Linksys Wireless Router :: Unable To Set 5ghz 80 Mhz Channel Width On EA6500
Mar 5, 2013
My desktop pc has an Asus PCE-AC 66 PCI card (supports up to 1300 mbps wifi) and is only 5m or so away from the the EA6500 router without any obstructions - yet i cannot connect at 1300 mbps AC wifi. On the EA6500 router, i have selected 'mixed' as network mode under 5ghz (since i have some other devices which connect on wifi N on 5ghz) but if i select channel width as 80mhz, i have issues connecting to the 5ghz network on the desktop pc. The desktop briefly connects and under status it says lan speed as 1.3gbps but then it disconnects and i can't connect again. If i select channel width as 'auto' then no problems, the desktop can connect but lan speeds are only 400-600 mbps. why i cannot connect at 1300 mbps?
What's the point for two options, auto or 20 mhz only? there is no third option so if you choose auto its still 20 mhz am i right?BTW i had to change channel width to 20 mhz only because under auto the speed was horrible.
EA6500 5GHz band only four channels (36,40,44,48), the lack of 149,153,157,161 channel, firmware Ver.1.1.28.146072, how to add 149,153,157,161 channels?
EA6500 5GHz band only four channels (36,40,44,48), the lack of 149,153,157,161 channel, firmware Ver.1.1.28.146072,how to add 149,153,157,161 channels.
I've recently purchased the E2500, done the setup but am facing some issues.I'm unable to see the 5GHz channel SSID, I can only see the 2.4GHz channel SSID.Have tested all the laptops and devices at home and all can't see the 5GHz channel.The list of devices are:
a) iPhone 3GS b) iPhone 4G c) iPhone 4GS (some sites says it doesn't support, some says it does, I'm confused as a result) d) Samsung laptop e) Dell laptop f) Momo11 Little Bird Edition tablet (Made in China [MIC]) g) No name MIC tablet
Secondly, is there any tips / tricks to tweak the modem to increase the internet speed?
I got new cisco aironet 1262n Dual band Access-point running IOS version 12.4(23c)JA .my question is does this access-point support 40 MHz channel width on the 2.4 Band on any IOS version as the command "Channel width" under interface dot11radio 0 allow only 20 MHz
I have an E3000 Dual Band. On my 5Ghz channel, I can select Auto(DFS) or I can manually select a channel.First of all, what does the DFS stand for? My 2.4 GhZ channel only has Auto, not Auto(DFS).
Second, when I select Auto(DFS), my wireless speed defaults to 144Mbps, and is only a single channel (I can see it in the in SSIDer utility). When I manually select a channel, no matter what channel it is, I get 300mbps and I can see that the signal is two channels (for instance, 36+40). Why Auto(DFS) doesn't automatically select the best channel and fastest speed?
recently we purchased cisco aironet AIR-AP1141N-E-K9 standalone model. after configuring it , client has no problem with connection and coverage, but there is problem with thoughput. clients are not able to connect at higher rates, even if i set channel width at 40 mhz, max rate for N capable client device is 54mb.
Is there a "best" channel to use for the router -- e.g. the one that would provide maximum range? I live in a fairly large home and the connection deteriorates in some rooms (not lost altogether, but weaker). Also, what is "channel width"? It's set to 20MHZ, but there is also a setting for Automatic 20/40MHZ. What's the adv advantage of one setting over the other?
Why I cannot go to the 5Ghz band to utilize the superior speeds to transfer files over wireless connection between my computers? I am sure that I am still on the default 2.4 Ghz because
1) The file transfer speeds are pathetic 2) In Wireless Security, if I set the Wireless Mode to disabled for the 2.4Ghz band, Windows shows me "Unsecured Network" even with 2.4Ghz disabled.
I've not been able to connect to my to Linksys E3000 when set to 5GHz "N" only Network mode. Connections to the 5GHz can only be done in mixed mode. I do not need to have A-Mode enabled, so I do not wish to use mixed.
I just bought the EA6500 last week. Had to RMA it on Monday and got the new one today. The issue still persists. The power light is constantly blinking and my computer is unable to obtain an IP address from it. I contacted tech support and was unable to get the issue resolved so I had it exchanged believing it was defective. The new one does the same thing. When I connect my computer to it, the light on my Ethernet port stays a solid orange instead of green like it does for my usual router. The Cisco light is constantly blinking.
I have two USB drives connected to my EA6500. When I use the ip to connect to them everything works just fine, but I cant map the drives. If I access map drives, I cant do anything with the files. It looses connection all the time.
I'm looking at a dual-channel wireless-N router that transmitts at 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, but none of our newer laptops even recognize the 5Ghz channel. Is there a configuration setting to change what frequency laptops can recognize? Looking to put 2 newer modle Toshiba loptops on the 5Ghz channel and leave two other...older systems on the 2.4Ghz channel.
I purchased the EA6500 a few days ago, and when I'm connected to Cisco Connect Cloud I am unable to select Folder Access / FTP Server / Media Server. I click them and nothing happens.Also, the Cisco light on the router keeps blinking.
