connecting a droboshare device to a linksys router. The droboshare that I've been using for several years and have A LOT of important files on works well with my old router (sagem) and now on my new e4200 doesn't appear to connect.
View 3 RepliesI want to know how I can manually limit the Kbps for a particular devince in the QOS.I DO NOT want to simply set the priority (low/med/high). I want to "physically" limit a device.
When I select to do it manually (upstream bandwidth) it limits ALL devices and I do not want this. I want to limit the bandwidth on only one device that is connected (ie an Xbox)
I have a Linksys E4200 V2
I've verified that the router and the pc have the same time zone, daylight savings update specification and that they both showed the same time (00:56AM). But a file created on the attached USB device was timestamped 01:56AM (the date was correct).

I've upgraded to the latest Cisco Connect software and to version 1.0.0.3 router firmware. I get the message "A non-supported device is connected to your router's USB port. Disconnect that device and follow the steps below to connect a USB printer to your router." Cisco support was not beneficial.

View 1 Replies View RelatedLast week I purchased the E4200 and for simplicity, I configured it with basic settings using Cisco Connect. Today, I went into the web interface. The only thing I did was review settings and get the Routers PIN (it appears that Intel Chipset cards on Windows requires this PIN?) Close the browser (did not save any settings) and now I am completely locked out of the device. Cannot connect does not accept the wireless password. I hard reset the device, ran through the wizard. Everything was working again. Launch the browser and connected to the device closing window and balm?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have the new E4200 with an attached 750GB hard disk.All works well, however the media server becomes unavailable most of the time and renders the device useless.
I can connect to the Media Server from my xbox and laptop for an hour or so, and then all of a sudden it is gone. The only option I have is to reboot the router to bring it back online however not all of the music and videos are shown on the media server (yet).I uploaded quite a bit of music and video to the hard disk, I can initiate a scan but after a while the media server becomes unavailable / cannot connect to it.
How to connect the e4200 to a mac via afp? Trying to mount the network drive so the mac see it and can use for time machine backup.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have full signal strength but I can't connect to the internet from any device. Internet works fine when connected directly to devices. Devices will show an IP address but will not connect to the internet. The first router worked fine for about a year and did the same thing so I replaced it but now after 1 month, this router is doing the same thing!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've had this router for just over a year now so the warranty is out and it just so happened to stop functioning last night. I'm fairly decent in the router world since I am studying for my CCNA, so I have tried just about anything imaginable. I woke up this morning with no connection, checked the modem, then the router. The router was powered on, but the up/downstream lights were not doing a thing. The modem is not the issue (I am hardwired as of now). I have tried both resets, including unplugging the device, and still can't get a response out of it. The logo light will turn straight on (no fad in and out like it's suppose to) and then it does absolutely nothing. I have never encountered this sort of problem on a home router before. I can't login to the router either.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have 2 E4200's . One is connected to my ADSL Modem as DHCP and the other one is Bridged to the DHCP. I'm trying to connect to my E4200 that is set as Bridged. I am able to connect to my E4200 that is set as DHCP, but I cannot connect to the E4200 that is connected to that DHCP as Bridged.
How can I connect to that bridged E4200 because I want to upgrade the Firmware of the Bridged E4200?.
Been having problems connecting an old WGA54G v2 (firmware 1.16, March 29, 2005) to a new E4200 v2 (firmware 2.0.36) via WPA. I can get the two to connect using no encryption or WEP but not WPA. Using WEP is not an option for me,E4200 v2 wireless settings:
1. 5GHz broadcast is off, 2.4 GHz is on.
2. Network Mode - Mixed
3. Security Mode - WPA2/WPA Mixed Mode
4. Channel Width - Auto
5. Channel - Auto
6. Guest Access broadcast is off
WGA54G v2 settings:
1. SSID - same as router
2. Network type - Infrastructure
3. Security - enabled
4. Pre-shared key - same as router
5. Encryption - WPA Pre-shared Key, TKIP (tried AES, but still no connection)
Also, tried different WPA network modes on the router (Mixed, WPA personal, WPA2 personal etc.) to no avail. Switched between mixed, B and G network modes as well on e4200 v2 but still no connection. My guess now is that the WPA on the gaming adapter and the WPA on the router are just not compatible, as completely asinine as that sounds. Thought about updating firmware on the WGA54G v2 but checked in the download section here and the last firmware available is 1.13 (appears older than my 1.16, even though the 1.13 release date listed is a month after my 1.16).
I have this E4200 for about 3 months and allways has been used as an wireless router. Today i wanted to connect 2 wired computers to it via lan and whatever i do dosnt connect. Dosnt even let me acces the 192.168.1.1 page to router settings.I am on firmware 1.0.02, i also did a full reset and then did set up with cisco connect, did try that thing with the cisco usb connect and still no joy with the LAN conection.
One comp uses win 7 the other is on win xp. I can connect both comps succesfully to other router via the gigabit ports but not to this one.
On the 2.4ghz side, I'm set up on the cleanest channel (per inssider) which is 6, channel width is auto (although I've tried it fixed at 20 also), N-only, and security is WPA2 personal. WMM support is enabled. I'm running firmware 1.0.02 The laptops continually stay around 72mpbs, occasionally jumping to numbers in the 100 range... twice I saw it actually hit 144. Inssider shows the max rate as 144, while other N networks in range are as high as 270. I'm sitting right next to the router with 5 bars -- why is the max rate 144? Why won't it run at 300?
View 9 Replies View RelatedSo I purchased a Linksys E4200 a couple weeks ago from Best Buy (got the $149 price) and finally got around to setting it up last Thursday. Before I get to my problem, I am happy to say that I have not experienced the "blinking light" syndrome that seems to plauge a number of other owners. In fact, the E4200 is everything I hoped it would be ... except for one problem. I cannot get my sister's Acer Aspire One netbook to connect to it.
It's really strange actually; the netbook picks up the 2.4GHz SSID fine (it's set to mixed mode) and upon selecting it and I input the WPA2-Personal password no problem. Then, it takes forever to finally aquire a network address, like at least 3 full minutes (usually this process takes a few seconds). After that, it tells me it is connected to the network with excellent signal strength. Except, despite it saying it's connected, the Internet does not work at all. If I got into the details of the wireless adapter, it tells me that the router/network failed to give the adapter a network address.

