Cisco Linksys E4200v1 and RV180

Good evening,
I currently have one Cisco Linksys E4200 v1, and at this point, I am very happy with it. It can do 450Mbps of WIFI 5Ghz and all ports are GiB.
But since it does not support VPN termination at least with the official firmware, I'm currently considering the acquisition of a RV180.
The E4200 will work only as access point.
My main concern are the several complains about this and that. I remember again that my E4200 is working like a charm. So I'm in a rough position to decide whether or not to buy the RV180.
Can you guys please pinpoint what is missing or not working in the RV180 please?
My Best Regards
Safekali

Hello Ricardo,
I'd say the biggest thing I've been hearing going around is the port forwarding issue. Currently there is a issue going on were port forwarding does not work and it could be with just PPPoE connections though? I know I've gotten port forwarding to work when set to either DHCP/Static on the wan side but there is a beta firmware out currently for this issue just don't know a ETA when a offical release will be out.
Also i think there is a issue with the NAT throughput were it gets really slow when you enable WAN QoS. You may want to search around the forums though to see if this is true.
Other than that I would check out the release notes on known issue they are experiencing with the current release.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/csbr/rv180w/release_notes/rv180w_rn_1-0-1-9.pdf
What are your end goals with this device though? I assuming you are wanting to use it for VPN. I'd say most of the issue that people are reporting will be fixed in firmware releases. The actually hardware of the unit is very good but the software still needs a little work at this point. I own the wireless version of this model and I really like it.
Hope that helps you out some!
Thanks,
Clayton SIll

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.

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.

Problems with my router cisco linksys wrt110 and my android cellphone and android table

i updated my router from 1.0 to 1.07 and one week later my phone and my tablet both with android 2.3(phone) 4.0(tablet) connect to the router wireless but don't navigate internet, they connect to google.com sometimes and if i do a search it bring it but if i try to open any of the search it doesn't open. and they connect to google play but doesn't download any app. if i open any app that needs to connect to internet it doesn't connect either. My wife has a blackberry phone and she doesn't have problem with internet connecting to the wifi router, i have a pc with windows 7 and connect wireless too and either connect to internet without problems. It's only happen with android. i download terminal app and i ping different web pages and respond by name and by ip but when i go to internet app and try to connect it doesn't bring the page. i don't have firewall and the firewall of the router i disble it but the problem persist.
i factory reset the router and my phone but problem persist. i set static ip and nothing. my cellphone and tablet connect to internet fine in others wifi routers. What else can i do? should i downgraded the firmware to the router? if it is so where can i download a previous version of the firmware and what are the steps to install it?

If the other wireless devices are working fine connected to the router, then it might be that the Android phones and tablet needed to be configured properly. Had you tried to use another web browser on the problem phone and tablet to further isolate the issue? Had you tried to connect the phone and tablet to other wireless network and check if you still have the same issue? Please try to make sure that you are connected to the router’s main wireless network. And please try to delete preferred wireless networks, including your wireless network, on the phone and then try to reconnect.

Cisco/Linksys E2000 and gigabit connectivity

I've got a pppoe dsl connection running through a thompson speedtouch. I'm running the 1.0.03 firmware and I've discovered a pretty brutal issue with the e2000 regarding gigabit connectivity
When I switch my network adapter to 10 or 100Mbit full duplex, it connects to the internet fine, but when I switch the adapter to 1.0Gb full duplex, I suddenly lose all internet access. not just web connectivity, but email connectivity and anything else to do with WAN traffic.
Other computers here have the capability of running gigabit but I've also had to switch them to 100Mbit just so they have any kind of internet access aswell.
Will this be fixed?

I also have an issie regarding this. I have cascaded E3000 routers and ther port cooentions have blue lights which is just at 100mb when in fact they should talk to each at Gb speedmand have yellow port lights. Is this correct?

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

AIR-AP1141N connected to Cisco linksys E1200

    Does anyone know if it possible to get dhcp service to an AP1141N when it is connected to > Cisco Linksys E1200 > cable modem?
The AP gets an IP for the BVI1 interface, the client associates but I get no IP assigment for the client.
What am I missing?
You may be wondering why I am doing this considering that the linksys is already wireless router. It is just a test to see if it possible. The linksys provides IP's and internet access just fine when the AP is not in the mix.

At one time I had a netgear wireless router and I was able to make this work. I replaced the netgear with the cisco linksys E1200 and now I cannot get it to work.
Attached is the AP config that I used when the netgear was in use.
The only think that is different now is that the IP addr that is assigned to the BVI1 interface.
The default gate on the netgear was the same as you see here.

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.

