Advanced Configuration vs Cisco Connect

I just bought and configured a new Linksys E3000 and found out you cannot change or modify the Guest Wireless settings outside of Cisco Connect (i.e. how many guest users allowed, guest password, guest SSID, etc.). Being a network engineer I quickly skipped the Cisco Connect setup and went straight to Advanced Configuration for more control and customization of the router features and functions. Also once you use Advanced Configuration you cannot go back to the dumbed down Cisco Connect to access the guest settings. What gives? I would think you could do everything in Advanced Configuration (and them some) that you could configure in Cisco Connect...

the cisco connect was made for you to sert up the router quickly . like it said easy set up . if you use the set up page of your router and do the set up there . yes you may do so . but for the internet connection only .but for the wireless settings you can use the cisco connect for the wireless set up .
the reason why it has cisco connect and has the feature for guest access coz so that your guest will have a different profile and they will not be able to mess up your internal connection . guest access is an unsecured network henc when you launch a browser that will ask for a password . which means that it is still secured

E1000 won't connect to Cisco Connect or the Web based set up

My router is working fine but I cannot connect to Cisco Connect or the web based advanced features now. I know I broke the cardinal rule by using advanced set up so that explains why Cisco connect won't work. But I can't figure out why I can't connect to the advanced web based utility now. Who made the decision to put some features in cisco connect but not include those features in advanced settings? And then if you use advanced settings cisco connect no longer works. This is such a turn off I'm actually thinking about returning the thing to Best Buy. That's like saying "if you open the hood of your car and touch anything parts of your car will no longer function". I call support and they repeat what they read on paper "reset the router and start over and don't use advanced settings". What a pain in the &^%$.

I've reinstalled the router again and just switched the ssid and password where it was before so all the devices in our home can connect. I first shut down the guest account using Cisco Connect (which is the only place you can control the guest account) and now I just use the advanced settings. So of course Cisco connect no longer works. I've got a strong signal all over our home. No disconnection issues at all. But this software design that puts some features in one part and other features in advanced and then shuts down cisco connect if you use advanced is insane. If I knew cisco was planning a firmware upgrade to give the advanced mode everything cisco connect has and more then I'd keep this thing. For the life of me I cannot understand why any software engineer would come up with such a design as this. And quite honestly I tried to play by their goofy rules of not using advanced settings and cisco connect died after about 4 uses. Never would connect again. Just said call support (in India) and after telling your life's story to someone simply being told to hit the reset button, power off and start the process all over again. If anyone at Cisco reads this stuff I think I have a legitimate complaint. Why on earth would you put features in Cisco Connect that aren't in advanced and why would you stop running Cisco connect just because I hard coded some mac addresses in advanced mode? I would love to know the logic behine such a crazy implementation of software.

How to configure one dsl connection and one public ip in cisco router and map to one interface for using exchange server

how to configure one dsl connection and one public ip in cisco router and map to one interface for using exchange server

Hi ,
Have you got any additional public IP Address from your service provider , If yes on router you can have static route for those additional IP Address pointing to your ASA outside interface .
Accordingly you can configure NAT

E3000 "Cisco Connect" install?

How smart is "Cisco Connect?
I am about to install a new E3000 for my LAN
and have doubts about using "CC" vs manual setup,
But would like to use it if it helps with my limited skills.
There are 3 desktops wired and a laptop to be wireless.
Modem/Router is DSL-DHCP CenturyLink/Embarq- Zyxel EQ-660R.
Mixed OS's: WXP, W7(rarely use), W2K(?work), Linux(rarely).
Present router Linksys BEFSR41 in Gateway mode(could never
get it to do DHCP) with fixed IP for each computer.
Oddly, I've used NetBEUI for LAN, but will remove this.
Questions about "CC":
1. From what I read, it appears to want to do PPPoE for
   DSL service. Will it detect or can it be set for DHCP service?
2. Does it do all the OS Windows network configuration, or
   should this be done manually before install.
3. Can I use it for the initial set-up, especially wireless
   which I've never done, then later go back to change PPPoE
   to DHCP, realizing that it will then no longer work.
4. I would like to avoid bridging modem, but have users of E3000
   had better results with this.
Thanks in advance for your help.

First, you have to set your modem/router to take care of PPPoE so you won't have a problem with E3000. Make sure you have your username and password for PPPoE.
1. You can set it to DHCP as long as PPPoE is being handled by the modem/router.
2. You have to set all computers to obtain IP automatically and remove the static IP.
3. Yes. CC is intended for the initial setup, even before connecting to the internet.
4. You need to cascade the routers since you have E3000 connected to a modem/router.
In case CC won't work. I'd suggest you do the manual thing. Here's the procedure for cascading routers and DSL connection. In cascading the routers, use the Internet-LAN connection.

