Linksys WRT160n SPI Firewall

• Need help with Linksys WRT160N!

  I had a Linksys WRT160N (version 1) for a few years. I plugged it on my desk, followed by a VOIP router and a cable modem. Internet through Comcast cable with typical 15 to 20 Mbps DL and around 4 Mbps UL (via Speedtest.net and Speakeasy). My only wireless connections have been a Wii and PS3 without any speed problems (both tested).

  I just got a netbook Samsung N150 Plus with Win7 Starter and my DL speed is only 0.5-0.7 MB/s but UL is always around 4 Mbps. But only on the netbook... everything else is fine. I tried everything to fix this... updated the firmware on the router, tested the netbook on a different wireless network to ensure that it was not the wireless adapter (works fine), checked computer wired (works fine), tried different channels, tried to turn filtering off, tried to disable the firewall, tried to disable the blocking of anonymous requests etc. I read through other posts and the consensus was to get a new router. I can't believe this is my only option. Am I completely missing a simple difficulty here? Help, please!

  Thanks (and bear with me as I'm not as technically savvy as maybe others).

  OK... I had finally straightened it. I downloaded the latest version of EasyLink Advisor on my desktop and just rested on my network software. Wireless on my netbook DL speed went from 0.5 Mbps to 15 Mbps. I don't know why... all I know is that I couldn't install the LELA original (from included CD) on Windows 7 (x 86) although I managed to install the network very well (new PC is around the age of 6 months... used to have XP). Nothing has changed in the configuration of the router settings (at least not manually), so I'm not sure why it works now that LELA is installed on the Windows 7 desktop. If anyone knows I'm curious to know why this is... just in case someone else he meets and needs information.

• Linksys WRT160N

  I just bough Linksys WRT160N and replace the old one (Thompson router).

  I followed the installation CD. But when it's over, there is no connection to the internet.

  1 Linksys WRT160N image back

  

  If the yellow connector have 8 'PINE '.

  And my DSL of the wall have only 4 (connector 4-pin, but with only 2 wires)

  How can I make this work?

  

  You will need a DSL modem to connect the WRT to your ADSL line. I guess your old Thompson had a built-in modem. Thompson still works, you should be able to put Thompson in "bridge" mode and use it as a simple DSL modem. Then, you need to configure your WRT for PPPoE (if that's what your ISP uses) to connect to the internet via the DSL modem.

• Router LinkSys WRT160N V2 does not recognize my USB SMC EZ Connect 11 Mbps Wireless

  I have a Linksys WRT160N V2 router. So far I have correctly connected, using two 'wired' connections, my laptop and the printer. I was able to add two DS, Wii, wireless, another laptop and a PC. The laptop that connected wireless uses the D-Link wireless device and the PC uses an other SMC wireless device. All these things correctly connect through wireless connections. The last PC I tied to conenct uses USB SMC EZ Connect 11 Mbps Wireless. This computer can actually 'see' the Linksys router and this is the SSID. When I try to connect to him, he thinks about it for about 5-10 seconds and then fate and says "Detected wireless networks". Ironically, a neighbor also has a Linksys router. Its protected by WEP, but for some reason, my PC is ready to connect to the Linksys router (has a different SSID), but since I do not know the WEP key (I don't want to actually connect to sound at least) it shows the strength of connection 11 Mbit/s and of course, does not have an IP address. Why my router does not recognize my Wireless Linksys router? I even used the LELA 'Search' application for new devices, and he can't find it, all the while my PC 'sees' the router and fails to connect. Someone knows why? FYI, the PC in question just had XP loaded on it (total reconstruction) and has never been only once on the interent.

  If you have disable wireless security is disabled, and if still you are not connect to your wireless network, then I think you should try upgrading the drivers for your SMC card, once you update the drivers for you adapter after this you can try to connect to your wireless network.

• Cannot connect by Satellite A305 Linksys WRT160N wireless

  I have a Satellite A305-S6839 with Windows Vista Edition Home Premium that I tried to connect wireless to a Linksys Wireless - N WRT160N router but I am unable to get the service.
  I can configure the router and it transmits properly, but for some reason that I can't connect to it. I tried to reboot several times that the manufacturer suggested unplugging the cables, but that did not work. I suspect that there are drivers I need to download for this operation.

  Someone give some advice?

  First, visit the Toshiba support site we and install the latest BIOS and Wifi Driver.

  Second, try to change the Wifi settings-Wifi card-> properties > Device Manager. Increase power output, select "802. 11 g-only", turn off energy-saving.

• Linksys WRT160n v3 and dynamic IP address

  Welcome,
  I use TImeWarner cable to internet.
  These days tw uses dynamic IP addresses.
  So my "WRT160n v3" breaks down, when this change takes place.
  Is it possible to configure the "WRT160n v3" to handle this?

  I have networkMagicBasic.

  If not, can a Belkin 'N750 DB' manage dynamic addressing?

