Linksys Wireless Router :: EA 4500 - Network Storage Not Visible To TV Set Box?

Mar 26, 2013

I have TV set box connected to modem router supplied by ISP provider. To the same router I connected EA 4500 to which I wired connected Network Hard Disc at which I store music, photos and films, which I can not access via TV set box. If I connect Hard Disc direct to the modem router to which set box is connected, access works fine.
 
Whar shall I do to establish accesability of Network Hard Disc over all network ?

External Storage Not Visible In Wifi?

Jan 2, 2012

my current home netowrk setup:

Cable modem
linksys WRT320N router
Dlink 10 port gigabit switch
3 wired desktops
networked printer/scanner
external D Link Share Center
3 wireless devices

I cannot see the share center Drives on my laptop unless I plug in. Would I need to simply plug the storage drive into the router instead of the switch? Will that affect the rest of the network?

on another note, what is the best way to test my computer to computer connection speeds?

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT610N Connection And Network Storage

Mar 11, 2009

On my network I have a wired PC running Vista Ultimate, a wireless g notebook running XP Pro, a wired PABT box for VOIP, an iPhone, a wireless g Mediagate MG350HD media extender connected to the TV in the lounge (about 10 metres away through 3 wooden walls) and I have a usb hard drive connected to the WRT610N router.I have only switched on the 2.4 band on the router - 5.0 band requires the client to have wireless N anyway, so since I have no wireless N devices it's no use right now?To manage my network I use Network Magic.
 
Problem #1.   My Mediagate MG350HD keeps dropping it's connection to the network. I have tried using DHCP and a static ip for it but it still drops. The only solution I've found is toremove the blanked-out Mediagate from the network map in Network Magic, reboot the router, click 'search for new devices' in Network Magic and MOST times it will redetect and reconnect the Mediagate.
 
Problem #2. Trying to configure the network storage device (my USB hardrive) is a pain in the arse.In the routers storage tab I cannot make sense of the folder creation. All I want to do is share specific folders and all their contents on the network. Every time I go to assign access rights and click the groups over into the access granted column and hit 'save' it puts them straight back in the access denied column. Does this have something to with permissions on my PC? When I go into Network and Sharing Centre it now displays 'Network Storage', when I click into it 3 networked folders appear, when I try to set permissions on these folders I hit apply and the boxes I've just ticked blank-out again. The folder marked 'Network Hard Drive' (the one I set-up using the storage tab in the router) does not display the subfolders and the actual movies stored on them. When I try to change the persmissions on the using my PC, different folders, eg Movies, TV etc... I get the same blanking out of the tickboxes on 'apply'.Is there a step-by step graphical instruction I can follow other than the PDF that came on the disk with the router.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200 Can't Access Laptop 2 Or Network Storage

Jan 29, 2011

I have been having issues with my home network since upgrading my router from a WRT54GS to an E4200.  Prior to this I had no difficulty in accessing my home group or my home network.  I have 2 laptops, both are running Windows 7 Ultimate, one is x64 and one is x32. 
 
Laptop 1 (x-64) can access my home network in all its glory ONLY wirelessly...plug in the Ethernet cable and I can't access laptop 2 or my network storage...Laptop 1 is also unable to join my homegroup even after deleting the old one and creating a new one.
 
Laptop 2 (x-32) can access my home network in most of its glory ONLY wired...unplug the Ethernet cable and I can't access my network storage and it becomes unavailable to Laptop 1 over the network.  Laptop 2 is also not able to connect to Laptop 1 even though Laptop 1 can (sometimes) access files from Laptop 2's shared folders.
 
Also Laptop 2 cannot see a home group created by Laptop 1, but can create a homegroup that Laptop 1 can see but CAN'T join.I have run all the trouble shooters that the system throws at me to no avail, they all say that I have an unknown network error that it can't fix.I do have internet access on both laptops regardless of wired or wireless, and I spent over 2 hours with Cisco "senior"  tech support only to be disconnected and realize that they had no clue about this new router..

Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200 Would USB Port Connected To Hard Drive Still Function As Network Storage

If I were to take a e4200v2 and use it as an access point (disable DHCP), would the USB port connected to a Hard Drive still function as network storage?

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA 4500's Guest Network Shows Unsecured

Feb 18, 2013

I'm not sure why the guest net work is unsecured.  I would have thought that would not be an option but it is unsecured.  How to secure the guest network [2.4 GHz]?  Also when I view the guest list some devices stay displayed whether they are in the vicinity or even turned off.  That adds to my paranoia with the guest network being unsecured.   I also can't edit the screen names to know who the device belongs to like is available in "my devices", forcing me to keep a MAC address list.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E2500 5ghz Ssid Not Visible?

Dec 25, 2012

None of my wireless devices (Windows, iphones) can see the SSID from the 5ghz channel on my E2500. I have updated the firmware and reset the router to factory defaults. Still  not visible. The router is set up to broadcast the SSID under wireless settings. Also, selecting "other" under iphone>settings>wifi and entering the SSID name and password gets "could not find the network (ssid)". This was working until a couple of days ago Comcast power cycled the router to make sure my cable modem was working.  Now nothing.

Can't Connect To Visible Wireless Network?

