• WOL/Magic Packet not work with the new EA9200

  I just replace a Cisco E4200 with a LinkSys EA9200. I transferred all the port forwarding and other settings and everything seems to work except that a desktop computer that is connected to the router cable no longer appears to get Magic packets sent on the internet.  The package ispassed fine interenally.   The computer is static mapped and I rechecked the port and addressing informatuion on the new EA9200 and it's all good - it simply doesn't.  The EA9200 has the latest firmware.

  Ideas?

  Short version: thank you very much for your help, everything works fine and life is sweet.

  Long version: my previous set up was a wild card in what I forgot. I've always subscribed to and using the T-Mobile @Home. They have stopped supporting it there are about three years old, but those of us who had it could hold. In my previous set up with 4200 E, I have T-Mobile device between the modem and the router that it would not work on the other side of the router. However, I've now moved behind the router and the new router is apparently smart enough to allow the device T-Mobile get some connectivity it needs without problem. Accordingly, everything works fine, and the world turns once more in greased grooves.

  Thanks again for your help.

• E4200 Replacing Gigabit Router FIOS

  So I have this red gigabit with the 150/65 service router.  It connects via ethernet for internet and has a coaxial cable to transmit data from the guide etc.

  So my idea was to let the Verizon router connected and on (with a wi - fi off) he could make the TV stuff and just plug in my router to the ethernet port on the wall the Verizon guy installed.

  Not so easy of course, my E4200 will not recognize ethernet of my HAVE (I think that's what we call the device that they put in my basement) and the internet does not work.  I factory reset the router.

  The reason I do all this because the e4200 to 2.4 ghz wireless range is nearly unmatched and given of my house, the actiontech cannot reach my room.

  Any help is very appreciated, I can't imagine that it is too difficult, since I already have the ethernet connection.

  Thank you

  Some modems act as a modem/router that might be in your case. You must cascaded routers, and you can use a lan wan connection. But you need to change the ip address of the E4200 so that it will not lead to a conflict with the modem. Replace with 192.168.5.1 or something as long as the third byte third segment) is not the same as the modem. Then, you can configure the way you want wireless.

• 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.

  Thanks for link to hiptechboy to the old firmware

• 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.
  

• Problems with ports ethernet E4200

  I have problems with my ethernet ports on my router E4200 V1.  I do not get on flow rate of 12 Mbps on a single connected wired computer.  If I replace it with a simple switch 5 port I get 60 Mbit/s using the same cables.  I looked through the creation and cannot come up with any solution.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Mike

  OK I tore across the network.  Started from scratch and found the problem.  It is quite strange, but everything works fine!

  I discovered through the process of elimination that the cisco router did not like my Panamax Lan UTP.  Cisco is apparently more strict with the signal than the simple switch or refurbished netgear router.  I had the protection on the power strip 6 Max near the iMac.  The totally weird part is that slowed down the entire network.  Streaming is now pending on 60Mbps at each connection to the local network.

  Thank you all for your time I walked through this weird problem.

• E4200: Port before releasing for WOL?

  Some routers are capable of transmitting to broadcast directly by sending a port to 192.168.1.255, the other I was able to trap by transmitting to 192.168.1.254, and then editing the arp with 192.168.1.254 table <->ff: ff: ff: ff: ff: ff. Is there a way I can edit the E4200 arp table? Is there a way to telnet in or get a console connection?

  I activated successfully WOL through the E4200. My guess is that it works with most of the other Linksys routers. First, however, I would ask that Cisco has just enable this through their Web UI, this clearly isn't a big deal and a simple update (modification of javascript is all it takes). Please Cisco, do right by your customers.

  First, I created a port rule for port 9 UDP to *.254 forward (for most of you * will be 192.168.1).

  Then, I went on the button "Booking DHCP" and filled the form to "Manually add Client." My client called "wol" (yours can be anything). My etait.254 assigned ip address and the MAC address can be anything, you can simply copy and paste a MAC address that is already on the page and change the last digit...

  When you click on submit, the form is validated by Javascript; the form is not actually submitted until you press the "Save Settings" button.

