Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200 What Are Best Settings For Each Of 5 And 2.4 Bands
Jul 25, 2011
I just picked up a E4200 last nite and installed it and everything seems to be connecting ok, but I'm just not sure I have the optimal settings. This is my first dual band router.I have a mixture of G and N devices on the network - notebooks, desktop, phones, Wii. etc.What are the best settings for each of the 5 and 2.4 bands? I have read that you want to have the same SSID and encryption keys, so clients can go from one or the other seamlessly. It's mostly the Basic Wireless Settings that I want to get straight. Right now everything is on Mixed and Auto, and I'm not sure that's entirely correct.
Also, does anyone have any recommendations for a PCI and USB wireless adapter that works well with this router and provides the best range and throughput? I have both a laptop and desktop in a detached building with no physical cables. I want to ensure these have the best connection possible.

When I have both 2,4 and 5,0 GHz band enabled on the E4200 router my PC (WMP600N-PCI adapter) has max. 130Mbps.When I enable only the 5,0 GHz band it has a speed of 270Mbps.The same speed issue with my Dell laptop.Router and PCI adapter are new (3 days old) and both have the latest firmware.Both PC and laptop are running on W7.how to increase the speed with both bands enabled?

I want the usual proccess whenever i go to 192.168.1.1 it will ask me to input my admin and password to change my router settings..

Manually type http://192.168.1.1/Wireless_Advanced.asp and the Advanced Wireless Settings tab appears! (I found this info in dd-wrt forum). A lot more settings to play with here, including transmission power for both 5GHz and 2.4GHz.

Can I do this with a E4200? I want to do this for gaming reasons, and I mainly want to slow my speed down. I currently have my console hard wired to the router. I have accessed the firmware for the router but don't see how to change speeds.

I just purchased an e4200 in a corporate environment where we already have a wireless router. I am not able to connect the 2 devices via a LAN cable and am wondering if I can get bridge mode working over the network (wireless). I set the Linksys to bridge mode and assigned it an ip address. I disabled all wireless settings, etc. I then connected the internet port of the Linksys into a data port (wall jack) that connects to our flat network switch. It says it's connected under "Status" but I'm not sure how to confirm this.

No matter what I do, whenever I enter the Web Interface for my E4200, the page comes up in Russian (at least I think it is russian!!)! I have changed the language to English (by trial and error discovered it was the first option at the top of the pull-down list) many times and yes, selected save at the bottom of the Setup page. I get the message back "Your settings have been successfully saved".But next time I go in, it is back to either Russian or sometimes some other wierd script, and I have to reselect English.

I have an e4200 with the latest firmware 2.1.39. I just upgraded the firmware due to connection issues with my DSL. I now have the same issues with disconnects but I believe they are being caused by a different issue. When I try and log into my router through the IP address it wont let me, it says it can't find the router. Eventually after getting in the first time by using the default password, I have twice found out that all my settings are gone. This has happened twice this week and only happened after upgrading the firmware but I can not tell if firmware is causing it or if it is hardware related. I now reboot and restore saved firmware but that is a hassle and am pretty sure that is not the way it was designed to work.

I am interested to know if there is anywhere (even in the code) where i can play with the guest network settings?
*. ability to change the default webpage login for guest network
*. Ability to set a lease time for guest network
*. Ability to use special characters in the password (@!$%)
is it even possible or an open source firmware is the way to go?

I have te E4200. When I backed up and restored my media server settings were not there as well as ftp, I found this out upgrading to 1.0.02 that turned out to be a huge waste of time anyways.

I have a WRT320N, firmware version 1.0.05., Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, and a Hewlett Packard laptop.I would like to utilize both bands on my router at the same time for internet access, so that I can have the one my kids use shut down at a certain time but mine stay up.If not, what's the closest I can get, even if I have to purchase additional items to do so? Do I have to manually turn their band off when I want it off? And can I even have both bands in use at the same time?
I looked at my Cisco online info by access the IP address. I see the Access Restrictions tab. Can I even set usage by specific computer? If so how do I do that?

I have just installed the Cisco E2500 router and setup my wireless network.I bought the router hoping it would give me a stronger signal than my old Linksys G 2.4Ghz.Using inSSider I can see my router and unfortunately it looks like both the 2.4Ghz and the 5Ghz are both operating at the same time. . The signal stregth under RSSI is -60 for the 5Ghz and -57 for the 2.4Ghz.Do I need to switch one of these bands off or what do I do to get a stronger signal?....my old Linksys router was at -50.Where does one switch off a band anyway?