• Linksys WRT160N V2 Mac help?

  I came down for the summer at home with my parents and it seems that they have disconnected the router that I put in place around Christmas time last year - and now I forgot the password. I know that the password for the WiFi network general, but I don't remember what I put for access network (e.g. 192.168.1.1) is there a way to reset it? My parents have a ye olde Mac Tiger and refuse to upgrade. Nevertheless, I have a WRT160N and when I go to use the installation/setup disk it always comes back with something in the sense of "I'm sorry, we can not recognize your gateway" or something like that. I've tried everything I can for the past hour and have no idea what I'm doing wrong (when it asks for a password to the beginning of the month I do not always do anything, I click on the "I won't need this" (or whatever he said, I took a break and decided to ask for help).) I think what happened is that when my parents or the person abducted the router, the computer is now looking for the original (which I have no idea as to why). I hooked everything exactly the way the software says (ethernet to PC, internet to the router to the Modem, etc.) ... still nothing. Can anyone help?

  Nevermind, I ended up unplugging the modem ! Then I googled after the modem restarted, it was fine then. Good luck to anyone having this problem!

• VoIP provider said disable firewall SPI, which is safe?

  Hi all

  I have recently (2-3 weeks ago) changed my router to a Linksys BESFR41 wireless WRT120N-related.  I started having problems with my phone voip service - it was OK for 1 year - and after a repair with support, they suggested to disable the SPI Firewall.  They say that the SPI Firewall is known to interfere with voip.  By disabling the firewall I do my very precarious network?  If so, what other choices are there?  Should not worry about this?

  TIA

  Hello

  To cut the short story - even if I had dealing with this for two days-, it seems that my router firmware has become corrupted.  I was on a call from a technician level 4 support, and it suggested that I update the firmware and perform a full reset.  Once this done, everything seems back to normal.

  Thank you for all your help.

• Linksys Router WRT160N - Wireless does not connect to the cable modem

  I installed the Linksys WRT160n router to replace an existing G router. When installed the new wireless router works, but the router does not receive a connection (IP address - look under status) of the cable modem (so no internet). When I reconnect the old router and then connect the new router, I get any internet connection through two routers (so the old dishes router the IP address that accepts the new router).

  I have configured the router N new for

  "Automatic configuration - DHCP", no need for connection, IP address dynamic, etc (as required by ISP - Timewarner)

  I tried to renewal and release IP address by the router N when it is connected directly to the main switch (the switch to connect to the cable modem). In so doing, shouldn't that assign a new IP address to the router?

  I am allowed 3 IPs from the cable company (because of the switch) and I use all three with three different internet IP cameras to each address for home security system.

  Any suggestions on why the router is not connecting to the internet? Do I need to reboot physically everything on the network, including the cable modem?

  If I understand your post, you said that your ISP gives you 3 Internet IP addresses and you have 3 cameras that use one of these Internet IP addresses.  If this is correct, then that leaves no IP Internet address for your WRT160N use - so that would explain why your WRT160N cannot get an Internet connection.

  If I misread your post, and you have an Internet IP address available for the WRT160N, you might have a problem with your modem and two WRT160N tries to use the same 192.168.1.x subnet.  To check this, follow these steps:

  (1) Please indicate addresses that use your cameras (IE before you take the test below).  If the addresses do not begin with 192.168, then erase the last half of each address.

  (2) Please indicate your ISP

  (3) Please indicate the make and exact model of your modem (not the WRT160N) number.

  (4) Please do the following test:

  Put your entire network.  Disconnect the switch (including cameras) to the modem.  Using an ethernet cable, connect your modem directly to your computer.  (Do not use the WRT160N for this test).  Turn on the modem and the computer.  Make sure you have an active Internet connection, then go ahead with what follows: (even if your Internet connection does not work, include this and move forward.)

  Go to 'Start' > all programs > Accessories > command prompt.
  A black DOS window will appear. Type "ipconfig/all" (with no quotes), and press the Enter key.   Copy all results in your next post.  To make the copy, highlight the results, and then use the keys copy (Ctrl-c) and paste (Ctrl-v) keys.  If your "IP address" does not begin with 192.168, then for security reasons, delete the latter half of your IP address.

• Bug of Linksys WRT54GC Mode of operation of "router"?

  I use a Linksys WRT54GC router and I experience a behavior that I don't expect.
  You give me your opinion?
  This is the case:

  My assumption of "Gateway" or "Router" operating Mode is:
  Gateway mode means NAT that makes invisible LAN subnet side WAN addresses. NAT is disabled by activating the Mode of operation of 'Gateway' to 'router '.

  I have connected a PC (192.168.2.100) to port the router WAN and another (192.168.23.100) PC on a LAN (192.168.23.1) of the router (192.168.2.2) port.
  When I switch my WRT54GC "Router" mode I can't always ping the PC on the site of the side router LAN WAN. SPI Firewall protection and block anonymous Internet requests are disabled. Firewalls on both computers is disabled.

