Linksys E2000 router is incompatible with Linux?

Hi All, I have Cisco/Linksys E2000 router setup for home wireless network. I had been setup while ago and well working since then. Now the challenge: I need to know or to change the wireless guest network password. Linux support says it can be done ONLY using a local application, not the web interface. And only from Windows computer. In my situation, I have Linuxes, blackberry, players and other network equipment but no Microsoft software. I did not know that router doesn't work with Linux when I bought it. Had anybody resolved similar issue? Thanks Yu

Sorry the software is only supported on Windows or MAC. You will need this to administer the Guest network.

Reset Linksys E2000 router and now my HP-6310 is Offline.

I recently reset my wireless Linksys E2000 router...changed network SSID name and WPA security key and now no one on my home network can print to the HP-6310. I am running Windows 7 and when I go to Devices and Printers, & double-click on HP Officejet 6300 Series, it shows the printer is "offline". My printer is configured as a network printer and is connected to my router via Ethernet cable. How do I get it back online and printing again?
Would really appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Gary

Delete all instances of the printer in Devices & Printers. Re-add it with this method:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your network. Verify that you can access the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address before continuing. Get its IP from a Network Test printed from the front panel of the printer.
2. Click >> Start >> Control panel >> Devices & Printers.
3. Click the Add a printer
4. Select Local printer
5. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port and click Next button.
6. Under Device type, select TCP/IP Device. Under Hostname or IP address, enter the printer's IP address. Click Next.
7. Select Hewlett-Packard from the list of manufacturers and select and select your printer model. Click Next.
If your printer model was not listed, then select Have Disk, browse the HP CD that came with your printer and select the first file that starts with hp and ends with inf. Click Open then OK. Select your printer model. Click Next.
8. If you are asked, use the currently installed driver.
9. It will ask for the Printer name -- enter a new name or use the existing one. This will be the name of the printer that you select from other applications.
10. You may be asked to share the printer. Choose NO.
11. The Print Test Page box appears. Go ahead and print it.
12. Click Finish.

Linksys wireless router G problem with ASUS Eee PC 1000H laptop

This is a new laptop with a Ralink rt2860 chipset. Problem: I have trouble connecting to the router at my office. When I can connect, I often get such a low connection speed that the signal drops out and I lose the connection entirely. I have no trouble connecting to other routers. ASUS tech support says this is not a problem with the laptop. The rep told me that some "older" routers have a problem recognizing the Ralink chipset. Logically, if I can connect but it drops out, does this indicate a need for a signal booster? Does anyone know about any related compatibility issues? Thanks for any help; this is driving me nutty!

I know just enough to be dangerous. How is the change the channel on the router changed? Sounds like a system administrator job...

Linksys e2000 router Open NAT troubleshooting multiple xbox 360's

Hello,
I've been searching for about 4 hours now how to fix my NAT problems. I thought it had it working on one xbox in my bedroom, as it said OPEN NAT. But, when I looked at my Xbox in the living room, it said MODERATE NAT. How can I get these both to say OPEN NAT? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

If you're attempting to game with multiple 360s, port triggering would be your best option.
You might succeed in getting open NAT on both but the issue would be if you'd be able to play the same game on both consoles simultaenously. Since both consoles will use the same Internet port, the game packets will only be sent to one local IP address. Some games support this and some don't so if you're unable to get open NAT on both game consoles, call your ISP and request for another IP address. That should solve everything.

Help setting up my Linksys E2000 to play a game

I just recently bought a Linksys E2000 router. Works great while searching the internet and such.. But I get huge lag spikes while playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. I know its not my computer. When I take it to work and hook up to my jobs wireless connection I can play lag free. Also if I disconnect the router and hook up directly to my cable modem I can play lag free. SO I am fairly certain that the problem lies in my router settings.. Can any of you help me out? I don't have the slightest idea how to set up a router. I know the game says my Nat needs to be completely open while playing the game and that I should forward certain ports. I have no clue how to do either of that.. I will copy and paste some instructions from the forums for the game for you all to see. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Required Ports for Modern Warfare 2
In addition to the required ports for Steam, Modern Warfare 2 requires the following ports for multiplayer:
UDP 1500 (outbound only, no forward needed)
UDP 3005 (outbound only, no forward needed)
UDP 3101 (outbound only, no forward needed)
UDP 28960 (inbound/outbound, must forward to act as a multi-player host, but no forward or inbound traffic needed to find and join games)
Steam Client
UDP 27000 to 27015 inclusive (Game client traffic)
UDP 27015 to 27030 inclusive (Typically Matchmaking and HLTV)
TCP 27014 to 27050 inclusive (Steam downloads)
Dedicated or Listen Servers
TCP 27015 (SRCDS Rcon port)

You don't really have to set up a static IP for your computer. All you got to do is reserve that IP in DHCP reservation on your router. Get the MAC address of your computer, put that in the DHCP reservation located on the setup page under Basic Settings. Choose the IP you want, within the scope of DHCP. Make sure to save it. So everytime you connect to the router, it will assign that IP to your computer.

