Detecting Rogue Devices- Especially Linksys Routers

All,
I am having a bit of an issue here. My CIO is claiming he has an entire illegal network in his office and he claims he did it under our noses. I know my layer 2 port security wasn't going to catch his little linksys router. So what I noticed about the Linksys is that it has a LAN and WAN side. The WAN side as we all know interfaces with the local LAN and the LAN side is where all your devices are connected with a 192.168.x.x address. Then the Linksys router just NATs all of the IP's from the inside to the outside no one is the wiser. So with this going on someone can connect one of these to my network and connect as many devices as they want and I can't see anything other than that one external IP the Linksys router picked up from my DHCP server. My question: IS THERE ANYWAY TO DETECT AND PROTECT MY NETWORK FROM ROGUE ROUTING DEVICES?

  • Slow/Erratic Wireless Internet Speeds. Have tried a lot. (Multiple Linksys Routers)

    I just moved into a new house, and now have a 10mb ADSL connection.
    When wired (direct to the modem, or through routers) my speeds are fine.
    But when on wireless, they are very erratic. I use a local speedtest site, and when wired it will get up to the correct speed quickly and stay there till test concludes. But on wireless, it will sometimes do that, but 90% of the time it will slowly get up to speed, drop a few Mb's, maybe stay at half speed, maybe go back up, etc....
    I have 4 linksys routers (no not all in use currently), 2 WRT54G's, WRT54G2, and a WRT160n.
    I have two laptops, one running a Dell 1490 card (Broadcom) and a HP Tablet running a N card (it is broadcom, will have to look up the model). Have tested multiple OS's (XP, Vista, 7).
    Nothing seems to make a difference, so problem between all routers. I have tried changing channels to no avail. But other than that, I am not familiar with "fine tuning" as I have never had to in the past.
    Any suggestions would be awesome!

    Sometimes, firmware make a reat difference...Its a real coincidence that you are facing the wireless connectivity problem with all the 4 router's you have.However you try upgrading your router's firmware and try to reconfigure it from the scratch and hopefully it should work...
    Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop
    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
    In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
    Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful"  After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
    Now reset your router :
    Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

  • IPv6 Test Case for LinkSys Routers - Based on Ubuntu + Radvd + DHCPv6 - E1200v2 isn't ready for IPv6

