WRT350N access using telnet, fixing DHCP reservation issue

Hi,
Got my WRT350N recently and ran into a small bug.
Somehow I could not set a DHCP reservation for a specific machine/address. For other machines it worked perfectly.
I found out that I can telnet to the device:
$ telnet 192.168.1.1 33
# uname -a
Linux 2.6.12-arm1 #1 Thu Dec 13 14:07:15 CET 2007 armv5tejl unknown
That's handy, you know what you are running on the WRT350N!
Then I found with
# nvram show
that the machine failing in DHCP reservation was already listed as first item in variable:
static_dhcp_clients=eljo:280:000874AB0846:1:joel:192.168.1.12:0015F23B916E:1
Using 'nvram set' I removed the 'eljo' entry and I could fill it in again correctly using the web interface!
So I'm a happy user ;-)

I have the same issue on Solaris 8 with a Linksys WRT54G firmware 3.01.3. I can access the internet using the Netscape 4.7 browser but, only by using http://ip.addr. nslookup works in forward lookups e.g. www.google.com. and sometimes by ip.addr.
snoop -d le0 shows
hostname DNS R Error: 3(Name Error)
I removed dhcp configurations and set a static route on the linksys router under advanced routing and plumbed the interface. I still have the same problem.
I am using a Sparc20.
I checked resolv.conf and it is correct. I checked /etc/nsswitch.conf, it uses hosts: files dns.
defaultrouter is the same as yours.

This is a typical response from the manufacturer. Did you try the fix that Lawrence mentioned. When Apple or any other phone manufacturer update phone software, they have the latest Bluetooth installed. It is usually the problem with the radio manufacturer that they devices are using the older Bluetooth protocols. You can try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581 and see if anything there helps, but generally it requires the radio manufacturer to update their firmware.

Apple support asked me to reset my settings to fix my iMessage issue, now the issue is that I can't get past the sync to iTunes message on my phone. My phone is stuck in reset and I can't even use it!

Everytime I restart, force quit mail, restart in safe mode, and regular mode, when I reopen the Mail application, it goes right to the Upgrade Mail database screen and goes right back to the same spot it has been since I downloaded Mountain Lion and initislly opened the Mail app. It only goes to the Upgrade option, or can quit and Upgrade later. It is stuck in the middle of the Upgrade of my mail database...this blows!!!

You could try booting into Safe Mode to see if that will help. And "Repair Permissions" in Disk Utility.
Have you got Keychain set to open on Login or is it attempting to open on it's own.

DHCP lease issue for PPPoA sessions when using external DHCP server

We used to use the Cisco 7206VXR's DHCP server to hand out leases, and when we lost several hundred customers on a link, the router was able to get them up and connected with an IP address within minutes.
We switched over to using an external DHCP server so we could have more control over some extended DHCP options, as well as to aggregate all our DHCP traffic. Now, if we lose 100 DSL customers all at once, it takes 90 minutes for them to come up again. They come in a few at at time, until all 100 are back.
We see waves of RADIUS auth's in our RADIUS log (RADIUS has always been handled externally, so nothing changed there), and continuous streams of DHCP requests come in and DHCP offers go out. What seems to be happening is that a whole bunch of modems auth with RADIUS, request IP addresses, but for whatever reason, timeout when they don't all get their lease, drop the connection, and retry the whole process all over again. We purchased a dedicated DHCP server, thinking that was the bottleneck, but performance is about identical.
Here's our config:
interface Virtual-Template1
ip unnumbered Loopback11
ip helper-address a.b.c.d
peer default ip address dhcp
ppp authentication pap
ppp ipcp dns a.b.c.d e.f.g.h
ppp ipcp unique-address
My questions are:
- is there any performance issue with using an external DHCP server and PPPoA
- is there anything in our config that would cause such delays
Frank

GP:
No, the DHCP server is not across a WAN link; there is only a 10/100 switch in between the router and the DHCP server. There are no dropped packets on the interface.
I ended up opening a case with TAC about this issue. While I had the helper address configured in the template, TAC recommeneded that I specify the actual DHCP server with the command "ip dhcp-server x.x.x.x". This eliminates the DHCPBROADCAST (which I've verified). Perhaps the DHCP relay portion of the Cisco router is performed serially, instead of in parallel. By that, I mean, the next DHCPBROADCAST won't go out until there is the response for the first DHCPBROADCAST.
I'll know in a few days when we test again.

