Cisco Routers :: RV120W Rebooting Itself When WAN (ADSL Modem) Breaks Away
Aug 16, 2011
I have a RV120W that reboots itself when the WAN (ADSL modem) breaks away. With an old D-Link low end router, reconnecting after a failure is completed after 5 seconds and nobody cares, but the RV rebooting takes almost 2 minutes which is actually noticed...I also have some trouble getting VPN running, QuickVPN as well as normal IPsec, using either Shrewsoft or Greenbow as clients. get this router running with 3rd party VPN clients?
I am wanting to force the n600 to g.dmt for a more stable connection. cannot work out how to do it. am force into using old modem as far from the dslam and forcing adsl 1 improves performance.
I have a Cisco wag120n adsl modem. I am setup with a SIP provider, so all my incoming and outgoing calls use SIP.So my question is, how does my ADSL modem handle incoming SIP calls,e.g the SIP call comes in and reaches my adsl modem. Then, how does the modem find the actual port that has my ATA adaptor (analog phone) or CME router attached ? I know port forwarding would handle this, but I am not actually using any configured port forwarding rules.
Have one switch and network.PC number one have win98 and network adapter and connected to the switch.PC number two have winXP and network adapter and connected to the switch same as win98.Network works on win98 and winxp they see each other.internet working on winxp but dont work on win98
I bought "Belkin N150 Wireless Modem Router" and while installing noticed that the ADSL slot is too short that does not fit the LAN chord, instead fits the telephone chord. How do I fit the LAN chord fit in the ADSL slot? Any alternatives? My ISP comes with a LAN chord and is connected directly to my PC.
Lately I encountered random Internet connection issues?My router is a Netgear Wireless ADSL Firewall Modem Router DG834 (Firmware V1.05.0) and my ISP, isn't the most reliable regarding bandwidth... All clients (max 3 at the same time) connect wireless.The problem is that the last few weeks my connections is very unstable, all clients lose the internet connection until you restart the router manually.I can't even connect to the webinterface (192.168.0.1), during the downtimes.
I've been having this problem the past 2 days. around 7-7:30pm my motorola sbg6580 will reboot itself every 15m or so the rest of the night.I've checked all my line they are in good condition, I've done the whole pull out all the cords let it sit for 1 minute, I've factory reset it.called the cableone tech support and it even reset while i was on the phone with him. I have a tech coming out tuesday but if it's something i can troubleshoot and fix now i'd rather have that.
I have upgrade the firmware on several RV082 (and RV042) model routers, and all of them have had subsequent WAN connectivity loss. The WAN works for a while, then stops working until the router is restarted, then fails shortly thereafter. I would assume it was some configuration corruption on incompatibility with the upgrade, but the symptom has been universal. EVERY 2.x upgrade I've made to a RV082 or RV042 router has exhibited this symptom. Reverting to the 1.3.98-tm firmware fixes the issue.
I just spent a number of hours getting a site-to-site VPN tunnel and Cisco Quick Connect client running on my WRVS4400N and RVS400. Turns out the problem was the routers don't route IPv6 properly and it takes precedence over IPv4
I work for a small pharmacy that uses a Cisco RV120W router to separate hospital VPN traffic from general internet traffic. The VPN traffic is redirected to a dedicated T1 line (Or T-something, I wasn't involved in the actual setup of the VPN) connecting our store directly to the local hospital, and general internet traffic gets redirected to a ZyXel PK5000Z DSL modem (We have Qwest/CenturyLink 7m/768k). The DSL modem is running the latest version of our ISP's custom firmware.
Prior to installing the VPN and RV120W, LAN traffic was handled with a basic D-Link DI-604 wired router. The router itself was configured with an IP of 10.100.100.254 (With all LAN clients assigned DHCP IPs in the 10.100.100.XXX range) and "WAN" IP of 192.168.0.4, and the modem configured with a LAN IP of 192.168.0.1. The router was connected from it's WAN port to one of the LAN ports on the modem.
The modem has it's own built-in router, but the store owner wished to have an "extra layer of protection", so to speak, and had the D-Link router installed to serve that purpose. Prior to connecting the VPN, a second router was admittedly redundant and unnecessary. However, now that we have the hospital VPN, a second router is REQUIRED to properly separate the VPN traffic from other internet traffic, since the router built into the DSL modem doesn't have the capabilities to perform this task (We had already attempted to operate the VPN over DSL...it failed miserably and spectacularly. A dedicated T1 was the only reliable option).Anyway, when installing the RV120W, we duplicated every possible setting from the old router, including configuring it with a LAN IP of 10.100.100.254 and a "WAN" IP of 192.168.0.4 and connecting it in exactly the same fashion as the old router (Modem LAN to Router WAN). Essentially, the RV120W was set up exactly the same as the old D-Link router, just with the added VPN functionality.
