WRT310N AP Only

Can the WRT310N be set as an access point only? Other vendors provide this capability by disabling the NAT and routing on the WAN interface and allowing you to specify a local LAN IP on the WAN interface.

Here is quick guide to configure wireless router as access point only, see whether can help you..

Increasing Range in WRT310N

I've been using the WRT310N and noticed that the range is quite poor--I've noticed this in two different houses.
Any suggestions for improving the range? How about changing the advanced settings? What to change them to?
I've tried using an old repeater but it is a G repeater so it seems to actually make things worse i.e. a remote device will work slightly better with an unrepeated N signal than a repeated G (router is a in mixed mode).
I've currently got the router set to the 40 MHz radio band.
Thanks for any help.

Seems as if they have labeled those fields pretty confusing on the v1 router. Make sure you have the latest firmware...
The WRT310N uses only the 2.4 GHz band. There are 11-13 channels on that band with different frequencies.
20 MHz is the standard width of a single channel.
In 40 MHz mode it uses two channels at the same time: the standard channel and the additional wide channel.
However, as I wrote before, 40 MHz, i.e. two channels occupy pretty much 2/3 of the total 2.4 GHz band (only channels 1, 6 and 11 don't overlap). This means you get a lot of interference with 40 MHz bandwidth in places where you have a lot of other access points.
Try 20 MHz with different standard channels or use try "Auto". See if it makes a difference.

Macbook Pro connects only at 54Mbps to WRT310N

Hi,
I have a Macbook Pro Intel Core i7 and it's only connecting to my WRT310N router at wireless-G speeds. MenuMeters shows that it's connected to the network at 54Mpbs. I have a mixed mode environment and need wireless G and N at home.
What do I need to change in order to connect at wireless N speeds to the router? I currently have the router set at all the default settings with respect to channels, band, etc. Security is set to WPA Personal.
the MBP works fine at 300Mbps at work, so the MBP is working fine.
Thanks!

802.11n speeds higher than 54 Mbit/s require WPA2 with AES encryption. WPA Personal with TKIP only allows speeds up to 54 Mbit/s. Make sure the router and the Mac are configured to use WPA2 with AES only.

Xbox 360 Wireless N Adapter Only Connects to 802.11G on WRT310N

I recently purchased the Xbox 360 Wireless N Adapter. I plugged it into my Xbox (which is current on updates, including the adapter drivers), and am able to successfully connect to my WRT310Nv1 using the "Mixed" mode, but only at 802.11G, not 802.11N. If I force my router into "Wireless-N Only" mode, the Xbox is able to see the signal, but will not connect. The WRT310Nv1 has the most recent firmware (v1.0.09) installed, and I am using WPA2 Personal, AES encryption.
I've scoured the internet and haven't been able to find a solution yet. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I have an Xbox 360 Slim with the built-in Wireless N and I have the EXACT same problem. I also tried forcing my router into Wireless-N only mode and the Xbox will not connect. It will only connect in "mixed" mode but at 802.11G. This is very frustrating.
If any one can help us out it would be much appreciated!!

