Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200 / Lion And Time Machine Backup?
Dec 21, 2011
Since lion is there for a while, it is still not possible to make a time machine backup on an USB hdd that's connected to the router. is Cisco coming with an firmware update?
Apparently the setup cd does not work with Mac OS Lion. Anyone else out there is using this router on a Mac running Lion...if so, how did you set up the router.
I just purchased a new E4200 router. When I try to set it up, , it says that my software (Lion v. 10.7.2) is unsupported. Is there a download that will allow me to use this router?

Just got an EA6500 - updated to the latest available firmware.I've attached 2 x WD NAS and 1 x WD via USB to the unit.Everytime AFTER I finished running Time Machine on the MacBookPro (writing to one of the WD NAS), I can no longer login to the router neither from the local IP address nor the cisco cloud connect. The error message that I get (loosely phrased) is: can't connect to Router. Please ensure the router is connected to the internet.
How to set up a time machine MacBook Air (Mac OS X 10.7.4) on EA4500 (2.0.37) with the disk WD MyBook USB 2TbThe disk is divided into two sections 500 and 1500, 500 by the time machine.After the command (defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1) time machine saw the network drives, but can not be backed up (not supported AFP)
On the Linksys E4200, the Internet wired connection side, I gave static IP address which is in the same network range as that of LAP2.When tried to ping from LAP1 to LAP2, ping doesnot happen. Any settings by which I can ping from LAP1 to LAP2.
I have the e4200 and I am having trouble getting DHCP reservation to work properly with my Windows 7 machines. Perhaps there is a step that I am missing. Basically I go to the DHCP reservation setup page, select my machine and add it to the reservation table. Then I save the changes. As soon as I do this my computer goes offline. If I reboot my machine, it is still offline. I've tried the same procedure to reserve the IP address for my phone and it works fine so I wonder if the problem is with Win7.
I have a 1.5 TB USB hard drive attached to me E4200. Configuring it so that multiple computers have access and can read and write their files is quite simple. I've followed the instructions and had no difficulty.
My problem is this, after about a week's time has passed any file that has been on the hard drive for more than a week become undeletable. Any attempt to modify it or remove it pops up a message saying I need permission from a specific user (always the user that I am currently logged in as!) to perform the operation on the file.
When this starts to happen, the device is, otherwise, perfectly functional. I will still be able to create new files and delete any newly created files from the drive without difficulty even when those files are in the same directory as the files that the device will no longer let me edit. Examination of the file properties dialog shows that the files that the device refuses to allow me to delete are identical in every way to any new file that I create. Yet newly created files are removable but these older files ... are not.
I'm quickly coming to the conclusion that the HDD mounting feature of the device just doesn't actually work as advertised.
FWIW: all my computers are using Windows 7 with the latest build. I do access the device from these computers wirelessly.
why Windows Backup in Windows 7 pro 64 would not backup over the network to a drive I have connected to the 4200s USB port? Everytime I run it I get a Access Denied error at the end, even though data has been transfered. After about 5 hours of searching both here and Microsoft's website, I just get lots of people with the same issue that hasnt been resolved anywhere consistantly.
I bought a e4200 router about 3 weeks ago and after a power outage it decided it didnt like being connected to the internet anymore. So i got on the phone with cisco they determined the router was no good, mind you my laptop would connect wired. So they sent me a "refurbished" one, so i set it up. The new setup was wonky because it said the same message "Your connected to your router but..." then after trying to get the connection its self and failing it came up with "congratulations you are now connected to the internet". That lasted 3hrs and 45mins then died, so i went upstairs to power cycle it, it decided to connect with the old settings. That lased 25mins then died, so i reset it and reconfigured the router. Wouldnt connect, i checked my mac address and it was using my wireless one and kept turning on my wireless connection durring the install. So i cloned my wired mac address and got the internet for roughly an hour... then it died. So i reset it again and kept the wifi off got it going and decided to go to sleep. I wake up and its still working after 8hrs, i go down stairs with my tablet and i dies again. This time it refuses to reconnect, refuses to reset back up just doesnt want to work.
I have the e4200, well, I have had 2 e4200s and they both have had the same issue.I set up my e4200 manually with wpa2 security and I was getting about -50db rssi at my recieving device. Everything tested/worked fine and I went on with life.Without moving the router or anything else over the course of about 3 days the signal had dropped to -71dbm. I power cycled the router and it went back to -53dbm. I tried multiple channels and the same thing keeps happening.The same thing happened a few more times, I contacted tech support, but they just had me change channels.I took the router back for an exchange and the new one has done the same thing in LESS time!The router has the latest firmware and I keep it on an elevated plastic stand to prevent overheating.
I've just confirmed that everytime I try to stream music from my MacBook Pro (iTunes) that is connected to my WiFi network using the 5GHz mode (channel width is Auto, channel: Auto (DFS)) to a couple Airport Express cubes are connected via the 2.4 GHz WiFi (channel width: Auto, channel: 10) the E4200 router reboots. When I set the MBP to use the 2.4 GHz mode I can stream music without causing the E4200 to reboot. The E4200 is running firmware 1.0.03.
My E4200 is rebooting every time it sees traffic on any port, including the internet port. It does not reboot itself if there is nothing plugged in.
Already tried: soft reset (power off for 30 seconds), soft reboot via back panel button, hard reset (press reset for 30, unplug and hold reset for 30, plug in while holding reset for 30).
I 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.
I just installed my new E4200, and am setting the Access Restrictions. Is there anyway to block the popup window that displays every time I enter the form or save the settings?
