Guest Network on E3000 / Password problem

Hi,
I have the E3000, I want to use the Guest Network for wireless access.  Using Cisco Connect I add a password to the Guest Network. The Guest network then shows up as open or unsecure on laptop and phone.  I have renamed my network and changed the main password and nothing seems to help, Guest always shows up as unsecure or open. I tried Cisco chat and they were no help.
Any ideas on how I can get the password to work on the Guest Network?
OS Windows Vista SP2
Using Cisco Connect
Firmware: 1.0.04 build 6
Thanks for your help.

  • SCCM 2012 Network Access Account password problem

    Hello Everyone,
    I got a problem with the Network Access Account on SCCM 2012. I didn't have any problem previously and can deploy OS successfully. The problem started last week when I tried to deploy an OS. It gave me a error on Task Sequence then I searched for the error
    and found that its related with the Network Access Account. On SCCM Config Manager I checked the Network Access Account and found that I had the wrong password. But the bigger problem starts here: on configManager Administration/Security/accounts window
    I open my NAS properties and on the verify window tried to reach a simple network share and it says the password is wrong, then I change the password and tried to verify one more time and it successfully reaches the share, I simply click apply and
    OK as usual but when I open the properties window I always see the old password stays there. I tried to change the password maybe 100 time but I didn't work. My NAS is a normal domain account with Domain Users permissions, I ve already
    checked the password, account and password never expires options, they are all rightly configured. I also tried to make a new account to use as a NAS, then I set it on SCCM as a NAS but the result is always the same. Accounts
    have wrong password and I cant change and save it. Actually I can change till I close the properties window then its all gone , reset to old wrong password. Please help me with that, I am googling it like 2 days and found that the same thing happened
    to 2 other people, but there is no solution... 

    That workaround seems to work.  Only verify when you first type the password and get the success/confirmation message.  Once you hit OK to save the password, something happens to it (probably encrypts the password entered). If you open the account
    settings again, I assume SCCM takes the password from the database or task sequence in it's encrypted form and presents that in the text boxes.  Clicking OK will save the password again, but because it is presented in it's encrypted form, will re-encrypt
    this as a new password and effectively change what you originally entered as the password.  Again, I'm just assuming this based on what I observed. If it's true, then definately a bug.
    I think this is pretty correct. This whole (non?)-issue was a massive red-herring for me. I spent a week trying to understand what was wrong, but eventually discovered the issue was a couple of steps down the line. SCCM errors on the surface level are pretty
    consistently confusing. 9 times out of ten, I have been lead astray by them. Crack open your log files, your real problems will be in there.

  • No password on guest network = unsecured network overall?

    Hi
    Just wondering if leaving the "guest network" password free creates an unsecured network overall? I just purchased an Airport Extreme to replace a D-link router [that would no longer stream airtunes (to my airport express) since I upgraded to snow leopard. (A common problem it seems)] Airtunes works great but to maintain a connection for the Nintendo DS's in the household I have to leave the guest network without a password. Is this a security issue?
    Thanks

    No. The guest network of an AirPort base station uses a different set of IP addresses, so the two networks are isolated from each other.

  • Airport Extreme 802.11AC + 5th Gen and guest network access

    I have the current gen Airport Extreme 802.11AC with a 5th Gen extending the network. With this setup, I am unable to login using our guest network setup. I have tried using guest network with a password and one without but its the same results. When a guest logins, it stuck attempting to login with no error messages.
    So is it possible to have this configuration and still have guest network access?

    Please review what I said originally.......that the guest network function on the AirPort Extreme is designed to work with a simple modem......so the AirPort acts as the main router for the network..
    Another way of saying the same thing is that the AirPort needs to be "in charge" of your network for the guest feature to work correctly. The AirPort cannot be in charge if it is connected to another device that is already configured to be the main router on your network.....your Actiontec modem/router.
    The Actiontec device combines the functions of a separate modem and a separate router in one package. This type of device is known as a modem/router, or also known as a gateway.
    Some folks call a modem/router or a gateway......a modem. So, things can get confusing.
    I do not know if it is possible for the Actiontec device that you have to be configured to act as a simple modem.....so the routing functions of the device are completely turned off. (Turning off the wireless on the Actiotec does not turn off the routing function).
    If you turn off the wireless on the Actionec, it becomes a modem and a wired router. And that wired router is still in charge of your network.
    The guest network feature will not work correctly unless the AirPort is in charge of your network.
    My suggestion was for you to ask your Internet Service Provider (ISP), if they could supply you with a simple modem.  That is all that you need. You don't need two routers....and the Actiontec that you have now is not allowing the guest feature to work correctly.

