WRT 610N 5GHz SSID Name Changed!

I was just checking my setup via the web-based config page and noticed the name of the 5 GHz band had been changed - I am the only one who edits the configuration.
This makes me wonder about a situation a few weeks ago. I manage an open wireless network in a public setting. A patron came in with a newer laptop and could not connect to our wireless network. The laptop asked for the access point's Serial Number before we could go any further with accessing the free, unsecured/open wireless network that no one else seems to have trouble connecting to. Once I put in the number I was able to save our network as a profile on his computer. I wonder if doing this somehow accessed my configuration and automatically changed it? I have it set up so that only certain wired computers can change the configuration, but that I can access it from a wireless/DHCP to change. I did NOT log in, though, I just entered the number and it worked.
I thought leaving the network unsecured would avoid any issues like this. Are some laptops set up to require a log in/or the Access point's Serial Number? Is there some way around this?

Difficult to tell without knowing the exact SSID before and after.
You should have a look at WPS and how that works. The "serial number" suggests that this laptop tried to use WPS or similar to autoconfigure it's network connection to the WRT and I guess that way the router may have set the SSID to the default SSID for WPS configuration.

  • Change SSID name in Guest Manager Receipt

    Requirement:
    To use the same Guest manager receipt in different sites for different SSIDs' with a single guest self-registration page.
    Solution:
    Every guest self-registration page is mapped to a guest manager receipt. The default guest-Manager receipt takes the SSID value from Configuration --> Guest Manager --> Receipt Options --> Site SSID name. Since, we can define only one SSID name in Guest Manager configuration,  it is not possible to use one guest manager receipt for two different SSIDs' (in different sites).
    We have to create a new guest-manager receipt and hardcode the guest SSID name for the respective site and link it to a newly created self-registration page.
    Configuration:
    I. Login to ClearPass Guest. Navigate to Configuration--> Receipts --> Templates. Click on the default GuestManager receipt template and click duplicate. A copy of Guest Manager receipt will be created. Highlight the copy and click on edit.
    There are two places where we have to change the guest SSID name in the receipt.
    1. WiFi Network Name (at the beginning of the receipt) &
    2. Connect to the wireless network (Step: 2 under Guest account and Wi-Fi Instructions). 
    1. To change WiFi Network Name, scroll down to the User-Account HTML and search for line that starts with "WiFi Network".
    We could see the below default code:
    <h3 style="font-family:{$g_email_font_family|escape};font-size:20px;line-height:20px;font-weight:bold;color:#{$g_email_network_text|escape};margin:0;padding:0;">
        WiFi Network: <span style="color:#{$g_email_network_name|escape};">{$site_ssid|escape}</span>
                    </h3>
    Replace the highlighted text in the above code with the guest SSID name as required. In the below example, I've used the guest SSID name as "Test".
    <h3 style="font-family:{$g_email_font_family|escape};font-size:20px;line-height:20px;font-weight:bold;color:#{$g_email_network_text|escape};margin:0;padding:0;">
        WiFi Network: <span style="color:#{$g_email_network_name|escape};">Test</span>
    2. To change the SSID name under Guest account and Wi-Fi instructions,  scroll down to the User-Account HTML and search for line that starts with "Connect to the wireless network".
    We could see the below default code:
    <li{$smarty.capture.li_1}>
        <img src="images/bullet_{counter}.gif" width="26" height="20" style="margin-bottom:-4px;" />Connect to the wireless network: <span style="color:#{$g_email_inst_bold|escape};"><strong><em>{$site_ssid|escape}</em></strong></span>
                </li>
    Replace the highlighted text in the above code with the guest SSID name as required. In the below example, I've used the guest SSID name as "Test".
    <li{$smarty.capture.li_1}>
        <img src="images/bullet_{counter}.gif" width="26" height="20" style="margin-bottom:-4px;" />Connect to the wireless network: <span style="color:#{$g_email_inst_bold|escape};"><strong>Test</strong></span>
                </li>
    After the above change, click 'save changes' at the bottom.
    II. a. Navigate to Configuration --> Pages --> Guest self-registration to create a new self registration page. If we plan to use same guest self-registration page, highlight the existing page and click on Duplicate. Select "Same as Original" for Parent radio button so that newly created form fields will be independent of the existing form fields. We can also use "Create a new self-registration form" hyperlink if we do not want to duplicate the existing page.
    b. After creating a new self registration page, highlight and click on Edit and click on "Advanced Editor". Navigate to Email delivery section. For the option, 'Email receipt'  choose the newly created guest manager receipt from the drop down.
    After the above changes, click 'save changes' at the bottom. 
    Verification
    1. Configuration --> Guest Manager that shows default value "Aruba" for SSID name under receipt options:
    2. Copy of the guest manager receipt template that shows modified SSID name:
    3. Duplicate of the default guest self-registration page:
    4. Email Delivery section:

    The only way I have found to change the device name in Profile Manager is to change it on the device itself, then wait for the updated info to reach PM.
    The option to "set the computer name to computer record name" will set the computer name to the name of a computer record that matches in Open Directory (based on MAC). This option would allow you to change the device name in Profile Manager in a round about way... change the computer record name in OD, wait for the change to make it's way to the computer, then back up to the Profile Manager. In my experience, this doesn't take too long.

