Linksys Wireless Router :: Human Readable Backup Of E1550?
Aug 9, 2012
I have a E1550 with a corrupt config that is acting very wonky lately (shows wrong info in some of the settings and doesn't always save changes). Since it may be the config that is at issue, I don't want to do a backup/resote, rather I plan to do a full factory reset and manully type everything back in.What would be nice is, creating a text based, human readable printout of the config for reference so that I don't have to manually type it all twice (once to save it, once for reentry). PS3 ports, MAC filters, etc. have several entries, and they way the pages are designed it doesn't allow for easy, whole entry, cut and paste.
I've read the various threads on here and tried all the fixes suggested and I still cannot get my PS3 to "see" the USB drive I've attached to my router.I can see it and access the files from a connected computer, but not the PS3.I've tried creating a share with one directory and sharing the entire partition with no luck. I've enabled all the FTP options with no luck. UPNP is enabled. I've tried setting up the guest account with no luck.I've tried restarting, unplugging with no luck either. I also went into the USB drive and reformatted and started all over again.My PS3 can easily see the other computers on the network, but I would like to use the USB port on the router to not have to have a computer running to stream music.Is there another menu location on the PS3 I should be using to locate the USB? Currently I just look under music or video and the other computers are there. Just not the USB.
I have a Linksys E1550. I would like to extend its range by using an old Netgear N600 I have laying around. I know the Netgear can be used as a repeater. I do not know what settings I need to change in my Linksys router to be able to use a repeater.
I replaced a WRT54G2 V1 with a E1550 earlier this week. This router connects a sub-net of our office to the main network of our office. When the WRT54 was in place everything worked without a hitch, but the E1550 keeps dropping us from a server we have on the main network. The WRT54 is back in play until I can figure this out.
how to access an E1550 wireless router's settings and configure it to connect to my wireless DSL router? The DSL phone line is not located anywhere near my TV/DVR/Roku and I'd like to connect them wirelessly to our DSL router. The E1550 is next to the TV/DVR/Roku.
My objective is to use the USB port on the E1550 to share an external hard drive for my family's shared media files.I have moved into a rental home with little cat5 wiring. Internet service is Uverse.Given the wiring situation, I bought a netgear universal dual band range extender which connects wirelessly to the uverse router in another room. My home office equipment (computer, printer) are wired into the netgear. All of that works fine. The netgear is 192.168.1.66. The computer is 192.168.1.128. So, I wanted to add the E1550 into my network. I can see it as an attached device on the Netgear's admin page, but cisco connect and a direct ip http://192.168.1.68 does not resolve. I have the e1550 connected via a lan port on the netgear extender (there is no other option). I have gone from that lan port to the internet port on the e1550. I have done so with a staight Cat5 cable and with what I believe should be a cross-over. In both situations, I see the router via the netgear admin page but can not connect to it. I'd prefer not the hang my usb drive off of my computer because it if gets turned off or reboots due to a MS Windows auto update, it leaves the rest of the house with no shared media during that process.
I have a Linksys E1550 Wireless Router that is fast as can be on the wired connection, getting 30mbs from the cable modem connection. If I switch to using wireless on the same PC, the max connection speed I'll get is 2mbs. I've changed all sorts of settings trying to get this working right, and it still stays at 2mbs.As an additional note, this router was previously working fine at 30mbs on wireless as well, then out of nowhere this weekend, it started running at 2mbs. I went and purchased another of the same model and it is doing the same thing as well.
What is the secret to having this run at it's correct speed, not this slow 2mbs that it is now? I have configured this the same as every other Linksys router I've had in the past, and it is running horribly slow..I'm on the newest firmware as well, have already verified that. The old router was updated to newest firmware as testing to resolve this, and the new router came with it installed already.
I tried to connect to my E1550 router admin page at 192.168.1.1 and I'm not seeing the login page. I'm getting an error. I've always been able to get to the admin page. I'm not sure what changed. I tried changing the IP# and subnet mask of my laptop and I still can't connect. I tried resetting the router to factory defaults.
E1550 not connecting to any Google related sites via Kindle Fire web application (Silk) in Kindle Fire. Other wireless devices working fine from E1550 and all apps in Fire connecting fine.
