E4200 Wireless Router Rebooting

I experienced my router rebooting for 2 days in a row and my USB drive was installed. I flashed the firmware from 1.0.0.5 to the latest 1.0.0.6. Now all my data was lost and there were only a few original folders that came with the drive. I don't suspect it was hacked because the original folders were there but the ones I created were all gone. When I did a Hard Disk recovery, I noticed a lot of data was in an unkown format. Does anyone one know if the E42000 formats the drive using FAT table? I suspect my drive got corrupted thus losing all data. Now I keep my USB drive disconnected for fear that my router will be hacked. In terms of the rebooting, I was able to resolve the issue by upgrading the firmware to 1.0.0.6 (latest release for this router). Has anyone experience sudden reboots ?

At some point you may want to get into additonal backup. If your data is critical and you need to be safe and be assured, getting into NAS would be recommended. Even thought the USB drives will be good in short term, haveing a NAS would help in long term. You never know if something might happend to the USB drive. Don't keep you data all in one place. Also burn to DVD or CD as well.
Good Luck.

Why doesn't my E4200 wireless router show all attached devices when viewing the DHCP Client table?

I recently installed some wireless IP cameras and when attempting to re-install a camera I went into the DHCP Client table to verify which IP a camera was using to set it up, but I could not...and still cannot see any of my cameras in the table even though I can access three of them directly through the IE web browser. I initially power cycled both the E4200 router and Motorola cable modem, and then later just the wireless router...but I still do not see the devices connected. I currently have 2.0.37 firmware even though I was told by Cisco support that there was a later version available, just before being informed that I do not have support available and could purchase it. I attempted to locate a newer version, but the online upgrade portion of the Cisco Connect software searched the net and then states that I have the latest version available. I also opened a Firefox browser to see if maybe my browser was causing issues, but the same limited table appears without all entries available. I even opened the Cisco Connect software on another laptop with the same limited results.
Other than a factory reset, any suggestions to get me E4200 dual band wireless router to show all attached devices through the DHCP Client table as it previously did approximately two weeks ago? Thanks!

It is strongly recommended that you upgrade the firmware to a smart wifi, which may resolve lot of bugs. You can also download the firmware here:

External Harddrive to e4200 wireless router

I would like to connect my lacie 1tb external hard drive to the router and be able to access the hard drive from macbook wirelessly without the router being connected to anything else but the external hard drive, is this possible?

Just plug in the hard drive to the router via usb. Make sure your hard drive has power too. Then go to the router's config page and click create a share under the storage tab. The user manual has a more detailed description of this process.

HT4199 I have a Netgear R6300 wireless router and a Yamaha RX-3020 A/V receiver. An app is available to run on an Ipad. I have to reboot every morning to get it all working. Can I just plug cat6 between them, when I do nothing works, please help

Should I use a network switch and plug my Yamaha A/V receiver and Yamaha DVD into it, then into the wireless router? Then the net into the routers net port???

WRT120N - wireless capability routinely fails and requires router reboot

I purchased the WRT120N wireless router about a month ago and have found that the wireless capability of this unit routinely fails. I have numerous wireless devices in our home but it's the Apple iTouches that use it most of the time. Every day or two the wireless function just stops working and I have to rebooot the unit via the admin web page. Then everything continues to work for a while until we notice that it has failed again. I upgraded the router firmware to v1.0.04 and followed the instructions carefully but this made no difference.
Searching the web revealed that this was a wide-spread and well documented problem. Many other forum posts warn consumers to avoid buying this cheap and unreliable product.
I am about to give up return the unit to the store I bought it from but thought I'd give one last chance to this forum to see if there was any fix or alternative.
Please advise. Thanks.

hi, to this topic I'd like to post my problem. so i have wrt120n wireless router, and I had a problem with connecting two computers ( one PC on cable, other Notebook with wireless). When both computers is online, router start to reboot. Event wiever posted :
Your computer was not able to renew its address from the network (from the DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address 0000E87303EE. Your computer will continue to try and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server. especially when trying to send a file between computers through skype.
so that first problem, now I can't connect to internet at all. I've found almost the same problem:.
The computer is able to connect to the router perfectly fine, but I can't get on to the internet because I'm unable to aquire an IP address from the router. Instead of giving me my 198.168.1.x IP, I'm getting a 169.254.x.x.
But the thing is that i can't connect to router adress 192.168.1.1, I tried to reset router but still nothing. any ideas? how connect to the router?

