E3000 FTP access question/using Cisco connect after router setup

I have two questions about my E3000 router.
1. If I have already set up my router using the default web address, if I use the Cisco connect software, do I gain any benefit or am I opening up a can of worms? I would like to change my server name and default admin user name stuff, but I don't want to screw with any settings I have. I will be updating my firmware in a day or so, so should I use the software then, or just go about it the way I have already?
2. I have enables FTP access for my USB drive, but I am unsure how to access it from a remote computer. I know using ftp://xxx.xxx.x.x gets me to my Index while connected to my network, but how do I access this off my network? I want to give our parents and family access to pictures, but I''m not sure of the exact address to use. I have looked in the set-up manual, and searched Google and this site, and have found nothing.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Dan

If you have configured your Router using the Cisco Connect software, then you it secure your wireless network with an password. If you have any firewall and antivurs software on your router then it will protect your computers against worms.
To use the FTP feature of your router you need to enable ftp login on your router, which you will find under the storage tab of your router.

Linksys Cisco EA6400 - Passphrase/router password

I'm trying to find the password for this screen, seen after typing my remote ip address "192.168.1.1", in order to access my router settings.
As you probably already know, I don't know what it is. I've tried the default passwords I could find on some portforward sites, which are "admin" and "tivonpw", along with "default", "password", "[blank]", and every number or letter on the back and front of my physical router. I've also tried many passwords me or my dad might have set it as, but nothing. On multiple occasions, I've tried hard reseting my router and re-typing all of these passwords, first holding down the reset button for 10 seconds, then 30, a minute, and finally two minutes. I also tried calling a support site, but they said my warranty ran out and that I'd need to pay for their advice, which I chose not to.
Things like these have happened enough to where I've stopped becoming frustrated with them, but the help would still be much appreciated.
Thanks.
P.S. A curious thing I noted; this router doesn't seem to have a username?

@Baximus
There’s no way to retrieve the router password once you change it from the default password admin.
If you forgot your router password, you can perform a hardware reset to restore your router to factory default settings. Just press and hold the Reset button on the back panel of the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Router for about 10 seconds then release.
Once done, you may run the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi setup wizard or manually set it up. It should prompt you to update your router and wireless password. Make sure to type the password correctly since it’s case sensitive.

IMac G4 suddenly can't connect with Airport -- password not recognized

I have an iMac G4 running OS X 10.4.11 with an airport card installed that until recently connected with an Airport Extreme base station in the next room. Recently, the connection fell out, and when I try to reconnect with the network, it says it won't recognize my password. (We use WPA2 personal security.) This failure occurs even though my iPad can hook up, as can my wife's G5 and her iPad. There was a problem with an Extreme router, but my wife reset that, and when she did she used the same password that we've always used. So, in essence, my G4 is the only piece of equipment that can't talk on the network.
An Apple helpline person said he suspects my computer is just getting old; it's around 7 years old now. I'd hate to think that's the case. Could this be a hardware and not a software problem? Any suggestions of what to do?

I suspect that that "Apple helpline person" is just getting lazy...
It might help to reset the connection settings on your Mac using these steps one at a time until the problem is resolved, recognizing that, depending on your problem, not all of these steps will make sense. They're also tailored to OS X 10.5 and 10.6, but they should work with OS X 10.4.
1) Use the AirPort menu bar item to turn AirPort off, then on again.
2) Try to select your Wi-Fi network from the AirPort menu.
3) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort item from the left column, then add it back.
4) In the same panel as (3), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
5) In the same panel, select the AirPort connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease".
6) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( _not_ <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
These steps may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try. Before you try these, if you have any special network settings on your Mac for things like DSL credentials, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them. If you got all the way to the last step, if things don't work any worse than before, you can trash the saved SystemConfiguration folder.

Cisco software and Router password?

Hi..
I have an e2000 wireless router. I have the latest software version for the Cisco software. My problem is this.. I have noticed that Cisco sets up the same password to access the router setup page as the wireless password... WHY?
What I mean is that... Anyone that connects to the main SSID will be able to connect to the setup page at 192.168.1.1...I know that I can change the password in the linksys setup page to whatever I want, but then when I open the Cisco software, it wants me to change the password to match what the administrator password is... this is ridiculous... why would CIsco do this?
Don't they realize that a wireless password is different than the Administrator password to access the router settings?
Am I missing something here?

