Linksys E3000 Connectivity Problems

I have a new Linksys E3000, 2 wired disktops (1 windows 7, 1 windows vista), 2 wireless laptops (both windows Vista), whenever the computers power down into sleep mode and are woke up, I have lost my connections to the router and I am forced to restart the computer. I've been told by one person that this is a problem with vista and windows 7, but wouldn't that have been a problem with my old router also?
any Ideas would be great, thanks.

At first I was having this problem with all the computers, I went into the Contro Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Manage Wireless Networks > (double clicked the router name) - when (router name Wireless Network properties box opened) > checked boxs Connected automatically when this network is in range (was already checked), Connect even if the network is not broadcasting and Enable intel connection settings (both of which were not already checked but are now).
After doing this I have not had a problem with the Laptops connecting. Both are running windows vista. I cannot find this setting in my Windows 7 machine so I tried simply setting my desktop to never go to sleep. this didn't fix the problem.
the adapter for the destop is Intel(R) 82578DC Gigabit Network Connetion.
I am using the Cisco connection software that came with the router.

Linksys wifi connection problem

I have a strange issue here. I cannot connect to any OPEN linksys wifi router. If the router useses WPA or WPA2 I can connect without prboblem. I've tried it with my home linksys router and I get the same results. I used to be able to connect to any OPEN linksys wifi without problem. It suddenly stop working and now I am not able to connect to any linksys OPEN wifi anymore. Other branded OPEN wifi connections (no problem)
Is there any "*.plist" file(s) that I can delete and reset the airport back to default ? This happen before the 10.4.8 update. Even after the 10.4.8 update, I still having the same problem.

What is the Model no of the Router ?
Are you able to go online with another wireless computer ?
Try to lower down the security to WPA or WEP then,try to connect the wireless network.If still doesn't work then,upgrade the router's firmware and reconfigure it...

Linksys WRT54G Connection Problem

I purchased this modem yesterday as i was not able to get my Belkin Pre-N connected so opted to try a different one. The problem is with the desktop, it is hard wired into the router i get IP, Subnet,Gateway and DNS server information but it will not connect to the internet. It's the exact same thing as what the Belkin was doing so i doubt it's a router problem but what do i know. Now if i connect directly to the Linksys Workgroup Switch it works fine. I live in a rural area and wireless with a phone pole and antenna is the only option, so i don't have a modem it's a switch in the house. If i plug directly in the switch all works fine but as soon as i introduce the router nothing works, like i said all info is present but won't connect online. I am having the exact same issue with the wireless laptop as well. Can anyone help?? This is getting so frustrating all i really want is the wireless to work, i can always plug the desktop back in the switch if need be but if i get one or the other working i can use the router straight up. If this helps, when i ping an IP i get results when i ping addresses i get errors which would mean a DNS issue but i'm using the same DNS servers my ISP uses. 2 Modems same problem. Thanks.

First, let me make sure I have this straight: Your phone company has a wireless device outside on a telephone pole. The signal from the device on the telephone pole enters your home on a wire. The wire goes to the Linksys Workgroup 5 port switch. The switch is connected by wires to two different computers. You can get onto the internet on both wired computers at the same time. You would like to have internet on one wired computer and one wireless computer inside your home. Did I get this right?
If so, then it still sounds like the telephone company has a modem/router outside on the telephone pole. In this case, you would probably need just a WAP (wireless access point), and not a router, connected to the switch. As I mentioned before, it might be possible to convert your WRT54G into a WAP, but I am not certain about this.
One more thing. Doesn't your phone company have a web site with information on how to connect to their system and set up wireless inside your home? Its hard to believe that you are the first person in your area trying to set up wireless internet inside your home!

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.

Connecting Linksys E3000 to DIRECTV DVR

I want to setup a hardwired connection between my Linksys E3000 router and a DIRECTV DVR. I have the most recent firmware on my router. I have checked the ethernet cable and it is good. The lights on the ethernet port on the DVR light up when I have the DRV and router connecter. The DVR gives me an error message when I try to connect. Some other posts have suggest setting a static IP on the DIRECTV DVR using the following settings:
IP Address : 192.168.1.10
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1
DNS : 192.168.1.1
I tried this and still get an error message so I am going to call DIRECTV. Before I do call I would like to know if these are the correct settings for a Static IP?