WRT310N: Help with DMZ/settings (firmware 1.0.09) for wired connection

Hello. I have a WRT310N and have been having a somewhat difficult time with my xbox 360's connection. I have forwarded all the necessary ports (53, 80, 88, 3074) for it to run, and tried changing MTU and what-not.
I don't know if I have DMZ setup incorrectly, or if it's my settings.
Setup as follows:
PCX2200 modem connected via ethernet to WRT310N.
The WRT310N has into ethernet port 1 a WAP54G, and then upstairs (so that my Mother's computer can get a strong signal) I have another WAP54G that I believe receives its signal from the downstairs 54G.
In the back of the WRT310N, I have my computer connected via ethernet port 3, and my Xbox 360 connected via ethernet port 4.
Now, I first figured I just have so many connections tied to the router and that is the reason for being so slow. However, when I unplug all the other ethernet cords and nothing is connected wirelessly, except for my Xbox connected to ethernet port 4, it is still poor. Also, with everything connected (WAP54G and other devices wirelessly) I get on my PC and run a speedtest. For the sake of advice, my speedtests I am running on my PC are (after 5 tests) averagely 8.5 Mbps download, and 1.00 Mbps upload, with a ping of 82ms.
Here is an image of the results:
http://www.speedtest.net][IMG]http://www.speedtest.net/result/721106714.png
Let me add a little more detail of my (192.168.1.1) settings for WRT310N.
For starters, my Father's IT guy at his workplace set up this WRT310N and WAP54G's. So some of these settings may be his doing. I just don't know which.
"Setup" as Auto-configurations DHCP. I've added my Xbox's IP address to the DHCP reservation the IP of 192.168.1.104. This has (from what I've noticed) stayed the same for days.
MTU: Auto, which stays at 1500 when I check under status.
Advanced Routing: NAT routing enabled, Dynamic Routing disabled.
Security: Disabled SPI firewall, UNchecked these: Filter Anonymous Internet Requests, Multicast, and Internet NAT redirection.
VPN passthrough: All 3 options are enabled (IPSec, PPTP, L2TP)
Access Restrictions: None.
Applications and Gaming: Single port forwarding has no entries. Port Range Forwarding I have the ports 53 UDP/TCP, 88 UDP, 3074 UDP/TCP, and 80 TCP forwarded to IP 192.168.1.104 enabled. (192.168.1.104 is the IP for my xbox connected via ethernet wired that is in DHCP reserved list)
Port Range Triggering: It does not allow me to change anything in this page.
DMZ: I have it Enabled. This is where I am a bit confused. It says "Source IP Address" and it has me select either "Any IP address" or to put entries to the XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX to XXX fields. I have selected use any IP address. Then the source IP area, it says "Destination:" I can do either "IP address: 192.168.1.XXX" or "MAC address:" Also, under MAC Address, it says DHCP Client Table and I went there and saw my Xbox under the DHCP client list (It shows up only when the Xbox is on) and selected it.
Under QoS: WMM Enabled, No acknowledgement disabled.
Internet Access Priority: Enabled. Upstream Bandwith I set it to Manual and put 6000 Kbps. I had it set on Auto before, but I changed it. I have no idea what to put there so I just put a higher number.
Then I added for Internet Access Priority a Medium Priority for Ethernet Port 4 (the port my xbox is plugged into).
Administration: Management: Web utility access: I have checked HTTP, unchecked HTTPS.
Web utility access via Wireless: Enabled. Remote Access: Disabled.
UPnp: Enabled.
Allow Users to Configure: Enabled.
Allow users to Disable Internet Access: Enabled.
Under Diagnostics, when I try and Ping test 192.168.1.104 (xbox when on and connected to LIVE), I get:
PING 192.168.1.104 (192.168.1.104): 24 data bytes
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
--- 192.168.1.104 data statistics ---
5 Packets transmitted, 0 Packets received, 100% Packet loss
Also, when I do Traceroute Test for my Xbox's IP, I just keep getting:
traceroute to 192.168.1.104 (192.168.1.104), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
1 * * * 192.168.1.1 Request timed out.
2 * * * 192.168.1.1 Request timed out.
As for the Wireless Settings, it is all on the default settings with Wi-Fi Protected setup Enabled.
To add, I have tried connecting my modem directly to the Xbox and my connection is much improved. I have no difficulty getting the NAT open, for it seems my settings are working for that. Any help with these settings would be VERY much appreciated.

I own 2 of these routers (one is a spare) with the latest firmware and I have been having trouble with them for over a year. In my case the connection speed goes to a crawl and the only way to get it back is to disable the SPI firewall. Rebooting helps for a few minutes, but the problem returns. All of the other fixes recommended on these forums did not help. I found out the hard way that disabling the SPI Firewall also closes all open ports ignoring your port forwarding settings. If you have SPI Firewall disabled, you will never be able to ping your IP from an external address. Turn your SPI Firewall back on and test your Ping.

