 Have a brand new linksys router wrt160n and when I hook it up to my 1 and 1/2 mg service it will work for a half a day then it quits and I have to go back to my hookup without the router. It has nothing to do with a printer.

I ma having the same problem. I have been using my router for months. I bought it in June (WRT160N). It was a lifesaver. This weekend, Thanksgiving, it stopped allowing me to connect to the internet. I don't understand what happened. If I bypass the router, I can connect to the internet directly however, I lose the wireless capabilities and the other computers in the house will not have access.

Help!!

after hooking up the router, i can only intermittently receive e mail and internet on both the pc and new laptop(both dell).  I keep getting the following error message:host pop_server.ca.rr.com could not be found.  error 11001, error# ox800cccod. I double checked printing of address, etc. and even took off the firewalls on both.  This is sooo frustrating!

I had the same connectivity issues.  I have 2- hardwired gateway desktops, a HP Laptop, a Compaq laptop (2 months new) both laptops are wireless.  I just bought the wireless n ultra range plus for the HP laptop.  Originally i installed LELA.  Had all the same problems, read the posts, uninstlled LELA, had the same connectivity problems again.  Friday I  reinstalled the router, didn't install LELA. Everything is hooked up, no problems yet.  We'll see if I have problems months from now, hope not. My modem is a little warm too. I found a .5 in stand to set the modem to get a little more air underneath where the vent hole are located.   

 

Forgot to mention: I don't think I am going to reinstall LELA until I hear some positive feedback on the program.

 

 

Later that night: still having connection problems, not as bad as before, but still shows page can't display screen until i repair connection to get new ip address.  Read BTB's fix, going to try it in the morning.  Sounds like its working for others, hope it works for me.

you can find the WPA-PSK TKIP on the router's set up page..

just do this following steps..

 

open internet explorer and type in on the address bar -- 192.168.1.1

then go to the WIRELESS tab then hit wireless security..

now make sure that the security mode is also in WPA and not WPA2 because you can find two of it..

check the encryption type if its TKIP, then depends on the router..

most often times they have different words such as Passphrase or WPA Key Shared..

but they are just the same..

if it has a character encrypted on it then just copy it..

if it doesnt, then you can type in characters minimum of 8, numbers or letters or both, and its case sensitive..

i am haveing the same problems **bleep** above but with a twist. i can not access the router from the web site unless i cycle the power on and off. then it will allow me to get to it. also all of my wired and wireless computers disconnect all the time for no reason. i have updated the firmware and tried most of these tricks. none have seemed to do anything. any ideas???when it works,it works great.

You may be stepping on IP addresses. Check that all your machines don't have a duplicate IP address. On a windows PC go to CMD prompt and type " ipconfig/all "

Look to be sure no two devices have the same IP addres.

 

SOmetimes the router gets confused and hands out the same ip address to two machines - then you have this problem.

 

To release the address try the following from the CMD prompt: "ipconfig /release" and then "ipconfig/renew" 

 

Good luck.

Kudos!
