Cisco linksys e1000

Thank you for helping me out - I was able to backup the routers configurations to memory/flash drive. Does this saved file contain ALL router settings? The saved file extension is .cfg. I have been told that any program that opens text files will work. I tried to open it with MS Word - no luck. What is the best way to open this file and see how it was originally configured (somebody else installed it). Thanks!

I don't think that these file are made to be read.  They're just for saving and restoring.  So I don't know if there's any way to "look" at a .cfg file except by restoring it on a router.  Kind of circular.  It would be cool if there were a router emulation where you could load a configuration file into it and then look at the resulting settings, but I'm not aware of that if it exists.  Or even a program that you would tell what router type that you have, point it at a .cfg file, and it would tell you what the settings in the .cfg file are.  There may be such a thing, but again, I've never seen it.

  • Wii connection problems CISCO LINKSYS E1000

    I am trying to connect to my wii with my wireless routed it is a cisco linksys e1000 and and I tried connect and it said error so I went to manual set up.and couldn't figure out the codes to enter I couldn't find the disco codss on the nintendo website. Please help me I.really wanna.connect my wii to the Internet

    Well the situation is not well elaborated. What is the exact ERROR you are getting while trying to connect your Wii? What code are you talking about? It might be asking to put 8 digits pin number which is on the Linksys E1000 itself.

  • Cisco Linksys E1000 Connection to Verizon Router

    OK here is the situation.  I spent two with a verizon tech on the following issue.
    I have new PC, windows 7, that I have connected via wireless Trendnet 150Mbps Mini Wireless N USB Adapater. The spped is less than 5Mbps download and upload.  My verizon plan is 25Mbps.  In the end it was determine that the verizon technology is g format and the adapter is n technology. The computer directly hard wired to the verizon router gets 30Mbps speed.
    Bought a Cisco Linksys E1000 N technology router to connect to the Verizon router.
    Connected to router and could not get any internet even though the signal strength was extremely good.
    Got any suggestion on how to get this to work.
    I am dying with this problem,

    When connecting the E1000 router to your fios one, i would use one of the 4 LAN ports and not the WAN port to make the Ethernet connection between the two. Then go into the router web page of the E1000 (192.168.1.X) and make sure that the DHCP server is disabled.
    Now for your speed problem. Even with wireless G you should still be fine as it can tranfer much faster than 5Mbps. The problem could be that the Trendnet usb adapter has a pretty tiny radio and your connection slows way down as you move away from the the wifi source.

  • Cisco Linksys E1000 - Lag Spike about every 10 seconds.

    Hello,
    Hopefully this is the right place to ask such a question. I recently purchased a Cisco Linksys router, as I was having problems with the main connection and my computer. The router works almost fine and acts as a bridge between the original router, and my computer.
    I have a Westell Versalink plugged into the DSL phone cord. The Versalink is connected to my Cisco router, and the Cisco router is connected to my computer... All using cables.
    Basically, it's Versalink -> Cisco -> Computer.
    It works almost great, except I keep receiving huge lag spikes every 10 seconds, when trying to run something that requires a constant connection. (In my case, a game. It will lag every 10 seconds.)
    I'm not sure I setup the Cisco router to properly work the way I want it to, thus the lag.
    It used to be far worse, but I setup the PPoP login on the Cisco router independent of the fact that it's already connected on the Versalink.
    I need some advice on how to eliminate this lag so I can get a steady and smooth connection.
    Before anyone starts giving me Wireless advice, this has NOTHING to do with the Wireless portion, that works fine. (But probably would experience the same lag.)
    This is happening regardless, and I need it fixed.
    Yet again, I'll type out my layout here:
    DSL / Phone -> Versalink -> Cisco Router -> Computer
    I believe the problem exists in the Cisco router. I'm amazed that I was even able to get it to work how I did to begin with. However, I need some additional help.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

    Ice Sage,
    I would do a little more research on the internet regarding ALL Cisco Linksys routers... the issue you are seeing is normal of thier routers right now.. and one they have not been willing to fix... The Linksys router you have ... in reality is actually the WRT160N with a few tweaks in the firmware... If you look at the specs, the E1000 is not the best router to play your video games with or HD Movies... you really wanted the E3000
    BUT .... that also has that same issue as well but more pronounced... as well as over heating... if you take your router off you will see the lag goes away.

