Linksys E2000 Won't Connect

My sister gave me her E2000. I run the setup program, my laptop sees the router and it shows a strong signal. When I try to connect with it, it won't connect.

I have a cable modem. No DSL, no FIOS.
Thanks for staying with me. Please understand that I have absolutely no common sense when it comes to networking, so if you could spell everything out simply and completely, then that would be helpful. Don't assume that I know anything about anything.
You asked me for the IP address of my desktop computer and when I gave it to you, now you say that that was the address of the modem. I'm confused. Do the modem and the computer both have different IP addresses? If so, then how do I know which is which?
First of all, if I connect my non wireless capable (NIC card ethernet only) desktop to any ethernet port on the router and connect the modem to any other ethernet port on the router, then I'm able to connect to the internet. After awhile, I lose connectivity and have to shut down the computer and the modem to reset things. I think it has something to do with dynamic IP assignment with the cable modem. Can I eliminate this and assign a static address to my desktop? I know how to do this with TCP/IP.
If I remove the modem from the ethernet port and connect it to the "internet" port, as it SHOULD BE, then I can't connect to the internet.
I assume that the router is functioning as a hub when both devices are connected to ethernet ports, although not sure why the computer loses its IP address after awhile.
Of course, I have not yet spoken about my wireless capable laptop......................the whole reason for this exercise..............

Cisco/Linksys E2000 and gigabit connectivity

I've got a pppoe dsl connection running through a thompson speedtouch. I'm running the 1.0.03 firmware and I've discovered a pretty brutal issue with the e2000 regarding gigabit connectivity
When I switch my network adapter to 10 or 100Mbit full duplex, it connects to the internet fine, but when I switch the adapter to 1.0Gb full duplex, I suddenly lose all internet access. not just web connectivity, but email connectivity and anything else to do with WAN traffic.
Other computers here have the capability of running gigabit but I've also had to switch them to 100Mbit just so they have any kind of internet access aswell.
Will this be fixed?

I also have an issie regarding this. I have cascaded E3000 routers and ther port cooentions have blue lights which is just at 100mb when in fact they should talk to each at Gb speedmand have yellow port lights. Is this correct?

My Wii and my Linksys WRT160N won't connect

When I try to go on to the internet from my Wii console I can only get to the point where the Wii console recognizes my network but won't allow me to connect to the internet (error code 51330).
I have tried turning the router firewall off and various other things but nothing has seemed to solve the problem...
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I had the exact same problem with this model of router and finally figured out how to fix it. First, go into your wii settings and then into the internet settings. Find your Mac address for the wii and write it down. After that you need to use the software that came with your linksys where you see the router and all the hubs surrounding it. You must log into your router and then you will see a menu that says something with "access". You will need to go there and on the second or third line there is a place for you to create a list. This is where you enter the wii Mac address. Once you do this and apply the new settings your wii should be working with the internet.

E2000 won't connect to laptop using Easy Setup Key

Running Win7. When trying to connect Lenovo laptop to E2000 with Easy Setup Key, the progress bar hangs at 25%. However, the E2000 will connect to the laptop with an Ethernet cable. Same problem on both of my Lenovo G555 laptops. Any ideas?

I have heard about this concern with Atheros adapters and where it cannot connect with WPA or WPA2. Check if you set the security to WEP if it will connect. (Usually it does). And better check for updated drivers from this website. http://www.atheros.cz/ (manually update the drivers). The automatic update with windows will most of the time load the same driver version. So it would be best to update the drivers manually.

Linksys E2000- says its connected - NO signal

Computer 1 month old - have 3 others. All picked up the Linksys info and are up and running except for the new one(desk-top). It shows the software in there - and says it is connected but only the tiniest signal bar is up and is says NO or poor signal. Anyone know why?? Have a lap top right beside it w/signal of excellent.

Do you have external wireless adapter installed on the new desktop computer?
Try to update the drivers of the wireless adapter on your computer. If your other computers are connected with the good signal strength then I think it must be the issue with the wireless adapter on that computer.

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.

