||<>|| = Wireless Router Issues = There are some wireless routers known to have problems with Linux. This section contains workarounds. == Linksys RV016 == At some point after kernel 2.6.13 there was a change that causes this router not to function correctly under Linux. === Issue === When not connected through a firewall the system operates correctly. However when connected to a firewall local access works but internet connections begin and fail to continue past a certain point. In a given example, a wget fails after downloading exactly 5,463 bytes. === Solution === The workaround can be tested by opening a terminal and typing: {{{ echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling }}} To make the change permanent, open a terminal and type: {{{ gksudo /etc/sysctl.conf }}} Add the following line to the file {{{ net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling = 0 }}} More information is available [[http://www.drewb.com/blog/post/view/p/12/title/linksys_rv016_router__firewall__vpn__linux|here]] and [[http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/6/13/240|here]].