The problem is this: ever since installing the RV120W, we are no longer able to access the DSL modem's administration page (http://192.168.0.1). We were able to do this without any trouble whatsoever with the old D-Link router, but the RV120W seems to be blocking it somehow. Any attempt to load the modem administration page just forever sits at "Waiting for 192.168.0.1...". It never times out, it never shows any error messages. It just sits there, forever trying to load the page, showing nothing but "Waiting for 192.168.0.1..." at the bottom of the screen.
Now, we know for a fact that it is NOT a problem with the modem, because if we connect a computer directly to it via ethernet (Completely bypassing the RV120W), the administration page loads perfectly fine. And, admittedly, we could configure the modem in this manner whenever required. HOWEVER, the modem is located in a rather inconvenient location (In the ceiling, sitting on top of a ceiling tile), and having the ability to remotely manage it like we could before would definitely be something we want to be able to do again...especially since there are plans in motion to install new pharmacy equipment that will require us to do a ton of "trial and error" configuration to the modem.The RV120W has been updated with the latest firmware, yet the problem still persists.
I have a Linksys RV042 10/100 4-Port VPN Router with Firmware Version 1.3.13.02 and l have noticed that the Router keeps rebooting on average every couple of hours.We have it setup for Load Balancing 2 ADSL Services.
I've got a WRVS4400N V2 Router that just keeps rebooting itself. It powers up, the red LED stays lit, it gets part way through the boot process and reboots itself. I would like to try to re flash the device, but don't know if this is possible in the condition that it is in.
I've got a RV220W that for some reason has started acting a bit strange. A couple of times a day the network stops functioning, both wireless and wired. At first I thought this had to do with my newly installed laptop, that it maybe caused some hickup that made the router reboot but even when it's turned off I can still read in the logs of my NAS server (Qnap TS-419P+) that "Lan 1 is down" followed by a "Lan 1 is up" a couple of minutes after.
The things connected to the network by wire is my Macbook Pro (2012), the Qnap and an LG home theater system and the wireless devices are a couple of iPhones and an iPad. The problems started after new years eve and I've been running the latest firmware (1.0.4.17) for a few weeks before that.
Upgraded to 1.0.2.6 and all of a sudden SIP devices working over the VPN no longer work. Downgrade to 1.0.1.3 and they work again. My guess is that some ports are blocked over the VPN in 1.0.2.6
I thought the general idea was that firmware ugrades fixed bugs rather than introducing them.
Suggestion for Cisco:- Zip the firmware image downloads, or else have an upgrade process that includes a CRC check, that way at least the poor punter will have an indication if they have been corrupted. I had a subtle memory problem that was corrupting some files. The firmware upload appeared to complete properly and you could log on OK but some of the menu choices resulted in a hang with the "Please wait... the page is being loaded" message. Careful checking of file sizes revealed that the file I was uploading into the router was a few hundred bytes different in size to the one on the website, must have been corrupted during the download. But the upload proceeded normally with no indication of any error. It's a pretty basic safeguard that should be in there as a matter of course with the router performing a CRC check and showing an error if it fails.
I had WRT54G2 and recently switched to an RV120W. I have an Internet accessible camera system connected to my router. Before, this worked fine... there is a dns service (DynDNS.com) that is configured as part of the camera setup. I would then just enter [URL] and I would connect to the cameras. I install the new router (RV120W) and I can no longer connect to the cameras. I do not recall any configuring that I had to perform on the old router.
why the RV120W isn't letting me get to the cameras?
Rx:, recently I have perchase 2 RV120W routers thinking that it must be very easy to setup the site to site vpn. i cannot get my remore office to link to my main office and vice verser.
Scenaro
- I'm using 2 RV120W routers for each site. - Site A using a subnet of 192.168.10.0 mask 255.255.255.0 - Site B using a subnet of 192.168.11.0 mask 255.255.255.0
I have setup the VPN using the wizard and I got site to site tunnels connected and show as 1/1 Connected (1 user) in the status he IPsec connection status show
--Policy Name: VPNA --Endpoint : public IP address from my ISP 203.117.222.221 --Packets Tx:145 Rx:0 and Kbytes shows Tx: 29.55 Rx:0
Q1 why I cannot use dynamic DNS naming in the policy setting ? eg: aaa.dyndns.org, I have to use the ip address instead eg: 203.117.222.221
Q2. I cannot connect from Site A to Site B , I can't even do a ping to 192.168.11.1 from Site A. even though it show the Site to site tunnel is coonected.
