Linksys Cable / DSL :: WAG300N Doesn't Retain User Name / Password
Mar 27, 2011
Have been using the Router for four years, recently its started to lose "memory" re. my user name and password. Switching off overnight, I'm not able to connect to the internet until I login and fill in the two boxes for my ID & PW.

I bought used Linksys WAG300N router from my friend. Internet comes from Pirelli DRG-125AG to router. Incoming internet I connect to port 1, outgoing to PC - to port 2. Also I want to share Wi-Fi connection with my linksys router, but I got problem. I enable Wi-Fi, enter SSID, choose password, save changes, my phone connects to router, but says that internet is not available from this Wi-Fi AP. First time I connect Wi-Fi, it works good, but when I reconnect, that sh*t happens. I updated firmware to 1.01.07, restored factory defaults, but nothing changed. AP isolation disabled. Sometimes even after reboot, at first WiFi connection, I get same notification from my android.

Just set-up a new X2000, loaded latest firmware 2.0.01, configured it via the web UI ('Browser based utility' as per the manual). Connected OK to my ADSL broadband by O2. Configured wireless, everything OK. Funny it doesn't need a user name, only a password, my prevoius WAG160N could be configured for both.Now I want to configure the Parental Controls, BUT apart from my computer name and an Android phone name, all I see in the Target Device ADD button pop-up are a list of repeated 'Network Device'. There seems no way to be able to distinguish which is which device (mix of XP & Win 7 PC's and HP Printer through a separate switch), as it does not show IP address or MAC.
I thought I may have better luck with the Cisco Connect software (which I didn't use to set-up the router). I downloaded the latest version 1.4.11194.0, and ran this on another computer with wireless. Apart from reconfiguring my static IP address to DHCP, and then connecting through DHCP, the software said it could not configure my router. So it never gets to a point where it installs any program on the computer so that I can configure Parental Controls. How do I get the router to show ALL the computer names in the list rather than 'Network Device' or is there a way to distinguish which 'Network Device' is which computer?

I've been using a WAG320N for a year or so. I just installed a harddrive to the router and am trying to access the harddrive. One thread I found here has instructions for a Mac. It requires me to login using my browser - 192.168.1.1 - and then logon using my username and password. Huh? What username and password? I have a username and password that I use to go pass the firewall for wireless and wifi connection. Is it the same? I tried it but it didn't work. Is there another username and password for the router? I can't remember what that is, if there was one in the first place. I tried the defaults - linksys and admin - and no joy there either.

Have WBR-2310 D-Link router. Internet modem and wireless router were working. While trying to connect new wireless printer, lost internet connect. Had to re-enter internet provider user id and password. Was told I needed to make sure that information was in my D-link router, so I typed 192.168.0.1 as internet address. I don't get a webpage to enter the userid and password.

our WRT310N router does not retain any configuration given to it. When we reset the device, it goes back to its factory settings. In that state we can access the device (http://192.168.1.1), make some changes and save it. The changes include giving it a different name from the default, and setting a password for the connection. However, when we try to use it for our wireless network, we cannot connect to the internet. Checking the Connection Status in a Windows XP laptop, we found out that we have been given a gateway different from what we have set the device into and thus a different set of IP addresses for each of the device.
Also at this time, we cannot access the router anymore (via 192.168.1.1 or via the gateway provided) and thus having no choice but to reset the device again. We then reinput the configuration desired, save it, restart the systems (both PCs and router) but after a few moments (initially it retains the settings chosen) we won't be able to connect through the Internet and find out that the router has a different configuration again. We also tried letting the device "rest" but the same problem persists.

I purchased a used WRT54G router that has DD-WRT firmware installed. I do not have the user name and password for it. How do I get around that issue so I can set the router up on my network. I would like to keep the DD-WRT firmware.

I have the WRT350N router. to access my usb storage link from within the LAN it asks for user id and password as I want it. but to access it from outside my LAN it just connects without asking for user id and password. My guess is it has something to do with shares and how they are setup. I can't figure out how to set it up so it asks for user id and password when attempting to connect to my storage link from the net?

