Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200v2 Connection Always In Dead Loop
Mar 26, 2012
I've bought my E4200v2 via eBay, because original Cisco store doesn't ship to my country (Israel).My first unit was... defective, I think I wrote about the issue on this forum a while ago.It had connection troubles, always in a dead loop, saying "Connecting..." one to 100 times it managed to connect, and suffered slow internet connection speed, where all speedtests gave me 60% of my actual internet speed.Which is 30mbit.I'm sure about my ISP, it uses next.gen technology, they have their own underwater optic cables. Without Cisco router, only dialer, I get 100% of my internet speed, or with another router as well.I decided to RMA my e4200v2.
Out of context question: Why there's no option to specify server name instead of server IP? our ISP uses domain name for connection, rather than IP address, as they have a lot and a load balancer above 'em.Now, to the original issue.Refund is no option, RMA again is no option, too much time and money.Maybe there is a solution? It just can't be the reality, that two out of two units are not working. I heard this router is very good. And I heard the v1 is working very well in Israel. so It can't be our country that is the problem.By the way, I've called my ISP and they've switched me to MPLS connection for a try, so in a router you just switch to "Automatic configuration - DHCP" and it pulls IP, DNS servers and connected to the internet, but was hooooribly slow.
So I'm back to dialer. the main still is the "Connecting..." loop, sometimes says "Connected" for a second, and then connecting again... It manages to pull DNS addresses though, but never the IP and never managed to stay connected.All the connection configs are very basic, you know it. Server IP, username, password, keep-alive, MTU (I've tried auto, and a ton of other combinations recommented by our ISP or Cisco).My latest idea was to film how I burn it or throw a rock at it and send to Cisco the video, but that's kinda too much, it's too early for such decisions, especially when already $300 were spent.

I recently changed my wirless router from the E4200 to the E4200v2. As far as I know, I have the same settings on the E4200v2 as I did on the E4200. My PS3 will not connect to my wireless network via the E4200v2. I even retyped in my network information (SSID and password) onto the PS3. Still "no joy." Any issue with the E4200v2 and the PS3?

My WRT310n router, since yesterday, stopped working "normally".It was disconnected from the power plug in order to put it in another shelve and when I plugged it in, voilá, constant reboot.I keeps rebooting forever... I can't even make an ethernet connection. Reboot, after reboot. Tryied to make a reset with no luck, 5 seconds reset, 30s reset, pressing reset while plugging it in.Even with nothing connected to it (neither wireless nor lan), just the power plug and it keeps re booking one after another.

I have a couple incredibly annoying problems with my E4200v2. I have one Win7 laptop that connects wirelessly and has been slowed to a CRAWL connected to this new router.3 of the 4 Android powered devices I have experience random and unexplained drops in Internet access. It seems they stay connected to the router itself but they lose Internet. Happens at random times and intervals.

I'm having trouble maintaining a 6rd connection with E4200v2 and the 6rd tunnel. When the 6rd is first setup, IPv6 works perfectly on all my devices. But that only lasts for a few hours. My windows xp computers and iphone cannot get an IPv6 connection/address after a few hours. And then hours turn to days with no IPv6 connection. The router says it's got an IPv6 address but I'm not able to connect any devices to any ipv6 sites and/or ipv6 test sites (ipv6 tests fail). IPv4 always works. There's no problem with IPv4.
So I'm wondering if Cisco tested these routers for a couple hours but never did any long term tests? Or maybe the problem is with AT&T? It would be too big of a coincidence for it to happen on several windows computers and apple devices at the same time to be a device problem. It's failed the IPv6 tests with friend's ipads and Windows 7 computers also.This issue has occurred on all versions of cloud and classic firmware including the latest 2.1.39.145204. The only way to get IPv6 back working again is to power cycle the DSL modem (in bridge mode) and E4200v2. It doesn't matter if the 6rd is configured to automatic or manual using AT&T's published BR settings. Same result. IPv6 lasts for a few hours.And it doesn't matter if the modem is in bridge mode, or if I configure Lan-to-Wan or L-W with IP pass through.....same result.