I have e4200 router set up with different SSIDs for 2.4ghz and 5ghz. My laptop (Lenovo x220 with Intel 6205 wireless adapter) can't see the 5ghz network. I've tried changing the channel for the 5ghz network and it didn't fix the problem.
I am using the E2500 with the Wireless N-pci adapter with dual band, both with the latest drivers / firmware, and I am getting extremely low signal quality and connection speed when connecting to the 5 Ghz network.My computer is no more than 15 feet away from the router, and on the same level. I also verified the connection with the 2.4 Ghz band, and it reads as excellent, and with 54 mps. Using 5 Ghz I get one bar of signal quality (very poor) and no more than 13 mps connection speed.
Wednesday, November 23, 2011I have an Airport Extreme dual-band 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. Each network is has a different name and different password so I know exactly which one I am connected to.On a MacBook Pro, it sees both networks. On a Dell E5520 it will see both networks. On an iPhone 4 it will see both networks. I can connect any of these devices to either network.Just got the Linksys E3000 dual-band 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. Each network is has a different name and different password so I know exactly which one I am connected to.On a MacBook Pro, it sees both networks. On a Dell it will only see the 2.4Ghz network. On an iPhone 4 it will only see the 2.4Ghz network.The Airport Extreme is powered off when using the E3000 so I know there is no interference from this router.E3000 Firmware Version 1.0.04. It's the latest.5Ghz Wireless Settings Network Mode: Mixed Channel Width: Auto (20Mhz or 40Mhz) Channel: Auto (DFS) 2.4Ghz Wireless Settings Network Mode: Mixed Channel Width: Auto (20Mhz or 40Mhz) Channel: Auto (DFS)Did not mess with any other settings. I have rebooted the computer, cycled the router and modem 3-4 times.Nothing works.My question is since both laptops and phone can see the 5Ghz network when running the Airport Extreme, why doesn't the 5Ghz network show up on the Dell and iPhone when running the E3000.
My channel width is Channel Width is 40 mhz only, and my channel is Auto DFS?These seem like good settings?My macbook air sometimes see's my 5ghz wireless SID, and sometimes it connects to it, but i still have no internet access for some reason
I've found a few people with this problem on the internet. I'm using my phat 360 with the black N adapter. e2500 is updated to the latest firmware. But my 360 cannot connect to the 5ghz N, only 2.4ghz g. The wierd thing is that the 5ghz signal gives a better signal than the 2.4ghz.
I just found a thread on google talking about the e4200 and someone mentioned counterfit adapters and problems with them. I did buy this on ebay for a cheap price, so it looks like it was too good to be true. this is a counterfit? It does have a real hologram on it.

If this is real, what else could be the problem. Has the firmware not been updated to support the 360?
EA2700v1 WPS-PIN using 5GHz does not work. This router includes WPS header in its 5GHz beacon and probe response but the router removes the WPS header from them once WPS-PIN starts. There is no problem with WPS-PIN using 2.4GHz.
I have found that if I do not enable the broadcast SSID option on my 5GHz N network that my devices will forget the network and not reconnect on their own. Yet, I have the 2.4GHz G/N network set up to not broadcast my SSID and I have no problems. Why can't I disable my SSID broadcast on the 5GHz N network without these problems?
I ended up with an RMA for a new E4200 ver. 1 and the problem I have still persists. My 2 GHZ WAP gets 65Mbp/s to its connected devices. However, the 5.4 GHZ WAP gets 48 to 54 Mbp/s only.My laptops have Windows 7 and Ubuntu. The WiFi cards are Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200 and 6230. Both fluctuate at 48 - 54Mb/s on the the 5.4GHZ channel.
If I put it on Wireless-N only, the laptops cannot connect. I have tried AUTO detection for mhz and channels. I have tried 40mhz with channels 149 and 161 with no difference.Currently, I am operating both WAPs on different SSIDs to make sure my results are separate.Security for both WAPs is WPA2-Personal with a 10 digit sequence.
I had a e4200,and i used 5ghz wireless.i can't set it to channel 149 or other high channel,my old wireless ethernet card can only support that.make the next version of the firmware can setting 5ghz channel to channel 149、153、157、161.
I purchased the linksys 3200 dual band router recently. I am a huge cisco and linksys supporter so for me this is disappointing. Aside from being slower at times than my previous router I am having issues with the 5Ghz wireless. My issue I am facing is it seems multiple times throughout the day the router somehow drops its 5ghz wireless ssid or its gone..not sure. The only way I can get it back up and running is to reconnect with the Cisco Connect software and re-establish the settings and then reconnect any wireless devices. This seems to happen sporadically and is insanely annoying considering this router should be a big upgrade.
It seems to me the 2.4Ghz band seems to be more stable. I am on the latest firmware for the device and I am using a 5ghz compatible wireless device to connect to it.
I have the E4200. I have two networks, a 2.4 for internet, and a 5gHz for media. I want to have a wired connection to the 5gHz network as some of the media is on my PC. However, it seems I can only have a wired connection to the 2.4gHz network. Is there any way to do this?
