E1200 router/comcast

hi 
i just picked up the e1200 router on new years eve and it started working fine but now theres issues. the biggest issue we have is that with our various devices work and then they dont want to work. it varies but its usually 1 or 2 that decide to not work and work again.
i have tried numerous attempts at livechat to fix this and not the best solutions.
what happens is this various router address comes on the device and blocks any internet on it.
it usually is 192.168.15.2 and that wont let any internet go on the device.
my current cell phone had this ip show up and then it switches over to different functioning ips as i refresh the router etc. 
i hope its not a defective router and that it can be fixed or else ill exchange it.
but how do i permanently stop this problem?
i also have setting this error come up before your device is properly set up but could not work due to the dns server response.
would this all be due to comcast problem or a linksys problem?

Router Placement
Forum User - "Well I feel really dumb. After moving the router away from other electronic devices my speeds are back to normal. Just a heads up for anyone experiencing slow speeds, you might want to move it away from other electronics and see if that helps."
3-6' feet minimum safe distance between devices.
Placement on main level floor and central in the building and WELL ventilated is preferred. Not in basements or closets as building materials, or near by electronics devices could interfere or hinder good signal propagation.

  • E1200 Router will not load Instagram/Facebook/ Pinterest on mobile devices

    We have a Cisco Linksys E1200 router at home connected to our comcast modem.  Everything works great on our home computers and laptops, however on me and my wifes mobile devices (Samsung S5, Moto X) social media apps loads extremely slowly, or not at all.   If we connect to other access points in our house or elsewhere it works just fine.  
    Any idea what is causing this?  I set MTU to manual and that did not help.
    Thank you

    I should have stated, that I power cycled, updated apps, and updated firmware on the E1200 to the latest version.  Linksys tech support would not help me because the E1200 is out of the warranty period.

  • Updating firmware etc. for E1200 router

    When I bought my E1200 router my primary (in fact only) computer was a Windows laptop.  Since that time I bought a MacBook Pro and have been using that as my primary computer.  The Mac is running on the latest OS (Mountain Lion).
    I would like to install the latest software to maintain the router on my Mac but I was told several months ago that there was no update available for Mountain Lion.  Does anyone know if that has changed, and if so where can I download the appropriate software?
    Thank you.

    I suggest that you install the cisco connect software to another computer. But you can always manage the router manually by accessing the router interface. If you need to check the wireless settings, you can still do that even if you don't have cisco connect.
    Please check the link below how you can access the router interface:

  • Linksys E1200 Router not saving Port Forwarding changes

    Hi!
    I am currently attempting to port forward on my Linksys E1200 Router and am not succeeding in saving my settings. I am attempting to open port 25565 though both Single Port Forwarding and Port Range Forwarding, and whenever I click the "save settings" button, I receive a full window message stating that my changes have been saved. Upon clicking this, I return to the previous screen whereupon my changes have been erased and my port has not been forwarded. Can anyone assist me with this? I've searched for hours through forums and tech help websites, but I can't find anyone else with this issue.
    Issue:
    Linksys E1200 Router not saving Port Forwarding changes.
    I have tried:
    -Restarting the Modem
    -Restarting the browser
    -Restarting the computer
    -Tried to Port Forward through both the Single and Ranged Port Forwarding

    Hi there. You can try another browser or a different computer. If it is the same thing, upgrade the firmware of the router. You can refer to this link on how to http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=0a6881b90224439b92c8d8f19ca42e5d_21511.xml&pid=80&...

  • Can I upgrade an E1200 router to support Mavericks?

    I have a Mac and upgraded to Mavericks.  Now when I go to Cisco Connect, I get a message that says "Unsupported Operating System   The router software supports these operating systems: Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later, 10.6.1 or later, 10.7 or later"   What seems odd is that my computer is still connected wirelessly but our Samsung Smart TV is not.  Can my E1200 router be upgraded to 10.9?  I also had a problem with my Canon scanner not scanning and by uninstalling and reinstalling the problem was fixed.  Any chance uninstalling and reinstalling would work here?

    You cannot upgrade but if you need to get into your Lynskys router account to change your settings, passwords and all other options. Use the 'Opera' Browser (If you don't have it, download it for free) The default IP address is 192.168.1.1. Paste it in your browser and enter. It will ask you for your username and password. You will be in, and able to do anything you were able to do with the old software.
    Note. If you have OS X 10.9.1 Mavericks  It will NOT work on Safari, Firefox, or Chrome.