E4200 : DHCP Reservation not showing anything !?!

Hello,
When I'm in Setup -> Basic Setup -> click on DHCP Reservation, I don't see all entries I've created earlier but computers that connect still have the correct IP address on the network; I don't know if I can create additional entries if nothing appears, what should I do ?
When I go to Status -> Local Network -> DHCP Client Table the list is blank but some computers are connected to the network
I'm using firmware 1.0.01 build 10 Feb 21, 2011, language = English, Firefox 4.0.1
Rebooting the router doesn't change anything, I can't see connected LAN equipment and DHCP Reservation is empty despite the fact I've created entries.
Together with the "Access Restriction" which doesn't allow to block a computer from 10pm => 8am unless you create 2 rules + various issues with attached USB + 2.4Ghz signal that is far from optimal (never able to achieve more than 144-N-Mbps) and I ask myself if I will not contact the store where I purchased this unit and ask a refund (and buy something else from another brand...)
It's the first time I buy a Linksys equipment and very disappointed, support doesn't seem to be very serious
Thanks for any suggestion
PS: Where do I ask for a refund or something similar in Linksys site ? If nothing exists, I'll let the store where I purchased this unit now about the present post

Thanks for your answers
Today it works and I didn't reboot, restart or reset anything
I can see DHCP Reservation list + DHCP Clients Table
Same PC, same network, nothing restarted, reset, changed or added and now it works
Weird
I would not like to re-create everything in the DHCP Reservation List as I have 17 entries so far (and going to add 1 more...)
Apparently, if I can't see my list, I have to wait a few days

WRT610N DHCP Reservation Client Table empty, please help!

Even though there are about 15 devices connected to the router right now there is literally nothing showing up in the DHCP Reservation list, and when I add something manually it will not come up either. I have tried reinstalling the firmware and even setting the options to default. Has anyone had this problem before? I have checked the forms and saw nothing on this subject.
This has been an issue since I bought the device, however the DHCP list did show up a couple of times when reinstalling the firmware but would go away after ~20 minutes of ussage. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Surprise surprise. After being explict with Tech Support, having them repeatedly confirm that someone will be calling me today, I got nothing. There was not a peep whatsoever from them. I guess I kind of suspected that since they had done all that they could think of to resolve the problem yesterday. I'm just another disgruntled customer to them.
Hence, I took matters into my own hands to get my DHCP Reservation list back and to prevent it from disappearing in the future. I also took some very good advise from chrizburnz. The steps provided below are exhaustive and probably 50% unnecessary. The problem is knowing which steps are crucial and which are redundant and/or needless. I wasn't going to waste any more time trying to figure this out. I spent hours with Tech Support (3 different techies altogether) and they couldn't get my list back, even after reinstalling the firmware. I don't plan to be updating this list a lot anyway.
To get your DHCP Reservation list back and keep it from disappearing in the future, do the following...
Power down all LAN and wireless devices that connect or want to connect to your router with the exception of a single wired computer.
Save your current router configuration. There is a Backup Configurations button on the Administration tab.
Hit and hold the reset button on the back of your router for 30 seconds as previously advised.
After releasing the button, pull the power cable out of the router and wait another 30 seconds or so.
Plug the power cable back in and wait for your router to boot.
Load the original CD that came with the router and redo the Setup procedure.
Once the router pulls down an IP address from your modem, you can then start to configure your DHCP Reservations list from scratch.
Click DHCP Reservation off of the Setup --> Basic Setup tab.
Starting with the PC already connected, enter in your current PC information using the Manual method. Don't use the Add Clients button. (The MAC address should be appearing in the list above this button. You can just cut/paste it in.)
For the name, do not use special characters, spaces, or numbers. Just use upper/lower case letters and keep the name short.
Click Save Settings. Click Continue. Click the Close button at the bottom of the window.
Click Backup Configurations on the Administration tab. (You can always restore if your list vanishes on you. You don't want to have to start over from scratch the next time. You can just do the restore.)
Power up the next device. They appear to pop up immediately in the clients table. At this point, the DHCP Client table should be functioning as expected/advertised.
Repeat steps 9 through 14 until all your devices are full reserved.
Again, this is the exhaustive procedure. I can't say which steps are crucial. Just add one entry at a time, short names, letters only, and save the configuration each time you successfully add an entry. (Never "x" out the DHCP Reservation window. Use the Close button.)
If anyone finds out the real deal here, can you please post it. Or, better yet, Cisco can fix their firmware bug in the next release.