Cannot get Cisco Connect to install or set up E1000 router

1. We have been using an E1000 router connected to our main Dell desktop (running XP SP3) to handle a small home network that includes wife's laptop which has card and kids' desktop with USB wireless adapter.
2. We purchased a new main desktop computer, ZT Systems running Windows 7. I am attempting to install Cisco Connect on this computer and set up the router. I reset it to factory specifications because I figured I'd have to start from step 1.
3. I cannot find the original setup CD that came with the router and I have no clue whatsoever what my password is.
4. So, I downloaded CiscoConnect.E1000.1.3.11069.2, the appropriate software to my desktop, and have been trying to install the software and configure the router, without any success whatsoever. When I plug it in, it asks me to connect the router which I do. It then will get to 25 percent of setup and stop, saying it couldn't be configured. At the same time, I have no Internet access, keeps telling me it's looking for networks when I actually am trying to set up a network.
5. I've tried the steps for configuring without the software, Windows still searches for a network and tells me it can't find one and I have no Internet access.
6. Can anyone tell me what's going on here, what I'm doing wrong, anything I'm missing? Do I need to just buy another router or what? Thanks in advance for any help.

Does your desktop have wireless? If so, switch it off and retry the installation. Make sure to reset the E1000 by holding the reset button for about 10 seconds.

Cisco Connect setup stuck at 90% Linksys E900

Hi,
Today evening i had to restart my routers settings and I also formatted (don't know if it's a good word in english, i mean recovering operating system) my disk and now i can't install Cisco Connection Again on my laptop (win8). The setup process is always stuck at 90% (after few or more minutes there's message that configurating failed...), what's wierd is that i can explore the internet and use settings of router in web browser ( http://192.168.1.1 ) when setup is stuck. After getting "FAIL message" i cant use internet anymore.
I beg for your help! ;<
Thanks in advance.

Do you want to use the Cisco Connect software? If not, then you can always go for manual troubleshooting. Linksys designe cisco connect as a tool to help manage the router. If you need to use it, I suggest that you download the software from the linksys website and start all over again. Before you run the software, reset the router first for 10 seconds, reboot the router and once it's ready run cisco connect.
Just make sure that you do not have any firewalls enabled or antivirus software that may interfere with the setup process. Again if you don't need the software jsut go with manual troubleshooting. You always have different options.

E3000 FTP access question/using Cisco connect after router setup

I have two questions about my E3000 router.
1. If I have already set up my router using the default web address, if I use the Cisco connect software, do I gain any benefit or am I opening up a can of worms? I would like to change my server name and default admin user name stuff, but I don't want to screw with any settings I have. I will be updating my firmware in a day or so, so should I use the software then, or just go about it the way I have already?
2. I have enables FTP access for my USB drive, but I am unsure how to access it from a remote computer. I know using ftp://xxx.xxx.x.x gets me to my Index while connected to my network, but how do I access this off my network? I want to give our parents and family access to pictures, but I''m not sure of the exact address to use. I have looked in the set-up manual, and searched Google and this site, and have found nothing.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Dan

If you have configured your Router using the Cisco Connect software, then you it secure your wireless network with an password. If you have any firewall and antivurs software on your router then it will protect your computers against worms.
To use the FTP feature of your router you need to enable ftp login on your router, which you will find under the storage tab of your router.

Cisco Connect won't connect to E2000 router

I've had an E2000 router set up and working fine for years. Today I tried to connect to it with Cisco Connect, as I'd like to enable a separate guest network (incidentally, if there's a way to do this through the web management interface, please let me know!). However, the software fails to connect to the router; the progress bar gets to 25% and then eventually times out. I've tried from multiple computers on the network, both wired and wireless, with the same results. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi A_Generic_User. I believe there's no way to configure the Guest network through the web ui. What you can do is try using the software that you can download from their site. Make sure to turn off any firewall on the computer when running the software to avoid conflict. Also, I suggest that you run the downloaded software on a wired PC to avoid wireless interference. Here is the link to the software, http://support.linksys.com/en-us/support/routers/E2000/download . Hope this helps.

E1550 - Error code 82BD0119, Cisco Connect gives connection timeout error during setup

During setup, after 90% completion I get "adapter connection timeout period expired". I'm unable to configure my router.
I downloaded the lates Cisco Connect software and tried that as well but I get the same problem.
Operating System : Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 (32 bit).
Any help will be apreciated. Thanks.

I believe you have a static IP address assigned in the computer. Here are the steps to check for the wireless:
~~ Go to Wireless network connection properties.
~~ Click On Internet protocol TCP/IP and go to properties.
~~ Select 'Obtain IP address automatically' and 'Obtain DNS server automatically'.
~~ Click OK and then close.
Check for the Local Area Connection as well in the same procedure.
Then uninstall the existing Cisco connect software, reset the router.
Steps to reset the router:
Push the reset button on router for 30 seconds, turn off the router wait for 30 seconds and then power it on. After this process reconfigure the router. Power light should blink when you perform the reset process.
After performing the following steps install the Cisco connect again and check the status.

Cannot Access Advanced Configuration / Setup

I have two WVC54GCA cameras and was able to connect to them, set up passwords and view them on my wireless network. Nifty.
However, I now want to edit settings under "Advanced Configuration" so that I can see them remotely. I am able to access the cameras via their respective IP addresses, but advanced config prompts me for a password, which is apparently not the same password as what I use to access the video of the cameras.
The prompt is : A username and password are being requested by http://192.168.1.106. The site says: "Administration".
Is this even coming from the cameras, or could it be my Linksys wireless router?

By default the username and the password is "admin" in lower case.If you have changed the password then,you need to use that password...If that is not working then,you need to reset the Camera and try..