I have an E4200v2 configured with an n-only 5GHz network and a mixed 2.4GHz network. Our MacBooks and iPad connect to the 5GHz network, and everything else (iPhones, TVs, etc) connect to the 2.4GHz network. If I disable "WMM" on the QoS screen, nothing can connect to the 5GHz network. Those same devices can connect to the 2.4GHz network, but not the 5GHz. The MacBooks, for example, get a connection timeout error, and the iPad just says "cannot connect." This doesn't seem quite right. I don't absolutely need to disable WMM, but I wanted to make sure that normal WiFi Internet traffic didn't get priority over local wired Mac->AppleTV streaming or voice calls from our wired Vonage box.
I'm using a Linksys E3200 router with a Motorola modem and an elite xbox 360 with a wireless N networking adapter. (Black with two antennas.) I just recently bought this router because I wanted some faster gaming. I wanted to put my xbox on the 5ghz so it would have it all to itself, and have the two laptops share the 2.4ghz. But it won't let me onto the 5ghz band... I can see it on my xbox but it won't connect to it at all. I can get onto the 2.4 band but its at 802.11G, so its not even giving me N there, when it should be. I'm not sure if this is an issue with my adapter or router...I tried finding stuff about it, and it looked like people were blaming it on linksys, but that was almost a year ago. And there was never an update on what happened.I can see the 5Ghz band on my xbox (but only if the channel width is on 20Mhz only), but I can't find it on my computer. Which I find weird. I've been trying a lot of things and I just can't get my laptop to find it. So nothing is using the 5 band, and all my devices are crowded onto the 2.4...Is there some step in setting up the 5Ghz band that I'm missing maybe?
I bought an e4200 about 2 months ago. It worked perfectly for 3 weeks. Then all of the sudden, the 5ghz connection started dropping. Then it's disappeared completely and it would not show up in a network search. Then the 2.4 ghz started going crazy. I reset it completely, that didn't work. I let it sit for half a day, nothing. I sent it back to newegg and got a replacement. When the 2nd one came in, it worked fine until the next day. 5ghz cut out. I called linksys support and they were no luck. I reflashed to 1001 firmware and it mysteriously came back to normal. It was working perfect until today. 3 weeks later. 5ghz went out, and never came back. I reflashed 1001, nothing. Reset, nothing. Flashed the new 1002 firmware, nothing. 2.4ghz still kind of works, but the speed is barely 5mbps. I'm at a freaking loss right now. This was the best performing router I have tried, of all the top models available right now
I have an E4200 V2. The 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands are both enabled and named differently. From what I've read they should both show up in the list of networks when I'm connecting other computers etc? All I'm getting is the 2.4ghz.Everything on the router is working fine as far as I can tell, just can't seem to access the 5ghz band. Maybe I recently upgraded to the Smart WiFi firmware but it's the same situation.The two bands have the same password with two of the first three letters switched on one.
I just upgraded my in-laws network from a WRT54G to a E4200. It's working but I'm getting issues with the 5Ghz end. I've got both SSIDs using different names.. so its clear which I'm connecting to. I have a macbook pro which has N support and can see the 5GHz SSID.The issue I get is that when I connect to the 5Ghz SSID, the laptop cannot ping or connect to LAN clients on the 2.4GHz end. This includes SMB shares, a couple of devices with web interfaces and one machine running a VNC server. There is also issues with Internet access.. but only sometimes.
Say I have two terminals open.. one pinging Google and the other pinging one of the 2.4Ghz clients. If I connect to the 2.4Ghz SSID, I get both pings working fine. If I switch to the 5GHz SSID, the macbook gets its IP address but then the Google ping will work but the internal ping just keeps failing. The Internet issue.. looking back on the above example.. sometimes the Google ping will also fail. The mac also sometimes indicates that there is no Internet connection behind the wireless connection when this happens.
When I connect on the 5Ghz SSID, I get my LAN IP address from the router (ifconfig). I can also see the /etc / resolve.conf correctly populated on the macbook with thge gateway and DNS settings.For now, I'm just going to get them to only use the 2.4Ghz SSID and assume that a later release of the softeware will fix things.. it could be a compliance issue on the Apple/Cisco N support.
What Radio Channels are available for selection when operating the EA4500 in Wireless-N (5 GHz) mode only? I need to find a router that can be specifically set on channel 120 in the UK
I've had the wireless G adapter for a year now, and connections work with both 2.4GHz and 5GHz G connections. I just bought a wireless N adapter (2.4GHz and 5GHz capable), and cannot get an N connection.. On 2.4GHz it connects to G only. And on 5GHz, I don't even see the whole band to connect to it.
I've tried disabling the 5GHz band on the E3000, then even setting the 2.4GHz band to no security. I still get a G only connection.My laptop can connect to 2.4GHz and get 144Mbps N speeds.Router is at latest firmware.I've researched this online, but can't find anything concrete.