Router reboots upon wireless connection

I have the Linksys WRT54GS wireless router with firmware version 4.71.1. Whenever I try to connect to my wireless network, or if I even try to find it with the "View Wireless Networks" window, my router resets, thus dropping connections with my other computers (wired and wireless) and the internet. Once re-connected to the other computers and the internet, I can usually connect my wireless computer. Also, all my wireless computers have no trouble connecting automatically to my network... it's just when I want to (or need to) connect manually that my router reboots. I have tried several things (too many to list) to try and stop it, however, I was just curious as to why this would happen (FYI: my router is very stable other than that, and does not drop connections at any other time). If anyone has any insight or instructions on what I could do, please give me a hand; this issue is quite annoying at times.

try reflashing/upgrading firmware on the router, after reflashing firmware hard reset the router back to factory default settings and reconfigure it according to ISP settings... logon to router's setup page, edit the wireless security e.g. wireless channel to 11, go to advanced wireless settings and reduce beacon intrval to 50, fragmentation and RTS threshold to 2304, transmission rate to 54mbps check whether it works for you or not.

My Photosmart D100a wireless printer keeps changing IP Address when router reboots.

My Photosmart D100a wireless printer keeps changing IP Address when router reboots.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
- Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

Linksys E4200 - has to reboot to connect again with the internet

I bought the E4200 a month ago (replaced D-link DIR-655) and since then I have to reboot it twice.
I have a NAS connected to the router (and router to cable modem) and sometimes I have to FTP files from abroad. If I use the FTP too much time the E4200 just loose connectivity with the internet. Once home I have to reboot it in order to connect again with the internet. It never happen me before with the D-Link.
Does anybody has a similar problem?
Thanks!

Actually mine is working great now, almost as if it had a break-in period.
Mine has not flashed once in the past day (or more) and the last time I rebooted it was Wednesdsay evening (only to see if I could stop the flashing which was still happening
at that time).
I was also online on an interactive (gaming / gambling) site that is very quick to report what it considers "disconnects" if it sees any weakness in the connection to its servers and when using the E4200 it did NOT disconnect a single time all day yesterday.
(My Belkin N1 Vision wireless router connection via my Rosewill RNX-N1 USB adapter had been "disconnecting" multiple several days in a row although I was able to surf the web without issues while it reported me as disconnected).
Possible reasons everything is fine:
1) I placed the router's four ridiculously tiny feet on four thick wooden drink coasters
to give it more breathing room.
The flashing stopped a day or two later... (Keep in mind the router is less than a week old, so the reason it stopped flashing could be unrelated).
My wireless signal strength does seem to be sensitive to a 5.8 GHz cordless phone strangely even though it is a 2.4 GHz wireless adapter.
Just turning the phone (which has an INternal anntenna and is about 3 1/2 feet away from my wireless adapter at the moment) 15 or 20 degrees immediately changed the wireless signal quality from 4 bars to 3 bars and vice versa!!!
2) As far as my needing to reboot it that one time (during the first full day I owned the E4200):
I had been switching between two different model Rosewill wireless adapters a few times that afternoon (same chipset, same driver I believe and even show up as
same device in 32 bit Windows 7 Device Manager) without restarting the router after each switch
Since that one reboot, everything has been fine and my connection has been solid (pingtest.net tests over wireless produce an 'A' and speed has been for the most part relatively stable at 130 Mbps).
I hope thay helps others here (especially Part 1 above).
So overall I am extremely happy now.
I now just need to see what the implications are by the current lack of official IPv6 support in the E4200 (will post separately about that).
I noticed that my "IPv6 connectivity" on the wireless connection showed "no internet".
I just ran some IPv6 tests online (on two separate sites) and they passed and, lo and behold, now it shows "internet access" (again) for IPv6 (and not just IPv4 as it did before)!

Home Wireless Router Cascading

I had a WRT610N wireless router that was working fine and just replaced it with a e4200. Everything on the e4200 is also working fine, as far as I can tell. I want to redeploy the WRT610N in the far reaches of my home as a wireless hub to add range to my network. I supposed that I could connect a LAN cable to the 610N get a DHCP address from the e4200 and then pass wireless traffic that connects to the 610N to the e4200. However it does not seem to work. I cannot get an IP address from the e4200.
Is using a 610N router as a wireless hub something that should be possible?
Thanks for your help.

