Router No Asking For Username/Password

Having just upgraded from a WRT54G to a E2500 all I can say is that I'm disappointed with Cisco.
Having spent a few hours yesterday trying to resolve issues via Live Chat (ID 130105-001270 & 130105-002081) and spending more time today - I'm truly at wits end. I consider myself pretty knowledgeable with computers and networking.
I'm not sure if anyone from Cisco's Tech staff sees these posts but I don't know where else to "complain" in hopes that the next software/firmware update resolves these problem(s).
The first is my router's setup screens are totally open when using my desktop. The desktop is hardwired to the router and has the Cisco Connect software installed. I open the Cisco software and go to advanced settings. There I'm shown what my router's name is and its password. This is really strange - why would you wish to display this information PRIOR to requesting usename and password? However, once there you can go right into the setup screens by clicking OK.
I have also entered these screens directly without being prompted for username/password by using 192.168.1.1 or myrouter.local via Internet Explorer 8 or Google Chrome. At other times I am denied access because IE cannot display page.
I'm concerned because I can hide the Cisco Connect software however, anyone that uses my desktop has full access to my router via the web or Cisco Connect.
The second issue is that the password to enter the router and allow access to the internet IS THE SAME! When I had my WRT54G running I had one password (8 alpha characters) to enter setup screens. There was a router generated, 16 alpha/numeric character, password to allow outside devices such as laptops, TVs and game consoles access to the internet. When I set this router up I installed the 16 character password originally used so my laptop and Wii could connect without having to fool around with their settings. Everything was fine until I went into administration and changed the password to my old 8 character one. That is when I found out that the router uses this password setting under administration to control access to the internet AND access to the router settings!
I have uninstalled and reinstalled IE 8. I have ensured that my browser's history and caches are clear which they do when I shut IE down. I'm running Windows XP service pack 3 with the "proper" anti-virus and anti-malware software. My system is up-to-date.
I have ensured that the router is running the latest firmware 1.0.05 build 2 and software 1.4.11299.0.
I have seen other posts suggesting the removal of Cisco Connect however, I feel that this is a bandaid solution.
I'm not professing to be a router technician however, I "feel" the problem might be the fact that the password issue is the problem. Since the same one is being used for both accessing the router and having the router grant access to the net, my desktop is allowed to access the setup screens without being prompted for username and password.
Again I hope SOMEONE from Cisco sees this and investigates.
Thanks for allowing me to "rant".
Dave

Thank you zee29 for the reply however, when I change the router password under administration I'm presented with a screen that says the router's password has been changed on my next Cisco Connect startup. I click OK and then I'm presented with a screen that says BOTH passwords must be the same. This is crazy. My router is not secure on my desktop. Anyone who uses my desktop and wants to "fish" around can enter my router's settings without being presented with a password prompt.
And I'm still presented with the problem of connecting via 192.168.1.1. or myrouter.local using IE 8 in which a "page cannot be displayed" message appears. I can log in via Google Chrome however, once I enter the username and password once I'm able to access router without being prompted. The network isn't totally secure.
I have seen other posts where these Cisco routers are having "problems" when using IE. It would seem to me that Cisco would want to rectify this situation. Its not like I'm running a beta operating system that Cisco is not aware of. I'm running an XP system that is totally updated.
I've been running Linksys/Cisco routers for years and have never had these problems. If these "problems" continues I will have no choice but to purchase a router from another company such as Netgear and say goodbye to Cisco.
I want and need a SECURE network.

SDK Trunk. Update my local copy has started asking for username/password

SDK Trunk. Update my local copy has started asking for username/password
these has been happening on and off for a few days now.
when i click update on my local copy of the sdk ready to do my morning build I've started to be asked for a username and password. I do have a username and password for sandbox and patching etc but entering this has no effect.
are there times of day when the trunk is locked or something like that? This is not happening all the time but it is several times a day.
has anyone any idea why this is happening
Ive don e all the usual things, clean my local version, grabbed a totally new version etc
im on windows using TortoiseSVN(which is always using a current build)
cheers
g

Ive had this same issue on and off across all the open source svn
im yet to find any pattern apart from the fact that the auth error only ever shows the root of the svn request.
Ie http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/
Now im not sure if thats just the way the reporting ui works of if it indicates that somewhere in the update it starts to trigger the url rot and thats where the auth request gets triggered. This may be total nonsense. Just a thought.