  Before you save the settings, I activated the plugin Firefox "Tamper Data". This allowed me to change the form POST request before you actually send to the webserver built into the router. It is a little messy, but simply replace the MAC address that is appropriate in the field of the new customer.

  Presto!

  It's too bad that there is a silent Javascript validation, blocking a very useful feature for this router. A feature which can clearly already handled by the firmware.

  Once again, please do right by your customers, Cisco.

  Enjoy,

  Matt

  PS - This method could have an extra step. I will try using Tamper Data for entrer.255 in port forwarding form directly when I get a chance. If someone is able to do this, let us know!

• Cisco Linksys E4200 v2 fails to process UPNP requests

  Bought a new router E4200 v2 version last month and replaced my dlink dir-655 and I started to see the alerts on my server at home that it is impossible to configure the router.

  Already checked on the router that UPNP is enabled. already tried disabling the firewall, ipv4 and ipv6 and turning too wide "filter applications anonymous Internet", but does not

  then in WHS 2011 troubleshooting guildline, I ran a router online test tool: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/using/tools/igd/results.mspx

  and all tests passed except "Testing UPNP" and the poster details a mistake:

  'Test 5 - UPnP Support Test not supported

  Result:

  The operating system is Windows Vista
  The firewall is turned on

  Exceptions are provided by the firewall

  UPnP is enabled by the firewall

  UPnP services are running

  Discovery of UPnP is enabled

  Detect Internet gateway on the network devices

  2 RMI (s) found

  The IGD device information:

  get_StaticPortMappingCollection() returns NULL IStaticPortMappingCollection

  get_StaticPortMappingCollection() returns NULL IStaticPortMappingCollection

  get_StaticPortMappingCollection() returns NULL IStaticPortMappingCollection

  Could not get the IGD port mapping ".

  Now, it seems that my router is bad or cisco/linksys does not support this API and is not compatible.

  is there a way to fix this?

  * Firewall can block almost all of the ports used by P2P clients. Check if the BitTorrent ports are made available to customers requesting. Disable the firewall of the router and enable uPnP features allow the BitTorrent ports to pass through.

  * As E4200 is a new Cisco router usually have a good level of security, and unless you have a good configuration configured on the router it can block the software work that uses UPNP.

  * If the ISP updates for IPV6 nodes still functionality for IPV4 will exist as the Lauch of IPV6 also depends on the hardware compatibility

  So, once reset the router for Hard Reset 30/30/30

  The following procedure will clear the NVRAM and set the router back to the default values:

  With the power on, press and hold the reset button the back of the unit for 30 seconds
  Without releasing the reset button, unplug the unit and hold reset for another 30 seconds
  Plug in the appliance ALWAYS keeping the reset button a final 30 seconds...

  Then reconfigure the router once more and then check the concern...

• Two e4200 or 1 e4200 and Re1000

  My e4200 v2 arrived today to replace my v1. I installed it with an amplifier re1000 for our House. Works fine now, but he has a few google searches and it seems I could do my original e4200 in a bridge, this would be the way to go for the wifi max? I could run a cable cat 6 upstairs along the outside of the House quite easily thank you Mk

  Fix. The RE1000 repeating wireless signals. This increases the volume of traffic by at least 2 wifi leaving you with less than half of the possible bandwidth.

  With a second access point (e.g. an E4200 in bridge mode connected to your main router) the two access points can run on different channels and therefore to use the bandwidth full on each.

• E4200 v2 wireless signal power is intermittent

  Just updated firmware for 2.1.39.144146

  have 5 GHz mode - mixed, WPA2, 40 mhz, channel 161 channel width

  the rule 2.4 GHz mode - mixed, WPA2, 20 mhz, Channel 6 channel width

  Online technical support said it could solve my problem, but my old e1000 had a stronger and more coherent (fluctuating) broadcast signal.