  • E2000-Admin user name is changed to SSID name?

    I have manually configured the E2000 and set the admin password. When I was trying to log back in, I could not. I reset and reconfigured and set the password again. I still could not log in using "admin" and the password I set up. I thought I was losing my mind. Just on a hunch, I used the SSID name instead of "admin", then I entered the password - that worked. I am able to login, but I need the username to be admin, not the SSID. Has anyine else had this issue? Any way to change the administrator name back to admin?? Weird.
    Thank you,

    if you want the wireless passphrase and administrator password to be different, you will need to stop using Cisco connect and change the admin password by going to 192.1681.1--->administration--->router password. 
    I don't work for Cisco. I'm just here to help.

  • Connecting to Wireless AP with non-english SSID name

    Hi everyone
    I have a wireless AP with a non-english name ( The name is "IsolÈ coffee"), when I do scan for wireless network in Mac OS X it will not show this network and even if I use iStumbler it will show it but it will not able to connect to it
    if I use any Windows PC/Linux it can connect to the wireless AP with no issue
    is it possible in anyway to connect to this wireless AP (and NO I can't change the SSID name because I don't own it, it's a public AP)
    Thanks

    This post is a little old, i don't know if it's proper to add a reply. I just got the same problem here, and hope someone would work on it. The ssid is some chinese characters, and i don't have authority to change it. Same as what AhmadT mentionded, airport couldn't find anything, even if the ssid is typed in manually, it doesn't work.
    The only workaround i could find is to use the other wifi card (USB ones), and have it driven in WindowsXp which is running in VMWARE Fusion. so that i could access the wifi-router and internet in the vm-machine.

  • Computer name changes incrementally (1, 2, 3...)

    Dear Apple Friends,
    I have an issue that is affecting all the Macs on my home network: 3 MacBooks (wireless) and an iMac (hardwired) connected to an Apple Airport Extreme dual-band 802.11n/a/b/g 5Ghz/2Ghz wireless router. All the Macs are running Yosemite 10.10, I am running firmware v7.6.4 on the Airport (latest version). We have turned on Back to my Mac, File Sharing, and Screen Sharing (all are used pretty regularly) in the Sharing screen.
    So here is what is happening...
    All the Macs on our network are having their computer names changed with the suffix of (1), (2), all the way to 6 now.
    I have tried resetting our Airport router (turn off/on again) and that seems to stop it for a day but then it starts again.
    A few days ago, I did a factory reset on the Airport router per the instructions on the Apple website (hold down reset until it blinks constantly) to clear the router. Sure enough, the names started changing again after about a day.
    Sometimes, I will change the name back, and it will rename itself again automatically right after I change it. i.e. John's MacBook Pro => John's MacBook Pro (1)
    I have gone so far as to reboot every Mac on the network, shutting off the router, then turning it on again, and the issue returns. I am going to try and set up a DHCP reservation next and see if that helps.
    Has anyone else run across this? If so, is this a bug or is there something I'm missing here? Thanks you for your time.

    To "fix" I:
    First, I turned off networking which was WiFi in my circumstance.
    Next, I named my computer back to the original desired name in the "Sharing" system preference without the (n).
    Then I added a "--no-namechange" parameter in the /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.discoveryd.plist.
    Unloaded and loaded the deamon:
    sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.discoveryd.plist
    sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.discoveryd.plist
    Last, I reconnected to the network.
    Now when I connect to the network instead of getting something like below in the Console.app:
    "discoveryd: Basic Bonjour Changing computer name from <hostname> to <hostname> (2)"
    This appears in the Console.app:
    "discoveryd: Basic Bonjour Would have changed computer name from <hostname> to <hostname> (2), but it's disabled"
    I could not find a Yosemite bug filed https://bugreport.apple.com/, but this site helped me hack my solution:

  • WRT54G keeps resetting the SSID name and wireless security

    Over the past few weeks, my WRT54G (which I've had for about 18 months) has been resetting itself by changing the SSID name back to the default "linksys" and losing wireless security. I have updated the firmware.
    Any ideas of what is going on here?
    Thanks.

