Linksys Wireless Router :: Cisco DPC3825 - Signal Booster
Apr 29, 2013
Just got a Cisco DPC3825 from my ISP. I need to connect my other desktops to the wireless router all over the house and have two questions.
1. What is the best wireless adapter to use so my other desktops will be able to access the router?
2. What is the distance of signal before I need a signal booster and if I do need to boos the signal, what is the best device to do that? (we stream video, music, light gaming and general internet applications).
Got 1 Linksys WRT54G Router on the ground floor which uses PTCL DSL Internet and 1 D-Link Wireless N Gigabit Router on the first floor which uses World Call Cable Internet of my house. So yeah we have two internet connections.Getting weak signals from both of the routers in my room on the far left side of the house and little to no signals in the basementSo what I want to ask is that should I purchase better routers or should I go with a signal booster of some sorts like an Access Point or a Range Extender?Also is there such a device which would catch signals from both of these differently configured routers ( different internets, different wireless security keys etc ) and then boost them throughout the house if placed in an area where both the router signals are strong?
I have a laptop with a Bigfoot 1103 n wifi card and up til now it has been working perfect for our location.cWe had to move our office down a few doors and now we get NO reception at all. My laptop will pick up the network momentarily then loose the signal. My question is : how to boost reception?I have no access to the modem or router either. Do they make a decent booster that I can plug in my usb that will work with my current wifi card?
I have a DPC3825 from Shaw Cable in Canada. I'd like to use my Airport Extreme as a repeater using WDS. I've clicked the checkbox for "Allow wireless signal to be repeated by a repeater" and entered my Airport's MAC Address, but my Airport Base station doesn't see it as a WDS Peer.
I got a problem with my router CISCO (DPC3825) where the eithernet is working properly and the wireless is not, and I had to plug the usb to make the setups, and suddenly the wireless was working but when I tried to reset the password something worng happened change the set of the wireles
Recently installed a new CISCO DPC3825 and set up for wireless. I can connect to the network, signal strength excellent, but NO Internet. i have read a few threads showing similar issues, but i am getting lost when i try to troubleshoot further. i ran a command 'ipconfig/all' and got some data. I am confused also as under my network adapter it says 'media disconnected' .
Will the WRT160N work with the WAP4410N range booster? Will it power the booster over ethernet cable? my location has several concrete walls and the signal from the router is blocked. Will the WAP4410N work better in this environment?
I have CISCO DPC3825 router and theres about 3 computers and 2 wireless devices using internet through it. When i connect to a online video game I get these mini-disconnects. It happens periodically and frequently I'm not sure what is causing it.
i have a dpc3825 cable mdem gateway i spent 4 hours on the phone with charter yesterday i cant access the admin part of the router i go to 192.168.0.1 and up comes the setup username and password i have reset it numerous times i have left it blank as per instructions i have tried admin and blank cusadmin and password i cant get in
I am trying to figure out whyt my DPC3825 does not maintain a FTP session I did not really want to post this message rather I am trying to figure out how to search this board.
NIB DPC3825 cable modem. Called my provider and got it provisioned and its working (I'm on an ethernet connection posting this). But when I http to 192.168.0.1, I get a screen that doesn't quite look like the one in the manual. I enter the "admin" and "W2402" and click login, and the screen refreshes but nothing happens (no configuration options, only able to check status of downstream and upstream channels). Pushing the factory reset button for ten seconds to load defaults makes the lights blink and then reboots; same result as above. Pushing the wireless config button has no effect at all.
i have decided to take on the 3G strategy by using some powerful equipment to boost my 3G and obtain internet access, (accessible no problem)however in my "kit" includes a huwaii mifi device which i will be using along with a crc9 to connect to my military spec booster to pick up 3G and get better internet speeds than anyone in the area.problem i have is with the mifi router, it has small wireless range.i have a strong transmitter to use with my standard router, now what i want to do is bridge the mifi with a a/g/n router and all devices connect to the router that will provide better coverage due to the 3g kit and mifi will be very close together in the roof space and away from the other devices on ground floor.can i bridge mifi with a wireless router so connections will run through the lets say, belkin router.
