Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200v1 Bridge Settings Will Not Stick
Jan 28, 2013
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.

I have a Wireless Router supplied by my ISP that give me both 1G Lan and N Band Wireless, so I just need to use my 4200V1 as a Storage Access Point. I have done all the Bridge Mode configurations, IP Address ad Subnet / Default Gateway, etc to the routher and can see it on my Local LAN, by it's Set name.
I can not http or Https to the Config menu in any way, so I can not establish if a Disk is connected or not. The Disk device is USB Connected to the E4200 port, but I can not acceeass any of the files that are on it.
DGW - 192.168.1.1
E4200 - 192.168.1.200
Bridge Mode
Wireless Disabled on both Bands
DHCP Disabled
Everything appears fine, but not able to bring up Advance Configuration interface .

The Cisco E4200 is supposed to support something called DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection). These are wifi channels that, due to radar operating on the same frequencies in certain areas of the US, the FCC requires devices using them to do what's called "radar avoidance" -- they're supposed to scan the channel periodically and, if a radar signal is detected on said channel, they have to vacate the channel for a specified period of time (typically around 30 minutes). Because of this, a DFS channel cannot be selected manually by the user -- it has to be selected automatically and vacated automatically in case radar is detected. So, I have my E4200 channel set to "Auto(DFS)"
The list of WLAN channels is here: [URL]
More background: each allowed 5 GHz channel is 20 MHz wide in the US. However 802.11n does what's called "channel bonding" -- it actually uses two channels side-by-side for increased throughput. E4200 owners will notice a channel width setting and one of the options is 40 MHz or Auto (20 MHz or 40 MHz) -- this is what uses two channels combined. I happen to have this option set to "Auto (20 MHz or 40 MHz)".
I discovered, through experimentation, that the router will ALWAYS select channel 149/153 as the operating channel if there are no other wireless APs in the area (channel 149 as primary and channel 153 as secondary). I always wanted to see the AP select a DFS channel, so I brought home a bunch of access points and started occupying spectrum. I put AP #1 on channel 149/153 and rebooted my E4200, at which point it picked channel 157/161. So I put AP #2 on channel 157/161 and rebooted the E4200, and it skipped channel 165 (note that there's not enough spectrum up there for 40 MHz, which is probably why it got skipped) and selected channel 36/40. I put AP #3 on channel 36/40 and rebooted the E4200 and to no surprise it picked channel 44/48. So I put AP #4 on channel 44/48 and it picked...channel 149/153?!?!
Just to be certain that there isn't a certain threshold required to force the AP to select a DFS channel, I moved all 4 APs RIGHT NEXT TO the E4200 such that their signal strengths exceeded -40 dBm, and then rebooted the E4200. It STILL picked channel 149/153!
Just what are the criteria required for the E4200 to select a DFS channel?!? DFS is advertised in the user menu, but I can't find any way to get the AP to select one of those channels. Does the AP *really* support them, or does it just say it does? If the E4200 does NOT really support DFS, then Cisco/Linksys should remove the term "DFS" from the user menu -- it is deceptive!!
Oh, I should mention that I'm in Santa Clara County -- Saratoga, CA. I checked the FCC database on radars and as far as I can tell, there are NO radars on DFS frequencies around here.

I have an e4200 V1 with firmeare V 1.0.04 For my IPv4 configuration I use opendns.com for my DNS provider.When I enable IPv6, I get my ISPs DNS server rather than the one I have configured on the IPv4 page. It works, but it eliminates all filtering and statistics that I am able to do with opendns.com.Open DNS does provide two IPv6 DNS servers, but I don't seem to be able to find where to set them in my e4200. I want it set network wide.Can I set my IPv6 DNS provider anywhere in the e4200v1 with V 1.0.04?

I have the E4200v1 and if I remember correctly I think its on 1.0.0.3 (cant remember because I went back to my wndr3700). I had not had any problems with it until yesterday when I returned to playing The Hunter (first time playing it on the E4200) and my girl hollered upstairs saying that she lost connection on the laptop. I reset the router and she reconnected and I went back to playing the game. 2 minutes later she hollers again. I stopped playing the game to try to figure out the wireless issue and everything looked normal. No more loss connections for the next few hours..........Until I started playing the game again...so I took it out of line and put the 3700 back in line and played the game for hours with no connection drop to the wireless. Is this a knows issue on the 4200? Are some setting changes necessary to game on it? btw I was playing the game wired and it didnt effect the connection at all?

