I just bought an E2500. Wanted to set it up in bridge mode. I can't seem to find any way of doing this.Cisco Knowledge Base article # 4194 shows what I am attempting to do.
View 1 RepliesMy client has a DSL modem and a Belkin wired 4-port router configured to connect to it using PPPoE. Apparently there is no way to configure the E2500 such that it may be dropped in as a direct replacement for the Belkin (which would also provide wireless access) without the PPPoE login/password (from the DSL provider, Verizon).
I would like to connect the "Internet" port of the E2500 to one of the Belkin's 4 ports, in order to use the E2500 for wireless internet access without using any of the 4 wired ports but I think this creates a NAT within an existing NAT network?
To avoid that if I configure the E2500 in wired bridge mode, it becomes transparent, and I can no longer access its administration interface using the address 192.168.1.1 (since that address belongs to the Belkin). How may I, for example, change the wireless password which the E2500 is in wired bridge mode?
I accidently went into bridge mode on my linksys E2500 router. I want to reset it back to normal but i'm not sure how to do it. i tried the little reset button on the router but that didn't change it.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently bought a Cisco E2500 for work, and after setting the router to Bridge Mode, I am unable to access the router web interface. I tried both the old IP address (192.168.1.1) and the IP address that I entered when I was configuring Bridge mode, but I couldn't get either to work. I have always tried resetting the switch to factory defaults and trying again to make sure I didn't type anything wrong, but to no avail. The wireless and everything works as it should, I just can't get back into the router to change any of my settings.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a E4200 with 1.0.04 firmware that I've used for a while as a router in front of a cable modem. I have upgraded the modem to a Virgin Media SuperHub. I have connected my E4200's WAN port to one of the SuperHub's LAN ports and changed the E4200's mode to Bridged Mode.I can connect to the Internet wirelessly and wired on the SuperHub, but I can only connect to the Internet via the E4200 if I'm wired to it. The wireless will connect to the E4200, it gets allocated and IP address in the correct range and the gateway is shown as the SuperHub's IP address, and I can see the E4200's management website via wireless, but I cannot connect to anything beyond the E4200.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI bought the EA3500 nine months ago mainly for the USB port (for a NAS). I recently replaced Comcast Cable with Verizon FIOS. So I now have the FIOS router as my main router (its' IP address is 192.168.1.1). I put the EA3500 in bridge mode to extend the (wired) network. I could get: After going in to bridge mode (with DHCP), I can not log in to the EA3500 (IP address 192.168.1.5 assigned by the FIOS router). I connect my computer directly to one of the EA3500 numbered ports (after various combinations of rebooting EA3500 and rebooting PC). It just continues to say "waiting" and never logs in. Tried choosing a static route (tried both 192.168.1.43 and 192.168.1.5 with 255.255.255.0, gateway and DNS1 = 192.168.1.1) with no luck.Since I can't log in, I cannot set up my NAS on the USB port of the EA3500 (so I haven't gotten far enough to determine if the USB port will even work in bridge mode).Thought about ensuring the latest firmware but since I can't log in I can't do that. (And after a hard reset EA3500 IP address is 192.168.1.1 which creates conflict with FIOS)
View 9 Replies View RelatedAs I understand, the latest FW for the E4200 makes it possible to put he router into bridge mode. In this mode, I can use it as an access point. In bridge mode, should I then connect my router to the WAN port at the E4200?The other way to make the E4200 into an AP, is to disable DHCP and NAT and give the E4200 an IP address out of range for the DHCP range in my preferred router.
Choosing between this two option to make the E4200 into an AP, which is considered to be the best solution?And to be sure; using this option, then the Ethernet cable should be connected to the LAN port of the E4200? is the performance of an E4200 in AP mode the same as a dedicated AP like the WAP610N?
Just bought 2 e4200's! I have the first one connected to the ATT router, and I have the second one connected to the first in Bridge Mode. It works great! It knew how to configure itself to be the down-level client.
However, I noticed that the port speed is only 100 Mbps on the port that is acting as the link for the bridge. I am running brand-new CAT5e thru the house, and if I connect the cable directly to my laptop - I get 1Gbps. So I know that the cable is good.
Is there a way to change the speed of the INET port on the down-level e4200?
Started setting up a Linksys EA4500 Yesterday.

Regular access works. My smartphone obtains IP address, connects, accesses pages.Guest access loops through the "obtain IP address" step. Bridge mode might have a bug?
I have just received my 2 new cheap wrt54g2 routers. I already have a router with dhcp in my network, so I just need this routers to connect wired net and wireless. Is there any way to use this routers as a bridge? Earlier I used asus router, with disabled dhcp and lan cable connected to one of lan ports. But this is not comfortable, because I need to put ip address to router statically

I have just purchased t-mobile's at home phone service (voip) and they gave me a UTA200-TM Hiport Adaptor to connect for the service. Had Vonage (voip) for 2 years so know how it works and never had problems. This one however will only allow the phone line to stay on for about 30 seconds and then drop it. Have it connected to a modem (cable internet) and a WRT54GS Wireless Router. T-Mobile wants me to check to see if the router has bridge mode set up as they think that may be causing the phone line to drop out. How can I check that? I can not figure out the directions on the linksys site, too confusing.

