Cisco Linksys E3000

Hi experts,
our company just bought a Cisco Linksys E3000 wireless router which we will be using as Access Point. So we connected the LAN port to vlan 10 which have DHCP but we static the IP, say 192.168.10.2/24, Gw=10.1 then the disabled the NAT. The router's IP is set to 192.168.20.2 and dhcp is disabled on the router since we wanted the 10.x dhcp to issue the ip to users. However we want to have a remote access and even if the remote access management is enabled, we cannot ping the 10.2 and web gui cannot connect. The only option we have is to connect a cross cable to one of its LAN port and connect to https://192.168.20.2 (the router's internal ip). we wanted to have remote access wirelessly. can someone help?
thanks

please move this question to the smb community or to linksys support.
Thanks.

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

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.

Linksys E3000 Port Flooding with Uverse DVR (IPTV)

I spent days trying to get a wireless router to work with my Uverse DVR. I have a router-behind-router configuration (ignoring the WAN port of the router & using it effectively as a switch) because my Uverse RG is in a remote section of the house and I have a CAT5 over to our entertainment room where I need two services: Uverse DVR and wireless network. I did exhaustive research and testing. The wireless router gave fantastic wireless performance, but as soon as I turned on the DVR, the ports would flood and the wireless network would become inactive. I could use the wireless network or watch TV, but not both at the same time. My router was a CISCO Linksys E3000 and I tried every type of tweak and configuration. I also tried two other Linksys routers I own (WRT610N & WRT54G) with the exact same results. I purchased a Netgear WNDR3700. By the technical specs, the E3000 and the WNDR3700 should be nearly identical. I quickly configured the Netgear WNDR3700 in the same exact router-behind-router configuration and it worked like a charm. I didn't need to any special configuration of DMZ, QOS or anything else on the Netgear. Other than the static IP for the router-behind-router, it was a plain vanilla configuration and set-up.
If anyone knows why the Linksys E3000 does not work, I would be curious to know, but it does not matter since my Netgear is working like a charm. I would also like to note that CISCO has been very helpful, but these things can be quite complex.

Hey kturner
I allmost have the same configuration like you(router behind router, - 1. router D-link 624, 2. router E3000.
The connection is as follows: ADSL to 1. router, cableconnecting switchport to 2. router (ADSL internet in) with first router
set to route LAN to LAN which gives an address on 2. router(E3000) 192.168.0.96 as in adress from the 1. router.
The E3000 then sets up it's own routingtable vithout any problem.
On the configurationspage you have to fill in at least the DNS 1. and if you haveallso DNS 2.
I've set my QoS via mac-address to my DVR and TV to high.
As both my TV and DVR is Samsung I had the problem with my TV and Samsungs Wireles Link System until
I turned it off.
And now it's all working: Streaming video from the HD on E3000
Hope itøs helpfull and god luck

Linksys E3000 cascaded, VoiP router not working

I have a Linksys E3000 router, with a Linksys SPA2012 VoIP router connected to it. I can't get the voice to work. The configuration is:
cable modem => cisco870 => Linksys E3000 => Linksys SPA2102
(the Linksys E3000 is connected to cisco871 via Internet port)
Everything works fine (ethernet, wireless) for all devices connected to cisco871 and E3000, EXCEPT for the VoIP phone. Is there a special configuration I need on the SPA2101 to get this to work?
Thanks in advance!