This is the screen displayed by the DVR is
     IP Address:           192.168.1.10      OK
     Subnet Mask:        255.255.255.0   OK
     Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1        OK
     DNS:                      75.75.75.75       OK
     Network: Coax not connected (9)
     Internet: Not connected (9)
     Result Code: 86-748
The DNS number is different than that in my original posting because I typed the wrong value in that posting. The DNS number here is the actual value I entered when trying to create the static IP.

Airport express 802.11b doesn't connect to Linksys E3000

airport express 802.11b doesn't connect to Linksys E3000
Linksys told tha de the device does not support WPA security
BUT
the device has capability to WPA and it was working on Linksys WRT 310n v2
is out there an solution?

If you have tried numerous default resets, then the Express is defective. Normally, it displays a solid amber light...or no light.... when an internal component fails, but I've seen the solid green as well.
If it's in warranty, Apple will replace the device.
If it's not....and you want to try a real longshot....carefully saw open the case along the center seam to open up the device. You might get really lucky and find something obvious like a connector that has come loose, or something similar.

Unable to connect to Linksys E3000 when set to 5GHz "N" only Network mode

I've not been able to connect to my to Linksys E3000 when set to 5GHz "N" only Network mode. Connections to the 5GHz can only be done in mixed mode. I do not need to have A-Mode enabled, so I do not wish to use mixed.

Cisco Linksys E3000 - Open DNS Error

I just purchased a Cisco Linksys E3000 and got it set up pretty much the way I want it. My only remaining problem is I wish to used Open DNS as my DNS server. On Line chat support says,"Please access router set up. Under the set up tab you will see the option for DNS1 and DNS2 please change it to 208.87.222 & 208.67.220 and save settings". I replied"I am on the basic set up page and currently I see Static DNS 1 thru 3 which are currently all zeros is that where you want me to put the new DNS numbers?"
I made the changes as directed, saved and also flushed the DNS cache in Windows and in Firefox, rebooted and everything worked great.
The problem is if the computer goes to sleep or is shut down when it restarts it cannot find the DNS server! What am I missing?
Thanks

Thanks for your help. This one really has me baffled
As you can see below the static DNS is set to 3 adddresses for Open DNS and everthing works fine.untill either the computer goes to sllep or is shut down. Then the router can no longer locate a DNS server. The only way I can find to get everything working again is to zero out the address for Open DNS and reboot the router which somehow reestablises the DNS servers as:
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . 156.154.119.11
                                       156.154.129.11
                                       192.168.1.1
You can also this below and I hope you have some idea of what is happening. I never had this problem before with any other routers on this system.
Thanks,

I can't get to a specific website - Linksys E3000

Hello,
I have a Linksys E3000 and everything is working fine...until one day this last week. A website I go to all the time stopped working. The website is Martini in the Morning, www.martiniinthemorning.com. It's a great internet radio station. I listen to the station via other resoures, but I can't get to the website which has lots of features I use.
The specifics are that from any of the computers connected to our network, I can't reach the site. When I plug a computer directly into the Comcast modem, I can reach the site. I have changed nothing that I am conscious of and everything was working until Monday of this last week.
I thought it wasn't making it out of the router, but a TRACERT shows that I am. I have a desktop running Vista, 2 laptops running XP Pro, an iPad and none of them can connect to that site. My iPhone can't connect when it's on the network, but when it's on 3G, it can.
I know someone may ask me to attach the TRACERT listings, so here they are. I appreciate any and all suggestions.
Regards,
Irvin Johnson, Vancouver, WA

brickmonkey,
Thank you for your help. 1365 in the MTU did resolve the problem. I had fears my ip address had been banned for eternity ;-)
I power cycled the router, but did not reset to factory defaults and reconfigure. I think as long as it holds, I will leave well enough alone. One thing I don't understand is that I had it set to the default setting of 1500 since I bought the modem and it quit working last Tuesday. BUT.......... I've been in technology long enough (and retired from it now) that I know that things change and life happens.
Thank you brickmonkey and everyone else that offered help. I will mark it closed

Linksys E3000 Port Flooding with Uverse DVR (IPTV)

