Linksys Wireless Router :: EA3500 HDD File Corruption?

Mar 5, 2013

I have recently bought a cisco EA3500 router for my home network and i am pretty surprised to see that a router from the world leader in the networking domain cannot perform as expected.
 
The first problem i had was that the network (wired and wireless) was dropping from time to time for a couple of minutes with the power led of the router blinking. I turned off the log feature of the router and it seems that until now the problem is resolved.
 
Now, the second and, at least as annoying as the first, is that i have a 640gb usb hdd connected to the router, formatted NTFS. It seems that every now and then a file gets corrupted, that is, it is transformed into a folder! And it cannot be recovered without pulling out the hdd and using a 3rd parth software for file recovery.
 
I have the latest firmware. Should i switch back to the classic firmware instead of the "fancy" new one? I really need my files on that drive, so i cannot risk loosing them in this random manner.

Linksys Wired Router :: BEFSR41 DHCP Client Table Corruption?

Jan 31, 2011

Most devices pass a client name to DHCP when requesting an IP, but some like my smartphone, do not. When a device does not pass a client name garbage is entered as the name of the client name.The first is that when you use the Web Admin pages, and select Status/Local Network/DHCP Clients, the table will not display any clients because there is an error on the page. If you right click and View Source from the browser, you will see all the client entries are there and one of them will have garbage (unprintable characters) for the client name.The second and more serious issue is that the internal DHCP table once corrupt is unstable. I've had my BEFSR41 reboot because of the corruption and then I get IP conflicts on my LAN because the DHCP starts handing out in-use IPs.I'm on hardware version 4.3 and the latest firmware Ver.2.00.4 Build 8 (which is very difficult to install without bricking the router). BTW, when I use a WRT54GL router with the smartphone, it is properly handled by the DHCP and shows a blank client name, not garbage.

Linksys Wired Router :: RV016 Working But All Downloads Lead To Corruption

Jun 9, 2012

just purchase this RV016 and the firmware has been updated to 3.0.2.01-tm.Every download I try through the router leads to a curruption somehow, even though the download manager gets it all.  If I go straight from the cable modem I have no problems.It's a 4mbps upload and 0.8 downlink from what speedtest shows.  I have tried diff DL managers, and get the same result on different connected PC's.  The great thing about the RV016 is it speeds up the connection on this cable modem.What can I change to get downloads working?

Linksys Wireless Router :: Ea3500 Lan But No Wifi?

Jul 18, 2012

System:

HP Pavilion dv7-6135dx Ent Pc  Win7 Home Prem 64
Motorola Surfboard Modem
Linksys EA3500 Router
Netgear 10/100 24 port switch
 
my wife bought me this EA3500 for Father's Day this year.  It's only been hooked up for a couple of weeks (we were in the middle of a move during Father's Day), but now I have no wifi on either band.  My wife can no longer connect to it either.  We have tried completely resetting it, we have reset the modem, the switch, laptops, everything.  Still no wifi.  It worked out of the box, but now we have nothing.  Does HP needs a certain type of driver?  Our iPhones show connected and surf the brower's and FB app with no issues while in wifi mode, but then again, I can pull the ethernet from the internet port and the phone's still show connected (good job, iOS).Cable from main splitter runs to basement where the modem is located.  Modem ethernet feed up a wall to a wall plate where the router is.  Router then feeds back to the switch.  The switch then sends the IP throughout the house for the LAN lines, and the EA3500 feeds all of the wireless devices (used to).  So, Cable box, modem, router, switch.  Router is currently good for LAN only.  I am connected to it via LAN right now, 2 feet from my laptop.
 
In connections:IPv4/IPv6 both "No Internet Access"  (for IPv4, if you change a setting in the setup, it becomes "Internet Access" for about 3 seconds.)Media State: EnabledSpeed: Alternates between 72Mbps and 144Mbps

Linksys Wireless Router :: Set Up Loopback On A EA3500

Feb 25, 2013

In my home network, I have a Synology. It has 10.0.123.123 as local IP address on my local network and it can be accessed by internet with the dynamic domain name.So when I'm home, I have to use 10.0.123.123 to access it, and when I'm away, I have to use trucmuche.diskstation.me.Would it be possible to configure the EA3500 to redirect the domain name "trucmuche.diskstation.me" to 10.0.123.123 when I use the domain name inside my home ?A friend told me that I had to configure "loopback" but I don't know how..

