Linksys Wireless Router :: EA4500 - Computer Would Not Get Valid IPv6 On LAN
Apr 18, 2013
Lets get this straight, right off! If I plugged my computer directly to my Comcast Modem, IPv6 works fine on the { url } So I do not think any of this problem is related to my computer
I bought a EA4500 Router so I would be ready for IPv6, and also wanted N as well as the storage USB port. When I got the router, it came I guess with the original release firmware. It looked "Classic", but the box said Smart. I did the firmware upgrade. I could not get a IPv6 from Comcast. IPv4 worked fine.
I then changed to the latest "Classic: firmware, and all started to work. So I decided to try Smart again. Same thing, no IPv6 from Comcast. After being on chat for I think close to 2 hours today and getting no where, I did a reset to start at scratch again. I then got a IPv6 from Comcast. Many moons ago, it was a real hassle to switch devices hooked to a cable modem. At least here you had to power cycle the modem, so I have always cloned my wired Desktop MAC. So when I put it back in, I lost IPv6 from Comcast. Turned off MAC cloning, and I got the IPv6 again. So it looks like there is a bug in the Smart Firmware and MAC cloning since it worked OK with Classic firmware. OK, I could live with no cloning since the issues of yesteryear don't seem to be there in getting a IP from the cable modem.
Then for what ever reason, my computer would not get a valid IPv6 on the LAN from the router. I got some IP, but no Gateway. I tried everything I could think off. And again, plugging the computer directly to the cable modem, IPv6 worked fine. So something is just not right with this router as far as I am concerned.
Also, it seems like navigating through the menus on a local connection (192.168.1.1), I constantly got a message to wait popping up on the screen, for many seconds. If I had no Internet connection it would take forever on some things.
I have spent many hours on this, and am just giving up and going to look at another brand product. I don't need or want the "Smart" functions anyway.

No changes made but router will lose all information for IPv connectivity. I have paid twice to support to fix this issue and it still occurs every few months. I tried rebooting router, and doing an IP Release/ Renew and router does not get IP address.

My ISP (OTEnet, Greece) offers IPv6 connectivity in the form of dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 with the requirement that the router supports DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation for establishing an IPv6 connection.Using other routers (Cisco 887W, DrayTek Vigor2130n), I have established an IPv4/IPv6 connection but I am unable to do so with the EA4500. As a matter of fact, when I have the "IPv6 - Automatic" option enabled the router not only cannot obtain an IPv6 prefix from the ISP but it gets stuck in the connection attempt and never obtains an IPv4 or an IPv6 address. I have to disable the IPv6 option in order to simply establish an IPv4-only connection without problems.So, my questions are:
1. Does the latest (2.1.38.38880) firmware support dual-stack IPv6 and DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation?
2. If the router cannot negotiate an IPv6 connection why is it not establishing an IPv4 connection only but gets stuck in the process?

I have a virtual machine running in my desktop which connected on the gigabit lan port on EA4500 with firmware 2.0.37.What I want to be able to do forward a port that came from an external ipv4 address to the ipv6 address and a different port to my virtual machine (to remote desktop port 3389).The reason I want to convert the traffic to ipv6 is because virtual machine is running vpn and is not reacheable through ipv4 (unless bunch of routes are setup and things get complicated etc). I verified my phsical server and virtual server get both ipv6 ip addresses through ipv6 tunnel from comcast. Without tunneling I could not get ipv6 setup using automatic mode with comcast, it simply did not work for some reason.

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.

I just now installed a new EA4500 Router. It installed itself automatically without a problem, by running the setup CD. No devices other than my hard wired computer and modem are connected yet.
When I went into Start > Cisco Connect to look around and check it's version, etc., I immediately got a "There's an important update for your router" notice. My concern is not wanting to install The Cloud at this time (although I wouldn't rule it out later). There has not been a trace of it so far.
I currently have Firmware Version: 2.0.36.126507 and Software Version: 1.4.12100.0. What this Important Update may be? Is it the "dreaded" Cloud? I'd rather avoid the whole rolling back to pre-Cloud issue for now, if possible.

Since the EA4500 automatically updates via the Cisco Connect Software, does a copy of the firmware file get saved to the local computer?

