E2000 network guest

Just purchased an E2000 router and just had it set up. I have my network named as "yoondoggy" and the wifi is secured. When I go to search for a network on my laptop, I noticed that there was another network named "yoondoggy-guest" that isn't secure. How would I go about deleting that network?
edit - Nevermind, just figured out how to disable it.

You can disable the guest network using the Cisco connect software.
It shows that it is unsecured but there is a password for internet access. That means anyone can connect to the network but can not access the Internet without the password.
The guest network is different from your private wireless network. This is very convenient especially if you always have guests in your home who would like to access the Internet.
When guests connect to the Guest network, they can connect to the Internet but will not have access to computers and devices which are connected to your E2000 Router.  The Guest network is actually a virtual network which is separate from your local network.
The Guest network is a virtual network which operates on a different IP address range (192.168.33.x).  This allows your guests to connect to the Internet without becoming a part of your local network.

  • [network]-guest appears in list of available networks

    the wowway helped set up linksys router after installing internet service today. i've just noticed that, in addition to that network, available networks also shows [network]-guest. this guest network also says unsecured. i am connected to [network] and it's secured. how can i get rid of the guest network? how did this happen? was something done incorrectly? 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I think your router supports a Guest network. It may appear as an unsecured network because it doesn’t show the protected/locked image, but it’s actually secured using a different security scheme. Disabling the Guest network depends on the router you are using.
    For routers using Linksys Connect software:
       Open the Linksys Connect software, click Guest access, select no under Allow guest accessand then click Finish.
    For instructions on disabling the Guest network using the web-based setup page:
       Access the web-based setup page, click Wireless then click Guest Access, select no and then click Save Settings.
    To disable Guest Access through Linksys Smart Wi-Fi:
       Log in to your Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Account, click the Guest Access Toolthen set the toggle button to OFF under Allow guest access.

  • E2000 Setup Guest Network

    I've had E2000 set up with Main Network and Guest Network for 2 yrs.  My son got a new pc and wasn't getting internet connection and was told to push reset on router.  When he did that internet connection was lost on all devices.   I manually was able to get my pc setup and then the other devices.  The only thing I don't have is the guest network for his pc which I had before. 
    Is the Cisco Connect software cd the only way to setup guest network?  If I originally set it up with a cd, it's been misplaced.  I don't see it listed among my software programs.  Is there a download for Cisco Connect?  If I download and install Cisco Connect is there anyway to keep it from wiping out all my settings on my other devices?  Can I just setup the guest network?
    While guests are using the guest network is their personal data secure like the main network?

    The Guest access feature can only be managed using the Cisco Connect software. I believe the Linksys E2000 doesn’t have any guest settings built-in on its web-based utility which means you have to use their Cisco Connect software to activate the guest feature of the router.  Cisco Connect wouldn’t wipe out the settings on the computer but it requires resetting the router to factory settings before it can be successfully reinstalled. In terms of security, the guest network is secured but it’s tricky (this put me insane before seeing it as an open network) because it still shows up as an unsecured network since its security is through the browser itself upon going to the internet. Overall, the guest network is a separate secured network that provides internet access for your guests. Try using the links below to resolve your issue.

  • E2000 - Networking Help for Whole Home Connection

    Hey all
    Wondering if you can help.  We just had a home built and trying to figure it out.
    Here is a flow:
    Motorola SB6141 Cable Modem - Linksys E2000 - Linksys 8 Port Switch (Basement)
    We have a Motorola SB6141 Cable Modem connected to our Linksys E2000.  Both the wireless and PCs connected to the wired ports of E2000 work fine. 
    However, I want to connect a ethernet cable to the wired port of the E2000 and have that run into the Cat5 port in the wall which then ends in the basement.  I want to use that 'live' wire which ends in the basement networking cupboard to plug into the uplink port of a Linksys 8 port router in the basement.  Then all the other rooms with Cat5 ports will plug into the other 7 wired ports.  However in the other rooms when I plug a PC into the ethernet port they state 'acquring network' and then when I go to a website it doesnt have any connectivity.  
    THoughts on what I am doing wrong.
    Ursula

    I agree with luce.eveningstar. Remove the switch first and check if you can go online using the cable from the wall that connects to your router. Make sure that you are able to go online that way first so that you will know if that is a cable connection problem or not. If you cannot go online, check if you are getting a valid ip addres and ping the router and see if you can get replies.
    I have noticed this though, not sure if it applies to all types of switch, do not connect a device right beside the port that you are using for the router.