  I saw a similar problem at the forum "Connecting two routers via WAN" 08/28/2008 Victor Tang.

  Don't you think that it is a bug in the mode of operation of the WRT54GC software?

  I reported the bug to Linksys.

  My first experience with Linksys technical support is very good.

  They take the serious problem, ask for the discharge of Wireshark and send me an update of the firmware of the router.

  This fixes the bug with the mode of operation, now I can without NAT on and outside, very well!

  I don't have firmware update earlier because the release notes did not mention my bug, I read in the forum a lot of users having problems after the update of the firmware, so I followed the policy do not update unless it can solve your problem.

  There are some things perhaps worth mentioning:

  You should be careful to use the right firmware for your router.

  Not only the model of the router is too important, the hardware version and too country!

  I've got a WRT54GC, hardware version 1, and it is the type of the EU.

  Of this material, there's also a different US with versions of firmware version!

  The latest version of the firmware to the US type is v1.60.1, the latest version of the EU type is 1.60.0 v.

  Thus, you should take care of this website, you download the update to get the right version and read the release notes. These release notes, you can check if your current firmware version is part of the history of this firmware, so you know that you have the right one. I was so very accurate because many have reported problems in the forum with updates.

  Now I'm able to Exchange traffic between computers and printers in different subnets and I can access the Internet from each subnet gateway I want.

  It is important to think about the configuration of your PC and routing tables.

  The firewall on the computers must be configured on the additional subnet.

  A PC has a default gateway to reach a device on another subnet.

  Most of the time these are devices on the Internet, so if you create additional internal subnets that your traffic will be by default will be send to the Internet and will be lost. To define additional gateways where your additional subnet can be found to avoid this.

  This can be done on a PC with the command: route add (IE 192.168.23.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.2) or you define a static route to your router (the latter is preferable).

  The problems I've had, forced me to consider how does networking, with the help of the users on this forum, I would conclude that this is a bug, with the support of very good Linksys everything now works as expected.

  Thank you.

• Nooblet needs help with Linksys WRT160Nv2 wired installation please

  Hello

  I've set up my Linksys WRT160N and when I check the status of the router in the configuration based on the web, the status tab page, there are numerical values for the Internet IP address.

  Therefore, I believe that the router connects to the internet via my modem netgear with no problems.

  The problem I encounter is that my browser (I tried explore and Firefox) will not have access to the internet.

  I tried to access the internet with firewall off, but always without success.

  Can someone give me some advice as to what settings in Windows XP or in the contrary case, I need to change to fix this problem.

  Thank you in advance,

  Thanks for the help guys.

  I seems to have fixed.  I uninstalled the Intel Pro Wireless software and restarted.

  Then I installed an older version of the driver 3.

  Was done half of the work, under network connections when I 'configure' network card, it is now showing a MAC address, before the uninstall and reboot, the MAC was using all 0 configure, but ipconfig/all showed the correct MAC address.

  But now the wireless has been constantly acquire an address, then connected, then entered directly by acquiring an address once again. so wouldn't connect after a few attempts.  Before uninstalling, it showed as connected, but I could not use the connection to access the router, internet, etc.

  Now, to fix the constant acquire an address, I updated the driver for the latest driver and the Intel Pro Wireless software and now here I am happily on my connection wireless hassle.

  Once again, thank you for the help.

• Can I use my WRT160N V1 as a signal booster/access point?

  I have a router Linksys WRT160N I want to use it as an access point for the devices in my basement. The main modem is a century link PK5001A. How could I go to set it up?

  Yes cascade would be wired AP.

  If you mean you want to change the WRT in a wireless Repeater that is different. In this case, you are lucky DD - WRT is compatible with V1.

  http://www.DD-WRT.com/site/support/router-database

  Change the firmware for this 3rd part and configure the WRT as wireless Repeater. It is not easy to config but there is a lot of documentation for DD - WRT.

• Linksys bridge to extend your wireless Signal

  Hello

  I just installed a Linksys WRT160N router. The signal started of good about 50 to 70 feet of the location of routers. Now the signal is part as low in many, 54 Mbps. I was wondering what options I might have to install a wireless for the expansion of the signal bridge. I configured a network encrypted with WPA2. Any advice would be appreciated to help me buy the right bridge. Also, I wonder what would be the technical difficulty to install and configure. I have configure the WRT160N myself if it means something.

  Thank you

  Hello TooManyDonuts,

  I updated the firmware on routers to the latest version. He used the firmware from 2007. I have udated the Intel wireless adapter to a newer version of the driver. I choose channel 8 in the range of 2.4 Gig for the router and choose channel 8 for the adapter.  I increased a couple of options for the adapter wireless beyond the default option. I don't have that options a, B and G for the adatper, no N option. I guess that you may not have everything. Now the signal is very good (54 Mbit/s) and I always use WPA2-Personal. Thanks for your help, it worked.

  Thank you