I have an E1550 less than 1 year old. Lately, I have been losing internet on the AT&T modem. I called AT&T but as part of their diagnostics, I have to plug the modem directly into the PC. I have loaded the latest firmware to the E1550.Lose Internet but wireless connectivity to router exists.Internet light on modem is out (modem is connected to router)Unplug modem and leave off plug in, internet light is still out.Unplug router, plug router back in - no internet connection but do have wireless connectivity to router.Take cable from modem to router and plug directly into PC internet light comes on in modem and I have internet from PC.Take cable from PC and plug back into router .I have internet via wireless.What I can't figure out is what could be happening in router that would impact modem internet connection. I have replicated this at least 3 times. Yes, the modem is a bit old, but since plugging it directly into the PC works, I'm thinking it has to be the router and I cannot figure out why unless there's some sort of electrical thing going on in the router.
I had previously posted about problems with the E1550 not being able to recognize NTFS formated hard drives. After multiple retries and reformats I was finally able to get it to work and was able to backup my system files to that NTFS hard drive.
Now, little more than a week later I setup to run my backup to run again and once again the E1550 is not accessing the hard drive. The same one it had previously acknowledged and allowed me to save to.
The E1550 sees that there is a hard drive out there but all it says is "Detecting..." this does not change.
I need this to be fixed and stay fixed. If it is going to do this every time I turn on the drive to do weekly backups, then I need to get a different wireless router.
I installed a Linksys E1550 wireless router at home and I moved an external storage drive from the old computer (soon to be gone) to the router via the USB port in the router.
I can see the drive and files on the router on both the old computer and the new laptop, but I can't do anything with them. When I look at permissions for any given file it says: "Everyone" has read and execute only. "root" has Full Control, but I can't gain access to the "root" userid. I have gone through the router setup and folder/file properties using the "admin" userid and the router acknowledges that it is there, but it won't allow me to add permissions for the "admin" with "Full Control" to any of the items.
It won't even allow me to add new files, even though I have setup sharing for the entire partition.
So, what I essentially want to do is share the device connected to the back of my router so that I can remotely access it over the internet. Much like the manual says you can do.
But I'm having trouble. I've currently got the port set at 38, but the website never loads.
I may be replacing my e1550 soon and am looking at both the N750 and N900 class devices. While the EA3500/4500 seem to be a really good deal with a lot of bang for buck, I do have one concern...
As I have zero intention of ever using Cisco Cloud Connect, I would need to stick with the Classic firmware. While Cisco did quickly push out a solution to get the routers back to Classic after the initial Cloud Connect deployment fiasco, I cannot seem to find any commitment from Cisco to continue to support the classic interface (other than "“Cisco will continue to support both local and cloud management options for our customers.”). Even more disconcerting is that the current evidence seems to indicate that they are not. [code]
So, while I do understand that many of the updates have been Cloud Connect specific, some of these changes are in fact global/driver updates. As an example, according to the release notes, on June 25, 2012 the EA3500 CCC firmware v.1.1.38 (Build 138143) updated the WiFi driver, apparently the Classic never received this update.
I recently purchased a E1550 that works fine until I tried adding an external USB HDD for storage. The drive is a Western Digital 500MB drive I used to use for backups. Had no issues setting up the share and was able to access it just fine. But a few hours after hooking it up, my wireless devices could no longer connect and I could not access the admin page to see what was wrong. The E1550 was still pingable and my wired devices could still access sites through the router. Cycling power to the router did not work. What did get things working again was removing the USB drive (which killed all wired connections as well) and then cycling power. The E1550 was fine after that.
I may have recently bought an LG NAS (N1T1) and a SAMSUNG SMT S7800 freesat box. The NAS works well on my home network (using Windows 7 Starter), but when the Samsung box is plugged into the network via the RJ45 jack at the rear, it will see the network (ie, it is visible on the screen) but only down to the degree of a symbol. It will not allow me to browse the network - as I was hoping to use this method of getting my DVD collection (most of which is on the NAS) onto the TV. The TV is also an LG - but does not have a network connection at the back. The question is - do I have to do something in the LG NAS setup to make the network readable. Or could the problem be with the Windows 7 Starter edition.
I have a 1.5 TB USB hard drive attached to me E4200. Configuring it so that multiple computers have access and can read and write their files is quite simple. I've followed the instructions and had no difficulty.
My problem is this, after about a week's time has passed any file that has been on the hard drive for more than a week become undeletable. Any attempt to modify it or remove it pops up a message saying I need permission from a specific user (always the user that I am currently logged in as!) to perform the operation on the file.
