Cisco Routers :: RV042 Squealing And Lights Not Normal?
Mar 31, 2013
One day, my rv042 started emitting a very high pitched sound. The lights will flash upon powerup, but not act normal (indicate link, etc). The router cannot be accessed at all.I changed the power supply to a known working one to eliminate that--didn't work.
I have been given the task of unbricking a WRVS4400N V2 router. It just sits there with the Power and Diag lights blinking and does nothing else.I'm thinking I'm going to have to try to find some way to flash the firmware, because I'm seeing that this is a common problem with this router.I already tried support "chat" online, but after about 20-30 minutes waiting for someone to actually come into the chat room, I gave up.I did note that this model is not being sold anymore and won't be supported before very long, so this may be a gigantic waste of time, but I thought I would give it a shot.
We have a Cisco SRP 527W router that was not showing up on the LAN. so we tried a Factory Default reset but it seems to be dead.
The power light is flashing constantly,the 4 LAN light are constantly on,the DSL Data light comes on for 1 sec when device is powered up.
i have tried connecting directly to a PC, the NIC reports as network cable unplugged.i have tried the (power on device, hold down reset button, power of after 30 sec, power on after 5 sec, release reset button after 5 sec) but still "network cable unplugged".
the firmware flash utility will not find the NIC the device is connected to.the router is less than a year old, is there a fix or is it a warranty replacement ?
My F5D8235-4 v.2 N+ suddenly stopped working. The security and modem lights are solid lavender and the storage light is solid amber. The router light is solid blue. Internet has no light.
I have a N+ wireless router model F5D82335 and have lost my owners manual. I can't find online info on what the face lights mean. Currently the wireless yellow light flashes about ten times then pauses and flashes again. I have no issues with being able to connect.
I have RV042 and E4200 routers . I tried the manual UPnP port forwarding using Rv042 router and was succesful ( by typing 192.168.1.1 in the explorer and logged in using user name and password )
I am using a linux embedded system whose Internal IP ,Internal port are mapped .This system is connected to one of the LAN ports
I want to try auto UPnP port forwarding both for RV042 router and Linksys E4200 routers
After enabling the Upnp option only and logging out ,Can i add a port mapping entry in this router without logging in using a C++ program which runs on linux embedded system .
I was looking for a small business router that has VPN support and dual WAN support for load balancing. Upon reading reviews, I think RV042/RV042G is a good choice. Now am thinking if it supports intervlan/ router-on-a-stick configuration?
I connected the DSL (WAN1-Internet) port in and the Cisco RV042 was able to get an IP automatically. I tested the connection and it works just fine. Then I connect the Cable Modem-Comcast (WAN2-DMZ/Internet Port) in and I have the RV042 automatically optain IP address. But it just says 0.0.0.0. I've tried release/renew and that does nothing. Also, when I connect the 2nd Internet connection the Internet goes down. The only way it goes back up is when I disable under the PORT MANAGMENT setting.
All the settings have been kept to the default.How can I get the router to obtain an IP address from the Cable Modem-Comcast (WAN2 DMZ/Internet Port).
We have an Cisco RV042. We need to setup a VPN with a business partner who is already using our current IP scheme on another VPN with another client. They have asked us to NAT our IP's from 192.168.25.x to 192.168.245.x
I can't seem to figure this out on this router. I have done it on a Sonicwall and Watchguard, but can't seem to get it to work on the RV042.
I have setup the VPN and the One-To-One NAT. The tunnel will connect (using the 245.x IP as our local IP on the VPN setup), but no traffic will pass through.
i was planed to make a vpn over rv042 so i get the rv042 connected behind a thosmon 456(configured as a bridge) and 1 static ip ... and i configured the vpn and worked great ...but due to some circumstance i get a package of 6 ips insted of the old ip , so when i try to configure the router with the ISP they but the wan ip 10.232.x.x and told me that an internal ip from there lan ... and give me the 6 ip of 196.x.x.x to use as 1 for internal interface for the rv042 and 5 for the pc's,now the vpn not working anymore...notice: when try to configure the vpn tunnle in the local securty setting i mark the ip only and the ip that abear is the wan ip 10.232.x.x but i can't ping that ip beside i can ping the internal ip of the router 196.x.x.50does rv042 can support static and virtual ip inside the lan |! can i configure the thomson as pppoe and use one static ip from 196.x.x.x as wan ip for it ... and use anther 196.x.x.x ip for the rv042 to get access from outside and connect the lan to the rv042 with internal ip 192.168.x.x ...so i can access the vpn from outside .....and can connect the device i need to use static ip to the thomson ...
