Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200 Can't See Anything On Server After Connecting
Aug 23, 2011
I've been messing around with this for several weeks to no avail. I've never had a problem establishing a VPN connection within my LAN. I've tried several workarounds, learning things in the processs, but to no avail.I've set up a VPN connection with Windows 7. The RRAS server is at home and I'm attempting to access from school (or the internet anywhere).I have no problem establishing the VPN connection (that I can see). Port 1723 is forwarded for both UDP and TCP to a static LAN address (198.162.1.124) in the E4200. PPTP pass-through is enabled (as well as the other two options).I can't see anything on the server after connecting. I'm using a DDNS. It works just fine INSIDE the LAN; I've even mapped a network drive to "S:". Accessing ANYTHING outside of the LAN over a VPN, however, isn't working. [code]

I've had for several years very good experience with the WRT54GL. Based on that experience I upgraded to a e4200.But so far it's not living up to my expectations (media server not probably working with external harddisk, no advanced logging of incoming/outgoing traffic, connection problems) and I'm getting pretty frustrated with it.Problem right now is that one of my laptops with Windows 7 is often not connecting correctly to the wireless network of the e4200. It's giving a "unidentified network" error. Rebooting computer and router is not working. The computer is (always) reliable connecting to another wireless network in my home. It seems the DHCP is not working properly?

I think I have worked out that you can`t currently connect a usb printer to the usb port on the e4200 in order to share it over the network.
However I have heard reports that this might facility might be enabled in the spring.
I have also heard something about `virtual usb` but I don`t know whether this has anything to do with it.

Have a Linksys E4200 router located in my basement and I am experiencing a puzzling wired connectivity issue as follows: Port 1 on the router is for my study, I have no problem getting connection regardless if I use my study's Ethernet jack or if I run a 5 ft. cable (hereinafter THE CABLE) from the router’s port 1 to my laptop (i.e., cabling does not make a difference).I then connect to router port 1 an EZXS55W Linksys switch (using port 1 on the switch and THE CABLE) and then connect my laptop to port 2 on the switch using a second cable. I am unable to connect to the network/internet even after rebooting both the cable modem and router.I then reconnect my study to port 1 on the router, I go to my study and connect the study’s Ethernet jack using THE CABLE to port 1 on the switch and using a second cable from port 2 on the switch to my laptop. …. I get an network/internet connection immediately ! FYI, I have had the exact problem with switches EZXS88W and SE2500 (no longer own this).

I have an issue with a brand new E4200 router. My E4200 can connect no issue with the following devices: Ipad, AppleTV, Dell Laptop, Ibm Laptop. It is also wired connected to my home PC. Internet works fine and file sharing/network works good for all the above devices.
The problem is that My wife and I's Phone can not detect the wifi network and can not connect to it. The SSID broadcast is enabled on both frequencies (2.4 and 5). I have try configuring the network manually on both the Android phones..it does not work.. it records the data but keep sayng the network is out of range (although I'm right next to the router). I hva eplayed with various channels on both frequecies and played also with the MTU size.One of the Android phone is Garmin the other Acer Liquid...different brand running both Android 2.2...
Firmware on E4200 is 1.0.02
All settings reset to Auto/MIxed for now.
WPA2 is enable with security key
SSID is enabled on both frequency
no MAC address filtering is setup
Both my phones can detect other networks and can connect fine to friends and family networks...So I suspect a compatibility problem between router an Android..I have contacted Linksys support twice with no avail. I have contacted both Acer and Garmin...they refer me to linksys

I am trying to replace my Cradlepoint MBR1200 with a CBR450 in bridge mode, to let the E4200 take over all the WAP and DHCP handling, but having a hard time.I set the CBR450 in bridge mode and when I connect it to my laptop it properly passes the IP info to my Mac and allows me to connect. I then connect it to the E4200 WAN port with it set to get IP address automatically but nothing ever happens and I am never allowed traffic in/out over the WAN.
I *can* get internet access by leaving the CBR450 in normal mode (handling DHCP, etc) and then plugging it into the E4200 LAN port and having the E4200 set to bridge.why the E4200 WAN port is not getting the bridge info and allowing connection? FWIW, works fine connecting to a DSL modem with the DSL model set to bridge mode at my other house.
CBR450 and E4200 both on latest firmwares.

