Cisco Routers :: Vista And Windows 7 Dropping Connections Via RVS4000?
Jul 24, 2012
We have a newly-purchased RVS4000 v2 with firmware v2.0.2.7. Its intended role is as a gateway between our local network of wired workstations and a Cisco 2800 series Integrated Services Router, which is at the receiving end of our T1 line. It is configured with static IPs on both the LAN and the WAN side. It does NOT serve DHCP for the LAN. Ever since I installed it, I have had repeated complaints from users of Vista and Win7 workstations that they lose internet connectivity about every 20 - 30 minutes or so. The only solution is to unplug the workstation's CAT5 cable, count to 30, and plug it back in. Then everything's hunky dory for another 20 - 30 minutes. Meanwhile, all our Windows XP and Linux workstations enjoy uninterrupted internet access. The router/gateway we replaced (a DLink DIR-130) never had this problem.

I have 2 internet connections in my office one via Verizon Fios and another one via the local cable company. On the fios connection I have an RV042 VPN router and on the Cable company connection I have an rvs4000 router, I would like to know if there is a way I can connect the 2 so I can share a printer I have on one of the 2 networks from the other network without using the VPN feature, like via an ethernet cable connected between the 2 and some kind of static route maybe?

The firewall on my RVS4000 appears to hang when ever I use Netflix. If I disable the firewall and re-enable it it works for a while and then stops again. My IP address is in the Approved Client IP Addresses so it is excluded from the URL filtering and Web reputation rules.

I have just moved homes and I am unable to connect wirelessly to the internet through the network in my new house. The computer is connected to the network with excellent signal strength but access shows as local only and will not connect to the internet.
All other computers have been able to connect to the internet with no problems, and my computer will connect to other wifi connections, no problem.I can connect with a wire directly to the router, but no luck with wifi. I have also had this problem with one previous wifi network. I have tried many things, including taking the compter to a computer shop for them to look at and having another professional look at it, but so far no luck.

I have two Windows 7 Ultimate computers and around 10 Windows XP (Home and Professional, SP2 and SP3) computers trying to connect to it. It's just a LAN (no internet access).I have set all of the password-protected sharing off on the Win 7 systems. I have tried opening up ALL of the permissions and such (since security is not really an issue).When I try to map the network drive, it won't let me merely connect to it. So, I have to click map network drive on the XP computer and hit "login with other credentials" and enter the username/pass for the user account on the Win 7 machine (we'll say Bob for user and Smith for password for the sake of example). It will mount the share (which is actually the C: root of the drive) just fine.
The only problem is the moment you restart the Windows XP system, it will lose the connection. My fix for it was to create a .bat file that contained the following: [code] I put it in the Progam FilesStartup folder to run upon boot. For the most part, it seems to work after a fashion. Some of the computers, though, will drop the connection to the two Windows 7 systems and need to be rebooted 1-2 times before they get it back again. Even clicking the .bat file manually will have the same result (you will have to reboot) if it drops the connection while you're using it. Plus, sometimes it doesn't map the drive correctly (I assume because the batch file is running before the connection has a chance to initialize on the LAN).I've also tried adding an "Everybody" user to the permissions on the Win 7 systems with full access, but it only seemed to cause problems with the existing connections.It might also be prudent to mention that both the Windows 7 and Windows XP systems are all 32 bit. I've also disabled the firewalls on the two Windows 7 systems. Neither of them have any antivirus or security software installed.

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 have my RVS-4000 configured using static IP addresses in the LAN configuration. The users use DHCP to get their addresses (for the most part, a couple may have static IPs set on the computer). I have the maximum number of DHCP users set to 1 to restrict the ability of people to log in to the system. That one address is locked down.
The internal address of the router is set to 182.168.2.1. It doesn't conflict with anything on my network. I have 35 static IPs. About half of them are uing IP Based ACL to limit their access time but that doesn't seem to bear any relationship to what drops off.
Almost daily one or more of the users will lose their IP address and a hard reset of the router is required. The user this happens to seems random and it may be more than one but seldom all of them. The network includes Windows7 (Home & Pro), a FreeNAS, Macs (Leopard and Snow Leopard), iPad, iPods, an iPhone and an AirPort Extreme used as a WAP (DHCP is disabled). The AirPort is plugged directly into the router and has a staic ip on the RVS-4000 but is set to DHCP. It seems to be the most common problem child.

