• BEFSR41 connectivity problem

  I have an old router BEFSR41 V.2 that I pulled from the closet to use.  I can't have internet connectivity once I install it.  I ping the router at 192.168.1.1 but always no internet.  The router is dead?  Should I update the firmware?  I can't find links for this old router.

  I don't think that Linksys still has the firmware for older models of devices like the BEFSR41. I suggest you to reset and reconfigure the router according to the type of connection to your ISP. If you use a cable connection type, remember to clone the MAC address of the router during the configuration process. If you are using DSL with PPPoE, enter your PPPoE username and password on the router configuration page.

• With BEFSR41 VPN woes

  Recently, my employers (who must remain anonymous for reasons of my future employment :-)) 'modernized' their VPN.) The previous version was based on remote access to Microsoft - I think that this one is as well - but it's been well inside brand. After the upgrade, I can no longer connect VPN through my BEFSR41. All I can read the chimps trained on IT support is

  The following ports must be open on your ISP, router and firewall to create a VPN connection.

  L2TP: 1701 TPC Port
  IPSEC: The port UDP 4500 (NAT - T)
  Port UDP 500 (isakmp) ~.
  Protocol IP 50 (Encap Security Payload)
  Protocol IP 51 (Authentication Header)
  The IP 47 GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) Protocol

  Although the previous incarnations nothing would be changed I did conscientiously ensure that port forwarding has been enabled for these 3 appointed ports (and 1723 for pptp). No change. The 2.4 - complete default reset firmware update. No change. Put the laptop computer IP address in the DMZ. No change. Trace the connection via wireshark and it constantly does not receive the Change Cipher Spec and requests for recall that followed - but I don't see anything obviously wrong before that. Of course I can't be given the Protocol so I can't be sure that my reverse-engineering is correct. If I leave the linksys out of the loop and connect directly to the cable modem I get a link - and a family whining about no internet :-).

  You said: if I leave the linksys out of the loop and connect directly to the cable modem I get a link - and a family whining about no internet :-).

  Do you mean that you have no problems to connect to your virtual private network when you connect your laptop directly to the modem? If SO, make sure you give the static IP address on your laptop that is not in the range your Port Forwarding router DHCP...

• BEFSR41: having the devices getting my other router IP

  I have a wired linksys BEFSR41 running firmware 1.46 (having problems get a newer version upgrade, but that's another story).

  I have other devices to obtain the IP address of another router that acts as my DHCP (assignment of the IPs in the 192.168.15.X range).  The Linksys router is also get an IP address from the DHCP server, but the machines connected to the Linksys router are get the addresses in the range 192.168.1.x when I wish they were on the other (192.168.15.x).  I disabled DHCP on the Linksys and that does not seem to matter.

  I am doing a config IP on a PC connected to the Linksys and see an IP address in the range of 192.168.1.x but when I check the customer on the Linksys DHCP table there is no listed clients.

  No idea how I can get the PC on the Linksys to get IP addresses in my other router?  (looking for whatever the equivalent of "access point" is for a wired router)

  Hello

  Because DHCP is disabled on the BEFSR41, how you connect it to your main router? You can try to plug the BEFSR41 to the main router via a LAN to LAN connection. This means, among the routes numbered on your primary router goes to one of the numbered on your BEFSR41 port. Making the unused port WAN or internet. If the IP addresses on computers connected to the BEFSR41 still receives 192.168.1.xxx, try to ipconfig/release then ipconfig / renew on these computers.

• BEFSR41 v. 1 - do not get IP WAN, updated firmware to update

  I can get into the setup on the web.

  I can ping.

  ipconfig indicates that the LAN IP address is correct (192.168.1.1).

  All lights are light up properly.

  My internet connection works correctly (i.e. without the router).

  I've upgraded to the latest firmware (for this version of the router which is v.1, yes it's old).

  "But... under the tab"Status"in the setup, when I type"Release DHCP", then on DHCP renew," the WAN IP address is 0.0.0.0.  How can I force this thing to look for an IP address?

  Just can not know what does not work!

  Any ideas?  Thank you!!!

  (Mod Note: edited title)

  Assuming that you have a good ethernet cable between your BEFSR41 and router upstream (ADSL "modem" or "cable modem"), I guess the router upstream ISP (ADSL "modem" or "cable modem") is looking for a particular MAC address and is to remember your computer (since you've tried things wihtout the BEFSR41).  You have two choices.

  (1) turn off the router upstream (ADSL "modem" or "cable modem"), turn off the BEFSR41, wait a full minute, switch on the router upstream (ADSL "modem" or "cable modem"), let it resync to the line (takes a minute or two), then turn on the BEFSR41, see if it receives an IP address.

