Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT160Nv2 - E4200 Won't Save Password Or Connect
Jun 29, 2012
I am in the process of upgrading a Linksys WRT160Nv2 to a Cisco E4200. I run Cisco Connect and enter my ISP password (7 characters long) and click save but when it refreshes the screen, the password field has 16 characters in it.

I just installed my new E4200, and am setting the Access Restrictions. Is there anyway to block the popup window that displays every time I enter the form or save the settings?
I'm using IE9 and have tried adjusting the Popup Blocker, but to no avail.

I have a WRT160Nv2 and I have a stack of 5 static ip addresses. I have the entire store wired and everything is working great, except my DVR. I cannot get it to work on the network. Should I use one of the static ip's or not?

Unable to get Nanostation GUI when it is connectedI have a smart panel in the basement of my house which has a WRT160Nv2 in it. Connected to it in one port is a WRT610N which is on the second floor. Heres my issue now, for my main and computer rooms they are running off of one switch right (I'm not sure the IP of it or even how to find the IP of it) but basically any device connected to the smart panel router via ethernet cable is not recieving internet, devices connected wirelessly are.

I have a computer that is connected to a linksys wireless router model WRT160NV2. I also have a laptop. I have never set up a lock or anything on my wireless connection and I think other people are using it. When I type the IP address 192.168.1.1 on my laptop, I do not get the screen to pop up to change my settings. Do I need to do this from the computer?

how i can change WRT160Nv2 settings if i cannot find it with default 192.168.1.1;i'm using it as secondary router connected to FIOS actiontec primary, which has the 192.168.1.1; factory default reset linksys to that same IP, can't get it.cannot get internet without actiontec as its coax connected, and linksys doesn't have coax port.can'ty open configure page without internet connection, i believe.tried to use a neighbor's wireless but that's using 192.168.1.1 as well, can't log in to that.this started with firmware upgrade of linksys which left it invisible; didn't complete the upgrade, i don't think. but i've reset it and still nothing.

I Have a WRT160Nv2 and I am trying to get my nat to become unstrict for xbox live. I have tried port fowarding that has not worked. I tried this site [URL] and that didnt work(I only have one xbox 360 btw). Nothing has worked for me and every time I mess with something it screws up the internet so I have to set it up to the previous defaults. I know how to access my router I just need to know what to enable, disable, or add to the router.

I just purchased an E4200 and got it up & running. Everything was fine, until I connected a Wi-Fi DVD player to it. I followed the DVD player procedure, which was to push the WPS button on the router, and then the appropriate button on the DVD player. After a few seconds, the player connected, and I successfully accessed YouTube through it.
So far, so good -- except that it turns out that the router, on its own, changed the SSID and password. When I could not get Wi-Fi access on my iPhone, I checked the Wi-Fi settings, and instead of the original SSID of the E4200 -- let's say ShadeTree -- it was changed to Cisco_WPS_xxxxx (the X's represent numbers). I started Cisco Connect, and a screen came up showing that the password had been changed from the original, and listed both the original and new passwords.
What is going on? Why would the E4200 change the SSID and password all by itself, when I connected a Wi-Fi equipped DVD player with WPS? Is this going to happen when I connect a Wi-Fi equipped TV set, or some other component? What can I do to keep the E4200 from changing the network name and password all by itself? Or am I going to have to re-program every other Wi-Fi device (iPad, iPhone, etc.) every time I add a new component?

So I just got this new WRT160Nv2 router. I have (1) wired computer and then my laptop running wireless to it. For the first couple days I had some issues getting consistant internet but after reading some stuff on here I downgraded to the version 8 hardware and it worked GREAT for about 3 days. Now my power light won't stop flashing and I have NO internet connection at all through the router. I have tried to reset the router by holding down the button and also unpluging it but still nothing.

With the E4200, is it possible to setup the main SSID with a pass pharse but have the guest SSID without a passpharse or password (ie access without security). If so, How?

My E4200 settings show both the 5.8GHZ and 2.4GHZ channels to be active, with SSID's displayed. However, when I look for available networks via my laptop(s)/tablets, etc, only the 2.8GHZ channel is visible. I've tried changing various settings and even updated the firmware but nothing has changed.
In addition my "guest" portal displays as not being password protected, even though it is setup for password protection in the E4200 menu.I've rebooted the router several times, but nothing has changed. The 5.8GHZ channel is not visible.The router is also performing frequent random disconnects, but that appears to be a separate issue, based on other posts.

When I set up the E4200, the LinkSys tech had me code the name aquapanda and aquapanda1 for the "guest"....now when I look at the computer right hand corner icon I can see the wireless networks available in my area and I see aquapanda as "secured" and aquapanda1 as "unsecured" does this mean somebody in my neighborhood and use aquapanda1? I entered a password for aquapanda which is what I am using. Aquapanda1, the quest "unsecured" network has a small yellow icon showing but I do not remember entering a password for this...does my password for aquapanda cover the aquapanda1 network?

I've had this router for just over a year now so the warranty is out and it just so happened to stop functioning last night. I'm fairly decent in the router world since I am studying for my CCNA, so I have tried just about anything imaginable. I woke up this morning with no connection, checked the modem, then the router. The router was powered on, but the up/downstream lights were not doing a thing. The modem is not the issue (I am hardwired as of now). I have tried both resets, including unplugging the device, and still can't get a response out of it. The logo light will turn straight on (no fad in and out like it's suppose to) and then it does absolutely nothing. I have never encountered this sort of problem on a home router before. I can't login to the router either.

I have 2 E4200's . One is connected to my ADSL Modem as DHCP and the other one is Bridged to the DHCP. I'm trying to connect to my E4200 that is set as Bridged. I am able to connect to my E4200 that is set as DHCP, but I cannot connect to the E4200 that is connected to that DHCP as Bridged.
How can I connect to that bridged E4200 because I want to upgrade the Firmware of the Bridged E4200?.

