WAG320N & E4200

Hi guys,
I have a WAG320N modem/router and an E4200 and I would like to create a LAN in my home.
I installed the WAG320N on the 1st floor where I have my DSL cable and other devices (console, laptots, multimedia player).
On the 2nd floor I installed the E4200 with other devices and I configured the WiFi with the same settings of WAG320N so I can move my laptops or mobile devices from the 1st floor to the 2st floor using the same configuration (it works fine).
Routers are connected using the internet port of E4200 to the LAN port of WAG320N (1gb) so I can share the DSL connection.
I would like to create a network using a workgroup (windows 7) and allow the files sharing between devices connected on both routers but I tried a lot of configurations without success :-(
At the moment this is my configuration
WAG320N
- RFC 2516 PPPoE
- IP address 192.168.1.1
- DHCP enabled (192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.149)
E4200
- Bridge mode only
- IP address 192.168.1.2 (reservation from WAG320N)
in this way I have the same network range but it does not work, I am not able to share files :-(
I tried to disable the DHCP server on WAG320N and use it on E4200 but nothing to do...
Could you help me? Could you suggest the right configuration to solve my problem?
Many thanks in advance!

Hello everybody,
I changed my configuration and I am able to reach the LAN of WAG320N from E4200 but not from WAG320N to E4200

WAG320N linking to E4200

Hi,
I hope some one can help me. I have a WAG320N working successfully on an ADSL line. I now have an E4200 that I want to link to it. I have it currently set up with the WAG320N using IP range 192.168.1.1 and the E4200 using 192.168.2.1.
The E4200 is setup using the default - Automatic Configuration - DHCP and the internet port is connected to port 1 on the WAG320N. The E4200 links to the WAG320N successfully and picks up the correct external DNS addresses.
I want to split the wireless network with the WAG320N providing the 2.4Ghz and the E4200 providing the 5Ghz.
Can someone please tell me what settings I should be using on the E4200 so that it successfully connects to the internet
Thanks
Toby

I am not sure this answers your question but here is the answer to have BOTH devices Linked and broadcast 2 DIFFERENT wireless networks according to your needs .
1) E4200 AUTOMATIC CONFIGURATION DHCP - NETWORKS SETTINGS : CHANGE THE IP FROM 192.168.2.1 TO 192.168.2.2
2) WAG320N ENABLE DHCP SERVER AND START ADRESS RANGE PUT 192.168.2.2 TO 192.168.2.XXX WITH SUBNET 255.255.255.0
3) CONNECT LAN 1 TO LAN1 ( WAG320N / E4200 ) USING CAT5 CABLE
4) You should then have them linked and BOTH of them should broadcast a different wireless connection that you can configure however you want , you can then succesfully connect to the internet using E4200 or WAG320N
It's that easy , payed 40 Euros for that setup

Connecting WAG320N to E4200 via Wireless Bridge

I'll preface this by stating I don't know networking in depth, so please excuse my ignorance, with the questions I'm asking.
I purchased a WAG320N and E4200 and have manged to get the modem connected to the internet and it's running fine in that respect, with no adjusting done to the settings.My intentions are to connect the WAG320N to the E4200 wirelessly, as they are in seperate rooms in the house and have done a similar setup in the past with a 7300G Billion Modem and WRT54GL.
With the E4200 I quickly discovered there was no bridge mode out of the box, but checking these forums got the indication that the firmware updates added this capability, so updated it..I entered the IP Address of the Router, the Subnet mask of the network and the Default Gateway / Modem router IP address into the fields, following this guide, but have not been able to get the computers to contact one another, nor ping the other devices.
Is there something I'm doing wrong here? I'm sure there is something I've overlooked, as it's a different setup to the last one I had. Please help .

The E4200 does not connect wireless to other access points. You must connect it with a cable.
It only supports a wired bridge mode but not wireless.

Wireless bridge between E4200 and WAG320N - Assistance required.

Hi,
As indicated on the title, I have both WAG320N and E4200, they are currently linked (wired) together as a bridge (it is not ideal or necessary, but lets move pass this point) and is working fine. But I'd like to place the E4200 on a floor above (which cabling is not an option) and is wondering how the two units can be bridged wirelessly while status quo on everything else.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

You would have to use a 3rd part firmware (preferrably DD-WRT). Then you can set up the router as a bridge client (linked wirelessly and usable lan ports) or a repeater bridge so that the E4200 can act as a repeater, switch, and be bridged to the primary router.
I don't work for Cisco. I'm just here to help.