I was able to connect to my 5ghz and 2.4ghz networks just fine. Now today I get a message that the connection timed out whenever I try and connect to the 5ghz. I have done a 30/30/30 reset, and still no joy. The one thing I haven't done yet is a 30/30/30 with a configuration from scratch. I will probably try that later. I've done the usual things like change the channel and all that, still no go. Other things I've done, change the network name, change the MTU, restart my machine. However, this is happening on other devices as well. The 2.4ghz network, solid as a rock.

I haven't changed anything apart from the SSID names so I can choose which device has access to which band 2.4 or 5ghz.I've come across an issue with the wireless and it drops connection randomly. I have to then disable and enable wireless adaptor on my laptop to connect again.I have read reports of allot of people having this issue however the majority of the issues were over a year ago (2011). Am I to assume this issue was resolved with a firmware upgrade somewhere which I may of missed? My current firmware is 2.1.38.138880. Is this the most up to date?

Have to re-boot 1-2x daily. Updated firmware through Cisco, followed by about 7-8 support calls. They all recommend some sales thing, new router, computer update and clean-up, or blame it on my modem (not the case). When E1500 goes down, all wired and wireless connections are lost. They all recommend some sales thing, new router, computer update and clean-up, or blame it on my modem (not the case).

How do I troubleshoot to find out if my wireless router is dead? I have a WRT160N. It's been giving me problems lately, so I thought I'd update the firmware. Long story short, I had to reset it, but I still can't get into it. I have gotten into it, but when I try to save it gets hung and then I reload and then it starts all over again.It does work hard- wired--I can access the internet with ethernet. But I can't get the dang thing reset and then upgrade the firmware...
Somehow I set this router up to act essentially as a repeater, an extension of the wireless network that is "anchored" (not the right word I'm sure) by the wireless router provided to me by my DSL provider. I want to do the same thing once I get this one working again--set it up as an extension of the existing network so I can essentially walk around the house with my iPad and not have to re-log in when passing into a new "zone".

I've got an IPTV network with Bell FibeTV with Motorola VIP1216 (the DVR master) and VIP1200 (slave) cable boxes. All the coax cables in my walls form a wired ethernet network instead of a cable TV network. To get better wireless coverage in my home, I've set up routers as wireless access points at each of the cable boxes. Essentially I've plugged the router into the ethernet bridge of the cable boxes, and disabled DHCP and gave it a static IP and did all things I needed to do to disable all the routing capabilities and make it into a switch (here's what I did, step by step: [url...]). So when I go from one room to another, I just select a new wireless access point to get maximum signal strength and speed.

It has happen suddenly : Internet is not working through WRT150N, though it work when directly connected to the modem. So I think it is a router issue :On the WRT150N, Internet light is flashing fast for 2 seconds, then is off for 2 seconds, then flashes, then is off and so on, wether there is a device (computer, modem, ...) plugged or not, through the blue ethernet connector.And sometimes, Internet light stays off from power on, whatever is done with ethernet connexions (yellow or blue).
When connected to the blue ethernet Internet connector, my pc ethernet lights don't blink (nor the link light or the data light)I have try the 30-30-30 reset cycle. But it doesn't improve.I have tried the loopback test : connect an ethernet cable from the one of yellow ethernet port of WRT150N to the blue ethernet of WRT150 N.Sometimes, the light for the yellow ethernet port goes on for a few seconds, while the Internet light continues to flash. After a few seconds, both go off.Sometimes, as soon as the loopback is made, the 2 lights go off, and if a computer is plugged to the yellow port, the ethernet lights of the computer and the router stays off.But I can access to WRT150N through Wifi and I can access to the web management.

WRT400N worked great for 18 months.
Last week the Verizon-supplied DSL modem went bad (wasn't receiving data) and was replaced.
Now I can get Internet direct out of modem, and when I connect it to router the router's Internet light is on, but it seems to stop there. Devices connected to router via Ethernet or wifi don't get Internet.
I'm able to get to the router's admin console via Ethernet and wifi, but no Internet.

