E3200 - Can't connect to DSL

Purchased this to replace a WRT54GL Linksys that is starting to act flaky. I needed it right away, or else I would have bought it from Amazon instead of a local wallyworld last night at 10:00PM. The interface is simple and not confusing. It was easy to hook up and get into the menus on my desktop, but was unable to connect to my local DSL through their modem. The online support person manually registered the MAC address with their server, but this router would not grab an IP address from their server. My local DSL uses automatic DHCP and not PPPoE, so that could be the problem. I am guessing that this unit is a new model and needs a firmware upgrade to fix the issue. I spent an hour with my DSL service tech, and about an hour with a Cisco online tech that had me doing things that did not pertain to the actual problem. Be careful. I am going to keep looking. I don't think there is a perfect wireless router out there. By the way, I did notice that my 54G wireless devices were receiving a weaker signal with this router than my old WRT54GL. I was wondering how the wireless would work with out any external antennae. This unit is going back to the local store. My replacement WILL be from Amazon as I will wait for whatever I decide. Have to do some more research.

UPDATE:
I did a hard reset of the E3200, installed it using Cisco Connect instead of manually, and the unit worked for about 12 hours and would not renew the IP address again from my DSL. Everything looked good on their end and the modem showed being connected. I hooked my WRT54GL up again instead of the E3200 and the WRT54GL connected instantly. Cisco Connect was unable to access the E3200 again on my desktop computer using a Cat 5E cable. I was hopeful that it was going to work, even though the wireless did drop connection with a wireless laptop during the day and I had to reselect the device again. Never had that problem with the WRT54GL. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Can't connect to DSL broadband

    I've just got myself a Macbook and I can't seem to set it up for my broadband connection. I'm using Homechoice broadband (UK). I assume it is DSL. I was told by the Homechoice support that my Macbook should be able to auto detect the broadband box and hence connect me to the Internet. But it doesn't seem to work.
    Thanks for any advice.

    A couple of things to check. First, check that the dsl connection is indeed up and running - here in the states we have to go through a procedure when we first set-up dsl modems (this includes using filters on our regular phones). Find out what the modem/router's address is. It is usually something like 192.168.1.1 (or something 192.168.x.x). Type this into your address bar of Safari while your macbook is connected to modem via ethernet and see if your modem's internal intranet page comes up. If it does then it's not a problem with the connection between your macbook and modem but a set-up problem with your dsl. Secondly, when I had dsl in Italy I remember that I had to click on an application before connecting online - don't know if that's true in the u.k.

  • E3200 Can't connect wired?

    I have an E3200 router. I had been experiencing connection problems with my desktop that was wired to the router, and in an attempt to resolve the issue reset the router to its factory defaults. Now, as before the reset, I can connect to my router just fine via Wi-Fi (I have several devices connected this way) but none of the computers that I attempt to connect via ethernet are able to establish a connection. I have tested multiple cables with multiple computers using multiple ports on the router, to no avail. When I view the Status --> Ports page on the router, I can see the ports in use that I am connected to, but that is the only sign of connection that I get.

    Resetting the router will set the router settings back to default. I suggest reconfiguring it back to get internet access. You can download Cisco connect 1.4 (this will update the firmware if needed). You can download it here to set up everything http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/routers/E3200.

  • WRT110 can't connect message & dsl company doesn't see router :(

    WRT  110 Cannot get on internet wirelessly -wireless light is on-- on computer  & DLS company can't see my wireless computer router ,I get message cannot connect and a red x . I'm on with ethrnet now but need to get router going again has worked fine for 6 months.  In bed with disability and have to have wireless. Thanks

    I think you need to check and change the Wireless Settings on your router...
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
    Click on the Wireless tab
    - Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
    - Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbors network...
    - Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
    Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
    For Wireless Security : -
    Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
    Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select TKIP...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
    NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
    Click on Wireless MAC Filter
    If you have Enable the Wireless MAC Filter on your Router, you need to Disable it and click on Save Settings. 
    Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
    Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...
    Once you are done with all the settings on your Router, on your computer click on Start - Control Panel - Network Connections - Right click on your Wireless Network Connections and click on Properties and then click on "Wireless Network" tab and under Preferred Networks you need to remove all the Network Names from the List and click OK... 
    Now you can try to connect to your Wireless Network. 

