EA3500 Cisco Connect Setup problem?

So i recently resetted my Linksys EA3500 and i lost the CD so i download the Cisco Connect for the EA3500.I connected my EA3500 using the ethernet cable to my laptop,run the setup,and then on 25% it said that no wireless routers were found.I already connected it using an ethernet cable i dont understand why it is still not found.What should i do?

Hi geraldicg , make sure that the wireless switch on your computer is turned on. I recommend that you try another laptop (if available). If no luck, configure the router manually by accessing 192.168.1.1 or myrouter.local. Check this out:

Cisco Connect setup stuck at 90% Linksys E900

Hi,
Today evening i had to restart my routers settings and I also formatted (don't know if it's a good word in english, i mean recovering operating system) my disk and now i can't install Cisco Connection Again on my laptop (win8). The setup process is always stuck at 90% (after few or more minutes there's message that configurating failed...), what's wierd is that i can explore the internet and use settings of router in web browser ( http://192.168.1.1 ) when setup is stuck. After getting "FAIL message" i cant use internet anymore.
I beg for your help! ;<
Thanks in advance.

Do you want to use the Cisco Connect software? If not, then you can always go for manual troubleshooting. Linksys designe cisco connect as a tool to help manage the router. If you need to use it, I suggest that you download the software from the linksys website and start all over again. Before you run the software, reset the router first for 10 seconds, reboot the router and once it's ready run cisco connect.
Just make sure that you do not have any firewalls enabled or antivirus software that may interfere with the setup process. Again if you don't need the software jsut go with manual troubleshooting. You always have different options.

Mountain Lion 10.8.4-Cisco Connect-shutdowns kernel panic error-EA6500

I have:
- Mac Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.4
- EA6500 with the latests updates (firmware..) all downloaded from Linksys web
When I install Cisco Connect to setup a USB printer, the software has some kind of conflict with OS X 10.8.4 and the system has unexpected & repentine shutdowns with a restart shutdown panic error report.
If I unistall Cisco Connect the problem doesn´t happen again
After checking all available guides and software, there is no way to solve the issue. I also chat with Linksys support and they have no idea how solve it.
It is for sure a problem of Cisco Connect software compatibility with OS X 10.8.4.
Please, some solution from Linksys or a workaround with Mac terminal commands?
DON´T INSTALL CISCO CONNECT SOFTWARE TILL ISSUE SOLVED!!

Cisco Connect would not work with a router using a Linksys Smart Wifi firmware. Also, VUSB is not going to work with MAC OS 10.8 yet. Hopefully Linksys would release an update that would support MAC 10.8 on VUSB.

Downloaded Cisco Connect for E1200 v2 disk image damaged. Now what? recent Mountain Lion upgrade

I had originally set up my E1200 Jan 2012 & had Cisco Connect setup. I didn't use it much but back in Oct after being away for 10 days I didn't have internet connection. Had to re-set both cable modem--then I at least had connection via ethernet, but still no wifi connection. Had to turn off for awhile to get it Router to properly reset & work. & then I think I had to do another reset maybe in Dec, can't remember exactly.
As I mention in another post, I have been having frequent intermittent not connected to internet messages for a long time. Usually if I just turn wifi off & then turn it back on it finds my network (although frequently I notice that it was on my guest network rather than main). I still don't know if it is cable modem, router or my ISP, altho they came out & checked & said signals ok, but modem could be going (Its old but about to move so don't want to buy new modem now).
I updated to Mountain Lion about 2-3 weeks ago.
After a Panic last night I was advised to make sure everything updated including router firmware.
When I opened Cisco Connect it said I had an unsupported Operating System. Trying to figure this all out, I finally found links to download Cisco Connect that are supposed to be compatible w Mountain Lion (at least the original link said that, but not where I went w the links so hoping it is right link for that). Anyway I downloaded it & was reading a bit & then clicket on the setup icon.
That said it was damaged & to eject it. I downloaded it via wifi just like I download other software. Maybe it is hyper sensitive so I need to take it over to plug directly into my cable modem? But then that will mess up the router, although I guess it will need to be reset any way.
So I think i need to get Cisco Connect updated so it works w Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion told me about 1 software that wasn't compatible but didn't pick up on Cisco Connect.
So don't know if I need to do a hard wired download, unlike the way I download other things, or what to get an undamaged copy. I then hope that it will see the old version, even though it isn't didn't work & hopefully pick up all my settings & all.
& then I guess I still need to check for a firmware update. & I understand that a firmware update should be done w a good connection (although the user manual just says good signal, web says hard wired ethernet. & because of the intermittent issues I plan to to it manually by 1st downloading & then installing from the download so there won't be a risk of interruption during install--if its even needed.
I'm running on a mid April 2010 13" MacBookPro
Any suggestions? This all is rather confusing.

