My brand new RV180 seems not to be able to exceed 1.1 MB/s WAN download speed. Using a simple Linksys WRT-320N I used to have 5-6 times this speed. Value is with default settings, various sources (HTTP/NEWS downloads). Trying to improve this wit QoS-settings dows not improve this in any way.
My internet connection speed, measured by speedtest.net with PC connected directly to cable modem, is ping=33ms, dn=48Mbps and up=7.6Mbps. (These values changes slightly with each test, sometimes being a bit higher and sometimes a bit slower, but usually being in the neighborhood of the 50Mbps promised by my ISP.) When this same test is run with the PC connected directly to a port on my RV180 (firmware version 1.0.1.9) the measured speed is ping=35ms, dn=30.66Mbps and up=7.45Mbps. Given that the RV180 is supposed to provide very fast WAN to LAN throughput (Small Net Builder's test result is 798Mbps dn and 811 up, measured with the same firmware version), why is my unit seemingly decreasing the internet connection (WAN) speed coming out of my cable modem? What, if anything, can I do to increase my WAN to LAN throughput?
When enabling the WAN Traffic Meter on my RV180 with firmware 1.0.1.9, my download speed drops to half of my capacity.WAN Traffic Meter disabled: download around 13 MB/sec, WAN Traffic Meter enabled: max 6 MB/sec.WAN QoS is disabled!
I purchased a Belkin N-300 router, model F9K1002V4, about 6 months ago, and recently upgraded my cable internet service to a 20+ mbps level, in hopes of improving the speed of my wireless devices. The speed on all of my wireless devices (a new laptop, ipad, and iphone) is still below 1mbps, even when I'm in the same room with the router. The speed on my wired computer registers above 20mbps, so I don't think the problem lies with the cable internet. I have tried to download the firmware update on Belkin's site, but my computer says it doesn't have the right program to run it, and it can't find the program on the web. I sent an e-mail to Belkin customer service, but they just sent me an automated reply, referring me back to their website, with the firmware update that I can't access.
I have a Arris DLS with 12 Mbps Download and when I Connect my laptop directly I get the same speed as 12 Mbps but when I do the speed test with my linksys I get only 5 Mbps. How to upgrade to the new WRT54GL or WRT54GS?
Recently my desktop has experienced very slow download speeds (~0.11 Mbps), however the upload speed appears to be in line (~2.0Mbps). These numbers are taken from Comcast's speed test (my ISP). It is obviously a problem with my PC because everything else on the network (PS3, Laptop) have great signals with no problems. I just recently reverted the Desktop back to its factory state, and everything was working fine for a couple of months. The desktop in question uses Vista 32-bit and the Belkin Basic USB Wireless Adapter.
I live in the tampa bay area, I have bright house (BHN) as my service provider, which provides a Road Runner Lightning (40/5) package. I previously used BHN's top tier (20/2) back in July (and prior) with no problems.
After converting to Lightning in August of this year (2010). Of course, BHN (and every other provider) wants to force a modem/router down your throat, so I had them bridge it (in short, turn it into a dummy modem with no routing). I had an SMC branded modem gateway at the time. I work from home 2 days a week (so I can spend more time with my kids during morning, lunch, right after work) and this requires me to use QoS to ensure my VOIP work calls don't get dropped, if the family is watching youtube videos or watching netflex.
My network was as follows SMC Modem >WAN IP>>WAN Port>>D-link DIR-655>>Switch Ports>PC1, PC2, PC3
Everything seemed fine (from a usability stand point) till about 2 weeks ago when my upload speed seemed to grind to halt. Normally I was able to upload about 200-300K per second, and I noticed this dropped to about 45K per second during a drop box upload. First thing I did was power cycle both my modem and router (in the proper/usual order). After they both come up, I start using speed test to find out what my upload speeds were. I was getting about 39Mbps down, but only .56Mbps up still. I factory reset my router.... test, similar speeds. Power cycle all computers (just in case), and then modem/router. Tested, similar speeds. Updated the firmware to the latest. Same issue
Called BHN customer service, they factor reset it, but it wasn't in bridge mode. If I by passed the 655, in factory mode (non bridge mode) upload speeds returned to better than expected states. If I bridged the cable modem, upload speeds seemed to crash.