Keeps asking for username password proxy server

When i start Firefox 8 at work, Firefox keeps asking for username and password. I have fild in the network settings to not use a proxyserver for: 150.0.*;12.0.*.
Now the startpage of Firefox is our ourIntranet which is: http://ourintranet (which has a ip example: 150.0.2.3
So what i want to do is: use proxy except for this ip: xxxxxxxx, because this ip is http:\\ourintranet
Now i cannot go to http:\\ourintranet because he keeps asking for password.

I'm not sure why it's not working. I think Firefox looks in the hosts file and then the configured/automatic DNS server for address resolution, in that order. To specify otherwise (for eg. a proxy for address resolution) the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Network.proxy.socks_remote_dns network.proxy.socks_remote_dns] in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config] has to be set to true.
You can also check in a [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles new profile]. A new profile would have the default settings and wouldn't usually have any installed extensions and would be clean. You can try then try the proxy settings.
The 150.0.2.0/24 should work (24 bits for the network with 254 addresses - http://www.subnet-calculator.com/cidr.php) unless perhaps the network is super-netted in which case you can also try the supernet prefix instead of /24.

WRT120N - error 323, asking for username & password

hi, I just got a brand new linksys wrt120n router for my new computer. but no matter how I try to connect wireless to the internet, I get an "error 323", where it asks for a usename and a password??? I have no such codes! what can i do??
greetings from denmark, carsten
(Mod note: Title edited for guidelines compliance)

It sounds like you have a PPPoE connection. Anyway, when you connect your computer directly to the router, does it ask you for a username and password?
EDIT: I think you are getting that error from Linksys software, aren't you?

How do I use my WET54g with a wireless system that asks for username & password

Hotels and other systems let you use theiur wireless for a fee. You go onto your wireless laptop, and it automatically goes to a page where you pay and sign up (or it asks for a username and password), once that is done, you can use the network.
How do I allow my WET54g to know this password information, and work on the network?
thanks
Michael

The WET54g allows you to accept a wireless signal and connect it to a wired hub. I want to intercept the wireless signal and use it on my hub.
I know I can use one computer if I connect to the signal using my laptop's wireless card, but I want the WET54g to accept the signal.
For example, currently at my office, I use the WET54g to intercept a wireless signal from the front of my building, to the back of my building about 300ft away (this way I didnt have to run wires). The WET54g then is hooked up to a hub/switch where I have a bunch of other computers/servers. Everything from the front of my building and back of the building are joined using this WET54g. The WET54g is set up to find the signal from the front of my building, and therefore it works fine.
I want to use the hotel signal, the same way, except there is no way to enter in the username/password into the WET54g, or maybe there is.. Does this make sense to you?

Browser asking for Username/Password

I have a website, designed in iWeb 09, and hosted using MobileMe. This site is my 2nd, so I have forwarded the domain.
I have heard from some people that when they enter the web address, the browser is asking for my MobileMe username and password.
Can someone please tell me what I need to do to allow visitors to my site?
Thank you.

I usually solve problems by elimination, not by adding more problems.
First there's domainname # 1 :
http://www.fromthelipsofmymind.com has CNAME to web.me.com (has password)
Then there's # 2 :
http://www.amyandmichaeltententen.com which has a CNAME to web.me.com
Then there's # 3 :
http://amyandmichaeltententen.com which URL forward to http://www.amyandmichaeltententen.com/etb/Welcome.html
How many MobileMe accounts have you?
One? Two?
If one then you can only have one domainname as a Personal Domain.
The other one is just hanging there. Probably the one with the password.
If two, then configure each MobileMe account for each domainname.
Note that making a mess of your domainnames is not an iWeb issue. Go where the problem is and solve it : where you host your domainnames.
Start from scratch and then do it right. In other words : do not want too much if you can't handle the technology. Keep it simple.
Even I would get confused.
BTW, here's how I do it : http://www.wyodor.net/Domain/ . One domainname, multiple results:
http://wyodor.net/ (A Record to MS Business Live)
http://www.wyodor.net/ (A Record to MobileMe)
http://me.wyodor.net/ (CNAME to MobileMe)
http://google.wyodor.net/ (A record to Google)
http://home.wyodor.net/ (A Record to my computer at home)

Can't connect to Internet - window asks for username/password

Turned on my iMac today, clicked on Safari and the window opened with address bar saying it was my home page (google). However, favicon is a D in a blue star with red star bursts. The window (not a popup) asks for my Internet Service Provider username and password in order to connect to the Internet. It even gives the correct tech phone # to my ISP and their logo. I did not enter my info but called the isp and they do not know what it is. The two other computers in my house, a PC connected via wire and an iBook G4 connected via AirPort, work fine.
The iMac will not go to any other address in Safari or Firefox, though it will display the address (w. D favicon) in the address bar. Mail will not download email messages from Gmail, either. It says the connection to the server timed out. iTunes can't access the Store and says make sure your network connection is active. Everything was fine when I shut the iMac down on Monday. :0(
Page Source info (in both Safari and Firefox) lists a Javascript with the e-mail [email protected] and Web site http://redrival.com/eak
What is wrong?? It is a virus or malware or something? HELP!
iMac 10.4.11 Safari 3.2.1 connected via AirPort
Thank you for any ideas... tech support at the ISP has never seen anything like this and was zero help.