Well the software is really not that bad except for the password issue. I use OpenDns servers to protect my netword from porn, phishing, ect because I have kids. This is why a password to access the router settings is essential to prevent anyone but me to make any changes to those settings... but like I said, if it wasn't because of the password issue, the software is not that bad.
Anyway, I went back to Tomato firmware because with the regular e2000 firmware you can't intercept port 53 which can be used to bypass any DNS settings, which Tomato or DD-WRT are capable of intercepting and redirecting any DNS settings.

Guest account with the Cisco connect e2000 router

When switching to the guest account it does not ask me for a password or is this password for computers not on the normal connecting

When you try to connect to the Guest Network, it will display you as a Unsecured Wireless Network and it will not ask you for the password. But once connected to the Guest Network and when you open Internet Explorer and try to go online wirelessly that time it will prompt you for the Password. Input the right password then you will be able to go Online wirelessly.

Mountain Lion 10.8.4-Cisco Connect-shutdowns kernel panic error-EA6500

I have:
- Mac Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.4
- EA6500 with the latests updates (firmware..) all downloaded from Linksys web
When I install Cisco Connect to setup a USB printer, the software has some kind of conflict with OS X 10.8.4 and the system has unexpected & repentine shutdowns with a restart shutdown panic error report.
If I unistall Cisco Connect the problem doesn´t happen again
After checking all available guides and software, there is no way to solve the issue. I also chat with Linksys support and they have no idea how solve it.
It is for sure a problem of Cisco Connect software compatibility with OS X 10.8.4.
Please, some solution from Linksys or a workaround with Mac terminal commands?
DON´T INSTALL CISCO CONNECT SOFTWARE TILL ISSUE SOLVED!!

Cisco Connect would not work with a router using a Linksys Smart Wifi firmware. Also, VUSB is not going to work with MAC OS 10.8 yet. Hopefully Linksys would release an update that would support MAC 10.8 on VUSB.

E3000 questions. Cisco Connect with https and turn off wireless?

My old router died this weekend after 10 years and I have been wanting to get a faster router for a while anyways.
I picked up a E3000 and set it up yesterday.
The firmware is 1.0.03
I have two main questions
I changed the router settings so you can only browser manage the router through https and turned off http access to the router.
Cisco Connect now doesn't work. Will Cisco Connect work with HTTPS? Do I have to do something to get it to work?
I also didn't see a version number on Cisco Connect am I just not noticing it?
I'd really like to shut off wireless on most days when I'm not home. I want the router to still be working since my desktop computers are directly connected to the router and I remote into them. Is there an easy way to shutoff the wireless and then easily turn it back on when I get home?
thanks
mike

Mine works the same. It's probably designed that way for the manual way of logging into the setup page of the router.
No, it seems no updates yet or see the need to have one.
No, it doesn't have that option unfortunately.

E3000 Router without Cisco Connect

I just setup my new E3000 which in general is working great. Being a Cisco geek at work, my first step was to connect via http and toss the Cisco Connect CD to the side. After getting the basics setup to mimic my old Cisco 871W, I started to look into some of the whiz bang features on teh E3000.
The first one that I wanted to take advantage of was having a different SSID for the 5GHz band from the 2.4GHz band. In the web interface this seemed simple to do, but although the SSID was showing up on my laptop I was unable to connect to it. As soon as I made the SSIDs the same, my laptop connected to the 5GHz side or 2.4GHz just fine. Is there some magic to getting this setup?
The other feature I wanted to setup was the Guest access. Unfortunately it looks like this feature is hidden unless you use Cisco Connect and if you don't use 192.168.1.1 for your router Cisco Connect can't see it. Am I missing something somewhere?
Thanks,

I initially had a different SSID for the 5GHz band and was able to connect my Wireless-N bridge to it without any problems. However, hours later, both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands flaked out, and now I can't get anything to connect to them. The wired portion of my router works fine. I'll be doing a firmware reinstall and 30/30/30 hard reset tomorrow. I assume it might be an issue with the firmware being 1.0. if it's not, it's being returned for another unit.
As for guest access, yes, you can only adjust it through Cisco Connect. There is no web UI option for it. If you change the password of your router, its default IP, and possibly its name, Cisco Connect will not work.
Cisco really screwed up this release. Hopefully the next firmware release will fix all of this.

I am trying to connect my new iMac to my Buffalo router. I forgot my router password, so I reset it and it is working. I can't figure out how to reset my router password and lock it on my iMac.

