Cisco Connect installation WIN 8

Trying to install Cisco Connect for E1200 connected to new WIN 8 desktop.  I have downloaded latest WIN 8 rev.   Want to retrieve my password info long forgotten.  Cisco Connect won't install unless I have username and password.   Help - I am lost!

If your router was already setup and you decided to install cisco connect to retrieve the password, it will not work. The only time that Cisco Connect will be able to provide this information is if you already installed Cisco Connect before the router was configured.
What you can do is to reset the router back to factory default then run the Cisco Connect software. Bear in mind that once you reset the router, you will temporarily lose the internet connectio until cisco connect will be done doing the configuration. But just in case you need to do manual setup, you may also check these links on how to set up the internet with cable or DSL internet connection:

  • Can't see USB printer option in Cisco Connect

    Just fired up an e4200 router and was realy easy and everything working great HOWEVER I can a Canon MP490 printer that I have connected to the router via USB and Cisco Connect is only showing Wireless Printers as a connection option!!
    I am on a MAC using OS X 10.7, have Cisco Connect Version 1.4 (12005.2) and the firmware updated today.
    Any ideas?

    The Windows version has an option for "Printers" that leads to options for a wireless printer and a USB printer after Cisco Connect Installation where as in Mac you will get the only option for wireless. Since, Cisco Connect does not have an added feature of providing USB printing with the MAC OX.

  • E1200 V2 upgraded to OS 10.8.2, Cisco Connect unsupported OS, also update firmware?

    I purchased myu E1200 Jan 2012. Have been intermittent loss of connection & not sure whether it is old cable modem or router or? ISP came out & checked & changed some cable fittings said looked ok, but could be my old modem. (I'm getting ready to move out of area so don't want to buy a new modem now). But also a lot of my neighbors w Cox report intermittent loss of connection.
    I will get messages saying I'm not connected to internet. Usually if i go up & turn off wireless & then turn it back on, it will search & find my router.  Frequently though I notice that when I check it has switched to my guest rather than primary for some reason.
    I was having some of this before I even went to wifi a yr ago. 
    Just upgraded to Mountain Lion a couple weeks ago or so. Last night computer had a panic. I received advice to make sure all software as well as router firmware up to date. Found & updated MacBookPro Firmware update. Backed up.
    Opened CiscoConnect & got message unsupported Operating System.
    Reading about upgrading firmware, saw warnings about doing it hard wired or it could permanently damage router. Because of the intermittent connectivity problems & the warning, I think I would be safest to do this  manually by downloading it 1st & then updating the firmware from the download.
    I see that instructions say to determine Firmware version. & it also says it will ask for router IP address. I'm guessing all that was in Cisco Connect. I know it has my passwords, but now I can't get to it. It also says I can use the web set up page to get the current firmware version. For updates (but it says for pc) it shows 8/2011 & 8/2012. Since mine was purchased in 1/2012 & unless it self updated, I'm guessing it is running the 8/2011 firmware. But just noticed in the User Guide it says that when I run Cisco Connect it checks for updates & installs them.  But that's kind of interesting w all the warnings about running it w a wired connection to make sure no interruptions.  Not sure how I have it set up, but I usually set software updates to prompt me so I can control when they actually run.
    Once I have gotten that, will I be able to manually download the appropriate firmware version? Or if I click on that, will that start a set up or update process?
    If I download Cisco Connect, will it update the already installed version, keeping all my existing info?  & then will that be compatible w Mountain Lion & then show me whether the firmware needs to be updated?
    Kathi

    But anyway, I can't even open the old version!!! I just get a message about unsupported OS! So kind of hard to uninstall if I can't open it.
    & for some reason when I was installing Mountain Lion, upgrading from Snow Leopard it found an old version of Parallels which I knew was not compatible.  Didn't even think about this.
    Its sort of working but something is not working very well. I sure wish I hadn't listened to those who said to save the $ & not get the Apple Airport Express. Their stuff works & its not hard to set up like this!
    This is SO LAME!!!
    & Where is lists the info, I have so far found NO INFO about updating. I usually have my software set to notify me so I control when it updates. & I think the last times I was in Cisco Connect it was under pressure just trying to get the router working again.
    Right now I feel like throwing it at something.
    Well, I have twice tried to download from the list for my model & when I click on the set up icon I get a message that "Setup" is damaged and can't be opened. You shold eject the disk image." But when I click for more info it says:

  • Can Cisco connect be used for small business web filtering?