after setting up my e4200, I am no longer able to connect to Steam, I instantly get a connection error. I'm told it should work fine with UPNP, and I've even forwarded the proper ports just in case, but I cannot connect. I have latest firmware. Hoping someone else out there has same router and uses Steam.
View 6 Replies View Related1. I will be getting a e4200 on Thursday and was wondering if there is any advantage/disadvantage to using the Cisco Connect or just following instructions for manual setup using the web (I did it that way on my last router 6 years ago but was just following a script).?
2. Can I change things using the web after setting up using Cisco Connect or do I have to always use it:?
3. Finally after I set the router up can I just set up other computers in the house as I do now (just plug them in using wire or search for wireless and put in password)?
I've switched over from a d-link dir-655 router to the v1 4200. I've been playing around with the 4200 and trying to get it connected to my tv all night long. I have two laptops and two iphones connecting with no issues. I cannot for the life of me get the tv (GT30) to work. It picks up three signals, the 2.4 signal, the 5 signal and the guest signal. The only one that will even connect to the internet is the guest signal. When I run the connection test, however it will not connect to the vierra connect server. I've tried setting it up manually, and anything else that seems obvious. I had no issue with the dlink router at all.

Firmware: 2.0.37
Just bought E4200-V2 and happy with the performance, except one thing.After several hours, I could not connect to the router manager both from "Cisco Connect" nor browser.I could resolve this by turn off the router and turn on again, but the same problem will be back after several hours.I tried to reset the router (reset 30 and reset 30/30/30) several times but have no luck.
I've noticed that my 192.168.1.1 login console was slow loading up on my E4200 V1. The router functioned just fine(wireless and wired). These past few days I tried to log in to set some DNS settings and I cannot access 192.168.1.1.I have tried via wireless and wired. The router powers on still seems to function but won't allow me to load up the admin console page.To my last resort, I held in the tiny reset button and the router seems to have went back to it's default settings (SSID = Cisco#####) but I cannot connect to it. what I can try to get back into the management window.I was able to manage everything from my laptop about a month ago or so, but now I can't do anything.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have set up my WAG320N with my E4200v1 successfully. The problem is that my laptops can't connect through WiFi with the E4200 router, but only with the WAG320N (wireless). Since it is the first time I set up a network alone I possible have made mistakes and that's why I can't connect to my router wirelessly. My desktop pc will successfully connect to both of my routers (wired)! My devices won't (DS,Laptops). I have WEP security in my WAG320N (because this is the only one my DS card can connect to) and in my E4200 I want to use WAP2 to connect my 2 laptops. I have made nothing more than setting them up and both of my evices are new.
It is for home use, both of my devices are updated to their latest firmware and the laptops won't identify the problem and will ask to restart the router. (I did many restarts both on my routers, PC, laptops)
Can I use a USB hub to connect more than 1 hard drive/flash drive device to the EA4500?

I tried the Site Survey method of pairing them as well as manual. When it fails it goes through the minute timeout of trying and then Link Status is disconnected. I have anything from phones to laptops connect to the E4200 with wireless N, its just the WET610N that doesnt want to pair.

E4200 does fail functionality on 2 area's:
- 1) Media Streaming Server
- 2) NAS supporting modern USB devices, which register with multiple personalities/devices in one physical USB device.
1) Is already known by Cisco and hopefully the choose to fix it properly
2) Must be known now. Multiple users are reporting this lack of support.
NAS functionality of E4200 does not work/ gives problems with:
- Toshiba StorE Alu 2S USB 3.0, 1 TB disk. PN: PA4239E-1HJ0
- Iomega eGo 1 TB USB 3.0, (black casing) , PN 31924500, RPHD-UG3
Both drives report themself with 2 devices under Windows 7: 1x USB storage decive + 1x CD readonly device?
I'm using E4200 with latest 1.0.02 firmware and found I can not connect to VPN with my iPhone4 by WiFi.Googled a bit and found it's a common problem for Cisco routers when wireless devices can not connect to VPN but wired ones connects with no problems.\

View 5 Replies View RelatedI just got a new E4200 router and downloaded Cisco Connect from the web site...file name CiscoConnect.E4200.1.4.11160.2.exe. When I try to run it, I find through Task Manager that Setup.exe is using about 35 to 40% CPU, but I'm never even getting to anything on the screen, nor is Task Manager even showing it as a running application. I'm running Windows XP SP3 (latest updates). I tuned off the AVG virus scan. But it still just seems to hang. BTW, I used the web interface to fully configure the router and it works fine so I could get by without Cisco Connect, but it might just be easier to use.