E3000 DHCP server issues?

I recently purchased an E3000 and immediately upgraded to the latest firmware version,1.0.03 build 2 Sep 7, 2010 . I've noticed a few issues with the DHCP server.
First, some entries appear to drop out of the DHCP client table before their DHCP lease expires. This has happened with several Windows 7 clients and with a pair of Linksys WRT54GS routers that obtain their IP addresses from the DHCP server in the E3000.
Second, I have two Netgear GS108Tv2 switches attached to the E3000. When these switches are running firmware version 5.0.0.8 they can obtain IP addresses from the E3000, but I can't access them using a web server. When these switches are running firmware version 5.0.1.11 they fail to obtain IP addresses from the E3000. I suspect the DHCP client in these two devices has a problem and I have reported this behavior to Netgear, but I believe the DHCP server in the E3000 may also be part of the problem. Why? Because I connected the switches to one of the WRT54GS routers mentioned above and they were able to obtain IP addresses from the DHCP server in the WRT54GS, which is a model 7.0 running firmware versionv7.50.8 build 001, Oct. 5, 2009 .
Finally, a question regarding DHCP reservations with the E3000. When creating a DHCP reservation, does the assigned IP address have to come from the scope of addresses assigned to the DHCP server? For example, I have configured the start IP address for the DHCP server in the E3000 to be 192.168.1.64 and the maximum number of users to be 64. However, I have created reservations for IP addresses 192.168.1.10 and 192.168.1.20 for the two WRT54GS routers mentioned above. I have also created a reservation for two clients within the assigned range as well. All assignments appear to be working correctly, but I would like to confirm that both approaches are kosher.
Thanks in advance.

On 04/27/2011, I opened a case with LinkSys/Cisco support concerning lost DHCP Client Table entries on both my new E3000 V1.0 router (running firmware upgrade 1.0.4) and it's WRT54G V8.0 predecessor. After several days of using WireShark capture traces, I was able to determine the entries were being dropped when an application on one of my four WinXP/SP3 systems sends a "DHCP Inform" packet to the router. The E3000 (and WRT54G V8.0) responds with correct IP Lease information but deletes the client's entry from it's DHCP Client Table in the process. My problem was supposedly referred to the support team in Irvine, CA about a week ago, after I discovered what was causing the table drop, but I have not heard from the Irvine team yet. I will follow up on Monday for a status update.
Oddly enough, the "triggering application" is MicroSoft's AutoUpdate process. Once I configured MS AutoUpdate from "Check but do not download updates" to "Turn Off Automatic Updates", the AutoUpdate process ceased generating "DHCP Inform" packets and my system has not been deleted from the router's DHCP Client Table since then. I have a total of four WinXP/SP3 systems behind the E3000, one is direct connected to an Ethernet port on the router and the other three are connected to the EG008W switch which is connected to a port on the E3000. One of those three systems is occasionally connected wirelessly to the E3000 for long periods with no connection problems. My NVidia nForce 730i tower is one of the systems on the EG008W switch and is the one that was being dropped from the DHCP Client Table (whether it was on the switch or direct connected to the E3000). The system that is always direct connected to the E3000 is an identical NVidia nForce 730i tower and has never been dropped from the DHCP Client Table.
Please note that the client that was being dropped from the router's DHCP Client Table did NOT lose access to the Internet. Repeated checks using Command Prompt "ipconfig /all" indicated the client still had it's IP Address lease. Issuing a "ipconfig /renew" command resulted in the client being shown in the router's DHCP Client Table until the next "DHCP Inform" packet was sent and responded to by the E3000 (and WRT54G) router.
Concerning switch connection issues with the E3000 and some newer WRT54G wireless routers, I had a similar issue in March 2011 with a LinkSys SD2005 Gb switch newly connected to a WRT54G V8 and later my new E3000 wireless routers. The SD2005 had no issues connecting to an older WRT54G V6 router. A call to the Support line transferred me to the Cisco Engineering support team which confirmed connection compatibility issues with older switches and new LinkSys Wireless routers due to firmware changes in switch connection support. I replaced my SD2005 with an EG008W Gb switch and have no problems with it on either the E3000 or the WRT54G V8 backup router.
Concerning the randomly assigned dynamic IP addresses from the E3000, from my perspective this appears to have started after the WRT54G V8.0 Wireless-G router firmware. Not only does the E3000 definitely prefer the upper 10 IP addresses of the dynamic range but it ignores a client's request to renew a previously assigned IP address during the client's "half-life" IP Lease renewal process and usually assigns a different IP address. This may part of undocumented identity protection policies. I have chosen to use the E3000's DHCP Reservation function for my home based systems, both wired and wireless. I do not use the DHCP reservation function for the new E3000 "Guest" wireless network. Please note my use of DHCP reservation went into effect about halfway through my DHCP Client Table diagnosis process and had no affect on the issue except that I had reliable client IP addresses to use in ShareWare capture filters.
I apologize for the long dissertation, but after 40+ years in various mainframe/open-system positions, I have a well known penchant for documenting problems for future reference.