  • E1000 has 2 networks #### - Guest and also ####

    Having just installed the E1000 why have I got a public network address '####' which is security type WPA2 -PSK and also public  network address '#### - Guest'  which is security type - unsecured.
    Anyone can log onto either wireless network connection but only with the correct password.
    How do I remove the '####' address and also how do I make the '#### - Guest' address a secure one.

    You can't.

  • ISE to do wireless network guest access services

    Hi Forumers'
    I need to know how WLC can support ISE guest management in wireless mode.
    Tested and confirm by Cisco SE, Knowing that WLC currently does not support dynamic VLAN authorization for central web authentication. This limitation will be addressed in WLC 7.2 when MAB and CWA support is added to the code. On the other hand, DACLs on the other hand works and we can use that to restrict access of this guest traffic.
    So, option now is
    1. Can ISE support on WLC LWA guest access provision? This able to view guest user login and show at ISE monitoring.
    thanks
    Noel

    What you don't have at the moment with ISE and WLC is :
    -dynamic vlan asisgnement for webauth
    -the double-authentication (provoked by Radius CoA) required for central web authentication.
    For the rest, all is ok I think. So Local web authentication is supported. Either the webauth is handled by the WLC or you configured it as external on the WLC and the ISE acts as a guest portal.
    Guest users will be the guests you create on ISE, monitoring will happen etc ...

  • Cascading EA4500s and Guest Network access

    Hi, I hope esomone can help me here. I've got two EA4500 routers connected via ethernet. The primary router has DHCP enabled and the secondary has it disabled. IP address of primary is 192.168.1.1 and the secondary is 192.168.1.2.
    I have set up guest access on both routers however only the primary router allows users to connect. When out of range of the primary router but in range of the secondary router the network is visible but when you try to connect to it, it only gives limited or no connectivity message and can't connect to the internet.
    Is it possible for the guest network access to follow the same pattern as the secure network, i.e. the same network throughout the house?
    Regards
    Jon

    Cascading two routers should have correct parameters set. For instance, the Ethernet port of the secondary router should be connected to the ethernet port of the primary one, and the DHCP should be disabled on the second router. The ip address you've set are correct for the both routers. This thing shoud be done if the connection is LAN to LAN.
    By the way there are two types of cascading: Click here for info!
    For the Guest Network:
    Guest Network would only work if the the DHCP is enabled on your router. It means to say that on the type of setup you're doing which is LAN to LAN (DHCP disabled on the second router), Guest network would not work on the secondary router. If the connection is LAN to WAN, then both of the router should have Guest Network working.

  • AirPort Extreme - No guest network tab

    I'm trying to create a guest network but there is no guest tab on the utility menu... How can I resolve? Thanks!!

    It doesn't say simultaneous dual band... Is that the issue?
    Yes. You have an older version of the AirPort Extreme. It is not possible to "update" or "upgrade" the older version to the +simultaneous dual band+ version.
    anything else i can do to set up a separate guest access
    You could add an AirPort Express and connect it to the AirPort Extreme with an ethernet cable. Configure the Express with a different wireless network name and password. The downside to this type of setup is that "guests" will be able to "see" the devices on your network...other computers, hard drives, etc.
    If you get the simultaneous dual band version of the AirPort Extreme and setup the Guest Network, "guests" will be able to connect to the Internet, but they will not be able to "see" any of the devices on your main or "private" network.

  • With Timed Access List on, Guest users cannot access Guest network.