    Hello!
    Here on this guide, you'll learn how to deploy your own Linux IPv6 Router, that can be used in ANY network, to give IPv6 connectivity to ANY ethernet device, including Windows, Mac, Ubuntu Server and Desktop, RedHat and, of course, LinkSys routers like E1200v2 and E2500 for its WAN interfaces.
    I wrote this guide because I found a BUG on E1200v2, which doesn't work with IPv6 yet, already lost some money to figure this out.
    That's it, when you see a E1200v2 box at the store, you can read: "* IPv6 Enabled", but that is not entirely true, since it does not work as expected.
    Here on this post, it is a complete procedure to reproduce the problem.
    NOTE: The model E2500 v1 does not suffer from this problem!
    NOTE: This guide is very usefull if you have a LinkSys E2500 router and want to connect it directly into a Linux Router!
    Who am I?
    A.: I'm Thiago, I work in Brazil, for a company called iG (ig.com.br), I'm working here as a Network Engineer / SysAdmin and I have +10 years of experience with IPv4 networks + 5 years with IPv6.
    * Brief
    1- Install a Ubuntu 12.04.3, to act as your router, on a PC computer with two ethernet cards (eth0 will be Ubuntu's default route, eth1 will be used to connect LinkSys E1200v2);
    2- Prepare your Ubuntu Router (very important step, read it carefully)
    3- Connect E1200v2 directly into Ubuntu's eth1 ethernet card;
    4- Connect a Windows PC at E1200v2 LAN port 1 (used to configure your E1200 with Cisco Connect everytime a reset is desired);
    5- Reset (restore it from factory defaults) your E1200v2 router;
    6- Install Cisco Connect in your Windows PC (LAN port 1);
    7- Configure your E1200v2 as usual;
    8- Browse the Internet (still IPv4);
    9- Open Windows Command Prompt and type: ipconfig, ping, etc;
    10- Open Google Chrome or Firefox and go to your E1200v2 Web Admin Interface at http://192.168.1.1/
    11- Install a Ubuntu 12.04.3 Server connected at E1200v2 LAN port 2 to test IPv6 connectivity in deep, or;
    12- Boot a Ubuntu Desktop 13.04 Live CD connected at E1200v2 LAN port 3 to test IPv6 connectivity in deep;
    IMPORTANT NOTE:
    * This tests will require IPv4 connectivity to the Internet, since the IPv6 blocks used on this example, are blocks used only for documentation (or small tests) porpuses, which means that those IPv6 tests we're about to do, will not reach the Internet (in IPv6), neighter be routed out from your E1200v2. But it is enough to prove that E1200v2 drops its clients IPv6 connectivity. Feel free to replace those IPv6 address with your current / valid IPv6 blocks (if you have a IPv6 /48 block from your ISP, you know what I'm talking about).
    * Network Topology (Ubuntu Linux Router)
    IPv6:
    eth0
    2001:db8:0:1::/64 = uplink allocation
    2001:db8:0:1::1 = upstream router IP (Ubuntu's gateway IPv6)
    2001:db8:0:1::2 = customer configured IP (your WAN uplink interface to provider - Ubuntu's eth0 IPv6 address)
    eth1
    2001:db8:1::/48 = statically routed subnet pointing at 2001:db8:0:1::2 that come from you IPv6-ISP
    2001:db8:1::1 = your first IPv6 within your own infrastructure (Ubuntu's eth1 - E1200v2 directly connected here)
    eth1:0
    2001:db8:1:1::/64 = your first IPv6 /64 with Router Advertisement plus DHCPv6 running on Linux (radvd) (Ubuntu's eth1:0 - E1200v2 gets its WAN IPv6 address from this subnet)
    2001:db8:1:1::1 = IP of your first /64 subnet, Radvd + DHCPv6 running here, Ubuntu as IPv6 router
    IPv4:
    eth0
    192.168.10.0/24 = uplink allocation
    192.168.10.1 = upstream router IP (Ubuntu's gateway IPv4)
    192.168.10.2 = customer configured IP (your WAN uplink interface to provider - Ubuntu's eth0 IPv4 address)
    eth1
    192.168.20.1 = your E1200 will gets its WAN IPv4 address from this subnet - most common scenario for IPv4 wifi routers running inside enterprise environments today
    * Complete procedure
    1- Install a Ubuntu 12.04.3, to act as your router, on a PC computer with two ethernet cards
    Install the following packages in your Ubuntu Router:
    sudo apt-get install radvd isc-dhcp-server
    2- Prepare your Ubuntu Router (very important step, read it carefully)
    2.1- Ubuntu's file /etc/network/interfaces contents:
    # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
    # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

    net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
    After writting, run "sudo sysctl -p" to apply the changes.
    2.3- Configuring Linux Router Advertisement daemon (radvd)
    Your Linux Router Advertisement daemon running on Ubuntu, must have the following content:

        # Enable RA
        AdvSendAdvert on;
        # Enable clients getting their IPs from DHCPv6

           # When not allowing clients to auto-generate their IPv6 address (SLAAC), DHCPv6 will be used instead
           AdvAutonomous off;
    2.4- Configuring DHCPv6
    Your isc-dhcp-server6 configuration file (/etc/dhcp/dhcpd6.conf) for IPv6 must have the following content:
    ddns-update-style none;
    default-lease-time 600;
    max-lease-time 7200;

