Why has my wireless router randomly stopped working?
830532
mine did the same thing last week, I spent hours on the phone to BT somewhere in India, I am married to an Indian guy so no racist remarks from me....however, I couldn't understand a bloo** word he was saying, I told him all I could and thankfully was transferred for another half hour to an Indian speaking woman, no better, they gave me a number to call and said it was a problem with the equiptment and to contact whoever sold it to me,I told them it was BT which was why I was calling etc, etc, etc, so, they tested(they said) and told me to get a person out to look at my PC as it was this at fault not their wireless, etc, etc, etc,..luckily for me, the guy who fixes my PC is an honest chap, I called him and told him etc, and he said I should just disconnect all wires from my wireless thing and leave for half hour, reconnect and see if it works, and it did!! apparantly if you do this a signal will be searched for... try it, it saved me money and it saved me having to talk to impossible people again...why do we use BT?????

Try making sure that the cable is properly connected on both ends. If they are, make sure that your network adapter has all the newest drivers. If it does, make sure your network adapter is a 10/100 adapter and so is your router. If it is, contact Linksys.

your wireless network is not secured you have someone hijacking your bandwidth, at least that is what it sounds like to me.  You need to enable WEP encryption on your router/firewall, maybe change the admin user and password as well.  This should resolve the issue.  To do this you log into your firewall via a web browser using the router/firewall ip address as the url, this is usually set to a default ip address and user/pw which can be obtained from the manual.

There is no best one, however, your problems may be related to how you've set it up.\n\nThings to do:\n\nTurn off SSID broadcasting\nEnable MAC address filtering\nTurn on WEP or WPA encryption\nMake sure you're on a clear channel\n\nLastly, other devices, such as some cordless phones (those running on the 2.4ghz frequency) etc, can interfere with your wireless router.\n\nIf you've done all those things, and you still have problems, there may be issue's with that particular router, i.e., maybe it's a lemon.

i hve a linksys as well and have no trouble with wep.  in theory, enabling wep should only affect wireless traffic (not the net connection), so I would check to make sure you have the internet cat5 in the right plug then take it back and get a new router- if you're good at this stuff then configuring wep shouldnt do anything bad- assume it's bad hardware once and give it a go w/ another unit.

This reminds me of a very similar problem I had with the D-Link wireless router.  I tried reinstalling the drivers for the wireless router itself to no avail.  I finally wound up taking it back in buying a Linksys router.  The problem never was with my laptop computer.  It was always in the wireless router.

One possibility is that your computer, not the AP's, is at fault....\nTry another wireless adaptor, or even another computer...\n\nStrange as it may seem, try moving out from directly below the AP.... they're actually configured to radiate horizontally, it may well be there's a "dead-spot" directly above and below.  (This could be fixed by reorienting the router antenna(e) )

IP address. Your router may not providing DHCP service. Check it.

Check in the wireless networks list and see if you see any wireless networks.  Try refreshing the list.  If you still do not see anything on the list, try being in a different location.  It also may be that the wireless on your router is not turned on.  It usually is not turned on by default when you buy a router off the shelf.

There must be a source of interference or the distance is too long, most wireless routers have a maximum distance for usage. Check your equipment manual, if you don't have it search it in the manufacturer's web site. It is possible that your equipment has a failure.

your internet doesnt work because your network is not established\nmake sure channel, wep key, ssid are same on wireless adaptor and router,\ngo to router configuration page...\n1.see if it have access filter on,\n2.release and renew the ip address.\non your laptop, make sure it is using dhcp server\nif still not working you have to use a ethernet cable to connect laptop and router to do the above mentioned check on the router configuration.

This has nothing to do with your choice of browser. You are loosing your signal from your router. There are several reasons this can happen. If you just have poor signal all the time, check into relocating the wireless adapter or router to improve signal or add a high gain antenna. The other possibility is interference from another wireless device or microwave etc etc. Often this can be corrected by changing to a different channel on your router and wireless adapter. Also instead of rebooting try right clicking on the wireless connection ICON and click repair.

I can only suggest that you buy a better router.  \n\nNow by wireless do you mean there is no router in your house and it comes from a different source?  If so get a better wireless router.  \n\nIf you have one in your house and it receives the signal for you then try getting closer to your router.  If this does not work your router may need to be replaced.\n\n\nAre you talking about a cell phone?  If so try getting a cell phone signal booster.  Try the link below to get an idea of what they do. \n\nIf you need more help email me and I can help you.\n\ngood luck.

in wireless? well that's not something that is easily fixed. It's radio waves, so it all depends on whats between him and the router. There's not much you can do other then: 1. Plug in an external antenna (that requires some soddering) 2. Move closer to the router.\n\nIf it's wired, well then, get a new wire.

Check to be sure you have the correct drivers, that's the most likely cause. Just go to the manufacturer's website and they should have them. If that doesn't work, check to make sure that the network card is seated all the way in it's slot (if it is a card, and not on-board) and if *that* doesn't work it may be fried, and you'll need a new network card.

sometimes routers and modems "get stupid". Try unhooking the power and ethernet cables from the back of the modem and router if you have one. Wait 10-30 seconds then plug them back in. This is one way to RESET the modem and router. YOu might have to do this from time to time. Its nothing to worry about.

Restart everything in your network. That sometimes solves the issue.