Cisco/Linksys Router Vulnerabilities

Hello,
I have an e3000 wireless router.. I am unable to disable wps on it.
The WPS vulnerability was exposed in December 2011, along with the reaver tool to exploit it.
https://threatpost.com/en_us/blogs/wifi-protected-setup-flaw-can-lead-compromise-router-pins-122711
Why is it that nearly a year later, that there hasn't been a firmware update allowing users to disable wps on their Cisco/Linksys routers?
Some have patches available, but judging by: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=3bccc46248f9417b909e2c1028f6778e_WPS.xml&pid=80&respid=0&snid=1&dispid=0&cpage=search
The majority do not.
Even more astounding is that refurbished models are still available through your homestore:
http://homestore.cisco.com/en-us/Routers/Linksys-E3000-HighPerformance-Wirelessn-router_stcVVproductId97826163VVcatId551966VVviewprod.htm
Why is it that I have to update a major security vulnerability through dd wrt or tomato?
I've bought and recommended Cisco products for a long time.. However, I cannot in good conscience do so any longer.
Why is it that Cisco cannot/will not support products that they have released?

I don't work for Cisco but as this is a Cisco forum, not a linksys forum, I doubt you are going to get much response.

Cisco Linksys Routers and Apple Products?

I have to seriously ask if there is simply an incompatibility between Cisco Linksys and Apple products?
I have both the WRT600N and the new E3000. Both are exhibiting the same behavior with my Apple products.
On the wireless connection, I am unable to get a download rate from the Internet, higher then maybe 1.2 - 1.5Mbps. Most of the time it is far lower. I am always using the same site for testing. www.speedtest.net and I always use the same testing server for Dallas, TX.
My ISP is Clear, and when going to www.speedtest.net while using the wired connection on my MacBook Pro, I get a download speed of between 5.5 and 8.2 Mbps.
The upload speed is not changed whether I am using the wired or wireless connection. I also notice the severe difference in speed when I use the Wi-Fi on my iPhone. My 3G connection is faster then the Wi-Fi...
So, is there an advanced config for the wireless that makes it behave better with Apple devices?
I have locked the config so far to 802.11g on the 2.4Ghz transceiver and 802.11n on the 5Ghz receiver. I have also set it not to broadcast the BSSID for either as I live in an apartment complex and I do not want to advertise my network to everyone else. I use WPA personal on the 802.11g network and WPA2 Personal on the 802.11n network.
The settings on the advanced wireless screen in the router config for my E3000 are the defaults.
I have tried nearly everything I can think of. I am now beseeching the help of the community at large in the hopes of gleaning some information that I did not already have. Also I hate the new Cisco Connect app.
On a side note, I was very disappointed to learn that while the WRT600N supported IPv6, the E3000 does not. As a result it seems my wired connection on the MacBook Pro is not performing as well as it did on the WRT600N.
If anyone from Cisco see's this, PLEASE re-add support for IPv6 to your routers. It makes no sense to move backwards now.

Which band you are using to connect the wireless computer...?
Is your other computers are working fine...?
If you are using 5GHz on the router to connect your Mac computer then,make sure the wireless adapter does support 5GHz.
Try the following settings...
Keep the Network Mode as "Mixed".For 2.4GHz...Set the Radio Band to Wide-40MHz and change the Wide channel to 9 and Standard Channel to 11-2.462GHz..For 5GHz...Set the Radio Band to Wide-40MHz and change the Wide channel to159 and Standard Channel to 161-5.805GHz.Click on Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...
Now,power cycle the router and check.

Linksys E3000 Connectivity Problems

I have a new Linksys E3000, 2 wired disktops (1 windows 7, 1 windows vista), 2 wireless laptops (both windows Vista), whenever the computers power down into sleep mode and are woke up, I have lost my connections to the router and I am forced to restart the computer. I've been told by one person that this is a problem with vista and windows 7, but wouldn't that have been a problem with my old router also?
any Ideas would be great, thanks.

At first I was having this problem with all the computers, I went into the Contro Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Manage Wireless Networks > (double clicked the router name) - when (router name Wireless Network properties box opened) > checked boxs Connected automatically when this network is in range (was already checked), Connect even if the network is not broadcasting and Enable intel connection settings (both of which were not already checked but are now).
After doing this I have not had a problem with the Laptops connecting. Both are running windows vista. I cannot find this setting in my Windows 7 machine so I tried simply setting my desktop to never go to sleep. this didn't fix the problem.
the adapter for the destop is Intel(R) 82578DC Gigabit Network Connetion.
I am using the Cisco connection software that came with the router.