Welcome to the Cisco Home Community.
Double check your configuration if you've followed setting up your router with your DSL connection correctly.

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.

My iPhone 3GS won't connect to my Linksys WRT160N v3

I have an iPhone 3GS and figured what a great idea it would be to have a wireless network in my house! So i bought a Linksys WRT160N v3 wireless router. And problems galore! I can connect to my network alright but my iPhone won't switch over to "wireless" mode if you know what i mean. It remains in "3G" mode. Not sure why it won't switch over. After doing some research, i may have stumbled upon the problem...maybe? Looking at the specs of an iPhone 3GS, it appears that it doesn't support "N" routers(i.e. 802.11 b/g - but no "N") So did i screw up and buy the wrong router? Is this router backwards compatible?
Thanks!
Dave

Same problem with Linksys WR160N and WiFi iPhone connection. No matter what you do it won't connect. It DOES for about 3min and then kicks you out, period.
I just bought this Linksys WR160N and my OLD Linksys G worked 100% better then this.

MBPro won't connect to Linksys e3000

I installed a new router, a Linksys E3000. No connection issues for any device except one MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8. (Another MacBook Pro connected without issue.
Problem Macbook will not connect by wifi to the network. Connects fine by ethernet OR to my iphone's personal hotspot. I've tried going to network settings, selecting the network from the list and entering the password. I get a connection timeout. After repeated attempts, it connects perhaps 1 out of 20 times. What is going on??? Apple wants $60.00 to attempt to help. That *****.

Hi, Tinto4.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Troubleshooting Wi-Fi network issues can be difficult due to various configurations, hardware and settings. Start with a simple power cycle of your router and test the connection. I would then recommend going through the article below and make sure all firmware updates have been processed along with the settings adjusted for optimized performance.

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.

MacBook Pro won't connect to the internet after standby

Hallo all,
I have the following strange problem with my macbook pro:
- after going in stand by and returning in operating mode the mac won't connect to the internet, I have to follow the procedure in order to retry to connect but It does'not work. Go in network preferences, try to change the DNS, use and not use DHCP and so on but nothing change.
- Mac is working in ethernet, I can see other macs and pcs
- When I change the network to connect, same problem even if I turn off the mac.
I have the same problem with Iphone !!!!
I have linksys router and modem but I think that the reason could be a setting in mac.
Anyone can help me???

I tried re-installing Mountain Lion 10.8.3 but it didn´t help.
Assuming your can access email ok ?
First, install the OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo)
Then restart your Mac. That will reinstall any missing system files.
Then try Safari.

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.
Brian
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.

My iMac won't connect to my network

My iMac won't connect to the internet anymore. I can only get internet connection through someone elses network.
It connected okay to my network when I first plugged it in. Everything was coming up roses and such. I'm thinking though it might have something to do with my pc. I gave my mom my pc and cleaned off everything. After re-installing the drivers, programs, and re-installing the wireless info on the pc, my mac won't connect to the network
There is a password for connecting to the network a wep 128. But my mac keeps telling me the password is wrong. And the only way to connect to the interent for me is via the Dlink connection.
We have a Linksys Wireless Router (WRT54G)
My mom has windows XP with wireless capability
My mac has the airport extreme already in the computer
I'm sure the problem is something really simple and minor and that I will kick myself for not figuring it out. :S
But any help would be great
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

The only other connection I get is through a unsecured dlink.
I tried using network assistant to get on the linksys network but when I put in the password for it I keep getting a message that says invalid.

G5 Gigabyte Built-in Network Adapter won't connect at 1000

Built-in ethernet adapter will not connect to DLink Gigabyte switch even with a known-good cable. My other G5 connects fine to the switch in the same port. Adapter connects fine to 100mb Linksys switch. Really looks like a driver problem. Is there an updated driver for the built-in adapter? Or is there another solution?
Thanks

adkcomputerguy-
Greetings and welcome to the Apple boards.
It won't connect at all or just at 1000T? Could be a driver but I would suspect the cable. Are you connecting directly to the switch?
Have you ever been able to use this machine at gig speed? What happens if you connect the two G5's directly and make them their own network without a switch?