I recently upgraded, through my ISP, my high-speed modem to the DPC3825 model modem/router. But when I try to connect to the DLink switch, the modem freezes, and doesn't recognize it. My previous setup was modem, to my DLink router (DIR 615), to my switch. With my new setup, I just bypassed the DLink router, because my new modem includes router capability.Is there some compatibility issue between the new modem and the DLink switch?
My wireless internet company recently installed a Belkin N600 router. I had a Linksys G router with a Linksys Booster in the past. The design of my house makes my signal difficult to get in multiple locations which is the reason i had the booster. My question... Is the linksys booster compatible with the belkin router or am I going to have to by a belkin booster to increase my coverage area
I am looking to permanently reset the default remote management port of the MODEM DPC3825 to something other than 8080. how to PERMANENTLY change the port from 8080? In the web interface under administration I have several times set it to something else other than the defaulted 8080 but when the modem is rebooted or reset, it goes back to the default 8080.
We have a wireless internet service. Not satellite. We basically have an antenna on our house that picks up the signal from a tower a mile or two away. I used the e3000 router when we lived in town with broadband internet and it worked fine. I can't get it to keep a hold of a signal. I can connect to the router from the computers but the router drops the signal from the tower. I have an old router that the wireless company was kind enough to lend me that works , but the signal is weak and it could die at any moment... I"m at my wits end.. I have an expensive piece of equipment that wont hold the signal. I have updated the firmware and the Cisco connect software..
I would like to know what ip addresses I should see in this table. Shouldn't my default gateway IP have the same mac address as my computer or router? There are 2 different ip address/mac addresses from different a ISP than mine. I have a cisco DPC3825..I suspect a someone is spoofing my DNS.
I have a linksys wrt54g wireless router and a few weeks ago my wireless connection started to become inconsistent, it would randomly drop service or be very slow, and now it has become very inconsistent and slow, all the while the wireless signal would be 4-5 bars.On my windows 7 desktop, often times the yellow triangle with the exclamation mark pops up over the signal strength indicator when its at 4-5 bars.I've tried changing to 2 different routers and its the same, and the problem is persistent for all computers in the house.I've connected directly via ethernet to the modem and router and service was fine.There are a few wireless networks in the area,some with quite strong signals, but I downloaded the xirrus wifi inspector and it says I'm not sharing a channel (channel 1) and though I'm ~15ft from the router, the signal is ~65dbm, which seems low and is almost equivalent to neighbor's wireless strength.
I am using the E2500 with the Wireless N-pci adapter with dual band, both with the latest drivers / firmware, and I am getting extremely low signal quality and connection speed when connecting to the 5 Ghz network.My computer is no more than 15 feet away from the router, and on the same level. I also verified the connection with the 2.4 Ghz band, and it reads as excellent, and with 54 mps. Using 5 Ghz I get one bar of signal quality (very poor) and no more than 13 mps connection speed.
My wireless router has been spotty since my cable company installed a new modem for cable internet. I have powercycled several times, downloaded new firmware, rebooted and am still having problems. Lately when I do finally get on the internet with a wireless device, the signal strength is very low. It is low on my iphone, on my Mac laptop and also on my Samsung Bluray player. Lately a window keeps popping up when I am trying to watch netflix that states my band width is too low, even though it has been working fine for 2 months. Is my router outdated?
Just got the E4200 and it seemed great at first. Connected at 450mbps at close range (maybe 6ft away) and got 223mbps transfer.It seems that recently my signal is much weaker. I'm around 6-8ft away from the router and I'm getting between 270-360mbps, which to me is poor given the short range.
InSSIDer says the RSSI is -50, while my other wireless N router (dual band) is -35 and is in the exact same location. I'm using the 5ghz radio only, and it is set to N, and I'm using channels 44 and 48. I checked the hidden advanced wireless page and transmit power is already set to high.