I'm trying to change my wireless router from WRT54G which been using for more than 5 years to a WRT54GC which I got from my friend. I clone every entry from WRT54G to the new one, even MAC address. Below is what I captured from the old router WRT54G when it connected through PPPoE
Login Type : PPPoE Login Status : Connected IP Address : 114.91.200.128 Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.255 Default Gateway : 124.74.12.242 DNS 1 : 180.168.255.118 DNS 2 : 116.228.111.18 DNS 3 : MTU : 1492 from the web admin interface, I can ping and traceroute yahoo.com, so can I browse any website from my PC.
and here is what I captured from the new router WRT54GC when it connected through PPPoE
Connection Type: PPPoEIP Address: 180.158.83.182Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0Default Gateway: DNS1: 180.168.255.118DNS2: 116.228.111.18 from the web admin interface, I can ping and traceroute yahoo.com, but I cannot browse any website from my PC.

I have a new Windows 7 laptop which cannot connect to internet through my WRK54G Linksys router. Other laptops can connect through the same router, and the same laptop has connected through other routers. The laptop has it's TCP/IPv6 and TCP/IPv4 internet protocols set to get addresses automaticaly.
ipconfig shows that the IPv6 autoconfiguration address is 169.254.28.183 instead of 192.168.1.XXX. I tried the ipconfig/release and ipconfig/renew commands, as recommended by the knowledge base, but got the following error message: No operation can be performed on wireless network connection 2 while it has its media disconnected.

The last few days I had been getting the error that: "Local Area Connection doesn't have a valid IP configuration" whenever I reboot my computer. I have to power cycle the router before I can get back the internet connection. Checked on the web and tried various solutions which did not work. So I tried using various firmwares for the WRT160N V2 like V2.03 Build 7 and Build 9. Still did not work. Finally reverted back to my old and trusted FW2.02 Build 8. And this seemed to improve the situation. However, the error will still appear from time to time though not as frequently.

I am setting up a new E4200 modem, and have not been able to use the wired connection. The Windows 7 diagnositic on all three computers tells me "Local Area Connection, doesn't have a valid IP configuration."Model: E4200v1..I am using a new E4200 router, along with a new SE1500 5-port switch and a new SE2800 8-port switch.I am using a wired network that consists of two desktop computers, a laptop computer, a network printer, three Direct TV recorders, two Roku streaming video players, a BluRay player, and an XBox gaming console.Here is what I have done so far.
1- I can bypass the router to establish a direct wired connection to the cable modem. This works to access the internet. It establishes a new wired connection called Network 2.
2- I can access the internet using the wireless connection to the router. It shows a valid IPv4 address.
3- With all cables in place, all the lights are flashing on the router and on the computers.
4- I had changed cables and swapped cable ends.
5- Using the wireless connection, I can access the router home page (192.168.1.1). It shows valid IP addresses.
The problem is that my old Linksys BEFSR81 stopped working, with the same eror message for the LAN connection, "Local Area Connection, doesn't have a valid IP configuration."How often does the WAN port go bad? On both a five-year old BEFSR81, and a brand new E4200?

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?

Our internet provider has no intention of providing a IPv6 DNS so I have a crippled at best service. We live in an area where our only option is through satellite service, so changing providers in not in the cards, yet.
If I "Disable" the DHCP Sever, the setup menu provides a method for me to force feed up to three Static DNS addresses, all with IPv4 addresses.
There are several locations that provide "free" DNS service, but how does one verify the security of such sites? Does Cisco keep track of the status of this kind of service or am I on my own? Cisco seems to endorse two DDNS services, but for home use, the extra charges seem otherwise unnecessary, and do not yet address the IPv6 question.
The first few that I have investigated that do provide IPv6 service also provide their addresses in IPv6 format. The E4200 menu does not seem to allow me to do that.
Am I going to be forced to live with crippled IPv6? I have already discovered a software product that has failed since changing routers, but works if I take my laptop to a particular WiFi location.

So I've realized that my parental controls were being ignored by the computers, at first I figured my son had found a work around to by-pass. But reading through the forums today, I've found that IPv6 being enabled might be the cause of my issue. So I'm currently sitting at work and connected to my router remotely, but for the life of me, can't see where to disable this option. Using the Smart Wi-Fi interface, closest I can get is "Connectivity, Internet Settings, IPv6 but everything is grayed out and no option to edit this.

IPV4 IP addresses will be running out in less than a year and I wanted to know, will there be a firmware update for WRT120N to support IPV6?
Also, if I have to buy another router to support IPV6, I'm going to buy a D-Link. It's nothing personal, I just find it absolutely idiotic that a router that supports wireless-N doesn't support IPV6. You have to ask your self, how does the standard IPV6 spec thats a few years old not make it to the final product of a router, but a non-standard wireless-N spec implementation somehow got the O.K....?

Region : Ireland
Model : TL-MR3420
Hardware Version : V2
Firmware Version :
ISP :
I have my router updated with the latest firmware and I'm pretty sure all the settings are correct but I'm only getting a max transfer rate of 144Mbps. I know this because I use InSSIDer 3 to analyse my wifi network etc. I stream movies over my network and while DVD quality movies play fine, HD movies tend to freeze and buffer a lot. I have the router's channel width set to 40Mhz, so I know that's not the problem. Strangely, I also use a Netgear wifi extender with the MR3420 and it's max rate is 300Mbps.

Have a v2 E1200. Connect with PPPoE to ISP. IPv4 works fine. With firmware included on router, 2.0.01, it would receive a /64 of IPv6 from the ISP. This /64 would show up under 'status' / 'local network'. Although it did not seem to advertise this space to PC's on my network so I was unable to use it. I updated firmware to 2.0.04. Now it does not even pick up the IPv6 /64 at all.
Anyone have PPPoE and IPv6 working? Anywhere I can download 2.0.01 to try it again?
Is there a model of router that actually works with IPv6?

I just upgraded my old WRT54G to a E4200v2 with firmware 2.0.36.126507. I installed it using the Cisco Connect CD. At first it seemed OK, but then I noted that I cannot open (or takes forever) many websites, in particular those requiring Adobe Flash Player to view. In addition, it appears that access IPv6 Internet or sites is impossible, even though IPv6 is enabled in the GUI. Is there anything I am missing in the configuration/set up of the router?

I have a Swann Communication security camera system with their DVR8-4000 hooked to an IPv4 router, connected to the Internet using the new HughesNet Gen4 service. The Swann DVR wired to my router requires a static IP address. HughesNet Gen4 is implemented with IPv6 and I am told that it does not accommodate an IPv4 type static address.
I have discussed the issue with both company’s technical support. HughesNet Gen4 reps recognize the issue and may support static addressing in the future, but not now. Swann reps will not modify their implementation because of the relatively small Gen4 market. The Swann rep suggested that replacing my IPv4 router with an IPv6 router might resolve the “static IP address” issue.I am looking at several Linksys IPv6 routers including the EA4500 SMART WiFi Wireless Router N900, but know too little about IPv4, IPv6 and router/static addressing to proceed unassisted.
1) can I implement a static address with an Linksys IPv6 router cdonnected to Gen4?
2) Which Linksys routers offer IPv6 support?
3) How does one go about setting an IPv6 static address using HughesNet Gen4 on a Linksys router?

i have my Cisco E4200 set up with a 6rd tunnel. the tunnel seems to work fine for the most part. i can ping ipv6.google.com and get a response.however, i cannot ping the addresses of the IPv6 Tunnel ends from within my network. If i run a ping from outside the network, i can ping the IPv6 address of the server end, however, i cannot ping the E4200's end of the tunnel. is there a specific option that needs to be set? i have allowed ping so that my IPv4 address is pingable, am i missing something for IPv6?

I purchased a Linksys EA3500 about two months ago, brought it home and set it up with my DSL provider and everything was great, until sometime last week, and since then my download speeds have just plummeted to basically nothing. I did some troubleshooting but I cannot seem to find what the issue is. I have checked all the cables etc, and I know that it is definitely something with the router itself..My current Speedtest.net speeds are as follows (I am paying for a 5mb connection) with the EA3500.Ping of 15ms Download speed of .67mbps, Upload speed of .60mbps.When I remove the router and hook straight to the DSL modem I get the following results.Pink of 12ms Download speed of 4.89mbps, Upload speed of .60mbps
- I have tried to reset the router both by holding the reset button and through the configuration application.
- I have enabled and disabled wireless to see if that was slowing things down
- I have plugged in my old WRT54G and I get the 12ms, 4.89mbps,.60mbps results on it (so I know its the EA3500)
- I tried putting the computer in the DMZ
- I have changed the ports that the computer is plugged into
- I have disabled and enabled IPV6 on both router and network card
- Firmware version - 1.1.38.134141

I set up the IPv6 on EA2700 (running firmware v1.1.39), and all the wired clients can get an IPv6 address, assigned by the router, without issue.However, all the wireless clients seem to unable to get an IPv6 address. If I connect a laptop to the router both wirelessly and with an ethernet cable, then the ethernet NIC gets an IPv6 IP but not the wireless NIC.

I flashed the firmware and the ipv6 automatic is on disabled and I cannot set it to enabled.the 6rd tunnel option I can change but that has not effect- in fact from what I looked up it seems to be something used by some cable providers.hate to have to reset the router to factory defaults and then reset the network up - just to see if i can get the option to set IPV6 auto to enabled.
