Linksys Cable / DSL :: X3000 Won't Work Correctly With Wired Network
Feb 11, 2013
Im having a issue with that any of my computers without a wireless connection have been incapable of getting out on the internet with the new router that i got myself, i know the cables works etc, since they work perfectly fine with the old modem alone, but wont work at all with this unless on a computer with wireless connection
The X3000 functions as a router/gateway between the ADSL network, its wireless network (WPA2) and its wired network. After a cold start, factory reset and restore of the config file everything works fine. I have interconnection between all three parts of my network. However after ± 24 hour there is no connection possible anymore from the wired to the wireless network and vice versa. A normal power off - power on will not work. The only thing that works is running the factory reset procedure as discribed above. I changed the MTU to manual 1400 as was suggested on this forum, but that does not work. Apart from this issue, ADSL is hicks sometimes. From my ISP I heard that at certain times my router issues ten's of DHCP requests within one minute, while the connection (modem) remains perfect. I have the impression that after such a DHCP request storm to my ISP, the interconnection between my X3000 wireless network and my X3000 wired network is lost.
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?
I cannot connect local IP addresses that are connected to X3000 THROUGH LAN CABLE, but we can connect to the local IP addresses that are connected to X3000 THROUGH WIRELESS.There is definetly something wrong with the software of the X3000 since it is the only DHCP server on my network.I have 3 routers connected to X3000 thru LAN cable, the strange thing is when i connect to one of those 3 routers i can connect all devices in the network whether wired or wireless.when i connect to X3000 thru wireless i cannot access to those LAN devices in the network unless they are directly connected to X3000 thru wireless.and when i connect to x3000 with a LAN cable everything works perfect, i am able to access all devices in my network.
E4200v2 DMZ does not appear to work correctly?I have two e4200v2 both with latest firmware and it appears to me that the DMZ setting does not work. I continue to have to apply many port forwarding and triggering rules to make needed ports accessible.
I have done this before on this exact model about a month ago, so it's still fresh in my mind on port forwarding. (note, I'm using firmware version: 1.0.00) I am running a windows 7 computer wirelessly using this router.What I do for port forwarding is type in router IP (192.168.2.1) in internet explorer, type in "default" as username and "admin" as password. I click the "applications and gaming" link which brings me to port range forwarding.
I fill in my port info, in this case a mine craft server running on 25565. I set up two of the same ports, different names both at the same port, one running TCP and the other UDP, when it worked previously the "both" option did not work correctly. (I used to have a private network that a buddy of mine set up a while back, and I doubt he remembers what to do and I don't know where the manual is to make a new one, searching the internet sends me spam of people asking questions.)
I read somewhere it may have something to do with DHCP server settings conflicting with my IP. My IPv4 address reads 192.168.2.100, and the DHCP settings says the same.
Got 300 Mbps with Linksys X3000 in real life?I haven't seen it working at 300 Mbps since I've bought it, so I wonder whether it is truly possible. The maximum speed I've seen was 130 Mbps.
I'm currently researching in buying a new modem/router that must have the PPPoA support for the ISP, i'm wondering if the X3000 is compatible with the DD-WRT firmware? or in this case any other firmware that has a top notch QoS, We have a troll in the house that downloads too many torrents and would like to limit his bandwidth .
Over the passed couple of weeks I have experienced issues trying to connect to the internet via the LAN Ports. My main PC and a Xbox cannot connect to the internet even though 3 laptops have no problems using the Wifi connectivity.I have had two live chats with Cisco engineers and the first resolution was to perform a firmware upgrade which did solve the issue for a day or two. I think it was more to do with reset the modem/router rather than the firmware upgrade. The second session ended with the eingineer advising me to take the equipment back to PC and seek a replacement simply because Ciso have nothing in writing relating to this problem.
I just bought a Linksys X3000 to work with my ADSL connection (provider is Singtel from Singapore). I managed to use Cisco connection application to logon and setup the router OK, yesterday. I even connected my PC to the router by LAN, and also a few devices wirelessly.At the end of the day, I switched off everything... but next morning, when I booted up the router, I found that all my devices cannot access internet. Upon checking the server (192.168.1.1), I found that it does not have a IP from Singtel, although on the router the internet symbol (globe sign) is lighted up.I rebooted the router twice, getting the same results (note: I waited for a long time each time, until the globe was lighted up).I disconnected the X3000, and reconnected my Netgear DGN2000. It worked (and retrieved an IP address from Singtel). I then disconnected the Netgear and reconnected X3000. To my surprise, this time X3000 got the IP address and then internet is working again.
regarding Current Time Not Available. I loose internet connecting for hte last 5 weeks, My ISP is good. Bit I have noticed Current Time Not Available and when this happens my internet looses connection. but does state still connected. Using v1.0.03 build 001 Jun 11,2012 can we set manually the time?