  If no, then try

  (2) to clone the MAC address of your computer on the WAN interface, repeat step 1.

• firmware is damaged on befsr41 ver 4.3

  Tried to upgrade the BEFSR41 firmware and it did not. Now I can not access the router at all. Fttp.exe I tried without success. It says "cannot find server". My router is a paper weight now?  Windows 7 64-bit. How can I fix the firmware if I can't access the router? The power light blinks all the time.  Thank you, seperic

  The router power light blinks, it seems that the router is brick. Try this link to unbrick the router and check if that helps.

  You can set any open DNS, if you want to give the static DNS. For example 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.3

• BEFSR41 slow internet connection

  I apologize in advance because I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I couldn't find an answer in the archives to solve my problem.

  I just upgraded to internet service Charter 20 Mbs I was already on the 5Mbs Charter.

  Before I upgraded my internet speed via speedtest.net are:

  Download ~ 5 Mb/s

  Download ~0.5 Mb/s

  After I improved my speed with the router connected to the modem are:

  Download ~ 8 Mb/S

  Download ~ 2 Mb/S

  If I bypass the router and connect my computer directly to the modem speed is:

  Download ~ 20. 5 Mb/s

  Download ~ 2 Mb/s

  The router and the Modem I use are:

  Router - v2 BEFSR41 - I installed the firmware to v 1.46.02 tonight - has not helped speed

  Do I need a new router?

  Thanks in advance

  The BEFSR41 v2 router WAN Port is Port RJ - 45 10Base, he can't handle a 20Mbps connection... You will need to buy a new router...

• Firmware - BEFSR41 V4.3 update error

  When trying to install my router BEFSR41 firmware version 2.00.4 V4.3 build 5 version 2.00.02, I have the following error and the firmware is not upgraded.

  Caveat! Upgrade file error model.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Best regards, Bruce

  The Firmware that you downloaded is good firmware for your router... Maybe something was wrong during the download of the Firmware... Re-download the Firmware... Click here and select v4.3 and download the firmware on your desktop... Also download the tftp.exe software... Once you have downloaded the two files, double-click tftp.exe and he gave 'server address ' 192.168.1.1, password "admin" and traveled to the location of pointed .bin firmware file and click upgrade... It should work... Reset the router for 30 seconds and unplug for 30 seconds again... Now re - configure your router...

• Linksys BEFSR41 V3 and HP printer 6500 has

  Hello

  I have a HP 6500 All In One Printer has in the network with a router BERSR41 V3. I use an Imac with this printing and scanning system. For some reason, I keep losing the printer when I try to scan? I put it to a static IP address and cannot ping, but can access the printer through the network with the HP utility. Did I miss something in the router configuration that requires him to keep losing the connection?

• BEFSR41. Run the wizzard of configuration to connect to Inet

  I bought a Linksys BEFSR41a a few days basck, since my old D-Link became a little a little reliable.

  1. connect inside and follow the steps described in the living part, guide to start, but could not connect to the Internet.

  2. check the network card with ipconfig-all the and he had acquired an ip address and everything seemed normal.

  3. check the router configuration and status via the web interface. It seemed as well, at least as far as I could tell (compared with my old D-Link settings).

  4 power everything, including the modem, router, switch and PCs and restarted.

  5. I tried runing the wizzard of configuration included on the disc that came with the router instead of folowing guide quick start.

  6 here, now I could connect to the Internet... for a while

  The problem I have now is that whenever I have turn off the modem + router, as I do every night, I have to run the wizzard of configuration to make it work again the next day. And no, leaving on is not an option! It is a real pain in the * beep * and I'm close to throwing away the new router. What did the wizzard to works and why is he not saved in the configuration of the router?

  I have a cable connection and my PC is running Win XP.  I hope someone can help

  Hi TheMOOSE and welcome to the forums!

  Since you have a cable connection, it is advisable that when you turn on your device, do it in the right order. It still works for me. It should be the first modem, then the router and your computer.

  There is no need to run the wizard to set up everytime, because the router is already set.

• Linksys BEFSR41 connection with modem router getting not real internet ip

  Hello, can someone help with this problem. I connected to a modem router linksys BEFSR41 router. But when I watched the status in linksys BEFSR41 router, it gives only an IP from the modem router and no real internet ip address.

  can someone give me an answer.

  Thanks in advance.

  Don't string two routers. Fill the modem/router or don't use the BEF as a router, but only as a simple switch (or replace it with a standard ethernet switch).

• Connect WRT160N wireless to the BEFSR41 wired

  Hello-

  I use the router BEFSR41 which is connected to my comcast modem and all PC, printer, computers cell phones work perfectly when you use additional ports.