I spent days trying to get a wireless router to work with my Uverse DVR. I have a router-behind-router configuration (ignoring the WAN port of the router & using it effectively as a switch) because my Uverse RG is in a remote section of the house and I have a CAT5 over to our entertainment room where I need two services: Uverse DVR and wireless network. I did exhaustive research and testing. The wireless router gave fantastic wireless performance, but as soon as I turned on the DVR, the ports would flood and the wireless network would become inactive. I could use the wireless network or watch TV, but not both at the same time. My router was a CISCO Linksys E3000 and I tried every type of tweak and configuration. I also tried two other Linksys routers I own (WRT610N & WRT54G) with the exact same results. I purchased a Netgear WNDR3700. By the technical specs, the E3000 and the WNDR3700 should be nearly identical. I quickly configured the Netgear WNDR3700 in the same exact router-behind-router configuration and it worked like a charm. I didn't need to any special configuration of DMZ, QOS or anything else on the Netgear. Other than the static IP for the router-behind-router, it was a plain vanilla configuration and set-up.
If anyone knows why the Linksys E3000 does not work, I would be curious to know, but it does not matter since my Netgear is working like a charm. I would also like to note that CISCO has been very helpful, but these things can be quite complex.

Hey kturner
I allmost have the same configuration like you(router behind router, - 1. router D-link 624, 2. router E3000.
The connection is as follows: ADSL to 1. router, cableconnecting switchport to 2. router (ADSL internet in) with first router
set to route LAN to LAN which gives an address on 2. router(E3000) 192.168.0.96 as in adress from the 1. router.
The E3000 then sets up it's own routingtable vithout any problem.
On the configurationspage you have to fill in at least the DNS 1. and if you haveallso DNS 2.
I've set my QoS via mac-address to my DVR and TV to high.
As both my TV and DVR is Samsung I had the problem with my TV and Samsungs Wireles Link System until
I turned it off.
And now it's all working: Streaming video from the HD on E3000
Hope itøs helpfull and god luck

How do I set-up Linksys E3000 with Actiontec MI424WR

Hi,
I recently purchased a Linksys E3000 so that I could use it as my primary router instead of the Actiontec MI424WR. I want to use the Wireless N functionality of the new router since the MI424WR does not support that.
I've researched many forums and have attempted many changes. But, it seems that the instructions available online are geared towards a different FiOS connection than what I have. There were details about setting up the MI424WR as a bridge, ect, but I could not get any to work.
My Actiontec MI424WR is connected via a coaxial cable, I know there are others connected via a CAT5 cable. I've also read about VOD or CableTV service being disrupted by changing the settings on the Actiontec MI424WR, but I don't think that is the case with my service. This has been part of my confusion with everything I've read.
Could someone please explain to me, in simple terms, how I can get my Linksys E3000 set-up to work as my primary wireless router?
Thank you in advance,
Solved!

What revision of the Actiontec do you have?
Do you have FIOS-TV? Your post is not clear about that.
Is it practical for you to run cat5 to the ONT?
If you want to keep the coax WAN connection, then you must bridge the Actiontec in order for your router to be primary.
If you can switch to a cat5 WAN connection, then you can connect your router as primary with the Actiontec behind it as a MOCA LAN bridge. You will not lose VOD, guide data or widgets. Remote DVR and on-screen caller-id will not function properly if your router is primary.
See this FAQ for different ways you can connect your router.

10.4.5 connection problems

I recently upgraded to 10.4.5. When I used 10.3.9 my wireless connection was fast and dependable. Since my upgrade my connection and download speeds are a tenth of what they were using 10.3.9. Looking through these posts I see lots of people are experiencing connectivity problems with 10.4.5. I am almost ready to back up, reformat and go back to 10.3.9. Maybe somebody has some suggestions. My setup is as follows:
1) Cable modem connected to a Linksys Wireless G Access Point.
2) Third party (Buffalo) Wireless G card in the G4 (worked great with 10.3.9).
3) Unencrypted wireless network (my house is far enough from the neighbors that security isn't really a concern).
4) 2 windows computers connected via ethernet cables to the access point.
5) 1 windows computer with a wireless G USB adapter.
6) Wireless bridge connecting game consoles.
Thanks,
Rick

I have upgraded my network to 10.4.5 and have not experieced any issues with my ibook and my collegues powerbook which connect wirelessly.
I have a cable modem connected to a linksys wifi router without any issues.
However I am not using 3rd party wireless cards. It would sound like the airport driver that ran your card worked better for you under 10.3.9. Rather than revert your OS back to 10.3.9 have you considered using the older airport driver?
There are 2 airport kernel extensions on my 10.4.5 system
/System/Library/AppleAirport.kext
/System/Library/AppleAirport2.kext
You could use a utility such as pacifist to extract the airport.kexts from your panther disk and replace them in your current OS.
This hack may or may not work, I have not tried it myself. I dont endorse hacking systems other than my own or provide a guarantee it will work it is just an idea. So be sure to make a backup of your original extensions.