  • Can't connect to internet..self assigned ip address problem with DSL Modem

    I've run into this before, without resolution, and now again on a friend's iMac. Time to ask around...
    Basically, everything appears to be assigned and configured perfectly, but the network status always shows, "...you have a self assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the internet". Sure can't connect to the net when it says that.
    I've gone thru the procedure advise before that details the sequence of events needed to insure the modem resets and recognizes the Mac and it's incoming DSL (sbcglobal) signal. The order of network priority is set properly by dragging built in ethernet to the top of the list. Modem was powered down, plugged in, and then connected to the Mac, but no solution. Any ideas? thanks

    This continues to be a mystery. I've had my powerbook on several networks, and connection has, most of the time, been an automatic process. Additionally, I've installed new systems for people with the same isp, and all has been well. So easy is the process, it's never been an issue. However, following explicit procedural instructions (including powering the Mac down), has proven unsuccessful on 2 different occasions.
    There is little help with the isp support in India, which is where the call routes too.
    The only thing I have not done is to swap out the cable at one of the locations, but the other location, which has the same issue, works fine on the iMac there. Only when I connect my Powerbook to the modem, does the "...self assigned ip address...not be able to connect to the internet" appear.
    I just keep thinking there has got to be a small detail that is being overlooked.

  • Switched from DSL to Cable, Can't connect to the internet

    After switching to cable modem (Motorola SB5120 SURFboard) from DSL, I can't connect to the internet using my airport express. Everything is green - modem and airport, and the signal on my computer looks like I have full access, but there is a scrolling message... looking for PPPoe host. I have unplugged everything and restarted per the instructions on this site, but get the same result every time. My computer connects just fine using direct connection to the modem. I saw a download for a firm ware update for the express, but don't know how to apply that, either. Any help out there?

  • Switched from DSL to cable modem. My Airport light won't turn green. Keeps blinking orange. No wireless now and can't connect to more than one computer! ?????

    Switched from DSL to cable modem. My Airport light won't turn green. Keeps blinking orange. No wireless now and can't connect to more than one computer! ?????

    Hmmmm.
    If you reset the AirPort Extreme by holding in the reset button for 9-10 seconds and then releasing, the AirPort should be back in default settings which would allow mutliple computers to connect to the LAN ports on the AirPort.
    Power off the cable modem for now and leave it off at least 15 minutes.
    With the AirPort Extreme still powered on, hold in the rest button on the back for 9-10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the AirPort Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking abmer light.
    Then, power off the AirPort Extreme.
    Check to make sure that the Ethernet cable from the modem is connected to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Extreme.
    After the modem has been powered off for at least 15 minutes, power it up and let it run for 5 minutes by itself.
    Now, power up the AirPort Exteme and let it run for 2-3 minutes
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Express
    Click on the AirPort Exteme, then click Continue to follow the guided setup tp configure the AirPort Extreme.  You can use the same wireless network name, password, etc that you used before, or set up a new name and password, etc.

  • Can time machine connect to DSL wirelessly

    Our cable modem is equiped with wireless connectivity. Can I connect time machine without copper using the wireless feature.

    I can think of one upside for this type of installation....
    The Time Capsule hopefully connects using wireless only, so other than the power cord, no wires.
    I can think of some huge downsides for this type of installation.....
    1)  The Ethernet ports on the Time Capsule are not enabled, so it is not possible to do large backups using a wired Ethernet connection to greatly speed the process.
    2)  Wireless backups will take twice as long as normal wireless, since the signal must make a "double hop" during backups.
    Hop one is from the Mac to the wireless modem and then hop two must occur between the wireless modem and the Time Capsule.  In addition to doubling backup times, the chances for an error occurring during backups are also doubled.
    The first backup of your Mac is likely going to take days....not hours...as it should.
    If you still want to attempt this type of installation, you will need to have AirPort Utilty 5.x installed on your Mac since the newer version of AirPort Utility 6.1 in Lion and Mountain will likely not allow you to configure this type of installation, since Apple does not officially support this.
    We'll try to help if you want to try the wireless connection route for the Time Capsule, but can offer no guarantees that this will work to your satisfaction....or at all.

