Setup e2500 router

Need help with setup for e2500 router to dsl internet. Keep getting error msg and stops setup process

What is the operating system of your computer? If the setup cd will not work, then take it out and proceed in configuring the router manually. But first reset the router for 10 seconds then powercycle it then check the link below on how to setup the router for DSL connection.

  • How to load Cisco E2500 router software to Mountain Lion

    I have a MacBook Pro.  After struggling with a setup of a new Cisco E2500 router, I discovered the cd's software was incompatible with Mountain Lion.  I understand there was a Cisco software update but the update isn't available for the 2500 router.  I found the router's IP address.  It's 192.168.1.1.  Can anyone tell me - in plain English - if I can install the software without the cd.  Please tell me how in the same plain English. I did see a forum mention that if one does use the IP address, one should not change the factory provided ID and password.  Since both provided ID and password are "admin", and if the comment is true, then that won't work because it's as good as leaving the router unlocked. Does anyone know if the comment is true?

    Router setup is not my forte; however, my instinct tells me that you will need to set it up - the other question is (and, again, not my forte): my ISP allows me to have one router. If I want another, I have to set up the first one as a "gateway" to send the signal to the second one (essentially as an extender which you said did not work). You might want to check with your ISP (the building internet provider) on how to get to routers working and/or someone with networking expertise may reply here (I can't tell from your post category, but there is a subcategory in the Mountain Lion forum specifically for networking problems:)

  • Adding a bridge to a Linksys E2500 router

    Hi All, I have a simple configuration. E2500 using 2.x ghz N-only configuration. The router in in my office. I want to extend the same network ssid by adding another router in the kitchen, on the other side of the house. I haven't purchased the other router yet so I am looking for suggestions on a good one and how to do it. Any advise? Thanks in advance

    As you mentioned in your post that you would like to use modem/router with E2500 as WiFi. But that is not possible with the Linksys router. If you are planning to setup your Router in a Repeater Mode or in a Bridge Mode then it will not work. The Router can only work in an Access point mode, where it will only Transmit the Wireless Signals to your Computers.
    So,if you need any other device which can work as WiFi then you can go for WET610N or WES610N in combination with WAP610N.

  • Help for my new E2500 router port forwarding

    My home web hosting used to work. But because of changing ISP from Verizon to TWC, TWC gave me a modem-router and I bought my own Linksys E2500 router. Both Verizon and TWC services I subscribed are Dynamic IP. I use a third party to redirect the web traffic to my home.
    TWC gave me a simple modem-router in a box. Input is coax and outputs are 4 ethernet ports. I use one of the 4 ethernet outputs of the TWC box to connect to the internet ethernet input port of the E2500. All my wire and wireless devices are now feeding off the E2500. All wireless and wired devices work and can browse internet through the E2500.
    I have assigned one computer as the web server and set the internal IP addess of this computer as 192.168.1.128. This is the same for the setup with Verizon before.
    I loaded the CD came with the E2500 router and can see the LAN 192.168.1.128.
    My problem starts from here, I do not know how to set the port in E2500 to make the web traffic to 192.168.1.128
    1. Using the E2500 CD, I click to "APPLICATION AND GAMING", then "SINGLE PORT FORWARDING". under the APPLICATION NAME, I select one of the box to HTTP and type in 128 under "TO IP ADDRESS". I then click ENABLED, then "save settings" . The 192.168.1 is fixed in this window, I can only type 128.
    This does not work. I can browse internet but cannot access my website from any machines using domain name.
    Then I tried:
    2. with item 1 above, I continued to do SETUP>>BASIC SETUP>>DHCP RESEVERSATION. I can see the compute/sever name and the 192.168.1.128. I then click the "select" and save the client.
    I restarted the computer/server, I unplug and plug the E2500 power. I check the server internal IP address and it is still the same. But I just cannot browse to my website. I can browse other places.
    Any idea of what is wrong on my doing? Please help.

    Your modem is a router. Any incoming internet requests end at the modem/router. You have to configure port forwarding on the modem/router first before the E2500 will see anything incoming from the internet.
    Alternatives:
    1. Set the modem/router into "bridge" mode which turns it into a simple modem. Then you can connect directly to the internet with your E2500.
    2. Set up the E2500 as simple access point and keep the modem/router as your main and only router. Then all forwarding is done on the modem/router.