Now, I need to be able to reach the server (192.168.1.100) from a PC on LAN #2 with IP 192.168.2.50. So, I've created au static route on Office Router #2 (192.168.2.1) because of course it doesn't know how to reach private subnet 192.168.1.x. My static route looks like this :
our RV220W router has been experiencing random reboots throughout the day, causing a network outage for our local network for the few minutes it takes for the router to start up again. We've seen it reboot at least 5 today alone (and the time is currently just a little over 1pm).I'm having trouble finding the reason for these reboots in the router's logs, although I find these two lines repeating in the error log:
I'm not sure why these messages pop up, since we're not using the bandwidth limiter module of the router (granted, we do use QoS profiles to ensure our own LAN is prioritized over the guest VLAN). I'm also not sure whether this is related to the router reboots.
I also find the following repeated line in the warning log:
Mon Jan 28 12:50:50 2013(GMT+0100) [rv220w][Kernel][KERNEL] ERROR:endChantRecv: protocol PNAC returned !OK
The router is currently running on firmware version 1.0.4.17 (latest official release), since we needed support for hairpin connections (as I found out in a previous thread of mine). I've seen the suggestion of downgrading to a previous firmware version in another thread, which has possibly solved it for the poster in that thread, but as we really need the hairpinning support, I don't know which firmware version is safe enough to downgrade it to, if needed.
I have a persistent any very annoying issue that the router reboots on it's own when I am streaming video from Netflix or other similar applications.
I read some reviews about this router which stated that this was a known problem, but apparently was resolved with latest firmware updates.
My router is new (less than 1 year). It came originally with the 2.0.1.2 firmware which I updated to the 2.0.1.3
That did not resolve the problem. So my question is, is there any aditional configuration necessary to stream video without interruptions, or, is this a hardware problem?
I have an RV016 V3 with firmware 4.2.1.02 that is constantly rebooting making it unusable. I have one LAN connect and 3 WAN's, 2 DSL's and one Cable Internet in a load balance config. I have tried firmware 4.2.1.01 and it reboots also. do I get and RMA from Linksys and send this pig back?
I have Desktop and Laptop connected to a Huawei-make,Model No Smart AX 882, ,via ethernet & USB port. Is it possible to convert the same ADSL wired modem into a wireless modem for my Laptop. the type of hardware to be used (e.g., wireless access point or a wireless router) through my USB port in the wired modem? what is the configuration change I have do in my wired broad band modem?
I configured my RV120W (Firmware:1.0.2.6) to count the traffic on my network. I set the monthly limit to 99999 and did not change anything else.So after a few hours, the traffic counter shows 2048 MB for outgoing traffic. This is impossible, because the DSL-connection is too limited in upload to cause this huge outgoing traffic in 6-8 hours. When I reset the counter at night, the next morning the device shows 2048MB again (even if there was no traffic at all, just some clients syncing time with NTP). I did already reset the device to factory defaults and reconfigured everything from scratch.
I was wondering if I could setup my router CIsco RV120W to be able to connect to a VPN serice for my internet connection. Looking to give my small home netwok more sercurity. Is it possible with the Cisco firmware to be able to setup a connection to VPN serice. Do I have the compabilites with this router?
The PPTP client from Windows 7 is not working with this router; therefore I would like to try the quickvpn.Is there any paper from Cisco explaining how to setup the RV120W for quickvpn ?
I need to configure a rv120w in order to make it work at the same time for data and digital tv. The fact is that the set top box for the idtv needs an IP address that will be delivered directly from the ISP. So I need to setup one LAN port that will be bridged to the WLAN connection (the stb will be connected to that lan port), and another port that will be connected to the LAN swicth so that the rest of the network has internet access. I can't see anywhere a way to create such a bridge. Quite disappointing as it's possible to do so on open source platforms such as openWRT..
When I try to export an SSL Certificate for a Client I get a htps . CSR file instead of the .PEM file. So, I can't update the client computer with the correct certificate.
I have just received an RV120W. Default setup (out of box), but when I http://192.168.1.1 and login, the next page comes up as : Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage ? Internet Explorer is version 9.
I have allowed both http and https at 192.168.1.1 in Internet Explorer security settings/Trusted Sites ?
