Linksys Wireless Router :: Use WRP400 For Voice Only
May 20, 2012
I recently moved to a cable ISP and unfortunately had to also change routers in order to take advantage of the VoIP feature (analog phone) they provided me with.Now, the new router, the WRP400, is very limited feature-wise compared to the custom flashed WRT54GL I used to use with my DSL provider.Now the WRT54GL does not have any FXS ports, so I obviously can't just plug my cable modem to the WRT54GL. Therefore, I was hoping to achieve a setup similar to this one:Cable modem => VoIP Router w/ voice only (WRP400) => "Main" router (WRT54GL w/ Tomato)Is there a way to bridge the WRP400 successfully with the WRT54GL keeping only the voice feature enabled on the VoIP router while the WRT54GL takes care of the rest? (Wireless, WAN, port forwarding, etc)
I want to upgrade the firmware for the router wrp400 , i am asked Username & Password in order to update the firmware.I tried admin/admin does not work. I tried to reset the router, same thing, I have no ISP user and password.
My Linksys WRP400 router has stopped working. power led blinks red and orange - phone led 1 and 2 light green - wifi connection not work - ethernet LAN connection not work - ethernet WAN connection not work - router now work in bridge mode - factory reset using Reset switch not work - connected analogue phone not work I try dump traffic using ngrep on LAN and WAN port but no packet comes from the router.
I had bued a WRP400-G2 device today and found 3 problems here (after upgrade firmware to latest). But biggest problem is that I can't open a bug case in TAC becouse I bued device from retailer and have only one year warranty. Is it possible to contact technical support of Cisco by email or Web site? It will be a problem to contact cisco support by call.
This router support bridge mode, but i'm unable to configure it. There's no such option in the web configuration page, but the manual says that disabling nat activates automatic routing mode. Unfortunately all i get when i disable nat is to be unable to reach any wan address.
By watching the generated routing table on the wrp400 (when in NO nat mode) i see that 0.0.0.0 is correctly set up to use the external border router, but any incoming packet from the wrp400 lan port isn't routed there.
Also, i don't get any dhcp from the external router, this means the wrp400 is blocking it.
how to set up a bridge mode between wan and lan ports
I have a WRP400 VOIP Cisco router.... The WRP400 seems to hamper my ability to access outside the network over time. If the router is plugged in for an amount of time, my broadband (35mb UPC) gradually tapers down to nothing. As soon as I restart the router, my broadband access shoots back up to the full 35mb.I've been on to UPC numerous times, they say their connection is stable & good..... must be router.I have a DVR (security camera system) that when plugged into the WRP400, seems to exacerbate the issue. It normally takes the router two few days to hamper internet access.when I plug-in the DVR internet access goes from 35mbps to 0.5mbps in a few hours. I've update the Firmware to the latest Version: 2.00.26.
On several calls i noticed that the outgoing audio stops for 5..15 seconds randomly. I'd say it happens on an average of every 5 minutes.
When this happens, i can see that the value after "Call1 Packet error:" increases by one. Why just a wrong packet may stop the outgoing audio for so long? i've much more packet losts (about 3%) but they give me no problem at all.
Since a little and cheaper Handytone HT502 gave me intermittent audio too, but the effect was much better (audio still stops, but in a second it comes back), i wonder if is there something i can do by tweaking the WRP400 settings, I'm still using firmware 1.01.00.
I bought a WRT54GP2 independently of my ISP/VOIP provider so I could have an all-in-one router. As my provider would not provision the VOIP side I disabled provisioning and set up the voice settings myself and it works perfectly.I was reviewing the VOICE settings side and under the SYSTEM tab there were settings for Administrator Password and User Password. Researching on the Net it seems these should be set to strong passwords which I did but then found trouble moving from the main part of the router configuration to the VOICE tab as I would get a message about a non-admin account not being able to administer the voice side. Via clearing the cache on my browser and restarting the router/browser I managed to get back into the VOICE config tab and immediately removed those two passwords. Seeing the settings under the SYSTEM tab it looked to me that the router was open on the WAN side on port 1880 so I disabled the web server and web server admin options thinking these were only related to the WAN side not the LAN side.
