E4200 - PPPoE

last week, I looked into a new router, and the E4200 is bang on perfect really, except for PPPoA connection.

I did a lot of research and I came across one post mentioned that I can choose between PPPoA and PPPoE for my type of connection, and after a quick test, it seems true. my ISP says it must be of type PPPoA and PPPoE works really well!

My question is, will the E4200 under PPPoE work on my ADSL line, as is currently my Netgear DG834g?

Maybe the cable PPPoE is different then DSL PPPoE.

the reason I ask, my netgear is true modem router ADSL (RJ-11 wan), the E4200 is classified as a cable (RJ-45 wan) router

Thanks for any info

The E4200 is an ethernet router. It has an ethernet connector. Only, it connects to ethernet devices. This means that you still need a modem to connect to your Internet access provider (unless your ISP provides you with a direct ethernet connection in your House).

If you have a DSL, you need a DSL modem.
If you have an internet cable you need of a cable modem.

Your Netgear has a built-in ADSL modem.

The E4200 has no modem. Everywhere where you want to connect to you will need a modem to connect to the ISP.

If you want to connect the E4200 one ADSL line, you will need a DSL modem (or you can probably use your Netgear to function as a simple ADSL modem).

The modem is the liaison to the ISP. This Protocol is necessary to speak again through this link depends on the ISP. PPPoE is more common for ADSL. More common for cable internet is Ethernet.

PPPoA is unfortunately not supported on routers Linksys Ethernet as the E4200. Linksys only supports PPPoA Protocol in their ADSL devices, i.e. routers with built-in as your Netgear modem.

If your service provider supports PPPoE the E4200 allows you to connect to your ISP through a DSL modem.

  • E4200 closed NAT Xbox

    Hi, I tried to get NAT open on my xbox for months. I followed several guides and tutorials (portfoward.com, youtube.com, this site), but no matter what I do, I can't get an open NAT.

    When I directly connect my modem, I get an open NAT, it's just this router.

    Here's what I did. I have NAT enabled under advanced routing, UPnP is enabled, I have passed, single-port range of ports, and triggered port: 3074, 88, 1863 and 53. In every possible combination/solo. I tried DMZ my router, but it don't not gave me results. Any help would be greatly appreicated!

    Follow these instructions to put your modem in Bridge mode.

    https://Windstream.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/A_ID/467/~/bridging-Gigaset%2Fsagem-4300-modem

    Then reset factory default E4200 and follow these instructions to configure your E4200:

    http://www6.nohold.NET/Cisco2/UKP.aspx?VW=1&articleid=3687

    You will probably need to manually set your mtu to 1492.  You will also need to know the username and password of your DSL as the E4200 account will make the PPPoe.

    Optional:

    Simple port forwarding.  88 UDP and TCP/UDP (the two) 3074 you can even not need port forwarding if UPnP works for you.

    Don't mess with port 80 and port 53 or you will have problems of the internet.

  • Configuration for E4200 suggestions

    I just bought a refurbed E4200 and run the configuration wizard.  It works fine but I know there are always better configurations and settings.

    I'm out of the static IP for my devices, but don't know enough about this router beyond that.

    I have an XBOX with XBOX LIVE, PS3 PlayStation Network, but also a gaming PC.  They are all wired.

    Wireless, we have a few desktop computers and laptops.

    My previous router was a D - Link DGL 4500 and it was a great router, but has not had the MIMO or punch wireless that it is.  I really like this E4200.  Anyway, the DGL4500 forum was the best stickies, I have ever seen regarding the configuration for the games.  Does anyone know of another forum that may have a similar one sticky for configuration or can someone suggest what works for them?

    "Tweaks" are generally to solve gambling problems. I don't really think tweaking everything that would make a real difference for you. Just don't use Qos on the router again because it does not correctly detect the speed upload and Linksys leans on this.

    If you have a DSL modem, then put it in Bridge mode and use the PPPoE rather than DHCP in the router Web page. If you have cable or fiber then I would think UPnP would be the only thing needed to enjoy the game smoothly.

    If you are having problems then that is when port forwarding/triggering, dmz, etc. come into play. Another that I have not really seen all the articles on how to optimize the gameplay. Having enough bandwidth in combination with low jitter and latency is what counts. Maybe when they solve Qos problem, then you can try it if you have problems of upstream bandwidth.

    Also make sure you have the latest firmware. Here (v1.0.02). I was checking the Dlink forums and all they did was open (done automatically UPnP) ports and prioritize the traffic (Qos). But as I said, do not use until Linksys Qos solves the problem because it will considerably cut down your download speed.

  • Time Capsule gen more recent problems PPPoE

    Hi, I have problems with the PPPoE connection in last TC with 7.7.7 firmware on it. When I put my dsl bridge modem and use the pppoe client in TC he just can't get IP address. I need reboot/update of TC for like 10 times or more to make it work. When I put my dsl router mode and I use TC only as DHCP server it works perfectly. What is the problem? Should I get RMA?

    I discovered, when I enter my details PPPoE client PPPoE TC and I put any name service, that I can not get the Internet to work, when I erase this service name I get all green lights and BAM, my internet connection works. But now is real problem, when I want to change something, for example DHCP reservations or anything else. If I click on update and the Service name field is empty so I can't have a internet connection. I need to re - enter any name service, and then the update, and then clear the name of the service for the empty field, then the work of internet connection. So I need to restart TC 3 times if I want to get internet connection.