  • Powerbook G4 can't connect via ethernet but connects via airport

    We have a small office network connected to an Efficient Networks DSL router that's managed by our isp. The router has 4 ports and a linksys 8 port switch is connected to one of those ports. Another D-Link wireless router/switch is connected to another port.
    2 i-macs connect without problem via ethernet cable. They are set to DHCP and get 192.xx private addresses. Both run 10.4.5. Another older imac running 9.2.2. also has no problems.
    I recently purchased a powerbook G4 and it will not connect via ethernet to the Efficient networks router. At first it was connected to the linksys, so decided to connect it direct to the Efficient Networks router. With DHCP, it acquires a 169. internet address which is self generated (i.e. no real connection). I tried to give it a static private address (talking to the isp provider). They could see the powerbook but saw all zero's (presumable mac address). By the way the Powerbook works perfectly at home connected via ethernet cable to a D-Link router connected to a cable modem so it's not a physical problem. I even checked the ethernet cable I used in the office with another computer - no problem.
    When I switch to airport in the office, the powerbook connects to the network and the internet. I get some strange warning messages showing the server's and the router's private ip addresses. I click ok, and the powerbook finds an unassigned private ip address. It's the only way it will work, but it causes problems, because I can't connect to one of the network printers. Speed also isn't great.
    Can anyone give me advise how to proceed. I am no expert on this stuff so keep it as simple as possible.
    Tks

    Tim,
    Thanks for your help. Here's what I've done before reading your e-mail. The D-Link DI-524 wireless router is connected to the Effiicent Neworks DSL router as you mentioned. One ethernet port of the EFF.Net. router is connected to the WAN port of the DI-514.
    Because I have a D-Link router at home which works flawlessly with my powerbook, I decided to connect the ethernet cable of the powerbook to the D-Link which has 4 ethernet ports. Lo and behold, the powerbook acquired a private ip address and connected to the LAN and internet!
    When I connected the powerbook direct to the Efficient Networks router, it could not communicate. I believe that there must be some software incompatibility between the powerbook and the Efficient Networks router. By connecting to the D-Link, the D-Link assigned an ip address to the powerbook, and it could connect to the server, lan, etc..
    Only problem is that I have a Brother network printer that cannot connect to the powerbook. My powerbook cannot find it on the network. Because there is a linksys switch connected to the efficient networks router's third ethernet port, maybe as you said, going through the D-Link via DHCP (when the Linksys is also acting as a DHCP server, might cause this type of problem. What do you think?
    As a final note, other imac G5's connected to the linksys switch (which then connects to the Efficient Network's router) have no problem connecting to the lan or internet and have no problem connecting to any of the printers. When I put the powerbook on that switch, I could not connect to the internet - i.e. whether connecting via the lynksys switch or direct with the efficient networks router - same results: no internet connection whether manually or via DHCP.
    So the imac G5 has no problem with the efficient networks router but the powerbook G4 hits a brick wall. The G4 likes the D-Link router. I am concerned (and I will have to check this) that if I turn off the dhcp server feature from the D-Link, that whatever software issue crops up between the powerbook and the Efficient Networks router, will rise up again, because the D-Link will act like a simple switch (just like my linksys switch), and we'll be back to square zero. In any case, no harm in trying. This may be the cause of the Powerbook not seeing that Brother printer (even though it sees another printer and other macs).
    Having spent hours reading about network problems, I think it's safe to say that macs have problems with certain routers. Why a G5 works and a powerbook G4 doesn't is beyond me, but clearly software must play a role.

  • Time Capsule woes -- Connection timeouts and can't connect with one Macbook

    This is my second Time Capsule. Here's the scenario:
    I have a Netopia 3347 DSL modem. That feeds into the Time Capsule in bridge mode. There is a MacBook (metal case), iBook (yes, it's old), two iphones, a color printer and an iPad that can all connect to the Time Capsule just fine. The problem is my MacBook can't connect. The offending computer is a 2.2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo running SL 10.6.6. This computer can connect to the Netopia just fine, so I know its internal Airport works. After several go arounds with Apple tech support, I'm still nowhere.
    Here are the symptoms:
    1. I can see the TC's network SSID in the airport pull down menu. If I select the TC, a popup appears and asks for a password. If I enter the password, I'll get a connection timeout error.
    2. On the rare occasions where it does connect, I can't open a webpage. Network diagnostics has red dots for ISP Internet and Server
    3. On the even rarer occasions where it does connect, and I can access a webpage, it's unbearably slow, and the no-surf problem reappears after a few seconds. The red dots on the Network Diagnostics reappear.
    Apple tech support was not helpful. I've power cycled everything a million times (and that doesn't explain why other computers can connect.) I know it's not my computer, because it can connect to the Netopia just fine.
    I am STUMPED.

