Linksys Wireless Router - E1500 :: Unable To Access Certain Websites And Game Servers?
Feb 17, 2013
I've been having a strange intermitent problem with my E1500 wireless router. When we first bought and installed it everything was working well with no known problems. After several months no one using the router was able to access certain websites as well as a game server that we play on. No one had made any changes to the router settings and I assumed at first that it was an ISP problem. After talking with our ISP tech support they finally suggested plugging my PC directly into the modem rather then the router. I did and found that the websites and servers that previously wouldn't connect while using the router were now reachable. Any changes to the router settings since installation.I decided that just in case someone unauthorized had made changes to simply revert the router to factory settings and reinstall the software. After doing this I found that I could again reach the websites and servers that I previously could not. So time went on with no problems until a few months later when the same websites and servers were again unreachable by anyone on our router. I again reset the router to factory settings and changed passwords as a precaution, but this time the websites and servers were unreachable even though I had just reset the router.
I just bought a Linksys E1500 router and followed the CD instructions for setup. It is wired to my desktop and I am unable to access the internet. If I go direct to the modem and bypass the router the internet works fine
I have had my router for about a month and all the wireless lan stuff seems to be brilliant. Recently I signed up to an ISP (Plusnet), and can't access most websites. The ISP has told me that I should take this up with my Router company. I seem to be having the exact same problems as this guy was having [url]....
I recently bought the E4200 v2. When I first installed, I ran the firmware update and then performed a hard reset (push reset button for 20 secs). I then began to enter all the PPPoE information and network settings into the new router (verified these settings with the existing WRT54GL router I'm current using and they all matched). I then disconnected the old router, and powered up the E4200. I was able to access the new router (192.168.0.1), I could see all previously shared files/computers with the new router, but I could not access most websites - usually I got a timeout error, or they eventually loaded in 10x the usual speed. This was typical of both laptops - one wired, and one wireless. My wireless handheld device could connect to the wireless network, and ran a speeedtest.net test, and upload/download speeds were normal - but I could not access the internet from the device. When I switched back to the old router, everything worked perfectly again. I have tried some suggestions on changing MTU values, but that did not seem to make any difference.
As a work-around, I have ended up keeping the WRT54GL as the main router and using the E4200 in bridged mode for wireless only (not what I ideally would like)..
I've been on DSL with British Telcom Infnity (FTTC) since March and had no problems with the service. My router, however, an Apple Time Capsule, was not so reliable and needed a reboot every few days,So I just purchased the E4200 V2The Setup completes OK and PPPoE logs into my ISP fine. But then I hit the problem.Most of the websites I use simply won't load . In Safari on my OS X Lion, Macbook, I get an error like this "Request Timeout. The server timed out while waiting for the browser's request. Reference #2.525fdd58.1336048435.0" In IE on my Windows XP laptop, the error is "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"But some websites still load fine. So [url]..., loads instantly. Most other sites I try, including [url]... - won't load at all. (Plusnet is my ISP)If I connect to my work VPN, I can browse as normal
i have and original xbox 360 hardwired to my linkisis router. i can use xbox live silver with all the game marketplaces and all that but when i have gold and try to go on multiplayer it says xbox liv servers are unavailible. my internet provider is xplornet and i have avg anti virus on my laptop
I followed the directions at least 6 times and I still had no internet connection. Is this because I have Windows 8 and all directions are for windows 7? I finally gave up and hooked back up our 6 year old belkin wi fi router. Had internet access in 1 minute. I bought this wi fi router was because Amazon described it as simple, quick, automatically does the work of hooking it up for you. Takes less than 5 minutes.
I have a Linksys E1500 wireless router that I have had for about 3 months and it has been working great up until today. I realized non of my wireless devices could detect the network, so I got on my PC which is hard wired to the router and it to says it had no network connection. So I power cycled both the router and the modem. When it came back up, this PC that I am typing from now has an internet connection but is says it is connected to Network 2 instead of the routers name for the network. My other PC that is hard wired to the router says its not connected to the network, and when I open up the Cisco Connect software it tells me my router is not plugged in. Also, nothing works wirelessly.In the web control panel it still has all my setting intact but still looks like its not connected to the internet.
I just purchased a new linksys e1500 and followed the steps on the cd to set it up. I have internet access on my windows 7 laptop and iphone however, I have "local access only" on the two laptops we have running vista. The router is working fine for the windows 7 machine and the iphone but I cannot connect to the internet on the two vista machines.