I am connecting my new iMac to my Buffalo router. I forgot my router password so I pushed the reset button and my computer was able to connect. The problem is, I can't figure out how to set my new password and lock the router. I went to the Buffalo website and downloaded the CD, as I can't find that either. I can't open any of it because it says it is Windows and can't open it. I am new to Apple!

Ah, new to routers too.
Perhaps it's best to have a local computer support person come set you up?
To explain everything would require writing a book here.
But this is what you want basically.
Router, new Wireless N, firmware updated.
1: Two accounts, one admin, one guest Internet access. Random +30 plus character lenght passwords each preferred.
(guest password to max password length of any iDevices)
2: Encryption: WPA2 AES. No Ping. No remote access. No MAC filtering. Visible.
3: Guest access on devices and computers only. Passwords written down and stored.
4: OpenDNS preferred but not mandatory.
If you get OpenDNS, you can log into their website for free and set parental controls on things like inappropriate sites for children. So whatever device is used on your network can't access a large portion of those sites (nothing is perfect) by most users who are not technical oriented.
What your doing now is running the bare bones unsecure router which can be used harmfully against you.
Even a Apple Airport router has to be very well secured. The defautl cd and out of the box setup is not a secure solution.

Can Cisco Connect be password protected?

I set up a E3200 today for a friend who has a small business. He has 6 staff in his office where it is installed.
I installed it using the web interface for the router, but wanted to show him how to change the guest password using the Cisco Connect software. He also wanted to block Facebook and a couple other time-wasting sites with the parental controls.
When we started Cisco Connect, we were both shocked to see that the guest and private wireless password were viewable from the main screen with just a click or two through different windows. No where did it prompt us for a password to enter the setup portions.I understand that you have to be on the LAN to get access to this, but this means that if any of his staff are computer savvy, they could hit the Linksys website themselves and download the Cisco Connect software and make any changes they want.
Is there a way to protect the router from unintended changes from someone using the Cisco Connect software?

In my opinion, this seems to be a HUGE security issue.
If I knew someone was using a Linksys router in a small office, and I wanted to hack it. All I would do is put Cisco Connect on a laptop, walk in to that office, find an open network port and connect my laptop to it. I could capture all the security settings and then leave and come back later to get on their wifi network.
I understand about physical security, social engineering, and all that. I just cant believe that the passwords to the router / wifi are freely accessible through a software app which requires no authentication to get in to. Seems like a very half-baked application.

Cisco Model 870 router for home office connected to WRT160NL wireless router for personal use

I am using a Cisco Model 870 router for home office. I just bought a WRT160NL wireless router for home use. I setup the personal wireless router off the personal port of the 870 and can connect with my PC but not with my MAC machines. It can see the Network but when it asks me for passwords, it says they are wrong, which after several attempts I know they are correct.
The new router is setup as WPA2 personal. Can you advise?

I think I answered my own question. I tried downloading something on my desktop and checked my cellular usage afterwards didn't go up so it's using my home internet and not my data plan.

Cisco connect software wants to match the admin password to cisco connect password?

As much as possible i want only one SSID for my router, so i dont want to have another SSID for guest. To protect my router
settings I need to have a different admin password from those of passphrase (i.e. wifi password).
Why is it that cisco connect software wants to match the admin password to cisco connect password?
The cisco connect password is the same as the passphrase. I think its unsafe to have similar passes for both admin password
and passphrase.
Is there any way that cisco connect software would work under different admin password & passphrase?

From what I can tell, the router is set up so that it broadcasts two seperate SSID's with two unique passwords. If you logon to the SSID-Guest network, you are not allowed any kind of Admin access to the router. If you attempt to use the Cisco Connect software, you'll eventually get an error saying that it could not find a network (unless there is an unconfigured router running factory defaults in range). I verified this using a Cisco Linksys E4200 and a few laptops.
So long as you utilize the guest network properly, you should be able to maintain security on your network and use Cisco Connect. Obviously this isn't ideal for most commercial use, but then again I don't know why you would want to use this software on that scale.
If you are trying to keep one SSID for the network, I think you're going to have to use the web based service and do a little manual configuration.
TLDR: Seta different password for the guest network and never give out the primary network password. Guests don't have admin access, even while using Cisco Connect so long as they are connected to the -Guest SSID.