  • LAN IP keeps changing on my wireless internet camera using Linksys E1200 router

    Although it was working fine for about a month the LAN IP for my wireless internet camera now keeps changing almost on a daily basis for no apparent reason.   I am currently away from home and am unable to access the camera for live coverage until I determine and reset the IP.   Fortunately the camera is working and still sending emails on motion detection which includes a note with the IP which I then can use remotely access my local computer and then to the camera for live coverage but this is a time consuming method.    To be able to get access from my current location I then have to remotely log on to my home E1200 router and change the address in the port forwarding section of the routers setup program in order to use the new IP directly.  
    I know I could have avoided this problem by seting up the camera with a static IP but for some reason I had a problem doing so and due to time limitation I ended up accepting the dynamic IP assignment.
    What could be causing the change and more importantly is there anything I can do to the router setup to minimize the problem?

    There hasn't been a power failure at my house in over 3 weeks at least none that my UPS system has sensed but there have been many camera IP changes during that perioid .    Perhaps there has been some local power interuption to the camera or the router.   I wonder if a local power sag or surge might be sufficient for the camera to restart.   I guess further investigation will have to wait til I return and regardless of what I find I'll switch to a static IP for the futrue.   

  • CISCO E1200 ROUTER REDUCED BANDWIDTH THRUPUT

    I am experiencing signifcant bandwidth reduction at a range of about 30 feet from the router. I have a Cisco E1200 router. I have xfinity 30mps speeds. On a wired connection I got close to my 30mps speeds. On a wireless I receive about 25mps while I am within 5 feet of the router. As I run speed tests every five feet I am seeing a significant drop in speeds. At 30 feet I am lucky to get 3mps. The router broadcasts through two metal stud walls between the router and the 30 feet away.
    I have upgraded firmware, reset the router, disabled the QoS (WWM) option. The router is configured for WPA2 personal and is using Wi-Fi Protected Setup by defaults. At the time of testing only three devices were connected and only one was actively being utilized.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Neil

    That sounds normal. When you disabled WMM, you essentially turned it in in to a wireless G router. 25 Mbps is about all you're going to get with that 54 Mbps link speed. That's normal.
    Consider purchasing a refurb EA4500 for $65. You'll get better range and throughput. (But if you disable WMM, you'll be back in the same sinking boat).

  • E1200 Router Connecting Dlink DIP-714P+

    Dear All,
    I am replacing old D-Link DI-714P+ router with E1200.
    The old configuration was a printer connecting to D-Link router, and allow for wireless printing.
    Therefore, may I know how do I configure E1200 so that I still can print wirelessly, while connected to E1200 network.
    Assuming the printer still connected to Dlink router, can we print to E1200 then bridge to Dlink ?
    Thank you.
    regards,
    Chong KK

    If you will replace the old router with the E1200 you simply need to configure the router to work with the modem and setup the wireless settings using the CD. If the printer is connected wired to the Dlink router you simply need to disconnect it from the Dlink and connect it to the E1200 router. After doing that the printer should work and you should be able to do wireless printing. However if the printer is wireless capable and you want to connect that wirelessly to the E1200, then you will need to setup the wireless printer to connect to the wireless settings setup for the E1200 router (you can refer to your printer documentation for that).
    Now if you will leave the Dlink router connected and if you just want to cascade the E1200 router to it then there is a different configuration for that. Base on my understanding you want to leave the printer connected to the dlink and you would like to connect wirelessly to the E1200 router right? Then you need to connect the E1200's ethernet port (one of the yellow ports) to the Dlinks ethernet port as well. This is called LAN to Lan Connection. To know how to do that then click on the link below:
    Cascading (Connecting) a Linksys router to another router
    After doing it you can then Configure the wireless settings of the E1200 manually since you cannot setup the router using the CD with LAN to LAN configuration.

  • E1200 Router installation desired without modem/internet

    I purchased an E1200 wireless router with the intention of "connecting" three wireless laptops in our home (close proximity).  I do not desire internet with the connection and so didn't purchase a modem.  It will not install because I do not have it connected to a modem.  Am I able to install the router and use it with my three computers (for file sharing) without having a modem?  I need to return it ASAP if I cannot do that.  Thanks!