    I am searching for a web filtering solution for our small church.  The core requirement is to use a hardware-based solution to filter all internet traffic.  Our current wiring looks like this: [ISP router] --> [switch] --> [Open Mesh wireless access points].  Can I connect a Linksys EA2700/3500/4500/6500 between the [ISP router] and the [Switch], disable the Linksys wireless, and use Cisco Connect to filter all the internet traffic?
    More info: We will only have a handful of wired/wireless devices which we have control over.  We expect most of the rest of the traffic to be generally outside our control via personally owned devices connecting thru the public wifi.  Therefore any solution which requires installation of software on individual devices will not work.
    (If there are other threads on this topic I'd be more than happy to read them, I just couldn't find any.)
    Thanks!!

  • Windows 8.1 and Cisco Connect Incompatable

    I've upgrades a couple of PC's to Windows 8.1.  Upon discovering the printer attached to my E4200 v1 by its USB port was not showing after the upgrade, I re-ran Cisco Connect to re-install the printer.
    ----At this point I'd like to say up front that the E4200 is running the latest firmware, and I am using the latest Cisco Connect available - albeit 2 years old.-----
    Cisco Connect gets as far as the USB Printer connect button before displaying an error page telling me "our customer support can help" and giving a link to a support page that doesn't work.  Typical Cisco I fear.......
    Digging deeper, the Windows Device Manager is showing the system device SXUPTP driver has been blocked from loading, quote:
    "The software for this device has been blocked from starting because it is known to have problems with Windows. Contact the hardware vendor for a new driver. (Code 48)
    Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available."
    Clicking on "Check for solutions" doesn't find one (typical Microsoft), and letting Windows search for a newer driver doesn't find anything either.
    Both PC's, a laptop and a desktop, are the behaving the same - so not a PC issue.  Both worked with Windows 8.0.
    So what's the story Cisco?  We need a Connect update, or at least a fixed driver - when will we see this?
    Thnx.

    Ok - no thanks to Cisco, I seemed to have found an answer.  This is unofficial, do at your own risk.  Creating a system restore point first would be sensible.
    The clue is the Cisco SXUPTP driver is copyright to Silex.  The E4200 must have a Silex chip on board to talk to the USB port, and the SXUPTP driver on the PC is what talks to the chip.  I visited the Europe Silex site (the US site is harder to get through - it wants you to know which Silex chip you've got as a starting point) at:
    http://www.silexeurope.com/en/home/support/productgroups/common-downloads/
    I downloaded SX-Virtual Link 3.12.0 dated 29.05.2013 (05/29/2013 in US speak).  This downloaded a zip file called s-33a3120a.zip. I unzipped the contents and ran Cosetup.exe to install.  After a restart I now have a functioning SXUPTP driver 3.7.1.0.  (Forget what the original Cisco one was - 3.5.0.0?)
    Ran Cisco Connect again, and all proceeded as normal.  Printer re-installed.
    The Silex setup program also installs a piece of software called SX Virtual Link, which seems to offer some low level control over the link to the E4200 USB port.  I haven't had a play with this.
    So why did I have to hack my way through this?  Why didn't Cisco post Windows 8 updates BEFORE it was released, let alone 8.1?  NOT impressed.

  • Cisco should include Linux in Cisco Connect Software

    I'm a fan of Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. I know Cisco took time adopting Mac to "Network Connect Pro" which is now,
    Cisco Connect. I feel the time has come to include Major Linux Distros in Cisco Connect, so that all my Computers, are afforded the same secure platform for networking.
    Does anyone know if Cisco has plans to implement Linux? I'd certainly like to hear opinions, regarding this scenario!
    Regards,
    John C

    Since there are so many flavors of Linux, it is tough to make a "Linux" implementation of anything.  And since the market is divided, it is hard to pick the distributions.  Worse, you have to decide if it will use KDE, GNOME, or some other WM look-and-feel.
    Have you tried running Cisco Connect in an emulator like WINE?  (I haven't. I'm just wondering)
    You should also post this suggestion in the Cisco Home Community, http://homecommunity.cisco.com

