Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200 - Reset To Factory Defaults / Enable IPV6 Auto
Aug 10, 2011
I flashed the firmware and the ipv6 automatic is on disabled and I cannot set it to enabled.the 6rd tunnel option I can change but that has not effect- in fact from what I looked up it seems to be something used by some cable providers.hate to have to reset the router to factory defaults and then reset the network up - just to see if i can get the option to set IPV6 auto to enabled.
We've lost our WRT120N's administrator password and are trying to reset it to factory defaults.One peculiar thing that we have noticed is that the router has an IP of 192.168.106.1 rather than the default of 192.168.1.1 (this is verified by the default gateway, as well as a login prompt when 192.168.106.1 is put into a browser).Things we've tried to do to reset the router:
1) Press and hold the reset button at the back of the router for 30 seconds
2) Press and hold the reset button at the back of the router for 60 seconds
Interestingly, doing either of these things seemed to have no effect on the status lights.
Due to password loss, I get to reset the E4200 to factory default in order for router re-config.After pressing the reset buttom for 10sec, the router reset. After then, I could not access the router via browser with 192.168.1.1 at URL entry. My PC IPv4 setup: 192.168.1.11; subnet=255.255.255.0.But, ping 192.168.1.1 from PC was OK without packet loss. So router was restored with 192.168.1.1 and cable connection was OK.
I successfully pulled it out of the box and already broke it.
What I did to lose my connectivity to it (via IP, console is OK), but I'd like to start from scratch and during my learning/experimentation I will undoubtedly need to do this over and over until I get things right.
I've found various guides, none of which look like what I am after. Basically, I want to return this to the condition that it was in when it came out of the box. IOS is version 12.4(6)T11 .
The IP address is unknown and we need to reset the switch. SInce we can't access the configuration menus. I was wondering if we could reset this device to factory defaults another way. I couldnt locate a reset switch.
I have a cisco 800 that needs to be reset back to factory defaults. I tried typing in "config factory-default 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0" at the conf t prompt, but I got an error Invaild input detected at ^ (the ^ is just under the word factory). So after a bit of reserch I came across this command "write erase" that seemed to do something but now I can't get any ip addreses. Here is the running config:
Using 1104 out of 131072 bytes ! version 12.4 service config
I reset my Cisco 2911 ISR to the factory defaults. I then used the configuration guide to do the initial set-up through the CLI. I was able to assign IPs to the GE0/0 and GE0/1 ports. Now I cannot access the GUI device manager at all. I was able to ping the IP of GE0/0 so I know the adapter took the IP assignment, but still no GUI access.
I am trying to setup a new LG dp200 blue ray player to my home network and cannot get it to connect, but i can use my phone on it and my xbox. Ive reset the modem and reset the player back to factory defaults after a few failed attempts.
I've been using Linksys for years but the last two routers I have purchased have been very problematic.
- My router hasn't had this problem before. The other day I was downloading 4 games at a time from STEAM, when I got home from work I found that my router had completely gone back to factory settings. So I configured my DSL PPPoE, SSID, Wireless Security (WPA) changed the default admin PW and about 20 minutes later it was back to factory again.
I've done a "hard" reset and reconfigured and still it resets itself. What's also upsetting is this completely opens my network up to ANYONE when this happens...
So far in the past 2 days I have (now using a backup restore file) re-configured the device 10 times.
The only thing I can think of is that I just got Windows 7 the same day this started happening. I thought it could be STEAM as well so right now I have STEAM closed to see if it resets while it isn't running.
Could TOO much demand on the router cause it to completely reset itself to factory config?? Seems to me like there's a huge firmware or hardware problem here.
I have other friends and even co-workers that also have problems galore with their Linksys products...No other router it seems has as MANY issues as Linksys. Hat to say it but my next purchase most likely will not be another one of their products. This just shouldn't be happening.
today I got up and discovered that my WRT160Nv3 router has resetted to factory defaults itself, the name of the Wifi network was "linksys" and all configurations were the defaults...
