Linksys Cable / DSL :: WAG120N Firmware 1.0.0.16 Bugged
Jul 4, 2011
I just upgraded my WAG200G for WAG120N (I'm brazillian and its the latest model here). The modem/router came with 1.0.0.7 or 8 firmware - i actually don't remind - and I upgraded to 1.0.0.16, which is the latest made by Linksys/Cisco. At this point I started testing the modem/router and I started getting problems. The range isn't as good as the older WAG200G. In my house I have 3 laptops, an AzBox Premium+ and an Xbox 360 S (the slim version which has wifi built-in) to connect to the WAG120N by WIFI. The 2 desktops are wired connected.Everything seemed to be working perfect for I was just testing the 2 wired computers first. The second task I had to do was configure the Xbox 360 wifi connection. The Xbox is less than 6 meters from the WAG120N and the signal just. But thats OK, at least the console recognizes the network and I would soon be playing again - what I thought. But I was wrong. Despite the console recognizes the network, it was just impossible to connect. I spend 2 days to figure out why all Laptops could connect to WAG120N and the Xbox 360 couldn't.
Xbox 360 detect but don't connect. I expected that somewhere I would find the answer but I couldn't. Luckily I had a click on my mind when I was at a Microsoft website looking the list of routers that supports the Xbox 360S. That list had 2 parameters, the modem name and firmware version. Yeah, "WAG120N / 1.0.0.11". It was really hard to believe that all around the world people have the same problem I was having and the solution was something so. but for the Linksys developers who destroyed the modem with bad firmware programming.Then I started to search where I would find the WAG120N 1.0.0.11 firmware just to give my idea a try. Unfortunately, there wasn't any website from which I was able to download that firmware. But I found the 1.0.0.12 firmware somewhere and make the firmware downgrade. Yeah, my Xbox 360 S could, after 2 days, finally be connected to the wireless network and I was able to play online and achieve gamerscore points again.
Even though I was able to play, the Xbox had a problem when connecting to the Xbox Live. Hopefully, this time, the Xbox 360 could tell me what was wrong. The console displaied a message saying my NAT was Moderated and I should configure my router and change the Moderated to Open, something like that. The problem is that the WAG120N doesn't have any options beyond Enable or Disable the NAT thing ( which particularly I didn't searched what it is yet). It means that I will have an unstable connection when playing. I have configured my Xbox to manually connect and I opened all the doors people said would enhance the Live connection and nothing worked.The other problem was the signal range. I don't know if it can be caused for the bugged firmware, didn't tried to see if the 1.0.0.16 firmware has some improvements over this, but the signal range just . I don't know how much newer this WAG120N is when compared to the WAG200G, but it can't be possible this newer modem has low signal range. I mean, my home is just a standard apartment. Signal should be at least normal every place.I don't know if the developer team fix firmwares based on what we say here on forum or it I'll have to email them, but if I could ask something for the new 1.0.0.17 firmware is that you, for the love of god, may this firmware Xbox 360 compatible, as the later versions was. Ah, just to remind, its not just an Xbox 360 problem, another member of this forum said this same problem appeared not just in his Xbox 360, but his laptop too.

I made the change WAG120G (GREAT) for WAG120N (**bleep**) and I confess that I was somewhat disappointed, the quality of the company fell dramatically. Unlike its predecessor this modem / router is bad in many ways and first of them is support for Macintosh products, the connection drops constantly and have to get on and off the wifi to work. The modem restarts and constantly drops the connection status and its predecessor NEVER did that. iPad, iPhone and Macbook can not even keep me surfing for more than one hour, the connection just stops working. Even the cable connection, my Xbox sometimes worth it to maintain a stable connection in Live. The modem has been updated with the latest firmware version (1.0.0.16). Another thing I noticed is that the modem takes A LOT to connect with the operator. It's bad, it's expensive and does not work! I