E4200 / Windows 7 Ultimate - Network cable unplugged

Yesterday two of four computers (both windows 7) stopped connecting to the Linksys E4200 router after several months of continued connectivity for one and the other for about 30 days. Within the Network Connections window the Local Area Connection says "Network Cable Unplugged".
I am using E4200 Firmware version 1.0.0.1. - Firmware version yesterday when problem occurred was 1.0.0.0, updated based on Linksys Forum suggestions. I continued the updating to version 1.0.0.2, problem remains. I have since down graded firmware back to 1.0.0.1 based on the majority of the posts this version seems to be the most promising.
I have powered down, removed mother board battery (pain in the ### to get to) reset bios and still now change in Local Area Connection.
When I restart the computers I do notice an attempt by the router to connect to the PC but it does not go any further than that.
I have switched out the cables and tested the old ones on cable testers, everything is fine.
I have also tried the DhcpConnEnableBcastFlagToggle fix outlined by "smillio" and it has not worked for me.
Both computers are experiencing the same exact problem - Both Windows 7.
I have three other devices connected to the E4200 router which have not experienced any connectivity issues, HP wireless printer (connected wirelessly), XP computer using cat5 and driod phone connected through wireless connection.
My best guess at this point is that the router went to renew the leased connections and both Window 7 machines no longer connect.
Please help, going into another day of limited work productivity.