How do i setup my Linksys E1500 router as an access point? I have a main router upstairs but the signal is weak in the basement. How do i configure this router as an access point for internet?
I've been researching this for a day now and have just confused myself further. Long story short, I just picked up an EA4500 and there's still a dead area in the house. I already have one ethernet cable that's being used which runs from the one side of the house to the other. After researching this, I believe I can set up the E1500 as an Access Point to further the range of the wireless signal via the ethernet cable and 2 routers. I just have a few additional questions that the articles and walkthroughs I've read through didn't seem to address.
I set up the EA4500 and have 2 SSID's, one for 2.4Ghz and one for 5Ghz band. When I set the SSID on the E1500, should I use the 2.4Ghz SSID from the EA4500 or should I reset the EA4500 to factory defaults and only use the 1 SSID instead of splitting them? Or, should I use a totally different SSID altogether on the E1500?I think from what I read, you should use different channels for each router; does it matter which ones you use as there's not that much traffic in my area and do I need to change the channel on both bands of the EA4500? Or can these all be left to Auto?Can you still use the ethernet ports on the AP/E1500 or are they rendered useless if you set it up in this mode?
Been more than 2 years since I purchsed this router from US and has been working flawlessly till now. Lately I have been facing issues with few websites not opening when my laptop is connected to the router using a lan cable. Sites like speedtest.net (I get the download speed but when it needs to upload it is stuck there forever), [URL] is another which just does not open.
I tried opening these sites using e4200 wifi and everything works perfectly. I even updated the firmware to the latest 1.0.05 build 7 Aug 23, 2012 but still the same issue.
My router set to Automatic configuration - DHCP...
Also when I directly connect the internet cable to my laptop lan, everything opens without any issues.
I have a ADSL Modem with built in router that the E1500 is connected to via Ethernet.If I choose "Automatic Configuration" for the internet connection setting on the E1500 I can enable DHCP on the E1500 but the gateway it gives to clients is always that of itself (192.168.1.1). The gateway it should be is that of the ADSL Modem (192.168. 1. 254).If I choose "Bridge Mode" I can't even enable DHCP.Is there a way I can use the DHCP server?
I upgraded my old Linksys wrt54g to the E1500. All the XP os are connected via cable and wireless connection, but the Vista laptop i get local access only connection error. This laptop used to connect on the older router using wep but with E1500 wpa-2 it cannot connect. I am unable to ping the router from the laptop wireless. Connecting ethernet cable it works fine and logging in as a guest works does too.
Living in a student house in the UK, under Orange ISP in central Manchester. My 5 housemates are connected wirelessly to the same router, and are all receiving much faster download speeds (2 megabytes per second etc), and consistant connections than mine (which goes up to 2 megabytes per second, to under 1 kilobyte), yet they may be further away in the house etc.My wireless connection speed varies, changing every second between parameters 54.0mbps, to 1mbps, and ping on ventrillo VoIP software going between 16 and believe it or not, 16,000. I've tried changing the wireless channels, but still no luck, as for connections to game servers, my internet is so bad I can't tell if I've got to do port forwarding/triggering (something along those lines), or if it's just too awful to connect full stop. I'll get to a log in screen, some games like HoN, it will say connecting to server, and appear to time out, nothing happens. Guild wars 2 however logs in, however the second I appear in-game it freezes and lags out.I've contemplated getting a powerline adapter, however if everyone else is getting better wireless speeds and having no issues what-so-ever, it may be on my PC's end, and I'll have wasted £30. A 20M ethernet cable isn't practical either, as student houses have forced closure fire doors which would chew the cable to bits in days, and if a drunk housemate tripped over it on the stairs, they'd rip the back of my PC out...
I run several game servers here locally.... Counter Strike Source, Unreal Tournament 3, Call of Duty 4, Call of Duty 4 GunGame, Garry's Mod.
They all run in their own VM's. All VM's are accessable on wireless via any other protocol RDP and UT3 web admin. None of the games show up in the in game server browsers in the LAN. If you connect wired to the gig switch they show up.
If you go into the console of a game and connect directly to the IP of the machine you can enter the game. There is no problem connecting with the server only that it doesnt show up in the browser on wireless
Obviously my wireless router is funky. WRT160N with DDWRT. Currently setup as an AP.
I installed a X3000 yesterday. I notice I can't access parts of certain websites - it seems to be just those parts of each site where a logon/password is required.My wireless dongle on the same laptop works OK, so it seems to be a router problem?