I now find out that I can no longer access the VOICE tab as the router immediately disconnects from the browser.I've tried contacting my ISP/VOIP provider but they seem to be unable to assist and have had no luck with Linksys support either as all they want to do is pass it back to my ISP/VOIP provider saying they are the one to reconfigure it but I'm the person who did the config (and also shot myself in the foot incidentally). If I could only reset the voice side of the router back to factory defaults I would be fine but, unlike the WAG310G, there is no option to do this, just the option to reset the WAN/LAN/Wireless side to factory defaults. I've tried pressing the reset button for 30s and reset via the menu option but neither reset the voice side. Surely there must be some way to do this even if it involves opening the box up and connecting a jumper or something.
MY voice conversation on magic jack breaks up when I download a movie to my direct TV. I have a Belkin F9K1103V1, N750Db. I'm not using WiFi, Im wired to ports on back of Belkin.
I need to configure two voice-enabled cisco routers, each one has an analog FAX machine. The routers are connected with a serial connection. In the end, the faxes should be able to fax to each other.The fax uses RJ-11 and I've established that I will be configuring FSX ports. (These ports are used for analog devices such as telephones, modems, and fax machines). I am unable to find a single site that gives information about specifically configuring fax machines.
I have a cisco2811 router and i want to convert or make it to be a voice enabled router? it has a current image/ios of (C2800nm-adventerprisek9-m), version 12.4(5a).
Since I am new to VOIP and am getting confused with the responses online on how to connect to a commercial phone system I thought I would ask here. I have a small voice router (1751) running CME with 2 Cisco 7940 phones. I would like to hook it up to a commercial line, but not sure how to. What specific card will I need for my voice router to connect it to the outside world (FXO right)? I see where they talk about hooking it up directly to the LAN line, another using a commercial phone system, and then the others using a PBX,ect... So confused to say the least. I assume I need an FXO port to connect to the POTS, but not sure if there is anything else I’m missing in the setup...
When I try to configure a voice port (like voice-port 0/0/0:15) after doing a conf t, it gives me an error of invalid input detected.We are using a Cisco 3945. We have successfully setup 3825 and 2851 in the past.
We're having some numbers ported over to us and we'd like to verify that we are in fact receiving all of the numbers at our SIP gateway. Since we have been getting more and more activity on this router, I'm becoming more concerned about using certain debug's for fear that the router maxes out CPU and drops.
What the best debug command would give me this information with minimal impact on CPU? In the past I've used 'debug ccapi inout' and a couple of others similar to that. With so much activity though sometimes it bombs the router. Also I am logging to the console directly, maybe there is a better method with less CPU impact. I just don't want to have to go back and forth to look for stuff 50 times either if I write out to a file or something, it could work though I suppose.
We have a 2800 router which is configured as a Voice Gateway. For some reason, yesterday we started getting DFM notifications like the one below. We seems to get an active messages every few 10mins or so, then a few minutes later the message will clear before becoming active again...
EVENT ID = 0009NK2 ALERT ID = 0000QTM TIME = Tue 21-Jun-2011 16:06:50 BST STATUS = Active SEVERITY = Critical MANAGED OBJECT = XXXXVG1 MANAGED OBJECT TYPE = Routers.
We have some point-to-point sites linked with our HO with 10-30mbps speed. We have provided DID telephone lines to these sites as well.
We want to limit the bandwidth with 1mb bandwidth only and also make sure that the voice traffic (DID telephone lines) gets the priority over all other traffic even if they are utilitizing the 1mb link completely. We have some Cisco 1841 routers that we are planning to configure on the main uplink on each of these sites. how to give the priority to the voice traffic yet limiting the bandwidth to 1mb.
I'm trying to configure QoS on my 877 router to give priority to voice packets. However, when I do a show policy-map for WAN interface, all the classes show 0 bps. When I do a show int for the WAN interface, I get the correct bandwidth util.
This 877 is meant for a home network. I'm running a Cisco 7970 phone using phone-proxy back to my HQ. I'm also shaping the traffic.
Here is my config
Class Map match-any EF (id 1) Match ip precedence 5 Class Map match-any class-default (id 0) Match any
We have installed a VWIC3-2MFT card on a Cisco 3945 voice gateway but the router doesnt detect the card. out put is as below;
Router Version ============ System image file is "flash0:c3900-universalk9-mz.SPA.150-1.M.bin" Cisco CISCO3945-CHASSIS (revision 1.0) with C3900-SPE150/K9 with 980992K/67584K bytes of memory.
