Cisco Routers :: RV180W And WAN Traffic Meter (bug)
Sep 10, 2012
I have rv180w (firmware 1.0.1.9) and 1 Gbit/s internet.When i turn on WAN Traffic meter, WAN speed down to 100mbit/s.I didn't find any suggestions in official documentation.Is this a bug or undocumented feature?
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.
When WAN traffic meter is enable on RV180 router maximum throughput drops to 40Mbps from ~120Mbps.Enabling WAN traffic meter is needed to get SNMP data from WAN port.
Web server log showing the issue: 2013-03-08 05:39:21 192.168.1.102 POST /somewebpage/somefile.htm - 80 - 192.168.1.1 - 404 0 0 6098 410 457
ISSUE: 100% of the traffic forwarded through the router is taking on the IP address of the router when it arrives at the web server. In this case, 192.168.1.1
My email server and FTP servers are having fits due to the anti-hammering issue that this creates.
I simply got the run around and they told me to call level 2 support and did not provide me with a contact number. For some reason, he refused to escalate the call. They simply told me to contact someone from a previous issue in which they gave me the beta firmware to download and I spent a lot of time on the phone to get that far. I do NOT want to speak with the same person who addressed my last issue.
Initially we had a rv110w in place and had problems with the port forwarding stopping a few times a day so we replaced with with a RV180W. Now port forwarding appears to be staying up, however I have a new problem. We host a web page, for some reason when an internal user points the url to the web page it resolves to the web interface of the Router and not the expected web page. If you are outside of the network it resolves to the correct web page. I am not sure why this is happening as it didn't happen with the RV110W or the PIX before that.
I am working w/ WNDR3700, and I've been trying to take a look at the traffic meter to judge how much I actually us.
In 7 days I supposedly already used 30gig. There are only two computers to the network and the most we do is Pandora/gaming. Is this router incorrectly reading incoming/outgoing data? Is there someone logging into my router and downloading freaking porn or something? Because whenever I check to see connected devices, I only see our comps, are they able to hide their device on the router?

I got : RV180W router updated with the last firmware.Static IP for the DMZ host (Synology Server 212+) My problem is that I had try all combinaison since 10 days to get IP source in synology interface (to block IP's of bad connections...) but, I only see the RV180W adress....So impossible to block bad connections IP.
I would like to ask if what is the difference between RV180W-E-K9-G5 and RV180W-A-K9-NA specifically the -E and the -A. As far as I know -A is the compliance code for Philippines. Am I right? If yes, what about -E? There is a documentation for wireless complaince on Aeronet devices but what about these SB products?
I installed the RV180W yesterday and decided to play with it a bit today. I got stuck on the firmware update. Tried different browsers on different PC's. Tried going to 1.0.1.9 first. I have the "reset all configurations" button checked. After looking through the posts here I'm not sure this firmware will even fix my next few problems(port forwarding etc). Is there a trick with this device?
I'm trying to make the VPN connection between two routers CISCO RV180w.I performed the basic configuration in cisco "server". I did the same in cisco "client".The following configuration and logs, do not know what to do ...
SERVER CONFIGURATION: IKE Policy Configuration: VPN Policy Configuration: CLIENT CONFIGURATION:
We have installed a fiber internet access and have the ONT from the provider already installed.We're trying to use the RV180W to use this internet connection. [code] So I need to configure the router with the .36 static IP on the WAN, and using the .37 gateway and the provided DNS servers. I also need that this WAN is tagged with VLAN ID 20. I'm only able to set VLAN ID on the LAN ports via the admin interface.
I am struggling to configure my new RV180w router to accept a VPN connection from my Apple computers.
I wish to use IPSec with Group and Pre-Shared Key authentication. The RV180 has just replaced my 800 series ADSL router and I want my remote clients to be able to connect using either the VPN client capability built into the OS X operating system or the Cisco VPN Client software installed on their Macs.
So far, using the RV180's web setup screens, I have created a VPN Policy and a corresponding IKE Policy was created as well. I couldn't see anywhere to include the 'Group' name. I have created a user but wasn't sure of which Protocol to use so I am trying XAUTH.
At the client end some people are connecting using Cisco's VPN Client software Download Software - Cisco Systems
Some people, with OS X 10.6 and above, are using the Mac OS X network built-in VPN client.
We all connected without a problem to the previous 800 series router using IPSec with Group authentication and Pre-Shared key.
i've installed the new firmware on my router and now the UC is showing 100% all the time. I've tried to factory reset it, it's doing the same thing. If I downgrade to previous firmware, it goes back to normal . I've only 1 PC in my network (test lab), so no big traffic here. is it a bug ?
I just recently switched from the WRVS4400N to the RV180W. I have 4 VLANs, and I want VLANs 1, 2, 3 to communciate freely, but I DONT want VLAN 4 to communicate with anybody, just Internet access. On the WRVS4400N, I was able to do this using the Firewall > IP Based ACL. I notcied that the RV180W, does not have such an option. I am sure there is something I am missing, I just cant find out how to isolate VLAN 4.
we've changed our rv042 for a rv180w and now when I try to upload files to my ftp server (vsftpd under centos) it get stuck at 100%.I've changed my ftp server to proftpd instead of vsftpd and everything's ok.but vsftpd isn't the problem since i was able to upload with my rv042 without any problems.so i guess there's a problem with the rv180w security.i've already disable stealth mode and it's doing the same thing when i try to upload to the same server but through the vpn tunnel, everything's ok.So it's really in the rv180w lan->wan routing
Have not purchased RV180W at this time, therefore have not read manual. Need for small office, 2 VPN logins max & not 24x7 use. What VPN client software ? (using Win7-64bit laptops)
I did notice software called Quick VPN Client 1.4.2.1 for download.