An E4200 "MegaThread" - FAQ, Issues, How to, etc

Hi Cisco Community! I've taken it on myself to make a kind of "mega-thread" for the E4200, because I see that there are a bunch of questions scattered around the forum, and (perhaps it's just me personally) I'd love to see things grouped together as one nice reference. I'm new to the forum, and to the E4200, but I'm loving it so far. I'm not a forum mod or anything like that, I just thought it'd be nice to gather the issues/questions that Ive seen.
Let's talk about the E4200!
The Cisco E4200 is the latest high-end consumer router from LinkSys/Cisco, released in January of this year.
**Whare are all of the vital stats for the E4200?
See this web page: http://homestore.cisco.com/en-us/Routers/Linksys-E4200-MaximumPerformance-Wirelessn-router_stcVVprod...
**Which hard drives / flash drives work with the E4200?
Here's a "tested" list: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=80&app=vw&vw=1&login=1&docid=0542deb2fe8c469383f8c59723d2...
Basically, any external drive (including ones you put together yourself) should work with the E4200, as long as you're using a drive formatted in FAT32, NTFS, or HFS+.
**Can I wall mount the E4200?
No, there are not any screwholes in the bottom of the device. It's a common question though, because Cisco hasn't released any pictures of the bottom of the device.
**Can I use a USB hub to connect more than 1 hard drive/flash drive device to the E4200?
No, the USB hub will not be recognized by the router, therefore, the devices connected to the hub will not be recognized.
**Why is the light on the top of the router blinking?
Most times it's normal, and I list normal operation below. HOWEVER...
There seems to be an issue in the 1.0 firmware that's been reported in these and other forums. There is a concern that this is a security risk. The thinking is that the router is stuck in "Wireless Protected Setup" mode, and waiting for connections. Some / several users have reported that turning OFF WPS and going to "manual" mode (page 12 of manual) fixes the issue. CISCO HAS NOT COMMENTED ON THIS ISSUE, and we REALLY want some information.
You might get a blinking light that doesn't mean anything. The blinking light, either in error, or as a part of normal operation, doesn't seem to affect performance.
Here's the "official/normal" reasons the light blinks:
Wi-fi protected setup- When you're setting up a device, it's supposed to blink every two seconds. If there's an error, it flashes quickly.
Upgrades, Resets, power on - The light should flash slowly in these conditions.
**The logging functions aren't working the way I expect / aren't working.
This is also an issue that has been reported in these forums. So far, it's unknown if this is an issue with the firmware, or how people have configured their routers. At a minimum, the logs in this device are a lot more "skimpy" than other routers on the market.
**What issues are Cisco / Linksys aware of?
Check this page: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=80&app=vw&vw=1&login=1&docid=3ba1589dc0734ff7978c9e9203d0...
Most of the issues that Cisco are aware of are display issues with the internal Web interface, for instance, you can make a wireless password long enough to break the layout of the page.
**The Web interface shows two wireless networks, with the same name, is this correct?
YES, always make sure that the 5Ghz network and the 2.4Ghz network have the same name. If you're using manual setup for shared keys, make the keys the same. This enables your clients to roam between the two network types without reconnecting.
**The router is hot. Is this normal?
The processor in the E4200 runs hotter than room temperature. In the first month or so of release, some people have reported that the router runs "hot" - most experience that the bottom of the router is warm to the touch.
**I'm comparing routers - which is better, the Netgear 3700 series, or the Cisco E4200?
You're in a E4200 thread, we're a bit biased. But as objectively as possible, it's my recommendation you check out the E4200.
Netgear's 3700 series routers are currently experiencing several firmware issues (1.0.0.6 in the v2 of the router, 6.98 in the v1 of the router). These issues are causing disconnects, slowness in the DLNA server (USB hard drive connection), and several versions of the device's firmware have port forwarding issues. That said, the 3700 has some highlights over the E4200:
1. You can flash the firmware to an open source firmware. Several are reporting that fixes many issues, but is more complex than the default interface. It's also a "power user" solution, so be comfortable with your know-how before attempting.
2. There's a few "known good" firmware releases for the 3700 that solve issues, but they are only compatible with the v1 of the 3700 (mostly off the market by now).
3. The web interface has more options in the 3700.
4. The forum community at Netgear seems to be really good.
The E4200 has been generally very well recieved, has had two issues that don't seem to affect performance (blinking light on top, logging failures), has a 90 day return policy, has a wireless download throughput of over 50M (blows away all other routers in this class), and generally speaking, out performs other routers in wired tests (anecdotal reports from forum users). The E4200 also has a couple more options than the 3700, like being able to translate a port when doing port forwarding.
The E4200 is much newer than the 3700 series. It's generally accepted that we'll start to see more issues soon, as more people adopt the product. Those issues COULD be deal breakers, who knows.
Several people are taking a "wait and see" approach right now, but others (myself included) jumped from the 3700 to the E4200 because of gaming and other issues. Anecdotally, I love the E4200!
Some folks are waiting for the next Netgear router, the WDNR4000. I needed a router now.
**There are several screens under Storage. What does each do?
Disk- Disk makes a Network share (SMB share). This is good for computer devices on your network. Although you can make the shares authenticated, the default is that everyone has read / write access to the folders on your disk. The default location for your disk will be \\192.158.1.1\PARTITIONNAME (where PARTITIONNAME is the name of the share, which in turn is by default named the same as the partition; you can edit this name). This screen also allows you to remove the disk drive safely from the router.
Media Server- dedicated devices, like the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, several HDTVs, and more (including your computer) can stream music and video from your disk using the Media Server option. The router uses a service called Twonky to create a DLNA server that you'll see listed in the video tab of your Xbox or PS3. In this tab, you can specify how often the router should look for new videos on the disk, what to share, and what to call your media server.
FTP Server - You can also run an FTP server, for devices that can't access the disk any other way.
Admin - User management.
**Quality of Service - what does it do, how do I set it up?
QoS allows traffic through your router based on how important it is to you. For instance, if your games are more important than downloading files, you can apply QoS to ensure that traffic for your games always gets through despite the downloads.
QoS is automatically applied for wireless devices that support a standard called WMM. You don't have to do a thing to apply this.
For games, you'll need to add either applications or devices that get highest priority. If you have an Xbox or PS3, you can "set it and forget it" by doing a MAC address rule, and adding your Xbox/PS3 as the highest priority device on your network. If you want fine grained control over ports, etc - check from page 38 of the manual for details on configuring your applications. If you don't have the manual, it's available for download here: http://homedownloads.cisco.com/downloads/userguide/E4200_V10_UG_NC.pdf
**How do I get an "Open NAT" on Xbox Live / PSN with this router?
Many users will be plesantly suprised that the default settings of this router allow both the Xbox and PS3 through, usually with zero issues on NAT! That said, if need be, you can do either Port Forwarding or Port Triggering.
Port Forwarding - use this if you've added "Address reservation" for your PS3 or Xbox, AND you only have ONE (of each) in your house.
Port Triggering - use this if you have 2 or more Xboxes, 2 or more PS3s, and you need all to connect simultaneously.
Check starting at Page 36 for more information on Port Forwarding/Triggering.
On Xbox Live, you'll want to open the following ports: 88,3074,1863, and 53.
On PSN, open: 5223, 3478, 3479, 3658
Check http://portforward.com/cports.htm for more games / information.
**Does anyone know how to check what devices are connected to the E4200 via WIRELESS?
Go into Status -> Local Network , and click on the "DHCP Client Table" button. (thanks kirkh)
**How does Guest access work?
Guest network access is an unencrypted wireless network that does not have access to your LAN. You can assign the guest network any password you choose. When a user connects to the guest network, they must then load a web browser. When they load the web browser, they'll be asked to enter the guest network password.
Guest access is defined in more detail in the user manual, page 18.
*****Conclusion*****
I'll post more as more questions / items come up. Unfortunately, we can't edit posts, so please note that information in this post is as accurate as I know it to be as of 1/25/2011.
I invite other forum members to post question / answer format items, or generally discuss below. I hope this helps some people, and I hope this doesn't seem excessive.