Got a new EA4500 for Xmas. After setting up the new router I could only access you tube and Google at a very slow speed, however I can not access any other website - Facebook, yahoo and etc... it would ping yahoo and Google no problem friend told me to do a tracer to some ip address and his conclusion was the router is fully functional
ISP uses PPPoE, Im sure that the username and password are correct. upgraded to the latest firmware manually, and holy hell accessing the router with no internet access.
When someone goes into a game (e.g. Minecraft) instead of typing an IP to join a game they simply type in [URL] and then the server gets added just the same as if you typed in an IP (123.456.789 sorta thing)
My friend used to do this on his website and it worked across multiple games, so people only entered his website and didnt need to remember the IP. if you type in [URL] in minecraft then u can add that server without the IP, thats what i mean.
my laptop was used by my Mother, So when i got back The anti virus guard got unknown error Avira free vers, and i had services.exe infected, and i had already found a way to clean it it, by renaming services.exe to services.bak and putting another computers services.exe.
I have an XP machine that i am not access websites from. the machine is hardwired into a router, the other computers connected to the router(wifi) are able to get access websites without issue.here are the steps i have taken and the things i know so far.im pulling a valid ip address, with correct dns/gateway all that good stuff
able to ping other machines on the network, pings the router, and able to ping google.com(so i know there is connection between me and the internet, and that dns is working)
installed firefox to see if it was a problem with IE, no go.took a look at the active process and looked up anything that wasnt familiar, that seems to be good.virus scan with avast came up clean, avast is able to connect to its database and pull the most current virus defs. there isnt a firewall, the only security measures on the computer is avast.
I've installed aDIR655 for my friend's cafe and found that Clients ( both wired and WIFI ) have difficulties accessing Yahoo and MSN while Googles etc ( and other Newspaper and webmail sites are OK ) is fine.....I tried to reload and reboot and re-config etc but all in vain...
I am trying to find an effective way to extend the wireless signal across our home. I have tried various different solutions. Currently, I have an e4200 primary router that is cascaded with two additional e1500 routers that have been configured as access points. The Linksys support team hosted my computer and configured the devices. The e1500 routers are connected via ethernet wires running through the walls. And, this seems to be working well. Here's my question. The e1500 routers are configured with different SSID names, which Linksys advised was required to avoid conflicts in communications from the three router devices. Is there any way to configure this set up or something similar so that the entire wireless network has the same SSID and is seamless. In the current configuration, I have to specifically connect to the primary router or one of the two access points.
I have recently started having a problem with wireless lag. I set up a linksys wrt54gl wireless router and pluged my PC directly into it since it doesnt have a wireless card. Recently my roomate has been complaining that whenever I start a game on steam he gets lag, he is on a wireless macbook. Our internet speed is 10mb/s and im wondering if it is the router.
Have to re-boot 1-2x daily. Updated firmware through Cisco, followed by about 7-8 support calls. They all recommend some sales thing, new router, computer update and clean-up, or blame it on my modem (not the case). When E1500 goes down, all wired and wireless connections are lost. They all recommend some sales thing, new router, computer update and clean-up, or blame it on my modem (not the case).
If the wifi can be turned off on the E1500. I got this unit from a family member and do not need the wifi part, as I have two computers, but are in the same room. I have the cisco connect on my computer and do not see a disable wifi in the program anywhere.
With the E4100 I can setup a LAN game of call of duty mw3 and 1 xbox can join the other, pretty simple, Ive always been able to do this with all xbox games that have LAN ability.With the EA6500 I see the game is availible on LAN, but I can never connect to the game, it tries to connect and says cannot connect.Any LAN settings Im missing here, or just another EA6500 bug to add to the list?
I just purchased a e1500 to replace my wrvs4400n which sadly died. yea I do loose a lot of features. I set up everything without a hitch but when I try to use Wireless-N mode only, none of my computers can connect to the router and all my computers use N cards. I'm stuck on using Mixed Mode which limits my speed to G speeds. I didn't purchase this to be a G router but an N router and it seems N mode has issues. I am on the current firmware.
I recently purchased the Linksys E1500 and at first, had no problems with it. The last few days I've had issues however. I tried logging into the internet and my WIRED computer would not connect. My wifes WIRED computer next to mine didn't have any trouble connecting. Resetting my computer didn't work. I had to cycle the router by unplugging it! Then today, my (2) kids are using Pandora on their (2) computers wirelessly, and same set up with my wifes computer and mine, and again only my computer looses access from the router and all other computers stay connected.