    You should be able to achieve your desired network setup using the E1200 router. Don’t run the setup cd as it will detect if you have internet connection or not. Just set it up manually. Hardwire it temporarily to one of your laptops and access the setup page from there. Once on the setup page, you just need to setup the wireless settings. For instructions, you may refer to this link: Setting up the wireless settings on the Linksys router using its web-based setup page. Make sure though the file and printer sharing is properly configured on the three laptops (e.g. make sure the computers are on the same workgroup, etc.).

  • E1200 Router Stability Problems

    Hi y'all! It's my first time posting here, so please be gentle...  I've been prowling the boards for some problems that may be quite similar to mine, but since I do not have the time to read each possible one (sorry, guys!), here it goes:
    I've recently acquired a Linksys E1200 router--which is more than a week old--from the recommendation of a friend of mine. The service is great and all, but the one thing that frequently bothers me is the seeming constant instability of my router's model. There are moments when the router performs smoothly, but there is as much an instance when I'm almost always pulling my hair out because the router doesn't seem to work at all even when the lights (and the accompanying connection) on my modem seem to be working in good order.
    I know that a router will always have its problems, but I just need to ask anyone here if this is really a constant problem with the E1200; and if so, if there's any way possible on how I can be able to "stabilize" the said router's performance. Any suggestion from you guys would be more than welcome. Thanks!  

    Hey guys!
    Sorry for the late reply, but as it turned out, I was also plagued with other technical problems--namely, my trusty laptop fizzling out on me after 5 years of hard work and service. BUT anyhoo...
    The wireless router I'm currently trying to set up is the Cisco Linksys E1200 with serial number 10810C64207218. I was able to successully install it last week, and that was mainly by sheer accident, via manual installation through my laptop which has wi-fi capabilites. The first one I tried installing the router on, on the other hand, is only LAN-enabled. Since then, it was two days of continuous unstable connection until I just discontinued using the router because of it. And yes, I did try the above suggestions of resetting the device and downloading the firmware, but it were still to no avail.
    However, since my wi-fi-enabled laptop is officially out of commission, I tried installing it now using a Gateway notebook (not sure if that's the right "name" for this brand) and on a Windows 7 OS by using the CD which came with the router. Because the notebook I'm now using is also LAN-enabled only, I think the installation process was partially hijacked because of it, and now I'm running out of ideas as to how I can make this week-old router work already.
    Again, any and all suggestions will be welcomed greatly. Thanks in advance for the help! 

  • E1200 Router + 02 RE1000 Range Extenders

    I got, at home, a Cisco Linksys E1200 router and two range extenders Linksys Cisco RE1000.
    My house has two floors. The router is at the office, on the second floor, right in the middle of the floor. Between it and one of repeaters (which is at my room, also on the second floor), there is another room. The second repeater is located downstairs, rigjht in front of the stairs. So it will be nearly bellow the router (which is at the second floor, as I said above). I mean, that way, the router is between the two RE1000.
    Those devices are pretty easy to set up. Even for those who know nothing about networks, like myself. And everything was set up without any problem. And the devices are all the same brand.
    With everything turned on, I see the signal strength indicators on the deivces (like iPads, laptos, Samrt TV, smartphones) and everything seems to work fine.
    However, sometimes, when you I go downstairs, although the signal is being displayed on the phone (Galaxy S3), for example, as the strongest, there is no internet connection, or it is really slow.
    I do not know if I made myself clear. I'll try to improve ... I'm accessing the internet through my Galaxy S3, for example, upstairs. I go down and signal is strong, but cannot connect to the internet. The I go upstairs and got connected again ... If I connect my S3 when I’m downstairs, it goes ok. It is like there are two different networks with the same SSID. Is it possible?
    I have already reset and reconfigured repeaters more than once and it keeps happening. I do not know what might be happening. Can somebody help me??
    Yesterday (april 11th) I had a chat session for one and a half hour. The assistant was very nice and patient. He helped me with some manual set ups in the E1200 and in the two RE1000. After that set ups the quality bars of both extenders became stronger (before it was 2 of 5 bars, then we got 3 bars).
    But I really think the connectivty issue remains. I'm really newbie in networks and stuff like that, but I really feel it is like if I have two different networks with the same SSID and the same password in each floor of my house.
    I hope I made myself clear. It's quite difficult try to explain it in english (I'm from Brazil)...