WRT310N Playstation 3 Slow Download speed and general lag

Hey guys, I just recently bought the WRT310N and got both of my computers working with it. One is wired directly into the router, while the other is running off wireless. My Playstation 3 is able to connect to the router but I am getting an extremely slow connection speed.
Right now, both PC's get about 6.4-6.5 Mbps download speed while my Playstation is anywhere from 600 Kbs to 1.2 Mbps. I have plugged in my Playstation 3 directly into the modem and got a speed of 3.2 Mbps and was downloaded a demo very fast, but I do not recieve anywhere near those results when using it wireless.
Any advice? I have tried opening the ports, but that only seemed to slow it down. A couple of days ago I opened the ports specific to the game NHL 10 and for two days I was getting such a good speed in the game that it felt like I was playing offline, which was great! Then this morning, it just seemed do a complete 180. Now when I play the game I get an extreme amount of lag, and my other games like CoD4 get random lag spikes. Like, I'll be running and I get a lag spike which seems to happen fairly consistently every minute or so.
Any advice? Should I try opening the ports again or what?

I think you need to adjust the wireless settings of your Router, The wireless settings on your Router must have been setup to its default that's the reason you are receiving low signal strength on your PS3.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select TKIP...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

How to re-flash a bricked WRT310N back to the correct firmware version

I accidently flashed my WRT310N version 1.0 with version 2.0 firmware. After which the router was dead as a doornail.
After a frustrating 3 hours of reading forums, following over 11 tutorials, and being 1 second away from throwing my WRT310N at the wall, I finally fixed it.
I performed this fix on a Windows 7 32-bit PC. My provider is Comcast.
STEP 1:
Visit http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/wireless/lbc/WRT310N and click on the DOWNLOADS tab.
Select Version 1.0 firmware from the drop-down menu.
Download the appropriate firmware. At this time this was posted, the version is 1.0.10 build 2.
SAVE the firmware to your desktop.
Download TFTP2.exe and SAVE it to your desktop.
Firmware
09/09/2010
Ver.1.0.10 build 2
Download 3.08 MB
STEP 2:
Open up a command prompt by going to the start menu, type "cmd" and hit enter.
You should see C:\Users\abc> (where "abc" is your username).
Type in ping -t 192.168.1.1 -w 10 but DON'T HIT ENTER yet. Just have it ready so you can press enter later.
STEP 3:
Launch TFTP2.exe located on your desktop.
In the "server" field type: 192.168.1.1
Leave the "password" field blank.
In the "file" field, browse to the firmware file you previously saved to your desktop.
Set the "program retry" to 10 times. (any number above 10 is fine)
DON'T HIT UPGRADE YET. Just have it ready so you can press upgrade later.
STEP 4:
Go to your Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network Connections.
Right-click on your active "Local Area Connection" and go to "Properties"
Highlight the "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" item and then click "Properties"
Change the automatic settings and set a static IP of 192.168.1.2. Hit OK and back out of the network settings.
STEP 5:
If your router is farther away from your computer, try to pull it within reach of the mouse and keyboard. You will need to multi-task once pinging/flashing begins.
Make sure you only have one ethernet cable connected from your PC to the router. The cable should be connected to any one of the 4 blue ports. I connected mine to port 1. DO NOT CONNECT IT TO THE YELLOW INTERNET PORT on the router.
With the router in your hand, hold down the reset button for 30 seconds until the port 1 light goes out then immediately disconnect the power while still holding down the reset button. DO NOT LET GO OF THE RESET BUTTON!
WAIT 30 more seconds with the power disconnected. (Do not let go of the reset button)
PLUG the power back in and WAIT another 30 seconds. After that, let go of the reset button. You should have held the reset button for a total of 90 seconds. This will wipe the router's nvram.
STEP 6:
PREPARE FOR FLASHING!
Bring up the command prompt window that you prepared earlier. You should still see the ping command that you entered in Step 2. Now, hit ENTER to start pinging the router continuously. You will probably see a bunch of "request timed out" responses.
Bring up the TFT2.exe window that you prepared in step 2. Press UPGRADE so it can begin communicating with the router. Make sure you set at least 10 retries.
As quickly as possible, go back to your router and HOLD the reset button and disconnect the power. You don't need to wait 30 seconds...5 seconds is enough. While stil holding the reset button down, plug the power back into the router and keep an eye on the command prompt and TFT2.exe windows.
If the command prompt has successfully pinged the router, TFT2.exe will begin to flash it and very soon it will show a success message below the progress bar. If you still can't successfully ping the router, close and restart TFT2.exe using the same settings and try disconnecting/reconnecting the router's power again as mentioned in the paragraph above. You may want to try holding the reset button down longer than 5 seconds. I was able to get this to work on the FIRST TRY. Hopefully it works for you.
WHAT TO DO AFTER SUCCESSFULLY RE-FLASHING YOUR ROUTER
Now that your router is has the proper firmware, go back to your adapter's settings (mentioned in step 4), delete the static IP and set it back to the default automatic settings.
Plug your cables back in and don't forget to plug the ethernet cable from your modem to the yellow internet port on your WRT310N.
Just to be safe, you should probably do these three things:
"Recycle" the power to your cable modem by holding down the reset for 60 seconds or disconnect it from the power outlet for 60 seconds.
Reset your router by holding the reset button for 30 seconds. (No need to disconnect the power while holding it.)
Restart your computer.
SUCCESS!! Good luck.