Does the airport time capsule eliminate the need for my cisco linksys wireless router?

does the airport time capsule eliminate the need for my cisco linksys wireless router?

I understand that your network now looks like this:
Modem > Security Router > Cisco/Linksys router > Devices
If you do not want to use the Cisco/Linksys router and use a Time Capsule instead, then your network would look like this:
Modem > Security Router > Time Capsule > Devices

Linksys E2500 and Mavericks wireless connection

Installed Mavericks and lost wireless connection with my linksys e2500.
Cisco connect says "unsupported operating system" and "visit http://homesupport.cisco.com/linksys/support"
Cisco website does not address Mavericks OS

I'm having the same issue with my Cisco Linksys router.
I am unable to connect to the wifi network, or use the Cisco Connect application. As the application is the only way of adding and removing devices from the network, changing the password, and likely fixing this issue, I'm quite frustrated.
I phoned Cisco about this issue yesterday and they had no helpful information. They advised me to download the newest Connect software from their website, and stated this should fix the issue. I told them that I'd already attempted this solution, but their software has only been updated to include a compatibility fix with 10.8, and the issue is with 10.9. They then advised that I restart my computer. AKA, they would be no further help.
The Connect software is available for download here, so I hope that they release an update soon with a fix to this problem. The release notes under the latest update include a mention of the 10.8 compatibility fix, so I hope a 10.9 fix will be forthcoming.
The only solution in the meantime seems to be a complete restart and install of the router and software using a PC. And even this only works to correct the Cisco Connect issue, and likely not the main issue of actually using the wifi network with Mavericks. Regardless, I believe this is a Cisco/Linksys issue, and not an Apple issue.

Disappointed CISCO-LINKSYS ~~~ after-sales support of E4200V1 ~~

Hi guys,
I'd like to express my feeling of purchased E4200V1.
I bought E4200V1 around 1 yr. Before that , I was considering E4200V1 (just has HW ver.1) and ASUS - RTN56U.
Finally, I voted CISCO-LINKSYS.
Hoewever, CISCO Development team does not keep the improvement of their product and they trend to release E4200V2.
In contrast to ASUS,, their R&D pay their heart to customer to keep improvment of thier products
http://usa.asus.com/Networks/Wireless_Routers/RTN56U/#download Their firmware is keeping update.
In E4200V1, even many victims (who chose E4200V1) compliant the firmware.
But CISCO -LINKSYS seems like do not care.............
Hey guy, will you select CISCO - LINKSYS series products next time ? To me, absolutely not !
koklee

I have the same router as well. I agree with you. Cisco/Linksys are extremely slow on the firmware front to fix bugs and make new enhancements. I have suggested a traffic meter many times to monitor daily/weekly/monthly bandwidth. That alone is pretty standard on all new routers. Yet Cisco/Linksys still does not have one today. Even with the lateast EA4500.

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

E4200V1 - When Cisco Linksys will release new firmware to instead 1.0.003

Dear CISCO - LINKSYS R&D Team,
Could you tell us when will you release the improved firmware for E4200 ver.1 ?
For some examples:
1) WAN-to-LAN throughput improvment (now is less than 50% efficient if using 100Mbps WAN connection at "03" version firmware. I switch back to "01" version to avoid it)
2) Unstable of VPN connect for the WAN L2TP and PPTP protocols
Besides, not really understand why CISCO-LINKSYS does not fix E4200 ver 1 problem and then release E4200 Ver2.......
Seems she does not take her responsibility on her products.........

No longer using Linksys router. Should I uninstall Cisco LEAP, PEAP, and EAP?

Should I uninstall the Cisco LEAP, PEAP, and EAP programs if I am no longer using a Linksys router? I am replacing with an Asus router.
thanks,
KG

Hi! It's best to uninstall them all if you are not going to use them for the sake of freeing some memory on your computer. Should you change your mind and get a new Linksys router one of these days, I am sure it will come with its own installation software anyway.

TS3742 Installed Cisco Linksys VUSB. Now my MacBook Air restarts and I get a kernel panic

Bought a new Cisco Linksys router a few weeks ago. Had to install their VUSB to manage the peripherals. Now I keep getting this panic message and my MB Air restarts whenever I log out. How do I fix this?

Same issue here.
If Cisco VUSB is running (in the dock) when the Macbook Air goes to sleep, when it awakens a kernel panic occurs every time. Now I've had to set Cisco VUSB to not launch upon startup to ensure I don't forget about it when putting my Macbook Air to sleep. Very annoying.

I'm on 10.8.4... and this is Cisco VUSB 1.2.0 (SXUPTP Driver 1.10.0).

Cisco Linksys E4200v1 and RV180