Problems setting up my TC. Have just bought new iMac(OS 10.6.8) and TC. I tried to set it up. iMac cannot find it. I have tried direct connection with an ethernet cable to Mac or direct to my wireless router but nothing. Just a flashing orange light. Help for a simpleton please. Have tried reseting TC, but to no avail.

Just updated from 10.6.7 ---> 10.6.8 and had the same issue. Despite having done a clean install from 10.6 and got everything back off my TC, now Time Machine can't find it!
Green light is on, ethernet cable conected, network CP says its conected but nothing. Airport Utility can't find it. Hit reset button, Orange flashing light but still no show in Airport Utility.
But I know its there, as rebooting from 10.6 SL disk shows the backups are still ok?
Hmm, ideas anyone?

I am unable to stream Netflix to my Iphone or Apple TV, from my wireless router . . . even though I am able to watch Netflix on my WII (also wireless) and desktop computer (not wireless).

I am unable to stream Netflix to my Iphone or Apple TV, from my wireless router . . . even though I am able to watch Netflix on my WII (also wireless) and desktop computer (not wireless).
On the Iphone and Apple TV I can connect to Netflix . . . it recognizes me and my account settings . . . and I can veiw all my recent programs and show titles, descriptions, etc.. But when I select one to watch I get a message saying:
"ERROR A PROBLEM OCCURED WHILE PLAYING THIS ITEM. TRY AGAIN LATER, OR SELECT A DIFFERENT ITEM. GO TO WWW.NETFLIX.COM/SUPPORT FOR MORE INFORMATION. (139)
Netflix support say there is nothing wrong on their end . . . that it is an Apple issue. They see the request for the show, the devices are registered . . . but it shows 0 bandwidth to the device.
My Apple TV did this when I first hooked it up a couple of weeks ago. Then after a few days started working with Netflix, for no apparent change . . . now doesn't again for the past couple of days (I think that it auto restarted the other night after a virus scan).
Very frustrating, and driving me nuts! Has anyone else had and been able to resolve this problem?

Troubleshooting
Apple TV2 update one day and netflix is browsing but not launching the actual content (error 139)
Ipad2 (another ios device) forces me to update netflix if I want to use it and I get the same error 139 on it.
**** now I have two not ways not working where prior to some update it was fine.
Nintendo Wii is still working ( mind you running an ancient version of netflix ) Dusted the Wii off and gave it to the kids use. Now they are happy again...
PC is also still working ( using some other flash client ) but that's just of interest, we're not going to be watching tv with that.
My wife's iphone 4s is still working. Odd.. still ios but for somereason I am not forced to update the version. So basically she could mirror stream up to the apple tv with it. Nice feature of Ios5. Later found out it is using 1.4 version of netflix. The most useful thing out of that is that all 3 of the devices are Ios and it was actually the iphone with the 1.4 version of netflix that still worked!
I heard from a friend who was on a different ISP he was still working so I took my appletv2 and ipad2 over to my brothers house who is on that same ISP as my friend and both started working. So the ISP is involved too!
Brought the appletv2 and ipad2 back to my house hoping it would maybe still work. No dice Broken again.
Searched the appstore for a decent packet analyzer and there isn't really anything. I was able to sniff the traffic with my PC and also on my juniper ssg5 confirmed that. Turns out port 80 traffic is actually failing and authorization is not happening. The other clients do not do this...
Asked a buddy from work who used to work at the ISP if he could make a call to some one who might actually know what is going on. He came back pretty quick and said yea they are trying really hard to get the beta patch in from Bluecoat asap.
So knowing that it was actually Netflix that changed when it hit 2.0 and in my case the ISP made the adjustment it's pretty safe to say this issue is going to be ongoing unless netflix changes again the way they authorize for licenses.
So that's the summary of what went right down the troubleshooting path but I'll tell what what didn't
2 calls to Netflix (useless... waste of time... they are too quick to blame anyone but themselves)
1 call to apple support (support call was going to cost more than it cost for me to change ISPs)
2 calls to ISP (through the normal means - regular support number)
So why is this intermittantly working sometimes? If you are lucky enough to authorize to an IP address that is not cached they voila you are going to get an authorization / a license to watch the show. Some people report after defribulating their appletv (reseting, rebooting, dns changes, you name it) they get it working. Over the past month we all seem to have got it working for some period of time only to lose it a day to two later.
It's now been several days since the beta patch to the bluecoat and 4 of us who have been communicating on the issue appear to be online all at the same time for those several days and that is a good sign that we might be out of the woods on the issue.
Hope this turns into something helpful for someone else out there.

