WRVS4400N PPPoE Connection Problem

I have a Cisco Small Business WRVS4400N router that is behind my ISP supplied gateway.  I recently changed the configuration around to put the ISP suppleid modem into "Transparent Bridge" mode, and allowed the WRVS4400N to handle the conenction.  Which is does fine.  My problem is that every time it looses power, I have to log back into it, and re enter the password for the PPPoE crediantials.  It retains the Username, but not the password.  This is quite annoying, as we have had several power outages here lately...
My question is, is this normal behavior?  If it is, why?  If it isn't, how do I correct it?
Thanks,
John

Hello John,
On the newer code of firmware it has that behavior were for some reason it will blank out the password information. If you were to back-up your configuration and open it up in a note bad you should come across your password you've used for the PPPoE information. I wouldn't be alarmed if you see the password blank in the PPPoE field.
Hope that helps,
Thanks,
Clayton Sill

  • WRT54GL PPPoE connection problem

    Hi,
    my ISP is using PPPoE to connect users, but I'm not sure about presence of any cable modems -- ethernet wire just goes to the common box. So I was configuring the router according to this tutorial, got to step 6, e.g. the router was assigned an IP address but it still can't access the Web. Traceroute to the ISP's website are successful, but if I try to ping or traceroute any other website it stops at the next IP node. Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Problem solved: in my case it was necessary to enter 192.168.2.1 AND then choose PPPoE connection with appropriate login/password.

  • Linksys E1500 PPPOE connection problem

    I use pppoe internet connection. The problem is that the router disconect from internet after an hour or two. The ip address change, and then internet connection is up again. On the wan setup page I selected to Keep alive the connection. The problem dose not ocurr when I connect to the internet whitout the router (directley from computer). How can I avoid this problem  ?

    First of all, does it work properly when you connect the computer directly to the modem? If yes, then please reduce the MTU settings on the router, change the MTU size to 1400.
    Login to the router web interface either using Cisco connect software from router settings screen. Change the MTU option to manual and change the size to 1400.

  • Problems with PPPoE connection to Wi-Fi

    Hello,
    I just got an iPod touch (2nd Generation) and the Wi-Fi works fine everywhere but at home.
    I managed to connect my MacBook with the Wi-Fi but how can I connect the iPod touch to a PPPoE connection?
    I can't find it anywhere in the settings and couldn't find any information on it.
    Help please!

    Yes, it is DSL. The problem is that my provider (Alice) requires a log in every time the computer was off or in standby. The router is not from the internet provider, we bought it separately and I had enough problems setting it up in the first place. Now, I'm afraid if I change things on my router I might not be able to get an internet connection at all.
    The router itself doesn't have a encryption or a password, it looks open.
    When I go online on my laptop it first connects to the wi-fi and then I have to connect it to the DSL connection with the password.
    Is there any other way I can fix this?

  • Multiple PPPoE connections on one Mac

    Hi,
    I have two PPPoE type connections on my MBP; one is meant only for downloading whilst the other is my main browsing, mail, etc account.
    The problem I have is this, before getting the second ISP account that I use for major downloading, I had just one PPPoE connection that I used for everything. Now that they are separate, I have the main one (the one I use for my mail and browsing, etc) set to connect when needed, hence it connects automatically when my MBP starts up due to the fact that my mail starts up on login.
    I can manually disconnect it and connect the other account (downloading account) then use that connection for whatever it is that I download or stream, but the problem comes in when the other PPPoE account connects (because I never close my mail, only hide it).
    So I am a little concerned that the wrong PPPoE connection might be used to download/stream my media. And, yes it is important that the accounts are used for different processes. With two PPPoE connections active (never knew that was even possible), I have been left with the option of removing the "connect when needed" option from my default connections meaning I now (It sounds lazy, I know...) I must click connect for each account when they are needed and that being as soon as I switch my MBP on.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, thank you much!

    Never mind, I figured it out. Set the service order appropriately.

