Linksys wireless router dropping inner network traffic?

Q. I have a linksys E3000 router and usually it works fine, I am able to access the internet from all of the computers and am able to ping each computer connected to the network. Every so often however it drops all inner network traffic so I cant communicate between PCs. I can still reach the router and internet but I cant ping any of the other computers on the network. This causes my shared printer to go down (as none of the other computers can reach the desktop that is sharing it) and it also prevents my windows vista computer from identifying the network if they are connected after the network starts dropping traffic. To get the network working properly again I have to turn off the router and then turn it back on to reset its operations. What is causing this problem and how can I fix it?

A. When was the last time you did a firmware upgrade? I have an E4200 and just did one, and wow...it's working much more smoothly now.

Log onto your router and look at the upper right corner for the Firmware version number.

Go to: Administration > Firmware Upgrade and click on the firmware upgrade link. You'll need the version number of your router, which should be on the bottom and see if there's a newer upgrade than the one you have.


How come I cant connect a Cisco Linksys E3000 to xbox live without constant lag?
Q. Here are my Router Details;

Model name: Linksys E3000
Model number: E3000
Serial number: CVQ01KB09514
Firmware version: 1.0.04 build 6
Operating system: Windows 7
Software version: 1.3.11006.1
Connection type (WAN): DHCP
IP address (LAN): 192.168.0.1
IP address (WAN): 192.168.1.64
Computer IP address: 192.168.0.109

Okay, so I was trying to figure out how to connect my xbox to my router without constant lag for me and my teammates. I saw this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lg7Ez-4yccM but instead of editing the port range forwarding I edited the Single port forwarding. I had 4 bars on xbl for about 3 hours. Then BAM it strangely went back down to 1 or 2 bars. My NAT is open by the way. I can't believe this, this is like a $200 router! Please help me fix this.

A. Um yeah dis is the grul that u answerd a question for well shut tha fukk up dont answer my questions if ur going to be with ur additude u ugly bitchhh


Linksys e3000/xbox 360 ?
Q. Ok so I bought the linksys e3000 thinking it would solve my lag on my xbox. But it's even worse now. I play a lot of call of duty and I'm always two bar, regardless of the host. I'm a noob at networking so any info would be great.

Additional info. My ISP is qwest and I have the 40 mpbs plan.

A. First of all, if you can do a wired connection, do that. Wired will be faster, more consistent and stable.

Either way, follow Microsoft's instructions to set up the router's NAT to "Open". The article walks you through it quite nicely:
http://support.xbox.com/en-us/pages/xbox-360/troubleshoot/kb/error-your-nat-type-strict.aspx?kbid=979000

Personally, I set up a DMZ on my router for my Xbox 360. Have no issues whatsoever. The article tells you how to that as well, if you want to.

If you're going wireless, make sure the signal has the cleanest path available. This means going through walls and floors at straight through angles and as little "junk" in between the devices as possible. If you have concrete, refridgerators, steel beams, etc. that degrades the signal considerably.

Also, make sure the firmware for both the router and the DSL modem are up to date. You'd be amazed at how many issues can be solved by getting the most recent firmware. And, make sure that the Qwest modem isn't part of the problem. Some of the older ones are not good.


Which router to use; Linksys WRT400N or Linksys E3000?
Q. I'm currently using the WRT400N router. A friend gave me the E3000 awhile back; I want to use one and sell the other. We have a desktop and two laptops that are connected wireless plus we share a printer and also have other wireless devices (phones, ps3, tv) connected at times. The only thing hard wired is a blu-ray player. Which one should I keep?

A. I think you can use E3000 router. Both the routers are simultaneous Dual-band routers.
This router has Guest network access also.
You can let your friends to access Internet without connecting to your main network.

But make sure that your router is using latest firmware.
Upgrade the firmware on E3000.
After upgrading the firmware, reset the router and reconfigure it.
In order to use Guest network, you will need to install this router using Cisco connect software.