  • Trouble installing Cisco Connect for E4200

    I just got a new E4200 router and downloaded Cisco Connect from the web site...file name CiscoConnect.E4200.1.4.11160.2.exe. When I try to run it, I find through Task Manager that Setup.exe is using about 35 to 40% CPU, but I'm never even getting to anything on the screen, nor is Task Manager even showing it as a running application. I'm running Windows XP SP3 (latest updates). I tuned off the AVG virus scan. But it still just seems to hang. Any ideas? BTW, I used the web interface to fully configure the router and it works fine so I could get by without Cisco Connect, but it might just be easier to use. Thanks. -Bruno

    I suppose I've waited five to ten minutes.
    This isn't Cisco Connect... it's the install Setup. I tried running it from the CD that came with the router and that one first had me agree to the terms, then it said it was downloading updates and just hung there... but I could see that it had given up actually downloading from the net. When I tried to install from the downloaded setup (not CD), it never got to any user interface.
    I'll try again tomorrow and wait longer. But what would it be doing that would suck up CPU time so heavily. It's only an installation setup. BTW, both version sucked up CPU time and the Task Manager said it was Setup.exe that was doing it.

  • Install cisco connect on multiple computers

    Hello all,
    I've installed the cisco connect software on my laptop because I thougt it was only for the installation of the router. But now I found that you can also change settings with the software.
    So I want to install the software on my desktop pc. But everytime I start up the software it wants to set up my router for the first use.
    Isn't is possible to install the software on multiple computers?
    Greetings,
    Timo

    I was interested in installing this utility on more than on PC at home so I called Cisco tech support. Let me tell you Cisco's customer service quality is not what it used to be. The rude representative who I ended up talking to said, I cannot install Cisco Connect on more than one PC. Then she kept telling me my free tech support 90 day period is over. Once I heard that, I forgot why I'd called them in the first place as it hasn't been even 30 days since I bought the router.
    Anyways, next day I tried to chat with Cisco support. First person said I can then since I had lost my confidence, I chatted again and this time the second person I chatted with told me "YES you can install it on more than one PC". Honestly, I don't trust them and have to continue my research. I am very interested in the answer.

  • Cisco Connect didn't install properly

    I just bought an E2000 and used the supplied CD to set it up with my wired desktop. The router works with the wired computer, but the Cisco Connect software didn't fully install. It thinks it's installed, it created a folder in "Program Files", but there's no executable to run. I can't uninstall it so I can't reinstall it. OS is Windows XP. Previously had a WRT54G.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks for the reply. I have SP3. The Cisco Connect shortcut is there but the executable is not there. I've searched for it. I already tried resetting the router but the software still didn't install. The GUI completes the "searching for the network" part then just disappears, and the software never finishes installing. The router works, but I can't administer it.  I've tried using the web (192.168.1.1) but it won't except "admin" as the password. Does anyone know of a different pwd for the E2000?  I might have to try a physical connection with my laptop (Windows 7) to get it setup right, but I'm worried that it's the installation CD and I'll get half-installed software on that machine also.

  • 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.

  • E2500 Router Cisco Connect Guest Only

    I have a laptop running Windows Vista.  I had to reformat the laptop recently and when I tried to connect to the wifi internet it only lets me connect as a guest.  I feel this is not as secure.  What do I need to do to be able to connect to the more secure side of the network?  I tried to reinstall from the CD but couldn't.  And I accidentally deleted the "Cisco Connect" from the memory key I used for the original install.  Thanks in advance for your help.
    Bob

    I tried what you suggested & it didn't work.  I used the "Cisco Connect" key on the problem laptop and it got up to 25% install & then I got the message that I needed to contact your website.  What's odd is that my son's laptop (an IMac) & my laptop (Win 7)  connect fine to the secure router.  But on the problem laptop we have to connect to "guest" every time we want to get on the internet.  On the "Connect to Network" window, it says the secure router is connected but it's an "Unidentified network."  Please advise.  Thanks for you help!

  • 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!

    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.
