Linksys Wireless Router :: E2500 Is Blocking Website
Mar 19, 2012
I have a Linksys E2500 wireless router. It seems to be blocking a website (evernote.com). I cannot access this site from any of the computers/ devices in our house, whether they be connected by ethernet or wireless. However, when i move to a different network, I can connect to this site immediately from exactly the devices that do not connect in our house.
How can I determine how/if the router is somehow blocking this site? I have reset the router and upgraded the firmware. Same problem persists. I see nothing in the router settings that would be blocking this site, and I have certainly done nothing intentional in the settings to block this. We used to be able to connect to this with no problems, but all of a sudden, we are blocked.

Setting up website blocking. I have set up access restrictions for selected times and days but I also want to set up access restrictions for webistes. Perhaps I'm just not clear on how this is supposed to work - I created a policy called 'Site' and then enter the URL in the website blocking area. The options under the 'Access Restrictions' area are either 'Allow' or 'Deny' - intuitively one would assume the selection should be 'Deny' since this policy is to block access to specific URL's. However, if I click 'Deny' and then save, then the URL's I just entered are cleared. However, if I select 'Allow' then I am essentially giving 24hour access every day to my computers (but blocking the URLs), which then seems to go against the access restrictions I set up for selected times and days. Perhaps these two policies are mutually exclusive but it does not seem clear that it is.

I have a Linksys E2500 Firmware Version: 1.0.03 and am using the "IPSec Passthrough" for work. On a typical day I'll sign in to my work's VPN, do my work, sign off in the evening, and read my personal email with a direct connection to the internet.
Then on the next morning, I am unable to connect to work until I go to http://192.168.1.1/index.asp and click "reboot." And as soon as the modem finishes rebooting, my laptop can connect to work. I've tried this several days in a row now, and indeed all I need to do to get the VPN passthrough working is rebooting the modem.
Nothing under "Applications & Gaming" is set. I've seen some posts about having a trigger on UDP port 500, but I'm not quite sure how to translate it for the E2500. Plus I'd rather the router "just work" day after day for VPN and everything else, like my old router did! Is there some other setting to try or clearer directions for a bulletproof IPSec passthrough on that unit?

I just installed the E2500 to replace my older router. With my older router I was able to share files between the different computers in my house. All I did was replace the old router with the new one and now they cant share files? I looked through the router settings and cant find anything showing firewall blocking the file and print sharing. why I cant share the files and how to allow the file sharing?

There is a way to block access to a website by password protecting it through my linksys router, which is one of thoe wrt54gs. I know I can completely block access of a website and can restrict the viewing hours of facebook at certain times through the router admin IP site but was wondering if it was possible to make it so you have to use a password to view said certain site. If there isn't is there any way maybe through a program or do I have to go through my ISP to see if they can do what I am asking for.

WAG320 allows website blocking, to enable this you can use a keyword. I would like to use this function to block anoying advert sites (in the same way I could with my Netgear DG834GT) - However the way this function has been implemented is less than ideal.
e.g. when a site is blocked by the router, the router does not return a response - this is great until that site forms only part of a web page that is permitted. What then happens is the web page takes forever to load as the responses have to timeout for the blocked components.
The way this function *should* have been implemented, is the router should return a blank response for each of the blocked sites. Netgear do this and it works a treat, they even put up a banner saying "Website blocked by Netgear".
This is such a simple feature, why has Cisco overlooked this and how do I go about raising a product enhancement ? I've been through the helpdesk which quite frankly is a farse, they asked me to reflash my firmware which surprisingly didn't resolve the issue - they then told me to send them the unit back because it must have a fault !?!? (and I have to pay for postage of course!) I explained the issue about 5 times, but the operator on the other end was just a script reader and I could not speak to an engineer - very poor.

For the last week, I haven't been able to access my banking web site (Royal Bank in Canada). It doesn't matter which browser (FireFox, IE, Chrome) or computer (desktop, laptop) or even my cell (on WiFi).It must be the router (DIR-825, HW-B1, FW-2.07NA) since I can connect to the web site fine if I connect straight to the modem. (Also, if I turn off WiFi on my cell, I can connect to their web site but once I turn WiFi back on, it wont connect).I tried restoring to factory settings but that didn't work.I tried some of the suggestions here: http:[url].....
- Turn off ALL QoS or Disable Traffic Shaping. Advanced/QoS.
- Turn off Advanced DNS Services if you have this option under Setup/Internet/Manual.
- Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices ON the router. Setup/Networking
- Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
- Set Firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP under Advanced/Firewall.
- Enable uPnP and Multi-cast Streaming under Advanced/Networking.