Following the chat with the technical support of CISCO.In few words, the LINKSYS X3000 is the only router in the world that can't shows the DSL line parameters ( SNR and LINE ATTENIATION ) so you can't evaluate the line quality without using another router.... INCREDIBLE!!!!Let's see how long it will be before the firmware update!Me: simple question: is rather embarrassing but I can't find the SNR value (Adsl status) in the Linksys X3000 interface. Same for the Line Attenuation values. These are the standard DSL information and they are essential to evaluate the DSL line quality.Unfortunately, you are right, these parameters are not available on the Gateway (X3000) Setup page.Me:It's unbelievable I use routers for my work and this is the first product that can't shows the DSL line parameters...The only parameters available under DSL Connection Subta are Status, Downstream Rate and Upstream Rate.Me:Do you think it's serious? The price of this product and the target to which it is oriented suggest a more professional approach.I agree, but as of now, this is how it is however, you need to keep an eye on future updates for the device that might include these paraters/features.Me:Please could you send a notification to the DEVELOP TEAM to quickly update this product FIRMWARE and close the gap that separates it from other products in the same category?
At this moment we have a Linksys x3000 configured as modem on a ADSL connection (PPPoA)From our monitoring server we send ICMP packets to see if the connection is alive (or not).The problem is when we disable the ipV4 SP1 firewall and do not tick the: "Filter Anonymous Internet Requests" , we still receive connection timeout's from outside hosts. Is this a bug? And if not; how can we enable ping from outside networks?We really want to enable ping because of the monitoring software.The firmware is the latest version: 1.0.0.1
The Linksys EA4500 router is designed to be added to an existing network as an additional access point. See the following description:
Setting your Linksys Wi-Fi or Smart Wi-Fi Router to Bridge Mode is applicable when you want to:• Connect two (2) routers with the capability of sharing the network resources • Use the router as an additional access point on an existing network • Connect the router to a modem/router from your Internet Service Provider (ISP) • Disable the router functionalities to work with third party devices
http:[url].....
Unfortunately the Linksys X3000 DSL modem router is not compatible to the bridge mode, since the internal switch fails if a MAC address of a wireless device switches between the X3000 internal access point and the access point of the EA4500 router. In the faulty state, no local network resources (print server, NAS, ...) are accessible anymore.
I recently changed my wireless ADSL router to an X3000. One of the main reasons for doing so was its ability to share a disk drive on the network without having to have a computer powered on to host the drive. This has been working OK for a month or two, but now the drive keeps "disappearing".
What I mean is that when a computer tries to access it over the network, it gets a message that the network name cannot be found. If I then log into the router, under the Storage section, there are no drive details showing. I have rebooted the router, and sometimes this restores the situation, sometimes not. Sometimes I have to unplug and replug the USB cable, then do a reboot. The USB drive is a 500GB Western Digital FreeAgent Desktop drive. There is nothing wrong with the drive - if I connect it directly to a computer it all works fine. Typically it drops off overnight. We can be accessing the drive OK on a couple of laptops in the evening, then next morning, "network name not found". The router and the drive remain powered on all the time.
As I said it has worked OK for a month or two, now it appears flakey and very unreliable. This router takes a very long time to reboot, so having to do it often is painful.
I tried to set my x3000 (firmware 1.0.03) to wake up on internet my pc. This is my configuration:IP lan 192.168.1.10 (fixed on pc and reserved in DHCP)Firewall: forward port 9 from WAN to LAN IP.I can't set broadcast IP (192.168. 1. 255) from web interface.I also tried this solutions but without success: url...
I am using the x3000 as a modem and router, and I managed to set up the device yesterday through the web interface (192.168.1.1).However, after less than 24 hours of continuous usage, I cannot access the interface for some odd reason. I tried using the disk that came with the device but the software reports as if I am not connected to the router. I tried pinging 192.168.1.1 and I get >1 ms so that confirms the device is active and responsive.
We have a brand new Linksys X3000, with the latest firmware installed. It does not recognise the hostnames of devices on our network. We have added a few hostnames, using 'manually add client'. My first question is why would it not recognise hostnames (a variety of devices, e.g. phones, apple time machine, linux PCs)?
The next problem is that that we are successfully able to ping IP addresses, but when we ping hostnames, results are inconsistent. e.g. currently I have my laptop and a time machine connected by wire directly to the router. I can ping the time machine by IP. The first time I ping by hostname, it works, but immediately after that I ping again and it says 'unknown host'. Why would it suddently forget about a device it is clearly connected to? Have we got some sort of default security setting I don't know about?
I've bought X3000 modem recently & the only issue is pops up for me is wifi signal is too low. I've got 2 routers with me. My old linksys router WAG200G has got no issues with wifi signal. I kept both routers at the same place & compared with same standard channel yet what astonishing me that WAG200G has got more stability than X3000 regardless inspite changing to wireless -N. Is there a way to solve it. Btw, I tried all the standard channels yet it doesn't make any difference.