Having just upgraded from a WRT54G to a E2500 all I can say is that I'm disappointed with Cisco.Having spent a few hours yesterday trying to resolve issues via Live Chat (ID 130105-001270 & 130105-002081) and spending more time today - I'm truly at wits end. I consider myself pretty knowledgeable with computers and networking.I'm not sure if anyone from Cisco's Tech staff sees these posts but I don't know where else to "complain" in hopes that the next software/firmware update resolves these problem(s).
The first is my router's setup screens are totally open when using my desktop. The desktop is hardwired to the router and has the Cisco Connect software installed. I open the Cisco software and go to advanced settings. There I'm shown what my router's name is and its password. This is really strange - why would you wish to display this information PRIOR to requesting username and password? However, once there you can go right into the setup screens by clicking OK.I have also entered these screens directly without being prompted for username/password by using 192.168.1.1 or my router.local via Internet Explorer 8 or Google Chrome. At other times I am denied access because IE cannot display page.I'm concerned because I can hide the Cisco Connect software however, anyone that uses my desktop has full access to my router via the web or Cisco Connect.
The second issue is that the password to enter the router and allow access to the internet IS THE SAME! When I had my WRT54G running I had one password (8 alpha characters) to enter setup screens. There was a router generated, 16 alpha/numeric character, password to allow outside devices such as laptops, TVs and game consoles access to the internet. When I set this router up I installed the 16 character password originally used so my laptop and Wii could connect without having to fool around with their settings. Everything was fine until I went into administration and changed the password to my old 8 character one. That is when I found out that the router uses this password setting under administration to control access to the internet AND access to the router settings!
I have uninstalled and reinstalled IE 8. I have ensured that my browser's history and caches are clear which they do when I shut IE down. I'm running Windows XP service pack 3 with the "proper" anti-virus and anti-malware software. My system is up-to-date.I have ensured that the router is running the latest firmware 1.0.05 build 2 and software 1.4.11299.0.I have seen other posts suggesting the removal of Cisco Connect however, I feel that this is a bandaid solution.I'm not professing to be a router technician however, I "feel" the problem might be the fact that the password issue is the problem. Since the same one is being used for both accessing the router and having the router grant access to the net, my desktop is allowed to access the setup screens without being prompted for username and password.

I haven't used my Linksys WRT54G v5 wireless router for about 1 1/2 years and needed it now at a new place.I set a user name and password I've long forgotten for access to the web based security protocols for the modem and I've lost the disk for the control protocol program.I tried pressing the reset button to clear the modem and it took the WPA protocol off the modem so I can use it without any security but that's not a good thing.How do I get it freed up so I can get to the security protocols and put security back on my modem?

Time Warner used remote access to get into my wrt54g system and create a new user id/password for security. As a result, my hp printer will no longer communicate with my computer. HP says to hook up a usb from router to printer, but there's no usb port on the wrt model I own. I hooked up a usb from computer to printer but it did nada...

I have a linksys wrt54gs wireless router (working fine since last 3 years) which connects to the internet fine if there is no password set. However if i set WEP password to protect the wireless connection, i am not able to connect to the wireless connection. Everytime i enter the passphrase, when trying to connect to the wireless network, it refuses to accept the password. I have tried this with 2 laptops (both running windows 7) and both have same issue.

I get into the router ok, using no username and "admin" for password.I set up the key, hit OK, then when I hit "apply" the prompt comes up for the username and password again. I skip the username, enter "admin" for password (just like I did getting into the setup earlier) except now it says it doesn't recognize, or it's invalid, etc.

I have noticed that on my WAG120N the WPS function doesn't work as it should (...at all). I tried connecting a blackberry, a playstation3 and 2 different laptops using the WPS option (button or PIN, doesn't matter) and the devices would simply not talk to each other. I can understand problems with the PS3 but the blackberry and the laptops were (and still are) able to connect using WPS on my previous router - WAG54G2. Pairing of the devices by supplying a password works fine, this is a problem only with the WPS functionality. My firmware is V1.00.16.

Last night we had some pretty bad lightning and thunder and our Linksys WAG160N appears to have had a bit of a fright.As I was going round unplugging items in case of a hit (this was after a flash or two, relatively nearby), all the lights on the router were off except for the ethernet light (plugged into a Linksys homeplug adaptor). Now the router doesn't appear to boot. When powered on, the power light doesn't flash or anything to indicate booting up, all you get is the ethernet light (if connected) after a few seconds, but no activity. I'm presuming something has been fried or corrupted? I'm not sure if we did have a power spike either through the mains or phone line as all other equipment seems to be fine, but I'm wondering the the homeplug connection might of had something to do with it after reading a few posts from others on the subject.I've held in the reset button while starting and it doesn't appear to have done anything. I will try the 30/30/30 reset tonight.

I purchased Linksys WAG160N (from a store) and I also have 7 Linksys SPA962 VOIP phones provided by MyNetPhone with service included. All tests we found out that this modem doesn't work with this VOIP phones. Somehow probably doesn't give access to MyNetPhone servers to get connection with this phones.I purchased an other one from DLINK and works perfect?

It's exactly the same situation like was described in link below in... 2008 on different forum.PS3 doesn't see the NAS in Wi FI.
1. X3000 Annex A with latest firmware v1.0.01 build 002 Nov 22,2011
2. NAS Zyxel NSA310 with latest firmware 4.50(AFK.0)D0_20120405 running Twonky Media Server (TMS) Twonky 7.0.5 Special connected to X3000 via network cable.
3. Sony Playstation 3 (PS3) with latest firmware 4.11 connected to X3000 via WIFI.
When PS3 is connected via WIFI to X3000, TMS is not visible in PS3. When PS3 is connected via network cable to X3000, TMS is visible and working as hell. No static IP's, whole network based on DHCP. UPnP is ON.Problem mentioned on that different forum was solved by firmware update. Can I expect firmware update also here?