I tried it alot of times, during the last 2 days! Not working at all..

Situation:
Linksys WRT310n V1
Power LED on solid
LAN Ports LED on solid
Wireless LED off
NO RESPONCE AT ALL!
PC hardware tested (only one is needed):
Vista laptop gigibit card.
Vista desktop gigibit card.
Software to download / install:
Installed vista TFTP client from control pannel
download TFTP from linksys
download firmware from linksys ( Proper firmware for v1 hardware!!!! )
Method and Procedure:
Plug in the power and the lan cable to the computer.
Open a dos prompt start pinging the roughter.
ping 192.168.1.1 -t -w 5
No responce is to be expected at this point.
On the computer open your network connections folder
Disable ALL OTHER network interfaces! (ALL OTHER)
open the settings of the lan interfacess.
disable (uncheck) all options other then tcp/ip v4
set the manual address of the card to
192.168.1.10 ip
255.255.255.0 sub
192.168.1.1 gate
192.168.1.1 dns
now in the network card properties above configure the network card for 10 half duplex speed mine was called line speed and duplex.
save and close.
NOTE: Do not release the reset button untill told to! You will need to hold it in for a long time!
NOTE: when holding the reset for 30 seconds, the LAN port may flash around 5 and 15 seconds, do not pull the power until the lan is off around 25 to 35 seconds of holding
On the rougher, with the power on and the lan cable connected.
Hold the reset button for 30 secconds you will see the lan cable port turn off arround this point pull the power.
Hold the reset and wait 10 seconds.
Hold the reset and power up for 30 seconds until the lan cable turns off around then
Ok so with the power off you can release the reset button.
from now own you can start from here with the reset if first attempts of sending the new firmware to the linksys fails.
Open a NEW dos prompt.
type tftp -i 192.168.1.1 put C:\linksysfirmware.bin
if you hit enter it will fail ... so let it time out... if you did type it again and wait to hit enter.
while holding in the reset button power on the roughter release the reset after 5 secconds.
press enter on the dos prompt. you may send this a couple of time arround now it took three tryes to get the "SENT COMPLETE" message from tftp! you will also magicaly see your pings from the other window start working! if working WAIT 2 min before doing anything next.
If you fail for more then 1 min, unplug your roughter and start the send firmware part.
ok so it's pinging thats all? yes!
ok so you waited 2 min, now pull the power normaly and wait 10 secconds return the power with our the restart! start it normaly.
after 20 secconds the roughter should be able to ping ... nothing else yet!
use the Linksys TFTP program now ... and install the full firmware to the roughter!
when the message says firmware complete wait two min then pull the power and reboot.
DONE!
Solved!

