How do you format the drive for this with the routers web based utility? Or do you just do this while its plugged into your PC then connect it to the router. I know how to format the drive with the web based utility using the FAT system but its limited to 4gb files.

I don't get though, i installed the wireless router just after i change admin and my password into (******).

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to access the browser based utility (@ http://192.168.1.1) on my router and having no luck. I've tried from two different computers (each Win 7) and each browser. I've tried wired directly to the blue/LAN ports and through Wifi. I've confimred that the IP is correct (or is at least the default gateway for each machine). The Cisco Connect tool can't find the router either.the only thing that can find the router is the CiscoConnect Express app on my iPhone.Internet is working fineish (some problems with Wifi), I just want to play with some settings.

Everything is setup, the ps3 can see twonky, and has access to the external HD connected to the E4200, but upon choosing any type of mkv all i get is unrecognized format.... Avi's and mp3's all seem to be okay, as does iso's. Only I thought I read somewhere that it supports streaming HD material. p.s. the E4200 came with the latest .13 firmware. although I didn't put it on there, as I picked it up cheaply as it was a returned unit to the store.as this is supposed to be an upgrade from a wrt54gr that was used with ps3mediaserver, but struggled with 1080p's.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am running my home network and WAP(WPA2) behind a d-link gaming router (DHCP) with no inbound or outbound restrictions; however, I am unable to access the internet using my ipad unless I put the WAP in the DMZ. Also, if I configure security using the setup program, I can not log on to the web based utility. I have to disable security with the set up program and then log into the utility. BTW..the UID must be left blank to log into the utility( PW only) to configure the WAP, even though the manual says otherwise.
Now after all this, the WAP will be up and running for days even a few weeks. Then for no reason it will no longer be accessible and I will power it down and back up and it works fine. But this will work only a few times and I have to hit the reset button and reconfigure it all over again.
The firmware has been updated and nothing else has issues on the network. This has been happening since i bought it 3yrs ago, using an iPad, iPhone, Laptops, and PCs( XP and Windows 7) but in the past year it has been more frequent.
I just purchased an E4200, primarily to connect my Free Agent drive to for network access. The router has V. 2.0.36 installed, drive is fully shared, but I am unable to see the drive when I attempt to map it on any of my XP laptops. When I perform discovery, it finds the router, but is unable to see the drive.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently bought a e4200 v2 and installed connect cloud. I have attached a USB drive to the router. I can connect to it by mapping a network drive on my windows 7 laptop. I can also access it as a media server through my iPad on the local wifi network. This way I can play the music on the USB drive through the iPad. The next thing I would like to accomplish is to be able to listen to the music on the USB drive through the internet (so remotely).

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have E4200 v1 with 1.0.3 firmware and an old 2.5"/120GB hard drive. Today I discovered that all my data where lost. They were there not longer than a couple of days ago. I'm almost sure it's not my fault and the drive is healty. I'm now moving back datas onto it and I will check for them daily.
1) I had no power loss;
2) I didn't reboot nor I didn't switch it off/on;
3) I didn't copied files since days;
4) The last time I used it I just browsed files;
5) It's not exposed to the internet but just to local network;
6) The router hasn't logged admin logon other than from my computers.
I moved to Comcast internet yesterday (from 3Mbps DSL), and the E4200 seems to be working well (although somewhere along the way it decided to delete all the files on the NAS drive...an issue for another day). On my laptops and wired PCs I'm now seeing 15-20Mbps down, and 4Mbps up. However, when I connect with my iPhone 3GS, I only see about 7.5Mbps down, and 4Mbps up using online speedtests. I have tried messing with the router settings and resetting all the network settings on the iPhone but nothing changes. I know my iPhone can handle more, because I get 15Mbps down when I visit family (they have a Netgear N300). I can only conclude that my E4200 is the cause.
View 6 Replies View RelatedIf Anonymous Disk Access is selected, read-only files cannot be deleted; nor can the file attributes be changed. This is true even if one attempts to connect as an administrator. Unchecking Anonymous Disk Access and logging on as an administrator fixed this problem for me, but I'd think there are 2 issues.
1. Anonymous Disk Access should allow deletion of ANY files. I would expect this to be a "wide open" setting.
2. If Anonymous Disk Access is selected, a valid login should take precedence.
I have an E4200 with a 500GB WD hard drive attached to the USB port. I also have 3 computers on the network named "THINK", "PC", and "DELL". THINK is mixed Wired and Wireless - depending on what I'm doing - Win7 Professional, DELL is plugged into a Range Extender. (RE1000) - WinXP (This one isn't as important: It's an older machine) PC is always hardwired. - Win7 Ultimate, Recently, THINK has unable to see DELL, OR even the HD connected to the router, but it can see PC. It can also see the HD as a media device - just not as a computer or device I can browse as it does on PC.However, PC can see everything: THINK, DELL, AND the HD and can access them all the way I would like it to be. Also - MY PS3 DOES see the Media Share and can access it. Edit: Also just discovered both internal and external FTP no long works. Why can't THINK see the HD connected to the router regardless if I'm wired or wireless? As far as I can tell, all the settings are identical on both THINK and PC. Is there a router setting I'm missing? IPV6 is disabled and I've treid the basic disabling of HOMEGROUP and anything that goes with it - but nothing yet.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have realized that E4200 V1 I have, with 1.03 firmware, seems to be dying when I reboot it and it tries to load the USB HD I have connected to it. By die I mean the web server does not work anymore (http://192.168.1.1), and new computers can't connect to the router. I suspect it is due to the amount of files I have in the External Disk Drive -I used to have Media Server enabled, but I disabled it because this problem was happening, and I only left File Server enabled. Now since I moved many of my pictures to it, it seems even File Server is causing problems, and if neither one work for me, then this router does not justify its money, since that was the only reason I bought this E4200 hardware. These problems are solved in V2? Since it is still under warranty, I could try to exchange my V1 for a V2 version.

