Randomly getting 'Request timed out' when pinging wireless router

Solution 1:

Have you had a look at your ICMP?

Try this.

Start > Run > firewall.cpl >Advanced > Click "Settings" under ICMP

Only this should be selected. Allow incoming echo request

See if this helps out at all.

Edit

Another possible solution that i have read the firmware has issues. You may want to upgrade your firmware. But even better upgrade your firmware to DD-WRT

Instructions to do so are here. Linksys E900 Flash

The above is an option. You may get the best performance yet out of the router.

If you do not feel comfortable doing the above do some research.

You could also try this on the router as is.

Just login to the router should be 192.168.0.1 as you stated.

Find the page that has QOS settings and Disable WMM Support then save.

Solution 2:

I was algo getting random timeouts, and sometimes even "destination host unreachable" while pinging my router. Here's the 3 things I did to fix this (I don't know which one made the trick though):

1. In the router, changed the wireless channel from 1 to 11 because I detected interference from two other wifi networks.
2. In the computer, manually override the DNS server to use OpenDNS.

3. In my wireless driver setting I changed the following values:

   • 802.11n Channel Witdh from 20Mhz to Auto
   • Roaming Aggressiveness from 3.Medium to 5.Highest