Does buying RV180W allow download of Cisco Systems VPN Client software ?
I am located in UK which uses PPoA for ADSL broadband. I use a DrayTek Vigor120 ADSL2 Modem to act as an ADSL bridge and PPoA to PPPoE converter. This passes the ADSL authentication requirement (and subsequent single static IP address) to the Cisco Small Business RV180W sitting behind the Draytek. However, the RV180 (Firmware Version 1.0.0.30) cannot form the PPPoE connection. I have tested the modem, adsl username and password by creating a PPPoE interface on my computer and connecting this directly to the Draytek modem. The computer receives the expected IP address and I can ping remote public IPs. I have entered the username and password into the PPPoE profile,
Authentication type: CHAP (confirmed by ISP but I have also tried all other options just in case). Connection Type: Keep Connected. MTU Size: 1400 (also tried default, which worked OK on computer interface). MAC Address Source: Use Default (I have successfully used combined modem/router so a "fixed" MAC address is not required).
I live in China. I want all of my PC's and devices to connect through the RV180W VPN Router to a VPN provider in the US so that all of my traffic is encrypted and appears to have a US IP address. I need to find a VPN Service Provider that supports the RV180W and how to configure it. I don't want to configure every PC and device, I just want them to use the VPN conneciton at the router.
I am using DynDNS in lieu of a static ip. My ISP changed my WAN ip last night as expected however the RV180W did not update the WAN ip, and so the router is now offline. Using a secondary internet connection I have logged into DynDNS.com and checked my hosts file and confirmed the ipa has not updated since March. I changed the update period from 360 to 2 so this never happens again, but I need to now change the WAN ipa in the RV180W to match the new one. I remember a screen that shows the current WAN ip address greyed out under the present one, but I dont recll where to go to get to that. I am at a loss as to where I go in the RV180W to change the WAN ip address.
We are deploying over 20 RV180W Routers for a client and need to find a faster way to configure them for shipping.We have created a base image (all settings that will be shared between the 20 locations), we need an easy and quick way to make IP changes for the 3 VLANs and Local Security Groups for the IPSEC VPN.I tried to edit the CFG file by hand, but the checksum fails when it is loaded into the RV180W.How can I accomplish this? Can I manually create the checksum?Can I remove the checksum?
Comcast has indicated that this is required for IPv6 to work, and since it means gatting a /64 address space for my network I am understandably eager to tak advantage of this new functionality when it is available in my area.
I am wanting to purchase the RV180W for a small Optometrist office. We are beginning our transition to EHR and what to ensure the RV180W is HIPAA compliant and if not what would be the next best product for about the same price?
Our company own a RV180W router. It works well with firmware 1.0.1.9 but with firmware 1.0.2.6 it is impossible to SSH between our devices. Ping still works though.
We just recently invested in 5 RV180Ws to serve as replacements for the aging routers in 5 of our shops. Additionally, we bought them because they seem to offer robust WiFi options for customers/guests, such as multiple SSIDs and restricting 'public' traffic to it's own VLAN.
Straight out of the box we updated them to the new firmware, 1.0.2.6, set up 2 SSIDs (one hidden for employee use, and one broadcast for customer use), and plugged them in.
Everything seemed to be going great until we walked to the other side of the shop and watched the signal drop off almost completely. These are fairly small premises and the router can't be more than 8 metres from where the customers are, and yet the signal is so weak that it's almost unusable.
For reference, we have the WiFi running in B/G/N mixed mode to maximise compatibility. with the channel and width set to their defaults (Auto and 20MHz, I believe).
Moving the routers is only semi-viable; these are meant to serve as replacements for existing IT equipment, and the cabling situation means they can only really go in the office space near the rear of the shops. Also, it simply shouldn't be necessary; WiFi should extend well past 8 metres without issue.

Recently I bought a Cisco RV180W and would like to setup an IPsec VPN server for my team. However, it's asking for the remote client's IP or FQDN. How would I know the client's IP if I'm using WiFi connection from different places? Also, I'll be using my iphone to connect and the IP is not static. Is it Cisco not going to support this feature or already working on a fix? I searched the internet and some of the old topic on this forum. Seems like it's an old problem for RV220W and I don't see any intension that Cisco is going to provide a fix.
Also, I have an NAS and a PC connected to the RV180W on LAN. Seem like it's not possible remotely turn them on using Wake On LAN.
I am trying to set up DDNS for my network. Right now there are only RV180W for DDNS providers (DynDNS, TZO, and 3322).I wanted to use a free DDNS provider, however DynDNS and TZO are now pay only (or only a short free trial via credit card). 3322 seems untrustworthy, as Google is reporting that it is a security risk?Anyway, my question is: "Is there a way I use another DDNS service other than the ones offered by default in my RV180W?"
I have an RV180W Wireless-N with firmware# 1.0.1.9 The problem is that any Macintosh computer will not work with the wireless network.The problem is consistent with several MacBook laptops, running Leopard, Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion.The MacBook connects with the wireless network and obtains an IP address.However when the MacBook tries to access a web page, it fails loads.Accessing LAN assets like network volumes and printers works fine.All mobile devices, such as iPhones, iPods and iPads work fine.I have tried numerous wireless settings on the router and the MacBooks and nothing works.The problem happens regardless of what kind of wireless security is present.There is not MAC filter.
I am new to the RV180W. I am running the most recent firmware--version 1.0.1.9.
I am having trouble getting FTP to work with my QNAP NAS.
QNAP indicates that I should forward ports 55536-56559 to my NAS. I created a custom service to accomplish this, and then, under port forwarding, I selected the service and forwarded it to the private IP that corresponds with the NAS.
However, the port forwarding configuration only allows me to specify *ONE* internal port. With other routers I have always specified the same private port *RANGE* that corresponds with the public ports that I have opened up.
