I've been having intermittent problems with the wireless access point on my Netgeat WGT624 v3 (wireless router).
It goes like this: everything's humming along nicely, both wireless and wired connections to the router are great, and then all the sudden, all traffic stops flowing across the wireless "port" on the router. Meaning, machines are still connected, the "signal level" still shows up strong, but no data is flowing. New machines can connect, but they won't pick up an address via DHCP. If they've got static addresses, they connect fine, but no data flows either to the router, or past the router (out to the internet).
All machines connected directly to the router via CAT5 still work fine. Everything in the router web admin tool looks fine, and it reports that the wireless is up and running, and it even shows devices connected wirelessly.
The only indication that there is a problem is that on the front of the router, the LED that shows wireless activity is blinking slowly (perhaps 1 flash per second?), and steadily. Not the fast, chaotic flashing you see typically see where there is real network activity.
Sometimes things will work fine for weeks, then we'll have 3 "breakdowns" in the same day. Other times it seems to happen almost every day. The problem never fixes itself, so I don't think it's intermittent interference.
The only thing that has ever been successful in fixing this problem is pulling the power to the router and plugging it back in. That has invariably fixed the problem once it comes back up, which probably takes about 30 seconds.
Again, it's a Netgear WGT624 v3. Firmware version is V1.0.128_1.0.1. There is a utility in the web admin tool to check for firmware upgrades, and it tells me that I have the latest version for my hardware.
I am running WPA. There are only 2 devices that regularly connect: an XP Pro laptop with an integrated 802.11g adapter (I believe it's an intel chipset), and a Netgear WGPS606 (Wireless bridge). The bridge connects 2 other devices, and XP Pro machine, an a Mandriva Linux machine.
The WGT624 has a few "extra" features such as a "range extender" and a bandwidth doubler that allows it to operate at 108mbps. Is it possible those are causing problems?
Bottom line: does anybody have any suggestions on how to prevent fix this? It's getting rather frustrating!
I am sorry to say I have no help for you but at least some solace knowing you are not the only one. I will throw this router out the window if it doesn't work by tonight.
I too have had this problem - but I use RoadRunner as my ISP. The problem is that these wireless routers do not have enough space for the number of MAC addresses broadcast on various cable provider's networks (RR uses a /21). This is causing an overflow and dropping packets and network connectivity
Hi. I don't mean to intrude on the issue, but I also have a problem with my WGT624v3 router: my computer can't even connect to it from either remote or LAN access; I preformed an "ipconfig /all" test in the command prompt, as well as an "arp -a" test, and both seem to say that, though the computer knows there is a device connected to the LAN port, the device doesn't register a MAC address for the computer to recognize it by, only it's IP address shows: "192.168.1.1". I tried setting the MAC address using "arp -s", but that didn't work. Could someone help me?