When this starts to happen, the device is, otherwise, perfectly functional. I will still be able to create new files and delete any newly created files from the drive without difficulty even when those files are in the same directory as the files that the device will no longer let me edit. Examination of the file properties dialog shows that the files that the device refuses to allow me to delete are identical in every way to any new file that I create. Yet newly created files are removable but these older files ... are not.
I'm quickly coming to the conclusion that the HDD mounting feature of the device just doesn't actually work as advertised.
FWIW: all my computers are using Windows 7 with the latest build. I do access the device from these computers wirelessly.
why Windows Backup in Windows 7 pro 64 would not backup over the network to a drive I have connected to the 4200s USB port? Everytime I run it I get a Access Denied error at the end, even though data has been transfered. After about 5 hours of searching both here and Microsoft's website, I just get lots of people with the same issue that hasnt been resolved anywhere consistantly.
I have a WRT54GL v1.1 that has firmware version 4.30.14 build 5 installed(according to the device). The latest version listed on your website is 4.30.13. What does this mean? How do I get a backup of my current version?The device seems to be working fine and the manual I downloaded seems to cover it. I'm on a Mac so I have to set it up manually.
Have an existing befsr41 / westell b90-210015 connection that has been working for years... replaced the befsr41 with a e1550 and cannot connect to the internet. Tried to connect to the modem directly to see how to put into 'bridge mode' but cannot find the right ip address.
Since lion is there for a while, it is still not possible to make a time machine backup on an USB hdd that's connected to the router. is Cisco coming with an firmware update?
When i connect my Seagate Backup Plus Drive to the USB port on my EA3500 the drive becomes available on my network but it never spins down even when not in use. Is there any way to correct this? If the drive spins 24/7 its going to die very fast.
Recently I bought a new router, the Linksys E1550, along with a new computer, an ASUS K53S.Both performed especially well for the first week I had them, along with the wireless on my old desktop computer, but now internet connection speeds slow down to a snail like pace after an hour or two.Normally I would've put it off as bandwidth being taken up by other processes, but as a relatively avid gamer I would notice my ping shooting up to 400-900 ms, which used to be around 60 ms.
Anyway, if I reboot my router my connection speed + ping go back up to normal rates, but after maybe half an hour it'll slow down, ping will be up to 200-300, and then after a longer period of time it'll takes minutes to load web pages and ping will be upwards of 500ms.I've updated my wireless adapter's drivers, etc. all to no avail. This problem doesn't exist when I'm using my laptop outside of my home network, so I think the router is the issue.
I have a problem with the router Linksys RV042, I made a backup of it that contains a file with the extention .exp Now we have buy a new Rv042 made by cisco and the backup file is .config the question is how I convert the .exp file to a .config file so I can Restore the backup in to the new router?
I have finally been able to reconfigure my BEFSR41 V3 Wired Router to properly support my small server environment. I would like to know if there is a way to make a complete Backup of the current configuration that should be restored to the router if it should become "reset" to factory defaults. This happened to me approximately a week ago, and it took several days, a couple of phone support calls, and quite a bit of"grief" and aggravation/frustration before I managed to get everything re-configured correctly. If it had been "Backed up" to a file, I could have restored it and been back up and serving websites in a few hours. Instead it took almost a complete week! Is it even possible to actually backup the router? Or... must I just print each screen to be sure I get it all?
I need some info on how to open an RV042 config backup (.exp) file. I recently had an RV042 that got very wet and it is now dead, and I do not have another on hand. BUT I do have the config Backup that includes the user MAC authentication list that I really need. Is there a way to get this information other than loading into another RV042.
I have a WAG160N and its seems to have reset to factory defaults, no idea why, but when trying to restore the Configuration Backup all I get is "Restore Failure <Unmatched pid>"
at the moment I have a 888 router that works fine, I want to configure backup (I already have configure ISDN backup but the performance it's to poor), and I want to use an other router 887 (that I already have) with adsl.
My idea is to configure the second router as stand alone gateway, and confiure in the first router a "ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 VLAN1 192.168.0.253 100".But I know that this second route is used only in case the interface status of primary route goes down but not in case fault only protocol.
configure a better routing or faulting procedure?
----------------------------------- 888 VLAN1 192.168.0.254 ATM0.1 1.1.1.1 ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 ATM0.1 ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 VLAN1 192.168.0.253 100 ----------------------------------- 887 VLAN1 192.168.0.253 ATM0.1 2.2.2.2 ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 ATM0.1 -----------------------------------