HP Laptop and Linksys E2000

I cannot get the HP laptop HP dv6915 connected to a Cisco Linksys E2000 router. I have updated drivers for the WiFi card but can't get connected via the wireless connection. Cisco is no help at all. Does anytone have the magic answer on how to make this connection?

Hi:
The only thing I can think of, is because the E2000 is a selectable dual band router, you should make sure it is set for the 2.4 GHz frequency. If it is set to the 5 GHz frequency, your wireless card won't pick it up. According to the specs on your notebook, it has a wireless G (2.4 GHz) card.

Nokia's Ovi Suite (etc.) is as incompatible with Linux as diesel fuel in a petrol car, so let that idea go. But there are Linux solutions. For me, I have two 8 GB memory cards, both nearly full with mp3's, and all those songs were installed to the cards using drag-and-drop. You don't necessarily need a software program, just Mass Storage mode. I made a folder called "Music" in the root area of the card and moved all the band/singer folders (with individual album folders inside) there. The Music Player should find them, or manually refresh the database. The same thing should work for pictures, although there may be some differences between your E7 and my E73.
As for the other functionality, I did a few web searches and found several "Suite" programs like Wammu, Xgnokki, and Nokuntu. Search these forums for "Ubuntu" and you will find many other similar discussions. /t5/PC-and-Mac-Software/Nokia-PC-Suite-Ubuntu/td-p/247373 is the one that got me started. Wammu and Xgnokki should both be available through the Ubuntu Software Center (Applications -> Ubuntu Software Center, unless they changed the menu layout). Nokuntu looks really interesting, but you have to get it separately from http://sourceforge.net/projects/nokuntu/ .
Embarrassingly, I have never used any of these programs, so you will have to experiment to see what works. You won't have full Ovi Suite support, like firmware installs and maps downloads, but it's something. If you realize that most Linux programmers are university students, or people like you and me, writing software for fun, I think this is quite acceptable. Not to mention that large companies like Nokia aren't always forthcoming about how their own software works. Linux can be a chaotic OS, so take it slowly don't expect everything to work as smoothly as commercial software. If you have specific questions about programs like Wammu, most have their own web site and support system (i.e. http://wammu.eu/support/ ), or you could visit the Ubuntu forums http://ubuntuforums.org/ . Or you could follow-up here. I hope that helps!

Does my Linksys E2000 support VDSL2?

My dutch ISP (Online) has sent us a new modem/router, a HUAWEI HG655d Home Gateway. I want to bridge it and and carry on using my existing Linksys E2000 router to manage the traffic on my home network.
I've been having problems setting this up and someone has suggested that perhaps it's because the E2000 doesn't support VDSL2.
Can anyone please clear this up for me?
I've also attached a screenshot of the WAN settings page for the new HUAWEI modem/router. Why are there 2 seemingly identical ADSL2+ connections listed, and also 2 seemingly identical VDSL2 connections, all enabled? Can I switch between them at will? If the E2000 doesn't support VDSL2 can I simply choose to use, say, ADSL2+, does the Linksys E2000 support ADSL2+ and what difference would that make? Or is VDSL2 pre-ordained by my ISP and unchangeable?
I'm not too smart about all this stuff, but I really need to sort this out. The kids are getting restless, they'll be coming for me soon, and I've only got so many bullets... ;-)
Thanks in advance

