• Suggestion for setting up a good secured router including wireless routers

  I've owned three routers LinkSys Wireless since May 2007: two WRT54G (V6 and V8) and my current V1 E3000.  All provided configuration options that can do if it is very difficult, if not impossible, for unauthorized access to my WiFi routers.

  All changes must then your system is connected to one of the router's Ethernet ports and not through WiFi due to the modification point #3 of "General Suggestions.

  All the elements in square brackets by "<>" are the titles of LinkSys Admin web pages or sections of web pages.  Don't forget to click "Save Settings" on a single web page before you go to another web page or your changes will be lost.

  Please note that not all pages of the LinkSys Router Web Admin can use the titles of Section-page/website such as used in this suggestion.

  Make sure you know MAC address and physics of your wireless adapter so that it will be necessary for the point #3 «Proposals WiFi»  Assuming that you have a Microsoft Windows-based system, use a 'Command Prompt' to issue command ' ipconfig/all' to determine the MAC address (aka physical) of your adapter WiFi wireless connected to a router.

  After all the suggested changes, repeat the process to ensure that the changes have been saved.

  GENERALS.

  (1) < administration/mgmt=""> change the Admin password to one of your choice.

  (2) access to disable HTTP and HTTPS allow access.  After that it changed was recorded, you must reconnect to the router via note https://192.168.1.1 URL using httpS or http (without S) for a secure connection to the router admin web pages.

  (3) in Wireless disable access to the Admin web pages.  Must use the Ethernet port on the router.

  (4) in disable remote management AND disable UPnP - UPnP (a well-known Protocol should can route diversion if enabled).

  Specific suggestions of WiFi.

  (1) in turn off the SSID broadcast.  This will prevent the intruders 'driveby' to see the SSID of LinkSys Router.  Make sure that change you the default SSID of your choice.

  (2) in set your security level to the WPA or WPA2 (preferred WPA2).  Do NOT use WEP because it's encryption algorithm can be cracked in less than 5 seconds.  This will protect your transmissions between your system and the router.  The E series routers are supported both WPA/WPA2 depending on the client configuration.  My WRT54G routers would support only WPA or WPA2.

  (3.) in Select AES, TKIP not as security consultants have recently discovered a flaw in TKIP encryption crackable.

  4.) Select a passphrase that you and systems all allowed must be used to secure your router connections.

  (5) in the enable filtering MAC and "Allow only PC" whose MAC addresses are defined in the .  Both of these changes will require that you register addresses MAC and physical of all wireless clients that allow you to connect to your network router.  Failure to record the physical address/MAC system will refuse this system to access your network, even if they have the correct passphrase AES and SSID.

  1. disable the SSID broadcast is useless. Any Drivede will detect always immediately the access point because it should send signals of tag.

  It is trivial to force a wireless client to reveal the SSID. Thus, any hacker will be able to learn the SSID almost immediately after it has detected the presence of your router.

  In addition, to disable the SSID broadcast causes known problems of connection/reconnection with several wireless devices.

  In addition, broadcast disable SSID drains the batteries in your wireless devices as they have to actively seek a connection to your SSID to know whether here or now.

  As long as your wireless device is not connected to a wireless network, it will be continues to try to connect to your SSID at regular intervals. For example, if you have your iPhone set up to connect to your home network and you pull out your iPhone permanently tries to connect to your SSID, transmitting the requests of the association on a regular basis, actually bloating on your "hidden SSID' to anyone.

  As transmitting something takes a lot more power then passively scanning and tuned radio waves, it drains the battery. If you need good battery life with your ever wireless devices connect them to a network with SSID broadcast disabled, or make sure that the device does not automatically connect to it!

  Never disable the SSID broadcast, especially not for security reasons, because they do not offer any added safety or an advantage.

  2. the MAC address filtering does nothing more. MAC addresses are always in the unencrypted part of wireless packet. Any attacker will immediately learn the MAC addresses of your wireless devices. It is absolutely useless in the means of security and cause problems as the best for you. Do not bother about the filtering of MAC addresses. It does not prevent attacks on your network as it is easily circumvented.

  Use WPA2 with AES and a password strong. That's all that is necessary to protect your wireless network.

  The rest is a joke for any aggressor and bothers you much more than the alleged assailant. If an attacker was able to decipher your network WPA2/AES the SSID of your network and MAC addresses are a free byproduct you will get during the cracking process...

• Addition of wireless routers in series with the existing network

  I have a client who wants to add at least 3 Wireless throughout their existing network routers. The problem is that these routers must be in the same subnet as the existing network. Oh, we use routers Linksys WRT610N. By default, routers set up a new subnet with a DHCP assigned IP of the primary subnet. I was able to change the static WAN IP, but I do not know how to configure the rest. The point of this is that if a user connected via the ethernet cable or wireless signal, they should be able to access the same network resources. I chatted with support, but they are not allowed to help what it isn't is not a "standard" configuration Anyone can shed some light on this subject? I've done this before with another customer, but its been a few years and it's a different router.