    * Reboot your Ubuntu Router to apply all the changes
    After rebooting it, try to "ping 8.8.8.8" to make sure your Ubuntu Router have at least, IPv4 Internet connectivity.
    NOTE: From this point, you'll be able to start testing IPv6 from behind your Ubuntu Router (i.e. from its eth1), if you connect a Ubuntu Desktop, a Mac or a Windows on Ubuntu's eth1, it will provide IPv4 and IPv6 address to that devices, including your E1200v2 WAN port...
    3- Connect E1200v2 directly into Ubuntu's eth1 ethernet card;
    Plug a RJ45 cable between Ubuntu eth1 ethernet card and E1200v2 WAN port.
    4- Connect a Windows PC at E1200v2 LAN port 1
    This Windows computer will be used to (re)configure your E1200v2 with Cisco Connect everytime a reset is desired.
    5- Reset (restore it from factory defaults) your E1200v2 router;
    Press and hold the reset button for about 10 seconds.
    6- Install Cisco Connect in your Windows PC (LAN port 1);
    Boot(reboot) Windows and install Cisco Connect on it.
    7- Configure your E1200v2 as usual (by finishing Cisco Connect installation procedure);
    After concluding this step, your Windows PC will have both IPv4 and IPv6 address, that come from E1200v2.
    Windows gets its IPv4 from DHCP and IPv6 from SLAAC (main point of the problem), both provided by E1200v2.
    NOTE: From this point, you'll be able to see the problem with E1200v2 internal RA daemon, you'll lose your IPv6 connectivity that come from E1200v2. But, lets keep testing it...
    8- Browse the Internet (still IPv4);
    That's it, try to browse google.com from your Windows PC, if Ubuntu Router can "ping google.com", Windows PC should be able to do it so.
    9- Open Windows Command Prompt and type: ipconfig, ping, etc;
    Run "ipconfig" to see your IPv4 and IPv6 address...
    Run "ping 8.8.8.8" to see if you can reach the Internet...
    10- Open Google Chrome or Firefox and open your E1200v2 Web Admin Interface at http://192.168.1.1/
    Access your E1200v2 Web Admin and go to the "Status -> Router" menu.
    Write down its Internet IPv6 address, it will be something like this:
    IPv6 - Internet IP Address: 2001:db8:1:1::2000
    NOTE: You can get this address at the Ubuntu Router itself, by reading the file /var/log/syslog (`grep pool' might help), for example:
    # grep pool /var/log/syslog
    Sep 24 00:47:13 ubuntu-router-1 dhcpd: Picking pool address 2001:db8:1:1::2000
    Sep 24 00:47:13 ubuntu-router-1 dhcpd: Picking pool prefix 2001:db8:1:1::/56
    You'll see the above message on your Ubuntu Router, right after turning on your E1200v2. Pool address is the IPv6 Internet IP Address of your E1200v2's WAN port, pool prefix is the delegated subnet to your E1200v2 router. After thatn, it will start to advertiser that block on its LAN ports and WiFi (which doesn't work as expected, there is a problem there, whithin E1200v2 itself.
    11- Install a Ubuntu 12.04.3 Server connected at E1200v2 LAN port 2, to test IPv6 connectivity in deep;
    Here is the most important test:
    * Testing the IPv6 connectivity from E1200v2 LAN ports.
    This test is very simple, we just need to try ping E1200v2's IPv6 Internet IP Address.
    This Ubuntu Server will have the following content on its /etc/network/interfaces file:
    # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
    # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
    # The loopback network interface
    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback
    # The primary network interface
    auto eth0
    # IPv6 - SLAAC - No DHCPv6 client required - E1200v2 will kicks off this IPv6, and I don't know why...
    iface eth0 inet6 auto
    # IPv4 - Requires DHCPv4
    iface eth0 inet dhcp
    After this, your Ubuntu Server will be able to "ping 8.8.8.8" and "ping6 2001:db8:1:1::2000" (E1200v2 WAN IPv6 Address noted before).
    To prove that E1200v2 have a problem with IPv6, try to ping it, just run:
    mtr -n 2001:db8:1:1::2000
    ...And after a few minutes, Ubuntu Server will lose its IPv6 address, because E1200v2 is kicking it off.
    You'll be able to see a lots of package loss going on "mtr -n 2001:db8:1:1::2000".
    If you connect a Mac OSX on E1200v2 LAN por 3, for example, it will also lose its IPv6 from time to time.
    Wireless clients connected at E1200v2, like Android, iPad, Windows, Mac and Ubuntu laptops, also loses its IPv6 (that come from E1200v2) from time to time.
    You guys must note that the E1200v2 itself, ramdomly becomes unreacheable from its own LAN ports (via IPv6)!! Which is unnaceptable.
    12- Boot a Ubuntu Desktop 13.04 Live CD connected at E1200v2 LAN port 3 to test IPv6 connectivity in deep;
    Boot a Ubuntu Desktop connected at your LinkSys E1200v2 router, and open 2 Terminals, on each of it, you should run:
    Terminal 1:
    mtr -n 2001:db8:1:1::2000
    Terminal 2:
    sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog
    You'll be able to see a lots of package loss going on "mtr -n 2001:db8:1:1::2000" after a few minutes AND at the syslog, you'll be able to see when you lose your IPv6, that come from E1200v2.
    Conclusion
    E1200v2 doesn't have a working IPv6 Router Advertisement service. Please Cisco, fix it!
    The IPv4 from behind E1200v2 is fine, I'm using LinkSys products for about +10 years now... First time with problems like this but, IPv6 is more or like new and, problems are expected... Lets work on it?!
    Best Regards,
    Thiago