    Magnificent! Problem solved...   Isn't there a "this solved my problem" button somewhere??  Thanks and thanks again!

  • Can only connect to Internet from one computer at a time on network

    I have a 2 computer network in my office networked with an Asante 10/100 hub. The computers are a iMac 24 (Intel) and an old G4 (PCI). The network has worked fine until just recently. Now, I can only connect to the Internet with one computer at a time...(DSL connection). I checked cables, ports, etc, and I'm wondering if this is a 10.4.9 issue. Coincidentally, I noticed that I am not able to access the Internet via Win XP using Parallels which also worked fine up until recently. I checked with the ISP (AT&T) who confirmed that all is OK on their end. Anyone have similar problem? Could OS X 10.4.9 be the culprit? Any help on this will be much appreciated. Thanks.
    iMac 24   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   2G RAM; NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT 256

    I'd consider that a 3 computer network, Parallels being a virtual machine would alias the ethernet interface and need its own IP address. That may or may not have anything to do with your problem. Actually, the way you've described things, it sounds like a lot has to do with your contract with ATT. Is there a routing device at your end?
    The only way 10.4.9 could be the culprit would be if it were the routing device.

  • Cisco e3200 can't have more than 4 wired devices on switch

    I have recently set up the internet at my house. It was complicated because we can't get the cables to the house, so we had to use a wireless p2p bridge to get the internet to us. So we have the ISP cable, and modem in one house, and the LAN and all users in another.
    The ISP connection is fiber optics, into a box which is a modem and a router. The ISP modem/router connects to the internet, and than through eth port1 sends 100mbs connection to a wireless PTP bridge set up using mikrotik SXT Lite5.
    On the other end of the wireless bridge is a Cisco E3200 router, running the latest official firmware. The cisco router connects to the internet using Automatic configuration - DHCP. So the ISP modem/router assigns the cisco an IP. Which is 192.168.1.3.
    [i]Up to here it all works. The internet works flawlessly, and I've tested it by plugging the bridge ethernet cable directly into a computer, and the computer got it's IP 192.168.1.x assigned instantly, and without an issue. So the ISP modem/router, and PTP bridge work perfectly.[/i]
    The cisco than has its own DHCP for the LAN, which is on 192.168.2.1.
    From the cisco e3200 goes a single 1GB cat5e eth cable to the TP-link [url=http://www.tp-link.us/products/details/?categoryid=224&model=TL-SG1016#spec]16-Port Gigabit Switch TL-SG1016[/url] unmanaged switch.
    From the switch go 6 connections currently:
    Samsung TV, ETA Central heating, PC1, PC2, PC3, Wireless AP (onto which connect numerous smartphones, laptops, and tablets, mac and android)
    When it works, it works flawlessy. All the PC's are on 1gbps connections, can ping eachother, can transfer files, DLNA works the internet is smooth etc. etc., so in short it works.
    But there are huge problems! The router behaviour is very erratic. Sometimes everything works, sometimes it doesn't. The problems mostly occur on the PC's. The problem is basically that the PC gets an IP assigned by the cisco router DHCP (in the 192.168.2.100/50 range), and can see other PC's and devices on the network, and can ping other devices, and can transfer files from other devices, HOWEVER CAN NOT ping the router. So it gets IP from dhcp, but can not ping. There's no internet connectivity, and the PC can't connect to the cisco web setup (192.168.2.1)
    So I've started troubleshooting. And there is only one common point. Whenever there are only 4 ETHERNET devices connected to the Cisco router it works fine.
    So for example: I can connect 1 cable from the cisco to the tplink switch, and in the switch I can connect 3 PC's and 1 wireless AP, and it will work. Onto that AP I can connect a lot of devices and it will work.
    HOWEVER, as soon as I connect additional devices to the switch/or router, for example the central heating unit, the PC's loose connectivity. However this also is erratic. The PC's loose connectivity BUT ONLY AFTER RESTART. The wireless AP still works, but only sometimes.
    So the whole thing is weird and very very very hard to troubleshoot.
    I have tried so many things, that I might have missed something, so if you have ANY ideas, everything's appreciated.

