Linksys e2000 starting to go bad?

Hello all. I'm starting to worry that my e2000 router might be going bad. I had it set up as a wi-fi repeater (same SSID/authentication as the main router), using the dd-wrt ROM, but last night I kept losing the wireless connection. At first I thought it was my computer connected via ethernet  (I was/am using as a server and was trying to replace CentOS Linux with Gentoo)  but my laptop, which is connected wirelessly and my phone kept losing the signal as well. Thinking the problem might be with dd-wrt, I reflashed the latest stock Linksys e2000 ROM, but nothing changed. Today, I plugged my laptop into the router, and I still kept losing the connection. By now, it was using the default SSID and authentication settings.
Any ideas? Could my router be going bad, or is there something I'm missing. I did a factory reset before I reflashed the original ROM and after, but it's still not holding a connection for more about 30-45 seconds.

I haven't had much luck using DD-WRT as a signal repeater but it works well as a wireless bridge.
To setup DD-WRT as a wireless bridge you should have setting something like this:

Wireless security must match main router:

  • 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 E2000 Parental Control problems

    I bought a brand spanking new Linksys E2000. I get great connection speeds and awesome range, until the day I set up parental controls. Once I set them up, It slowed my connections down to a crawl. Thinking that I did something wrong, I reset the router and did the entire installation. Everything was back to normal, but it did it again once I set up the parental controls.
    (Mod note: Post was edited for guidelines compliance.)

    Don't find it's Parental Control features useful:
    1. Can't set the starting from beyong 12 midnight, say from 1am onward.
    2. Can't set keywords
    3. Once you set the password, the Access Restriction function of the Router's web-based setting is disabled. You have to reset the router and uninstall Ciscso Connect and install it again.
    The Cisco Connect.exe file had mysteriously disappeared from the first computer I used to install the software, so much so that I could not run it, uninstall it nor re install it.
    I gave up and install it on another computer.This time I didn't touch the Parental Control and just went directly to use the Router's web-based setting which is more useful.

  • 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)
    Solved!

    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.

        IP: 192.168.1.xxx
        Mask: 255.255.255.0
        GW: 192.168.1.1

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Linksys E2000 drops connection

    Hey everyone, I have had my Linksys E2000 for a few months now. But up until now, I havent used the wireless settings too much, I have had everything hardwired into the router. 
    I decided last week to set up the wireless settings so that I can connect my PC and Xbox's wirelessly. They are all within about 10 feet from the router. The connection is fine for a while, but after a few days it begins to degrade. I opened up a command line and pinged 192.168.1.1 to see results of 150+ms on my PC wirelessly. Wired it was about 2ms.
    All of my devices have a static IP address on the LAN, and one of my Xbox's is in the DMZ, still dropping connection often. I moved my PC and DMZ Xbox to another room on the second floor of my house and its still about the same speed.
    I set my old wireless G router up and its working fine......but I use my PC as a home media server, so 54mbps is very slow for media that needs upwards of 100+mbps. My ISP subscription is about 12mbps, which I get all 12 of those on a hardwired machine, but a wireless on the E2000 is lucky to get 3 of those.
    I have everything set up correctly in the router settings, MTU of 1500, with only Wireless N broadcasting. I also noticed that the E2000 will drop connection much faster if the SSID is hidden.My old Wireless G router is getting pings of less then 1ms wirelessly.
    I have the Xbox S models and my wireless adapter is a Edimax wireless N adapter. Could this be a defective router? Any options to try to fix the problems?

    I'm experiencing similar problems as well.  I'm going to try these settings out and see what happens.  Reseting my router fixes the problem, but I don't want to have to do this once a week or more.  My WRT54GS worked great, but I wanted the speed that N had to offer.   Its rather annoying because I hate having to go upstairs every time I need to reset my router in order to get an IP address on my wireless laptop downstairs.
    This seems to be an apparent problem among Wireless-N in general.  D-Link, Linksys and Netgear all seem to have problems with dropped wireless-N connections on their routers too. Read the reviews on Amazon & Newegg for yourself.

  • Linksys E2000 connecting only to local

    Good Day, wondering if anyone can assist me. I have a linksys e2000. since recently i am only able to connect to the local network there is no internet access. this is a major issue because i need wireless access.  Does anyone have any solutions i could try. I am using windows 7.

    There's a possibity that the router or modem stopped providing internet connection. For this issue, you can check if the wired connection is working (wireless connection will not work if wired is not working). Connect your computer to the router and check if you can get online. If not, bypass the router and connect the computer to your modem. If the internet won't work, call your internet service provider. If internet will work on the modem, then it's a router problem. A reset and reconfiguration might be needed to get it working again. To proceed with the reset, just push and hold the reset button on back of the router for 10seconds. Wait for the power light to be solid and proceed with the reconfiguration. If you still have the setup cd, you can run it on your computer. If you don't have it anymore, these links will provide you instructions on how to reconfigure your router manually: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=93d3d72ddaad4d01b2f9da5d51eaf0d4_Setting_Up_your_L..., http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=80&vw=1&articleid=3687, http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=80&vw=1&articleid=3686.

  • Linksys E2000 (2 Xbox 360's and 1 PS3) Open Nat Problem

    Hi everyone,
    I recently bought the Linksys E2000 for my house so i could enjoy wireless internet. The problem is i have two Xbox 360s which one is wired and the other wireless. It seems that i can't have both Xboxs with OPEN NAT and whichever one connects to the router first is the one to have OPEN NAT no matter what. This leaves the other Xbox with MODERATE or STRICT. Is there a way to have both open at the same time? If anybody knows help would be appreciated! Thanks
    **I have a PS3 also connected wirelessly, but that one is always OPEN. Didn't know if that would affect my PS3's NAT if i were to change the setting on my router.

  • Linksys E2000 Fail

    So the other day I am having problems with my router , I stop by Best Buy and pick up a Linksys E2000 . Almost the top of the line router, out of the box it will not talk to the modem. Ok I have Charter come and replace the modem, plug back in the brand NEW router still will not get a IP from the modem. I update the firmware in the router and ask Linksys support for help and still it will not connect to the internet. This is the 2nd Linksys product I have got in the last 2 years that have failed or failed to get fixed by Linksys !

    most cable providers don't have mac clone registration security on their lines but on some that do, you need to have that done no matter what the brand of your router is. Are you doing the MAC Address clone procedure on the primary computer? Are you doing it while wired on the router? The wired adapters mac address is the one you have to put into the router mac address clone subtab so you'd get connected. I would suggest you take a look at the mac address you are getting while directly connected to the modem first then write it down, go to the router setup page and see if the same numbers and letters appear, if not then change it to that and turn off everything then turn them back on. That should get you online.

    I'm looking for a wireless router that will be connected to a cable modem and is DOCSIS compatible, would the Linksys E2000 be a good choice ?

    If your cable modem has an ethernet port then it's compatible. The modem must be DOCSIS. The router doesn't care.
