Illicit · 03-17-2005, 05:48 PM

I bought a wrt54g and the stupud thing keeps disconnecting every 10 minutes !! wtf

(I already updated the firmware)

WarChild · 03-17-2005, 06:01 PM

I've had the exact same thing happen with 2 Linksys wireless routers, and had a third one die all together. Never again.

Illicit · 03-17-2005, 06:15 PM

did you ever find a wireless router that worked ? what sucks is I can use my neighbor's linksys with no problems, but the one in my house sucks

I have the same router. Worked without problems for almost a year now.

Unplug your cordless phone?

mrthumbs · 03-17-2005, 06:20 PM

Get a USRobotics wireless router.. i have two up and running for 5 months now and 0 problems so far.. rocksolid.. only downside: 4 ports only (rj45) and no uplink so you can to hook up max 4 machines with wire or go wireless..

pornguy · 03-17-2005, 06:21 PM

I have one as well, and have had a few times where it would loose the connetion off and on. But all in all, it has been great. I have a second one for back up. BUt most of the others out there suck worse. And the other option is to buy one from cisco for like 2k.

No shit mos tpeole don't realize thing like cordless phone that also run at 2.4 Ghtz can interfere with routers. That's the negative of unregulated wavelengths.

Fred Quimby · 03-17-2005, 06:48 PM

Is it pluged in?

SetTheWorldonFire · 03-17-2005, 06:50 PM

I have the same problem.

Somtimes I can't even get online for hours. I get real pissed and plug in the dam cat 5.

Jon2 · 03-17-2005, 06:52 PM

Upgrade to a better firmware...drop the default linksys bullshit...

Search google for firmware...There is a bunch of new ones since linksys released the sourcode...its fucken nice...You can have a webserver...sssh server and all this other shit...

Jon

Jace · 03-17-2005, 06:52 PM

i got 2 linksys and they were fucked up straight out of the box both times

i have a netgear now and it has not given me one bit of trouble

B40 · 03-17-2005, 06:54 PM

Upgrade firmware, change beacon interval from 100 to 50

jukeboxfrank · 03-17-2005, 07:06 PM

I own 4 linksys in three different lans without any problems.

Illicit · 03-17-2005, 08:36 PM

I only have Cordless phones

If thats the cause this fucking SUCKS

Although I work fine with my neighbor's linksys, so that cant be it

Sosa · 03-17-2005, 08:41 PM

I have had no probs with my Wireless router and it is a Linksys

liquidmoe · 03-17-2005, 08:54 PM

Linksys does suck major ass, we used netgear and had a few problems, then we switch over to Belkin and its been working quite well, check it out.

i've always stuck with netgear

austinth · 03-17-2005, 09:21 PM

i have that same router, and it is rock solid

Bosco4y2k3 · 03-17-2005, 09:22 PM

Sounds to me like you got a bad one. Just cause it's new doesen't mean it works!!!!
If the problem persists i'd return it and get another one.

Damian_Maxcash · 03-17-2005, 09:27 PM

Never had a problem with mine

Hard wire it and see if it still has problems... If not then it could be interferance, then you will have problems with all of them as as far as I know they all use the same 2.4 channel

It works fine hard wired. I'll bring it back to best buy and get another one

smack · 03-17-2005, 09:37 PM

i'm having the same problems with my lynksis. they're garbage. it's netgear for me from now on.

boner 2.0 · 03-17-2005, 09:39 PM

netgear instead of linksys?

do you own a bmw/mercedes/benz so i can trade you my ford pinto for it?

same here. i have one at home, one at the office ... work flawlessly

Bosco4y2k3 · 03-17-2005, 09:44 PM

Just a suggestion,
make sure you firewall and name your connection so your neighbors cant use it. This is becoming more of a problem as wifi cards are becoming more popular and are great to tap into wireless routers. I currently have 3 wireless connections my laptop picks up. Only 1 bothered to firewall and name his connection. The other two are wide open for anyone to use.

Linksys and DLink suck ass

Cisco owns Linksys... it would be nice if they moved some of the quality of their high end routers towards their more mass market products

webcrawler · 03-18-2005, 06:29 AM

Using the same router, works fine here.

onlyreal · 03-18-2005, 06:51 AM

change channel

have u tried this?

Project-Shadow · 03-18-2005, 07:10 AM

Have the exact same problem with my Belkin. Wireless tech sucks bollocks -_-''

I've had a D-Link for 2 years no problems

RawAlex · 03-18-2005, 08:57 AM

1 - change the channel
2 - if you have a cordless phone, relocate the wireless base to another location.
3 - download a copy of netstumbler, and use it to guage the network strength. YOu might have to re-orient the linksys box relative to the place you work.

Juicy, even without a uplink port, you can always cascade one router to another, you are NEVER restricted by how many wired connection you can have (although the DHCP will give up at 253)
