, I left my PC off overnight and planned reformatting today. But I decided to give him another chance. Instead of saying the tuner was not available. He showed me a static snow image strong, as he was trying to use my Analogue tuner. In fact, it is supposed to use the composite input for my cable box. I re set my TV signals, and now everything works well again. Its strange because I reboot half a dozen times last night and it's never worked. Leaving the PC turned off for the night must have done the trick, I guess.