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.

Linksys e3000 firmware update FAIL

I am trying to install the latest firmware (downloaded from cisco site) on our E3000.
I downloaded this file from their site....
I am using a Windows 7 Toshiba laptop.
Model name: Linksys E3000
Model number: E3000
Firmware version: 1.0.03 build 2
Operating system: Windows 7 SP 1
Software version: 1.3.11006.1
Connection type (WAN): DHCP
This is the downloaded file I am trying to use
This is the message I get immediately.

To safely update FW, I recommend doing the following:
1. Save router config to file first using IE or FF with all security add-ons disabled.
2. Factory reset the router with all other devices disconnected or turned OFF accept for 1 wired PC.
3. Reload or Update the FW using IE or FF. Just download the FW file to your local wired LAN PC.
4. Factory reset the router and then set up from scratch first and test with out loading the saved config from file.

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.

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.
Alan G. Watkins

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

I can't get to a specific website - Linksys E3000

Hello,
I have a Linksys E3000 and everything is working fine...until one day this last week. A website I go to all the time stopped working. The website is Martini in the Morning, www.martiniinthemorning.com. It's a great internet radio station. I listen to the station via other resoures, but I can't get to the website which has lots of features I use.
The specifics are that from any of the computers connected to our network, I can't reach the site. When I plug a computer directly into the Comcast modem, I can reach the site. I have changed nothing that I am conscious of and everything was working until Monday of this last week.
I thought it wasn't making it out of the router, but a TRACERT shows that I am. I have a desktop running Vista, 2 laptops running XP Pro, an iPad and none of them can connect to that site. My iPhone can't connect when it's on the network, but when it's on 3G, it can.
I know someone may ask me to attach the TRACERT listings, so here they are. I appreciate any and all suggestions.
Regards,
Irvin Johnson, Vancouver, WA

brickmonkey,
Thank you for your help. 1365 in the MTU did resolve the problem. I had fears my ip address had been banned for eternity ;-)
I power cycled the router, but did not reset to factory defaults and reconfigure. I think as long as it holds, I will leave well enough alone. One thing I don't understand is that I had it set to the default setting of 1500 since I bought the modem and it quit working last Tuesday. BUT.......... I've been in technology long enough (and retired from it now) that I know that things change and life happens.
Thank you brickmonkey and everyone else that offered help. I will mark it closed

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!

How do I set-up Linksys E3000 with Actiontec MI424WR

Hi,
I recently purchased a Linksys E3000 so that I could use it as my primary router instead of the Actiontec MI424WR. I want to use the Wireless N functionality of the new router since the MI424WR does not support that.
I've researched many forums and have attempted many changes. But, it seems that the instructions available online are geared towards a different FiOS connection than what I have. There were details about setting up the MI424WR as a bridge, ect, but I could not get any to work.
My Actiontec MI424WR is connected via a coaxial cable, I know there are others connected via a CAT5 cable. I've also read about VOD or CableTV service being disrupted by changing the settings on the Actiontec MI424WR, but I don't think that is the case with my service. This has been part of my confusion with everything I've read.
Could someone please explain to me, in simple terms, how I can get my Linksys E3000 set-up to work as my primary wireless router?
Thank you in advance,
Solved!

What revision of the Actiontec do you have?
Do you have FIOS-TV? Your post is not clear about that.
Is it practical for you to run cat5 to the ONT?
If you want to keep the coax WAN connection, then you must bridge the Actiontec in order for your router to be primary.
If you can switch to a cat5 WAN connection, then you can connect your router as primary with the Actiontec behind it as a MOCA LAN bridge. You will not lose VOD, guide data or widgets. Remote DVR and on-screen caller-id will not function properly if your router is primary.
See this FAQ for different ways you can connect your router.