I will soon upgrade my wireless network from a WRT610N to an E4200v2. At setup of the router, I assume I'll be able to change the SSID of the E4200v2 and I plan to keep the same SSID as on my old router. With the same SSID as currently seen by the devices on my network

I have a synology DS411 and a ATV2.DS411 is always downloading from internet,normally the download' bandwidth of DS411 is around 2MB/s.In my old netgear 3800,i just need to active WMM and add a port OQS that the port connection DS411 is low.Then when I watch stream video from internet on my ATV2.I can see the DS411's bandwidth will be reduced automatic.I replaced 3800 with E4200v2 some days before,and I have done the same config ,turn WMM ,set ATV MAC to highest and DS411 MAC to lowest. But when I watch ATV2,DS411's bandwidth seems not be reduced,so I cant get the smooth video Its very bad.

We have the Linksys E4200v2 router. We have two servers on our network that we want to access remotely (from outside). We have two Static IPs from our ISP. We currently utilize one of those IPs to access one of the servers-no problem. How can we utilize the second IP to access the second server?

I have a static IP on the ATA (Linksys PAP-2T) ...the router will only pick it up occasionally...most times it does not. The ATA is on and working (I can call in/out) but I can't see how the router can't find/see it. I have added the ATA to the DHCP reseve list but still nothing. I have the port fowarded for the ATA but when I go to canyouseeme.org it comes up as "Connection timed out"...becuase I think it can't see the ATA behind the Router.

On the D-Link it was easy, I can see who is connected to which radio.But I can't figure out how to see who is connected to WiFi on hte E4200?I run several access points in my house, and I need to make sure htey are all working.If I can't see who, if any, is connected, I have no idea if WiFi on the E4200 is working.

V2.0.26.124551 is now available. I did the online upgrade and it took just a couple of minutes including the reboot. The firmware is not available as a download yet for manual install. This firmware is dated 11/14/11 so it doesn't appear to correct the Port 53 issue reported earlier.Release Date: Nov 14, 2011 Firmware version: v2.0.26 (Build 124551) - Support for the WAN L2TP and PPTP protocols

My ISP dynamicly assigns IP's so I have my New E4200V2 set up as Automatic Configuration DHCP. I want to be ablt to use a specific DNS server rather than the one issues by my ISP.No matter what values are in the Static DNS 1, 2 and 3 the router continues to pull a DNS from my ISp. My POS old D-link 615 was able to utilize a custom DNS server with no issues so surely ther emyst be a way to do the same on the E4200.

I am wondering what is the optimal way to set-up my E4200v2 and PLWK400 at home? I have several devices (laptops, tablets, phones) that connect on .11g and .11n.
My current set-up:
E4200v2: 5ghz - Wireless-N only (SSID home-n), 2.4ghz - Wireless-B/G only (SSID home-g)
PLWK400: SSID home-ext (separate part of the home)
I am using WPA2 Personal security if that makes a different. One question would it be "better" to have the same SSID for all 3 wireless settings (5ghz, 2.4ghz, and PLWK400)? Would the various devices know which frequency to switch to for best speed and range?

I tried to upgrade my router firmware to the latest 2.1.39.145204 (downloaded from cisco website) but seems like the upgrade didn't go well. I am unable to open the admin webpage. I can get to the login page on 192.168.1.1, after i enter the admin password the next page doesn't load. It keeps showing 'Waiting' at the center of the page forever.. I have tried to do the 30/30/30 reset to no avail, i tried to do tftp downgrade to older firmware version but the tftp boot doesn't even start. Is there any other way i can either fix the current firmware upgrade or downgrade it to the previous version?

I purchased an e4200v2 to replace my old WRT160n which I have been using for years with no issues. Last night the e4200 crashed on me when I went to reset the router I noticed the CISCO light was blinking very slowly and I had no network connection. I power cycled the router and still no connection so I hit factory reset button. Nothing happened. Did a 30/30/30 reset nothing happened. At this point I have a 34 day old plastic brick on my desk and I'm back to using my old WRT160N. how to unbrick this router?