I have a dir-655 a3 router that is blocking my website ip address.I could previously access this site until one day, without changing any router settings, it started blocking communication to my website. pings, tracerts, web browsers, everything simply times out. It resolves the IP address ok but doesn't go any further than that. I was on firmware 1.31 and have now upgraded to 1.35NA, but no luck. I have also tried resetting factory defaults to no avail. If i bypass the router and plug my computer straight into the modem, the site loads fine. so its definitely the router. I have tried this on a number of devices to make sure. It appears that for some reason the router is blocking that specific IP address as it is on a shared hosting and I can't access any other sites on the same IP address. Does the router check the IP address with any web service before returning the request?

In Setup > Parental Control it is possible to set rules attached to specific website URLs. I want to block access from 1am to 6am.
However these rules only apply to websites URL. Is there a way to apply a rule to ALL websites at once? I tried to enter "*" or "*.*" in website URL field but it doesn't work.

I have an RV110W running firmware version 1.0.1.6 and I am trying to figure out how to enable website blocking in the Internet Access Policy screen. The Add Row button is grayed out in that section, as are the associated checkboxes.
Is there something else one needs to do to enable this feature?
If I set a name etc. at the top, and click save, it tells me "You must at least set a website blocking or PCs rule," so it is not the case that one has to save some information before continuing!

I've had this router for years. I have 2 servers always on, 1 computer with skype, and a 2nd linux machine with ports SSH, bittorrent, and SFTP open. Nearly all the port forwards are assigned to support this.
I got a brand new desktop with lots of CPU/Ram and was using it for development. The network card kept "going out" I would be online and all of a sudden no connections would go out from it.As I tested and diagnosed it I found it still got and held a valid IP, received DNS, but no HTTP or FTP connections would work externally. If I tried to HTTP or FTP to any computer locally on the network it would work fine. But try to access the internet and it was nothing. Restaring the machine would solve it but only for a while, usually run normally for 10-15 minutes then lose network again.. re-installed the drivers, the OS, but the problem remained. I shelfed the unit figuring it was an internal problem with the desktop since it was the only machine.Recently I got a refurbished laptop. to my surprise, it began doing the same thing as soon as I used it! exact same symptoms. So I pulled the old desktop out and it runs completely fine now! the problem has 'transfered' from the desktop to the laptop so I now believe its the router. The router does it to both wired and wireless devices, and seems to target one device at a time to be bitchy to. Allows them to run for a while and then blocks all outgoing port 80/443/21 from that device.
Firmware Version: v2.0.03 Because of DNS issues with the modem the static DNS is transfered directly to my service providers DNS machine NAT enabled, all other advanced routing disabledSPI is onall Internet filters are on, all Web filters are off on FirewallVPN functions disabledAccess Restrictions are offAll Single Port Forwarding slots are directed to 2 machines (which have no problems)No port range triggeringno DMZ or priorities set on QoS
Everything that I know to check for (security, filters, restrictions) are showing errors or something that might cause this. I believe it may be related to the IP expiring, and when the IP renews the router stops permitting its traffic outbound.

I'm currently setting the MAC address filtering for my Linksys E2500 router. I have about 20 devices which i'm allowing to access my router, so i keyed in the MAC addresses into the config page and save setting. But only 16 addresses are registered, the rest refused to register no matter how many times i key in, it just reset back to 00:00:00:00:00:00 after i click on save setting.

We have a home use WRT160N router linked to a PC desktop and two wireless laptops, Yesterday bought a new I-Phone, but could not link to my network (entered the security key many times). I accidentally connected to computer fix it firm that linked to my PC and wanted a large sum to fix the problem which he said was due to large number of temp?? internet files and once removed he would change the IP address of the desktop computer? Is this diagnosis logical and can I do it on my own. The router is definetely working - both laptops access the internet and I was recently able to hook up a Samsung Blu-Ray player using the same security code I used for the I-Phone.

I cannot connect to my company’s VPN after installing the current firmware (FW_E4200_1.0.02.013_US_20110524) on my E4200 router. Version 1.0.01 was on the router when I received it, and it worked without issues. As soon as I upgraded version 02, I could not initialize a VPN connection. When I try to start a VPN session, I get a "page not found" error when attempting to initiate SSL VPN service using a Microsoft Forefront Unified Access Gateway. VPN pass through is enabled for all protocols in the e4200’s setup. As soon as I revert to firmware 01, everything works fine again.
I did a fresh download and re-flashed the 02 firmware just to make sure that it wasn’t an issue with a bad download or a faulty flash. The problem is consistent and repeatable. I have upgraded and downgraded twice, and the results are exactly the same. My VPN connection works with firmware 01, and it fails with version 02. There is a something different in the 02 firmware that is blocking VPN access.