  • How to get Airport Express to authenticate the PPPoE connection so that more than one computer can get online

    Hello,
    I have to use a PPPoe Connection with my ISP and have some troubles setting up the Airport Express. I can only use the Airport in Bridge Mode and DHPC and authenticate the PPPoE on the mac individually. With this solution, no second computer can be set up to use internet at the same time.
    I want the Airport Expres to authenticate and pass on "free internet" so that I can connect as many devices as I wish in a normal manner (without PPPoE). However, as soon as I put all the relevant information into the Airport Express, no Internet is coming through anymore. I can connect the computers to the Airport, but there is no interet and the Airport Utility will tell me the same in its settings.
    What can I do? A support member in the apple store told me there is no way to authenticate with the Airport Express but could not tell me what the Airport Express' PPPoE setting was there for in the first place. My ISP told me many customers use Airport Express Routers and that there should not be any problem.
    I am stuck:(
    Thanks for your help in advance

    The AirPort Express can support PPPoE regardless of what the Apple Store employee told you.
    To configure the Express to do so you will need to use the AirPort Utility:
    AirPort Utility > Select the Express > Edit
    Internet tab > Connect Using: PPPoE
    Enter the appropriate PPPoE information that your ISP has provided you in the fields on this tab.
    Click on Update and allow the Express to restart.
    The important thing about PPPoE is that only the device that is directly connected to the Internet should be configured of providing the PPPoE credentials, all other devices should be configured for using DHCP. Note: I am assuming that your AirPort Express is the only router in your current network configuration and that it is directly connected to an Internet modem and not another router upstream of it.

  • Macbook airport pppoe connecting

    Hi,
    I've had a problem with my Macbook Pro Airport utility ever since my Apple Time Capsule router dropped internet yesterday.  The router issue resolved itself after a modem restart, and the internet works fine now.  All other computers and devices can access the internet fine, and in fact my Macbook Pro is connected to the network and can access the internet just fine (I'm typing this on it now).
    However, ever since, the little wifi indicator in my menu bar has had the radiating black lines like it's still searching for the network, and my wifi network has an arrow besides its name instead of the connection strength.  When I click on the arrow I see a pop up window with some options, and the greyed out message 'pppoe connecting'.  Google searching this message seems to suggest that if pppoe isn't connected, I shouldn't have working internet, so I'm confused.
    There doesn't seem to be any actual problem, everything is working fine, except that the constantly flashing lines in the menu bar are annoying me and they don't normally do that!
    Any suggestions as to what's going on would be appreciated.

    Ok, you should just need to enter 192.168.1.245 into your browser's address window, and you should be greeted with a request for a username & password. Leave the username blank and enter "admin" (without the quote marks) for the password...should get you in.
    Do you have your WAP's User Guide handy? No problem if you don't, it would just make it easier to see the same screens when I try to explain what values need to set.
    Assuming that you are now at the WAP's Setup/Network Setup page: (ref: UG, page 38)
    Device Name: The default name is fine.
    Configuration Type: Automatic Configuration - DHCP
    The other values on this page (IP Address, Subnet Mask, etc.) are automatically assigned.
    Going to the Setup/AP Mode tab: (ref: UG, page 40)
    Enable (select) Access point (default)
    Going to the Wireless tab: (ref: UG, page 43)
    Mode: Mixed
    Network Name (SSID): This is what you'll see when you look for a network when you are accessing it via AirPort. You can use the default name, or I suggest make it something unique that means something to you...to distinguish it from the others that may be near you at your dorm.
    Channel: The default is 6. If you have others near you using wireless, they most likely will be defaulted to 6 as well. To prevent interference, pick another, like 11, or your favorite number, from the available range.
    SSID Broadcast: This allow the name of you network to be "broadcast" so you (& other) can find it quickly. Unless you want to share your connection, and to make it more secure, you should disable this feature. You can still find it in AirPort by selecting other and typing in the name. Your call.
    Ok, that's quite a bit for now. If you need to keep your wireless secure, I can take you thru the steps for using encryption.

