Every wireless device that is powered up requires that the router be reset (powered on/off) to allow a connection. This happens every time the laptop or pad hibernates or is re-started. How can I make sure the wireless devices re-connect with having to re-power the router every time. Using W7 on both desktop (ethernet connection) and laptop (wireless). Pad device is Android 2.1.

Go to settings and connection type and check maximum idle time is not highlighted! Sounds like it is timed to disconnect after a time limit from your description!

You need to reset the cisco E3000 router back to factory defaults; This will allow you to login to the router and set it up again as if it is being setup for the first time.

Most routers have a "reset" button usually requiring a pen or a paper clip to access and press the button. Usually holding this button down for about 30 seconds will reset the router to default settings.

Then you will need to use the instructions manual to setup the router again. This will allow you to set the wireless password again to gain access to the wireless connection again.

If you don't have the instruction manual, usually you can download it from the manufacturer's website for the respective router. In your case the Cisco E3000.

Hope this helps.

Wireless networks have become an increasingly popular way to access the Internet. Connecting to a wireless network allows you to browse the Internet without having to physically connect any cords to your computer.

Troubleshooting wireless connectivity can sometimes be confusing, because even if a wireless network is not able to bring you to any web pages, often your computer's wireless card will still connect to the wireless network that is being broadcast.

In other words, a wireless network will read "connected" even if it is not connected to the Internet.

Connect to a different wireless network. If there is an alternate wireless network within range of your computer that you legally are able to use (a free public Wi-Fi rather than your neighbor's wireless network, for instance), try connecting to it and browsing the Internet.

If the same issue occurs on the alternate wireless network, you may have an issue with your computer's wireless card or with your Internet browser.

If you are able to connect to the alternate network but still not able to connect to your own, the problem is most likely localized to the wireless network you use at home.

Reset all devices.

The great majority of Internet connection issues can be resolved by a simple reset of all the devices in your home network.

Locate the power cords of both your modem and your wireless router and unplug them (if you use a modem/router combination, simply unplug its power cord) for a full 30 seconds.

Plug them back in and restart your computer.

Try to connect to the Internet using your wireless network after your computer has booted back up.

If the connection still fails, some further troubleshooting is required.

Bypass your wireless router.

If your computer's wireless card is connecting to your wireless network of choice yet you are still not able to access any websites, there may be a connection issue on either your modem or router.

The easiest way to locate the problem is to temporarily eliminate the router from the network. Locate the Ethernet cable that connects your modem to your router and unplug it from the router.

Plug the cable directly into one of the Ethernet ports on your computer and reset the modem in the manner described above.

Now try your Internet connection again. If there is still no Internet access, the problem is most likely with your modem or your computer; contact the technical support department of your Internet service provider (ISP) for further assistance.

If the modem goes online directly connected, your router is causing the problem and may need to be reconfigured. Contact the router manufacturer for further assistance.

Hope this helps

Make sure the power setting does not allow the ethernet card to be shut off. Also look through the other settings on the ethernet card properties menu. Some of those affect the stability of the connection. You access the setting through device manager.

First unplug all devices from your router. There should be a small button (mine is depressed with the point of a pen) on your router that is used to reset the router. I have to reset mine from time to time. Hold the button down for two minutes or so to allow it time to reset. If that does not work then disconnect your modem for a few minutes to allow it to reset Then reconnect everything in the exact reverse order that you disconnected. I needed to contact my router manufacturer the first time for help in resetting it.

Open Device Manager. In the Device Manager window, click the plus (+ ) sign next to Network adapters to expand the selection. Under Network adapters , click to select the appropriate wireless LAN adapter. On the menu bar, click Action and then click Properties . In the Properties window, click the Power Management tab. On the Power Management tab, click to uncheck the box next to Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power . Some WLAN adapters have another power saving setting in addition to the one on the Power Management tab. Click the Advanced tab and try to locate a power saving setting. If it exists, disabled it. Click the OK button.

poor signal strenght, someone tampering with your connection if you are not using the sequre connection, try using the connection CD to setup the wireless properly or upgrade your wireless adapter

Your router is not properly configured. My guess is that only one wireless device is allowed to connect and whoever attempts to connect first wins although it can cause a conflict. Best bet is to log on to the router, on the wireless tab, change the allowance to at least 3 and make sure DHCP is enabled.

Your router my not be DCHP enabled or it might not be assigning the IP addresses either.

I would do a reset and start all over with your security settings and see if that works. Worst case scenario you could always turn security off when your parents or others are there.

ISP's have different requirements for connecting a router to their hardware. One required me to enter a static IP address, another requires acceptance of a dymanic IP address and a third uses dynamic IP addresses and requires a PPPoE logon from the router and a configuration change to their modem to switch it to a bridge, and a fourth I have read about require a reboot of their modem device to recognise changes in the MAC address (assigned to the network adapter) of the attached device (router). I am sure these are not all the variations possible, Requirements for router connections specifically the WAN side of the router are specific to your ISP. Often in their help or support areas they either have FAQ's or help pages to explain the requirements or an online technician available through chat who can tell you what is required. Often however it is up to you to be able to perform then necessary configuration tasks (especially on you hardware) to make this happen. I may be able to provide assistance of you identify you internet provider including local provider companies and geographic location (city / State) in some cases to determine their policies and requirements for attaching routers to their equipment.

Once you determine this connect the router and get a wired connection to work assuming the router has ethernet ports.

Then test an unencrypted wireless connection

When that works consider the following:
