Linksys Wireless Router :: EA4500 Breaks Bonjour / Zeroconf After A While?

Jan 10, 2013

After some time of usage (typically days), I notice that Bonjour networking degrades. That is, the various Apple computers on my network can no longer see each other via Apple's Bonjour protocol. They can still connect directly using IP addresses however. The only solution seems to be a reset of the router. Are there some detailed logs I can look into to determine what the problem may be? The logs shown in the web interface don't seem detailed enough.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E2000 Bonjour Drops Out

Nov 11, 2011

I have an E2000 router that has an intermittent issue where Bonjour drops out. Suddenly my Apple TV won't see my computers, and my iPad won't see my network printer. This happens whether the Apple TV and computers are connected via wired or wireless interfaces.
 
Restarting the devices does not solve the issue.
 
Restarting the router solves the issue (until it happens again...)
 
My router is version 1.0, with 1.0.04 firmware.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT610N Incompatible With Bonjour

Sep 10, 2009

I read an earlier posting about an issue between SPI on the latest WRT610N Version 1.0 firmware and a user's Apple TV. This pointed me to a "solution" to a perplexing problem I was having.
 
I have 4 machines, 3 connected via WiFi and 1 on one of the wired ethernet ports. I also have 2 Apple Airport Express units for audio streaming as well as 2 iPhones connected wirelessly.
 
Now for the symptoms, which are all new since updating to firmware ver.1.00.03.15:
 
1. The WiFi machines see the Airport Express units and can stream audio to them. However, the iPhone Remote app has trouble staying connected to iTunes running on any of these machines.   A router reboot is a temporary fix, but connection is eventually lost again.
 
2. The wired machine cannot see the Airport Express units, nor can the Remote app pair with iTunes on that machine. It's as though no Bonjour-related functions work. Here, a router reboot also provides a temporary fix, but one that lasts only minutes.
 
Based on that prior post, I disabled SPI on the router and, lo and behold, the wired machine suddenly sees all Airport Express units and can pair with the iPhone Remote app!
 
I was going crazy, verifying that I was not having Windows Firewall issues, that there wasn't an incompatibility with Windows 7 (which I'm running on all), that this wasn't a Homegroup incompatibility of some sort, that Bonjour was up to date, etc. Only turning off SPI fixed the problem entirely.
 
So, Linksys ...Any firmware bug fix in the works for this? Can I safely go back to the prior firmware update without security or function concerns? If so, where can I get my hands on the older firmware file?

WRT610N Version 1.0 running 1.00.03.15

Linksys Wireless Router :: Apple Bonjour Packet Support For WRT110

Jul 10, 2011

Can the WRT110 forward Bonjour packets?  I have one WRT110 running my home wifi network with firmware version 1.0.07.  I've spent hours trying to get my iPad to print to a wireless printer (HP D110a).  I can print and scan from several wireless PC's on the same network but cannot see the HP printer.  I started with the WEP 128-bit and then switched to WPA for a while but no luck so I switched back to WEP.  I've read that other's have had similar problems with this and other Linksys routers.
 
From the iPad point of view I have iOS version 4.3.3.  When I try to Airprint, for example through the Safari web browser, I see no printers available.  I've tried many apps all with the same problem.

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA3500 / OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion Breaks Cisco VUSB?

Aug 3, 2012

The latest Mountain Lion (OSX 10.8) update somehow broke the Cisco VUSB software. I downloaded and installed Mountain Lion yesterday, and now the VUSB software is not working correctly. When I try to connect to my printer, an error appears saying the connection failed, but the dashboard shows it's connected. When I try to print, the printer is shown as unavailable. I have Cisco VUSB version 1.0.0 for OSX and the EA3500 Router.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Guest Access Breaks If E1200 Set Up As Bridged Wireless

Sep 23, 2012

I want to set up an E1200 as a wireless access point for guests, and ordinarily I'd be happy to connect it LAN-to-WAN and have it create its own subnet, but I need to connect one office PC to it also because connecting the E1200 to the main gateway displaces that office PC from the last Ethernet port on the main router.
 
So I disabled DHCP on the E1200 and connected it LAN-to-LAN.  The modem is at a fixed, non-configurable address of 192.168.0.1/255.255.0.0 and the main router is at 10.0.0.1/255.255.255.0.   I set the E1200 to a static IP of 10.0.0.12/255.255.255.0.The E1200's primary wireless connection works fine.  The guest access connects, but it does not prompt for a password and web pages generate a "failed to load" sort of message.I temporarily connected the E1200 as the main router and re-enabled DHCP, though I kept the static IP of 10.0.0.12/255.255.255.0, and in this configuration the guest access worked.  I observed that it connected via 192.168.33.1/guestaccess.cgi (or something very similar to that).

Linksys Wireless Router :: Set Up EA4500 Without A Computer?

Sep 2, 2012

I've looked all over the internet for this and can't find a definate answer. Waited for live chat and got kicked before I got to talk to someone... Just sold my computer and the plan was to buy a newer mac but we've been getting along fine without a computer with just using our iphones. So my question, I see that Cisco has the Connect Express app for the iphone, and I've read about all the features it has like changing settings, router features, etc. But I can't find anything on using the app for the initial set up of the router. I'm currently on an older linksys router (set up before we sold the computer) but it's time for a needed upgrade.

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA4500 Won't Obtain IP From ISP

May 12, 2012

My new EA4500 (fw ver 2.0.36) won't obtain an IP from a Brighthouse TM502G cable modem.  The EA4500 replaced a functioning WRT54G which would obtain an IP from the ISP.  I've tried upgrading firmware and have used both straight-through and crossover cables between the EA4500 & TM502G to no avail.  The EA4500 would issue IPs to it's clients, but not obtain one from it's TM502G.  At the moment, all 3 are daisy-chained together with the old WRT54G in the middle in order to make the EA4500 work.  Both WiFi and LAN ports function in this configuration.