I have a Cisco Linksys WAG120N running with the firmware version 1.00.12, and it's working a quite fine.During some tests with the nmap command under Linux, I noticed that beyond the ports 80 and 433, another opened port 32764 shows up running an unknown service.This unknown service keeps running after scanning for ports between 1-65535 using nmap in stealth mode. But after querying the modem for operating system fingerprint using nmap but not in stealth mode, this port closes and the service disappears.
By using a browser to access 192.168.1.1:32764, a 12 byte "<random_prefix>.exe" file is download, and its's recognized as a text file. The file contains a "MMcSÿÿÿÿ" string, and the bytes in hexadecimal are "4d 4d 63 53 ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00".And also, something strange happens after this unknown service goes down: Accessing the modem setup via browser, the settings displayed are different than I commonly use. the encapsulation is set to "Bridged Mode Only" instead the "RFC 2516 PPPoE", and into the Status Tab the Current Time field says "Time Zone string Error". Still in the Status Tab, in the Internet Connection information the "Login Type" is a misspelled "UNKNOW", the interface says "Connected" to a well accessible Default Gateway., the same displayed into the Routing Table Entry. Th Applications & Gaming Tab is unaccessible.After power switching the modem off and on again, everything comes back to normal again.

Rebooted a few times too.

How do I set up the WAG120N as a router only as I no longer want to use it as modem and router?I want to connect the WAG120N thru a cable to a modem that will make the internet connection and use the WAG120N as a wireless router only.

problems when I wanted to connect my laptop to my WAG120Nrouter for the first time.First the wireless adapter on my windows xp gives me the error "unable to verify your identity"second when i passed the security verification by bypassing the security options on the connection properties of the adapter, windows tries to acquiring network address and continues it for hours. Seems Windows cannot get any ip address from the router.The router works fine with wired Ethernet devices and my iPhone when i connect it wirelessly.

I need to configure a WAG 120 N as a bridge, so I can have my public IP as an output of an Ethernet port. I need this configuration because I have a non ADSL router managing VPNs and needs the public IP on the WAN port of this router.

My WAG120N does not allow airprint from ipad/ipod to HP photosmart wireless printer. When i replace the linksys router with an old netgear one all works well and the ipad can find the printer and print. Enable the Linksys router and the printer is no longer found on the ipad. other forums suggest this relates to handling of the Bonjour protocol ... any resolution for this so i dont have to go back to legacy speed on my home wifi?

when choosing "Mixed" or "N-only" as Network Mode on the Basic Wireless Settings configuration page, the mode resets to "B/G-Mixed" or "G-only" respectively when saving. In other words, it is not possible to use the N network mode.

I am using WAG120N, and it keeps disconnected from internet randomly, normally between 5-10 minutes. The thing is, when it is disconnected, the adsl lamp is still on, so I think that it is not the network problem. When internet lamp turns off , I try to turn off the device (or unplug the phone cable), then turn it on again (or re-plug the cable), and it will work for certain minutes, then gets disconnected again. I already upgraded the firmware to v 1.00.12.

I have multiple macs and when all of them are connected to the wag120n router, macs can't seem to find/see each other as if they are connected to different networks. I have tried another router ie. netgear dg834g router and this problem didn't occur and i am able to connect over the network without a problem. Obviously there is something wrong with the router settings.

We have a customer who has a WAG120N as their broadband wireless router, and we've sold them some new equipment, part of which is another WAG120N as our salesperson didn't realise they had one.They have a section of the building which the current WAG120N will not reach. Reading around this forum, it seems that I can give the second WAG120N a different static IP on the LAN and use it to expand the range of the WLAN.If I've read correctly, I need to make all the wireless stuff exactly the same except to use different wireless channels on each router. But what do I do with the DHCP server on the second WAG? Is it fair to say that the clients won't suddenly jump to a different IP because they won't have a cause to request a new one? I read one comment that suggested the second should be configured for DHCP relay, and another which contradicted this. Presumably I just don't configure the ADSL on the second WAG as that will only connect to the LAN.

I recently got a Linksys WAG120n wireless modem but I have a problem with its Wireless.whenever I want to connect to the wireless of the modem I have to reboot the modem. or I cannot connect to it or if I connect I do not have internet access the cable LAN interface of the modem is working is working properly.I used Mixed (b/g/n) as network mode and wpa2/psk as authentication mode with using preshared key.and the channel is 11. no matter if I enable MAC filtering for wireless or not it is just the same.my laptop is a HP G42 with a Ralink 3090 wireless card and I have installed the latest manufacturer driver of the wireless Card.but it is not working .even sometimes laptop cannot find the linksys modem until I reboot the modem.as I have found there is no newer firmwire on cisco site for this modem to upgrade.

I can't seem to setup my WAG120N modem.I kept on getting the error "your ethernet cable does not appear to be connected properly" even though I have connected all the cables correctly. I can access the modem through the browser via 192.168.1.1 though.I thought the setup is supposed to be simple but I have wasted few hours.