Model: WAP4410N-A V02
Firmware version: 2.0.3.3
Deployed 3 of these as WAPs. No repeaters. They are spaced at least 50 feet apart over three offices, each in a server or switch room.
Across multiple laptops, and multiple WAPS, the wireless will function fine for a while with good bandwidth..then the connection will simply drop. By simply resetting the connection on the laptop or turning the wireless off then on, the connection typically returns, at least for a period of time before it drops again.
I’ve tried these configured as three separate SSIDs on identical channels, as well as one SSID for all three with different channels (preferred for a seamless wireless), and the behavior does not change either way.Based on some other threads, I tried forcing the LAN port speed to 100 mbps, but the problem persists.

I have a cisco RV180 hooked up to a cisco cable modem and Cox service.
The basic symptoms of the problem are that every 10 minutes or so external connections will hang. This lasts maybe 20-60 seconds. If you're loading a website when this happens, various parts of it won't load and firefox will sit and spin indefinitely (it seems) until you manually stop the loading and click the reload button.
When this is happening I can still connect to the routers webserver and dashboard that auto-refreshes every 10 seconds. It seems perfectly fine. My initial theory was that something was broken on the Cox end of things, but after swapping out the RV180 with an old on-q router we had laying around, we haven't seen the problems.
Some other differences I've noticed between the on-q and the rv180:
* with the rv180 traceroute to external hosts shows a big delay (500-600ms) at the hop right after the router. With the on-q, it's 12ms.
* when I ping the ip of that hop with the large delay, with the on-q I get no responses. With the rv180 I would get these strange host redirect messages that make it look like that ip is redirecting to itself. There would be 1 or 2 of those redirect responses, followed by 3 or 4 errors, and every packet would be listed as an error in the ping summary.

A couple of days ago, after a suggestion in a old forum post (rv180 dropping connections every 10 minutes or so) I tried increasing the various session timeouts. This didn't seem to affect anything for the first day, but last night the router started becoming unresponsive (not responding to pings, but maybe continuing to route established connections.) After a couple minutes the router would be pingable again, and as soon as i could I reverted the changes I made to the session timeouts. That didn't seem to fix the problem. Logs showed many many warnings saying "nf_conntrack table full, dropping packet."
Then as soon as I got on the phone with small business support the problem seemed to correct itself. The only thing we changed was decreasing the MTU to 1472. It is strange that the MTU would make a difference all of the sudden, isn't it?

I am getting crazy with our Cisco Linksys RV016. It handles 3 simultaneous connections to the internet using 3 ISP. All our company goes to the internet using this cisco linksys RV016, our corporate switches are connected as clients to the router. Sometime ago, this router started to drop POP3 connections to our network, when this problems is present, all users get Receiving' reported error (0x80042108) in Outlook 2007-2010. Currently i have setup POP3 service to use the First ISP connection, but when this problem is present, the only way to eventually resolve it is to switch the link POP3 Service from the First to the Third ISP, sometimes it works immediately, sometimes don't. We are using this router since 2007 but this problems started to arise from this month.
Our switch is the latest firmware available is Cisco website, this is the Firmware Version: 3.0.2.01-tm.

I just purchased the RVS4000 v2 to replace an old Netgear FVL328 VPN router which no longer met VPN needs. Despite the poor reviews for the RVS4000, it seems as though Cisco has solved many of the issues with the firmware releases of the last few years. However, I was just reading a post by someone attempting to connect Win 7 machines via VPN tunnel and it was not supported. I'd like to know if this is still an issue, as we stopped using VPN with the former Netgear router, instead relying on teamviewer (but I'd much rather reconfigure a VPN).