    Try to use dhclient perhaps?  Might I also suggest letting systemd deal with the dhcp issue and not NM.  That may seem incongruous but it is possible NM is mis-handling the dhcp hand-off to the network card.  I'm no guru but I got thinking about this when I saw this in your output:
    aug 26 19:15:39 arch_daboka NetworkManager[527]: <info> (enp1s0): device state change: ip-check -> secondaries (reason 'none') [80 90 0]
    aug 26 19:15:39 arch_daboka NetworkManager[527]: <info> (enp1s0): device state change: secondaries -> activated (reason 'none') [90 100 0]
    aug 26 19:15:40 arch_daboka NetworkManager[527]: <info> NetworkManager state is now CONNECTED_LOCAL
    It is very possible that I'm mis-interpreting this information so please take it with a boulder of salt. 

  • How long do Linksys routers last?

    Hello.
    Is it me or do Linksys routers do not last very long? I had two different Linksys routers (many years ago's BEFSX41 v1 and 2009's WRT54GL v1.1 with their latest stock firmwares). BEFSX41's network stopped loading correctly even with its internal web pages and after reinstalling its latest firmware. WRT54GL seems to be having random and rare wired network disconnection problems with my computers and cable modem, so maybe it is the router. My friend's five years old Linksys WRT router was misbehaving even with third party firmwares (both DD-WRT and Tomato).
    Do these consumer routers not last very long?
    Thank you in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    For me, it really depends on how we we use the device. There's no definite time span on how long the device will last. If you're having problems with the device, there are workarounds that you may do to get it working again.

  • IPhone 4s in detecting any device via bluetooth

    Hi,
    I just got a new iphone having used Windows Phone all along.  I am trying to transfer my contacts using bluetooth but iPhone 4s is not just detecting any device.  What's the way forward for this?  This should be a straightforward transfer but all standards.  Why is it so difficult for iPhone?
    Many thanks
    Bright

    Pair it for what?
    Syncing with iTunes is done via a USB connection with your computer, or syncing can be done via wi-fi when the computer and iPhone are connected to the same wi-fi network. Either one is much faster than syncing via bluetooth especially for music, movies, larger apps, and a number of photos. You can pair the iPhone via bluetooth with your computer for tethering but that is about it for bluetooth.

    After running bootcamp, DVD drive is detected by Windows 8. But after installing drivers, no longer can detect. Device Manager shows that DVD drive is unplugged! Drivers in Bootcamp “removed” the DVD drive. I think there is an issue because I reinstalled Windows 8. If I don't install driver, then I have reduced functionality (no Apple keyboard, no sound etc), but once I install driver, I lose my DVD drive.

    Hi, guys, I have had the exact same problem since the summer of 2010. Here's what I was able to find out.
    Deleting upper/lower filters, running all those Fix Ya programs and other Microsoft crap is useless. This problem is most certainly has nothing to do with registry of any software on your computer. I took my HP 9620us to a couple of repair places and, they tried a lot of things and it appears that the root of this problem is a faulty motherboard connection. Of course, it costs about 400 bucks to fix it so I'm not sure I want to pay this kind of money.
    Anyway, if somebody was able to fix it PLEASE post here to let us know. Again I am 99 per cent sure it's some piece of hardware in the motherboard.