I have X3000 home gateway and very happy with this device. Use it now as ADSL modem/wifi router. Everything works fine but there is something I do not understand about this device.It has 4 LAN ports and a Cable port. Suppose, I am upgraing from a copper service to fibre. Fibre providers comes and installs their fibre box which is kind of a "modem" for fibre technology. how do I connect fibre box to X3000? Do I use Cable port or a LAN port?
As far as I understand the 4 LAN ports work as switch ports (work at OSI level 2, provide access strictly within same subnet, all devices connected to these ports share the same default gateway), and Cable port gets a different IP address via DHCP or another protocol from the fibre box, or directly from ISP (if we have PPPoE or IPoE service as an example). And there would be no point in plugging WAN link into a LAN port as X3000 would not be able to communicate to the gateway on the other end of the cable.
I have ADSL router Linksys X3000, but I have an issue with it. I have configured it properly (based on internet provider's manual), repeatedly checked it, but router still says that ADSL line is down. I have also another router from Zyxel and it works perfect with same wire and configuration, so I guess the line is fine.
I desperately try to set up the X3000 as a router behind a vDSL modem. When I choose connection through Ethernet and then PPPoE, it never keep the credentials after reboot in spite of having saved the data before.
I recently purchased two x3000 devices.Both shipped with the 1.0.01 firmware installed.Upgraded one device in one location to the 1.0.03.001 release without issue.A day later i'm not trying from a second location to perform the same action.I've downloaded the FW_X3000_1.0.03.001.bin firmware from the Cisco downloads for the device and receive a pop up 'The image file is incorrect'.I've downloaded hte image twice and it appears to be correct in size. I'm following the same process that worked without issue the day previously.
I'm looking to add the X3000 to my SingTel 2Wire 5012NV to be able to increase the wireless speed to 100Mbps and also an extender RE1000 to cover some blind spots int he house. How to configure the 5012NV into a bridge so this will work for me without loosing the connection from the 5012NV to the mioTV setup box and phone line.
I have a Linksys X3000 router. While it is running, connection latency will gradually increase over about a day until eventually it just stops working at all and I have to power it off and back on again.
Ping times to a local website slowly increase from 30ms immediately after restarting the router, to about 100ms about an hour before it will need to be restarted, then rapidly increase to over 1 second before it drops out completely. When this happens, no connections through the router will work, I cannot even ping it or connect to its configuration web page.
I upgraded the firmware to see if that would work but it didn't. I have had the exact same problems with the 1.0.0 and 1.0.01 versions.
Can I get it replaced? And in the mean time, is there some way to make the router automatically restart at a scheduled time?
My device is Linksys X3000 modem router.What happened: I `ve tried to upgrade my router over Wifi connection and it failed.when the progress was at 98%. Obviously I should not have done it over the WiFi.There wasn't any warning when I`ve done that.When I got to this situation, my modem has had only power LED on and it was shining red.I have tried using reset button(including 30sec-30sec-30sec method), but it did not recover the modem itself(asI later found out, it did reset the config only). The following method of recover worked for me:
- connect PC to the modem using wired ethernet connection
- if the IP address is not automatically assigned(i.e. DHCP server is down on the router), then assign it statically on the PC. This is a key moment. The subnet you should depends on whether the config was already reset by this time. If it was, then use the default network settings.
It should be 192.168.1.x subnet. The modem should have 192.168.1.1, you can take, for instance, 192.168.1.20 for your PC. Then go to the browser, and go the router`s IP address(192.168.1.1 with default settings). You should see a very simple web page(different from the standard interface), prompting.you to upload the binary image file and upgrade.After doing so, the modem reboots, and stands up!
Still, I think even given that I`ve tried to upgrade the modem using WiFi, that should not cause issues by itself. I expect that the modem would firstly download the binary completely,verify its checksum, and only then switch to it. So I can`t imagine how flaky wireless connection would disrupt this process. I believe the issue is caused by a bug.A support lady have also confirmed I should not have used WiFi for this purpose.If that`s the case, then there should be some sort of warning in the management interface before starting the upgrade, and perhaps, even a protection against usage of WiFi for the upgrade.
V1.03 fw. My connection stays alive, and does not loose connection but I cannot access web pages and my qnap NAS download just go to 0.After 5 mins they are all back up to speed and then drops again to zero.Getting very fusrtated with the x3000. Had the WAG160n but that kept overheating.The x3000 is this an overheating issues?
As soon as I set it up it would keep restarting every 3-5 minutes. It would sync with the ADSL line, wireless ok and then boom restart again.I've tried every singe setting, googled the problem, updated the firmware to the latest and still no luck.Then I had it replaced today with a new one and I faced exactly the same problem so I am thinking that eitherI am completely useless (which I would like to think I am not) or I got stuck with a batch of faulty X3000.Currently I am on linksys WAG200G that has been working non-stop for ages and the only reason I upgraded is that I wanted faster streaming.