  • Cisco-Linksys Router and no PPPOA Option for Conne...

    Hi all! 
    New here and just hoping to get some here!
    We are using a BT Business hub Router and it is having a few issues with wireless connectivity, so I would like to use another router to see if it is our equipment or if it is the router itself.
    I have a Cisco Linksys E1000 Router and after looking at the BT router I can see that the connection type is set to PPPOA with a username and password. I do know the username and password so that isnt an issue, however on the Cisco router there is no option for PPPOA, the only options are:
    Static IP, DHCP, PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP, and BigPond
    There is a connection in the back of the cisco router for the ADSL cable, I was just wondering if there is a way to work around this?
    Thanks very much!!

    I am sure you will get help there when someone has time.

  • I'm having trouble using a Linksys E1000 Router

    I purchased a Mac in November. Love it so far with a few minor exceptions.
    I changed routers because I was having speed/connection issues.
    Switched from a Netgear to a Cisco Linksys E1000 which I had purchased a couple of years ago for a PC that i replaced with the mac. The software with the Linksys says it cant be used with the version of the new mac Mac OS X 10.7.2.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,

    I gave up on Linksys some time ago. I had a lot of trouble with their routers, and a very frustrating useless experience trying to get tech support help. I found one a few days ago while doing some spring cleaning and threw it out. Not worth the trouble.
    I got a refurbished airport express and it works great.

  • Toshiba Thrive tablet connects to Linksys E1000, but can't browse internet

    HELP!  I bought my wife a Toshiba Thrive 16GB tablet for Christmas and have spent 3 hours being bounced back and forth between Toshiba and Cisco support! 
    I have a wireless network with a Linksys E1000 router.  I'm using WPA2 Personal security, MAC filtering is turned off, and all other settings are basically default.  I have updated it to the latest firmware version (2.1.02).  I have 2 laptops, a wireless access point for my DirecTV DVR and WII (with a switch in-between) and an Apple IPhone 4.  All of these devices have NO problem connecting wirelessly to the router and browsing the Internet.
    I set the tablet up, connected to my network (checked the password and security settings 6 times).  The tablet shows that it is connected to my local network.  However, when I try to access the Internet, it hangs.  Fortunately, there is some idiot in the neighborhood who has an unsecured network.  I connected the tablet to that network and VOILA! I was able to browse, download the latest updates for the tablet, etc.
    So, I thought, OK, let's disable all security on my router, so I set the wireless security to "disabled".  Saved, and restarted.  The tablet STILL won't browse the internet!
    I'm tired of being tossed back and forth with techs who are clueless.  Has anyone had any problem similar to this with an Android-based device?
    I would think that if the tablet is accepted with its credentials that it would allow internet access!  One final thing that I tried was turning on MAC filtering and allowing access using the MAC address and that still didn't work.
    When I look at the details of the connection on the tablet, it shows a strong signal, the SSID name, and the IP address that it was assigned by DHCP.  I hope that someone can help, otherwise I'll have to go back to Best Buy and exchange it for some other tablet.  I purposely bought this one over the IPad2 because the battery can be swapped out for a freshly charged one and the memory can be upgraded to add up to 128GB with a SD memory card.
    Any help is appreciated as I have torn out the few remaining hairs on my head! <LOL>
    MIACLOCKMAN

    I'm replying to my own posting as I have solved the problem and wanted to post it in case anyone else has the same problem.  I would venture to say that upcoming updates to the Android system may solve this problem.
    For some reason, when the Thrive is set for DHCP ip addressing, it is not going out to the internet.  So, I changed the network profile to manual with a static IP address.  I also input the router address and DNS addresses with the router's IP address.  As soon as I saved the changes it was magic.  The tablet connected and internet speed was lightning fast.
    So, anyone having problems, give this a try as you'll not get anywhere with Cisco or Toshiba support.