Oct 9, 2012

Previously, I didn't have problems connecting to my office's wireless router as my laptop automatically connects to it when I turn the connection on. Then, for a few weeks, my computer could no longer connect to the said network. It really puzzles me on how this was the case when the laptops and other devices of my other colleagues can connect to the same network, so has my smartphone. When I was doing field work, I usually bring along my laptop and I found out that it had only a specific problem on my office's router since I can connect to other wireless networks. I searched over the net for any possible solutions; I rebooted the router countless times but to no avail. I made sure that I didn't get the encyrption key wrong all the time. I even tried to connect my computer directly to the router using a cable and tried to access the router interface via the web browser; but it couldn't connect. I then tried pinging it on cmd, and it only prompted a "time-out." [CODE]

Linksys WRT54GS 7.2 Router / Can't Get Any Of The Ports To Be Visible

Aug 10, 2011

I'm using a linksys WRT54GS 7.2 router and I can't get any of the ports to be visible. I've set a static ip, and setup everything according to portforward.com and previous experience, I've never had to get ports to work with either this router or computer, so I can't say if it's ever worked for either. According to [URL] the connection is timing out before connecting.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Accessing FTP Using EA4500 Storage?

Jul 3, 2012

I have a 1TB Western Digital drive connected to my home EA4500 router. Connecting to media server using SMB protocol (192.168.1.1) works fine. I am moving abroad for an extended amount of time, though, so I would also like to connect to this USB drive using FTP. Using the new Cisco Connect Cloud interface, I have enabled FTP sharing for the USB storage device with port 21 and using standard UTF-8 encoding. Whenever I try to connect to the FTP server using my router login credentials, I get the following error message:"There was a problem connecting to the server xx.xxx.xxx.xx. This file server will not allow any additional users to log on. Try to connect again later"

Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200 Does Not Detect USB Storage?

Aug 21, 2012

When I connect my WD My Book Essential 3TB (which is listed as officially compatible with the E4200), I get the following screen:
  
The E4200 does not detect my hard drive, nor is there a bar saying "detecting".
 
My problem started when I could not create any new folders through finder.  I had to store new files in the root folder.  Every time I entered the admin password, I got a message saying I did not have sufficient permission to perform such a task.  I then went on to create a new user within the admin group and continued getting the same message.  Finally, I formatted the drive directly through my computer and reconnected.  And now my HDD is not detected at all.
 
I have an iMac running OS X Lion.  The HDD is question has been formatted to Mac OS extended (journaled).

Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200v4 USB Storage Password?

Apr 28, 2013

I have an e4200v2 with latest firmware. I have changed the administrator password from "admin" to a password of my own.I have recently added a USB hard drive to the router, and it says that admin password to access the share drive is the same as the admin password as the router, but it is not. The password to acces the USB drive is "admin" and there is nowhere to change this password to something secure.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT350N FTP Access To USB Storage?

Jul 17, 2011

I have my WRT350N setup.  all computers within my LAN can access my usb storage device.   I can not access my usb storage device using a computer outside my LAN.
 
if you log on to 99.225.89.229:8080 it will ask you for user id and pass word to log into my router.
 
if you try to log on to 99.225.89.229:21 it wont even connect asking you for a user id and password.
 
my guess is the router is not allowing port 21 to be accessed, but I'm not sure.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Cannot Access USB Storage On WRT610N From Computer

Mar 4, 2012

I am uable to access my files on the USB Storage Device connected to WRT610. Its configured properly. I can see the drive on my network. When I double click it asks for password which I enter and it takes me to the shared folder. But when I click it it says Not Accessible....You donot have the persmission. FTP works fine.I have noticed that on the disk page in the Shared Folder Area when you click on the Summary, the box with Groups With Access is Empty. Whereas on the FTP area in the same summary it clearly mentions the admin group.I have tried every thing including factory reset, hard reset, using new group, new user name etc..The technician from Linsys even spent an hour on my computer and ultimately he gave up and gave me number to contact technical support.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200v2 Cannot Create Storage Share

Just bought router and installed.  I cannot create share in Storage settings in Advanced settings.  I hit Create Share and it brings up the dialog box where I enter the display name.  Share entire partition is checked already.  I save settings and I see the box going to the form where you assign the Group roles, but then the box disappears and closes.  All I see is the original Storage setting page with the Create Share button still there.I tried this on Win 7 using both IE8 and Chrome browsers.

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA4500 How To Gain Access To USB Storage

Apr 10, 2013

Just got my Linksys EA4500 router today.The only confusing thing, not not well explained by Linksys . Is the USB storage set up.One thing (very important) Linksys has failed to explain how to gain access to the USB storage once connected to the router. Once the USB storage drive it set up. Or at least I think it's set up. Nothing shows up on my network page. So how am I to get access to the drive? If it don't show up?I need to know how to gain access to the USB storage drive that is connected to the Linksys router.

 This is how I think it is to be set up. Again the instructions are not all that clear how to set up. And where is this widget on the homepage to be located?

Linksys Wireless Router :: E3000 Streaming Media From Attached USB Storage

Jan 9, 2011

I am very pleased with my purchase of the E3000 so far. However, one function seems to allude me. One of the main reasons for purchasing this router was because of its Media Server functionality. I wanted to be able to stream to my UPnP devices (ps3, xbox360, etc) without having to keep my power hog of a PC running. I have set up the HD using the Storage tab of the Advanced Router Settings, and created several Shares on the Media Server tab. The good news is that I am able to access the share on my PS3. The bad news is that I can't on my Xbox360s. As the Xbox360s has built in wireless N, I would really like to be able to stream to that system.