IPod Touch (and iPhone) can't find Belkin N Wireless Router

I spent over an hour looking for an answer to this problem today and accidently found a solution - so am posting the answer.
Have a 2 year old Belkin N Wireless Router (model F5D8236-4v1) with SSID broadcasting on and WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK) security selected.
All the Windows laptops in the house could see the wireless SSID and could successfully log in after entering the WPA/WPA2 password.
Both iPod Touch and iPhone 3GS could NOT see the SSID. Also entering the wireless router IP address directly instead of the SSID did NOT work.
After an hour of looking for solutions on-line, including:
- Tried no security
- Tried WEP 64 and 128 bit security
then stumbled across a thread in a forum where someone referred to changing a "-" (dash) in an SSID name to a character. So tried this.
The old SSID name includes spaces - "name name1 name2". I deleted the spaces, and the problem was solved.
This Belkin router comes with a default name of BelkinN_WirelessXXXXXX, but does not say in the online help to NOT use spaces in the SSID name. And again, the Windows laptops could see the wireless Router while it had the SSID name INCLUDING the spaces in the name.
Hope this saves at least one person going through the same wasted hour.

Click on the blue arrow to the right of the network name, if IP address starts with "169." ,restart your router. It should connect properly after your router reboots in a minute or two.

Ipod touch 1st generation can't connect to my linksys wireless router wr110. THe signal is strong and there is a check mark beside my network name, but when I try to open safari it says "unable to find server".

My friends MacBook connected easily to my wireless, but why not the ipod touch? When prompted for "Password" I enter the security key info and nothing, nadda....zip. The MacBook asks for the "Security Key" info not "Password", like the touch. What's the difference?

P2055dn no longer connects via wireless router

I recently replaced my wireless router, an ancient Airport Extreme, with a Linksys WRT120N, not exactly state of the art but still an improvement. At first I couldn't connect to my p2055dn, which I plugged into the router. It no longer showed up as a Bonjour printer when I tried to add it. Then I changed the network mode setting on the router from Wireless-N to Mixed, which got the printer to show up as a Bonjour printer. I then added it and all was well. Now, however, the printer is again not showing up at all. I can still print directly with an ethernet cable to the printer but not wirelessly. The only thing that has changed is that I had to reinstall OS X 10.10.3, but I don't see why that should have changed anything, particularly since the printer is no longer showing up on our other computers. My inclination is that the problem has to do with the router settings but maybe there's something I can configure on the printer to get it to play nice with the router? Any suggestions very welcome.

OK..
I don't know if this is going to work for all 3 of you or not. Josephlee this might work for you, since you have AT&T DSL. Then again, it might or might not work for any of you. I am currently a BellSouth DSL customer. I had to set my modem to "bridge mode" before being able to use my Linksys WRT54G to access the internet. I can't explain how to set your DSL modem to "bridge mode." Your internet service provider will have to do that. If any of you can get your modem set to "bridge mode" I can give you some advice...
If you can get your DSL modem (Verizon, AT&T, Bellsouth, etc.) set to "bridge mode" this should help you out. By setting your modem to bridge mode, this allows your Linksys router to control all internet access. Basically it opens up your DSL modem to allow any and all internet access straight through it, just like opening a water line. If your modem is set to bridge mode, let's continue...
Open Internet Explorer or whatever web browser you use. Go to http://192.168.1.1 to access your Linksys router's dialog. Hopefully you know the user name and password. The default (factory settings) are:
username: <<< leave blank
password: admin
If you make it this far..
You will be at the Setup/Basic Setup tab
Internet Connection type you want is PPPoE
User Name: is the current login for your DSL account
Password: is the current password for your DSL account
(Remember that your router [not DSL modem] is controlling your access)
Select: Keep Alive and leave default (Not Connect on Demand)
Click on Save (and follow on screen instructions)
Next navigate to the Status tab
Once there, you should see Login Status. It should be Disconnected.
Click the Connect button.
Click Save if prompted. (and follow on screen instructions)
Now.. close ALL browser windows.
Re-open your web browser and check for internet connectivity. Some computers may require a reboot. My Win XP Pro doesn't.
I pray that helps you guys out!

Have you tried rebooting the router? Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.
Turn Wifi off and on on the iPad? Reset the network settings? Forget the Network?
