Cisco Linksys EA6500 Smart Wi-Fi Router AC1750 (STRICT NAT TYPE XBOX 360)

Hi All,
I have 2 kids. Each with his/her own xbox. One Xbox gets an open NAT Type OPEN and the 2nd Xbox gets a STRICT NAT type. I had the same issue with the other Cisco router I had, but thought an upgrade might fix the problem. Plugged up new router last night, same dang issue. Why can't 2 Xbox gaming systems have an open NAT type at once with these routers? Anyone have any suggestions, I am all ears.
Ready to try another router (Netgear, D-Link)
Thanks

If I am not mistaken, theoritically one router is only applicable with one xbox. The reason for that is because you need to use or open ports on your router and you can only use one port for one ip address. What you can try though is to leave the working xbox the way it was setup and then set DMZ on your router using either the 2nd xbox's ip address or mac address.

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.

Linksys EA4500 Strict NAT with Xbox One

Hey all,
I just got a Xbox One and I use my wireless router (EA4500) for it. I've used it before on my Xbox 360 and I have had an open NAT but now all I have is strict.
I've done some searching on the web such as port fowarding and what not but no such luck. I was wondering if anyone can help me with my current problem?
Thanks in advance!

Do you know if your router is getting a public IP Address from your ISP? If you are then just enabling UPNP should be enough. Keep in mind that if you have two xbox's then the first one to grab the ports will have open nat.
If you get a private IP Address from your ISP then strict nat is all you will get.
Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

Wireless router/Print Server w/ Ethernet Xbox 360

Hey yall,
So I'm on day 2 of my new life as a "Mac guy". Threw down on a G5 and am pretty stoked. Still stock - I'm going to get another GB of RAM and AppleCare soon - and I'm also looking to get everything running wirelessly, including my HP PSC 1510 printer. I currently have Qwest DSL (1.5MB down), which I have configured wirelessly but don't have the router to print wirelessly. I have a 1-bdrm cabin w/ a loft, so I'd like to have the router/printer upstairs and just this pimp machine downstairs for all to see. I also have a Xbox 360 upstairs that I'd like to be able to connect via Ethernet to the router. The Airport Extreme BS would work - but it's 2 bills. Would this US Robotics Router w/ Print Server work?
http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/ProductDetail.aspx?TabPage=overview&sku=A0474 840&c=us&l=en&cs=19
I'd want to be able to return my rented router to Qwest - would this be one-stop shopping for me? Run internet/print service to the G5 downstairs and hardwire in my 360 upstairs? If so, that would be sweet. Also, the router says any USB printer would work - is that true? The HP PSC 1510 ain't exactly high-end - but I've also not opened it yet and would return it to get something that would work. Thanks a lot for any help, this fruity computer is pretty sweet!!

iMac G5 2.1 GHz w/ iSight

Hello,
Congratulations on your new Mac! My setup is similar to your own. I have my computer (iMac G5) hooked up wirelessly and I provide internet to my PS2 from the LAN hookup on the router.
I'm sorry that I can't give you an answer to the usefulness of the US Robotics router but, I can give you my experience with an Airport Express Base Station. I was fortunate enough to get one as a gift for Christmas and have been up and running ever since. ^^
First and foremost the Airport Express Base Station or AEX is Apple made and quite frankly works the best with your computer. You can plug your printer into it and also share your internet with your XBox 360 through the Ethernet port.
Though not as expensive as the Airport Extreme Base Station it is still about twice as expensive as the US Robotics one you labeled in your post. That is my setup in a nutshell except I don't have the XBox 360. ;p (jealous)
I just wanted to provide you a tested and tried solution that works. Good luck and wish you the best with your new setup. I know you are going to enjoy it and I agree about showing off your iMac, they are sweet looking.
Best Regards,
Jason

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.