  • Wireless works, but has a red X on it. Also getting error 711 on a PPPoE connection

    Hi, I am having several issues with Windows 7.  This is an HP probook 6560b.  I am able to connect to wireless, but I have the red X over the connection like it is not connected.  Even though the internet is working.  I also cannot use
    the PPPoE connection as I receive error 711:  The operation could not finish because it could not start the Remote Access Connection Service manager in time. immediately.
    "Could not start the Remote Access Connection Manager service on local computer. Error 1068. The dependency service or group failed to start."
    I have the telephony service started but I'm getting another error when I try to start the Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol Service, it says:
    some services start and stop automatically if they are not used by any other service ... but in order to run "RACM" I need this enabled ... any ideas how to fix this ?
    I've tried making sure the event log service is turned on.
    Scanned PC for threats and none found
    used CCleaner to clean registry
    Updated wireless drivers to latest via Intel's site.
    Removed all wireless connections and rebooted
    To add to this, When I used to connect to wireless, it would show the standard wireless status bars.  Then when connecting my VPN, I had a separate icon in the systray for the vpn and wireless status bars were still there.  Now I have the red X
    on my wireless and when I connect the VPN, it shows a regular icon like I'm plugged into a wired connection instead of wireless.  I still have the separate VPN icon as well
    If any more information is needed, please let me know.  Any help is greatly appreciated

    Hi,
    Have you make any change to your system before this problem occurs? System restore is a efficient method to fix this problem.
    Generally speaking, virtual NIC driver is the culprit of this problem, you can try to uninstall all NIC drivers in Device Manager, then restart the system and let system install built-in driver automatically for test.
    If no use, try to use Driver Verifier to  identify driver problem for test:

  • 10.4.8 in an Earthlink PPPoE-connected Network

    Hi, everyone. I've looked through the posts that I can find and everytime I try something, it doesn't work. So now I'd like to post my problem and see what I need to do.
    I have OSX Server 4.8 in a network that is connected to the Internet via Earthlink's Zyxel 645 DSL modem. My connection to Earthlink is via PPPoE. Currently, because I have a Buffalo router in place, my 645 is in bridge mode. Therefore, the Buffalo is authenticating with my PPPoE username/password. I had an IPCOP firewall providing all of my access and firewalling but it died. So I'd like to incorporate my server to do the routing, DHCP, DNS, NAT, etc. Then I'll just use my Buffalo as a wireless AP.
    According to this document, http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303859, I have to put my DSL modem into "half-bridge mode" or DHCP spoofing. I went to Earthlink and they told me to factory reset the modem and that would put it in the correct "mindset" to configure my server to do everything else. I tried what they said, but I can't get the server to manage the network. Eth1 is set as my WAN interface (should be a cross-over cable plugged into the 645) and Eth2 is my LAN interface. I'm using DynDNS since I have a dynamic IP address from Earthlink.
    From what I'm seeing in the other posts, PPPoE connection is a problem. I'm pretty new to the OSX server world. Can someone please help me along with the steps necessary to make this happen?
    I've probably left out some information that you'll need. Please ask.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Anyone?

  • Can't connect to the internet using a PPPoE connection

    Helllo,
    I have a LinkSys Wireless-G 2,4ghz, and i used it for 4-5 months, but for a week now i can't connect with it to the internet.
    I have a Internet connection using a PPPoE, I plugged the cabble directly in the PC and made the connection and it works, so there is no problem with the internet.
    When i am trying to use it with the router it dosen't work, i have selectes the PPPoE connection then user and password, i press connect and it sits at "Connecting ..."
    The Internet light is on when i put the cable in, so the port is working, and it is allso blinking witch means it sends some packages.
    I have tryid to get some logs to see what is going on but faild, the only thing that i go is:

  • AEBS with PPPOE connection

    Interesting problem, I have an AEBS with a PPPOE direct connection from Internet Provider (no modem), just moved to India and that is all I got. Anyway, the provider requires a PPPOE connection, the AEBS works fine, I have an internet connection but the amber light continues to flash yellow and in airport it says there is a problem with the internet connection. Again, I can connect just fine but I continue to have the flashing amber light and internet connection error. I am on v7.4.2 and airport utility 5.4.2. If anyone has suggestions how correct this I would appreciate it. Rick

    Rick, welcome to the discussions!
    Open Airport Utility and click on Manual Setup. The next page is a summary of your settings. Click on the amber dot and an error message page will display.
    You should have an option to "ignore" the problem listed (it's probably something like no internet connection detected, etc.). Update your settings and the light should turn green in 10-15 seconds.

