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.

  • Would like to setup guest network apple airport extreme will only allow limited access

    imac 10.9.3 connected to internet with airport extreme /xfinity router trying to setup guest network can't connect to internet

    The guest network feature of the Apple routers will work correctly when the Apple device connects to a simple modem.......not a modem/router or gateway type of device.
    If the guest network feature is important to you, check with your Internet Service Provider to see if they can supply you with a simple modem......which will then allow the guest network feature to work correctly on your network.

  • How to setup Guest Network Name in Cisco Router

    Hello everyone!
    The first. Sorry my english =)
    I want tald you how to change guest network name in cisco (what have different name)
    What we need.
    1. Cisco Connect for Mac OSX (i use snow leopard and Cisco Connect for E3000)
    2. Terminal
    Okay. Let's go.
    1. Install Cisco Connect for OSX
    2. After setup - slighty setup your cisco router (give something name and password), then, when cisco connect say you "You now connected the internet" and going to main screen - exit from cisco connect
    3. Open Terminal (Or you can use Finder (go to Application, show package content Cisco Connect))
    4. Go to /Application/Cisco Connect.app/Contents/Resources/lcid/<your setup language, for english - go 1033>/
    5. Edit resource_strings.pus (vi resource_strings.pus)
    6. Change "-guest" in string <LocalizableString RcFileId='10019' BaseTextHash='0xA65E286D' BaseText='-guest'/> for something what you want. For example, i changed for ' Guest Network'
    7. Save
    8. Open Cisco Setup
    9. Go to router configuration and change desired name. I changed to 'Grizlly Bear'
    10. After setup name - go to Guest Setting and Enable. As you can si, your guest network name set as 'Grizlly Bear Guest Network'
    11.Exit Cisco Setup
    12. Go to web interface setup
    13. Setup Wifi manual and change SSID for diferent names. I change 5Gh to 'Grizlly Bear Hi-Speed Network' and 2.4GHz to 'Grizlly Bear Main Network'
    14. Setup your hostname for all services (fileserver, media server, etc)
    Woala!
    We have three diferent names network!
    Questions?

    In order to enable Guest networking, the AirPort Extreme must be configured as your "main" Internet router. In this configuration, Connection Sharing = Share a Public IP address. The Extreme would be connected directly to the Internet modem and NOT downstream of another router with NAT enabled.
    In this configuration, the Guest network would provide access ONLY to the Internet and NOT to your LAN.

  • Setup Guest Network with OS X Server and Airport Extreme - NEED HELP!

    Hi All,
    So I have a small business with a Mac Mini Server (10.6.5) and an Airport Extreme. The Airport is handling the routing and DHCP duties, while the Server is handling the DNS. The Airport is pointed to pull DNS from the Server. All internal systems work great accessing the internet and folders on the Server.
    I need to setup a Guest network for internet access, so I turned this function on in the Airport Extreme. It sets up fine, but if you connect to that new Guest Network the system hangs trying to open a web page. My thinking is since the Server is the one handling the DNS it is not working for Guest computers since they are not part of our internal network. At least that is my theory, I could be wrong.
    With this type of setup what do I need to modify to get this working? Anyone have any ideas?

    After trying for days to figure this out I was finally able to get a working solution and I now have my APE providing a guest and main network while using my lion server as the Dsn server for the main network.
    The setup is a bit of a hack and does require you to have at least two devices with staticly assigned ip information on the main network but it does allow you to serve dhcp for both networks from the server and make some services available to the guest network such as iTunes remote for parties.
    1) delete your custom Dns entries from the Internet settings in the APE and set two dhcp reservations for .2 and .3 (in this case my Mac mini server and my airport express)
    2) reduce the dhcp range to only have 2 available IPs (10.0.1.2-10.0.1.3) and save settings
    3) on a computer connected to the main network install wireshark and begin sniffing for packets. Connect at least one device to your guest network and look for any packets that have an ip from your guest network (usually 172.16.42.x) once you capture one of these packets expand the vlan information. This should list a vlan ID ( in my case this was 1003. I would suspect this is universal but do not know)
    4) on your server open network preferences, click the gear at the bottom and click "manage virtual interfaces", add a vlan that matches the vlan ID from above. Click ok and apply your settings. The vlan interface should get an ip in the guest network range from your APE.
    * if you are running lion you will need to install server admin tools before proceeding*
    5) open server admin and add the dhcp service. Create an entry for your primary network (ex: 10.0.1.x) make the dhcp range one higher than the settings in step 2 ( ie: 10.0.1.4 to 10.0.1.253) assign this to the physical interface. Make sure this entry has your internal DNA servers
    6) add another entry for the guest networks ip range (ex: 172.16.42.x) again set it one ip higher than step 2 ( 172.16.42.4 to 172.16.42.253) save and activate both ranges. Assign this range to the vlan interface. Make sure this entry either contains your isps dns servers or another public dns server. Turn on dhcp.
    Because you have now assigned the only two addresses in the APEs pool for your primary network to static entries there will not be any addresses to assign and the APE will not respond to requests. This will allow your server to pick up the work of assigning IPs. As for your guest network, the APE will assign IPs for two host and then stop. Your clients may either get an IP from the APE or the osx server so both should have the same info. Just make sure the two static clients on your main network have the local DNA servers entered manually.