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA3500 Guest Access Keeps Going Down

Sep 7, 2012

The guest network on the router keeps going down. It can be seen but it cannot be connected to. Sometimes it works for a day or 2 and then it doesn't. I have to constantly babysit the network and it is entirely frustrating because the only fix is to reboot the router.I have tried factory resetting several times.I have tried re-flashing the fw.I'm using the non-CCC fw because CCC had way, way too many issues.These routers have been out for months and many people have been having issues and somehow Cisco doesn't see fit to work on firmware that stabilizes them at all? It's like, they release a router and then forget about it - the next batch comes along, often the same guts with a different shell and it's the same thing over again. I had a WRT610N and I said I'd never buy another Cisco after that but I broke my rule because of being lured by these "App enabled" features, which mind you have nothing at all over the competition since the CCC doesn't even work for most people.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Can't Choose DNS Server In EA3500

May 19, 2012

I have an EA3500. PPPoE connection. Can't seem to choose my DNS server (use Unblock-US) since the router insistently forces me to use the DNS from ISP.How can i work this around? I'm kinda tired of people asking me why i am changing the DNS. I want to change the DNS and that's final. It's a resource like any other and i want to use it.P.S: i tried most of the basic troubleshooting. I tried my old router back on and the DNS's works fine. I tried even conecting the old router re-routing the new one, and the other router manages the selected DNS's servers fine.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Want EA3500 Original Firmware

Jun 28, 2012

If someone has the original firmware for the EA3500 to copy. I need to downgrade my router after Cisco sabotaged it with their Cloud Connect. This will be the firmware you have right out of the box. Be sure you go into the Admin. section and Save a Copy before you ever connect to the Internet. Also Uncheck the Auto Updates box or you will be fed the Cloud Connect (and its amazing Terms Of Service).

Linksys Wireless Router :: Using EA3500 In Bridge Mode?

Feb 16, 2013

I bought the EA3500 nine months ago mainly for the USB port (for a NAS). I recently replaced Comcast Cable with Verizon FIOS. So I now have the FIOS router as my main router (its' IP address is 192.168.1.1). I put the EA3500 in bridge mode to extend the (wired) network. I could get: After going in to bridge mode (with DHCP), I can not log in to the EA3500 (IP address 192.168.1.5 assigned by the FIOS router). I connect my computer directly to one of  the EA3500 numbered ports (after various combinations of rebooting EA3500 and rebooting PC). It just continues to say "waiting" and never logs in. Tried choosing a static route (tried both 192.168.1.43 and 192.168.1.5 with 255.255.255.0, gateway and DNS1 = 192.168.1.1) with no luck.Since I can't log in, I cannot set up my NAS on the USB port of the EA3500 (so I haven't gotten far enough to determine if the USB port will even work in bridge mode).Thought about ensuring the latest firmware but since I can't log in I can't do that. (And after a hard reset EA3500 IP address is 192.168.1.1 which creates conflict with FIOS)

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA3500 Cannot Connect USB Printer

Jun 24, 2012

I am unable to connect a printer using the USB port on my new Linksys EA3500 router.
 
I followed the directions here: Support Page , but my verison of Cisco Connect does not have the option to "connect a USB printer".
 
I am on a macbook pro running OSX 10.7.4 and my verison of Cisco Connect is 1.4 (12005.2). My router's firmware version is 1.0.30.126544. A screenshot of what I see after clicking "add a device" in Cisco Connect is below. The printer is an HP DeskJet F4280.

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA3500 Via CCC Is Difficult To Connect

Aug 14, 2012

After using the newest firmware for CCC, I've found it is very convenient, but only in some ways. Now, I think I find it is uncomfortable, very disappointed and waste lot of times. Each time I try to access to CCC, it took me like 5 mins to access the web page. I understand ciscoconnectcloud.com is use when you are outside of your home network, but when I access it directly from my home (local IP), why should I need to connect via a CCC(?) I want a local connect to my router which is a faster access than via a server.
 
Sometimes, connect via an IP of the router, it say can't connect because of internet connection down, but actually I can still access internet except access my own router. I like the easy setup of CCC but maybe I need to switch back to non-CCC?

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA2500 Won't Connect To EA3500

Apr 30, 2012

I bought a new router today because my WRT54GL was giving me some fits. I purchased an EA3500 and I'm using an EA2500 adapter on the desktop since the router can't reach it via ethernet.  Some of my early troubles with this combo began with not being able to test upload bandwidth.  It would just time out and give an error via the built in Cisco (OOKLA) utitliy and through speedtest.net after which, the network would show no internet access and I'd have to reset the adapter.  After trying to troubleshoot that issue it grew into zero internet access for my desktop however my Nexus would have wifi access without issue.  If I'd startup in safe mode with networking I'd have net access shortly and then it would quit about 30 seconds after startup.  I've tried uninstalling all drivers for the wireless NIC and the Cisco Connect software while doing everything manually but nothing changes.  This PC simply won't gain internet access with the EA3500 or even allow me to access the router through the default gateway IP.  I've since put the WRT45GL back in place and I have access again with my EA2500 adapter.  I should note that with the EA3500 in place, if I disconnected from my wireless I couldnt see any networks until I unplugged the adapter and reinserted it into the USB port (i've also tried many different ports).  I've named the SSID's of the two routers differently, tried a manual setup of the wifi, tried the CD setup, the wifi protected setup, no security, and WPA2 to no avail.  I can't seem to get the EA2500 adapter and the EA3500 router to get along.  I'm running W7 x64 Pro.