  • Question about VPN connections on a E2500 router

    Hello,
    I am working with vpn setups for the first time, so I have some questions I would really appriciate some help with. I would like to be able to connect to a computer on a home network through a linksys E2500 router. I have found alot of documentation on connecting to an external vpn from a computer on the lan side of the router, but nothing on connecting from the outside in. The router does have a static ip address with my internet provider, so I can contact the router from the outside. But makeing the connection to the computer on the other side of the router is where I am missing something or I dont realize that it is not possible. On the lan side I am using DHCP to assign the address to the computer I want to connect to. Perhaps I need to make it have a static address also? I realize that when I configure the connection from the outside that I need to direct the connection to the remote computer in some way, unless vpn connections are fully passed through the router and the connection issue I am haveing is with the "inside" computer.
    Other info:
    I am using windows 7 for the vpn access
    Thank you in advance for your help.

  • Can't connect with modem through e2500 router

    I have an old Speedstream 5100 modem hooked to my e2500 router. Everything works well except if for some reason my modem disconnects from ISP I can not log into it through the route to reconnect it. I must plug a direct cable into modem from computer run connect script then plug modem back into router all is fine again.
    Any ideas why connecting to modem through router is blocked?

    My Speedstream only has one Ethernet connection so I didn't realize that it looked like a router to the local network. I changed the mode to bridge on the Speedstream and setup PPoE on e2500 and reconnected to ISP on e2500 setup screen. That may solve the problem of reconnecting since now it is managed on the e2500.
    One thing I now see is since I left the modem IP set to 192.168.0.X I can't get to it at all through the e2500. Is that because my DHCP in e2500 is setup with 192.168.1.X IP range so modem isn't addressed in my network? If I hook directly to Speedstream and change IP to 192.168.1.X will it become visible on local network?
    You cannot access the modem anymore while you have an active PPPoE connection. For PPPoE the E2500 won't need an IP address from the modem thus it doesn't do DHCP on the WAN port and thus it never sees it. When you try to access 192.168.0.* addresses the E2500 will route it through the PPP tunnel to the ISP.
    If you hook your computer directly to the SpeedStream it should automatically pick up a DHCP address (assuming the computer is still running on DHCP and not with a static IP and the SpeedStream does not automatically disable the DHCP server in bridge mode). If you have set up a static IP on the computer you have to change the IP address to a 192.168.0.* address.

  • Range not good on my e2500 router

    Range is not good for my E2500 router. My house is on one level and spread out quite a bit. Have the router near my main computer. If I take my laptop or Iphone into my bedroom (about 70 feet away-thru 3 interior walls), I have no wi-fi. If I put the router in the middle of the attic, will my signal improve?  As an alternative, is there an external antenna that I can attach to the E2500, that will have better db gain than the built-in one?.  Thanks.  Dave.

    Thanks for the info. I did change to channel 11 and that helped a bit. I still need to get the router more centralized and higher. I currently have it on the desk next to the computer.  I can get it higher by putting it in a bookshelf above the PC. I had heard that putting it in the attic over the center of the house might work. Don't want to have to run a lot of wires up into the attic (input to the router and output from the router, if I don't have to. Dave. P.S. I know that centralization and are the keys. Again thanks.

  • Can OS X Server 10.6 reverse proxy be setup to route port traffic 5003 (FileMaker Server) to 2 seperate servers (FM 11 and FM 12)?

    Can OS X Server 10.6 reverse proxy be setup to route port traffic 5003 (FileMaker Server) to 2 seperate servers (FM 11 and FM 12)?

    In your scenario, how is the 'OS X 10.6 Server' supposed to identify which FM machine to proxy the connection to?
    The FM client uses a proprietary protocol, so it's not something simple like HTTP.  Off hand I don't know of any way the server can accept arbitrary connections on port 5003 and know which FM server to relay it to.
    Two options come to mind. One is to nix the OS 10.6 Server altogether - I don't understand this machine's purpose in your network - the second is to setup different ports on the OS X 10.6 Server machine and map each port to a different FM server, e.g. 5003 -> FM11, 5004 -> FM12, then you configure the remote client to connect to a different port number based on the server they want to connect to. I haven't used FM client in a long time to know if this is supported on the client side, but I'm guessing it is.
    Either way, using a proprietary protocol, there's no way for the proxy machine to be able to filter the traffic on any given ports.