How-do-i-configure-guest-wifi-access-using-2504-wlc-fortigate-utm-l3-device

Dear All
I have a 2504 Wireless Controller with multiple radios attached. I currently have a "private" WLAN configured (taking ip from windows server based DHCP of Range 192.1681.0/24 ) and working, but I need to add a Guest/Public WLAN which should take the IP from Other DHCP Configured on Fortigate UTM of range 172.16.0.0/24.
We have one SG300 switch in the office and the rest are basic switches.
Our firewall/router is a Fortigate UTM 240D
Find the attached network diagram for the issue.
Is there a SIMPLE way to enabling guest access that doesn't require VLANS (or are VLANS easier than I'm making them)?
Thanks.

How do I get a VPN acct accessed using Airport Extreme Base station?

I have PC running Windows 2000. For my job, I access a hospital VPN at home. In my home, I am able to set up the Extreme Base Station for wireless conductivity with computers in my home and all have access internet wirelessly. No problem.
The problem is that I cant get it all to work together. How do I configure the base station to recognize/allow the VPN client to enter my network?
I currently have WEP 128 on. The computer used for VPN is hardwired to the base station. Even with security turn-off, I cant access the VPN via base station set up as it is.

PC Windows 2000

I recently got my roommate's Lenovo t43p with VPN to finally work with my Airport Extreme.
1. Open the Airport Utility
2. Double click on your Airport Express on the left side to open up the panel.
3. Click on the "Internet" tab and then select the "DHCP" tab.
4. Click the "+" sign under "DHCP Reservations"
5. Create a name for the profile like "XP Work Laptop" or whatever, and then click Continue
6. You'll need to get your Windows laptop's MAC address which is sometimes under your laptop on a sticker, or you'll have to dig through XP's ridiculous Control Panel to find it.
7. Enter your laptop's MAC address in the field.
8. Lastly, in the 'IPv4 Address" field designate an IP address for your XP laptop that is within your router's range, if you're not sure of the range, the "IPv4 Address" range should be auto-populated with an IP address and you can just try it with that, or if it doesn't work you can change the last number to something higher but no more than like 4-5 digits more.
Hope this helps, Good luck!!