Im trying to access the switch to reset the password to factory defaults (please see switch output Astrix has removed customer identifying information for security purposes.) Each time I reboot the switch and try and access the password recover mode this same output below starts and im still not able to access the recovery area of the switch

I just upgraded to a E3000 from a WRT54G and I am having some issues with network speed.I have no special settings and have even tried restoring factory defaults and upgrading to the latest firmware to no avail.The time I notice the biggest hit is when transferring files locally on the network (WiFi and LAN).Let me note that I do know the difference between MB/s & Mb/s and the like.I have Comcast 20Mb/s Down, 1.5Mb/s Up (just a FYI, the main issue is local transfers)
With default settings my Laptop (ASUS N82JQ, Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter), connects to the router at only 65Mb/s (with full signal).Upload seems to be more decent ~600KB/s (Transferring files from wireless n laptop to the gigabit desktop).Download seems to be limited to ~150KB/s (Copying files from the wired gigabit desktop to the wireless n laptop).These speeds are horrible! ~5hrs to transfer 3GB of data!
One of my laptops had a card that was capable of both 2.4 & 5Ghz and I was previously getting ~2000-5000KB/s (2-5MB/s) transfers with this router (But I had to do a system restore on it and reset the router). My ASUS laptop seems to only work with 2.4Ghz though. If I change the 2.4Gh Wireless settings on the router to "Auto(20MHz or 40MHz)" the laptop will connect at 150Mb/s, but the speeds are the same slow speeds as above.
I'm having a very difficult time getting my WRT54GS to work with my Westell 6100 modem. I've been bouncing around gathering info, and what I've learned is that the goofy way CenturyLink tech support told me to hook up my old wired router (modem line into outgoing (LAN) router port) is because the Westell 6100 is a "smart modem/router". Therefore, when I run the Linksys setup CD, it sees the modem as a router, and won't properly configure. I've also learned that the Westell modem can be "dumbed down" into simply a modem by putting it into "bridge mode", which is where I'm at right now - trying to get it reset to factory defaults and resetting the connection type from PPPoE to Bridge. In the meantime, I also reset the WRT54GS to factory defaults, and now I've got another problem: the router will not allow me to set up encryption. The default setting is "Disabled", and when I click the down arrow and try to make any selection at all (preferred selection is WPA2 Personal), it reverts to Disabled. I've also tried to change the router's IP address to 192.168.2.1 (and alternately to 192.168.1.253), so it won't conflict with the modem's IP, and it freezes up every time I try.
I was trying to do a password recovery on a 1142 AP but enable password did not reset and I am stuck
AP model is AIR-AP1142N-A-K9 Running IOS c1140-k9w7-mx.124-21a.JA1
Its autonomous so there is no controller. I renamed the config.txt file I am unable to rename or delete the private-config file. I get the message that file or directory cannot be found when i try to rename and permission denied when I try to delete it.
i have a wrt54gl version1.1 ok so let me start from the beginning.a few months ago i left the contry so a friend of mine asked me to lent him my router. a few day`s ago i got back and got my router back. it was working fine until i got it back. the rest button won`t work. i can`t reset the router to factory default. the user name was blank and the password was admin.now it won`t let my to do that.
Iused my installation cd to re-setup my linksys. I moved and used a laptop previously. Now i am at a house that has a desktop. I want to keep the desktop wired and make my laptop wired. So, when i went to re-install it said i had to reset my linksys to factory settings.
My router wasn't giving out proper ip addresses so I went through the steps to reset the router to factory defaults. After I tried to run the setup off of the cd which came with the router and the program is saying it can't find my router
Ok, so I reset the router but i still can't login to the setup using the factory password (admin/admin) (blank/admin) (admin/blank). Now I have an unencrypted network and no access to the setup... I even tried using the setup CD but it doesn't recognize the router.
My EA6500 has been working fine for the last few months but a few days ago i upgraded to the latest firmware 1.1.28.147876 - this was done by an ethernet cable, not by wifi. However i've noticed the router reverts back to the previous fw 1.1.28.146856 when the router is rebooted or factory reset. I've repeated the fw upgrade process and also done a hard reset before upgrading the firmware but no avail. Normally after firmware is 'upgraded' the router reboots and i get the message "firmware successfully installed" but then on subsequent reboots the firmware reverts back. I'm using local router access but even using smartwifi gives the same issue. When upgrading fw, i've tried both options online & manual but again makes no difference.