That may, of course, be a totally different problem. You might have a look in System Preferences > Network. In the Advanced section, under Airport, you can deselect any networks listed there (as well as some other useful changes). It may be that it recognised that network and somehow joined.
I would not worry about viruses on Macs, at least not yet (the future, etc.), but there IS malware like Trojans, and it is possible for people to break into a computer with some help. Make sure the Firewall is on (Security preferences) and that your passwords are strong. A lot of people -- and I am one -- think it is better to work in a User account and leave the Admin account alone, except for maintenance and installing software. That gives a bit more protection as you cannot install stuff in the User account without the Admin password -- gives you a second or so to think, at least.

Is it possible to have an AP that doesn't ask for username & password?

Hi,
I have been asked to take some APs to factory default and leave them without username & password.
I don't have the devices with me at the moment and I don't remember if that is possible, as long as I remember when you take them to factory default the username and passwords are set to Cisco. But actually I need to leave them without username and password.
By the way the APs are AIR-LAP1242!
Any help is much appreciated.

So in conclusion it is possible, right?
Yes and no. Yes, it's possible. No, it's not possible just by simply doing a factory default/factory reset. This solution is a two-step process.
After leaving the AP whithout user/pass when I Telnet/SSH the IP address of the AP, I won't be prompt to type username/password, right?
Again, yes and no. Yes, you WON'T be prompted. NO, you CANNOT remote into a Cisco appliance (Telnet or SSH) UNLESS you have a username and password.

Premium podcast continues to ask for username/password

I subscribe to a paid podcast. The username/password prompt has a "Remember password" check box. Even with this box checked the username/password prompt re-appears each time I download this podcast.
Is there a setting that will keep the username/password prompt from popping up each time I download this podcast?
Thank you,
Dana

there is no other real way but to use that checkbox
you should also make sure that you have the latest version of itunes or if you already have the latest version of itunes you could just try reinstalling it

Asking for username & password when trying to download podcast

i am trying to download a new podcast to which I have been subscribing for the last year or so and it is asking me for a username and password. I have just recently updated my username for my ADSL login and am not sure whether this would be the reason.

This would be your admin account password. You must set one.

R Jones I have the same problem. Running Windows-ME. Oracle9i installs without any complaints.
I bypassed all configuration setup because it was 'supposedly' optional and because
I had no idea of what to enter in many fields. When I fire-up SQL-plus, a login window
pops up asking for username, password, and hoststring. I tried predefined login/password
combinations SYSTEM/MANAGER and SCOTT/TIGER, but entered no host string,
and get an oracle error message 'protocol adapter error'.
If I bypass the login by entering command line string 'sqlplus.exe /NOLOG', I get
oracle error message 'not connected' whenever I try to execute an SQL statement.
What am I missing in my configuration setup, OR is there an incompatibility with Windows-ME ?

Wifi asks for username AND password for iPhone

Hi!
So I have moved into a new apartment, and when my iPhone finds the router and tries to log on, it asks for a username AND a password. When I use my Macbook, it just asks for a password, which I enter and get no further problems with.
I have tried entering the router's details manually using the 'Other' feature in the Wifi settings, and still cannot log on (either with WPA or WPA2).
Any idea what's going on here? No one else I know of has this problem!
Thanks!

RE1000 asks for username and password

I have the RE1000 installed as extender for my WRT110 router. I was told by Linksys live chat tech that this would be suitable for our home network. When in the family room or on patio (where I have weak WiFi usually), the Extender shows on my iPad in the list of available WIFI and has excellent icon (the router usually has one or two bars and goes in and out).
When I try to access the Extender on my iPad, it asks for username and password but will not take it. Should I run setup again or what?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

in setting up the range extender, it will give you the option to connect to your network. so essentially, you will not have to define/ specify the settings manually. the purpose of the range extender is to extend the signal of the main network, not create a separate network of its own.
i suggest that you RESET the range extender and run the setup wizard again. make sure to connect the device to your network. once the devices have synced up, you will be able to fully utilize this device.
