Connecting Linksys E3000 to DIRECTV DVR

I want to setup a hardwired connection between my Linksys E3000 router and a DIRECTV DVR. I have the most recent firmware on my router. I have checked the ethernet cable and it is good. The lights on the ethernet port on the DVR light up when I have the DRV and router connecter. The DVR gives me an error message when I try to connect. Some other posts have suggest setting a static IP on the DIRECTV DVR using the following settings:
IP Address : 192.168.1.10
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1
DNS : 192.168.1.1
I tried this and still get an error message so I am going to call DIRECTV. Before I do call I would like to know if these are the correct settings for a Static IP?

This is the screen displayed by the DVR is
     IP Address:           192.168.1.10      OK
     Subnet Mask:        255.255.255.0   OK
     Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1        OK
     DNS:                      75.75.75.75       OK
     Network: Coax not connected (9)
     Internet: Not connected (9)
     Result Code: 86-748
The DNS number is different than that in my original posting because I typed the wrong value in that posting. The DNS number here is the actual value I entered when trying to create the static IP.

Connecting AX to DirecTV DVR

I am using Airport Extreme for my wireless network. I am currently using an Express (b/g) for AirPlay without difficulty. How do I configure the Express so that I can connect it to my DirecTV DVR? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the discussions, Laarni_RN!
In order to do what you want, you'll have to configure both the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express to participate in WDS (Wireless Distribution System) network.
If you have a newer "n" version of the AirPort Extreme, the router will drop down to "g" wireless levels in this type of configuration because WDS can only operate at "g" wireless speeds.
WDS is a difficult setup for many users, so that may be a concern as well. To give you an idea of what will be involved, take a look at the post from forum expert Tesserax regaring this type of setup.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2641670&tstart=0
The newer 802.11"n" version of the Express would allow you to set it up in the "extend a wireless network" configuration. In this type of setup, the Express will provide more wireless coverage and the ethernet port is also enabled. Everything will run at "n" speeds on the entire network....if your AirPort Extreme is "n" capable.
If you have an older "round" AirPort Extreme, the WDS configuration is your only option.

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

I am trying to connect my E1000 to my Directv DVR

I am trying to connect my E1000 to my Directv DVR and it isnt working. I have internet but can not get it to connect to the

Are you trying to connect to the wireless network or it is wired to the router?
Do you get IP address on DVR system?
How many wired and wireless computers/devices do you have in the network?
If the Internet is working fine on all the other computers/devices then I think your router is working fine.
If it is wireless system then you just need to connect to the wireless network. Make sure that you are entering the correct password of the wireless network.

MBPro won't connect to Linksys e3000

I installed a new router, a Linksys E3000. No connection issues for any device except one MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8. (Another MacBook Pro connected without issue.
Problem Macbook will not connect by wifi to the network. Connects fine by ethernet OR to my iphone's personal hotspot. I've tried going to network settings, selecting the network from the list and entering the password. I get a connection timeout. After repeated attempts, it connects perhaps 1 out of 20 times. What is going on??? Apple wants $60.00 to attempt to help. That *****.

Hi, Tinto4.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Troubleshooting Wi-Fi network issues can be difficult due to various configurations, hardware and settings. Start with a simple power cycle of your router and test the connection. I would then recommend going through the article below and make sure all firmware updates have been processed along with the settings adjusted for optimized performance.

DirecTV DVR HR20 connect to internet via Time Capsule

Hi Everyone,
I've searched and come across various topics about connecting the DirecTV DVR to the internet via Time Capsule, but none of them seem to provide a solution for wireless connectivity.
Can anyone point me to a topic where it describes the steps and any issues related to getting my DirecTV DVR connected to the internet via the Time Capsule wirelessly.
I have gone through the setup and I get connected to my network, but I get the error when it tries to connect to the internet.
Do I have to do any port forwarding or anything special?
I use to have my Netgear supporting this configuration, just purchased the Time Capsule and now I cannot get my DVR connected.
Thanks for the support
Jeff...

The Direct TV DVR has an Ethernet connection on the back, which is strongly recommended if you intend to download movies or any kind of high definition material.
If you are trying to use the new Whole Home feature, wireless is not supported by Direct TV for this service.
If you are trying to connect to the DVR using wireless from the Time Capsule, you must be using some sort of wireless to Ethernet bridge device.
What device are you trying to use?
Have you verified that this device is compatible with the Time Capsule?
As a test, connect the adapter/bridge to your laptop and turn the wireless off on the laptop. Open your browser to see if you can get an Internet connection.
If you can, you know the network connection is good and the focus shifts to the DVR as the source of the problem.
If you can't, we'll need to figure out if the adapter you are using will work the Time Capsule.