When I use QuickVPN under XP, I connect to my RVS4000 without problems. When I switch to new computer running Windows 7 and V4.2.1 QuickVPN I can get all the way to Verifying Network. Then I get the message that: "The remote gateway is not responding. Do you want to wait?" - repeatedly. The icon in the tool bar remains with a red slash and I am unable to ping devices on the lan side of the router. However, when I check the VPN Summary on the router, I see that it thinks I'm connected. When I check the VPN log I see that I am not:
Oct 12 10:27:53 - Configuration changed!
Oct 12 10:28:33 - Configuration changed!
Oct 12 10:28:34 - [VPN Log]: added connection description "ValR_rw_rw"
[Code]....
I've disabled MS Security Essentials and made sure the Firewall is on. IPSec Policy Agent and IKE and AuthIP IPSec Keying Modules services are both started. I've created a rule to allow QuickVPN throught the firwall in and out and a rule to let traffic on 443 and 60443 UDP and TCP through the Firewall.

Is there a safe way to use the Cisco VPN Client (V5.x) and Cisco Quick VPN (V1.4.1.2) on the same Windows PC? I need to access my office RVS4000 and my customer's PIX 506 from the same laptop (but not at the same time).
Perhaps I should be asking "Is there a single Windows VPN client that works with both the Cisco RVS4000 and Cisco PIX 506? I have seen these questions asked on various forums but have yet to see a definitive answer.

Using the latest Cisco QuickVPN, my Windows 7, 64 bit laptop processes the QuickVPN connection to the point where the laptop attempts to ping the router and verify the connection. Those pings fail.Windows firewall is ON and IPSEC is started on the laptop. I have tried Kaspersky's firewall both enabled and disabled with no change.

I have a home network with an Actiontec Q1000 providing me 20 meg down and 5 meg up speeds. The DSL modem supports DHCP, DMZ, port forwarding, application forwarding, filtering, etc. I have an existing network 192.168.0.x that uses a combination of DHCP and static IP addresses for printers, scanners, and servers.I just purchased a RVS4000 and configured its LAN port to accept a DHCP address. It received the .26 address. I set up application and port forwarding so all VPN traffic goes to this address. I also put the router in the DMZ and turned off all firewalls.On the LAN side of the RVS4000 I use the 192.168.1.x address and have the 4000 provide DHCP addresses. I have a PC connected to the LAN port and it has the address of 1.100. I am able to use TeamViewer to connect to this through the internet and I can also access the devices on the Actiontec network from the PC connected to the 4000.I set up the VPN as best I could while going through appendix B of the admin guide. When I am at a remote location and use the QuickVPN client to access the 4000 I get the message, "The remote gateway is not responding. Do you want to wait?'. When I look at the log everything looks good except I get the following error:
[WARNING]Failed to ping remote VPN Router!
I am unable to get a DHCP address for my remote PC and am unable to ping any device on either network. What do I have configured wrong that this is not working?I only purchased this so I can use the VPN. Is the VPN established on the Actiontec LAN or on the RVS4000 LAN side? I am obviously connecting to the 4000 but am just not getting an address so I can not use my home office network for all my communications.

We are still using some old WRV54G wireless VPN routers for work. Can we get new vpn software that will work with these routers? The quickvpn client software we have no longer works after we last updated the firmware. How can we set up vpn connections using tunneling?

Windows Messenger continually connects and disconnects. This behavior is permanent I only have problems with Messengers (all releases), web page access is correct. I check bandwith saturation and It's ok, I use less than 50% of each DSL. I configured the correct size of MTU for each DSL and the problem continues.Is there any way to set priority to this service? Is there any way to check if the "load balance mode" affect this kind of connections?

It's a Vista Toshiba satellite laptop(was upgraded from XP)About 6 months ago it started dropping the internet and switching to local access only. I've tried to disconnect it and re-connect it but it doesn't work. It stays with the local access only.The only way I get it back is to disconnect it then reboot it. After about a day or two it repeats this cycle.

A lot of the time webpages hang up and don't load.. errors out etc.. I keep unplugging the router and plugging it back in and this makes it a ton better for a little while.. however.. I can play games like BF3 on 64 man servers and not lag/spike/disconnect or anything.. I am baffled as to why I am having such issues with web browsing

I have 2 AP541N's set up using a WDS bridge, broadcasting a single SSID. I am using WPA-PSK for the bridge and WPA/ WPA2 and CCMP (AES) on the SSID. I only have around 75 (Mac, PC, iPad, iPhone and Android) devices that use wireless. Some are laptops that roam around from AP to AP, and are using LAN when they are not roaming. I have increased the roaming agressiveness on PC clients and this doesn't seem to have resolved the weak connection. At most, I have 50 clients trying to access the wireless at one time. My problem is that they keep on dropping the connections and have real problems reconnecting once it's dropped. After 4 or 5 tries, they may or not be able to reconnect.