  My PC and the router are in the family room at the back of the House. The signal strength is Ok in the first room, but 2nd room in front of the House (30 feet and two walls away) it is 3 bars to nothing all the time. We have a guest who stay with us two days a week. There has never been a problem with the signal strength of the e1000 for recent years, but the v2 e4200 behaves like a piece of * beep *. I spent over 60 minutes with an online support person whose answer was to upgrade the firmware (which of course now removes a direct access to the router via the browser.)

  I hope that someone knows what I need to do to make this work, or it goes back to Amazon and I'll buy another brand of dual band N router.

  Change the channel of your router to 1, 9 or 11 to optimize your wireless signal. Maybe this link can help http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/21132/change-your-wi-fi-router-channel-to-optimize-your-wireless-sign....  If still the same, I think this device needs to be replace.

• E4200 is slow, YouTube HD videos

  I have the cable @ 15Mbps down, 2Mbps upward. The cable line comes in the attic in my daylight basement. I have 3 Cat-5 cables, running through the House. 1 in the TV downstairs and then 1 to 2 rooms upstairs (which is my home office). In the Home Office, the Cat-5 is connected to a switch 24 ports. I plug my computer printer, NAS, etc. in this switch.

  I have a WRT54G2 v1 I used in my router/access point.

  I have a 1st & 3rd generation iPad. 3 bed iPad videos from YouTube in HD. About 6 weeks ago I started having some slow YouTube video playback on my iPad. They would play a few seconds, then pause to buffer, etc.. It was the videos started playing almost immediately and would never buffer.

  With Wifi Analyzer for Android, I noticed that my neighborhood is saturated with wifi 2.4 GHz. So, I thought that the 2.4 Ghz band is saturdated and if I moved to a 5 GHz band, the buffering of YouTube would be fixed.

  So, I bought an E4200 (v1 I think) Amazon. I bought this router/access point because it supports the 5 GHz band. He had also some other nice features like a separate comments wifi network.

  I have it plugged into my cable modem and installing everything. Always slow YouTube, and now YouTube videos are slow on my laptop (connected via ethernet). I still get ~ 15Mbps via ethernet or wifi using the speed test page provided by my ISP, but YouTube videos are VERY slow.

  Today, I called my ISP today and they made me plug my laptop directly into the modem. I was surprised to see 1080 p YouTube videos load quickly and never buffer.

  So, I returned to my WRT54G2 and plugged my laptop. Always get quick videos.

  At this point, I now use the WRT54G2 as my router/access point, and I have configured my E4200 as an AP and plugged into ethernet.

  I'm on my iPad connected to the strip of the 5 GHz on the E4200, which is connected to the WRT54G2 using ethernet, and I can watch YouTube videos without problem.

  It seems that when the E4200 is used as a router, I'm getting poor performance of YouTube. My speed on other sites seemed to go well, including video streaming from Amazon.

  I really want to use the E4200 as my router/access point because it allows the network to comments. And then I set up the WRT54G2 as Access Point to provide the best coverage WiFi and connect it to the switch in my home office (because it is higher in the House, I suspect it would provide a stronger signal).

  My question is: is this a configuration issue with the E4200? Or is it possible the E4200 is defective and I should send him a replacement?

  It turned out that the DIF is that YouTube does not like a MTU of 1500. I dropped it to 1 460 and it works much better. I would like to know if there is a bigger problem however.

• wrt1900ac speeds slow older e4200 is faster

  I am direct jessy in belgion

  I bought me a new wrt1900ac router to replace my e4200 about a week ago

  installed with the same setup as my old router and get verry bad wireless speeds

  also Wired is slower

  I like modem, a router diferent provider telenet (cable)

  and is the connector in a lan for my linksys (only option I) port and the same as how my e4200 attached

  before I had internet speeds reach 11mbit now 120mbit

  When I change the settings of the new linksys

  DHCP - off (dhcp is not off on the e4200 router)

  -modem cable from the vendor to the linksys lan port

  I get a speed over fast but then also only 80mbit

  the wrt1900ac also DUN reached no more then old router

  and connection speed wirh two routers is 144mbit (with this computer at work I can get 300mbit connection speeds so computer isn't the problem

  changing channels have no effect on the speed of connection speed (or better said almost nothing)

  When I put off the wifi signal and use a router speeds cable linksys are also slower then when I use the same cable between the modem from the supplier directly into my computer so that the cable is not a problem

  only through the wrt1900ac speed is slow

  also sometimes spit when the connection is bad

  It seems that you have done everything you can because it seems your defective device maybe. I recommend phone contact Linksys and RMA request. Or return this unit to place of purchase one get a different unit.