Internet DHCP/DNS issues with WRT1900ac

I've had a WRT1900ac now for about 2 weeks and the problems seem to be escalating. Need help. And yes, I've already read dozens of threads about these issues and nothing seems to be working.
Most of the problems seem to be centered around this DHCP/DNS issue that so many have been reporting.
First, the symptoms:
Galaxy S4 phones when connected via wifi have some apps that don't update (facebook and google play)
Some computers (both Win 7) will connect to the network just fine, both wired and wireless - but won't be able to get to the internet
I've spent the last 2-3 days of my life reading forums and trying all sorts of things to get this to work properly (like my old router) and I'm still stuck. Some things I've tried:
Firmware is up-to-date (latest version: 1.1.8.164461)
Manually assigned static DNS in router config settings (connectivity -> local network) to various combinations including the router address, 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4, 75.75.75.75, 75.75.76.76 (I have comcast), OpenDNS addresses, etc. I read that the router address is not needed, so I stopped including it.
I manually assigned IPs and DNS on the Galaxy S4 phones and that seemed to work... but also seems unnecessary.
I've reserved DHCP addresses on the computers in question, that didn't seem to work, I also manually set DNS on one of the comupters (can't on the other... long story/not my computer) and that worked for a while and then stopped working.
The only way to get one of the computers on the internet now is to turn on the guest network (even though the computer is hard wired to the router), connect, and then the wired network works. No clue why this is, but my guess is that it needs the guest network for DNS, then it fails back over to the wired network. Once that happens, I can actually turn off the wifi on the computer and everything works great... until I reboot. Key point: I can't change any settings on that box other than entering in SSID/passphrase info for the wireless connection. I can connect to the regular (non-Guest) wifi just fine - I just can't ever get to the internet.
I've tried massaging DHCP settings on the router until I'm blue in the face - Static DNS, reserving DHCP addresses, hell I even put one of the computers in the DMZ to see if that would work and it still can't connect to the internet (it's worth noting that with my old router, Linksys WRT310N, the setup was literally plug-and-play - no hassle with any of this).
I've tried countless router reboots, factory resets, turning off my modem and router for 2+ minutes, and nothing is working.
I even read somewhere that if you modify your DHCP settings at all that the WRT1900ac stops doing DNS properly and breaks, so I even tried several "hard" factory resets and used all the default DHCP/DNS settings. And it worked... for a few hours.
Seriously, I'm at my wit's end. I'm out a lot of money on this thing and it's been one headache after another. Please help.

I think for most people its a bad idea to hold out that hope, lol. It seems like a great piece of hardware but if you really need a router and don't want to have to 'play' with it, its probably not a good choice. I have an EA6900 that I am very happy with but it has the same restrictions as far as DNS and I really hate the idea that I am forced to use the smartwifi portal. I would really like for them to give me a choice of the old gui or the new one and let ME decide. Lots of routers to choose from out there now and new ones seem to be coming out all the time so do some reading and see if something suits you better. Good luck!

No internet access using manual TCP/IP settings after 10.4.6

I stopped being able to access the internet with manual TCP/IP settings in the Network Preferences after updating from 10.4.5 -> 10.4.6.
When I change settings to use DHCP everything works fine, but I need to get the manual settings working as I use them quite often when configuring/setting-up routers.
This happens with both the AirPort and Ethernet interfaces, so it doesn't matter which interface I use to connect through.
My network Locations with manual TCP/IP settings have worked fine with 10.4.5, under the same networking hardware (routers, cables, etc...).
This occurs both at home (with my Linksys wireless router) and at work (with a DrayTek router).
At home, this problem occurs with both my PB12 and my wife's iBook12, after the 10.4.6 update was applied.
At work, all Windows laptops can connect to the internet using manual TCP/IP settings, but not my PB12.
Example of my settings:
- IP: 192.168.1.99
- Mask: 255.255.255.0
- Router: 192.168.0.1
- DNS: <empty>
- Domains: <empty>
Already tried, without success:
- verified disk -> no errors found on disk!
- repaired permissions, using Disk Utility, rebooted and tested -> no connection!
- tried with DNS=192.168.0.1 -> no connection!!
- tried with DNS=[my ISP primary dns] -> still nothing!!!
- even tried reapplying the combo update 10.4.5 -> of course, it didn't let me, as I'm now in 10.4.6!
Any thoughts or ideas to fix it and make it work in 10.4.6?
... other than archive&install, in order to downgrade!
PB12'' @ 1,33 GHz w/ 768MB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Yes, buy I also state in my original post that I:
- tried with DNS=[my ISP primary dns] -> still nothing!!!
but yes, I probably should have titled it "No network access using..." (posting as 4:30 AM was probably not the best idea :D)
I understand I might have been a bit clumpsy posting my problem and appreciate everyone's corrections to what I wrote, but trust me that I have done a lot of tests and spent many hours on this... Bear in mind that I am using a network Location with manual definitions that was working before the update!
Anyway, as it happens, the likely culprit now seems to be more of a 3rd party software's inability to deal with 10.4.6 rather than the 10.4.6 itself!
I've disabled/unistalled/turnned off/deleted (depending on the app) anything NOT Apple that had anything to do with networking, be it for monitoring, controlling or managing (just to name a few: Little Snitch, Menu Meters, BrickHouse, etc, etc, etc...).
The Location with the manual settings is now working fine (at least at the office).
Over the next week or so I'll incrementaly re-install those 3rd party tools (which were most likely not up-to-date anyway) and see if something breaks at some point... but won't put much effort into it -- just happy to see it working again!
I'm closing this for now, as I don't have any more time for it (work is pilling up!)... If I manage to find out which version/app combination was causing the problem I'll post it back here!