  • Linksys E1000 suddenly stopped connecting PPPOE

    Hey...I have a Linksys E1000 router just upgrade to the latest 2.1.0.2 firmware...I have a PPPoE connection which used to run smoothly on the router..however off late...suddenly the router stopped connecting..it always shows "connecting" in the status tab of the router page...and eventually says failed to obtain IP address...however when I attach the cable directly into my PC it works just fine.
    I also had a word with my internet provider...he's kept the MAC open (or something like that)  so he said that isn't the issue and he keeps saying there must be some issue with the router. However, occasionally the router DOES connect for half hour or so and then just refuses to connect again !..
    I'm not sure as to what the problem is...I did see a similar post in the forum with the exact same problem but there was no solution given in that post! Also, all three lights on the router are present when I connect the cable to the router!
    Please help!

    I believe something is not working well here on the router, I suggest you update the firmware then reset the router (press the reset button) then manually reconfigure it. You may download the firmware from this site, http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/routers/E1000

  • Linksys E1000 cannot ping gateway unless I unplug/replug WAN

    I have been using this router for the last six months and never had a single problem. Then yesterday out of nowhere internet stopped working and I was not able ping my ISP gateway (both wired and wireless) [Received: Destination host not reachable on both Windows Vista / 7]. Rebooted the router but still no luck. Unplugged / Replugged the net connection from the WAN port and then finally ping was successful.
    Now the weird this is every time I power on the router the Internet does not work and ISP Gateway seems not reachable, but if I unplug/replug the WAN connection the ping reply starts and internet works without any problem.
    I have updated the firmware to the latest version (2.1.02 build 5May 6, 2011), disabled SPI  firewall and tried changing the MTU value but still no luck.
    Another unusual thing I have noticed is that during the router boot up the WAN port LED blinks a lot faster than usual. After I unplug/replug the wan connection the blinking rate seems to be normal.

    My ISP Gateway uses a completely different IP address 172.16.x.x, while my router has the default IP setup 192.168.1.1. The thing is I am able to ping the router IP, but not the ISP Gateway IP unless I unplug/replug WAN.
    I googled around quite a bit yesterday and found that others have also had similar problem.

  • Need help configuring Cisco/Linksys wireless router to extend wi-fi signal to living room

    My U-verse wireless gateway is in the back of our house. We live in an old 1920's home with solid wood walls. For our macbooks, we get a pretty decent signal, but my wife's iPad 2 get's poor wi-fi speeds. I bought a Cisco/Linksys WRT160N wireless N broadband router. I have a wired connection in my living room (going to a 4 port switch) then connected to my DVR. I tried hooking up the new router but ended up getting no signal on the iPad. In fact, it caused other issues. I ended up disconnecting it and re-booting my gateway. All came back fine. This wireless router replaces a similar unit that went out in after a power failure, so I know this can be done, but I forget exactly how I confiured the old one. I would like it to "extend" my signal to the living room, but I am also willing to create a new network (different SSID). Do I need to turn of DHCP? Are there any web sites that can assist me in configuring the router? I wish I didn't have to deal with this. The signal from the RG is great when you are in the back room (20+ down). But my wife gets about 3 down on her iPad in the living room. Thanks in advance.

    Hi ,
    I was doing some research on how this can be done. It does not appear there is an option in the Cisco router to set it up as an access point, but there are several options you can do to extend your network. 
    The first thing you can do is just set it up as a router behind router setup, and you will just have two separate networks. Make sure the DHCP pool does not conflict with the U-verse's gateway of 192.168.1.x. 
    The second thing you can do is connect the Ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports on your Cisco router instead of using the internet port. This should make it work like a smart switch. 
    With both setups, you want to probably change the SSID, network key, and wireless security settings to the same thing for wireless roaming abilities. That way, anyone that configures their wireless connection will be connected to both networks. Just make sure the wireless channels are not the same, and I would suggest having them at least 5 apart.
    Hope this helps.