  • Hooking up a cisco 3550 48 port switch to my E2500 router

    I am trying to assign an IP to my 3550 switch so I can telnet into it from my computers upstairs but, when I assign the IP to a vlan on the switch and set the port going to the router to access that vlan I still can't see anything pull in the DHCP table on the E2500. The other thing I am not sure about is what I should be setting my default route to is it the 192.168.1.1 or is that just the management IP for the E2500 router? I am pretty sure this is just a case of the E2500 can't deal with the Vlans but with it being set to access it doesn't seem like it should matter it should just live in that Vlan. I can always put a 2600 in front of the switch but I rather not put in a 3rd piece of equipment if I can help it. Any advanced routing information would be appreciated.

    If the swtich is a managed switch, it maybe in compatible with the LAN switch on the router as most "home" class routers do not have manged LAN switched for connectors. 
    I recommend that you contact Cisco about this and see if they have any help and information regarding this. If the management or "smart" features can be disabled on this switch if the has these features, it maybe still usable with the router. 
    Let us now how it goes. 

  • E2500 router random reboots

    I have a E2500 router that until recently has been working fine, the router currently will reboot at random occasions. I have tried resetting the router to factory defaults to test if the firmware was an issue but both the factory default and the most recent firmware build(1.0.05 build 2) offered on the download support page. I have tried 2 different AC adapters to test power and two different Cat5 cables so hard ware wise everything is looking good. I am concerned that it may be an issue still with firmware or with the cooling fan and the unit may be overheating.

    I believed you already exhausted all troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue. Firmware upgrade should fix this but it did not. I’m thinking this device is for replacement.

  • E2500 router seems to be losing power

    I have an E2500 router and a D-link range extender.  When we bought the range extender, it broudcast the signal throughout the house.  Recently, I we are not picking up the signal on the range extender.  That seems to be because the range extender is not finding the original signal from the E2500 router.  I have tried resetting the range extender without success.  I conclude that the signal coming from the router is not robust enough.  The problem seems to be getting worse over time. What can I do?  If should replace the router, can anyone recommend a more powerful model that won't have the same problems?  I am a non-technical person so I may need more explanation than some other people.

    You may want to adjust the router's wireless channel to improve its connection to the network. Try channel 6, 9, 11, and 1. Also, relocate the extender to its final location. Place it somewhere halfway between the router and the remote wireless devices.

  • How to connect 10.9 Mac to USB printer via E2500 router?

    So I've established that Linksys Connect software is incompatible with a Mac running OS 10.9 Mavericks.
    Is Linksys Connect the only way to connect a Mac with a printer connected to the E2500 router? Or is there another way to make it work?

    New operating systems and older software always have compatibly issues. Recently firmware updates have been pushed out. Maybe one will come for the E2500.
    In a business environment you would normally share out the printer from a server or PC. Sharing from a router will be problematic.
    How about the reverse; sharing the printer from the MAC to the PC? Do you have an old computer lying around you can turn into a Printer server? I just had a thought, there are actual printer server devices made for this as well.

  • New Internet Service, Do I Need to Reset E2500 Router?

    I had temporarily used my E2500 router to work with a wireless broadband source by connecting it to a Cradlepoint CTR500.
    Now I will be connecting the E2500 to run (permanently) with Time Warner Roadrunner using a Scientific Atlanta WebSTAR DCP 2100 cable modem . Since I am changing the source of the internet, do I need to reset the E2500 back to the factury defaults and then perform a new set-up on it using the Cisco Connect software?
    The cable modem is currenlty connected via ethernet cable directly to the PC. I had read that removing the ethernet and cable connection from the cable modem and powering the modem down for 10 minutes will cause the modem to "forget" the PCs MAC address.  Once the PC's MAC address had been "forgotten", connect the modem's ethernet cable  to the router, which will make the modem pick up the router's MAC address, and eliminate the need for cloning the PC's MAC address. Does this sound correct?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Unplugging the power to the cable modem for 30seconds should be good enough. As for the router, you should be able to get by without a reset if it is set to DHCP for the internet connection type. 
    I don't work for Cisco. I'm just here to help.