I have to configure router 2811 for Data and Voice network.However I have only one Fast Ethernet interface. [code]
what else do I need to configure on switchport on which Avaya phones are connected.And is there any extra command, i need to configure on the router and 2950 switch.
We have two MPLS circuits managed by two different suppliers, one carries VOICE the other DATAWe are to decommision the VOICE MPLS and have increased the bandwith of the DATA MPLS to carry VoIP traffic too.
At both of our sites A & B ,devices connected to the LAN have a default gateway of the VOICE providers Cisco 2600 router , which then goes into the LAN switching. (see diagram)So what I am trying to achieve is toto simply replace these 2600 routers from the VOICE MPLS provider with our own so we dont have to change the default gateways at both sites. Testing
Our Cisco 2600 routes are plugged into each LAN switching environment with two subinterfaces configured, one for voip and the other for dataThe problem is from the router and respective subinterfaces we can get to the other sites destination without any issue, but if for example a user is at site A with Ip address 10.16.11.12/16 they cant ping the VOIP subnet at site B 10.3.11.0/24. But If a ping is issue from the Site A test router then the 10.3.11.0/24 subnet is reachable but only on the 10.3.12.0/24 configured subinterface.So i guess what Im saying is 10.16.0.0/16 from the LAN needs to be able to get to 10.3.11.0/24Note at site A 10.16.0.0/16 & 10.3.12.0/24 can communicate no problem and at site B 10.207.0.0/16 & 10.3.11.0/24 can communicate no problem.We are using IP routing, should we be using route-maps?
I have recently purchased a srp527w and I am thinking to buy a Cisco wireless ip phone 7921g. Does it works with the srp527? Do I need another device betweenn my srp527 and the ip phone? or it just works by configuring the voice vlan. If so, what phone would it work, the analog or the ip phone?
We want to use a Cisco 861 Ethernet router to link our LAN's data and voice segments together (each on separate switches). Our switches are not Layer3 so routing over them is not an option. We only use the default VLAN1 on both switches.There is a data segment 192.168.1.0/24 and a voice segment 192.168.150.0/24, each with it's own internet/WAN access (internet for the data lan and SIP provider for the voice lan).
- I want to make the Cisco 861 the default gw on both segments, but they should only route traffic destined for the other segment to each other and route all other traffic to their segment's designated internet connection. I don't want the Cisco to do any NATting and there's no need for firewalling either.
I have a high school wireless environment that was installed approximately 5 years ago with 1242AG APs. The install was done based on 2.4GHz coverage everywhere, not for 5GHz or for good density. The high school uses wireless cisco 7921G phones for all the staff and teachers. The issue we're running into is over the last couple years more and more students are bringing in iPhones and android phones that can connect to the public wireless ssid. And with the increase of these wireless devices in the classroom, we've been experiencing more and more call dropped on the wireless phones. I have collected information on number of clients on specific APs that are in the area of most of the dropped calls. At times some of these APs have a total of 40 clients associated to them, over half of which are on the public ssid. I have thought about putting all the phones on to the 5GHz radios, but the implementation of the wireless was only for 2.4GHz coverage, so we have coverage gaps on the 5GHz network. We're thinking about adding more APs but the budget isn't available yet for that, so we're looking at what we can do to make this better for the time being.
Main questions are:
Is there a best practices number of max clients per AP in a wireless voice network?
Are there any other options for preventing dropped calls on the wireless?
I should mention I have already looked over the VoWLAN Troubleshooting Checklist at the link below and made the necessary changes to assure we are following the items on the checklist as close as possible.URL
We have a problem when I call bettween two 7925 in same SSID, VLAN voice. They cannot hear each other. The SSID and LAPs are in Flexconnet. From desk phones there are no problem and betwen one deskphone and one wireless phone there no problem too.
We have a UC500 with 3 access points AP541N. We need to move around the building so we use wireless voice with 7925G phones. All works fine except when the phone needs to change from one AP to another. We lost connection for a small interval of time and then resume normal operation.
Is there any additional configuration to be done on the 5508 WLC for Wireless Laptop / Voice Roaming? I tested with Wireless IP Phone and found some blankness in voice , whereas i have other access point nearby , which wasn't switching over easily .
I just recently bought a ASA5505 with a licence that can have 2 WebVPN Peers, I would like to have a phone to my CCME server as one of the options within that web-vpn thingy.