Firmware v4.0.4.02 has a nasty bug in the VPN section. If you switch to "IP by DNS Resolved" (yes, it says "Resolved" instead of "Resolution". Gotta love all the Engrish in the RV042!), it will automatically populate the field with "@yourdomain.com". This will cause the VPN to not lookup the proper IP address. Simply deleting the atmark after it populates will fix the problem.
Let's see what happens when we validate a Cisco RV042 webpage:

Apparently one of my two ISPs,CenturyLink, supports 6rd connections to IPv6.
This is supported natively on my Q1000 ActionTec modem, however my modem is in "transparent bridging" mode, so that the RV042 v3 can be the only router.
how to configure the RV042 to operate in this manner.
Per the CenturyLink FAQ: the IPv6 address space is:
2602::0 /24
Most importantly, can I do this WITHOUT buying a new modem.
I have a RV042 router (Ser#: NKS10462300, HW V3) running Firmware version v4.0.2.08-tm (Jan 14 2011 22:08:38) set up as a gateway. Right after it boots I am able to long into its web interface but shortly after that if I try to log into it I go through a very log time out while the web page is waiting the router to respond and then eventually IE comes back and says it 'cannot display the web [age'.
I have a Cisco RV042 VPN Router and I have added a group vpn, but when I am trying to connect I got an error that the remote vpn server isn't responding.
Here's my log:

If I am trying to connect the status of the vpn user in the remote interface is "online".I have deactived my firewall at home and at the server for testing purposes.
I am looking to configure RV042 for VPN access to local machines and Win 2008 server. The story: Had issues with remote printers being created for clients logging into old Linksys RV042 with Linksys VPN software. First Tech exposed server without security, and it had to be removed as it was being attacked, but did not fix printing issue. 2nd tech could not get VPN to work after 1st tech. 3rd tech, 4hours, and I got that the router is a piece of ... So I'm out over 1000, and not able to have a simple router set up. The present situation. New RV042 with firmware V4.1.1.01, using Cisco VPN client 5.0.07.0410, most XP 32 bit machines coming into network, one 64 bit win 7. My clients have been unable to access their data for too long.
I'm trying to set up 2 subnet with two RV042 routers. One router will act as a gateway and both WAN ports will be used by two different isp connection. The first router (gateway) LAN IP will be 192.168.0.1/24. I would also like to set up another router behind the gateway with with separate subnet 192.168.1.X/24. And I would like clients on the 192.168.1.x subnet to use the internet through the gateway router and clients on the 192.168.0.x subnet to access resources on the 192.168.1.x subnet. Am I able to do this with two RV042?
The issue is when I am using PPTP the router seems to die, not every time but I would say about once a week now. I am the only PPTP user, simply using RDP. A few hours into an RDP session the PPTP connection drops and cannot be re-established, or quickvpn, nothing. Routing still works (somewhat, high latency) locally.
When I've checked the logs both times I see:

I have an RV042 connected via VPN to the office (to a LinkSys DFL-700). Sometimes the VPN is dropped and never activates again. In this state, if I try to connect to the WEB interface, I can log in, but the router hangs at the login screen. I have to power recycle the router to make it work again.
Updated to latest firmware 4.2.1.02 for V3 hardware. The funny thing is that services from the WEB routed through to local IP adresses on the lan is still accessible. I have setup PPPT VPN on the router, and that also fails to work.
Is there, as a workaround, any possibility to access the routers reset page or access via TELNET to reset the router? This migth be useful, when I'm out. (I have a backup solution to access the local network at home).
I have just purchased the RV042 and while it is working great on WAN1 over Xfinity/Comcast broadband, I'm unable to get it working with my AT&T DSL for WAN2. I am planning on running this in failover mode - not load balancing.