• E4200 - slow internet download speed

  New installation of router E4200 (replaced the old 54GS w / dd - wrt firmware)

  ISP - Comcast Business class 16/2 Note:

  PC connected directly to the gateway to Comcast I get about 18 down and 5 upwards (w / PowerBoost)

  PC link to E4200, gateway to Comcast, and I get a solid 9.45 down and 5 upwards

  I can go back and the results are consistent...

  Old 54GS became same as directly to the gateway

  No idea why the E4200 is cut my download speed of half ih (fortunately upload stays the same!)?

  Problem solved...

  Port 1 on the Comcast gateway has been locked to 10 MB for a reason, moved 2 Port PC connection and return to what things should be for 16/2 with PowerBoost, Speedtest reports 28 down & 5 upwards... Yes! Must be a bad port on the gateway to Comcast!

• Connection problems with WUSB300N and E4200

  Hello

  I wonder if someone can help out me. I bought an E4200 router to replace my old WRT150N. I got a WUSB300N connected properly to the old router, but it does not connect to the E4200. I have a guest network set up on this subject, and the adapter can connect to it, so I am at a loss as to why it does not connect. Anyone think that has something to do with the type of security, I have set up? I had WPA2 on my WRT150N and E4200 WPA2/WPA mixed mode.

  The adapter is located on a desktop running Win XP.

  Thank you!

  Before suggest you troubleshooting steps, I have a few questions. As when you connect to a wireless network it appears an error message? Check as well the wireless settings on the router.

  [A] with the help of the Cisco Connect software (if at all, you have installed the router using this software)

  1] open the software and go to the option that says "settings of the router.

  [2] then click on the option that says 'Advanced settings', which will take you to the router configuration page.

  [3] then go to the wireless network mode tab keep as mixed,

  For 2.4 GHz string parameters, you can make the channel width to channel 6, 9, 11 and 20 MHz only...

  For the 5 GHz channel parameters, you can do channel width to 20 MHz only and channel 40 or 161...

  [B] If you have not installed Cisco connect then you can connect to the router's user interface using its default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and enter "admin" as password empty username field. This will take to the web interface of the router and then follow the steps as indicated above to make the changes.

• E4200 descendant speed limited to 6 Mbps

  I posted this in the forum of wired, because it is the wire speed is limited, but it seems that there is so more expertise E4200 here, here, it's once again:

  I have a fiber service Hotwire and the plan is supposed to provide 20 Mbps downlink speeds.

  I just bought a Linksys/Cisco E4200 to replace an old Dell TrueMobile 2300 of 2004.  With this router, I had announced full backward speed.

  Now, when I run a speed test with the E4200 in place, the downlink speed is only 5168 Kbps or more.  Watching the test speed meters, I see the data arriving in bursts, all a few seconds than a whole bunch of it gets through, and then for a second or two, nothing.  It's pretty steady.

  But if I run a speed test with the cable to connect ONTARIO directly on a laptop, I see 19001 Kbps - pretty close to 20.  It is the same cable that plugs into the back of the router.

  With E4200 in place

  

  Live in laptop

  

  Any ideas that I can check or set in the E4200 to change this behavior?

  -Christmas

  OK, do the senseless thing and going through all configs and just try the options and re - test every time, I have found a setting that seems to have bypassed the problem...

  I enabled MAC address Clone (it has been disabled by default) and cloned Mac. my PC

  I can only guess there is a problem between the router and the Motorola HAVE.  Maybe they don't like Cisco and arbitrarily limit the speed if they feel a Cisco's Mac address?  I know, it's a stretch.

  In any case, I'm happy.