**Does DHCP have to be on in the router to properly enable the Guest Network?
Yes. No DHCP, no guest network.
**How do I access the disk from iPhone, iTouch, iPad, Android, or Blackberry?
Any application which allows you to access network resources will allow you to access the file share portion of the shared disk. On Android, ES File Explorer allows you to access files, for example. There are several apps available on the iPhone, such as NetPortal. On Blackberry, try the FILES app.
**Can multiple people access the shared hard drive at the same time?
Yes, I've successfully streamed a movie to 4 devices simultaneously without any drops!
**Port forward to broadcast for WOL (Wake On LAN)? I want to wake up my computer from the Internet, how do I do this?
The current method isn't the BEST, but it seems to work: You must reserve a DHCP address for the computer you want to wake in the DHCP reservation screen (basic setup page). You must also put in the port forwarding rule for UDP port 6 or 7 to that computer, port being depending on your magic packet software. Currently, this allows for the Wake On Lan to work as long as the ARP table isn't flushed. Because the magic packet is supposed to be pointed at the broadcast address, it's important to open the port to the broadcast address, but the JavaScript on the port forwarding page disallows this action. Some people have intercepted the HTML on previous LinkSys routers (on the port forwarding screen) to... Forum members will likely be trying this method on the E4200 soon - I'm not going to, as I don't have a need for WOL (let me know how it goes).
**Is there a way to transfer settings from an old router to the E4200, like port forwarding, WEP/WPA keys, etc?
No, there's no automatic way to transfer the settings. Many of your old settings (WEP, HAHAHA) are obsolete anyway.
**Is the E4200 DLNA certified?
If it's not directly certified, it doesn't really matter. The media server seems to work with everything I've thrown at it - Xbox, PS3, Media Center, etc etc Technically, the box and the ad materials all state "UPnP AV Media Server", not specifically DLNA, so it's probably not actually certified at this point. The server is TwonkyServer it looks like (the icon is the same T icon).

Cisco E4200 and VPN and Vontage Phone service.

I have a E4200 Router. I would like to subscribe to a VPN service and possiby flash the router with DD-WRT so I can take advantge of of the VPN across my network and allow my various clents ( Roku, Boxee Box, etc ) to have access to the VPN. My question is what is required to to have access to VOIP say using Vontage. Will the router be cable of this ? Is it possible to be able to use the commerical VPN service using Linksys firmware ? It appears my only option is to use third party firm ware ,such as DD-WRT or Tomato for the VPN. I've heard some talking about using TWO routers, but I haven't been seen much detail on this option.
Thanks !
Glenn

VPN Services that I have heard of use static DNS entries which you can setup in your routers DHCP settings
DD-WRT may not be required for what you mention
Vonage you just plug in (A QOS policy isn't required unless you have bandwidth issues)
The router can do this with Linksys firmware or DD-WRT
VPN passthrough is supported but your VPN connections have to be setup in your computers and devices
Third party software isn't required unless you experience firmware issues
Two routers are only required if you need to extend your wireless into areas where you have low signal strength
I can provide detail on adding multiple router onto your network.
Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