I've tried a number of ways to re-configure my E4200v1 router with Cisco Connect but without luck. I don't have the CD so I've downloaded it from this website and it loads and installs and launches but ultimately can never find the router. Part of the problem may be because I have a Verizon Fios Router already at 192.168.1.1. with the wifi and DHCP turned off, in favor of an Asus router which works well. I have tried taking the Cisco Connect installation off the wifi and onto a wifi through the E4200 Wan or Lan ports, but it still can't be found. I am able to get into the E4200v1 setting manually this way and to change its ip address to avoid the Fios Router conflict. But nothing works. Maybe I need to put the e4200 in the 192.168.1.1 range instead of the Asus 192.168.5.1 range? [code]

The E4200v1 does not play nice with the 4s on iOS6!!It will not work at all with Wireless N mode or mixed mode settings. If I have it on these settings, the iPhone will connect (slowly) to the router, but access content on the browser takes forever (or not at all).I have to set the router to G only nmode, but obviously this is no good for the rest of my devices!

I've had an E4200v1 in use as my home's main router for about 3 mos. And while many others have reported disconnect problems (I think), I myself have never seen any. My router and its N & G wifi networks have been rock solid. Until yesterday that is.Now all of a sudden, most of my family is complaining about wifi disconnects, slow speeds, etc. (My primary PC is hard-wired so I don't see any problems whatsoever... the problem apears to be wifi-only)And the Apple devices (OSX & IOS) seem to have the most severe problems. But Windows devices have also seen problems, just not as critical.Also, it's worth noting that I've been running 1.0.04 the whole time, without any problems... it seemed relatively stable to me. That is until yesterday.
I've bounced the router, I've disabled/re-enabled Wireless G network. I've switched mode from "mixed" to "G-only" back to "mixed". I've changed the channel width back to the default of Auto (I had been using 20Mhz), which increased my throughput (as measured by Qcheck) so I'm leaving it "Auto".

So I bought this new E4200v1 about a week ago and since yesterday it started dropping connection terribly. After checking Cisco Connect it seemed to have a Firmware update which I did and after it was done I decided to do a factory reset since I read somewhere that it works. When the router came back on for a second I saw an unsecured SSID, but then it turned into an SSID called panelist-ssid with a password called google-4panel which is definitely not the default. Also, when I try to access the router webpage to configure it, the password is not the old one nor the default Username: blank Password: admin credentials. I am currently connected to it via the button on the back that allows me to connect without password. Another thing is that I uninstalled Cisco Connect and when I try to install at 25% it says it cannot find my router and ask for SSID + password which I input yet it fails.

i have a little annoying problem with my E4200. V1 with the latest 04 fw. It seems, that after many hours of downloading at full speed (only one torrent at a time) the speed goes down, and up again, and becoming unstable. My max download speed is 1.5 Mb/s, and it can drop from that, to 50 kb/s, and then up again. and i have no internet access when that happens, but it only last 10-20 seconds and then its back again. Sometimes i get that yellow warning sign on the taskbar which says "No Internet Access" but not always.
Seems like its happening after many hours of downloading at full speed. im on the latest firmware, have tried different channels, 20 Mhz only on Channel Width, different names on the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz channels.. i use the 2.4Ghz channel btw. Otherwise its stable, and i have had no problems while gaming online.

I have four E4200's doing the same. I have FiOS 15M download and 5M upload. As soon as QoS is turned on the upload speed drops down to usually 300k and it never exceeds 1M.At the same time any VPN connection gets dropped often.I also configured one E4200v1 as router and the second E4200v1 as Access Point (HDCP off) hardwired to the first one.Any VPN connection gets dropped when changing location. I.e. if VPN was established with the router, the connection gets dropped when in the location where AP is -- and the other way around too. There is no coverage gap between the two locations, to the contrary - they do overlap heavily.On Dec 21, 2011 the level 2 Linksys/Cisco people advised that they will forward the two issues to engineering and that resolution will be within 24-48 hours.