Linksys EA6500 router power light blinks slowly, not reachable

Hoping somebody can help me with this. I bought a Cisco Linksys EA6500 router a couple of years ago. For various reasons I ended up not actually unboxing it until today. It got left at my mom's place and well, it just didn't get unboxed until today. I connected it, ran the Setup disc and after a little bit of trouble, I got it to work OK. I was using the Admin panel and setting the guest network password etc. Everything seemed great. But then I had the idea to upgrade the Firmware, because I figured the router was a couple of years old, it probably needs a Firmware upgrade. From the admin page I clicked the "Check for upgrades" to the Firmware, but it gave me a red error message "Upgrade server not available" (or something to that effect). I clicked instead on "Manual update" and I had downloaded this file: FW_EA6500v2_1.1.40.166281_prod.img The firmware upgrade process started, there was a progress bar that went for a while, and when that reached the end, I got a spinning wheel animation. This however, never went away. Just spun and spun. I went for a coffee, came back 15 minutes later, it was still spinning and nothing else had happened. I looked at the router itself, and the white CISCO power led on the front of the router is blinking slowly. Kind of fading up and down. I waited another while and then I had waited probably 20 minutes, so I gave up and unplugged the router from the power, waited a few seconds and plugged it back in. Ever since I did this process, it's like completely dead. The CISCO power led is fading up and down. I've tried a 30-30-30 reset. I've connected it to a PC ran the setup program (EA6500v1.2.0.14212.1-Setup.exe). The setup program just reports that it can't reach or find the router. It's like completely broken. I've tried it with two different PC's. None of them can even acknowledge that the router exists. Meanwhile, the power light keeps fading up and down... I only got about 15 minutes use out of my brand new (albeit unboxed for 2 years) EA6500 before, it appears, the Firmware upgrade process completely broke the whole thing. Since my computer doesn't even manage to connect to the router on ANY level, I'm unable to see or change any settings or anything like that. I do have the "reset" button on the back of the router and I've tried it several times (including holding it for over 1 minute), but nothing makes any difference. Sorry about the lengthy post.... I probably could have explained this shorter: Router unresponsive - power LED fading up/down - Setup program does not find router. Anybody able to offer any help?? Thanks in advance.

If you have already tried to use other browsers or computer, try the management mode process. 1st you will need to download the firmware file and teh TFTP software. connect your computer to the modem inorder to have internet access (set your IP to obtain). Download the firmware here: http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=148365 TFTP software is available here: http://downloads.linksys.com/downloads/Tftp.exe Reconnect the computer back to the router and set it back to static IP. Follow this reset process in this link: http://www.linksys.com/ru/support-article?articleNum=140001 If it asks for a firmware, upload the file. If that doesn't work, proceed with TFTP upgrade. This link will help: http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=137928 I hope that helps!

Opening Linksys E2000 NAT type....

I have tried to set a DMZ, which i remember doing in the past successfully, but somehow it has changed and didnt work out this time. One issue i am having is the IP address on the Xbox is like 192.168.1.xxx, and the IP on my router is 192.168.0.xxx. So i changed the IP to have a 1 instead of the 0 on the 3rd set of numbers, and at that point the xbox just totally lost connection to the router. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Im desperate i have been trying to fix this for a couple months since i renewed LIVE and i feel like ive wasted my money.

this means that your E2000 is connected to a modem/router device.
what you need to do first is to ask your ISP on how to setup your modem to bridge mode and setup your router as the gateway.
once the modem is set to bridge, setup the router, as advised on the links you provided, forwarding ports; and you should be set

Xfintity router/modem with Airport extreme moderate/strict nat?

I switched to comcast xfinity and they gave me a modem with a router built in and we are trying to use the Airport Extreme to get better signal using Bridge Mode in Airport Utility. It all worked fine but then on my PS3 and Xbox 360 it says that I have a moderate/strict nat type any help on how to get a open nat?

Suggest that you double check to make sure that the AirPort Extreme is setup in Bridge Mode.
Open AirPort Utility - click Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Settings should look like this:
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Update to save any changes
When the AirPort Extreme is in Bridge Mode, DHCP and NAT are turned off.
These services are being provided by the Comcast gateway, so any NAT issues rest with the Comcast gateway. You may need to call Comcast support to ask them about changing the NAT settings on the device.

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!

Hooking up AE through ethernet to cisco/linksys router

Apologies if this is a repeat, tried searching.
I used to connect my AE to a Belkin router using a "uplink" button on the back of the router. Everything worked till the Belkin fried one hot day.
Got a new router - Cisco/Linksys "Etherfast" Cable/DSL router (non wireless) that does not have an "uplink" button like the Belkin did. Thought AE would be smart enough to adapt. Not so apparently.
Simply plugged the AE into the new router just like the old one. I can connect to the routers setup screen wirelessly through the AE but cannot access the internet, which is connected to the router through my cable modem.
If I plug the AE directly into the cable modem I do get the internet.
Tried setting the AE to "bridge" mode with no luck. But not sure if I need to configure the DNS settings. Not sure how to do that.
I've done hard/soft resets.
Do I need a crossover cable? Apple says the AE does not require a crossover.
thanks for any helpful info!

