Linksys Wireless Router :: WAG160N - Disable MAC Filter To See Other Computers?
Dec 9, 2011
I have two Windows 7 machines connected by wireless-N to my WAG160N. I frequently find that, although both computers can see the network, they can't see each other. I can temporarily solve this problem by disabling, and then re-enabling, the Wireless MAC filter.
I have a wag160n and would like to disable the wireless and use as a wired ASDL modem. I can't see any obvious settings I'm the setup or buttons on the unit but was wondering if I were to set the DHCP to disable if
I would like to make the server available from outside the network, for example from your house. The problem is that Im not really sure how to do this. I have tried following the steps on the instruction manual in Linksys but they do not seem to work, once I set it up as shown bellow, I loose internet and all hell breaks loose.
Going into further detail, I would prefer if the network is changed as little as possible, by this I mean that all the computers stay networked within eachother and only the server is accessible from the outside the network.
What I need:
I have read around that it is possible to set a 1-1 NAT (I know where it is in the menu but have no clue what it does...) so that I can NAT a single public IP directly to a single private IP (in our case the server). How do I do that? Or maybe an alternative?
I recently bought a Linksys WAG160N v2 model to replace my old setup of a Linksys WRT54GL + ASUS AM604g (ADSL2+ Modem) i had.I've set it up to dial my ISP's PPPoE connection as i had on the previous setup exactly, And it seemed to work at first.But now i've randomly noticed the connection just dies - the router doesn't respond to wireless at all anymore, and connecting from a wired machine shows the PPPoE link died, while the log says something along the lines of "PPPoE connection terminated: transport endpoint not connected" followed by a big number with lots of zeros and :'s. Probably some kind of IPv6 error address? note that i am not using IPv6 myself nor does my ISP provide any such addresses.
I've already upgraded the firmware to latest and installed the newest WiFi drivers on the machine i was connecting from wirelessly (has an Intel Wifi Link AGN5300 module).
I want to add more than 40 mac address filter into my WRT54GL with firm version V4.30.7 but the form to enter the mac address list just limited to 40 mac address register. How do I can add more than 40 mac address list in my WRT54GL ? perhaps we can add the list into WRT54GL like XML file or somehow that can make me add more than 40 mac address register list.
It would be nice if there was a "Note" field next to each MAC field whereby you could specify what device the MAC belongs to. I have quite a few listed but recently I've gotten rid of the devices. I have to go through all my current devices, not them in another program, and then remove the ones that are no longer needed.
The Wireless Client List doesn't capture all the names so that's not what I'm looking for.
Also, it would be great if the "Note" would tie into the Parental Controls so that I know exactly what device I'm choosing. It currently lets you select from the Wireless Client List, but the list doesn't have all the Client Names populated.
So, one, is this feature available (or something similar) and two, if not, please take this into consideration as a useful feature for a new version down the road.
1.) when making changes and restarting the router I am unable to get web pages (wired port or wireless) or web response from the router, despite re-entering the URL (192.xxx.x.x). I *DO* get a dialtone (VoIP). To get router restarted I have to get my lazy arse up and cycle power to the router. Like I said, a nuisance.Configured for WPA2 Personal security with MAC Wireless Filtering (9 MACs)
2.) Adding a 10th wireless device to the filter table and the MAC 10: becomes duplicated in MAC 09: while the existing MAC 09: disappears. Finally got it to accept my new device but now I have 2 devices repeated in the MAC Filter Table. Not a clean setup.
I have a few desktops in my home network with a new E4200 router. Have to add my wifes Lenovo notebook to the net and activated MAC filtering as addition to the WPA2.Set her MAC address in the filter list. Only one MAC is allowed to access WLAN.An hour later I see in the Filter list four (4) different and unknown MAC adresses added to the list.
I am using a linksys wrt600N with easylink advisor version 1.6.0042. I am trying to install a video camera and the instruction manual says under "known issues": LinkSys routers have a factory default setting in the firewall menu called "filter anonymous internet requests". If you want to access your camera from the internet you have to uncheck this option."I see this option in the WRT600N manual, but it references a software choice that I don't have.I have gone to the website and downloaded the latest compatible software version, and I still don't have the choice to uncheck this option.
Is there anyway to disable WPS on the WRT120N router?