My laptop has an Intel 6300 wireless card.I'm using the current firmware 1.0.02. I've noticed that the speed of the router randomly seems to drop off too (just as I type this, the link rate has gone back up to 450mbps... typical). Is the router throttling when it gets hot or something? So I just want to find out if others are experiencing similar rates at the same kind of distance. Seriously, how can you advertise something as 450mbps when you can't even get that link rate at a distance as short as 6ft?
I can't see any thing I can do to increase the link speed (back down to 270mbps now), short of a firmware update to increase the power and use higher channels. I hear the higher channels are much better, so who do I have to write to, to plead for new firmware?This is a great product, but it's totally ruined by stupid internal antennas and a weak transmit power. Maybe if we make a noise about the not so maximum performance, they might address it.
I have an E1000 router in my office with a cat5 cable going to my daughters bedroon thru several doors and around some corners. She (recently moved back in) has an E1000 router also.I need to know how to use both routers to increase the wireless signal in her bedroom.I have not tried anything yet.The router in my office is configured with an address of 192.168.2.1.
I just moved into a 4200 sq ft home that was built in 1900. I have a Linksys e2000 and I have it upstairs and it only covers the upstairs. I get one bar signal downstairs. I was wondering if I should buy a wireless repeater (if so which one) or upgrade to a better Linksys router (e4200).
I have DSL set up in a home network. I want it to be used in my barn. The signal won't reach wireless though. I have 2 older wireless routers not being used - Lynksys wrt54gx4. Can I add two of these in the path to the barn to extend the signal? I would put one in the back of the house and one halfway to the barn in the pool house. ZCan these routers connect wirelessly to the home network?
I have a WRT310N router. I called the connection "Monica". Well... Monica doesn´t appear in my web and connection center. It simply doesn't exist any more, as if it was off, but it is on, all the lights are on. I checked de internet supply and it works. I don't know what to do..
How far should the signal of the E4200 stretch? I am noticing some serious issues with signal strength on the far side of my house. I was under the impression that the E4200 was able to stretch much further distances than most N routers. Is there a setting i can adjust to increase the range?
I am trying to use my EA4200 wireless as simply a router to run my home network. I want to leave all my cables plugged into it and distribute the internet via the switch to my other computers. I just want to turn of the wireless feature.
I just bought and set up an E2500 wireless router this evening. Using the default settings (as applied by the Cisco setup CD), I was experiencing pitiful range, with signal dropping to 2 out of 4 bars just one room (about 20 feet away). (Previously, using the exact same physical setup with the same computer and a single-band Belkin n150 router, I always had 4 out of 4 bars in that room).
I entered an online live tech chat, and after some back and forth, the tech rep had me change the settings as follows: (1) Rename the SSID to separate the two bands: One network SSID for the 5GHz band, another for the 2.4GHz. (2) Turn off auto-channel for both networks: Set 5GHz to stay on channel 36. Set 2.4GHz to stay on channel 1. (3) The 5GHz is set to use 20/40 MHz width, while the 2.4GHz is set to use only 20MHz width, but I believe those were the defaults already in place.
Then he promptly ended the chat, so we didn't get to finish. Nonetheless, with these settings in place, I am now getting a steady, uninterrupted 4 bars in the next room, using the 5GHz network SSID. Because we were disconnected, I have a few questions remaining:
(1) Is it normal to get such terrible range using the default settings (that's make for a lot of unhappy customers and a lot of extra calls to tech support)? Or does this indicate a problem with my router? (This was a Cisco certified refurbished model) (2) Which change 'fixed' the problem: Was it separating the two bands into different SSIDs, or locking the channels rather than using Auto channel? (3) Was this just intended as a test to troubleshoot the problem, or am I supposed to leave the router configured this way? (Since we were disconnected, I didn't get to follow up with the tech rep after changing the settings.) With it configured this way, I'm connecting devices that can find the 5GHz network to the 5GHz network's SSID, and the other devices that can't find it, I'm connecting to the separate SSID for the 2.4GHz network. Seems unnecessarily messy to have 2 SSIDs.