  • PPPoE Connection Drops streaming video on my Linksys WRK54G

    So I just set up my Linksys WRK54G Version 1.1 to handle my PPPoE connection, meaning I entered the username and password assigned to me via my ISP. It works for a bit and then seems drop the connection all together. When this occurs, I cannot even ping the router (192.168.1.1). I have to unplug the AC Adaptor and then plug it in, inorder for the connection to pick up again. It seems when I try to access streaming video from a certain site (http://www.mtv2.com/#videoPremiere/1552982) and I have PPPoE setup via my router, the connection drops. If I change the setting to "Obtain an IP Automatically" and send my PPPoE credentials through my Windows XP client all is well. No issues what so ever.
    I called Linksys and they had me try setting my MTU to 1400 but that did nothing. I have the most recent firmware as well. He then said that I will need to call my ISP and increase the bandwidth on my modem to get it to work (connect directly to my modem).
    I have since reset the router, downloaded the newest episode of "Heroes" and fired up You Tube and watched a few streaming videos while grabbing the torrent. Everything looked ok.
    I then went back to the MTV2 link I posted above (http://www.mtv2.com/#videoPremiere/1552982) and clicked play. At the same time I set up a continuous ping to the router. Sure enough, the connection dropped completely. Unplug the AC Adaptor to the router for 1 second, plug it back in and all is well. I am truly stumped here.
    Is the issue perhaps a port issue with the video I am trying to stream from MTV2? It seems regular stress tests work ok.
    PS - It seems someone else was having a similar problem here: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/rema...?hilite=wrk54g
    UPDATE: I went to bed and woke up and my connection has dropped completely, and I was not even downloading anything?!  Can someone please help me with this issue?

    well...i guess u have tried almost everything possible on the router...try TCP optimiser .. this should adjust the MTU settings of the NIC card on the computer....
    if u are having issues on the wireless computer, change channel - 1 or 11 , change beacon interval - 50 , RTS and fragmentation threshold - 2304 ...

  • Imac internet connection problem (says connected, won't load any website)

    I cant begin to express the incredible amount of frustration I have had with trying to get a fully loaded Imac 2011 connected to the internet.  I am currently residing in Dakar Senegal, using Sonatel Orange as a service.
    I am on a network where EVERY SINGLE piece of gear connected to it works 100%, including my ipad, cell phone, Asus PC. I have no connection issues and as of now typing this message on the very same network that the IMAC appears to have a problem.
    I have called tech support and they walked me through several steps which resolved nothing so I am hoping the community can help me.
    Whether I connect to my router directly with an ethernet cable, or use the wireless to connect, it give me green lights, says its connected to the isp but not to the internet.  Obviously the internet works on this network or I would not be sending this message from my PC. 
    DNS was the same as the router and the same as the one on my PC.  I even tried 8.8.8.8 and that did not resolve the issue.  Like I said it says connected to the ISP but the internet and server lights are red on the IMAC diagnostic tool.  Everytime I try to connect the IMAC to the internet via the router via wireless or the ethernet cable, It does nothing, and actually I have to reboot the router to get it to work for the PC or any other device.  Its as if the IMAC does something to the router and requires a reboot to reset it.
    IT is DHCP enabled, thus not a PPPOE connection. 
    If I cannot get this resolved, I will be boxing up a $2500 machine and sending it back to apple.  I cannot believe that I buy a practically fully loaded apple for the first time, and cant connect to the internet.  I will go back to PCs and not look back if this does not get resolved.  2500 bucks is WAY to much to have internet connection issues.

    Sorry to hear about your connection problem, you have a great computer but sometimes small things can cause a major problem.  Did you check your firewall, make sure it is not blocking traffic.  Click on system preference>security & privacy then click the firewall tab.  If it is on then turn it off and see if you can connect. I would also reset the SMC   As a last check open your network utility and take a look at the status of your network card and link status.