  • How do I set up a guest network on my Time Capsule?

    how do I set up a guest network on my Time Capsule?

    If that is the case, then......
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utiltiies > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup
    Locate the Guest Network tab located just below the row of icons and click on it
    (If you do not see a Guest Network tab....you likely do not have the Time Capsule connected to a simple modem)
    Enter a check mark next to "Enable Guest Network"
    Type in a name for the Guest Network
    Enter the password and confirm
    Click Update to save your settings and Time Capsule will restart in 25-30 seconds

  • Guest Network Internet Not Working

    Hi,
    I recently replaced the router on my network with a new AirPort Extreme. I use the AirPort utility to configure the AE, and turned on the guest network feature.
    My problem is that I can get internet access when I use the guest network instead of the internal network. The problem persists on both Mac's and PC's.
    What might be the problem, and how to I fix it?

    Version 7.5.1 is the latest version of firmware for the AirPort Extreme so you are definitely up to date in that respect.
    Other than trying a power cycle of the network, (power everything off and then start the modem first and let it run a few moments, then the AirPort Extreme for a few moments, then your other devices and computers one at time), there's really nothing more in way of troubleshooting that I can suggest.
    If you try a few restarts and the same issue persists, I would suspect that you, like some other recent users, have a defective device that should be replaced.
    Please let us know how things progress.

  • Cannot connect to the secure network but can to the guest network

    I have three computers in my home, all Apple. One is an iMac with 10.5 installed, another is a powerbook g4 17" with 10.5 installed and the third is an old titanium powerbook g4 15" with 10.4 installed. All of them have the newest versions of software.
    I just bought a new time capsule and that has the newest firmware upgrade installed. I set the time capsule up with a secure WPA Personal network and a guest network with no password. I can connect to the secure network on the iMac and the 17" powerbook but the titanium powerbook cannot even see the secure network or connect to it if I enter it and put in the correct password. However the titanium powerbook can see and connect to the guest network.
    Please help, I need to be able to print from the titanium powerbook to an ethernet printer connected to the time capsule.
    I've tried adding a wireless client with no password in airport utility thinking I could connect the titanium powerbook that way and that does not work either.

    Actually I have figured it out. I guess the titanium powerbooks cannot do WPA encryption, only WEP but I cannot choose WEP in the airport utility nor do I want to. I did find a work around though.
    In airport utility I went to the base station menu and clicked on "equivalent network password" and it shows the WPA password and then something called "WPA Pre-Shared Key". The key is a 64 character password but I tried it on the titanium powerbook and it worked!

  • E3000 guest network access problems

    Hi,
    I have the E3000 router and am using an Engenious repeater.  I only turn on the repeater when I'm playing PS3 because it boosts the signal dramatically.  However,  if someone in my house is connected to the boosted network when I'm using the PS3 I get horrible lag on my PS3.  Yesterday I tried connecting the laptop to my guest network while my PS3 was connected to the boosted network, and it worked great. Now, however, I'm unable to connect to the guest network on my laptop.  It takes 2 minutes to identify the network and then when it connects it says no internet access.  I have the Cisco connect software installed on the laptop.  When i run the windows 7 network troubleshoot it detects a problem with the network adapter and says it resolved the problem, but really it just connects me to my main wireless signal and not the guest one.
    Thanks in advance for any help

    Guest network is unsecured wireless network and it works on 2.4 GHz wireless band.
    If you are able to connect to the main network then I think there should not be any problem to connect to the guest network.
    The main network has the IP address in the range of 192.168.1.xxx whereas guest network works on 192.168.33.xxx IP address. You have installed the Cisco connect software on your laptop. I think your laptop might be trying to connect to the main wireless network automatically.
    You can try upgrading the firmware on your router and see if that makes any difference.