  • Can't Connect To The Internet Or Router

    I have had my router set up for about three years.  It's always worked perfectly fine until the other day. I think that the router just died, but I'm not sure and I want to try and fix this one before I just go out and buy a new one.
    Basic Background Information:
    Model No:WRT54GC
    -The router is and always has been hooked up to a surge protector and there haven't been any other recent surges in my home.
    -When the wireless router is connected to the computer (using a functioning Ethernet cable ) I cannot connect to the internet or the router.  (I can't even put the IP into a browser and bring it up.  I also tried the factory setting IP, just incase it actually did reset, and that doesn't work either.)
    -When the router is plugged in I can't see it from any other wireless computer.  (I also checked for any new signals and did not see any after I reset the router.)
    -LEDs look like:
          *Power = solid green
          *Internet = solid green 
          *wireless = hard to tell - doesn't look like it's on at all
          *all other Ethernet pluggins = solid green
    What I've Tried So Far:
    -I couldn't connect to the internet so I plugged the modem directly into my computer.  -->  The internet works.
    -I tried unplugging the router, waiting, and then plugging it back in.  -->  I couldn't connect to the internet or the router.
    -I tried the reset button.  -->  I couldn't connect to the internet or the router.
    -I tried leaving the router unplugged all night and then plugging it in and starting the process all over again.  -->  I couldn't connect to the internet or the router.
    -I also tried downloading new firmware, but since I can't connect to the router through any of my browsers I am unsure how else to update the firmware. 
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Try upgrading your Router's firmware and then you can reconfigure your Router from the scratch...
    As you are not able to go online through router...you have to download the formware by connecting computer to the modem..
    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
    Now reconnect the Modem to Router on Internet Port and from Computer to Router on Ethernet Port 1and now Press and hold the reset button for 60 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...
    Now you can upgrade the firmware using TFTP utility...Download tftp utility.
    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
    Double click the TFTP.exe file and click run.

  • Can't connect wireless blu ray player

    I've been using verizon DSL for about 5 years now.  I have a Versalink 327W that was provided by Verizon.  I've been pretty happy with the service, experiencing only a few glitches that were easily fixed.  But I haven't been pushing it hard.  I have a couple of desktops both wired to the Versalink by ethernet.  The versalink provides internet access to the two computers, and file and printer sharing as well.
    Now I have a problem.  I recently bought a Sony Blu Ray player  (model BDP-BX57) with built in wireless.  No matter what I do, wireless connection fails.  I've ruled out SSID and WEP key problems.  The Blu Ray sees the Versalink with its SSID, and can't connect even if I set the Versalink to open.  For what it's worth, if I plug the blu ray into the versalink with ethernet, that works, and I can access the internet.
    That solution won't work for me in use.  I need wireless.
    Reading various entries in this forum and other places, I see that some people need to update the firmware in their Versalink.  Do I need to do this?  Is it going to help?  Am I just going to have to upgrade my router/modem or my DSL service later on?
    Also, looking at the steps needed to update the firmware, it looks error prone to me.  What's my fall back if things go wrong due to either my error or Verizon's?  I don't want to be without service for a long time while Verizon gets me a new router/modem.
    Thanks in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    This problem has been solved.
    The solution turned out to be to upgrade the firmware inside the "Residential Gateway"  (aka router/modem)  provided by Verizon.  The gateway is a Westell 327W  of the A90 vintage.  The firmware it contained didn't work for wireless connections.
    After finding a Verizon site that provides firmware for downloading, and satisfying myself that this site was on the up and up, I finally ventured to download and install the new firmware.  if you are interested in downloads from Verizon, start at download.verizon.net and navigate your way to the download you are loking for.  There may be a link from My Verizon to this download area, but I sure couldn't find it. 
    The firmware is now at rev 4.04.03.00.  And the gateway now supports wireless connections.
    Thanks for all your responses, and a special thanks to some contributors to old discussions in dslreports where the solution was outlined.
    The next problem to deal with is going to be slow speed.  I'll start a new topic. 

  • D-Link wireless + Cable Internet:: can't connect via AirPort

    Just got my service changed from DSL to Cable and can't connect via wireless (but can with an Ethernet cable). Have tried the Wi Router settings to no avail. Any ideas? I think I might not be doing some setting in the comp correctly. Please help. Router is D-Link DIR-625.

    Did you open Airport and see if you see the wireless router? If you can see it, you can select it and then make sure it is set up properly in networks in the system prefs.