Airport Express and WPA2 on Linksys E3000 Router

I'm running MS Windows Vista. I have a Linksys E3000 router and an Airport Express both with updated firmware.
I have segregated my wireless network: My Xbox is on the N-speed band by itself and everything else, including my iPhone 4, is on the g-speed band.
My wireless network works with full Internet access but I can't connect my Airport Express to it. I need help connecting my AE to my existing wireless network so I can stream iTunes music from my PC to the AE.
According to this link: http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/specs.html "When joining an existing wireless network, AirPort Express supports only WPA-Personal. WPA2 requires a Mac computer with an AirPort Extreme Card and Mac OS X v10.3 or later"
So I went to my router settings and set up my g-speed band for "WPA-Personal." But when I do that, my g-speed band ceases to work. I cannot connect my iPhone 4 to it and my iPhone has no trouble connecting when the security is set for "WPA2-Personal".
The Aiport Utility (v 5.5.1) will not detect the AE wirelessly. When I connect the AE via ethernet to the router, I can configure it with Aiport Utility and it will stream iTunes music over the wireline network but then when I disconnect it, I can't detect it wirelessly. I've tried using the setup wizard and the manual setup. I've also reset the AE to it's factory settings and started again with no luck.
I've spent hours trying different settings and I am not sure how to proceed. Please provide any feedback you may have.

Most likely you entered the password a year ago when you first set up the AirPort Express (AX) and you checked the option to store the password in your keychain. If you do that, the Mac will never ask you for the password again.
Open Keychain Access and see if you have an item with the name of your wireless network.

Linking Cisco Linksys E3000 uPnP media server to non uPnP Home Theater system

Hi,
I have a Cisco Linksys E3000 Wireless Router. My home theater system does not have uPnP capabilities. That is it doesn't have the uPnP client like a PS3 or a Wii.
Is there a uPnP client that I can buy for the specific purpose of connecting to my home theater system via ethernet.
The resulting connection graph will be as follows: NAS (via USB) to E3000, E3000 to uPnP client (using ethernet), uPnP client to Home Theater system using audio in or HDMI.
Thanks for your help!

If your Home Theater system has Ethernet port then I think you can try wireless bridge ( WET610N ) to make it wireless.

LinkSys e3000: Poor wireless signal

Hi,
I have configured a new LinkSys e3000 as as wireless router in our house.
I have left the configuration as default (only secured it and turned on the DHCP server).
I have only turned on the 2,4 GHz network ( because the 5GH had an even shorter range).
Everything works and all my devices can connect to the router and access the internet.
However i find the singnal strenght of the router to be very poor.
Already in the next room it drops to 60%. And in some rooms on the 1st floor the signal drops completly.
This happens not even 20m away from the router in an ordinary "family house".
Is there a setting somewhere which could increase the signal strength ?
I noticed that the router has no antenna, can one be bought and attached so the signal increases ?
The firmware version is 1.0.02 and i found a newer ony on your web 1.0.03. Would it help to upgrade to it ?
Any onther ideas how to improve the signal strength ?
Thank you in advance
Hynek

There are built in antennas for this router.
Connect the computer to the router and open the setup page of the router.
Go to the wireless tab and change the Wireless channel to 11. Save the settings.
Click on Advanced wireless settings sub tab. Change the Beacon interval to 75, RTS threshold to 2307 and fragmentation threshold to 2306. Save the settings.
See if that helps you.
You can also try to upgrade the firmware on your router.
Connect the computer with the Ethernet cable to the router. Download the latest firmware from Linksys website and save it on your computer. Open the setup page of the router. Click on Administration tab and go to Firmware upgrade sub tab. Browse the firmware file that you have already downloaded and upgrade it on your router.
After upgrading the firmware on the router, it is recommended that you should reset the router and reconfigure it. Press and hold the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. Release the reset button and wait for 10 seconds. Power cycle the router and reconfigure it.