I've got an E4200v1 running 1.0.04 firmware with guest access enabled. I'd like to find out who is logged in using the guest access. Is there a way to get a list of the DHCP clients on the guest network? I'm able to do this for the non-guest access via the WEB interface's Status->Local Network->DHCP Clients Table page. But I can't find a similar table for the guest network.

I ordered a pair of WAP4410N to use as a bridge for a split office. So far they have worked without a hitch but the throughput is less than stellar and I was wondering what the recommended configuration was for best performance (and how much speed could be expected in general) out of these two? [code]
The two nodes are separated by about 25 yards across a parking lot with direct LoS to the other, placed inside a window mounted on the wall -elevated at about 10' so cars in the lot outside do not block visibility. At best the throughput I've seen is 1megabyte/sec, and that seems very slow/clunky to me for the 802.11n specification. Am I missing some setting, updated firmware, or physical setup (AC power instead of PoE for better antenna output maybe?) to have such limited performance?

I'm trying to stream music files to my A/V system. After weeks of encountering problems, I discovered that UPnP was disabled (by default) on the router. After enabling UPnP on the router, bingo......it worked. My A/V system has a Yamaha A/V receiver, which is a networking receiver capable of net radio and accessing/playing files on my PC. Net radio works fine. The problem I'm having is that when I shut down the A/V receiver, turn it back on, I can't access the files. I have to disable UPnP, save changes, and then reenable UPnP, save changes. When I do that, all is well and my receiver "sees" my PC and files. Shut down the receiver, turn it back on, back to square one and have to do the do the disable/enable routine again. PC is WinXP, using Windows Media Player 11. Seems the "enable" UPnP desn't "stick", even though it shows enabled on the setup page.

I have 2 TP-Link # 941NDs at my home. ( version 3.6 )In the new ( second ) TP link, i activate WDS - Wireless Bridge. And configure it to through Wi-Fi connect with earlier TP-Link, and also to act as router to cater to PCs within its range. IPs are set as per of same family as that of primary TP-Link, and further, DHCP been de-activated as well. Have sent WEP security as well.It performs correctly for the time, its stays ON, but when its switched Off, and then On again, it is not able to connect to the primary TP-Link and thus not able to serve its client PCs.

I currently have a DAP1522 in Bridge mode with a DIR655. I am only using the 2.4GHz G mode on my 655. In a few days I will be replacing the 655 with an 825. When I log into the 1522 I don't see any settings for Mode, Frequency or Width (while in Bridge mode). The page for wireless setup is blank except for the "Save Settings" button. When I look at the 655, it appears that the 1522 is connected (bridged) at 2.4 GHz G like I would expect. So, when I install the 825 how do I make it connect at 5GHz N or will that be automatic if my SSID on the N mode of the 825 matches SSID on the 1522?

In my apartment, I can receive the wireless signal of free scholl wireless, which is accessable without user name and password. Although the signal is not good, but we used to use a router EA3000 to relay the signal. Now my roommate is leaving with this this router. So I bought EA4500 and try to do the similar job. However, I find that the configurations on 192.168.1.1 are different between EA3000 and EA4500. Many options cannot be found in the EA4500 page, such as the wireless client.

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.

how to set up my router settings/port forwarding to be able to use Wake on Lan with Depicus here is what I currently have:DHCP Reservation with the IP Address of my computer (192.168.1.xxx) and the MAC address xx:xx:xx:xx that I retrieved by doing ipconfig /all in the cmdMy Router address is 192.168.1.1 and the submnet mask is 255.255.255.0my DDNS service is disabledIn the Security tab, I unchecked Filter anonymous internet requestsIn Applications and Gaming, under single port forwarding, I have port 7 to 7, Both TCP and UDP, forwarded to the IP address of my computer 192.168.1.xxx and it is enabledMy network card is configured already, enabling WOL in the card's properties.Now when I use Depicus, I enter the MAC, my external IP address which I got from myipaddress.com, subnet mask I use 255.255.255.0, I select Internet, and then the remote port I use is 7,Doing that, nothing happens at all. however, I can easily wake up my computer if I am connected to the same local network at home.