    Think it's a bug in the firmware a little? I had this problem on 7.7.3 firmware also Pls help

  • Pavilion dv7. Intel Centrino Wireless-N 6150; Cisco E4200 router = No Wireless N connectivity

    Hello everyone, I need big answers and great help. I recently bought a HP Pavilion laptop dv7, who has a card intel centrino wireless-n 6150 installed. My router is a Cisco E4200 5 GHz wireless router. The pity is that the laptop (dv7) does not recognize my Wireless N (not even standing next to the router). Does anyone have any idea or advice on how to make this work?

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Intel Centrino Wireless - N 6150 is a single band card (this card is the product of WiFi only single band 802.11bgn in the Intel Centrino Wireless 6000 series).

    Connect to the router, then activate the 2.4 GHz network (5 GHz network can be defined as being disabled).

    When you do this your wireless card should find network.

    I do not think that it is possible unless you download the firmware of part 3. I could be wrong, but I think that this could be the case here.

    OK, try this. Open the Control Panel and select Internet Options > connections . Make sure your PPPoE connection is highlighted and always set the default connection is checked. This assumes that your PPPoE connection is your default value.

  • PPPoE with WRT400N problems

    I am replacing an old Netgear MR314 with Linksys wrt400n. I have an old Alcatel DSL modem ('speed touch Home'). When I daisy chain the wrt400n (planned for obtaining IP via DHCP) off the coast of the mr314, it works fine. However when I reconfigure the wrt400n to use PPPoE with the same PPPoE user name and password as the mr314 had and plug the wrt400n directly on the ADSL modem, the wrt400n never leaves 'connection' mode on the status page. There is no error reported, even when I mangle intentionally username. In addition, there is no flicker of Rx & Tx lights on the modem. I turned it off and them powered upwards in order (1 modem, then wrt400n), with the same result. It's like the wrt400n is not communicating with the modem, but it does not communicate with the old raouter. I use the same cables when I'm daisy chaining off the coast of the MR314. I also checked for firmware updates, and there is not.

    Since I havve a very old ADSL modem, I thought that maybe the wrt400n doesn't detect that the modem can be slow, that is, it cannot handle 100 MHz. So I put an old hub 10Base-T between the wrt400n and the ADSL modem... and now it connects. The router seems to work fine now.

  • E4200 - renew (firmware 1.0.02) IP address problem

    I've recently updated E4200 firmware to version 1.0.02 (since version 1.0.01 which was working fine). Upgrade was closed successfully, but the router continues to renew the IP (Automatic Configuration - DHCP).
     
    I use E4200 with FiOS Actiontec modem (configured as a bridge).
    Test internet connection by replacing the new router to my old and everything works fine as usual (obtaining an IP address works as usual).

    My questions:
     
    -How to configure E4200 (firmware 1.0.02) to begin to renew the IP address again?
     
    -Is it possible to downgrade the firmware of the router to the old version 1.0.01?
    Where to download the old firmware?

    Solved!
    Has been demoted successfully to worm. 1.0.01.

  • Low-speed Internet with wired connection to E4200

    I have a HP Pavilion p6347c AMD Athlon II X 4 630 2.80 GHz, 64 Bit, Windows 7 SP1 WITH 16 GB of Ram, using Comcast high speed Internet.

    It works very well and I had no problem with my Pavilion until I replaced my old router G with a LinkSys E4200 (state-of-the-art, the top page of the router line N).  All the features work well, except that when I use Firefox 7.0 or Internet Explorer 9.0, the connection time is very very very slow when my computer is connected to my router with an Ethernet cable.  The problem disappears when I log - in using the same Ethernet cable - directly into the modem high speed; Then, the loading speeds are fast as lightning.  When I return to the router via a wired connection, even - page very very very slow post.

    I've already spent about 8 sessions with LinkSys on the phone and chat, and it turns out that the router is not the problem (according to LinkSys).  They advised that I need to contact the manufacturer of the computer, or people who can respond to Windows 7 support issues.  Someone at - it ideas?  Maybe something I can change in the settings of the firewall, network, computer security options settings?

    I connected my HP laptop running WINDOWS VISTA on the same Ethernet cable and disabled the wireless.  The speed of the wired connection is quick as a Flash - no problem at all.

    Then why my desktop Windows 7 SP1 computer not offer me the same speed?  Whenever I need to do important online work, I have to unplug my Ethernet cable from the router and plug directly on the modem to get faster speeds.  I then reconnect to the router once completed, so that users without wire and devices on my network work.  It's very frustrating.

    Help!  I am at a loss to understand why this computer has not faster to the Internet when wired to the router.  Is - this Windows 7?  There are some options that I need to change?  Someone at - he heard talk about this and you offer solutions?  Appreciate any assistance.  Thank you.  / Jacques novel /- [email protected]

    P.S. Customer LinkSys was no contribution to this issue.  I hope that some tech "warned" this reading will say AH-HAH and offer a viable solution.

    On a hunch, I selected the reset 'Factory Defaults' option in the Administration, after having updated the firmware. Something must have been damaged during the first attempt to install the router.

     

    To reset the default settings, you must have the original Setup disk and re-install using the same router name and the password.

     

    When this was done, the Ethernet connection worked perfectly.  Hope it will be useful to all having the same problem.