[Solved] E4200 - External hard drive not recognized

My external hard drive, a 2TB WD Elements, does not appear in the storage list in the web utility of my E4200. The drive is formated as NTFS, single partition. It works fine if I connect it to a computer.
If I connect a 4GB USB flash drive (FAT32) to the router, it does appear in the list.
I'm using the latest firmware, version 1.0.02.
Edit: Down(up?)grading to firmware version 1.0.01 fixed the problem.

not surprised. I was going to reccomend you dropped down too. But I see you fixed it. Kudos to you. Im glad it works. Lots of drives dont work with the E4200.
please fix the E4200 media server in .02 firmware

Cant ping windows computers with new E4200 LAN/wLAN

just replaced a WRT54G with E4200. Most functions work well. 4 wireless computers (1 Macbook, 3 Win 7), 1 wireless android, 1 wired Win7 computer, 1 ethernet connected hard drive, 1 ethernet connected printer. All computers can ping router, access hard drive, access internet, ping android and ping Macbook.
However, router, nor any computer, can't ping Win7 computers. Apparently IP based connections between WinX computers is blocked. My real applications are to Remote Desktop Connect from 1 Win7 computer to another, or to run a DLNA music server on 1 Win7 computer, accessed by another. (the LAN connected computer is the server, accessed by a wLAN client. All worked fine on WRT54G router, but can't connect thru E4200. When these apps failed, I tried PING, and that failed as well.
All computer's IP addresses are properly served from E4200 via DHCP, and are visible thru the router's DHCP Reservation panel.
Cisco Tech support suggested turning off the router firewall, and then turning off all of the internet filters, but neither of these ideas helped.
Any thoughts

Did you reconfigure the firewall on the Windows computer? You have connected the computers to a new router, i.e. a new network and it should be by default untrusted.

Linksys E4200: How to access USB hard drive remotely from Android phone or computer

Hello.
I just purchased a Linksys e4200 router today along with a WD 2TB MyBook hard drive. My intent is to set these two up together so that i can share files on the hard drive with:
Computers on my home network ( 1 Windows 7 desktop wired, 1 windows 7 laptop wifi, 1 XP netbook wifi)
Computers remotely over the internet
Smartphones (Android and Apple) on my home network
Smartphones (Android and Apple) remotely over the internet
My questions are:
Can all of this be done with the E4200?
Has anyone in the communiyt forums set-up remote access for fileshare with smartphones?
What is the easiest way to set-up and configure this?
Does anyone have experience using the WD MyBook Essential (WDBACW002OHBK)? Does it work well with the E4200?
Thank you in advance for all responses and help.

Hi,
Major concern in your case now, seems like is all about accessing the data from that Shared Hard Drive remotely over the internet....
For that very reason, we can use either of the two ways to access the shared Hard Drive or Network Hard Drive remotely....However, for both the ways, we need to have a public IP address coming in from the modem...(192.168.X.X....172.16.X.X....10.X.X.X...are examples for Private IP, rest all are public IP's)
One of the ways to get this done is through the WAN IP that you are getting from Modem on your connected Cisco Router's status page....Open the set up page with http://192.168.1.1 , go to Status tab - look out for WAN IP - should be a public IP address not a private one....,then so as to access it, you have type in http://wanip:sharename....
Other way round to do the same is via getting the WAN IP converted to the domain name, this is done via dynamic domain naming system (refer to http://TZO.org) in which we converts our WAN IP into a domain name, which will continue to update the ever changing public IP address (WAN IP) on the daily basis....then so as to access it, you have type in http://domainname:sharename.....