Randomly the internet connection for either my, my son's , or my husband's pc drops. This also can happen with the X-box. The router lights indicate it is working and the rest of the connections will be fine just randomly any one of ours will fail until we reset the router. Two of the pc's are wired, one is on a plug (devlo) and the xbox is wireless. I phoned BT, our isp, who sent an engineer out. It turned out the BT rep told the engineer I had reported no dial tone on my phone line and if I had allowed them to investgate this fictitious fault it would have cost me £150 for a call out.

I've got a DIR-651 that does one of two things regularly:
1--drops all wireless connections momentarily, then re-establishes them (happens multiple times a day)
2--drops all wireless connections and has to be reset (happens every 0.5-2 days)
#1 wouldn't be a big deal, except that I keep VPN connections on two systems and have to re-establish them every time this happens. I should probably also note that this happens even on the weekends, when those two systems are not VPN'd in.
It has done this since day 1, and the firmware update did not work.

I've got a problem on 887VAMG router. It drops important connections. As customer wants to have a firewall I created ACL and ip inspect rules ,but the router drops their connections to cloud and some websites are not opening. So I removed ACL and most ip inspect rules just to test if it effects that. And left only ip inspect http urlfilter. But still they have those problems, so I'm really stuck how to configure that firewall. The below some dropping connection review:

I'm having a problem with my clients dropping the network connection constantly throughout the campus. I am using a Cisco 5508 controller and the APs are LAP1141N. At first I thought it was a roaming issue but I tested with only 1 AP and the problem persisted, I can tell you that we don't have interference problems and that our old linksys APs used to work without flaws.

We have with AP541N-E-K9 on the latest firmware.
Our AP541N-E-K9 keeps dropping all WLAN connections and will not allow us to connect via WIFI. I have to switch the unit off and on but even so sometimes it will take 10 mins for the WLAN to accept new connections. Nothing has changed on the network for months as it is a very basic scenario ie Draytek DSL Router -> Cat5e cable -> AP541N-E-K9, thats it! The AP is really only used for guest access and may have about 15 staff connected via WIFI at any one time.

After 5 years of services my DIR-655 begun acting up yesterday; first of it begun by getting REALLY slow, it could take up to 25 seconds to login into the software and up to 30+ seconds just going from one menu to another, on some instances connection (wired) to the router was lost. This morning it started dropping all connections, wired or not; first my iphone then my WDTV, after that it's been pretty much random connections. On one given moment wired works but not wireless, then wireless works but not wired and sometimes I get both but for 3 or 4 minutes.I've reset the router to factory settings, plugged/unplugged, changed cables, network adapters on desktops and the problem persists.

my configuration; ADSL2+ @ 21Mbps comes in via Telstra. Fibre optic cable trunk to main road, copper to the house, total distance 246m, hence good speeds. The phone is connected to a dual port filter with a phone and fax connected through double adapter to one port, and DSL-526B connected to other port.DSL-526B connected to DIR-655 Hardware A4, firmware 1.30. The two are set up in bridge mode, with a static IP. The DIR-655 connects to a DGS-1016D and a DGS-1008.I am running WIndows 7 ultimate x64 w/8GB ram, I5-2500K, and all MS patches.
four days ago I reinstalled my windows system. At that time, I uninstalled Tablet PC components and Windows search. I use FreeDownload Manager for my download needs, and it includes a BitTorrent client. I installed the latest version.From that point on, whenever I download any torrents the connnection to the internet resets and takes about 1 - 3 minutes to re-establish itself. I have tried going back through the several versions of the program to get back to the version I was running before I re-installed all to no avail.
I replaced the cable between wall socket and filter, replaced filter, replaced phone cable, also to no avail. I have tweaked the program settings now with only three half open connections, and I've reset the modem donezn of times. I've reset the DIR-655, and done factory resets on both and reconfigured them. Nothing has worked. I use MAC address filtering and I have ACLS which block access to various sites because of kids, and I use OpenDNS web content filtering too.
