Cisco Linksys WE-4200 compatible?

Are either Airport Express or Apple TV compatible with the latest Cisco Linksys router?

Will an Airport Express connect wirelessly? I would like to stream music to the second floor system.
Yes, it will "join a wireless network".
Will it connect via ethernet to stream music to the first floor home theater system?
Yes, if you stream to an AirPort Express. it will "connect using ethernet"
Would there be a time lag between the same music played wirelessly and wired at the same time?
Probably
Will Airport express work on my smal third floor hooking in via ethernet but then acting as a wireless extender?
Yes, if you configure it in Bridge Mode to "create a wireless network" using the same wireless network name, security and password as the "main" wireless network
How about Apple TV instead. Would there be a better chance of connecting wired and wirelessly than with the Airport Express?
Strongly recommend an Etherent connection if you plan to stream any kind of high-definition video material. You will need to remember that the Apple TV only has an HDMI output and optical audio out, so your audio video receiver, or television etc at the Apple TV end will need to have that capability.

3 modem ADSL 2 and Linksys E-4200 ?

I would like
use one Linksys E-4200 or more
with 3 modem adsl 2
in order to extend the wifi zone and the trafic,
for 10 users.
I need advices, please.

The 1st option should accomplish your desired goal which is to expand your wireless network's coverage, correct?
I doubt that you can use 3 dsl modems without subscribing to 3 separate internet plans.
I don't work for Cisco. I'm just here to help.

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.

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.
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

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.

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.

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.........

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.

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?

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.
Thread on CISCO\Linksys forums: http://community.linksys.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/VUSB-OS-X-10-8-2-and-Auto-Conne ct/td-p/620126
I'm on 10.8.4... and this is Cisco VUSB 1.2.0 (SXUPTP Driver 1.10.0).

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.