  • JMF-based applet can not detect audio devices on Vista (?)

    Hi,
    As many people reported, I encountered the same issue - CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList does not detect any audio device on IE/Vista.
    Here is my testing environment:
    HP XW4600, RealTek HD Audio onboard sound card,
    Vista SP1 (Business, Home Premium, and Vista64)
    JRE1.5.0_16, JMF2.1.1e
    A recording Applet runs in IE7 (which works fine on XP and its Java application version always works fine on Vista)
    I have tried a number of things without success:
    1)Use different audio formats as the input parameter for getDeviceList
    2)Try CaptureDeviceManager.getDevice(new String("DirectSoundCapture"))
    3)CaptureDeviceInfo info = new CaptureDeviceInfo(com.sun.media.protocol.dsound.DataSource.NAME,new MediaLocator("dsound://"),null);
    4) Vector devices = (Vector) CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList(null).clone();
    5)Uncheck UAC(Vista User Access Control)
    6)Set IE settings least restrictive
    7)Try signed or unsigned recording Applet
    8)Pack the recording Applet to a jar and deploy to JRE\lib\ext
    9)Run JMFInit and copy the files in JMF\Lib to System32 folder
    On a few occasions, audio devices can be detected. For examples,
    10)Upgrading an HP XW4200 (XP machine with AC�97 codecs driver) to Vista,
    11)1/5 chance on the machines with both Sun JRE and MS Java SDK installed.
    12)Trying Item # 9. it worked once on one machine, but after rebuilding the machine, the same trick does not play.
    I am wondering if there is a way to let JMF-based applets detect audio devices on Vista or this is an inherent problem with JMF, IE and Vista.
    I would appreciate it very much if you�d kindly offer any help and suggestions.

    As many people reported, I encountered the same issue - CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList does not detect any audio device on IE/Vista.>(..in an applet)

    I would appreciate it very much if you'd kindly offer any help and suggestions. >I suspect the basic problem here, is the installer that defaults to preventing the applet access to record sound (I am guessing that would 'spill over' into web-cam permissions). A quick test of that is to try the same code as an application.
    If the application works, one possible fix is to launch the application using webstart. Webstart will work from a web page, and offers many other advantages over a standard applet.

  • Itunes won't detect my devices

    Itunes just updated and now it won't detect any devices plugged into the computer, such as our iPhones 5, and 4

    Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?

  • HT1212 I have forgotten my passcode for ipad and itunes is not "detecting a device in recovery mode."

    I have forgotten my passcode for ipad and itunes is asking passcode to be entered - even after following directions for computers not synced... multiple times, but iTunes is not "detecting a device in recovery mode."  What do I do now?

    DFU Restore
    This will very likley result in loss of data.
    Plug the iPhone into the computer.
    Ensure that it is running the latest version of iTunes and that it has access to the internet.
    Press and hold both the home and sleep/wake buttons for exactly eight seconds.
    Release only the sleep/wake button but continue to hold the home button for another five seconds.
    Let go of the home button, then look at the computer screen for an instructional popup.
    The popup should say "iTunes has detected a device in recovery mode. . .(etc)"  Click accept to all boxes and let iTunes download and install all of the latest device Firmware and Software.
    If no popup appears, repeat the above DFU instructions.  If you've never done a DFU, it may take about three attempts to get the timing right.

  • I have a macmini on order, I wonder if I can pair the wireless apple keyboard and magic touchpad without using any other input devices, especially, since everything is brand new and not yet paired.

    You may just want to save yourself any possible issues
    by just hooking up a wired keyboard and mouse on first
    start up.  Any USB keyboard and mouse should work.
    There have been many that have had problems on first boot
    using the Bluetooth devices.

  • Has anyone tried to pair the Tzumi bluetooth headphones to their iMac?  My iMac will detect the device, connect to it for about 2 seconds, then shows a status of "not connected".  Multiple attempts get the same result.

    Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
    I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.