    After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch.  If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
    Routers seem to be sensitive to electrical surges and noise. This can cause them to loose their settings. You should keep your router plugged into a high quality surge suppressor with EMI/RFI filtering, such as the Belkin SurgeMaster Gold Series. A surge suppressor alone is not enough because surge suppression does not start until the voltage exceeds 330 volts. Alternatively, most UPS devices have both surge suppression and EMI/RFI filtering.
    If this does not prevent your router from "forgetting" its settings, then the router is malfunctioning, and it should be replaced. A router that forgets its settings is not secure.

  • WRT-610N Shopping but skeptical about Linksys products

    Shopping for a draft-n, simultaneous dual-band router with USB or Firewire storage link and excellent security features.  It must have gigabit LAN ports, a solid firewall, WPA2, 5GHz and 2.4Ghz that operate simultaneously, MAC address filtering, etc ...Like the WRT 610N.
    As far as features, the WRT 610N keeps coming up time and again.  However, the reviews and numerous forum posts indicate a product that has a number of flaws.  These reviews and forum posts have thus far kept me from pulling the trigger on the 610.
    Has Linksys fixed the reported problems with this unit?  Is there another alternative to this router that has these features?  Another concern is the throughput.  I've used Linksys products before and have never experienced problems like the ones I've seen described about the WRT 610N. 
    Any insight would be appreciated as I would like to buy a router immediately.  Thanks in advance.
    (Mod note: Edited for guideline compliance. Thank you.)

    WRT610N Router is a one of the good N-Series Router...It will not give you any problem if setup in a proper way...
    The features like Dual Band(2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) , firewall, WPA2, MAC address filtering also present in the other N-Series Router like....WRT110,WRT160N,WRT320N....etc 

  • WRT-610N - Slow LAN Speeds

    Is anybody else experiencing slow data transfer speeds via the linksys wrt-610n ethernet ports?  I stream HD video from my pc to a seagate theater+ media hub that is connected to my television.  I had a D-Link router that had 10/100 ethernet ports but recently upgraded to the wrt-610n because of it's gigabit ports and the fact that it had dual band capabilities (i have the dual band gamer adapter for another media hub one floor up).
    anyway, when i had the D-Link hooked up, I was able to stream HD video perfectly via a wired network connection.  both audio and video were perfect.  since i hooked up the linksys, i now get perfect video for 30 minutes or so and then it starts to get choppy.  after about 45 - 50 minutes it's so choppy it's almost unwatchable.
    since the only thing that's changed is the router, i'm assuming that's the culprit.  does that make any sense to anybody else?  i can't believe it, simply because the ethernet ports on this router are "faster" than the last one ... anyways ... any help would be greatly appreciated.

    porty -
    I was aware that the NIC in the seagate wasn't a gigabit card.  My issue is that the linksys router, for some reason, isn't transferring as fast as my older D-Link 10/100 router.  It seems like there is something wrong when two wired devices try to transfer data from one to the other.
    Anyways, thanks for the response ... I appreciate it.

  • WRT 610N USB file sharing

    I am trying to use the USB option for the WRT 610N. The computer with linksys advisor and the one that contols the router is running WXP SP3. I try using linksys websites instructions, but when I enter the address 192.168.1.1, I don't see any subdirectories to select. I am loged in under linksys_media 5 Ghz, the USB drive is not connected to the router, does anyone know what isgoing on? I also have another computer with WVista SP1, but when I try to select the WRT610n it asks me to login and the login fails, my other two computers with xp never ask for a login, how do I get around the login thing?

    My WRT610N is also not playing nice with both my Macs & Windows computers.
    I managed to set up disk sharing the first time, but I could not connect to the Internet. After calling tech support, I can now connect to the Internet (after doing a reset on the router: Holding the hard reset button down with a paperclip for 1 min, and then disconnecting the power from the router for 10 secs), but hard disk sharing no longer works. 
    I have set up shares, but I do not see the server name in Finder. Also, I cannot access the server through a web browser (i.e. by typing in 192.168.1.1).
    Reading the replies on some discussion threads, it seems to me that this function in the router is unreliable at best. Does anyone have a solution for this? 

  • Simultaneous operation on WRT 610N

    Ok so I just got a WRT 610N today and for the life of me I just can't figure out how to access both the 2.4Ghz and the 5GHz bands from my Dell XPS Studio 13 laptop or is that a no no. Also how do I go about sharing files between my laptop and PC which is wired to the router? Thanks for any advice.