All I can do is switch the "view" from WPS to manual configuration in the management console...this doesn't actually disable anything.Maybe I don't understand WPS security, but what's the point of using a 20 character WPA2 password if WPS has an 8 digit PIN that I can't change or disable?
My network consists of a Westel C90-610030-06 DSL modem, Cisco E2500 router and Hawking HWREN100 range extender.My wife has trouble with her IPad connecting to the Hawking.Apple says I need to Disable WMM on the E2500.
I have an E2500 and i need to disable the ports on the router. I have a DSL line going in and thats it. I do not want it to be able to accept any wired device and have someone get on the internet. I do not want someone to just take a laptop, with a LAN able, plug it into a port, and get internet. How would i be able to disable the ports?
I think I've been carefully through every single screen and can't figure out how to disable the wireless broadcast on my new EA6500. I typically see this in the "wireless" settings but must be missing something.
I am trying to use my EA4200 wireless as simply a router to run my home network. I want to leave all my cables plugged into it and distribute the internet via the switch to my other computers. I just want to turn of the wireless feature.
Two years ago I bought a WAG160N for modem (ADSL) and router functionality. I consider to buy a pure router (E3000 or E4200) to connect to the WAG160N and use that one purely as the modem. How and what should I configure/disable on my WAG160N?
I purchased a new WAG160N router a few months ago and recently I have been having major problems with connectivity.The problem is that it resets itself at seemingly random times. I see it happening. The red power light starts flashing red and then the other lights slowly turn green as it re-establishes connection to the internet.
This is becoming extremley frustrating as I do online gaming with my XBOX 360.I use wired connections using ethernet cables. One to my laptop. And one to my XBOX 360.I have contacted my ISP who have done line checks and I have had an engineer look at my line and all is good. I have also replaced all cables to/from the router including phone cords and ethernet cords. EVERYTHING is new.I recall one incident in which my internet was down and I just couldnt get connection AT ALL. I rang my ISP and they got me to log into my modem settings. The settings were all altered for some reason and I have no idea why. When they told me to enter the details in the settings the internet worked immediatley.
Just bought an E1500 wireless router -- when setting the router name and password, a 2nd guest sight came up, but I had to leave the computer, and when I came back that page was not there. I do have a guess password, that is fine---what I want to remove is the guest signal to our Dish Network wireless sight.
How do I disable the broadcast of my SSID? I do not want wireless. I only bought this router to hook up two computers to the internet via Ethernet cable.
I want to disable the guest access connection on E1000 wireless router but this option is not in the firmware menu. So, now I read that I need to use Cisco Connect on the CD to change this feature. When I run the Cisco Connect software, it says it can't configure the router (probably because I already have it configured). Why doesn't the Cisco Connect software simply take me to the settings where I can change the guest access feature? Why does it try to re-configure the router? Whoever designed this at Cisco was probably smokin some medical MJ because it doesn't make any sense that I have to go through so many hoops to do something so simple.
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.
I have two routers and was wondering if it is possible to use one as a router and one as an Access point, do you know if this is possible and how do i go about configuring this?
Currently my wagN160N v2 is the one that my dsl is connected to, but how do i go about sharing this to my other router and making the WAG160n v1 the access point?
Last night we had some pretty bad lightning and thunder and our Linksys WAG160N appears to have had a bit of a fright.As I was going round unplugging items in case of a hit (this was after a flash or two, relatively nearby), all the lights on the router were off except for the ethernet light (plugged into a Linksys homeplug adaptor). Now the router doesn't appear to boot. When powered on, the power light doesn't flash or anything to indicate booting up, all you get is the ethernet light (if connected) after a few seconds, but no activity. I'm presuming something has been fried or corrupted? I'm not sure if we did have a power spike either through the mains or phone line as all other equipment seems to be fine, but I'm wondering the the homeplug connection might of had something to do with it after reading a few posts from others on the subject.I've held in the reset button while starting and it doesn't appear to have done anything. I will try the 30/30/30 reset tonight.
My EA4500 router now automatically goes to Cisco Connect Cloud, and I can no longer access my router directly through my browser. I do not want to use Cisco Connect Cloud, for security reasons, so how can I disable the automatic access to the cloud? Use of the Cisco Connect Cloud should be optional, and not mandatory. If the cloud is the only way I will be allowed to make changes in my router, I may just have to return it to the store. Can this "feature" be turned off?