Airport express 802.11b doesn't connect to Linksys E3000

airport express 802.11b doesn't connect to Linksys E3000
Linksys told tha de the device does not support WPA security
BUT
the device has capability to WPA and it was working on Linksys WRT 310n v2
is out there an solution?

If you have tried numerous default resets, then the Express is defective. Normally, it displays a solid amber light...or no light.... when an internal component fails, but I've seen the solid green as well.
If it's in warranty, Apple will replace the device.
If it's not....and you want to try a real longshot....carefully saw open the case along the center seam to open up the device. You might get really lucky and find something obvious like a connector that has come loose, or something similar.

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.

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!
Go to Solution.

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.

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,

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

Xbox 360 and Linksys E3000

Hello,
I'm having quite some trouble with the new E3000 and my Xbox 360 Slim Model. I thought that the E3000 had like 4 antennas which should broaden the SSID Broadcast/Wifi Signal. Now when I try to scan for wireless networks on my Xbox360 it can't find the signal the E3000 is broadcasting. The E3000 is on the bottom floor and the 360 is on the first floor. Before this I had a WRT54G Linksys router and that one had no problem getting signal to the Xbox360. The E3000 shouldn't have this problem right, because it has more antennas. Another weird thing is that my laptop, which almost sits next to my 360, has no trouble at all finding the SSID/WiFi broadcast...
Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I just want to connect my E3000 to my Xbox 360.
PS: I have upgraded to the latest firmware.

Xbox 360 and Linksys E3000Bad news guys. Whatever you were told about the xbox 360 being compatible with wireless n at 5GHz was probably misleading. Please work through the following link: Work your way through this:- http://www.unofficialguidetolive.co.uk/faqs/114-troubleshooting-and-improving-wireless
Pay attention to the following, and I quote from the above link:
"...The Internal Wireless N Adapter for the Xbox 360 S 250GB
As well as all of the points above to consider you also need to be aware that some Wireless N routers can work at 2.4GHz and 5GHz or both. <<<<The new internal Wireless N adapter will only work at 2.4Ghz>>>> so ensure you have this enabled. It has also been found that in some cases it does not work with WEP and prefers WPA2-PSK (sometimes called Personal) with AES encryption (not TKIP) so in summary for the internal wireless adapter these configureations seem to work best-"
We could have saved everyone a lot of time if the XBOX 360 support would have just admitted this from the start. NO 5GHZ compatibility from XBOX Wireless N adapter.
If there is a way to upgrade the wireless N adapter in the XBOX please post for the rest of us.

Airport Express and WPA2 on Linksys E3000 Router

I'm running MS Windows Vista. I have a Linksys E3000 router and an Airport Express both with updated firmware.
I have segregated my wireless network: My Xbox is on the N-speed band by itself and everything else, including my iPhone 4, is on the g-speed band.
My wireless network works with full Internet access but I can't connect my Airport Express to it. I need help connecting my AE to my existing wireless network so I can stream iTunes music from my PC to the AE.
According to this link: http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/specs.html "When joining an existing wireless network, AirPort Express supports only WPA-Personal. WPA2 requires a Mac computer with an AirPort Extreme Card and Mac OS X v10.3 or later"
So I went to my router settings and set up my g-speed band for "WPA-Personal." But when I do that, my g-speed band ceases to work. I cannot connect my iPhone 4 to it and my iPhone has no trouble connecting when the security is set for "WPA2-Personal".
The Aiport Utility (v 5.5.1) will not detect the AE wirelessly. When I connect the AE via ethernet to the router, I can configure it with Aiport Utility and it will stream iTunes music over the wireline network but then when I disconnect it, I can't detect it wirelessly. I've tried using the setup wizard and the manual setup. I've also reset the AE to it's factory settings and started again with no luck.
I've spent hours trying different settings and I am not sure how to proceed. Please provide any feedback you may have.

Most likely you entered the password a year ago when you first set up the AirPort Express (AX) and you checked the option to store the password in your keychain. If you do that, the Mac will never ask you for the password again.
Open Keychain Access and see if you have an item with the name of your wireless network.

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.