  • On a network with multiple airports (extreme, express, + time capsule), do they all have to be "guest" capable devices in order to offer guest networking?

    Here's the situation: I have three older devices:
    a1254 Time Capsule
    a1134 airport extreme
    a1264 express
    none of these support guest networking, according to Apple. If I add a newer Extreme (3rd gen or higher) that support guest networks, will that be possible to offer to guests within range of the Extreme, -OR- do I have to upgrade my entire network of Apple wifi devices? Help appreciated, esp if you have such a setup. thanks!

    The problem here is guest network only works if the Apple Router is indeed the main router.. you cannot setup guest network on a bridged router. Although it appears you can, it doesn't actually work.
    You could modify the network setup..
    Use one device dedicated to a secondary guest network. This would actually work better than using guest but you should have some way to prevent access to computers from guest.. that may be easy or hard depending on the modem you are using.

  • Guest Network access

    Hello,
    Im trying to setup access for our guests to go out a specific interface/ISP
    We have our main connection to our datacenter.
    We also have a little SAT Receiver that we get internet from (10MB).
    I want a specific vlan to go out ONLY to that SAT Receiver connection. Here is my setup:
    Guest Network
    vlan 216
    name WIFI-Guests
    SAT Receiver
    interface Vlan70
    ip address 192.168.151.2 255.255.255.0
    interface Vlan216
    description Guest WIFI
    ip address 10.2.16.1 255.255.255.0
    ip helper-address 10.2.1.26
    Can this be done via vrf, and how? Or is there an easier way?
    Thanks...

    Just noticed that you are using an ip helper-address which means you won't be able to use a VRF effectively as your guest network needs access to the vlan with the DHCP server in it.
    Assuming you want to keep DHCP for this network on the DHCP server then probably PBR is better ie.
    access-list 101 permit udp any any eq bootps log
    access-list 102 permit ip 10.2.16.0 0.0.0.255 any
    route-map PBR permit 10
    match ip address 101
    route-map PBR permit 20
    match ip address 102
    set ip next-hop
    int vlan 216
    ip policy route-map PBR
    note that with the above the first acl has to allow DHCP to get through to the DHCP server. Normally with PBR you would simply use just the one acl eg.
    access-list 101 deny udp any any eq bootps
    access-list 101 permit ip 10.2.16.0 0.0.0.255 any
    but with the 3750 (and some other switches) if you use deny lines in the acl this can cause CPU issues on the switch. So a different acl is used for each PBR entry. The first PBR permit entry uses acl 101 and simply matches DHCP traffic and does nothing so it is routed normally. The second PBR permit statement uses acl 102 and matches all other traffic ie. internet and sends it to the SAT device.
    Also worth saying that all traffic is sent to the SAT device but you should also apply an acl on the SVI for vlan 216 to stop traffic from vlan 216 clients to other vlans. The PBR would send this to the SAT device anyway but the SAT device might then route it back to the switch which you don't want. So your acl would look like -
    access-list 103 permit udp any any eq bootps
    access-list 103 deny ip 10.2.16.0 0.0.0.255
    etc. for each internal subnet
    access-list 103 permit ip 10.2.16.0 0.0.0.255 any
    int vlan 216
    ip access-group 103 in
    Hope all that makes sense. If not please come back with any questions you have.

  • Trying to set up a wireless guest network using Airport base station.  The first network setup was fine but the second one doesn't work.  Any suggestions?

    I purchased the new Airport base station that allows for a wireless setup of a primary network and a guest network.  The primary network installation worked great but I cannot get the guest network to work properly.  Any suggestions on how to make it work?

    The AirPort base station is designed to connect to a simple modem......not a modem/router or gateway device that is often furnished to users by Internet Service Providers.
    So, the first troubleshooting question would be to find out what the make and model of the device that you call your "modem" might be.....to see if you have the right kind of product that will allow the Guest Network to operate correctly.

  • How to setup a guest network when the dialogue boxes do not show up in AirPort Utility 6.1

    How do I setup a guest network when the dialogue boxes do not show up in AirPort Utility 6.1?
    I see screenshots where there are boxes to 'enable' guest network but these simply do not apear on the Wireless tab in AirPort Utility

    I now have a guest account, thanks to you!
    I did the factory reset and was able to set up the guest account.
    There were 3 problems, all of which I was able to solve.
    The first problem was connect to Ethernet, which I selected by WAN port, as shown in the first screen shot. This page used to read just Ethernet and the Bridge Mode.
    The second problem was whether to share a range of addresses or share a public IP address. I selected share a public IP address as shown in the first screen shot. I had tried the range of IP addresses in my earlier attempts, the ones that failed. Hopefully this will have no effect.
    I have forgotten what the third problem was - only excuse is a few too many flavored drinks. I didn't have any problems solving it though.
    What is really weird is I can log on to Guest and use on my iPad (first generation), my wife's iPod Touch (third generation), and my wife's 2011 MacBook Pro. I can't log onto Guest on my 2008 iMac, even after a restart. I get the image below.
    Since I don't lug my iMac around a lot and it is connected by Ethernet, while my little make it right brain says figure this out, I am not going to worry about it.
    Thank you again for your time and patience in helping me solve this.