    I have a ABS with 7.5 version. In the Timed Access window i have default set to "no access". Then, all the computers that are allowed access to the main network are on the list. Then i have the main network hidden. My guest network is broadcasting but when a user tries to connect to it, they get a "Unable to connect". If I change the default access in Timed Access to "Everyday", users are then able to connect to the Guest network again.
    Obviously, this is a bug. I don't want people accessing the main network that aren't on the timed access list. However, I still want guest users to access the Guest Network.
    It looks to me that the Timed Access window is controlling the restriction of the Guest and Main network, when it should only be controlling the Main only.
    Hopefully, apple has noted this issue and will be fixed on the new update. If other people are experiencing this problem, Please let me know.
    -Ghost

    Apple just updated the airport to 7.5.1. But there is still a problem with the the guest network not allowing access. If the "Unlimited" is set to "No Access" in the access list it prevents anybody from accessing the guest network. It should only deny your Main wireless Network.
    In other words, the Access List is controlling the access for both wireless networks(Guest and Main network)
    Either apple needs to create two Access Lists, One for Main network, and One for guest network. Or just have to option to choose which Network you want to restrict leaving the second one open for all.

  • Airport Extreme - Guest Network - Bandwidth Control

    Hello Everyone,
    I'm in need to deploy a solution to someone in a bar and I wanted to know if it's possible to do it with the Airport Extreme of Apple.
    I already saw some study cases, and I not sure if it's possible to do what I pretend.
    This is the cenario:
    The user have in his office an ISP router with wireless that provides him with network connectivity for all his devices, in his office.
    But where the clients are the signal doesn't get there, so we passed a cable to the bar, and we want to deploy there network guest access to the clients.
    The thing is that we want to make the clients network to don't have access to the internal network devices, and then to controll at what velocity then can connect. Providing sometimes higher speeds, and other times lower speeds. (bandwidth management / limited).
    Is it possible for me to use the Airport extreme for that? If not, do I have any other solution?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards!

    As stated this is not consumer level router functionality.
    You either need a router that takes a third party firmware.. eg Gargoyle.. just google for it as I am not allowed to post details.
    Or you need a pro wireless hotspot solution. These are expensive..$500-1000 but work without bothering the business owner.. you provide each person who buys a drink a printout ticket with username and password.. which allow both limited time and bandwidth. It is better than just making a free for all. There are also methods where people can login with credit card details.. but I think it is better to use the ticket type system.
    For a cheap free for all.. as I said look at gargoyle.

  • E4200 guest wireless redirect failure in Bridged Mode: cause & solution.

    Background:
    I have two E4200 v1 routers, both running the 1.0.04 firmware, both running in Bridged Mode.
    On one, guest wireless redirect works perfectly: select the Network-guest SSID, open a browser and you get the Cisco login page, enter the passphrase and bingo, you're connected.
    On the other unit, the redirect seems to fail. You are never presented with the login page and so, you are never connected.
    After hours of mucking about, including some time on the phone with a very patient engineer, I believe I have stumbled on what's actually going on and possibly, what needs to be done to fix it.
    The Problem
    The firmware assumes that in Bridged Mode, DNS should come from the Gateway IP address.
    The Fix
    Linksys should include a field in Bridged Mode that allows you to specify an IP for the DNS server.
    Diagnostics
    To diagnose the problem, I used a Mac OS X machine.
    The network is set up like this:
    Router (not the E4200) is at 10.0.0.1
    DNS server is at 10.0.0.2
    E4200, Bridged Mode as a WAP, is at 10.0.0.253.
    E4200's network settings are:
    IP: 10.0.0.253
    Subnet: 255.255.255.0
    Gateway: 10.0.0.1
    The problem is that the Linksys firmware assumes that DNS and the gateway are at the same IP. You will note that there is no place in the Bridged Mode settings to specify a DNS server IP address.  You can prove this by doing the following:
    1. Connect to the guest wireless. 
    2. In a Terminal window, type cat /etc/resolv.conf and press Enter.  You'll see this:
    nameserver 10.0.0.1
    nameserver 192.168.33.1
    This tells us that when you're on the guest network, your machine is looking for DNS results from 10.0.0.1. Except that on many networks, the gateway does not supply DNS. You can prove that DNS is working by typing this into a Terminal window:
    dig yahoo.com
    You should see a result similar to this:

    Lucky:~ aball$
    As a side note: the reason that the login page is never presented is most likely that the login page is only presented the first time that your Mac OS X machine connects to the network. Thereafter, the network is remembered and the WAP allows you access without a password. So, once you've connected a second time to the network, the WAP says "I know you" and lets you sail on through to wherever your browser is pointed, but then the browser, unable to find a DNS server, returns a blank page which appears to be a failure to present the login page but is, in fact, a DNS failure.
    Hope someone finds this useful. And here's hoping that Linksys fixes this obvious issue with the firmware.

    I do understand what you were trying to do here since you would like to have only 2 SSIDs (main & guest) for perhaps easy connectivity. The reason why you were not having problems getting online wirelessly when you were connected to the main network it’s because the computer was connected to only one DHCP server since the 2 bridge routers were just acting as a switch or a passthrough device. Now with guest network access it is a different scenario, a guest network is a virtual network meaning to say it’s like your having another router embedded on your router. Since it is a virtual network, then it does not follow the parameters of the main network, hence even if the router was set to bridge mode those routers will still have their own ip address of either 192.168.33.1 or 192.168.3.1.

  • How To: Setting up two WLANs (Private and Guest) - two distinct IP schemes.

    WLC 2504 running software version 7.4.100.0.
    Goal:
    Private WLAN to allow access to internal network
    Guest WLAN to allow access to web (in the DMZ)
    We currently have the wifi-network running and is servicing web access only.
    Any ideas on how best to go about this? There will be need to assign two different IPs to wireless clients depending on which WLAN they access.
    Thanks.

    Hello Daniel,
    So in order to segregate traffic based on the WLAN they are connecting to, you will first need to establish/create dynamic interfaces on your controller which will be 'mapped' to a specific SSID(ie. Private or Guest):
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/7.4/configuration/guides/consolidated/b_cg74_CONSOLIDATED_chapter_011111.html#ID594
    If you already have the dynamic interfaces in place, you simply just create the WLAN under WLANs > Create New > Go.  Once you apply, you will be sent to the 'General' section where you can apply the 'Interface' to the dynamic interface you created in which to put the client on. 
    Cheers,

  • New network/port forwarding questions

    I just replaced my Airport Extreme with a 1TB TC and set up a primary network (AirNett) and a Guest network (Guest). I added Port Mapping entries for my computers (running Tiger), SlingBoxes and ReplayTVs (which are all ethernet-connected) and I have 1 laptop running Leopard and 1 running Tiger. We also have 2 iPhones.
    The wired devices all seem to connect just fine. Occasionally, there is a delay in the connection (30 sec-1 min), but once it connects, they seem to stay connected.
    The laptops take too long to connect to the AirNett network. If they do connect, it seems that the connection comes and goes. The iPhones have yet to connect to AirNett.
    The Guest network serves all the wireless devices just fine, BUT, it does not allow connections to the Port Forwarding devices.
    So, 2 issues... any ideas about :
    1) why my primary network (AirNett) is not working properly for my wireless devices and
    2) why my Guest network does not allow the Port Forwarding connections.
    TIA for any suggestions.

    That was my point - all my lan ports that use port 80 can point at port 80, and long as the WAN ports point at something else. The trouble is, I am restricted to only using 80,81 and 443 on the LAN side, which limits me to 3 (not counting 8080 for my routers web gui)
    So that means with my two web cams and web gui on my NAS drive, I am unable to log into any other web interfaces on my LAN, unless I log into my router first, disable one port forward and enable another (using the same WAN port of 80 or 81) - which is doable but a PITA..
    This is what is looks like on the router:
    For example, if I change the port from field for the "tranmission" entry to anything but 80 or 81, it will not work, so if I want to get into my torrent gui on my NAS drive I have to disable "cam1" and enable "transmission"
    I checked with my ISP and they are not blocking any ports, so I'm not sure how to get around this, unless I can serve up a page that shows feeds from more than one camera and serve it from one source, ie my router or NAS drive.