  • Cisco Linksys E3000 - Open DNS Error

    I just purchased a Cisco Linksys E3000 and got it set up pretty much the way I want it. My only remaining problem is I wish to used Open DNS as my DNS server. On Line chat support says,"Please access router set up. Under the set up tab you will see the option for DNS1 and DNS2 please change it to 208.87.222 & 208.67.220 and save settings". I replied"I am on the basic set up page and currently I see Static DNS 1 thru 3 which are currently all zeros is that where you want me to put the new DNS numbers?"
    I made the changes as directed, saved and also flushed the DNS cache in Windows and in Firefox, rebooted and everything worked great.
    The problem is if the computer goes to sleep or is shut down when it restarts it cannot find the DNS server! What am I missing?
    Thanks

    Thanks for your help. This one really has me baffled
    As you can see below the static DNS is set to 3 adddresses for Open DNS and everthing works fine.untill either the computer goes to sllep or is shut down. Then the router can no longer locate a DNS server. The only way I can find to get everything working again is to zero out the address for Open DNS and reboot the router which somehow reestablises the DNS servers as:
    DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . 156.154.119.11
                                           156.154.129.11
                                           192.168.1.1
    You can also this below and I hope you have some idea of what is happening. I never had this problem before with any other routers on this system.
    Thanks,
    Chick

  • My Cox Cable/Telephone splits to a telephone modem and a broadband modem.  The BB connects via ethernet to a Cisco Linksys E2500 wi-fi (whatever).  Can I plug my usb printer into the E2500, configure, and then print from my iPad?

    I have just purchased an iPad 2.  I have wi-fi for roku and have connected the iPad to it.  I want to print to my usb printer.  My connection is:  Cox Cable spit to telephone and broadband.  The broad band feed goes to a Cox modem and feeds the wi-fi.  The Cisco Linksys E2500, wi-fi's the Roku and iPad.  Can I USB from the wi-fi to the printer, configure (however), and then print from my iPad?
    If not, how?
    All comments will be appreciated.

    the ipad cannot airprint to a non airprint printer.... i think that the only solution is to install helper software on a computer that has an attached printer and share it through the computer only...computer would have to be always left on

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500a prints slowly over wireless on Cisco Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Router EA6500

    I have the HP Officejet Pro 8500a. I recenrly change my wiress router to the Cisco Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Router EA6500.
    Nearly every time I print, the documement remains "pending" for at least several minutes, sometimes as long as 20, until it finally starts printing. Once it starts printing, the document is printed quickly.
    It doesn't matter the size of the document and the time it remains "pending." I've done test pages with just the word "test" in a Microsoft Word document, and it will remain in "pending" for well over five minutes.
    If I print over the USB cord, there are no delays.
    I need help. I can't figure out how to remedy this long delay when printing wirelessly.
    On a side note in case this is helpful, the Linksys router does have a priority setting where you can select up to three devices for priority access (faster connection?), which seems to be more for bandwidth-intensive devices. I tried adding both the laptop I'm printing from and the printer to this priority list, but that did not improve the print connection speed.
    Advice please! Thank you.

    Hi Jim-Gr,
    I understand you have an Officejet 8500A that has started printing very slowly after switching routers. I'm sorry to hear this has happened but will certainly do my best to assist you.
    I appreciate you advising that you have tried connecting the printer via USB and it does make a huge difference. I'm also assuming your previous router didn't go this slowly either. With the things you have tried, my assumption is that it's a setting in the router that needs to be changed. If you're not sure how to change things in your router you can generally call the router company and they will walk you through it.
    First you will want to ask them if there are any firmware updates for your router, if there are have them perform the update. If it is up to date already then have them make sure your router is broadcasting at a frequency of 2.4 GHz as that's the only frequency the printer works with.
    Second, you will want to make sure the following ports are open:
    UDP: 427, 161, 137, 138
    TCP: 9100, 9220, 9500, 137, 139, 427
    Once all of this is updated, then I would suggest you power cycle everything (turn off the printer and the PC, pull the power on the router for 30 seconds and then turn the other two back on once lights are back to normal) and try again. This should allow your printing speed to go back to normal
    Hope this helps, have a great day!

  • Linking Cisco Linksys E3000 uPnP media server to non uPnP Home Theater system

    Hi,
    I have a Cisco Linksys E3000 Wireless Router. My home theater system does not have uPnP capabilities. That is it doesn't have the uPnP client like a PS3 or a Wii.
    Is there a uPnP client that I can buy for the specific purpose of connecting to my home theater system via ethernet.
    The resulting connection graph will be as follows: NAS (via USB) to E3000, E3000 to uPnP client (using ethernet), uPnP client to Home Theater system using audio in or HDMI.
    Thanks for your help! 

    If your Home Theater system has Ethernet port then I think you can try wireless bridge ( WET610N ) to make it wireless.