My WRT310n won't work with my Appl Mac Mini and iPhone

Previously I had a weak signal using my WRT54G router. I usually got one or two bars in the house on my iPhone or Mac Mini. I recently "upgraded" to the WRT310N and now I cannot connect wirelessly at all on the mini and only one bar on the iPhone even with the phone inches away from the wireless router. I know these are both G devices, but I didn't expect performance to be worse than with my $49 54G router. Any suggestions?

Are your wireless settings still on auto? Try using the wide radio band with standard channels 1, 6 or 11.
The box said windows xp or better... So I installed Linux!

WRT610N - Connections slows - must Release/Renew IP???? Help - Also with WRT310N

Hello!
Here is a problem summary: I just replaced my old WRT4G with a new WRT610N.   This never happened with my WRT54G. At reboot of the WRT610N - I get ~6.2mbps (DSL) download speed like I have always gotten on my old router and this is the speed I'm paying for. After 24 hours - I only get ~ 4 mbps download and after 48 hours it usually down to about 1.8 mbps......the problem is solved by going into the 610's Status Page and Releasing then Renewing the IP......it's better again and back to 6.2 for another 24 hours or so.......I also had a 310n that did the same thing and I returned it for the 610n only to have the exact same problem.....
Details:
CAT 6 Cable
Mounted vertically for better heat control
- When it slowed down - I have a fan configured to cool it - cooled it so that everything was cool - not even warm to the touch - nothing changed and actually got worse - so heat doesn't seem to be an issue...
- Primarily using 2 Wired connections and occasional wireless - but primarily this is over wired connections....
- Firmware is most recent firmware as that is the way it came out of the box with the most recent firmware already installed
- Had the exact same issue with the WRT310N
- I've debugged it to the IP release/renew fixing it.......My connection comes through a Actiontec Qwest DSL modem/router but never had this problem with the WRT54G - nothing has changed there, same setup.
- When it was slow - I bypassed the 610nand and speeds were normal - hooked it back through the router and slow until I release/renew the IP....
This is really weired and frustrating......If I can't fix it soon - I'll have to switch to another brand.....the only work around I can see is a daily release/renew - but I don't seen any programming for that feature.....
Thoughts!!!!   THANKS!

Thanks for the suggestion. I've already tried that and I'm at 1300 now.....also did the ping test and had it set at 1352.....but no differences.... I chated with Linksys yesterday and they told me take it back to the store and get another one..... That won't solve this problem because I think it is a problem that linksys is simply ignoring as an issue....to have 2 routers do the same thing and both routers to be bad.....that tells me they have a problem in quality control or they don't know what's wrong......   I have one more work around I'm going to try which is to move over my dsl modem and let the linksys act as the modem.......my neighbor has it that way and his seems to work better.....we'll see....!   I'm not hold much hope and I'll probably end up returning it and just use my old G router or try another brand......

WRT600N WRT310N PPTP will not work in some cases

Hello All,
This is more of a warning than a request for help. If you are using the WRT600N or the WRT310N and you need to use PPTP VPN connections, these are not the routers for you!
The PPTP support only work with MS PPTP Servers, it does not work with other VPN routers such as Nortel Contivity's and others.
Please read other threads in this forum, in most cases the wireless connectivity does not work properly, and the router is prone to freeze, requiring it to be hard booted often.

Just to update everyone... Firmware Version 1.01.36 Build 3 does not fix the PPTP issues with the WRT600N router.