Downloaded Cisco Connect for E1200 v2 disk image damaged. Now what? recent Mountain Lion upgrade

I had originally set up my E1200 Jan 2012 & had Cisco Connect setup. I didn't use it much but back in Oct after being away for 10 days I didn't have internet connection. Had to re-set both cable modem--then I at least had connection via ethernet, but still no wifi connection. Had to turn off for awhile to get it Router to properly reset & work. & then I think I had to do another reset maybe in Dec, can't remember exactly.
As I mention in another post, I have been having frequent intermittent not connected to internet messages for a long time. Usually if I just turn wifi off & then turn it back on it finds my network (although frequently I notice that it was on my guest network rather than main). I still don't know if it is cable modem, router or my ISP, altho they came out & checked & said signals ok, but modem could be going (Its old but about to move so don't want to buy new modem now).
I updated to Mountain Lion about 2-3 weeks ago.
After a Panic last night I was advised to make sure everything updated including router firmware.
When I opened Cisco Connect it said I had an unsupported Operating System. Trying to figure this all out, I finally found links to download Cisco Connect that are supposed to be compatible w Mountain Lion (at least the original link said that, but not where I went w the links so hoping it is right link for that). Anyway I downloaded it & was reading a bit & then clicket on the setup icon.
That said it was damaged & to eject it. I downloaded it via wifi just like I download other software. Maybe it is hyper sensitive so I need to take it over to plug directly into my cable modem? But then that will mess up the router, although I guess it will need to be reset any way.
So I think i need to get Cisco Connect updated so it works w Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion told me about 1 software that wasn't compatible but didn't pick up on Cisco Connect.
So don't know if I need to do a hard wired download, unlike the way I download other things, or what to get an undamaged copy. I then hope that it will see the old version, even though it isn't didn't work & hopefully pick up all my settings & all.
& then I guess I still need to check for a firmware update. & I understand that a firmware update should be done w a good connection (although the user manual just says good signal, web says hard wired ethernet. & because of the intermittent issues I plan to to it manually by 1st downloading & then installing from the download so there won't be a risk of interruption during install--if its even needed.
I'm running on a mid April 2010 13" MacBookPro
Any suggestions? This all is rather confusing.

Well I was trying to update Cisco Connect so it would work w Mountain Lion but after 3 tries at the download I kept getting this same error message that it is downloaded. I even shut down & restarted before the last time w same result.
I should not have to spend hours of my time to get this to work. That is ridiculous.
Right before starting this process I checked for Apple updates & found a firmware update for my MacBookPro. I quickly downloaded & installed it, no problem. It took a very few minutes & then I backed it up & started working on this many hours ago.
I am an end user--not an IT professional. I just want things to work. I should not be expected to have to spend hours trying to figure out how to get stuff to work & still it doesn't. So I guess Linksys doesn't care that much about making things easy for Mac users.
I recently had the cable co come out & check the levels & all. they all checked out ok & they did change the fittings in several places on the coax connecters for good measure.
My cable modem is set up just across my living room from me & it is not a large living room. The router is right next to it, but it is not at a desk or place that is very comfortable to set up my Mac.
I sure hope that those security settings have been set up by default when I orginally set this up about a year ago. & I don't reall know how to change those settings without Cisco Connect, which I have been unable to get reinstalled since i keep getting those warnings about it being damaged.
I just want my computer devices to work. I don't want to have to spend hours troubleshooting them w poorly written instructions that don't really tell how to update firmware & Cisco Connect for tnose of us who have already had it set up before upgrading to Mountain Lion.
Having a link to download Cisco Connect that supposedly works w Mountain Lion but doesn't since it keeps giving a warning is not very helpful. There was nothing I saw in all my searches to tell what the results of even being able to upgrade Cisco Connect. Would it be able to figure existing settings? Didn't see anything that explained how that would work.
I don't appreciate my time being stolen by making it so hard to just get this updated! I"m giving up on this. I may try taking it back to Best Buy to see if they can tell if the router itself was also defective but I think I will likely go get an airport Express so I have a reliable router that is easy to use!

Cisco Connect can't find my E1000 router

My router is working find but Cisco Connect can't find it. I'm locked out of making changes.

I'm trying to find my username and password via Cisco connect. 192.168.1.1 requires my username and password to continue. I appear to be dead unless I do a H/W router reset and risk shutting down my network...I'm worried it won't come back alive!