I'm using IE9 and have tried adjusting the Popup Blocker, but to no avail.
The USB storage drive is not found when I attempt to map the drive on my Mac Mini Lion OS, it is not found. My question is, does the wrt160nl storage feature work with Mac OS? I have upgraded firmware to 1.0.0.3 and latest version of Lion
I've just bought an E2000 and I Cisco Connect doesn't run on OSX-Lion, and I was unable to find it on support downloads. But this is only a comment, my concern is that I'm not able to see on main menu how many DHCP clients are connected nor of course to check their traffic. Other routers usually provide at least DHCP clients
As an example, I have 3 computers on a home network:
Machine A Machine B Machine C
What I would like to do is isolate "Machine C", so that it cannot communicate with "A" or "B" and vice versa. It should be an entirely separate entity.
Let's say I'm using a Linksys E4200. Is there a good way to configure the above scenario with the default firmware? Is it possible with non-default firmware such as DD-WRT or Tomato? I do not have experience with this but have no problem learning.
My understanding is that this can be done by placing "Machine C" in the DMZ. Unfortunately, I am told a lot of home routers do not have a secure way of setting up DMZ by default. The two routers solution can work but still requires restricting administrative access from "Machine C" and adds an additional potential point of failure.
The latest Mountain Lion (OSX 10.8) update somehow broke the Cisco VUSB software. I downloaded and installed Mountain Lion yesterday, and now the VUSB software is not working correctly. When I try to connect to my printer, an error appears saying the connection failed, but the dashboard shows it's connected. When I try to print, the printer is shown as unavailable. I have Cisco VUSB version 1.0.0 for OSX and the EA3500 Router.
I have WRT54G2 router. All settings are more-less default and the behavior is following.You start up the router. If you do not connect wireless device within 10 minutes, then you have to restart the router.You have assigned IP via wifi, and when you connect cable device to the router, the wifi PCs are disconnected.
I have a Linksys WRT54G router; have a cable internet connection through the router; and two wired desktops, one running Vista (32-bit) and the other XP. I would like to replace the XP machine with a wired desktop running Windows 7 (64-bit).
I have a E1550 with a corrupt config that is acting very wonky lately (shows wrong info in some of the settings and doesn't always save changes). Since it may be the config that is at issue, I don't want to do a backup/resote, rather I plan to do a full factory reset and manully type everything back in.What would be nice is, creating a text based, human readable printout of the config for reference so that I don't have to manually type it all twice (once to save it, once for reentry). PS3 ports, MAC filters, etc. have several entries, and they way the pages are designed it doesn't allow for easy, whole entry, cut and paste.
I have a WRT54GL v1.1 that has firmware version 4.30.14 build 5 installed(according to the device). The latest version listed on your website is 4.30.13. What does this mean? How do I get a backup of my current version?The device seems to be working fine and the manual I downloaded seems to cover it. I'm on a Mac so I have to set it up manually.
When i connect my Seagate Backup Plus Drive to the USB port on my EA3500 the drive becomes available on my network but it never spins down even when not in use. Is there any way to correct this? If the drive spins 24/7 its going to die very fast.
Called earlier the guy is really impatient and just wanted my credit card detail to install some remote software for technicians to fix from their end. Ethernet connection is fine1. wireless with iphone and ipad is conected with correct password and strong signal. But 99% of the time there is not connection while signal is still strong.2. wireless connection with another laptop using Cisco Network USB adapter WUSB100. After wireless work detected and enter the same security key as ipad used. Could not work.
i recently bought an E1200 to replace my old Linksys router that died. I set it up smoothly and i can connect any device to it easily. But i have one major problem with it, it always disconnects every time at 1am or something. I usually leave my PC to sleep mode and when i wake up i just take it off sleep mode, now i had this router for about 4 days and every morning when i turn the PC on the internet connection is gone/disconneted. I cant repair it from the Network Sharing Center, i need to restart it THEN repair it and it always says that the Local Area Connection is disabled even though i didnt even touch any of it. I tried putting it in sleep mode in the morning and then turning it on again but the internet is still connected, it just happens when i go to sleep at night, really weird.
We have a RV042. We have a Debian server on the network.I have activated Enable Syslog on the router and pointed to the Debian Server IP.Where are the logs for the Router saved on the machine?
I have a brand-new WRT160N router (just installed FW v3.0.02) that I am using in mixed mode, 20MHz only, Channel 11, not filtering anonymous requests, beacon at 2306, RTS at 2307, fragmentation at 2346, MTU at 1400.
These settings bring the response from a simple ping command over the wireless network down to approximately 6ms on average, which is good. However, when I still noticed inconsistency with my internet response over wireless, I decided to do a test.
By simply running the "ping" command on 192.168.1.1 (the router address) over the wireless network repeatedly (approx 3 seconds between commands), I can see that approximately every 65 seconds or so, router response time increases to over 100ms for a few seconds, then decreases down to 6 ms or so for another 65-70 seconds. See the chart below. The interval looks pretty consistent to me, with the exception of one stretch where it goes for over two minutes without a spike. I see this pattern regardless of what else I'm doing over the network. I do not see this behavior running the same test when physically wired to the router (ping response time is a flat line at 0ms).
I keep trying to set access restrictions for my wrt54g router for time. There is no 12 for time so I'm selecting 11:55 pm to 6am but I keep getting an error message of, "end time must be bigger then begin time." I get this no matter if I select 9pm, 10pm, etc.