I purchased a WAG320N and E4200 and have manged to get the modem connected to the internet and it's running fine in that respect, with no adjusting done to the settings.My intentions are to connect the WAG320N to the E4200 wirelessly, as they are in seperate rooms in the house and have done a similar setup in the past with a 7300G Billion Modem and WRT54GL.
With the E4200 I quickly discovered there was no bridge mode out of the box, but checking these forums got the indication that the firmware updates added this capability, so updated it..I entered the IP Address of the Router, the Subnet mask of the network and the Default Gateway / Modem router IP address into the fields, following this guide, but have not been able to get the computers to contact one another, nor ping the other devices.

I have an E4200 wireless router which is connected via USB to my Canon MX 308 printer. I am able to print from Windows computers that are connected to this router (via WiFi of course). My iPad 2.0 is able to connect to the internet via the router. However I am not able to print content from my iPad via the E4200 router (via Wifi using Cisco Connect software).

I'm trying to connect the D-Link 930L Wireless N Camera to my E4200 router. When I have the camera connected via the Ethernet cable it works fine, as soon as I unplug the Ethernet cable it will not connect wirelessly. I tested the camera on a friends router E3000 and the camera connects fine and work flawlessly on his network wirelessly. Any settings in the router that need to changed or set differently?? All of my other devices work great. I have been through D-Links Tech support all things point back to my router.

I have a new E4200 with the latest firmware and my slingbox seems to not be playing nice with the router. It refuses to take the IP I reserved for the SB, but always defaults to 192.168.2.254. I use a 2 subnet just in case you're wondering. I have tried multiple reboots and the IP does not change. I have tried turning off UPNP, figuring that was hijacking the dhcp server, but that hasn't changed anything. I also notice that a few of my connected devices do not show up in the dhcp list, yet they connect and work ok.

I was attempting to use my EA4200 in bridge mode but found out for some reason my devices weren't connecting to the internet. So I decided to try to access the router through the IP address of the router with no avail. So I pull the router and plug it in normally and notice that it keeps flashing. So that already gives me an idea something is wrong. I go through the process of unplugging everything from the router, and plugging my PC directly into the LAN port 1 of the router then powering it up. On my network connection list it keeps trying to identify the network but keeps failing (keep in mind that the router still is flashing). So I decide to attempt a 10 second reset, then a 30 second, then a 30-30-30. All with no success. The router keeps flashing.
Which gets me to the point where I am now... router flashing at me, and wondering if this now out of warrenty unit was a waste of money. I am noticing that a lot of people have had questions and issues with the E4200v2 which now concerns me, well hopefully this can be fixed.

Last week I purchased the E4200 and for simplicity, I configured it with basic settings using Cisco Connect. Today, I went into the web interface. The only thing I did was review settings and get the Routers PIN (it appears that Intel Chipset cards on Windows requires this PIN?) Close the browser (did not save any settings) and now I am completely locked out of the device. Cannot connect does not accept the wireless password. I hard reset the device, ran through the wizard. Everything was working again. Launch the browser and connected to the device closing window and balm?

I have a simple question; Does the E4200 have a print server built into it? I have a usb printer that I want to attach to the router so multiple computers can print to it. The printer does not have ethernet or wireless. I will be upgrading the printer later but would like for it to work with all my computers at the moment.

I have an HP LJ4050 plugged right into one of the open LAN ports on my E4200 with a CAT6 cable. Can this router work as a LAN print server? I can't pull up the IP on a browser window or ping it successfully.The 4050 doesn't have USB capability and I don't want to use the parallel port on my PC unless I have to.If possible, I'd like to have wireless computers on the network be able to print to it as well.