I have a home network consisting of a Linux machine running dhcpd server, connected to the X3000 router wireless, connected -in turn- to the RE1000 repeater, and -finally- a DHCP client machine.Since I run my own DHCP server, I have configured X3000 to be a Relay.I am getting very strange behaviour. Specifically, the DHCP client sents a DISCOVER packet, which arrives to the server (through the relay/router), the server then replies with an OFFER packet to the Relay, and then - bizarelly! - the relay/router forwards the OFFER reply NOT to the client, but back to the server!Needless to say, when this happens the client does not register with the network.I have captured the packets with wireshark running on the server machine, and you may find them here:url...Does not Linksys have professional online technical support?

WAG160N gateway and wireless dropouts. Wireless connectivity to file and printer shares will fail after an unspecified duration of time.Internet access may also drop. Repairing the wireless connection does not appear to work. Saving the gateway settings without making changes appears to temporarily fix this issue (some users have reported this does not work). Manually performing a power cycle of the gateway will temporarily fix this issue.

My X2000 modem connect only with small speeds Kbps, it's very weak than Linksys WAG54GP2 MBPS. If I put laptop near the modem speed doesn't change.Only change occurs when I change the channel. But it speed down after a while.I set, N connection, security is WPA-personal, tried some different channel, connection 20-40mhz, update the firmware (there is no problem with laptop, with another modem I can connect with 150kb/s speed) And, if I choose auto setup, security change to WPA, If I'm not wrong.

I recently bought a Linksys WAG160N v2 model to replace my old setup of a Linksys WRT54GL + ASUS AM604g (ADSL2+ Modem) i had.I've set it up to dial my ISP's PPPoE connection as i had on the previous setup exactly, And it seemed to work at first.But now i've randomly noticed the connection just dies - the router doesn't respond to wireless at all anymore, and connecting from a wired machine shows the PPPoE link died, while the log says something along the lines of "PPPoE connection terminated: transport endpoint not connected" followed by a big number with lots of zeros and :'s. Probably some kind of IPv6 error address? note that i am not using IPv6 myself nor does my ISP provide any such addresses.
I've already upgraded the firmware to latest and installed the newest WiFi drivers on the machine i was connecting from wirelessly (has an Intel Wifi Link AGN5300 module).

We have a large house, with wired connections in every room. After the ISP just installed a new EA4500, the wireless signal does not reach the whole house.Is it possible to plugin the old X3000 into the wired connection upstairs and have it boost a wireless signal to that area?I know how to reset the unit and access the setup page.

I'm having big problems with my Linksys WAG320N. I'm pretty clueless when it comes to networking.Without changing any of the settings, the other day my Macbook Pro couldn't connect and it kept saying 'Connection timeout'. From that point my iPhone also refused to connect, although accessing the internet on my MBP via Ethernet was fine.
I did a hard reset following instructions from this forum then re-configured with the installation CD. The wireless LED on the router was lit but my MBP couldn't see the network. Eventually I managed to connect after rebooting my laptop, and enjoyed all of 10 minutes of problem-free of wireless internet connectivity before the network just dropped out and now doesn't show up in my list of networks again, although the wireless LED is still on. Connecting via Ethernet still works, just not via wireless.I've rebooted my laptop and the router and tried switching channels on the router, all to no avail.

Attempting to get EA6500 working with TWC Motorola Surfboard SBV5220 modem, which has been working just fine for the last 2 years with a Linksys E3000 router. DHCP client in the EA6500 either doesn't ask for an IP address from the cable modem or the modem just isn't supplying one. With the E3000, you could see the IP address assigned by the cable modem and the primary and secondary DNS server addresses provided, and if the DHCP request didn't work, these addresses would be all zeroes. But, with the EA6500, I can't find an equivalent screen that shows these assignments, or zeroes when the DHCP request fails.

I've just bought and installed a WAGN320N router and I have identified two problems:
1 - The router actively prevents me from using non-alphanumeric characters in both the admin password and the shared folders passwords, however such passwords are more secure and in most other places recommended. How do I switch off this restriction so that I can set a secure password?
2 - The Filename Encoding on the Storage>Administration page can't be changed. I have changed the drop down box to "Western Europe/Latin1" several times and then clicked "save settings", but setting always flips straight back to "USA" after saving.

I just recently bought a WAG160N and I have a big issue with it, I can't change the password for the default admin account. All I get is this error in the browser "Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE)"
Quick reset.Power cable disconnect for 60 sec.Factory reset followed by a reset of the router for 60 sec.Clearing my browsers cookies and internet temporary files.Only things I have changed is the Basic Setup to get connected to my ISP and the Wireless settings.
Details about clients, firmware versions etc.

I cannot access the Username and password on my WAG160N - the ones I thought were correct do not accepted, nor are the quoted 'defaults'.I have tried holding down 'reset' for 30 secs; I have tried powercycling the router after and during this; I have tried 'resetting' with the phone and ethernet connections unplugged. This is NOT returning the machine to the default settings - and neither is it 'wiping' the existing settings for my ISP.The amusing thing is - it works perfectly well, but I can't alter my security settings and I can't alter other settings if I change my ISP (as I was intending to do).