Had BHN replace the modem, seemed fixed for a day, then issue came back. Had them come back out and replace it again, this time with a Motorolla Surfboard modem... same issue. Fine during factory reset, however after they bridge the modem, upload speeds were fine. Told BHN I would take it from there.. Connected up the DIR-655, and upload speeds crashed again. (.6Mbps). Called D-Link Support, and the Chinese English speaking rep seemed to not be listening to me and tried to have me adjust my MTU as well as Wireless settings. Long story short... the rep was a level 0 id10t and I hope D-link will consider hiring better employees/contractors. So I was all about to give up and replace it with a DD-WRT capable router (which it takes me a lot to want to swap hardware), when I discovered the wan shaping was on. Which I thought to myself... nah... QoS has never messed up before... why would it be the cause. Turned off wan shapping... and voila. Issue seemed to be insta-resolved.
Unsatisfied with that... I decided to dig a lil deeper. I turned on Wan shaping again, but decided to set the settings manually instead of auto detect.
Here are the settings I used... (Advanced Tab>QoS) Enable Traffic Shaping - Checked Automatic Uplink Speed - Unchecked Manual Uplink Speed - 5000 Connection Type: Cable or Other Broadand Network
Enable QoS Engine - Checked Automatic Classification - unchecked (this checked seemed to affect my upload speed by about 5-10% during testing) Dynamic Fragmentation - unchecked (this checked seemed to be the worse enemy for upload speed)
While I know I'm not any network guru (still have to use a subnet calculator for subnetting), I think I did a pretty good job drilling down the issue (once I got passed my service provider replacing modems).
Anyways, I've had overall good luck with D-Link products, even have a 5 port 10/100 switch (all metal) from 1998 that works great. Hopefully, D-Link will just either put more documentation on the web, or hire better employees.
I have an RV180 VPN router.I try to enable the VPN users with PPTP or QuickVPN but is not working.For PPTP sometimes my windows 7 connects to the router, sometimes doesn't connect with a random error message.When it connects, the windows 7 from outside the lan can see the computers from inside the lan but the computers from inside the lan cannot see the windows7 one. This is random also. When i succed to connect, from that computer, the internet is not working anymore.I tried to set the VPN in the same subnet as lan, i tried with different subnet. Is not working.I updated the last firmware. The same.Restore factory settings couple of times, the same.
I noticed if you add more than 10 access rules to the Access Rule table, you are unable to reorder past the first 10.Steps to reproduce:Create 11 rules of the same stream direction, outbound or inbound (...I found the bug with outbound, did not test inbound).try to reorder one of the first 10 rules to the end of the list, either by entering "11" manually, or by pressing the down arrow.System responds that "11" is an invalid number, or that the rule cannot be moved.This issue is not reported in the "Known Issues" section of the release notes for 1.0.1.9.
Which vpn client to use on os x ? (the one included in os x or another?) Which VPN configuration to use on RV180 ? and Which ports to open on RV180 Firewall ? (or any other parameters)
In both cases above, after I started to suspect QOS, I entered a narrow IP range to test and then a MAC to test. Using a VLAN seems to work fine and generate no errors - even a VLAN for the same associated host(s).
I have a support case open about this - didn't get too far yet, but now with a better repro, maybe they will.
I currently have an RV180 in a small business set-up and curently being accessed remotely by laptops (Quick VPN) and Ipads/Android ICS tablets (PPTP). All is working well but I've become concerned about the security risks of PPTP and would like to shift the tablets to IPSec.
1) For a small business are the PPTP risks real?
2) What are the alternatives for Android ICS? I can't find a Quick VPN client for Android.
3) I can't get the core IPSec VPN in Android to connect to the RV180? Is this possible?
I have RV180 configured with two VLANs. First VLAN is untagged and second VLAN is tagged. The purpose is two have two subnets, with the second subnet used for guest access. Both VLANs have DHCP server enabled. First VLAN is 192.168.1.0/24 and the second VLAN is 192.168.2.0/24, When I connect a computer with untagged Ethernet interface, it gets an IP address from DHCP server on the first subnet i.e. 192.168.1.100 and it can successfully access Internet. When I connect a computer with tagged Ethernet interface (I am using VLAN ID 10), it gets an IP address from DHCP server on the second VLAN i.e. 192.168.2.100. So far so good. I can successfully ping hosts on the Internet i.e. ping www.google.com. But I cannot access Internet from the web browser. I captured Wireshark trace and here is what I see...