  Thank you!

  You don't want a router. You want a wireless access point. You have wireless routers that you do not use as routers, but only as access points. A router by definition routes traffic between several subnets connected to the various interfaces (LAN and WAN). This kind of configuration is not what the WRT is built for and that's why support said you that it is not a standard configuration for a WRT.

  You can use a WRT as simple access point.

  Reconfigure the router via its web interface. Connect a computer to the router first.

  1. set the LAN IP address on a free IP address in the existing network.
  2. make sure NOT to set a static IP address on the type of internet connection.
  3. on the main configuration page turn off the DHCP server.
  4. now save the settings. You will lose the connection.
  5. unplug the computer and one of the numbered LAN ports of wire to your existing network.

  Now you can access the web interface of the WRT to the new LAN IP address. All wired to the other 3 LAN ports and everything wirelessly connected has access to the network directly.

• Cascading of wireless routers. How?

  Hello!

  I need 2 routers cascade, but I can't use threads (at least for the moment), to extend the coverage of my private home network.

  First router is a WRT610Nv1, connected via PPPoE for my ISP and Internet. The two radio freq (2.4 & 5 MHz) are activated but I use mostly the 2.4 with the devices.

  Second router is an E2000, 2 floors below. During this second device, I would like to connect some cables (XBOX) and some wireless device (computers). It would be ok to configure E2000 as an Extender (same IP subnet) but I can't find any option or similar configuration to use WDS.

  Currently the E2000 place is taken by a 3rd router (WRT150Nv1.1 with firmware WW - DRT) acting as a Repeater bridge (over 2.4 MHz) but I want to dismiss this 3rd possibly using 5 MHz and didn't want to put the dd - wrt firmware in E2000.

  Is it possible to connect WRT610N and E2000 cascade wireless? How can I configure them?

  Thanks in advance for any suggestion...

  Concerning

  Roberto

  No you can not mount cascade two Linksys wireless routers, you must use a thread.  However, there are 3rd party firmware that can do this.  Make a search for DD - WRT and discover their firmware.

• is it possible to connect 2 computers 2 different 1 modem wireless routers

  is it possible to connect 2 computers 2 different 1 modem wireless routers?

  Why do you have 2 routers?

  Depends on the design of the modem. It probably only supports a connection. So, you'll probably end up making a wired connection between modem and "1 router" and if you really need a second wireless router, install a wired connection between the 2 routers.

• Cisco still sells router-AP (wireless routers) for domestic use

  Well, do not really know where to ask
  But what is described

  Cisco router-point of access is great and fearsome performance for a domestic use, but cisco is still for sale? If so, can someone give me a link to the list of products?
  Think so just to clarify, I'm not talking about Linksys wireless routers :)

  If you are looking for equipment of the company, so it's Cisco, but since they let go the Linksys line, it is not any kind of home router AP. Cisco has an SME but that may not be what you want too.

  All new wireless router works with Windows 7...

• Broadcom - Win 7 and several wireless adapter laptop

  Almost 2 years (against HP/Compaq conventionaladvice), I upgraded my Presario R4012 of Compaq with XP to Windows 7 and after modification of some drivers it works fine since... until a few weeks ago.  I use Verizon Fios Internet and had my upload and download speed service rose 35 / 35 Mbps, several months ago.  Around the same time, I changed my security type of WPA2-PSK routers.  Since that time I had a significant reduction in the speed of the network.  Sometimes it is excruciatingly slow.  I called Verizon and after a few tries, they said it was my laptop and contact the manufacturer. I realize that they tell me to go back to Windows XP and they will be happy to help you! ) As I said, they do not support Windows 7 with this old machine.  In any case, my original wireless network card driver included a Broadcom 802. 11 b/G with Speedbooster.  I currently use a Broadcom 802.11 G driver 8.30.21.0 dated Date version 01/10/2008, which is the latest version and it worked well until the recent changes.  I ran evaluator of internet connectivity of Microsoft, and he said: I'm supported for Vista/Win 7 autotuning. I have fooled with changing the settings by autotune but have it currently set to 'normal '.   I should get speeds in the largest 10 Beach Mbps and very rare occasions I do when you use speedtest.com, but most of the time I'm less 0.20 Mbps and, frequently, time-out on some servers when downloading material. Driver for my card would be the problem?  I suspect it doesn't work well with the type of security of the router I recently modified.  Where should I go from here? Is there a driver that I could install tocorrect the problem?