Hello - I had an Iomega 1TB External Hard Drive connected to my E4200 router. I had shares confgured and they were properly running on the network.
As of yesterday, this all stopped working. The router does not see the drive; it is as though it is not plugged in.
I rebooted the router and it still does not work. I've connected the hard drive directly to my PC to verify that it works there, and it does.
The router is running Ver.1.0.03 (Build 14) of firmware (the latest).
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I've done as you suggested - I did this during a chat session with a support resource from Linksy. Things still behave the same.
I have tried your suggestion of trying another disk. I had an old Maxtor drive that I connected to the router; it works fine!!!
I've since done a chkdsk on my TB drive, and it checked out clean.
I'm guessing here - it appears that the 1TB drive is not identifying itself to the router's satisfaction, but it is OK for Windows XP. What's odd is that this all worked a week ago. The only thing I can think of is that we had some power outages during a recent storm that messed something up (which shouldn't be the case since it is all connected through a decent surge protector).
Any other ideas are appreciated.
Thanks!

Cisco VPN no longer works with the E4200

VPN issue with the E4200. Validated that VPN passthrough is enabled. Using Cisco VPN as the client. Used to work prior to the firmware upgrade so not sure what has changed. Error code on the Cisco VPN client is "Secure VPN connection terminated by local client. Reason 414. Failed to establish a TCP connection."
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all,
i just had time to to a network capture
The ip have been changed but btw :
- 172.20.10.2 = A computer conntect to internet that will try to reach the vpn server behind the E4200
- 77.56.226.107 = The internet valid ip address of the Linksys E4200 router.
So below is the proof that GRE protocol is not forwarded/passing the router.
Frames 29/30/31 : Standard TCP/IP communication intialization. SYN, SNY ACK, ACK....
Frames 32/34/36/37/38/39 : initialization of pp2p using port 1723
Frame 43 : ACK of 39
Frames 40,52,67,80... Request send using protocol 47 GRE... and the server not responding as the router blocks them...
No.

New Ipod Touch 5g can't access Internet in home network (using Linksys E4200 router). But, OK with other Wifi.

Just bought new Ipod Touch 5g. I found out it can't access Internet in home network. not really cannot access, but very slow to open any web page, App Store failed to access, etc. But, OK with other Wifi (office & starbucks). Others existing iOS devices (Iphone4 & Ipad2) have no problem like this. I'm using Linksys E4200 router at home. anyone has any idea why?

Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>GeneralReset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Currently, E4200 defintely inferior to D-Link DIR-655 when it comes to streaming applications

About 8 weeks ago I upgraded from a D-Link DIR-655 single band n router to the E4200, primarily to get into the 5GHz band for streaming Netflix to two different TVs in our house.
The E4200's wireless connections to my laptop's Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 AGN card are very fast and rock solid. All of the E4200's wired connections are rock solid. The router generall performs well as intended.
BUT neither my Samsung BD-C6900 Blu Ray Player nor our WDTV live plus HD box establish a useful connection to the E4200 - with two very different symptoms:
1) For the WDTV I am using a D-Link DAP-1522 wireless AP to have network connectivity. The DAP-1522 is less than 10 feet away from the E4200 and the wireless connection to the E4200 get's easily established. Using an Ethernet cable at the AP and checking speeds, they are very decent, with over 25Mbit/s download. Problem is: When attempting to stream anything from the WDTV through the E4200 using the wireless AP, the WDTV always produces an "invalid DNS" error before any streaming even starts - even though it receives its IP address, subnet, DNS etc. w/o a glitch. When I replace the E4200 with the old DIR-655 (and leave the DAP-1522 AP in place as is) I have no such issues.   BTW - this is independent of accessing the E4200 through the DAP-1522 on either the 2.4 or the 5 GHz spectrum. And yes, I tried ALL settings, on all three machines (router, AP, WDTV) including fixed IP, different DNS servers, etc.
2) The Samsung BD-C6900 also can connect to the E4200 w/o a problem. The Blu-Ray player even shows an "excellent" five bar strength wireless network (2.4GHz band only) . But the connection is relatively unstable. And using the Samsung Blu Ray player's internal speed test, download speeds are only around 200kbps - too slow and unstable slow even for Pandora streaming.   Again, just replacing the E4200 with the old DIR-655 fixes the problem - even though the BluRay player then only shows a "good" signal strength, but downloads are around 20Mbit/s. To me this hints at some inter-compatibility issues between the E4200 and the wireless card built into the BD-C6900.
I've worked this problem for countless hours now.   Only solution that worked: We are now running both wireless routers, using the DIR-655 dedicated to streaming to those two devices.
All this leads me to believe that the current version/firmware of the E4200 (newest firmware) is suffering from some inter-operability and streaming issues - at least on the wireless side of the router. Anyone else with similar devices and problems? If anyone from Cisco reads this – maybe go, recreate the setup and try for yourself. As for Cisco’s reputation – come the next generation of routers in 2 years, I will go back to D-Link.