Device: Linksys E1500 - firmware: 1.0.01? I've got a static IP setup for a small remote office and want to keep tabs on their internet connection by pinging it via a monitoring program we use. However, the router seems to not responding to ICMP.
- Filter Anonymous Internet Requests is unchecked.- I've verified that the Static IP is correct.
- I've tried pinging from several remote locations on different connections, with no avail.
I can't seem to figure out why i can't ping this device. I just want to make sure there isn't a setting in the wireless router that is preventing echo replies.The only other thing i can assume is that Comcast is filtering ICMP on their side of the WAN connection.EDIT: Here's a traceroute from my PC to the WAN side of the Linksys....
Tracing route to 50-194-XXX-XXX-static.hfc.comcastbusiness.net [50.194.XXX.XXX]over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 172.25.2.1 2 6 ms 16 ms 6 ms 10.0.0.5 3 9 ms 8 ms 8 ms 10.0.0.1 4 7 ms 7 ms 7 ms 10.0.0.2 5 8 ms 7 ms 7 ms ont-static-208.57.XXX.XXX.mpowercom.net [208.57.XXX.XXX] 6 7

I bought the EA6500 yesterday, to replace my E3200.Formerly, with the E3200, I was able to block applications on the router admin page, without blocking all internet access, under the "Access Restrictions" Tab. I could create access policies that allowed internet access to specific devices, while blocking port ranges/protocols for specific applicatons. while this didn't work for Skype, which jumps from one port to the other until it finds an open one, it worked perfectly for World of Warcraft. the primary target of my restrictions.in common with the old setup for the E3200, the new cloud login allows me to block internet access completely to a device. it also allows me to block websites to my heart's content, an improvement upon the old system, which stopped at four. but to my great surprise, it will not allow me to specify port blockages for specific apps for specific devices., while the new EA6500 is blessed with the added capability of actually recognizing applications by name, *it is only to give them greater priority*. the Media Prioritization tab lets you give a ton of your bandwith to specific apps, but won't let you throttle or block them. Is there some way to work around this? Some alternative firmware? again, I don't want/need to block all internet access to a particular computer. I only need to block some apps (World of Warcraft, and Skype, possibly some torrents) by closing some ports.

I cannot connect via VPN PPTP (normal setup in windows xp), I have managed to connect over VPN direct connected to internet, through the router (WRVS4400n) if I turn off the firewall. But I cannot connect with the firewall enabled,One more thing, the device is on and I have enabled the passthrough (and 'Multicast Passthrough' in firewall basic settings) for all available options where one of the options is PPTP.

My router,EA4500 is blocking just one I.P address,(a game server), and I am unable to connect to the server. I have tried this on 2 different computers, reinstalled the Cisco Connect software, reset to factory defaults and it is still blocking me from getting on this server. When I by pass the router and plug directly into my modem the Server shows up fine and I am able to get on but when I put the Router back it blocks it and does not show up at all.

I am getting 404 messages but the browser is connecting to the site's server (you can see the little icon for each site in the tabs). The two sites I have identified that I cannot access are UIowa libraries and Music from Outer Space.
-I have emptied all cache, cookies, etc.
-I have reset the router to factory defaults and updated the firmware
-I can load both sites from other networks, however two different computers using my router fail to load these two sites.Until a couple days ago I was able to access both of these sites regularly, and I haven't installed anything or changed any settings on my computer.The fact that two different computers cannot load these sites seems to indicate that it is a router problem.

I previously entered in settings for the "Static DNS" 1 through 3 (using ip addresses from OpenDNS and one from Google DNS).
I want to remove these so the router reverts to using the DNS allocated to it by the ADSL modem (which will likely be the IP of the modem, which then forwards the requests to the DNS from the ISP).But I can't clear the Static DNS settings. I have to put in 0.0.0.0 but the last zero is not accessed. I get the error: The value is out of range [1 - 254].So I end up with 0.0.0.1 and then all Internet access is lost on the computers because they are being given a bad DNS IP.
How can I reset the static DNS ip address back to 0.0.0.0 ?

I've been using my WRT310Nv2 Cisco wireless Gigabit N router for 2 weeks now, and sometimes, it's blocking access to Facebook.comI am not aware if it does the same thing with other websites, but my guess is that if I fix this one, I'll fix them all. So here I go, I click on my Facebook icon in my bookmarks and all goes well. Then, a while after, Facebook doesn't respond anymore and I'm send to a page that says "this is probably not the webpage you are looking for!" and it goes on about someone probably trying to hack my Internet and so on. But it's impossible: my network is under a solid WPA/WPA 2 security access. So I try again and click on the FB icon, and it shows me this:
"Invalid URL
The requested URL "/", is invalid.

I am trying to set up an access policy on my WRT400N. Whenever an access policy is enabled, all internet acess is completely blocked. This occurs irregardless of what the access policy is supposed to block. Even a blank access policy that allows access to everything and doesn't have any computers registered still blocks everything. How do I get it to stop completely blocking internet access?