  Blue_Brain, thanks for the suggestion on WPA - 2. For more information, I also upgraded Toshiba my wife from Vista to Windows 7 and his cell phone does not have this slow using the same type of security on the same router. I'll get back to WPA - 2 to WEP on my router and see if that has an effect on improving my speed of network on my laptop but I don't really see this as a good solution because it reduces a preferred security level. I saw the impact that the new or different versions of drivers for my card could support WPA - 2, or at least support it better.  I go back to the type of security and to communicate my results the next day or two.  Perhaps you or others might have ideas on changes of driver for my Broadcom card.

• Wireless routers? Is anything the most RECENT/FASTER coming out soon?

  Hello

  I am looking to buy a new router. We do a lot of games on the internet and streaming video in a large House, usually at the same time with multiple devices. I bought a Cisco EA6500 almost 2 years ago and it seems to slow down when several people are online. I have Cox cable for a provider. I just wanted to know if something new will come out soon because I don't want to buy something and have a more recent/better product introduced two weeks later.  I'm looking at the Linksys WRT1900AC or the EA9200 of AC3200/model Linksys. Anyone can tell me which camera would be best for my situation or do I watch something different? I like the Smart Wi - Fi feature, that I currently have, so I would stay with something that has the same functionality.

  Any comments would be appreciated, and I thank you for your help.

  Hello

  Are all your AC receivers WiFi compatible?

  The best of those who is the WRT1900AC which should help to your problems of range some. Consider
  Add the RE6500 Range Extender (shown in a text of presentation of advertising on the next page). Of course I
  range extender would also help the EA6500.

  Scroll to the bottom of the page for comparisons.
  http://store.Linksys.com/Linksys-WRT1900AC-open-source-wireless-Router_stcVVproductId158014980VVcatId551966VVviewprod.htm

  4 external antennas and 600 vs 450 (your EA6500 existing) flow on 2.4 should help.
  Both have the same band of 5.0 spec'd 1.3 where AC.

  Flow speed surely decreases rapidly with distance. AC is much better at distance
  that N. N wifi real world is 50-150 Mbps, while the AC is 2.5 times N real world.

  Check with your Internet provider to see the best specifications, you can expect.

  Run OOKLA on all computers. Use a wire on most large number and run it again
  compare the results. (Of course run several times and averaged the results.)

  Here's a good review of N vs AC.

• HP Officejet Pro 8600 more sees two wireless routers - does not connect

  I bought a HP Officejet 8600 and tries to connect to my wireless network.

  I have the printer connected directly to the computer.

  I restarted the computer, the printer and the time capsule.

  I am running OSX 10.8.4 on my imac.

  My wireless router is a time capsule that is in common with all the firmware.

  When I try to connect the printer to the wireless network it tells me that "more than one access point/router wireless was found which corresponds to your wireless network (SSID) name".  No 6 other devices that use the connection without wire see what second SSID with the same name and I can't find in Airport utility where there is a second network.

  Any ideas?

  Did you go in the settings of the router? Looks like it is set to dual band and sends two signals. If you go into your settings and change, it is only broadcast at 2.4 GHz, which should help you to connection problems.

  Hello techie16

  The MBRN3000 supports usb 3g modems, but it has never been tested with the Ac329u, so I can't guarantee that it will work.

• 2 wireless routers, I can get out, but not in

  I was hoping you might be able to help me with my setup, I've almost got it, there's just something that I'm missing.  I had a wireless router G (WRT54G) running well in my network for a while now, and since my wife and I both just 802.11n capable laptop, I thought I would update and buy an N capable router (WRT320N.)

  I want to dedicate the N Router for laptop computers and to use for our computers/server down wired gigabit ports.  I still have some G-only devices (PS3, Xbox, iPhone, older laptops) I want to connect to the old G router.  I also use my PS3 as a DLNA server so want to be able to join the server wired on the N Router for the PS3 wireless network g. (I'll just use a router N and G later, you know what I mean )

  So, I pulled the G router out of the network.  Configured the router as DHCP N, with an internal address of 10.1.1.1 and plugged into the WAN port on my modem.  Plugged the router G into my phone and statically configured the external interface as 10.1.1.254, and inside the interface as 192.168.1.1 and plugged his WAN port in one of the ports on the router N 'LAN '. (I left the internal addresses on the router G DHCP to 192.168.1.x, since I was a few static addresses on the G network)

  Return to the N router, I went in routing advanced and added an entry for 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 Gateway 10.1.1.254 for 'LAN and Wireless.

  So far so good.

  I can connect to G and N networks just fine and can go out to the net with both of them.  I can get the network from the N G very well.  When I'm in trouble becomes the network N to G.

  I returned to the G router and turned off all security settings (Block anonymous Internet, Multi filter, filter Internet NAT) but just can't see what I'm doing wrong.

  I can't even ping the router 192.168.1.1.

  Of course, I would be grateful for any help or suggestion!

  Thank you

  Dan

  Try to set the router G 'Router' mode, rather than in "Gateway" mode
