Linksys WRT310N Locking up

larrycturner · 03-23-2009, 08:36 PM

I have 3 lan connection and up to 3 wireless connection running on this router. Some times the router locks up and all computer lose internet connections. The only way I have been able to resolve the problem is by removeing the power from the router and restoreing the power again. This resets the router and it starts working again. This sometimes happens two or three times a night. I am not sure what is causing the problem. My isp is comcast and I have tried resetting the modem first to see if it was the problem but did not reslove the problem.

Some things you can try here.

For wireless connections, change the channel on the router, I like channels 1, 6, and 11 in the US.
For wireless connections, try moving either the wireless router/AP or the wireless computer. Even a couple of feet will sometimes make a big difference.
Update the firmware to the latest version available on the manufacturer's site.
Reset the router to factory defaults and reconfigure.

Many times these measures will resolve a lot of intermittent issues.

I went to linksys to up date the fimware and found a blog there about heat problems with the wrt310n router. I turned my router up on its side and have had only one dropout sence then. Thanks for your help.