View 6 Replies View RelatedMy E4200 works beautifully, and was working fine with the Toshiba 500 GB portable drive that I had on it for a week or so. I tried to plug in my WD MyBook Essential (Passed on the list of compatible drives), but the router is not detecting it. Further, when the drive is plugged in, the router stops receiving new wireless connections. Even if I reboot a laptop that was previously connected, it says that that the passkey is incorrect. When the drive is plugged in, I can't even log in to the 192.168.1.1 - it's as if the router creates a firewall around it and refuses every new connection on every port.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just bought a Linksys E4200 from bestbuy tonight, mostly for the feature of plugging my hard drive into it to use it as a media server, and being able to read & write to it from any computer on my network. I have searched for hours on end trying to fix my problem. I login to my router (at 192.168.1.1), I go to the storage tab, I then click the "Create Share" button next to my WD hard drive in the list and nothing happens. Ive tried this on four different computers, and three different browsers now to no avail.

I just updated Cisco software and my external hard drive is no longer recognized by Cisco. It is a Seagate drive that is listed on the Cisco tested - passed - approved list.

I have the e4200 v2. I had a hard drive attached to the router. When I try to add files to folders on the drive, sometimes I can add files and sometimes I can't. It is a folder by folder basis. I can't seem to change any security setting that will let me add files to certain folders on the drive attached to the e4200 v2.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a E4200 router, and I had previously plugged in a small external hard drive just to test the functionality. The router seemed to recognize the storage, and the computers on the network could see it as a shared drive. Now I have plugged in a Seagate 7200 internal hard drive inside a Rocketfish enclosure, but the router is not recognizing anything. I just upgraded the firmware to 1.0.04, but there was no change. Are there problems using an enclosure rather than just plugging in an external hard drive?

As of yesterday, this all stopped working. The router does not see the drive; it is as though it is not plugged in.
I rebooted the router and it still does not work. I've connected the hard drive directly to my PC to verify that it works there, and it does. The router is running Ver.1.0.03 (Build 14) of firmware (the latest).

Just got my new TP-Link device and intend to use it in client mode for my new audio receiver to connect to my home network.Trying to configure the device, and I cannot even access the online utility. I tried using the following address:
192.168.0.254
192.168.1.1
None of these seem to work. Tried on Chrome, then Internet Explorer and made sure that the web browser was not set to proxy (it was not set to this in the first place). The address just doesn't seem to connect, and I get a "This page cannot be displayed" note, as if I'm reaching a bad address.
I have a 1 TB external drive plugged into my WRT610 and want to access the drive from both Mac and PC. I recently upgraded the Mac to Lion and they no longer enable Time Machine to back-up to a network attached drive (Ugh!). I thought a simple work around would be to clone the drive, but the FAT file format does not allow a file size greater than 4 GB. So I seem stuck.Can the router be configured to enable exFat file format for storage? I have the back-up drive in an obsecure location (this is why I want to access the drive over the network) and would hate to relocate the drive to a more visible location.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have tried multiple times to hard reset my Wireless G WRT54G ver.2 router, but have had no success. I held the reset for 15 sec, 30 sec, 2 min, etc and also tried holding it and then unplugging it and then plugging it back in. I've tried everything that I have seen suggested. My problem is that I don't know what the password is to access my router's web utility thing and I need to change the IP address. With every reset attempt, I hope that the default admin password will work, but sadly no.
