Problems connecting my desktop

Same problem for me. After 2 1/2 hours and 3 support analysts later, Linksys support managed to break my wireless connections in addition to my original problem with the wired connection.

I'm returning this thing to the store tomorrow.

I have the same problem. Bought the WRT160Nv2 a few days ago. Wired connection is dropping after not using the connection for some time. Wireless the same but it seems to be more stable.

Installed the latest firmware yesterday and it messed up the configuration web app in such way that I can't configure it anymore.

Third real issue is using VPN. I've checked all the three VPN pass through settings and are able to make one VPN connection. After some hours no VPN connection can be made. Two VPN connections at the same time is impossible anyways.

I will throw this router out of the window, it's basically **** considering all the forum posts I've read the last few days.

Linksys is of no help at all. I am having the same problem. I hope there is someone out there who can help.

Never mind.  Back to the same behavior.  I've got a D-LInk coming.

I hope this isn't premature, but I think I may have found an answer.  Try cloning your MAC address under:   Setup/MAC address clone/enable/clone my PC's MAC.
I really have no idea, but perhaps this kind of focuses connections on your particular machine. (????)  Anyway, seems to have fixed my problem for going on a couple days now.
Wireless connections seem unaffected, they work fine on both computers.

Same problem.  Connects wirelessly fine, but wired connection often doesn't work.  I've done resets and reboots, and it usually fixes it temporarily, but then back to the same thing. (brand new router)
I spent maybe a half hour on the phone to tech support in India, and she had me reset to defaults and then we changed some settings.  Reboot modem and router. (power unplug 20 seconds and back)
And it worked fine for several hours.  But then, after leaving computer for a while and returning, it was back to the same ol thing.
Perhaps I'll go sign up for linksys forums on their site.  But I'm close to taking it back and exchanging it for another brand.  Probably should have learned.  I previously had a wrt54g which was having some different but related problems, went to upgrade firmware and the upgrade failed.  Impossible to address router after that, even after hard resets.  Called tech support, but they wouldn't help me since warranty period was over --- w/o paying.
Frustrating.  Wireless is fine, I guess, but it's slightly slower and one would expect that the wired connection should work, if anything.
Is it possible it has something to do with ISP?  I don't know.
TIA for anyone's help on this problem I'm apparently not the only one experiencing.

Same exact problem here!

After 7+ hours on the phone with Linksys, they tell me that trying to use this with a DMA2100 media extender has problems. Of coursae they are selling this bundled package through Dell. They finally tell me that this router is 'incompatible' with DMA 2100 and say I should have bought WRT610N. Perhaps they should have made their package with these two?
They tell me that I must either buy this newer more expensive router or hard wire the WRT160N V2 to the DMA 2100. This morning I purchased a 50' ehternet cable cut a hole in my kitchen wall drill down to the basement snake the cable, cut hole in living room wall, drill up from basement, snake ethernet cable and make connection. Does this correct the problem? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!

Solution: Send this junk back to Dell and go with Apple

I am also using a desktop hardwired to a Linksys WRT160N V2 and get intermittent Internat access. Sometime refreshing the browser page after timing out cures the problem, but not always. When I connect to my cable modem, everything is fine, so I know its the router

I have the same problem. The laptop connects to the internet fine (wireless). The desktop gets no internet (hardwired).