  • How to setup a guest network on an airport extreme?

    I just bought the new airport extreme and I havent been able to find the prompt that allows me to create a guest wifi network.  Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Javier Vazquez

    I just bought the new airport extreme and I havent been able to find the prompt that allows me to create a guest wifi network.
    The article that hanuolaohu posted is interesting, but it never tells you that the AirPort Extreme must be connected to a simple modem to allow the Guest Network feature to be enabled.
    If you have a "gateway" or "modem/router" device, this acts as another router on the network....not as a simple modem...so the Guest Network tab will not appear when you try to setup the device.
    So, first we need to check on the device that you call your "modem". What is the make and model number of this device?

  • How to setup the guest network just access internet only (not touch in internal server)

    I had setup the AirPort Extreme in basic and guest network, but observed the guest can access to our server currently, for the security issue, we can setup the guest network to access internet only? pleae advice and thanks

    By default, a properly configured Guest network on the AirPort Extreme only allows network clients to access the Internet. No access to the "main" network's resources should be available.
    This is assuming that the AirPort Extreme is the only or "main" router in your current network configuration.

  • E3000 guest network web-based setup

    I replaced an old router with E3000. Since I already had a number of clients connected, I used the web-based setup program to duplicate the old routers configuration. Now it seems there's no easy way to manage (rename, e.g.) the guest network from the web-based setup program. To use Linksys Connect, I need to go back to square one on the router and redo the whole network setup by resetting the router to its factory defaults and then doing everything thru Linksys Connect. Is there some way to get at guest settings thru web-based setup?
    Thanks

    Right. I went ahead and set it up using the built-in menus. I set the SSID to something new, passowrds, etc. Only after I had everything running did I turn to the guest network. It is now called ROUTER-GUEST (not related to my SSID, btw) and has an unknown password.  So it appears that if I want to use the guest network, I must do the whole thing over from square one. Just brilliant to have the menus built in to the router be unable to access some of the features that are available in it.

  • Where is the "Guest Network" Setup?

    All,
    I picked up a new Airport Extreme (AE) from our local Apple store this afternoon. I have been wanting to move our Drobo to a shared USB port, as well as have the option for a "Guest Network". We have lots of Geek buddies and relatives over on the weekends and evenings and I have never liked giving them access to our wireless network, and all that has to offer.
    Out of the box, to completely setup (except for the guest network) including sharing the Drobo, Bridging to our FIOS Router, and re-configuring our primary wireless network took less than 20 minutes. (I was VERY impressed) And the network is really quick!
    With that said, I can not find anywhere to setup the guest network???? There is no tab, Icon or option under any of the settings in the Airport Utility.
    What am I missing here?
    Please help!

    With that said, I can not find anywhere to setup the guest network???? There is no tab, Icon or option under any of the settings in the Airport Utility.
    o AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > AirPort > Guest Network
    The AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) must be configured to "Share a public IP address" for this tab to appear in the AirPort Utility.

  • HT4145 Does the new Airport Extreme allow "guest network" setup across all my Airports on my network? I have 1 Airport as a router and 6 others as WAP's (bridged)

    Does the new Airport Extreme allow "guest network" setup across all my Airports on my network? I have 1 Airport as a router and 6 others as WAP's (bridged)

    I assume that all of your WAPs are hard wired on the network.
    If.....all of your WAPs are simultaneous dual band Apple AirPort devices like an AirPort Extreme or new AirPort Express.....and.....you have firmware version 7.6.3 (now 7.6.4) installed on all the AirPorts.....and.....you use AirPort Utility 6.3.1 to configure the devices......in theory.....it should work.
    I don't have 6 WAPs, but I do have 3 and the network works perfectly allowing extension of both the "main" and "guest" network.

  • Guest Network Setup

    I have a Linksys EA4500 setup on my corporate network for wireless access.   I have enabled the guest network and from all I can tell it's on a seperate subnet from my internal network like it should be. 192.168.x.x   My internal is on a 10.x.x.x network.  I conenct to the guest network using a laptop and I'm prompted for a password to get to the internet, which I like.  The one issue I'm seeing is when I'm connected to the guest network I can still do an RDP session to internal resources.   How is this possible if the guest network is on a seperate subnet?
    I take a laptop which has not been joined to my domain, connect to the guest ssid, and then open an RPD session and enter an IP address for an internal server and it connects.   Is there a setting to keep this from happening?

    this might be something you have to do. by design the Guest Network should only allow internet access and with it being a "virtual network", should prevent communication with other computers in the network.