Well I was trying to update Cisco Connect so it would work w Mountain Lion but after 3 tries at the download I kept getting this same error message that it is downloaded. I even shut down & restarted before the last time w same result.
I should not have to spend hours of my time to get this to work. That is ridiculous.
Right before starting this process I checked for Apple updates & found a firmware update for my MacBookPro. I quickly downloaded & installed it, no problem. It took a very few minutes & then I backed it up & started working on this many hours ago.
I am an end user--not an IT professional. I just want things to work. I should not be expected to have to spend hours trying to figure out how to get stuff to work & still it doesn't. So I guess Linksys doesn't care that much about making things easy for Mac users.
I recently had the cable co come out & check the levels & all. they all checked out ok & they did change the fittings in several places on the coax connecters for good measure.
My cable modem is set up just across my living room from me & it is not a large living room. The router is right next to it, but it is not at a desk or place that is very comfortable to set up my Mac.
I sure hope that those security settings have been set up by default when I orginally set this up about a year ago. & I don't reall know how to change those settings without Cisco Connect, which I have been unable to get reinstalled since i keep getting those warnings about it being damaged.
I just want my computer devices to work. I don't want to have to spend hours troubleshooting them w poorly written instructions that don't really tell how to update firmware & Cisco Connect for tnose of us who have already had it set up before upgrading to Mountain Lion.
Having a link to download Cisco Connect that supposedly works w Mountain Lion but doesn't since it keeps giving a warning is not very helpful. There was nothing I saw in all my searches to tell what the results of even being able to upgrade Cisco Connect. Would it be able to figure existing settings? Didn't see anything that explained how that would work.
I don't appreciate my time being stolen by making it so hard to just get this updated! I"m giving up on this. I may try taking it back to Best Buy to see if they can tell if the router itself was also defective but I think I will likely go get an airport Express so I have a reliable router that is easy to use!

Advanced Configuration vs Cisco Connect

I just bought and configured a new Linksys E3000 and found out you cannot change or modify the Guest Wireless settings outside of Cisco Connect (i.e. how many guest users allowed, guest password, guest SSID, etc.). Being a network engineer I quickly skipped the Cisco Connect setup and went straight to Advanced Configuration for more control and customization of the router features and functions. Also once you use Advanced Configuration you cannot go back to the dumbed down Cisco Connect to access the guest settings. What gives? I would think you could do everything in Advanced Configuration (and them some) that you could configure in Cisco Connect...

the cisco connect was made for you to sert up the router quickly . like it said easy set up . if you use the set up page of your router and do the set up there . yes you may do so . but for the internet connection only .but for the wireless settings you can use the cisco connect for the wireless set up .
the reason why it has cisco connect and has the feature for guest access coz so that your guest will have a different profile and they will not be able to mess up your internal connection . guest access is an unsecured network henc when you launch a browser that will ask for a password . which means that it is still secured

E1550 - Error code 82BD0119, Cisco Connect gives connection timeout error during setup

During setup, after 90% completion I get "adapter connection timeout period expired". I'm unable to configure my router.
I downloaded the lates Cisco Connect software and tried that as well but I get the same problem.
Operating System : Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 (32 bit).
Any help will be apreciated. Thanks.

I believe you have a static IP address assigned in the computer. Here are the steps to check for the wireless:
~~ Go to Wireless network connection properties.
~~ Click On Internet protocol TCP/IP and go to properties.
~~ Select 'Obtain IP address automatically' and 'Obtain DNS server automatically'.
~~ Click OK and then close.
Check for the Local Area Connection as well in the same procedure.
Then uninstall the existing Cisco connect software, reset the router.
Steps to reset the router:
Push the reset button on router for 30 seconds, turn off the router wait for 30 seconds and then power it on. After this process reconfigure the router. Power light should blink when you perform the reset process.
After performing the following steps install the Cisco connect again and check the status.