View 1 Replies View RelatedRestarting the e4200 did not work. Resetting using the switch at the back did not resolve the issue. I was able to reset it via the 192.168.1.1 web page. After restoring my settings from backup, the issue remained the same. This was not alleviated after I updated the firmware. Plugging into one of the ports with a cat5 cable with my Mac, I was able to get an IP, yet I was not able to surf; same case with my MacBook.
Doing the 30-30-30 reboot did not fix this issue and all the while the front white light on the router went and stayed, solid.To see if I could get this to do ANY sort of meaningful internetting (is that even a word?) I put the e4200 in bridge mode and when I put the cable modem in, and all that plugs into this router works. This, of course, means that there is:
1. No Wifi signal and
2. It will not reset to factory settings.
I configured the EA4500 to work in bridge mode, to use it as an accespoint for an existing network (Linksys WRT610N). It gets an IP address (192.168.1.141), but does not offer a wireless network (the ethernet ports do offer network acces). When I try to access the configuration on IP address 192.168.1.141 I get the Linksys Smart Wifi page asking for the password. When I enter the password, a message "Waiting" appears and that's all. It keeps me waiting forever and I cannot access the configuration settings.I have tried to reset the router (30sec. reset button, power off 30sec, power on) but the result is the same.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have four E4200 units on my network, each with an unique IP address, in bridge mode to act as a wireless mesh across my entire building. They are all connected to my central L3 switch, via their Internet ports.
Is it possible to enable the Guest network on each unit, to create a 'Guest Wifi' mesh (providing that I allow the 192.168.33.0 network to route across my network fabric), or will this not work because each indivudual AP will be assigning IP address 192.168.33.1 as it's gateway address meaning that I would have four distinct MAC addresses within the network, each trying to claim that they are IP 192.168.33.1?
I have an E4200V2 with the latest .36 firmware installed.The E4200V2 is setup in Bridge Mode. THe 4200 DHCP's an IP for itself from my network infrastructure. This consists of a UBEE DOCSIS 3 (gig E output) modem on a 100 meg cable connection feeding an IP Cop Linux router/firewall and out to a gig switch, fully gig E on the network side. The wired portion of the network is absolutely bulletproof. And the older B only AP that ran well was also on this same setup.I have the E4200V2 set for N only on the 5 GHz side, and I had it set to Auto for channel selection, but manually set an unused channel currently. The 2.5 GHz side is set also manually to a locally unused channel now, and is set to mixed mode as I have B/G/N devices I need to connect to. The unused channel for both radios was detemined by scanning for AP activity using one of my Linux laptops. I have both the 5 GHz and 2.5 GHz radios set for 20/40 channel width. And I am using the recommended WPA2-Personal for security on both, with a separate SSID name for each radio.
The wireless connection for both E4200 V2 radios disconnects on fairly random but regular times and has to reconnect. This happens on both radios. There is no interference, and no network feed issues that would cause this. And the older B only Orinoco AP I replaced never had these issues. Signals are strong to all of the devices and the dropouts occur even when testing with a laptop several feet from the E4200V2. If I am streaming a video over GoogleTV or music or playing an online game, the 4200 disconnects regularly and the devices need to reconnect. This happens on both radios and to every device.
The latest firmware seems to support bridge mode. Does it mean the router can connect to another router wirelessly in the bridge mode?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a Fiber to Ethernet connector from my ISP. The Ethernet cable goes to an iSP issued Zyxel router. Into this router the landline phoneservice connects to give us VoIP landline service (which is cheaper). An Ethernet cable goes from the Internet port on the E4200 to a LAN port on the Zyxel router. That works great but I had to put the E4200 into Bridge Mode to get it to connect to the Internet via the Zyxel router which I need to use the phone services my ISP provides. I bought the E4200 because I wanted to use the dualband functionally and get a 802.11N 5GHz network setup and to give me the ability to block certian websites and services which I knew Cisco/Linksys is famous for - the abillity to control your network.
Well then imagine my surprise when I could not use the Parental Control settings when the router is in Bridge Mode... This was the reason I bought this router over an Apple Airport Exreme. Is there anyway to get it to let me use the Parental Control anyway while in Bridge Mode or a better way for me to connect the router with the rest of my network?
Slingbox no longer uses software, but is now web based. I got a new computer and when I go to the site it can't locate my slingbox on their network.
When I go to the site and sign in, it loads the application but then scolls as it looks for my box on the network until it times out. Slingbox directory shows my slingbox, but it says unconfigured.
I called tech support, where I was told my 90 days for free support had expired 2 weeks ago. The port forwarding instructions I found on the internet made references to going into the router and selecting port range forwarding and have start and end port of 5100 and then enable that port.
When I go to support on the slingmedia page, it displays my slingbox with Slingbox status alert, software warning. Instructions state go to slingmedia site and look for update, but if my box is not on thier directory, I can't download update.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have spent most of the weekend trying to get this router to act as a proper Access Point.
When it does work (Stay connected) speeds and latency are rotten. If I go back to Routing Mode this thing kicks butt, but I isolate all devices attached to a different subnet and trying to set up proper routes has proved imposable. Firmware 1.0.2 r 13
The online help stated to connect to the "internet interface" when in Bridge Mode DHCP Server Is not broadcasting to on the wireless or wired interfaces.
If I used the wired interface as the uplink I can broadcast the DHCP to any device on wired but again nothing to the Wireless. When I "Show Routing Table" I see two static routes pointing to the ATT router for the Wired/Wireless Interfaces.. 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 (my Gateway) Wired/Wireless (my Gateway) 255.255.255.0 0.0.0. Wired/Wireless
AP mode should only be working in Broadcast. By connecting the Wired Interfaces alone up to my switched network should not use the router at all. If you force all traffic to my router all traffic has to be inspected by the firewall You create a bottleneck my router interface is 10/100.
ATT 2 Wire Gateway/Router with pinholes. 10/100/1000 Non managed 24 port Switch Network. Server infrastructure serving DNS/DHCP.
I decided to buy this after reading it offered Bridge/Access Point mode instead of getting the WAP610 because I wanted to have the option to change to routing mode or AP mode. Since my ATT Uverse Router Wireless is “g” it takes forever to transfer files to and from my servers.