I have E4200 with fixed ip 192.168.1.2, DHCP off connected through LAN ports to FIOS ActionTec as 192.168.1.1. When connecting through wireless network off the E4200, I can obtain and connect fine under Guest network and WEP security, but for any other security setting, WPA, WPA2, Mixed mode, etc. I get the message "Aquiring network address" forever, and I never get a connection.

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.

Hardware Version : V1
Firmware Version : Build 121225 Rel.37950n
I have low signal range from this WDR4300 router on both bands and especially on 5Ghz i lose my connectivity on just few meters away from the router and on other rooms in my 80m2 apartment, i also own another tp link 740n with only one antenna and the range is better with it almost covers all my apartment. Router has been reset after being updated to latest firmware and tried different configurations but im not satisfied with the signal range. Is there something i can do.

We typically use the 2602 series AP in lightweight mode, however I have a scenario where we are going to be installing one with the stand-alone software. I understand that we will not be able to utilze certain features that you get with the WLC such as RRM, rogue detection, and clean air.
We do want to utilze both the 2.4GHZ and 5GHZ bands. In order to do this with the 2602 stand-alone AP, will we have to configure 2 separate SSID's? I really do not want to do this to if I do not have to to minimize confusion for clients.

I found a few older forum posts and documents online discussing how to create multiple SSIDs on 1 1252 AP using the WLC and they state that VLANs are needed for the interface and then I've read that multiple SSIDs on 1 interface are also possible. I'm not sure on how to actually configure this. I would like my 2.4Ghz radio on the 1252 to be associated with the current SSID in production and the 5Ghz band associated with another SSID that's in production. I couldn't find an option in the WLC or anything stated in the documents I've read about how to associate the radio band with the SSID.

A few months ago I purchased an e2500 Cisco Linksys router to use in my home. This past Christmas, my family got about 4 new wifi devices which they added to the network bringing the total number of devices on my home network to 10. I wanted to know if there are any advanced settings in Cisco Connect that I can tweak to make my wifi speeds faster because right now I'm getting about 55 Mbps on most of my devices. I was also wondering what the typical range of the e2500 router was and if the e4200 offers a large improvement.

I'll be installing a cable modem in the next few days and would like to connect my WRT310N to it. I was wondering what would be the best settings to use.
Main uses:
- Distance from WRT310N to other devices is around 8 meters, separated by 1 concrete wall
- Stream music/video from PC to iPad and another laptop wirelessly.
- Transfer files between devices

I even just reset to factory and loaded the 1.0.4 firmware but still persists.In the DNS setting, the wireless router adds itself as one of the DNS servers, and I can't figure out why it would do that. My DNS should come from my comcast router and not the e3200 wireless device.
Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection 2:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : hsd1.wa.comcast.net.
Description . . . . . . . . . . . : TP-LINK Wireless USB Adapter
Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : B0-48-7A-xx-xx-xx

I'm just trying to port forward with this router, and after I'm done entering all my settings, I click save settings, it tells me settings are successful.
But the it goes back to the port forwarding page and all the stuff is at default again as if I didn't make any changes. What the hell is this?
I'm sure it's just a little something I don't know about that's making it not save any changes to port forwarding.

I installed an IP camera, and had to change my E1000 router settings to a static IP address. Now I can't access the router settings. 192.168.1.1 is still the default gateway, but it won't open in any browser.
I'm reluctant to do a reset because it took me quite a while to figure out how to get the IP camera and port forwarding working (it does!), and I'd hate to do it all again and come to the same place. I'm not very good at this stuff, and it's a small miracle that I did it once.

I've been trying to re-purpose my E4200v1 as a Bridge, AP or some other thing that might work with wifi coverage in my home. I am using an Asus as the primary router. and I have Verizon Fios so I have a coax/ethernet router with its wireless switched off so that the Asus is primary. That works, but when I go to reset the E4200v1, I can get it to take a new IP address, but when I attempt to put it into bridge mode, as soon as I hit "save settings" I see the admin screen flash and it goes back to its origninal settings, instead of saving the new settings.