    There are so many reasons why wireless connection may be strong or weak, I have a few listed below:
    Distance-related problems
    Physical obstructions
    Wireless interferences
    Transmit rate on the wireless router
    Outdated firmware on the router
    Power outage
    You have not mentioned here the wireless settings on the router like the network mode, SSID, channel and the type of wireless security used because they will actually have an impact. I suggest, you modify the wireless settings on the router. For network mode, keep it on mixed. Change the SSID (network name) to something unique not just the one that came with the router. Play around for the wireless channel (3,6,9,11) and use WPA2 Personal for the wireless security. On the range extenders, you may vary the wireless channel. It is better to choose different range on each of them. You can also make use of this tool to help who choose the channel which has less interference or not commonly used, http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/

  • E1200 router: very slow download speeds, ok uploady got

    I recently set up a new E1200 router to replace my old one. We are having problems with very slow download speeds (often <0.10 Mbps) even while the upload speeds are OK (8-10 Mbps). Our previous download speed over wifi was 10-15 Mbps.
    When I first set it up, the download speed was very poor on the initial computer. After fooling around, it was fine. I don't know what I did that made it speed up. However, my wife's computer has had very poor download speeds. After rebooting my computer, the download speed has also dropped bak to <0.10. I was able to stream Hulu on my Wii just fine an hour ago.
    What could the problem be?

    So we could have this isolated, check how much speed you’re getting straight to the modem so we’ll have some point of comparison that from your internet provider. If through the router, you have struggles with not getting an acceptable value for download speed especially if it only happens with the wireless connection, you can try these: change the wireless channel and the wireless security on the router. If on the router, you have the channel set to auto by default change it to (3,6,9,11), just have to play around with it. Moreover, for the wireless security, select WPA2 Personal. If that doesn’t make any difference, update the firmware of the router, reset and have it reconfigured.

  • E1200 Router with poor signal and low speeds

    Hello, I just bought an E1200 router, which is downstairs and about 50 ft away from me. I have only about 60% signal strength, and my speed test when connected wirelessly is only 5mbit up,4mbit down. I plugged my computer into the router via ethernet and I get 30mbit up, and 5mbit down.
    Are there any settings you could suggest to improve this? I tried several channels already, none above 60% it seems.

  • E1200 Router blocking my server.

    Hello Everyone,
    I have a E1200 router and I am running a server from my house. For some reason, I can see the server on the LAN, but not over the internet. I used to run a WRTG router and it worked fine, but I changed routers because this one has DHCP Reservation. I enabled the DMZ and put in my servers LAN i.p. did the port forwarding with the same lan i.p., but for some reason, it is still not letting the server be pinged from outside the lan. Any Ideas? A test site I have on the server is www.biddock.com . It is just a test page right now.
    Thanks,
    Dan

    I think I figured it out, now I just need to find out how to fix it.
    On my server, I was using a WRTG router when I frist setup the server, now I changed to the new "N" router. The new router has a different name and password than the old router, so I believe, all I need to do is update my linux server with the new name and password of the new router so that machine can access the net through the router. The only problem is that I don't know what command(s) to use to do that. I have been searching online to no avail.
    Thanks,
    Dan

  • Trying to use E1200 Router as AP

    OK, got a big house.  Bought a new Linksys WRT router which covers most of the house.  My office has a CAT5 cable from the main router, which I had an older Router that I used as an access point,  but I was only getting 12 MB or so downloads but I can get 100MB hardwired and 60 MB from my new router. 
    The basic problem is that I wanted to set up a new AP, but I decided I would buy a E1200/N300 router,  because I want high speed wifi as well as 4 hard wired cables.  Could not find a AP like that. 
    I configured the main router for DHCP  to give up to 192.168.1.100 and assigned the new AP to 101.  I turned off DHCP on the AP, thinking that DHCP would pass through (like my old router/access point) the DHCP request and pass the new IP. 
    Thing is,  no luck. 
    So did I buy someting that won't work  ?  Am I missing something ? 
    Andy

    Hi Aknipp. Getting an E1200 and configuring it as an access point by cascading it to the main router via LAN to LAN is a good move, but if you want to extend your existing network while at the same time having more LAN ports for more hard wired devices, check out the new RE6500 wireless extender. It is a wireless extender with four gigabit Ethernet ports. This could be the device you're looking for.