Can't find wireless printer with E2000 router

I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 (running Vista Home Premium) that connects to my Linksys E2000 and to a wireless printer, the Canon MX870. It's been working for months without problems.
I just got a Toshiba Satellite P770-BT4G22 Laptop (running Window 7 Professional 64 bit) and installed the Cisco Connect software following the instructions where you have already set up the router and just need to install the software to do things like add a device. I can connect to the router fine using a web browser or the Cisco Connect Software and my Toshiba connects to the Internet through the router without problems.
The problem is Cisco Connect says it can't find a wireless printer when I run it on my new Toshiba. I've put the printer within 3 feet of the router with my Toshiba in between but still it can't find it. My Dell in another room connects to the printer no problem. And I can print to the Canon if I select the Shared Canon Printer ( on the Dell) using the Toshiba's Control Panel Add Printer function. But obviously that means the Dell has to be on so that's not good for much more than troubleshooting. I've also wired a connection from the printer to the Toshiba and downloaded the latest driver, printed that way so I know that's not the problem. The problem is that Cisco Connect can't find the printer. It says there are 6 devices attached to my router so it's seeing something, but I guess not the printer. I've turned any firewalls off for this testing too.
I'm stumped as to why it can't find the printer when the Dell did and they are all on the same network. Unless it's not compatible with 64 bit Windows. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I have already added the printer to my network using Windows Add Printer prior to assigning the printer a static IP. But I followed your instructions in making the IP static so if I reset the router I don't have to go through the process again.
When I ran CC and told it to add a printer, it did not identify any printer for me, it went from the screen where you say to add a printer to one where it asked me to name the printer. Honestly, I wasn't even sure if it was referring to the Canon because I'd already added it using Windows, albeit without a static IP, just by knowing what IP it had been assigned. After I gave it the name, it went back to the "home" screen with computers & devices, parental controls, etc. No errors, but no real way to see or change what I had done.
That's why I was asking if there's a way to look at the router and view devices that have a static IP. I can view the DHCP table but it's not there of course. I don't really see anywhere using the router software (either by web connection or CC) where the Canon printer is listed. I see it in Windows Printers, but I saw it there before I reran CC and it asked me to name it.
I appreciate your help and I'm glad to be up and running with it. Especially with having a static IP. I'm just trying to better understand what happened and how to view my devices connected to the router.
Thank you very much for your help.

Problems with linksys wireless router please help!

Me and my 2 flat mates share a wireless network, and for some reasons if cannot connect to it. I have vista home premium and a belkin dongle. We used a Linksys router to begin with, not sure which model, but we recently had to buy a new one because that did not belong to us. I can see the network so the dongle picks up the signal but every time I connect and put in the network key I either get Not close enough to the net work point (the router is about 5 meters away) The network key is incorrect (I created the password and it works on the other two people lap tops) The network has timed out. Sometimes I can connect to the network for a moment then it kicks me off. The connection wizard shows the network at full signal. I’m not sure what the problem is, I have done a full restore on my computer and the dongle was installed onto my computer via the disc it came with. I do have another dongle that is a Linksys one; however it does the same thing. Not sure what the problem is here, can anyone help before I have to go out and buy long network cable and have wires all over my flat i have a heap of work that needs doing this week so any ideas would be really helpfull

I would first try and bring your computer (if possible) closer to the connection point. That way it will have full time to connect. Also sometimes some materials in the walls mess with connections due to the type of material. Sometimes if your IP address is not quite right you will connect but then get booted offline. Sometimes if you don’t broadcast your ssid you cannot connect. (one of my Visa Networks does this ssid broadcast must be on).
Are you using WPA or WEP because Sometimes WEP is not as stable with some wireless modems/ so changing to WPA might solve your problem

I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac. The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. Any tips on how to do this?

I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac. The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. I installed the current Bonjour printer services software on the Windows machine, and separately installed the driver software for the Epson printer on the WIndows machine. Running the bonjour wizard, I get an alert saying 'I don't have sufficient access to my computer to connect to the selected printer'.
The printer has 'sharing' turned on from the Mac end; this works with a Powerbook via the wireless connection. Sharing is also turned on in the Windows printer control panel for this printer (under properties). The Mac is a G5 running 10.5.8. When I try to print a page from the Windows machine it gets hung in the print queue.
Any advice how to proceed would be appreciated!

How do I make airport time capsule work with Linksys cisco router?

Hi all.
I bought an airport time capsule 3T and want to connect it to the internet, using a macbook with OS X 10.9.2. Currently I am using a Linksys Cisco router model WAG54G2.
I followed the steps of the setup airport guide: Connected the WAN port of the airport with an ethernet port on the router, plugged in the power cable, filled in the internet username and password. In Airport Utility I can see the airport and the internet icon, both with green dots most of the time. But it seems to disconnect every minute or so, green dots turning orange and the status light on the airport flashing orange. The internet light on the linksys also goes on and off. When the internet is on, it is quite slow.
Advice is welcome!
Kees

No guarantees here. AirPort Utility 6.3.1 is a big drop down from the 5.x versions in Leopard and Snow Leopard.
Hold in the reset button on the back of the Time Capsule for 9-10 seconds and release
Allow a full minute for the TC to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
Click the AirPort icon at the top of the screen and wait a few seconds for a listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear. Just below that, click on Time Capsule.
The example below shows an AirPort Express. You will see Time Capsule.
As soon as you click on the Time Capsule, AirPort Setup will open up automatically and take a minute to analyze the network....and probably suggest that the Time Capule will be configured to "extend"....which is wrong.
Click the Other Options button at the lower left
Click Add to an existing network
Next to Connect To.....select the wireless network name from the drop down list....if it appears. Otherwise type in the exact name of the wireless network.
Click Next
Confirm any settings again and wait to see if AirPort Utility 6.3.1 will allow the Time Capsule to join the wireless network.
You have about a 1 in 5 chance that this will occur.
Post back on your results.