  • My new iphone4 connected to the internet fine at the store today, but will not connect to my wifi at home - it sees the guest network, but does not give me a place to enter the password

    I just got a new iphone 4 (my first one) and the internet worked great at the store, as well as in the parking lot at the grocery store on the way home - yes I was playing with it!  Anyway, now that I'm home and the store is closed, it won't connect to my home wifi.  It sees the guest network, but it doesn't give me place to put in the password, so I'm not sure if that's why it won't work.  Also, I don't know what settings to put in for the screen that comes after the network choice screen - it has IP Addresses with DHCP, BootP, and Statis (I don't know what any of these are or mean!)  It also has a 'renew lease' button that I have no idea what to do with, and it has a section with HTTP proxy that is highlighted "off" but also has 'manual' and 'auto' options - maybe these are not set correctly?
    Very frustrating that there is no manual, and the website doesn't really help with this at all.  Thanks so much!

    If you look at the top left of your screen you will either see a 3G (or 4G if you have AT&T) or you will see the wi-fi symbol.  If you don't see the wi-fi symbol you are connecting to Gmail through your cellular data plan, not via wi-fi.
    To answer your question, it doesn't happen often but when it does the steps I mentioned above will normally resolve it.  Hopefully you won't have any further problem with this.

  • 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.

  • IPhone5 can access guest network without password

    I have just finished setting up the Cisco Valet M20 and tried to access the "guest network" using password. All devices connected to "guest network" were taken to a login screen for a password. All except the iPhone5. The phone was able to have connect wirelessly without having to go to the login screen and enter the guest password. I have tried changing "guest network's" password and resetting the network configuration of my iPhone5, still the same result.  My laptop, iPad and andriod phone did go  through the login screen for password. Is there a fix to this problem? 

    Since other wireless devices were working thru the guest network as they should, I believe it has something to do with the IPhone5. How about you try this workaround: disable the guest network, turn the M20 off for 10-15 seconds, once you power it back on, access the cisco connect software again and enable the guest network. On your iphone, try to reset the network settings again then try to connect to the guest network.

  • E3000 Guest Network

    Does anyone know if the E-Series Routers (E3000 in particular) has a timeout for the Guest Network access? I can't find any documentation about this. When I test it, it I access the guest network, close my browsers, logout, restart, etc, etc and still can access the internet through the guest network without having to authenticate again. 
    Basically what I'm trying to accomplish is I want guests to able to access the internet when they are in the office, but I would only want them to have access for the day or for a few hours and then they have to re-enter the password. I know if they have the password already, they can just re-enter it, but I would still like to force guests to Re-Authenticate again.

    Guest network is unsecured and anyone can connect to the wireless network. But when you open the Internet browser it will ask you for the guest password.
    I don't think there is any time out for Guest network access.
    When you connect to the main wireless network, your computer will save the password for the main network. next time it will connect to the main network automatically without asking for the password.
    I think this is how the Guest network might also be working.

  • When attempting  to set a password on my Airport Extreme guest network i get this "Advertising a service globally using Bonjour requires a global hostname." What can i do to set password on this network?

    When attempting to set a password on my Airport Extreme Guest Network i get this "Advertising a service globally using Bonjour requires a global hostname." What does it mean. Or what i need to do to correct it.

    When trying to troubleshoot my problem I discovered a forum that was saying certain NTFS drives work just fine
    Apple support says that an NTFS or exFAT drive cannot be used when connected to the AirPort Extreme.
    I suppose it is possible that someone might have been using some type of special software on the drive that might perform a "conversion", but without more details, it is hard to know.
    Note: ExFAT and NTFS formats aren't supported.

  • Time Capsule + Airport Express (no password for extended guest network)

    Hi guys,
    I´m using at home an Time Capsule combined with an Airport Express for extended range.
    I´ve activated the Guest Network on the Time Capsule, using an WPA2 Password for it.
    Problem is, the Airport Express is extending both the regular network and the guest network, but there´s no password set for the extended guest network.
    So basically there are 4 networks, 3 are properly secured (TC regular and guest and AE regular) but I can´t set a password for the Guest Network that´s being extended by the Airport Express.
    I have looked everywhere on the AirPort Utility with no luck whatsoever.
    I appreciate any help on this.
    Kainan-Maki.

    Time Capsule and Airport Express, Windows 7
    So you don't have a Mac or even iOS device to setup the TC and express?
    This addition of extending guest is new in later firmware.. but you need the 6.2 utility to control it.. AFAIK.