The DSL modem it is connected to is a SpeedStream (hooking up laptop directly works etc. etc.). The SpeedStream is set to PPOE authentication passed in via the computer (in this case the RV042). On the RV042 side, I set it to use PPOE, using the credentials as given my AT&T DSL. The DNS servers are set to the ones recommended
i have setup vpn connection (client-gateway) using quick vpn ( default cisco) and third party like thegreenbow. connection is ok (established) but why from outside I can only ping to IP LAN PC , if I ping ip server the result is request time out(failed). I have been trying do this to 3 server ( windows server 2003 as OS).four your information I have made firewall "OFF" on all of those servers. the result is same, failed.
I'm tryig to put a computer into the DMZ and then access it from computers on the LAN using a local IP address. My reason for doing this is that I'd like my DMZ computer to be a locked down web server (just ports 80 and 443 open to the outside), but I need to be able to have more access to it from inside my LAN (e.g. I want to be able to SSH into it from the LAN).
Thus far I've been able to get a computer set up in the DMZ and can access the Internet from the DMZ computer. And I can access the DMZ computer from the LAN computers using the public address for the DMZ computer. But I can't access the DMZ computer from the LAN computers using a private address for the DMZ computer. see the attached file for a diagram of our current settings. A few descriptions:
- Verizon provides us with a number of static IP addresses, i.e. 71.123.123.10-12 (note these aren't actually the addresses, but representative).
-- In the RV042, I have the following configurations made: - Setup > Network > LAN Setting - Device IP Address = 10.4.20.1
I have a static DSL connection and my ISP is giving me 4 static IP's. I have connected my RV042 to the DSL modem and I have now 1 subnet at 192.168.0.0. What I want to create is a WEB server/ Email server, but to sit on a different subnet - 192.168.5.0. For now I have connected the server to the DMZ port, but I am unable to to access it from WAN, only from LAN. How to configure properly the 2 subnets (192.168.0.0 and 192.168.5.0) and how to forward my static address to the server which I which to be on the 192.168.5.0.
We are currently installing RV-042 V3 Dual WAN VPN Routers for a Customer with an HQ Office & 3 Branch Offices. The Customer recently requested to use the WEB Filter feature available in the RV-042 V3 Router to do the followng : - " Block all the HTTP Traffic Except for the company Website " We tried all the Combinations between " Access Rules " & " Content Filtering " available under the " Firewall " but we always reach the result that either to Allow ALL HTTP Tarffic to All Websites or to Block ALL HTTP Traffic.
how to Block all HTTP Traffic except for certain URL ( Using the URL Name NOT the IP Address ).
I've got half a dozen RV042 routers in various locations. They are running v4.0.0.07. Seemingly randomly, I got the 502 Bad GatewayThe CGI was not CGI/1.1 compliant. error when attempting to log into the web interface with google chrome (same with IE too). This happens from the LAN side. I actually didn't notice it until my Opsview monitoring software threw up a critical when it didn't get an http response. The router is otherwise actually working just fine.Since the first occurrence, more of my routers have developed the same error.
I've tried different browsers, clearing caches, though I'm not surprised those efforts were fruitless, as there is clearly a problem even when no browser is involved (nagios). The nagios http check also returns a 502 Bad Gateway.
I just replaced my old rv042 with the v3 and updated firmware to 4.0.4.02. i am looking for the MTU setting but i can't find it anywhere. Where that can be found?
I have been trying to resolve this issue with only allow facebook access throug the content filter between 12pm and 1 pm. However The settings never seem to take. Is this a bug in the system? If I start the filtering from 1300 to 1200 that should allow facebook to be accessible only on lunch.
I've had 1 to 1 NAT setup for years now with no issues and the other day it simply stopped working. Rebooted everything, had ISP clear arp on their cable modem yet nothing going. As soon as I remove the 1 to 1 NAT on the router the PC has internet access. Add the 1 to 1 back and no out going internet. The configuration is pretty basic and has not changed.Thinking it could be a hardware issue I swapped it out with another RV042 I have with the exact config, same thing 1 to 1 NATs have no internet access. Upgraded one of the RV042 firmware to Firmware Version: 1.3.13.02-tm, had cable modem replaced, spent numerous calls with ISP. nada
I have found one interesting thing however, any internal machine which is set to dhp works fine, and static ip that does not have a 1 to 1 nat works fine and the last ip in the 1 to 1 nat range works fine. If I extend the range it is always only the last ip that works. Even if I add 1 to 1 nats one line at a time, it is always the last entry that works..