1. TCP SYN. Source IP 192.168.2.100, destination IP A.B.C.D. Ethernet frame has VLAN tag (VLAN ID 10) 2. TCP SYN ACK. Source IP A.B.C.D, destination IP 192.168.2.100. Ethernet frame has VLAN tag (VLAN ID 10) 3. TCP ACK. Source IP 192.168.2.100, destination IP A.B.C.D. Ethernet frame has VLAN tag (VLAN ID 10) 4. TCP Data. Source IP 192.168.2.100, destination IP A.B.C.D. Ethernet frame has VLAN tag (VLAN ID 10) 5. TCP Data. Source IP A.B.C.D, destination IP 192.168.2.100. Frame is untagged
The problem is at #5. Packet came back from the Web Server. RV180 properly NATed it to the local IP address. But it did not add VLAN tag.
I just recieved a new RV180 yesterday and it will not connect to my switch. Router was updated to the newest firmware, reset to factory settings. I did change the ip and ip range. Router works fine with one computer attached direct. As soon as I connect my sf300-24P to it, the WAN and LAN lights all light up and then go out. Only the WAN will light back up. I have no connectivity to the router. I plug the laptop to the router directly and no LAN lights come on and can not see the router with arp -a.
I'm considering upgrading a small business to the newly released RV180 or RV180W.Does the RV180 series support 6rd (IPv6 rapid deployment?).I see 6rd documented in the other small business routers (e.g. RV110), but I can't find it in the RV180 documentation.
I'm having issues getting QuickVPN to connect. I think it's an issue pinging the gateway but I'm not 100% sure. We are using Comcast Business, I have placed the RV180 in the DMZ. The setup looks like this: Internet -> Comcast router -> RV180 (DHCP) -> rest of network.
Is there a guide to setup a VPN connection using this router? I've follow the setup guide provided by cisco but I'm having issues. When attempting to connect using the quick vpn client, I get error messages.
Any news on a new firmware for the RV180? I have the most recent version but it still has lots of bugs. IPSec needs polishing. In addition the Logging functions don't work well. I can't send to a syslog and when I try to email the logs I get a email saying there is no data even though several pages of enteries are visible in the web GUI. I've checked the profiles and they are correct. I even tried using just the 'default' profile but no luck.
I have a Cisco Small Business RV180 and I have several VPN users configured. IPsec between my home router (also an RV180) and work router (router in question) is working fine, several PPTP users working fine and 1 QVPN user that works as well. I set up another qvpn user and it didn't work. I went back into the router to check and make sure I hadn't goofed something up and saw that I had 8 lines, 1 and 2 were the QVPN users and 6 other PPTP users, however, the "pages" footer (for lack of a better word) only displays 1 -5 of 5 instead of the 1-8 of 8 I would expect it to show.I dumped the cfg file and opened it up, all 8 user configurations show up. One was my user account which showed negative numbers for the logon time, something like -1day -hours -minutes -sec, so I thought that that might be locking up the router or something so I deleted my PPTP account but it didn't allow the new user access. I deleted all PPTP accounts and no luck there either.I'm running firmware 1.0.2.6.
I am contemplating replacing my Juniper Netscreen 5GT with this new RV180.
serial number 161303LB RVC180 V01
However, it will not connect to my ISP (DSLExtreme) using the same settings I have been using for multiple years. DSLExtreme is using AT&T DSLAMS, as you likely know, and I am unaware of anything unique about how they serve DHCP?
The Cisco wizard sits on the WAN configuration check forever, and never connects. I have rebooted it and allowed it to sit for fifteen minutes trying. I think that is enough.
The 5GT WAN interface is configured for "DCHP Client" and that is how the RV180 is configured.
It is a standard 6MB DSL line, I have tried both the existing cable, as well as the provided one to connect to the D-Link 2320B modem/bridge, which, as I indicated, syncs almost instantly with the Netscreen. No difference when the cables are swapped.
The RV180W would not connect to an AT&T DSL connection using PPPoE (modem in bridge mode), or behind the DSL Modem/router with the DSL modem/router providing a dynamic IP to the RV180W or a cable modem (TimeWarner Roadrunner dynamic IP). I upgraded the firmware yesterday and now the RV180W will connect to a dynamic WAN IP, but it still will not connect using PPPoE.