  I want to know if its possible to add a wireless router, WRT160N, across to the top, so I can move and then another room with the laptop.

  I play internet games on my desk and do not want to move to the wireless, but use the laptop to other purposes of internet and sometimes need to use it in another room.

  I have read the posts here and it seems possible, I want to just make sure I get the correct connections. I have also read the messages that State no, do not.

  Are there easy instructions?

  Thanks for any help,

  CAT

  I think that from the beginning that my problem was trying to connect wireless to my desktop PC... and after an hour or so trying to reconfigure the son discovered is not wireless because at the end of the year I had to buy a new network card and wasn't capable wireless.

  I thought that since my office was the main link everything had to go through to the 'House' to work wireless connection.

  So the first time that I have not found a link on the desktop, we wire the PLACE directly to the computer laptop and charge the WRT software on the laptop. The problem, he had us were always wired to the router BE and this is the page of the Linksys who returned to the top. We try to change the LAN IP address and turned off DHCP, but of course when I am connected to the internet on the desktop, it was not to find the router.

  Of course during all this time, I was looking at this site and then went on the Comcast site, it just clicked and after several configurations more lead changes and trying to think about what I wanted to accomplish exactly, and how it "should" work... just went ahead as it was already set up and connected wireless to the BE and he was there.

  I also remember that when you reset the modem and the router... it takes 'time '. As at least 5 min, what seemed like 15 minutes at the same time, I tried all of this. My frustration level has not helped knowing that it "can" be done if I just follow the signs.

  So overall, my error when trying to set up my office as the main connection for the wireless and don't listen to not when my granddaughter told me that she 'had' upcoming wireless on the laptop.

  Thanks for your help and great advice. We have the wireless connected and followed your instructions on securing the router with the network name, encryption WPA2 and AES... and hope never to lose the piece of paper its written on.

• Configure BEFSR41 V.2.1. to use as switch with ADSL ZTE Modem in Bridged mode

  I found a thread of 2009 who has a link that could help me with this configuration, but the link does not work.

  I have a Linksys BEFSR41 V.2.1 and need to set it up, so I can use it as a switch with our ZTE 831 ADSL Modem, which is in bridged Mode.

  The IP address of the BEFSR41 changed to avoid a conflict with the address IP of Modem ZTE ADSL, which is 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.2.1.

  If the PC is connected directly to the ZTE ADSL Modem, I can access the Internet and I can access the Menu of Configuration of Modem ZTE.

  If the PC is directly connected to the Linksys BEFSR41, I can access the Menu of Configuration Linksys.

  If the PC is connected to the Linksys BEFSR41, and which is connected to the ZTE ADSL Modem, I can't access the Internet, and I cannot Ping the ZTE ADSL Modem.

  Please give me a URL that indicates how the Linksys BEFSR41 should be configured to use as a switch with my ADSL Modem from ZTE in bridged Mode.

  My belief is that after I have the Linksys set up, I then plug the ZTE ADSL modem in the Linksys unit and use it to DHCP.

  DRM for your time and help! Lanny

  1. I never told of any change on the Advanced Routing page.

  2 do not connect the internet port for ZTE with this kind of configuration. You cannot use the internet port.

  3. Once you set that you can use the remaining LAN for ethernet devices ports in your local network.

• Switch for BEFSR41?

  I use a BEFSR41 for a few years now and that you want to add an Apple TV, but I'm from ports. I'd be OK just get an additional switch to add additional ports? If so is there a recommnedation? Is there a limitation to the BEFSR41 using a switch where it might be wiser to get a router with more ports? If I go the way of the switch it just use one of my existing ports to connect?

  The router is version 4.1 and firmware 1.04.06

  Thank you.

  Any standard ethernet switch will do. There is no limitation. It makes no sense to get a router with more ports, unless you need a better router (for example, a faster internet connection). And even then, I wouldn't necessarily get a router with more ports. A switch is much more convenient because you can have some ports to the location of the router and some additional ports to the location of the switch reducing the total length of the cables needed.

  Connect one of the BEF LAN ports to the switch and that's it. So you have 'loose' two ports. In case you have one of the older models of the BEF who have an "uplink" port, do not forget that the uplink port and the port next to it are a shared port, that they connect internally on the same physical port. The uplink port is not an additional port.

  You should consider getting a gigabit ethernet switch. Although the BEF is not gigabit and your internet connection probably does not exceed the 100 Mbit/s, however, it may be worth it if you have multiple gigabit ethernet devices. Devices connected to the gigabit switch may be able to use the bandwidth increased for the transfer of files or similar. (The Apple TV doesn't have a gigabit port if...)