    Dual bands mean if two systems are using it one on 2.4 and the other on 5.0 it doens't slow down one another
    there is a way on macs to use both google it and see

    Help needed. I have a 3TB external hard drive partitioned into 1TB's. I used one partition as backup for the main computer hard drive. But now it is greyed out as shown in the disk utility and its name changed, i dont know how that happened, i tried verifying and repairing it but had no luck. I also tried mounting and unmounting it but still no solution. Anyone to help please?

    Looks bad. I would strongly advise backing up the stuff on the other two partitions as soon as possible in case the rest of the drive goes wrong.
    Beyond that, Disk Utility has limited abilities to repair disks, DiskWarrior uses a different approach and might, emphasis might be more successful. It has certainly done the job for me in the past when Disk Utility could not.

    Please read my question carefully, this is, I think, a question for the experts. It's not the usual name change question.
    When I setup my new MacBook Pro, something slipped by me and my computer was named First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro (using my real first and last name).
    I changed the computer name in Preferences/Sharing to a new name and Preferences/Accounts to just be Mike. I can right click on my account name, choose advanced, and see that everything looks right.
    However, If I do a scan of my network with my iPhone using the free version of IP Scanner, it lists my computer as First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro! And it lists the user as First-Last.
    So even though another Mac just sees my new computer name, and my home folder is Mike, somewhere in the system the original setup with my full name is still stored. And it's available on a network scan. So my full name might show up at a coffee shop.
    Can I fully change the name without doing a complete re-install of Lion and all my apps?

    One thought... you said the iPhone displayed your computer's old name? I think that you must have used the iPhone with this computer before you changed the name. So no one else's iPhone should display your full name unless that iPhone had previously connected to your Mac. For example, I did this exact same change, and I use the Keynote Remote app to connect with my MacBook Pro. It would no longer link with my MacBook Pro under the old name, and I found that I had to unlink and then create a new link under the new name. So the answer to your question is, there is nothing you need to do on the Mac, but rather the phone, and no other phone will display your full name.

  • Logical system name changes

  • Batch rename, name changes after frame 99

    Hi, I put a folder into bridge to do a batch rename and called the text MILAN/SYRIA and gave for first number 00.
    After frame 99 the name changed to a weird  Adobe Bridge Batch Rename Temp 10037
    Which you can see better in the RAW windows, the 99 and the following one.
    Photoshop doesn't like to open a name like that, can't blame her.
    of course I strongly suppose that I should have given 3 digits in Batch rename, and l am looking for your confirmation, and while I am here
    why was my card full at 0485 pictures when a folder I think takes as many as 9999, how do you finish a folder if your card is full?
    i suppose you change card and you keep going with the same folder? Sorry about the camera question, couldn't keep it, thanks dona

    no,no, i started with 00 two digits only, batch rename changed to 623  after i put the folder back in just in order to take the screenshot, i dont know why but that always happens if i put the folder back in after usage, but i do know for life now that if I am going to take over 100 shots, which is most of the time, i should start with 001 or 000.
    See, this is the first number that was given to the first file,  01,WHICH actually became  00, i don't have it here.
    So it rest to know where is "Preserve file name " in current metadata, and would that make it possible  to revert to the original CR2 number?
    Why not to change name straight from the new name? thanks

  • Outlook does not connect to Exchange 2013 after name change due to marriage

    When launching Outlook and clicking through the setup wizard to create a new profile, Outlook auto-discovers the correct email alias. When establishing a connection it successfully checks network connectivity and successfully searches the email settings.
    When it attempts to logon to the mail server the error comes up.
    "The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action."
    Clicking "Check Name" gives the error:
    "The name cannot be resolved. The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action."
    The same result occurs with a manual setup.
    We are running Exchange Server 2013. User workstations are running Outlook 2013 on Windows 7 Pro. All updates have been applied as of March 31, 2015.
    All name changes have been made in AD and Exchange. Old aliases and new aliases are set in Exchange. Offline Address books are updated daily. The local profile and registry settings have been updated on the workstation and the user is successfully logging
    into the profile. The issue is only with Outlook 2013. User can access mail through OWA and ActiveSync on their mobile device.
    Logging the user into another workstation and running the wizard returns the same results, which rules out the possible problem being with the workstation.

    Hi,
    According to your description, I understand that failed auto-configure Outlook with error “The name cannot be resolved. The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable…”, however OWA works fine.
    If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
    Are all account or any special user experience this question?
    If OWA works fine, it indicate that the mailbox database is mounted, and mailbox works well.
    I notice that you have changed the account name before issue arise, because external access, the client locates the Autodiscover service on the Internet by using the primary SMTP domain address from the user's email address.