I have also noticed the admin interface is only accessible about 75% of the time. When going to 192.168.1.1 the login prompts either don't come up or if they do, after logging in, the screen never fully loads after that. I have to reboot the router to get it to work.
Also, the router has not yet pulled DNS from either the DSL or the cable modem. I had to manually enter those addresses.
I've been trying to connect L2L between RV180 and ASA5505 but no succeed.I can do RV180 to RV180 l2l with one of it on Aggresive mode. working configuration sample of RV180 L2L ASA5505?
My RV180 does not route properly between LAN and WAN through my PPPoE account. I am able to ping public IPs directly from the RV180 (through the diagnose section) but can not do it from any PC on LAN. The exact same configuration works perfectly well with a Linksys WTR610N. I upgraded formware from 1.0.0.30 to 1.0.1.9 but that did not make any difference.
The only time the RV180 will route is right after I reset to factory defaults and re-enter PPPoE account name and password. If I then reset my modem or the RV180, the RV180 does not route anymore between WAN and LAN even after several minutes and even though I can ping public IPs from the RV180.
My work laptop uses a Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client (Software Version 2.5.2006). The connection protocol is DTLS.I recently upgraded to a Cisco RV180 at home at it is running the latest software version (1.0.1.9).
Since the RV180 went into service the work laptop will connect intermittantly. Usually email works but web browsing and and other services do not. It is slight strange behaviour- and seems to defy what a VPN should do......
The behaviour is very repeatable. For example from the customers office the laptop connects perfectly via VPN and if I swap back to an older inferior make of router at home VPN also works normal without changes to the laptop configuration.
I work for a large company (70,000+ employees) and we use "standard" builds so altering the laptop configuration is not really an option.
It seems to me that the RV180 doesn't support the DLTS VPN connection (indeed DLTS passthrough isn't an option in the VPN passthrough list) and is possibly blocking some incoming packets on the WAN interface.
I haven't yet tried a firewall rule to allow a DLTS (or UDP perhaps?) connection back in from the WAN side (obviously from just the IPs at my work end) but this is the only option I can think of to make this machine connect "correctly".
This week, I replaced a netgear FVS318G with a Cisvo RV180, firmware 1.0.2.6. I have a very limited knowlege of routers and protocols, mostly from exposure as a home user. My goal is to define firewall rules on my RV180 that define when my tween-aged kids can and cannot play on X-Box live, as was the case on the FVS318G. I am aware that X-Box has several port ranges. Specifically, I have defined the following for one XBox port range to always block, as an example:
[code]...
A similar rule on the FVS318 would block XBOX (and also on a schedule), but this is not the case on the RV180. I guess I don't uderstand how to correctly implement rAccess Rules on this device.
I have 2 static IP addresses that I'd like to point to 2 corresponding servers in my LAN. I've followed the Access Rule and One-to-One NAT instructions as best I can (screenshots of each for one of the static IP scenarios attached), but no luck. The static IPs bring the outside/WAN user to the RV180's admin login screen.
I have setup a new RV180 and it appears to be connected to the WAN, however, I cannot ping the external IP. In some of the documentation, there are references to default access rules, however, there does not appear to be any rules setup. What other settings need to be made to allow the firewall to be pinged on the WAN interface?
I just set up a new RV180 router in a SOHO environment. A couple questions regarding the configuration possibilities:
1) Is there any way to deny static IP LAN traffic and force all clients to DHCP? It seems the RV180 is very "IP range" based, so I'm dividing user privileges based on IP grouping. It would be simple for a user to circumvent this by simply assigning a static IP address in a range that has higher access.
2) Is the Access Rules table a "first match" or "last action" type of table? Meaning... "first match": the first rule that matches all conditions is hit and the rest of the table is ignored. "last action": the last rule that matches all conditions to modify the traffic is what is used.
The reason I ask this is I want to ban all outbound traffic from a range of IP except a handful of services, and there are multiple layers of internal IP ranges that will be allowed different levels of outbound access.
Web server is behind Cisco RV180 VPN Router. Port 80 is forwarded to web server. all the rest is default. when web application requests user's host address, then it appears as coming from our router's local address (10.0.0.1). what needs to be configured so that RV180 would pass on client's original IP?