Don't really fancy calling Linksys support and going through 4 hrs of basic trouble shooting. Or perhaps Cisco have introduced a new automatic firmware downgrade option in their routers?
Our internet provider has no intention of providing a IPv6 DNS so I have a crippled at best service. We live in an area where our only option is through satellite service, so changing providers in not in the cards, yet.
If I "Disable" the DHCP Sever, the setup menu provides a method for me to force feed up to three Static DNS addresses, all with IPv4 addresses.
There are several locations that provide "free" DNS service, but how does one verify the security of such sites? Does Cisco keep track of the status of this kind of service or am I on my own? Cisco seems to endorse two DDNS services, but for home use, the extra charges seem otherwise unnecessary, and do not yet address the IPv6 question.
The first few that I have investigated that do provide IPv6 service also provide their addresses in IPv6 format. The E4200 menu does not seem to allow me to do that.
Am I going to be forced to live with crippled IPv6? I have already discovered a software product that has failed since changing routers, but works if I take my laptop to a particular WiFi location.
I've just bought a pair of WAP121 for testing and validation. I've set it up properly (user/password, IP, management vlan, NTP, SNMP, 802.1x, etc). So far, so good, everything worked as expected. I've downloaded the configuration to my PC, and also saved it to startup-config. I've powered off the unit, went for a coffee, and powered it back. All my settings were lost.
Tried to restore settings from the file downloaded to my PC, but no luck. After reboot, it was factory clean, no trace from settings in the backup file. I've set it up again by hand, power cycled it, and the **** thing reloaded to default settings.
Faulty unit, I thought, so I opened the other one I have, and repeated the whole thing, but same results. Test were made using the power adapter supplied but also tried with a catalyst 2960 with PoE.
When I enable IPv6 on my E4200, the Windows 7 DHCP client crashes. It also seems to crash the audio service, the event logger and a few other windows services.
i have my Cisco E4200 set up with a 6rd tunnel. the tunnel seems to work fine for the most part. i can ping ipv6.google.com and get a response.however, i cannot ping the addresses of the IPv6 Tunnel ends from within my network. If i run a ping from outside the network, i can ping the IPv6 address of the server end, however, i cannot ping the E4200's end of the tunnel. is there a specific option that needs to be set? i have allowed ping so that my IPv4 address is pingable, am i missing something for IPv6?

I got E4200 v.2 with the latest cloud firmware. On the previous (non-cloud) firmware there was an option to enable or disable SSID broadcast, and I disable it. Now I want to enable it back, but can not find this option in Cisco Connect Cloud. how to enable SSID broadcast on the E4200 v.2 with Cisco Connect Cloud firmware?
I'm part way through trying to set a Catalyst 4510R to factory defaults, One thing I'm stumped on is how do i remove the Customer Disclaimer eg what commands do i need to remove this and any other customer text within the switch, see below copy of text from the switch with customers details omitted.

I have tried to reset a Cisco 2811 to factory defaults to no avail. The system is locked, meaning it's set to go immediately to username and password before doing anything else after boot up. I cannot get to ROMMON, nor can the CTRL-B break sequence allow me the option. THere is a "no-password recovery" option that apparently is set (or unset?) but I cannot work with that.
I am a newbie with the routers, but I have tried various CTRL-B breaks from bootup, to particular times through the boot up sequence.
I do NOT have "enable" (also known as "privileged EXEC") access on the router. The router, when purchased, had a username and PW that is required to even get to the basic level 1 access. Without it the PW, I can't even get to exec mode.
I wanted to load the factory defaults for my 881W so I could get a clean start. Following this Cisco article: [URL]. I used the following commands while tel netted in via an ether net cable to one of the ether net ports: router#configure terminal router(config)#config-register 0x2102router(config)#end router#reload System configuration has been modified. Save? [yes/no]: n Proceed with reload? [confirm] .
Once I hit enter to proceed with the reload, the router power cycled. From that point forward, I never got a link light or connection via my ether net cable to the router on any of the ether net ports (0,1,2,3). I can get a link light on WAN FE4, but no DHCP ip address to telnet in. I do not have a Cisco USB console cable, which is why I've been trying this via my ether net cable. Hopefully, I didn't ***** up the router.