Thank you for your suggestion. I wish it was that easy.
We have both Comcast Cable and Clear WiMax 4G - I've been trying it with either IPS connection and several DNS servers.
DNS servers used:
The DNS servers I tried include
68.87.68.166, 68.87.74.166 (when hooked up to Comcast cable)
75.94.255.12 , 64.13.115.12 (when hooked up to the Clear modem)
and 75.75.75.75, 8.8.8.8, 4.2.2.6, 209.244.0.3 - all of which have very good response times from our location.
All else on the network works fine. And both of these machines, the BD player as well as the WDTV show correct DNS info. Again - taking out the E4200 and replacing it with the old DIR-655 also makes the two machines causing trouble with the E4200 behave alright. Hence it's not a DNS server address issue per se.
Connected to the E4200 using Ethernet cables both, the WDTV and the BD player, work fine.
Which really leads me to believe the problem is how the E4200 handles streaming aspects over wireless.

Setting a E4200 as primary router for Uverse (Making the Gateway a modem)

So we just received Uverse a week ago, and we switched from Comcast. For Comcast, it was simple enough if you wanted to change routers, as the modem was separate when provided by Comcast. As a result, I really do not have a lot of knowledge with AT&T's configuration of hardware.
So my goal for today was to turn the Uverse provided 3801HGV Gateway into a simple modem, and set up a Linksys E4200 as the primary router. I assume that this is the best setup speed and bandwidth wise for high bandwidth applications like gaming and streaming (Compared to having the Gateway allocate IP addressing and firewalls).
So my steps were as followed:
Dynamic IP - DHCP is already enabled for the gateway.
1) Hooked up laptop to Gateway through ethernet cable, and turn off wireless interface (transmission) here:http://192.168.1.254/xslt?PAGE=C_2_1.
2) Disconnected ethernet cable from computer and gateway.
3) Connected ethernet cable from a LAN port on the gateway to the broadband WLAN main port on the router. Hooked up another ethernet cable from a LAN port on the router to my laptop.
4) Installed and configured router through provided CD (DHCP was enabled by default) (Firmware is latest)
5) Accessed the gateways settings through computer, went to "firewall, pinholes, dmz" setting (http://192.168.1.254/xslt?PAGE=C_3_1), and changed the router's specific firewall access to DMZplus.
6) Reset Router.
After I did all of these steps, the internet worked like a charm. I didn't test speed or play any online games to check latency, but browsing seemed normal.
However, after browsing the routers settings for a bit, I noticed NAT was enabled. I turned this off, seeing that in my previous Comcast setup it was just an inconvenience for gaming (xbox).
The result of this after a reboot was complete loss of internet from LAN and WLAN (but I could still access router and gateway settings (just because of the ethernet cable I assume)). Chrome gave me DNS errors every time I tried a website. I renabled NAT and rebooted, and it still gave me DNS errors. I rebooted the router multiple times, and unplugged it, and it still would not connect to the internet. I later learned that DMZ or some other firewall setting in the gateway required NAT, so it seemed as though I messed up something indirectly, even after enabling NAT again.
I tried multiple factory resets of the router, and cleared the device list under diagnostics in the Gateway's settings. However, the gateway still showed the router under devices after the multiple device wipes for some reason (I disconnected the router from the gateway too). After I reset the router through the pinhoel button on the back, I tryed to install and configure the router again through the CD, but it got stuck at 90 percent and an error accuired. I tryed this multiple times. Now I can not even access the routers settings.
I don't know what to do at this point, other than ask AT&T and/or Linksys on what to do.
I spent hours trying to get this to work. Can anyone help me out?
What should I do from here? If I get this working again, what should be my router's and gateway's settings?

Check out the second post in this forum. If you still have any issues with the gateway, you would be better off asking them, but feel free to ask us also . http://forums.att.com/t5/Residential-Gateway/U-verse-for-BUSINESS-2Wire-3600HGV-bridge-mode-or-anoth...
I don't work for Cisco. I'm just here to help.