Got a new router - Cisco/Linksys "Etherfast" Cable/DSL router (non wireless) that does not have an "uplink" button like the Belkin did. Thought AE would be smart enough to adapt. Not so apparently.
It is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of your networking equipment when changing components.
Please try the following:
o Power-down the Cisco, AirPort Express Base Station (AX), and computer(s); wait at least 10-15 minutes. Note: Power-down order is not critical.
o Power-up the Cisco; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
o Plug-in the AX; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
o Power-up the computer(s).
Simply plugged the AE into the new router just like the old one. I can connect to the routers setup screen wirelessly through the AE but cannot access the internet, which is connected to the router through my cable modem.
By this statement, if you mean a wireless client connected to the AX, can access the Cisco's web-based administration pages, then the AX is (at least) getting the proper Private IP address from the Cisco gateway ... and, if this same wireless client cannot access the Internet, it is usually indicative that it is not getting all the proper IP address information from the Cisco ... specifically the DNS IP address information.
Hopefully, the power recycle will fix this.
Tried setting the AE to "bridge" mode with no luck. But not sure if I need to configure the DNS settings. Not sure how to do that.
Bridge mode would be the correct setting for a router that is downstream of another. In this mode, the AX will allow the Cisco to provide both the NAT & DHCP services for the entire network ... either wired clients connected to the Cisco or wireless clients connected to the AX.
Do I need a crossover cable? Apple says the AE does not require a crossover.
No, as both routers are capable of working with either crossover or straight-through type cabling.

Airport with Cisco / Linksys E4200 Router

Hi, I have not been able to find a straight forward answer so i'm posting this.
I'm looking to switch my Linksys router over to N wireless, vs N and G or Just G- Not sure what it is now. I don't have great connection on my 2nd floor, with my Linksys router on the first floor. I want to use this as a bridge (instead of the RE1000), because i want the 5ghz, and AirPlay.
Can i use this as a plug and play bridge? I just want it to extend the signal, and be able to use airplay. No new network.
Some info i thought i would add:
ISP Cat 5 or 6? to Modem to Router (E4200)
Ping at 64 bytes
WPA2/WPA Mixed Mode Security
Thanks in advance.

No you will not be able to use an AirPort to extend the wireless range of the Cisco/Linksys router if they will be interconnected by wireless. However, if they can be interconnected by wire, you could configure them for a roaming network.

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 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 have a Cisco/Linksys WRT-54G wireless router and 2 Airport Extremes (the small ones that plug directly into the wall). Is it possible to extend the network from the router using these two AEs? I have a DVD player and Ext HD plugged into the router too..

I have a Cisco/Linksys WRT-54G wireless router and 2 Airport Extremes (the small ones that plug directly into the wall). Is it possible to extend the network from the router using these two AEs? I have a DVD player and Ext HD plugged into the router too. Any ideas? I'm guessing the only way is to do what I've seen in these community pages which states that it can be done but it will drop the bandwidth by 50%. Thoughts?? Thanks!

The Cisco/Linksys WRT-54G was one of the very few routers said to be compatible with Apple's implementation of WDS (Wireless Distribution System) settings.
The info that I have on file indicates that only the WRT-54G versions 4 and under were compatible, so that would be one bridge to cross.
Even if you find that your Cisco/Linksys might be the right version, Apple never published instructions on how to configure the Express devices with other manufactures, so users were left to their own devices to try to figure out how to get things working. Apple's instructions to connect to other Apple devices are in the link below:
WDS network
If you were hoping to use 2 Express devices in this type of configuration...even if it works...the bandwidth penalties will be extremely severe.
The first Express drops the bandwidth (and speed) on the entire network in half and the second halves everything again. So, the result, in effect would be a "g" wireless network running at 25% speed. Few users would consider installing this type of network.
At this point, it becomes one of those things where the fact that you might be able to do something does not mean that there would be much value in doing so. But, it is your decision to decide if you want to try to proceed.