I have a WD USB with approx 70,000 songs on it. When I try and scan the Music, it gets approx halfway though the songs, then the Media Servers stops all communications.
The only way I can get the Media Server to recover is to power cycle the E4200

The e4200 1.0.03 DHCP server appears to be quite buggy. After configuring a static IP / reservation for a client which already had a dynamic IP from the pool, the e4200 continued to offer this client its pool IP. However, the DHCP client listing in the e4200 showed the client having the static IP even though it was still being offered that pool address.This may sound like user error, but I can assure you, it is not. I have had a very frustrating experience with this product, and rather than fool with tech support again, I ran `tcpdump -e -s1600 -n -vvvv -i eth0 port bootpc or port bootps` to absolutely rule out a mistake on my part, bug in the DHCP client, etc. I found that the client was always offered that old IP, even thought the e4200 status display showed the "new" static one, after doing a DHCPDISCOVER without requesting a specific IP. This condition persists across e4200 reboots even after having the client release its lease!I finally was able to resolve this by forcing the client to request the static IP from the e4200.This is unquestionably a bug in the DHCP server, and additionally, the user interface does not show the real state of the underlying DHCP leases held by clients which have static addresses / reservations. Troubleshooting this condition is well beyond the abilities of the average user.

I have 2 machines using Windows 7 and a Xbox 360. If I use the router for streaming media. Am I able to see the hard drive through the main computer it is hooked up to? Say if I dl something and want to put it on the external drive for media server. Can I save it to drive even though it is hooked up to the router? Overall. What does E4200 media server advantage have over something like windows media player to stream or windows media center?

My old dLink DIR-655 router could serve as an NTP server for all the computers on my network. It would get the time from the dLink NTP time source and allow me to sync all the systems on my home network off the DIR-655.
I had to replace it with this new E4200 but don't see an option for it to act as a time source for my internal network.
Can this router be used for this function?

Is there a way to get the E4200 to NOT provide itself as a dns server to the DHCP clients? I have the unit set up to provide two dns servers to the clients, but the 4200 always provides itself as a third and it uses my cable providers dns servers. I am using a dns based filtering service to prevent certain material from being accessed within my network as the first two resolvers. So long as both or one of the provided servers is working it doesn't fall back to the unfiltered third, but I would prefer to remove it entirely.

I'm setting up WHS 2011 for the first time. When attempting to set up Remote Web Access, WHS continues to recoginze my E4200 model information and router IP address but delivers the message 'Remote Web Access to Your Server is Blocked'. Cisco and MS say the router is compatible with WHS and that it should set up through the wizard but no luck following many attempts, including manual set up of DHCP Reservation and Single Port Forwarding on ports 80/443 (not sure I did this correctly).
I've taken the router back to default settings with the exception of enabling Remote Management under the Remote Management Access section of the Administration menu tab; tried again with the same result. What settings to change to make this work?

I just bought a Linksys E4200v2 router and updated the firmware to 2.0.26.124551. The DHCP server is turned on however, it won't issue any IP addresses. I have to set IP reservations for all of my devices in order for the router to give them an IP address. This includes my printer, xbox360 and 2 computers. I'm also having this problem with the wired and wireless lan.

I saw it's possible to use an USB drive/stick with the builtin FTP server to allow file access.Would it also be possbile to have the router function as webserver for external access from USB ?

I just bought an e4200. I was using a LinkSys WRT54GS running DD-WRT alternative firmware.
One feature that I really liked in DD-WRT was the ability to assign static IP leases from the DHCP server. I liked having all of my devices running with a predictable, known IP address on my network. I have a Home Theater PC, and various controller applications that run on iPhones, etc. - some pretty homebrewed. Configuring the firewalls, etc. was much easier with IP address based controls.
Is there a way to achieve the same within the e4200's stock firmware?

i've not seen anything that sugests this (also my E4200 is on order, pending delivery, so unable to look into it more), but is it possible to have a remote library with the E4200 media server? i currently have a server with alot of content on it, but it does not support uPnP/DLNA. would i be able to use the E4200 to connect to the server and access it via the E4200's media server?

Attempting to configure Linksys e4200 router in WPA2 Enterprise mode. Got this setup fine when using the Linksys WRVS4400N (That is until it died on me, RIP circa 2 months ago). I’m getting nothing in the NPS logs, nothing when doing a PCAP at the radius server. It appears this router isn’t communicating to the NPS/Radius server.

I have a problem with the e4200 router and a mybook 1 TB connected to it. The media server works fine but after a while i loose contact with the router and the server this means that the Cisco connect doesn't work, the 192.168.1.1 doesn't work and I can't find the disk via \. I do have internet connection via wifi as im using it now....why I loose connection to the router? The lease time is 24h and it can happen more than once in a day.