Maximum number of dhcp reservations

I am using an airport extreme (3rd gen, latest firmware).
I added 26 DHCP reservations.
Now I want to add some more.
Problem is: The ´+´ button is gray, only the ´-´ button is black.
using the EDIT button changes an existing entry and overwrites it.
Is there any limitation of the number for dhcp reservations?
How can I add new one?
Thanks for your help.

Apple Please fix this.

DHCP Reservations and ARD

I asked this question on someone elses thread. I'll ask here as well..
I have 2 computer on my Airport Extreme network I am controlling with my Macbook pro (ARD Admin)
G5 Tower - on ethernet, Macbook Air on wireless (which travels outside network sometimes)
When inside the network I can control both computers... no problem.
When outside I can control only the G5.
I have setup a DHCP Reservation for the G5 on the Airport Utility so I can access it from outside. Works great... I can add a second DHCP Reservation for the Macbook Air but the Port Mapping does not allow a second mapping to the Air.
How can I do this?
Second question - DHCP Reservation - If the Airport remaps the DHCP addresses each 24 hours, Can i use an IP over the range... say - 205? This way the target computer will always be available?

I have setup a DHCP Reservation for the G5 on the Airport Utility so I can access it from outside. Works great... I can add a second DHCP Reservation for the Macbook Air but the Port Mapping does not allow a second mapping to the Air.
As you have found out, the AirPort Utility will not allow you to map the same port to more than one device. The only way around this is to use a different port for the same function. In this case, letting ARD know to use a different port to listen on for the MacBook Air.
Second question - DHCP Reservation - If the Airport remaps the DHCP addresses each 24 hours, Can i use an IP over the range... say - 205? This way the target computer will always be available?
Yes. The purpose of using the DHCP Reservation feature is so that you can create a "permanent" IP address within the range of IP addresses in the DHCP pool. Prior to this, using an IP address just outside of the pool was a common tactic to make sure that the address used would not conflict with the DHCP server's pool.

EA6700 DHCP Reservation (Static DHCP) limit

Hi,
just got an EA6700. Setup was the most difficult I've ever experienced in many years of Wifi/router config. I almost packed it back up to return it. The cloud thing is absurd. Using CAPTCHA that does not even display the CAPTCHA image is even worse.
Alright, I succeeded in using the local admin login and set up the router. Actually the plan was to have it just be a wireless access point, using my Cisco RV042 as the router and DHCP server. Well that 'dream' was squashed right quick. That **bleep** RV042 blew up when I added one more Static DHCP entry. Poof. 'No more SYSTEM' errors in a few spots. On reboot the darn thing does not come back up. This after the RV042 needed to be reset after I used a quote or some other 'illegal' character in a static DHCP entry. What a piece of amateur junk.
So. Tomorrow I will reset the RV042 again and relegate it to just doing WAN failover, nothing more. The EA6700 will be the router and DHCP server. So my question (sorry for the ranting) is how many DHCP reservations the EA6700 can handle. I'll probably need 75. I assign DHCP reservations for LAN stability and to prevent IP address collisions.
Please note that I'm not talking about static IP addresses. I have a few of those too but I know they are different from DHCP reservations.
Thanks,
Sander

It's highly unlikely the EA6700 can handle 70+ DHCP reservations. But I don't know for sure.
My advice is to go back to plan A and use EA6700 as AP.
Configure it for bridge mode. Be sure to "specify and IP address". Don't use "obtain IP address automatically" when configuring bridge mode.

Edit: don't configure ea6700 for bridge mode while it's connected to your main router. You've probably noticed by now that the EA routers will automatically change their IP to 10.x.x.x if they detect a double NAT. Which I why I suggest keeping it disconnected from main router when configuring.