WRT310N v1 and MacBook Pro wireless issues

Hi all,
I've been having ongoing wireless issues with my WRT310N v1. I have a macbook pro (early 2009) with mac os 10.5.8. I have cable internet, with a DHCP connection. I have a computer and PS3 hardwired through the router, and they work flawlessly. The wireless, however, has never been what it should be. Internet loads slow, even though the connection speed is pretty good (not as fast as hardwired devices, but close).
Here are the wireless settings:
wireless config: manual
network mode: mixed (the Macbook can get wireless-n, by iPhone is only g)
Radio band: standard 20 mhZ
wide channel: 9 (can't change this with this config, unless i go wide channel at 40 mhZ)
standard channel: 11
SSID broadcast: enabled
I've got WPA2 security, with AES encryption. I've set the Beacon interval to 75, and left the Fragmentation and RTS thresholds at default. The firewall is activated, and "filter anonymous internet requests" is disabled.I'm wondering if I'm losing so much speed by broadcasting a mixed signal, instead of just G or just N. I've tried transmitting only in Wireless-N, but there's no noticeable change (and the iPhone can't connect at all).
Any input at all would be really appreciated. I'm hoping I don't have to fork over $30 to linksys just to get tech support. Thanks in advance.
Solved!

Well its not necessary to power cycle your router everytime whenever you make any changes on your Router. But if you re-configure all the settings on your from scratch, then its better to power cycle your router.

WRT310N as an access point?

I currently have a Linksys WRT310N as my primary router/wireless device. I am not getting coverage in my entire home. I was considering purchasing the Linksys E4200 and using the WRT310N as an access point in another part of my house to extend my wireless network. From all of the research and reading I have been doing, it seems that I must connect the WRT310N to the E4200 if I want to use it as an access point. Is this the only way? I have no way to connect the WRT310N to the soon-to-be E4200 unless I run an Ethernet cable across the floor. My goal is to use the WRT310N as a wireless access point without having it wired to the E4200, if at all possible. If this is not, what other way could I go about doing this type of setup?

A repeater will cut the bandwidth in half under ideal circumstances. In reality, it will be worse. If you transfer from A through the repeater R to your base station B, any transmission first has to go from a A to R and then from R to B. As R and B both operate on the same channel any transmission will interfere, i.e. when A talks to R, B cannot talk. If R talks to B, A cannot talk. Thus you only have half the bandwidth if there is no other interference.
Of course with wireless it happens occasionally that transmissions interfere, e.g. if A and B decide at almost the same time to send a transmission to R there will be interference and retransmissions leading to additional loss.
The bridge doesn't do this. A bridge works like a wireless client. Anything is transmitted only once.

Roadrunner + WRT310N

Hi I've been using my WRT310N for a while now, and it's been great but it's not working with my internet right now. I just got roadrunner cable internet literally 10 min. ago and my router isn't working with it for some reason. I'm directly connected to my modem through an ethernet cable and that's the only way i can access the internet. I've tried a few times to connect the modem to the router and the router to my computer using an ethernet cable. But it hasn't been working, when i switch it back to a direct connection the internet is still there and working. Does anyone know what I need to do? I talked to a tech rep from roadrunner online. They told me I need to switch the router mode to DHCP or PPPoE or something. I'm not quite sure. But any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you!

Connect the Modem to the router on the Internet Port and the computer to the router on the ethernet port...Reset the router for 30 seconds,power cycle the router...Open the setup page of the router by typing 192.168.1.1 in the address bar...On the main setup page the ""Internet Connection Type"" should be on ""Obtain IP Automatically - DHCP “. Click on the Save Settings button.Now click on the sub tab ""MAC address clone"".Click on enable....Click Clone & click save settings.Check WAN Ip on Status page of router .... If getting Valid Ip .... try going onlineIf not ... power cycle for 4-5 minutes & then again check the WAN Ip address .....

Does the WRT310N support jumbo frames?

Greetings one and all.
Does anyone know if the WRT310N Wireless-N Gigabit Router support jumbo frames? I have a Buffalo Linkstation Mini NAS that contains a Gigabit Ethernet card. The NAS can support jumbo frames provided the switch it's connected to has the capability.
Thanks

I did a live sesion with the tech support desk
The WRT320N does have hardware support for Jumbo Frames.
Only on the Firmware (Software Side) it's not enabled yet what can easy be done by the Linksys/Cisco development team.