Linksys Wireless Router :: How To Use EA4500 As A Bridge

May 15, 2013

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.

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA4500 Won't Allow Wake On WAN

May 6, 2012

I'm hoping to get this router to allow WOL (actually wake on WAN) but it seems to be blocking the necessary broadcast magic packet even though the settings appear correct. It's not critical, but the reason is this: I'd like to shut down the home PC, but when necessary be able to start it up and use a VPN to access any info I need remotely.
 
From within the LAN, I can verity that WOL works. I have NIC and PCI WOL enabled in the BIOS. The NIC (a Marvel Yukon Gigabit) has WOL enabled as well as "allow this device to wake.." using magic packets under power management. The target machine's local IP is reserved through the EA4500 DHCP Reservation table. Just for troubleshooting, I opened port 9 in windows firewall. More importantly, I have ports 7-9 forwarded to my target LAN address. Single port forwarding... it just has been less reliable (?). I'm using a mask of 255.255.255.128 in order to enable broadcasting on .127 at some point as it seems it must be necessary. Broadcasting on .255 is not possible, despite some workarounds I found on the web. EA4500 firmware is the latest, 2.0.37. I have turned off the multicast filter and the anonymous internet filters under the security tab.
 
So, with these settings, I can WOL from inside the network no problem either targeting the LAN address, or by using a dyndns address. So far so good.With these same settings, I can go to WAN using Depicus or the Cloud Connect Pro app over 4G on an iPad. With all these same settings, WOLsniffer confirms the magic packet still getting through over WAN (obviously using the dyndns address). Even better, I can shutdown the target PC and STILL wake it up within a few minutes from WAN. Let me restate that! Wake up over WAN works, but only for the first few minutes after a shutdown.
 
However, if I wait 20 minutes or so, WOL stops working. If I change the port forwarding to .127, not only does it not work, but WOLsniffer will fail to see the magic packet. My conclusion is that the ARP table is getting purged, which is undertandable, and so the target LAN address isn't in memory. However, frustratingly the EA4500 will not broadcast no matter what settings you use. This limitation is undocumented, and counterintuitive since the software allows you to disable multicast filtering and does not notify you of an error when forwarding to xxx.xxx.xxx.127 with a 255.255.255.128 mask.

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA4500 Disconnects Sometime

Oct 23, 2012

I bought 2 weeks ago a Linksys EA4500 after searching the best Wi-Fi Router all over the net... I choose this cos all over people writed that it was amazing, fast a nd very good coverage all over the house.

Before I had a Buffalo AirStation Dual Band, wich worked perfectly. But since I have several tv and a central NAS whit all films in MKV, I wanted the BEST product for my system, so I choosed Linksys EA4500!

Well, the result is that (when it works it is greate) but sometimes it disconnects and I have to restart it... And second thing that makes me MAD is that the coverage in my house is WORST!! Before my Wi-Fi was present in all the house, now in some parts doesn't work! The position is the exact same of the Buffalo, so it's not a problem of position... I tryed also a router of 40€ and it has a better coverage! How come? how is it possible that a person pays more than 200$ (in Italy it costs 185€) and the result is so BAD??? I'm totaly freak about Linksys now.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Possible To Downgrade New EA4500

Oct 20, 2012

I'm in the process of wanting to upgrade my wireless network but I'm not really agreeing to the Cloud Connect, I don't need to have my settings on the internet. I want to manage everything on my own. I've found the following link on the community to be able to put the classic firmware before the cloud connect feature {URL}.
 
My question now is : If  I buy a brand new EA4500, will it still be possible to downgrade to that firmware? No problem with this one? I'm hoping Cisco will continue to publish bug fixing if any to this classic firmware.

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA4500 2.4GHz Not Transmitting

Apr 3, 2013

I purchased a EA4500 and at first I could connect to it through its default ciscoxxxxx ssid on my laptop which is 2.4GHz only.  I upgraded the firmware using the PC utility and now I can't find the 2.4GHz SSID no matter what settings I do.  I've disabled and enabled it multiple times, changed it to have no security or with security and enabled and disabled it and renabled it.  Nothing seems to work, but for some reason the 5GHz side I can connect to using a 5GHz device.  I've also tried disabling the 5GHz side, but still no 2.4GHz.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Unable To Connect To EA4500

Oct 2, 2012

Just purchased a ea4500 router. Have setup multiple computers/devices already and works great. This computer (HP dv6000 running Win Vista home prem) however will not connect to the internet. It states that it is connected to the router (computer sees router), using the cloud connect app on my iphone i can see this computer, but will not allow access to the internet (local connection only). It works fine with the wired connection. When attempting to use the cloud connect software, it says it was unable to complete the install. Have attempted trying while connected by wire as well, same result. Have deleted the wireless connection and allowed software to find connection, still same result, cannot install. Wireless worked perfectly with previous router (WRT54G) three days ago.

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA4500 Performance Is Very Poor

Aug 24, 2012

I recently purchased an EA4500.  It started out working really well, but recently I noticed that my speed on my iPhone and iPad has dropped significantly.  When I'm in my office where the router is set up, I'm getting around 15 to 20 mb download speed and 5+ upload speed.  When I go to my living room about 40 feet away my speed drops to 1mb down and less than 1 up.  I expect to see a drop in my performance the further away I get from the router, but this seems really unacceptable to me.