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA3500 Printer Connection Via USB?

Dec 7, 2012

I've recently purchases a Canon MF3010 Multifunction printer, and connected this to my EA3500 router's USB port. Used Cisco Connect to setup the printer, and the print function is working fine.
 
The issue is with the scan function. It appears the default functionality of the router is to only activate the connection to the printer when a print job is fired off. When this connection is active, the scan functionality works fine.
 
Another way to activate the connection to the printer to allow for scanning would be to go through
 
Cisco Connect>Computers and devices>PrinterWhile the process is running (searching for printer), the connection is active as well, and scanning works fine. When the process is closed, scanning no longer works, with an error message stating that communication to the printer cannot be established.
 
Is there a simpler way to keep the connection to the printer active, or some sort of configuration to automatically establish this connection for scanning?

Linksys Wireless Router :: HP Veer Won't Connect To EA3500

Mar 19, 2013

I have an HP Veer Webos phone. Since I upgraded to an EA3500, I haven't been able to connect my phone to the network wirelessly. Today I temporarily installed a WAP54g on the network, and I am able to connect the Veer via the WAP. I spent 45 minutes chatting with Cisco Support today, but didn't resolve the problem. I believe I have the same situation with an HP Touchpad, but can't say the problems are identical, since its battery is down right now.

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA3500 - Set Parental Controls On It?

Mar 13, 2013

I need to set parental controls on a device EA3500. Problem is that the device is listed under the same icon as a device I don't want restricted.  If I click on the icon it lists one MAC as wireless 1 and the other as wireless 2 but still as one device name.  One is an Xbox (the one I want restricted) and the other is a PC on Windows 7.  I can only set up parental controls by icons/device names, not MACs and MAC filtering is a pain as I have to add and remove it everyday at a certain time.

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA3500 Why Some Devices Won't Connect

Mar 30, 2013

Just installed a Linksys N750 (EA3500) router (WAN - LAN setup). I settled both band networks : 2.4 Ghz and 5Ghz with different SSID and different WAP2/WAP personal mixt.  WHile some devices will show both networks correctly, I'm facing issues with the 5Ghz band and wonder if this is sigh of some kind of failure:
 
- while my iPad offered both signals and let me set the 5 Ghz band, it is showing weak signal and stall on loading webpages; as soon as I instead put it on the 2.4Ghz band, (standing at same location of course), everything runs smoothly, excellent signal. 
 
- I have a Mac Mini and PS3 side by side same location.  The Mac Mini seems to works flawlessly under both bands, 2.4 or 5  - excellent signal. However, the PS3 fails its connexion test and states that signal is not perceptible on the 5Ghz. But connect as a snap on the 2.4 Ghz band.
 
- Got on and off 5Ghz signal on a laptop; connected to 2.4Ghz, everything runs perfect.
 
- iPhones 4S : I don't even see the 5Ghz SSID, but I get both the 2.4 and Guess account..So I'm tempted to conclude that some devices just can't follow the pace (??) to connect on 5Ghz..

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA3500 Dropping Itself Several Times A Day?

Sep 20, 2012

I have an EA3500 that I installed recently to replace an old NetGear Router, everything works fine like a charm and suddenly is like the router goes down, both wired and wireless connections go down, no connection at all to the router, no internet, no nothing, the power stays on, but you can see the Leeds on the back blinking like when you do a reboot, then after a couple minutes everything comes back again, till the next drop...it happens several times a day, sometimes 3 to five times in an hour, some other times just happen 2 or 3 times a day... I have tried everything possible, changing the settings, factory defaults, firmware upgrade and roll back, MTU, different channels, even different power outlets to no avail.I wonder is I have a lemon, the worse part is I can't return to the store since the UPC code is gone (rebate) and links says they can't take it back as RMA.

Linksys Wireless Router :: New EA3500 With Self Hosted Web Server?

Dec 26, 2012

I was using a wrt54g previously, and host my own webserver, including my own DNS server. I used port forwarding to forward the web traffic to that computer. Well my family got me a new EA3500 as my old one would continually stop working.Since changing router when I duplicate the port forwarding setup from old to new, all the web browsing dies. My web server has now been offline for a few days, and I'm frustrated beyond belief now. I know I've seen the previous posts saying to never forward port 53 (DNS), but I'm at a loss why I could with my old router, but it's now the end of the world with this new one.