I need to upgrade my 10.5.1 os on my G4/1.25 (I'm having some audio-midi setup problems), but it's a machine that is not connected to the internet. Do I have any options? Thanks!

Friends,
I'm having some audio-midi setup problems on my G4/1.25/10.5.1 machine. I'm thinking that a routine OS upgrade might help. However, this machine is not connected to the internet. Are there any alternate methods for upgrading system software? Thanks in advance!

OK, what you should do is download the updates on another machine and burn them to a disc. Start at this link http://support.apple.com/downloads/#leopard for downloads and find, among other things, the 10.5.8 combo updater that works on PPC machines, plus security, QuickTime and other updates. Going from 10.5.1 to 10.5.8, there will probably be a bunch of things that you should install. Being off the internet with the machine, you can't have Software Update sort it out, so something might get missed, unfortunately.
My suggestion is this: if it looks like you might need a download, get it onto that disc.

Cisco connect problems on max

Every time i down load it it say my mac does not have up to date solfware but it does. Is there any way to reset E1000 with out it. I used a friends computer on it and it ask me to put in the 8 number code on the bottom and i did now that com puter is the only one that will work wireless. Please help.

Hi RandolphA, are you trying to reinstall the router using a MAC computer or are you trying to just connect it wirelessly to the network?
If so, the Cisco Connect software does not really run on Mac so what you can do is setup the device manually. You can do that by accessing the setup page through 192.168.1.1. Leave the Username field blank and type "admin"as the password. Go to the wireless tab and setup the wireless settings.
I found this link that may help you, http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=2bf7dc19b4a94d03b0fd91f9ce426e8a_Manually_Setting_...

E3000 FTP access question/using Cisco connect after router setup

I have two questions about my E3000 router.
1. If I have already set up my router using the default web address, if I use the Cisco connect software, do I gain any benefit or am I opening up a can of worms? I would like to change my server name and default admin user name stuff, but I don't want to screw with any settings I have. I will be updating my firmware in a day or so, so should I use the software then, or just go about it the way I have already?
2. I have enables FTP access for my USB drive, but I am unsure how to access it from a remote computer. I know using ftp://xxx.xxx.x.x gets me to my Index while connected to my network, but how do I access this off my network? I want to give our parents and family access to pictures, but I''m not sure of the exact address to use. I have looked in the set-up manual, and searched Google and this site, and have found nothing.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Dan

If you have configured your Router using the Cisco Connect software, then you it secure your wireless network with an password. If you have any firewall and antivurs software on your router then it will protect your computers against worms.
To use the FTP feature of your router you need to enable ftp login on your router, which you will find under the storage tab of your router.

E1200 V2 upgraded to OS 10.8.2, Cisco Connect unsupported OS, also update firmware?

I purchased myu E1200 Jan 2012. Have been intermittent loss of connection & not sure whether it is old cable modem or router or? ISP came out & checked & changed some cable fittings said looked ok, but could be my old modem. (I'm getting ready to move out of area so don't want to buy a new modem now). But also a lot of my neighbors w Cox report intermittent loss of connection.
I will get messages saying I'm not connected to internet. Usually if i go up & turn off wireless & then turn it back on, it will search & find my router. Frequently though I notice that when I check it has switched to my guest rather than primary for some reason.
I was having some of this before I even went to wifi a yr ago.
Just upgraded to Mountain Lion a couple weeks ago or so. Last night computer had a panic. I received advice to make sure all software as well as router firmware up to date. Found & updated MacBookPro Firmware update. Backed up.
Opened CiscoConnect & got message unsupported Operating System.
Reading about upgrading firmware, saw warnings about doing it hard wired or it could permanently damage router. Because of the intermittent connectivity problems & the warning, I think I would be safest to do this manually by downloading it 1st & then updating the firmware from the download.
I see that instructions say to determine Firmware version. & it also says it will ask for router IP address. I'm guessing all that was in Cisco Connect. I know it has my passwords, but now I can't get to it. It also says I can use the web set up page to get the current firmware version. For updates (but it says for pc) it shows 8/2011 & 8/2012. Since mine was purchased in 1/2012 & unless it self updated, I'm guessing it is running the 8/2011 firmware. But just noticed in the User Guide it says that when I run Cisco Connect it checks for updates & installs them. But that's kind of interesting w all the warnings about running it w a wired connection to make sure no interruptions. Not sure how I have it set up, but I usually set software updates to prompt me so I can control when they actually run.
Once I have gotten that, will I be able to manually download the appropriate firmware version? Or if I click on that, will that start a set up or update process?
If I download Cisco Connect, will it update the already installed version, keeping all my existing info? & then will that be compatible w Mountain Lion & then show me whether the firmware needs to be updated?
Kathi

