Gateway Ping: Anyone else have this problem?
576419
Success!! After reading all three forums google found for me and trying out a few ideas, I finally got the thing to work. I own the 1600, am using a Motorola modem, and am connecting via a router (no wireless). I tried all DNS settings (both manual and auto), but was getting hung up on the gateway ping setting. So, here's what worked for me...... I unplugged the power to the modem, unplugged the ethernet cable to the 1600, turned off the power to the 1600. Then, (and I think the order you do this might have a lot to do with it but not sure if I'm recalling this correctly so play around with combos) I turned the 1600 back on and did a reset (hold down the FF button until the LED flashes 'reset'. Now connect the modem to power and then connect ethernet cable from modem to 1600. I was immediately asked if I wanted to upgrade firmware and even though someone else had a bad experience with that, I decided I had nothing to lose so I agreed. Updating takes about 10-15 minutes. After that the 1600 resets itself and --- somehow--- it worked. Shame on Samsung for putting so many customers thru this mess. I won't recommend this 1600 to anyone, perhaps the wireless is better but the customer service must be awful for so many people to rely on forums. Normally I'd call Samsung but it was after hours so I went to the forums and now I hopefully giving back. Good luck!!

Could be a bandwidth problem. If N router is also adjustable to B or G, it may be in the B setting. Another thing to check is if you are getting a direct line of site signal or are you getting a bounced signal. With a bounced signal, the signal strength can show good, but data transfer will be pretty slow.Good Luck!!!

No problems here. I would definitely contact customer service on that one, though. Gateway has been reasonably helpful whenever I've needed help. The link for Gateway's online chat tech support is: http://support.gateway.com/support/contact/chat.shtml

I had a similar problem when I installed Verizon FiOS recently. Try changing the speed of the internet connection and if the pages open, then the problem is the router. To do this: Double-click on the Local Area Connection icon that shows you are connected to the internet, which might be in the lower right of your screen. Then click Properties. In Properties window click CONFIGURE button. Click the ADVANCED tab, select LINK SPEED

You don't provide much info, but try connecting directly with ethernet to your network and see if that works. Is is just wireless problem? If so, and direct connect works, reset wireless settings, or maybe reset camera completely and setup again. If it won't work with direct connect, reset camera and see if your router/gateway can see it.

I have had mine for about 8 months and have not had any problems, check your router settings and also if it continues you should call the Asus help line.

I have the same issue with my Gateway PC touch screen using a Microsoft wireless mouse. If I clean the monitor screen with a micro fiber cloth it stops. I don't know if it is static or what. I also disconnected the touch screen since i never use it anyway.

My router started doing the same thing - random signal drops for a short period, but enough to lose printer and scanner connections. Suggest you call their 800# - sorry don't have it on me - you should have received a welcome email from Mediabridge with the #. They'll arrange for you to get a replacement unit. They stand behind their product - good people. That said, if my next unit has the same issues we'll be having a money-back conversation! Good luck.

Hi Kevin. Can you describe this problem that you encounter with your router? Also include the troubleshooting steps that you did, or if you've tried calling our support team, or if you've have browsed through our support site/knowledge-base for troubleshooting info. Thanks.

Just started having this problem too, multiple times per day. Had internet tech come out - he said it's not the cable modem or internet connection, so it must be the router or the yellow cord that connects the router to the modem. He said the cord was wrong anyway - it was for a DSL, so he replaced it. Not sure if that will fix the problem though. I'd hate to have to buy a new router.

I have a cable connection and an ancient wireless-G router. I haven't experienced any connectivity problems. My only problem so far is getting used to WIN 8 (I'm almost 66 and getting set in my ways :-D).

I had a similar issue and contacted my ISP. The rep tested the signal strength and told me it was low because I had one of their older cable modems. He upgraded it at no charge and I haven't had any problems since. My cable company is notorious for always upgrading their hardware, but only new customers get it until you complain. Hope this helps.

It doesn't work for me pairs of 'chtruser/charter' and 'admin/password' although I reset the modem. The gateway appears as 'Comcast Business Gateway'.

I have a dual band router and it still interferes. I think there may be a way to fix this but I don't know how.
