ok, so i have this Linksys WRT54G router. when im on the internet, sometimes the internet just randomly stops and then the only way to get it back up is to turn the router off then back on. My friend has the same router and the same problem. anyone have this problem too? anyone have a solution?
You could try upgrading the firmware for the router....but if you kill your router, it's not my fault =P
I already upgraded it...its actually doing ok now...but network brosing is so slow and when i try to play a rmvb file from another computer, it freezes real player...
grr i have the same router as you and have experienced that problem too, i have to turn the router off and restart my computer when that happens - sooo fustrating!!! but when i turn do turn the router on and off the internets fine and works really fast as it should
same router on one of my networks.....no issue here once latest firmware is added...as for slow network browsing....hmph...could be either one of ur systems is hoging bandwidth....hmph....network browsing is finicky..is this network browsing wired or wireless?
wireless network brosing...im using the WMP54G with Speedbooster...Normally i get a "Very Good: connection..with that..my realplayer freezes..I put some tin foil around the intenna which lowered the connection signal to "Low" and Very Low" but i get faster network broswing and my realplayer works fine..pretty ironic
wireless net browsing can easily get intereference from other device such as house phones or microwaves...reason being is that router runs on the 2.4ghz freq..anything else in ur place running on that freq will cause interference....
because its highly customizable and also..cisco is what the real network pros will use..and linksys is now owned by cicso..
hey i have this at work and i notice the same problem it turn out it was the wireless connection on the end user and not the router... maybe you should check the end user side
The linksys wireless wrt54g router have a reputation for acting strange at times. Most cases it is due to an unstable firmware.
actually the linksys wrt54g V5 is not really that stable, when u are downloading p2p stuff for over 5 days the router tend's to get hang. the best way is to flash ur router to a third party firmware example like dd-wrt or hyper-wrt for Linksys wrt54g ver 1 to 4 can go for hyper wrt http://www.thibor.co.uk/ as for linksys wrt54g ver 5 go for dd-wrt http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page but becarefull as wrong files will spiol ur router so flash with care
On the linksys you can go to the administratons page under QOS to adjust your port and service. One more thing you might try is dynamic routing. For DSL try not to run the ethernet cord next to any power wire and flourscent light plug in the same power outlet. Try to power off your modem and router once a week about 20 min on so to resync, power off meaning unplug the power adapter not just turning it off.
I have a WRT54GL. No idea how the factory firmware performs though because the first thing I did was DD-WRT it... But the DD-WRT has been very stable, and QoS is great! I've used a D-Link 524, biggest POS router I've have ever encountered.
