Linksys Wireless Router :: Disable Wi-Fi Signal On EA4200?
Nov 19, 2012
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.
Just bought an E1500 wireless router -- when setting the router name and password, a 2nd guest sight came up, but I had to leave the computer, and when I came back that page was not there. I do have a guess password, that is fine---what I want to remove is the guest signal to our Dish Network wireless sight.
I upgraded my Mac to OSX 10.8.1, with which the included connect software is incompatible. Downloaded the latest version from Cisco. It claims to be compatible with OSX 10.7 and up. Apparently 'up' does not extend to 10.8. When will we get an updated version of the connect software so that I can reconfigure my router?
had a EA4200 about a year now, no probs, very stable, i'm thinking about getting a EA6500, for better coverage, iPhone apps, etc, would like to use my EA4200 in bridge mode from a EA6500, I'm a fairly new to networking etc, i'm assuming when the EA4200 is bridged, it will act like a repeater connected by cable, with same SSID ?
The situation is Main house running Linksys EA4200, I have a garage apartment rental that is to far away to receive the wireless guest network.I ran a cat5e to the apartment, can I configure the EA4200 to allow the WAP54G access point to use the guest network? I want to prevent my renters from having access to the home network, but just have basic internet access separate/outside my network.
I live in a single story bungalow, and im wanting to resite my EA4200 up into the roof space, just wondering which is the best position to mount it in for signal, horizontal or vertical, or doesnt it matter ?
Is there anyway to disable WPS on the WRT120N router?
All I can do is switch the "view" from WPS to manual configuration in the management console...this doesn't actually disable anything.Maybe I don't understand WPS security, but what's the point of using a 20 character WPA2 password if WPS has an 8 digit PIN that I can't change or disable?
My network consists of a Westel C90-610030-06 DSL modem, Cisco E2500 router and Hawking HWREN100 range extender.My wife has trouble with her IPad connecting to the Hawking.Apple says I need to Disable WMM on the E2500.
I have an E2500 and i need to disable the ports on the router. I have a DSL line going in and thats it. I do not want it to be able to accept any wired device and have someone get on the internet. I do not want someone to just take a laptop, with a LAN able, plug it into a port, and get internet. How would i be able to disable the ports?
I think I've been carefully through every single screen and can't figure out how to disable the wireless broadcast on my new EA6500. I typically see this in the "wireless" settings but must be missing something.
How do I disable the broadcast of my SSID? I do not want wireless. I only bought this router to hook up two computers to the internet via Ethernet cable.
I want to disable the guest access connection on E1000 wireless router but this option is not in the firmware menu. So, now I read that I need to use Cisco Connect on the CD to change this feature. When I run the Cisco Connect software, it says it can't configure the router (probably because I already have it configured). Why doesn't the Cisco Connect software simply take me to the settings where I can change the guest access feature? Why does it try to re-configure the router? Whoever designed this at Cisco was probably smokin some medical MJ because it doesn't make any sense that I have to go through so many hoops to do something so simple.
So I've realized that my parental controls were being ignored by the computers, at first I figured my son had found a work around to by-pass. But reading through the forums today, I've found that IPv6 being enabled might be the cause of my issue. So I'm currently sitting at work and connected to my router remotely, but for the life of me, can't see where to disable this option. Using the Smart Wi-Fi interface, closest I can get is "Connectivity, Internet Settings, IPv6 but everything is grayed out and no option to edit this.
I have two Windows 7 machines connected by wireless-N to my WAG160N. I frequently find that, although both computers can see the network, they can't see each other. I can temporarily solve this problem by disabling, and then re-enabling, the Wireless MAC filter.
My EA4500 router now automatically goes to Cisco Connect Cloud, and I can no longer access my router directly through my browser. I do not want to use Cisco Connect Cloud, for security reasons, so how can I disable the automatic access to the cloud? Use of the Cisco Connect Cloud should be optional, and not mandatory. If the cloud is the only way I will be allowed to make changes in my router, I may just have to return it to the store. Can this "feature" be turned off?
With the new firmware update, I have lost the functionality to disable broadcasting my SID after Pushed Firmware. There has to be a way to disable that information.
I have a WRT100 wireless router, which is configured for a PPPOE connection to my ISP. After running one of the tools to determine responsiveness of DNS name services, I would like to manually configure my DNS services, placing a more responsive service as my first DNS choice. In the router administration, I can configure three static DNS IP's. However, I don't see any place in the configuration to turn off the automatic DNS configuration from my ISP. So, when I issue an IPCONFIG /ALL on my computer, the DNS listing shows two DNS Name Services from my ISP ahead of the three static DNS IP's that I configured.
Can we disable wireless totally in E4200 and just use wired connections? I didn't see any configuration for that, but just in case I missed it. I'm also aware we can disable SSID Broadcast.
I have a Nat Strict problem with my router model WRT160N. I want to make a dedicated server with UT3.I tried many things like disabled all security in the router or disable UPNP, fowarding every ports that Unreal Tournament need or DMZ settings. I am running a batch file to start the dedicated server... but still have '' Nat is now strict'' in the log of my batch file. I cant see my server in the master server list inside the UT3 game. I tried to make the server without my router, directly connected to the modem and then it works instantly.
My router a E4200. the thing is i want to disable the dhcp services from the router, because there are allready a dhcp server in my network. but if i disable the dhcp will the Guest wifi functions still work?
I have an EA6500 wireless router and i have to constantly disable / enable the guest wireless access to get it working again. It might work some time less than a day but then it fails. I tried to set the wireless channel manually instead of auto and the same issue is happening. The private wireless ssid works just fine. I have the latest firmware.
I'm about fed up with with having this issue that no one can seem to solve. It dates back to when I owned a WRT54G router. I started experiencing random disconnects with the router, both wired and wireless. I only owned the router a year and figured it was going bad.
So I purchased this WRT120N router late August. Soon after I set the router up, low and behold the same problem started. I've called my ISP a couple occasions and they tell me that everything is fine from their end. I've spoken with Linksys tech support on 3 seperate occasions. I have changed the MTU to 3 different values and upgraded the firmware. The 2nd support tech suggested that I do those two things. To my surprise this worked for 2 or 3 weeks with no problem. The same problem started again just last night disconnecting intermittingly. I spoke with another support tech and they suggested that disable the SPI Firewall protection and Anonymous internet request. That did not work for the brief time I had this disabled.
More into the problem, when it disconnects the modem seems fine but the activity light on it stops as it should. The router itself appears to reboot, then when it comes back up the connection restores. What could possibly cause this? I currently have version 1.0.02.This is getting very frustrating and I am getting very near not using Linksys/Cisco products any longer.
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 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.