But anyway, I can't even open the old version!!! I just get a message about unsupported OS! So kind of hard to uninstall if I can't open it.
& for some reason when I was installing Mountain Lion, upgrading from Snow Leopard it found an old version of Parallels which I knew was not compatible. Didn't even think about this.
Its sort of working but something is not working very well. I sure wish I hadn't listened to those who said to save the $ & not get the Apple Airport Express. Their stuff works & its not hard to set up like this!
This is SO LAME!!!
& Where is lists the info, I have so far found NO INFO about updating. I usually have my software set to notify me so I control when it updates. & I think the last times I was in Cisco Connect it was under pressure just trying to get the router working again.
Right now I feel like throwing it at something.
Well, I have twice tried to download from the list for my model & when I click on the set up icon I get a message that "Setup" is damaged and can't be opened. You shold eject the disk image." But when I click for more info it says:

Windows 8.1 and Cisco Connect Incompatable

I've upgrades a couple of PC's to Windows 8.1. Upon discovering the printer attached to my E4200 v1 by its USB port was not showing after the upgrade, I re-ran Cisco Connect to re-install the printer.
----At this point I'd like to say up front that the E4200 is running the latest firmware, and I am using the latest Cisco Connect available - albeit 2 years old.-----
Cisco Connect gets as far as the USB Printer connect button before displaying an error page telling me "our customer support can help" and giving a link to a support page that doesn't work. Typical Cisco I fear.......
Digging deeper, the Windows Device Manager is showing the system device SXUPTP driver has been blocked from loading, quote:
"The software for this device has been blocked from starting because it is known to have problems with Windows. Contact the hardware vendor for a new driver. (Code 48)
Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available."
Clicking on "Check for solutions" doesn't find one (typical Microsoft), and letting Windows search for a newer driver doesn't find anything either.
Both PC's, a laptop and a desktop, are the behaving the same - so not a PC issue. Both worked with Windows 8.0.
So what's the story Cisco? We need a Connect update, or at least a fixed driver - when will we see this?
Thnx.

Ok - no thanks to Cisco, I seemed to have found an answer. This is unofficial, do at your own risk. Creating a system restore point first would be sensible.
The clue is the Cisco SXUPTP driver is copyright to Silex. The E4200 must have a Silex chip on board to talk to the USB port, and the SXUPTP driver on the PC is what talks to the chip. I visited the Europe Silex site (the US site is harder to get through - it wants you to know which Silex chip you've got as a starting point) at:
http://www.silexeurope.com/en/home/support/productgroups/common-downloads/
I downloaded SX-Virtual Link 3.12.0 dated 29.05.2013 (05/29/2013 in US speak). This downloaded a zip file called s-33a3120a.zip. I unzipped the contents and ran Cosetup.exe to install. After a restart I now have a functioning SXUPTP driver 3.7.1.0. (Forget what the original Cisco one was - 3.5.0.0?)
Ran Cisco Connect again, and all proceeded as normal. Printer re-installed.
The Silex setup program also installs a piece of software called SX Virtual Link, which seems to offer some low level control over the link to the E4200 USB port. I haven't had a play with this.
So why did I have to hack my way through this? Why didn't Cisco post Windows 8 updates BEFORE it was released, let alone 8.1? NOT impressed.

E3000 Router without Cisco Connect

I just setup my new E3000 which in general is working great. Being a Cisco geek at work, my first step was to connect via http and toss the Cisco Connect CD to the side. After getting the basics setup to mimic my old Cisco 871W, I started to look into some of the whiz bang features on teh E3000.
The first one that I wanted to take advantage of was having a different SSID for the 5GHz band from the 2.4GHz band. In the web interface this seemed simple to do, but although the SSID was showing up on my laptop I was unable to connect to it. As soon as I made the SSIDs the same, my laptop connected to the 5GHz side or 2.4GHz just fine. Is there some magic to getting this setup?
The other feature I wanted to setup was the Guest access. Unfortunately it looks like this feature is hidden unless you use Cisco Connect and if you don't use 192.168.1.1 for your router Cisco Connect can't see it. Am I missing something somewhere?
Thanks,

I initially had a different SSID for the 5GHz band and was able to connect my Wireless-N bridge to it without any problems. However, hours later, both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands flaked out, and now I can't get anything to connect to them. The wired portion of my router works fine. I'll be doing a firmware reinstall and 30/30/30 hard reset tomorrow. I assume it might be an issue with the firmware being 1.0. if it's not, it's being returned for another unit.
As for guest access, yes, you can only adjust it through Cisco Connect. There is no web UI option for it. If you change the password of your router, its default IP, and possibly its name, Cisco Connect will not work.
Cisco really screwed up this release. Hopefully the next firmware release will fix all of this.

E3000 "Cisco Connect" install?

How smart is "Cisco Connect?
I am about to install a new E3000 for my LAN
and have doubts about using "CC" vs manual setup,
But would like to use it if it helps with my limited skills.
There are 3 desktops wired and a laptop to be wireless.
Modem/Router is DSL-DHCP CenturyLink/Embarq- Zyxel EQ-660R.
Mixed OS's: WXP, W7(rarely use), W2K(?work), Linux(rarely).
Present router Linksys BEFSR41 in Gateway mode(could never
get it to do DHCP) with fixed IP for each computer.
Oddly, I've used NetBEUI for LAN, but will remove this.
Questions about "CC":
1. From what I read, it appears to want to do PPPoE for
   DSL service. Will it detect or can it be set for DHCP service?
2. Does it do all the OS Windows network configuration, or
   should this be done manually before install.
3. Can I use it for the initial set-up, especially wireless
   which I've never done, then later go back to change PPPoE
   to DHCP, realizing that it will then no longer work.
4. I would like to avoid bridging modem, but have users of E3000
   had better results with this.
Thanks in advance for your help.

First, you have to set your modem/router to take care of PPPoE so you won't have a problem with E3000. Make sure you have your username and password for PPPoE.
1. You can set it to DHCP as long as PPPoE is being handled by the modem/router.
2. You have to set all computers to obtain IP automatically and remove the static IP.
3. Yes. CC is intended for the initial setup, even before connecting to the internet.
4. You need to cascade the routers since you have E3000 connected to a modem/router.
In case CC won't work. I'd suggest you do the manual thing. Here's the procedure for cascading routers and DSL connection. In cascading the routers, use the Internet-LAN connection.

Using Cisco Connect with several E1000 routeres

I have two E1000 routeres, one at home and one at the office, and I have installed the Cisco Connect (CC) software on my laptop, and used it to congifure both devices with.
The first time I tried to connect CC to the router at the office, it removed the settings from my home router, and accessed the E1000 ok and I could configure it without any problems via CC.
But when I now tries to use CC to configure my home router via CC, it keeps complaining about me not beeing connected to the right router, and CC won't allow me to connect to my home router eventhough I type in the correct password etc.
Does anybody know of a trick to use the same CC for configuring multiple E1000's ? Or how to get CC to "forget" its settings and connect to a new E1000 router?
Thanks.

So the concern that you said is the configuration of the Router ( E1000 ) at home.. So could please inform us the name of the ISP( Internet Service Provider )... So it all depends upon the ISP( Internet Service Provider ) setup...
If you want to configure the router with the help of the CD so for that you need to uninstall the existing Cisco Connect Software from the computer...
Reset the Router and power cycle the network...
Make the following connectivity Modem ----> Router -----> Computer... Then install the Cisco Connect Software... It will help you in configuring the Router...