Been having problems connecting an old WGA54G v2 (firmware 1.16, March 29, 2005) to a new E4200 v2 (firmware 2.0.36) via WPA. I can get the two to connect using no encryption or WEP but not WPA. Using WEP is not an option for me,E4200 v2 wireless settings:
1. 5GHz broadcast is off, 2.4 GHz is on.
2. Network Mode - Mixed
3. Security Mode - WPA2/WPA Mixed Mode
4. Channel Width - Auto
5. Channel - Auto
6. Guest Access broadcast is off
WGA54G v2 settings:
1. SSID - same as router
2. Network type - Infrastructure
3. Security - enabled
4. Pre-shared key - same as router
5. Encryption - WPA Pre-shared Key, TKIP (tried AES, but still no connection)
Also, tried different WPA network modes on the router (Mixed, WPA personal, WPA2 personal etc.) to no avail. Switched between mixed, B and G network modes as well on e4200 v2 but still no connection. My guess now is that the WPA on the gaming adapter and the WPA on the router are just not compatible, as completely asinine as that sounds. Thought about updating firmware on the WGA54G v2 but checked in the download section here and the last firmware available is 1.13 (appears older than my 1.16, even though the 1.13 release date listed is a month after my 1.16).

I have this E4200 for about 3 months and allways has been used as an wireless router. Today i wanted to connect 2 wired computers to it via lan and whatever i do dosnt connect. Dosnt even let me acces the 192.168.1.1 page to router settings.I am on firmware 1.0.02, i also did a full reset and then did set up with cisco connect, did try that thing with the cisco usb connect and still no joy with the LAN conection.
One comp uses win 7 the other is on win xp. I can connect both comps succesfully to other router via the gigabit ports but not to this one.

On the 2.4ghz side, I'm set up on the cleanest channel (per inssider) which is 6, channel width is auto (although I've tried it fixed at 20 also), N-only, and security is WPA2 personal. WMM support is enabled. I'm running firmware 1.0.02 The laptops continually stay around 72mpbs, occasionally jumping to numbers in the 100 range... twice I saw it actually hit 144. Inssider shows the max rate as 144, while other N networks in range are as high as 270. I'm sitting right next to the router with 5 bars -- why is the max rate 144? Why won't it run at 300?

So I purchased a Linksys E4200 a couple weeks ago from Best Buy (got the $149 price) and finally got around to setting it up last Thursday. Before I get to my problem, I am happy to say that I have not experienced the "blinking light" syndrome that seems to plauge a number of other owners. In fact, the E4200 is everything I hoped it would be ... except for one problem. I cannot get my sister's Acer Aspire One netbook to connect to it.
It's really strange actually; the netbook picks up the 2.4GHz SSID fine (it's set to mixed mode) and upon selecting it and I input the WPA2-Personal password no problem. Then, it takes forever to finally aquire a network address, like at least 3 full minutes (usually this process takes a few seconds). After that, it tells me it is connected to the network with excellent signal strength. Except, despite it saying it's connected, the Internet does not work at all. If I got into the details of the wireless adapter, it tells me that the router/network failed to give the adapter a network address.

after setting up my e4200, I am no longer able to connect to Steam, I instantly get a connection error. I'm told it should work fine with UPNP, and I've even forwarded the proper ports just in case, but I cannot connect. I have latest firmware. Hoping someone else out there has same router and uses Steam.

1. I will be getting a e4200 on Thursday and was wondering if there is any advantage/disadvantage to using the Cisco Connect or just following instructions for manual setup using the web (I did it that way on my last router 6 years ago but was just following a script).?
2. Can I change things using the web after setting up using Cisco Connect or do I have to always use it:?
3. Finally after I set the router up can I just set up other computers in the house as I do now (just plug them in using wire or search for wireless and put in password)?

I've switched over from a d-link dir-655 router to the v1 4200. I've been playing around with the 4200 and trying to get it connected to my tv all night long. I have two laptops and two iphones connecting with no issues. I cannot for the life of me get the tv (GT30) to work. It picks up three signals, the 2.4 signal, the 5 signal and the guest signal. The only one that will even connect to the internet is the guest signal. When I run the connection test, however it will not connect to the vierra connect server. I've tried setting it up manually, and anything else that seems obvious. I had no issue with the dlink router at all.

Router: E4200-V2
Firmware: 2.0.37
Just bought E4200-V2 and happy with the performance, except one thing.After several hours, I could not connect to the router manager both from "Cisco Connect" nor browser.I could resolve this by turn off the router and turn on again, but the same problem will be back after several hours.I tried to reset the router (reset 30 and reset 30/30/30) several times but have no luck.

I've noticed that my 192.168.1.1 login console was slow loading up on my E4200 V1. The router functioned just fine(wireless and wired). These past few days I tried to log in to set some DNS settings and I cannot access 192.168.1.1.I have tried via wireless and wired. The router powers on still seems to function but won't allow me to load up the admin console page.To my last resort, I held in the tiny reset button and the router seems to have went back to it's default settings (SSID = Cisco#####) but I cannot connect to it. what I can try to get back into the management window.I was able to manage everything from my laptop about a month ago or so, but now I can't do anything.

I have set up my WAG320N with my E4200v1 successfully. The problem is that my laptops can't connect through WiFi with the E4200 router, but only with the WAG320N (wireless). Since it is the first time I set up a network alone I possible have made mistakes and that's why I can't connect to my router wirelessly. My desktop pc will successfully connect to both of my routers (wired)! My devices won't (DS,Laptops). I have WEP security in my WAG320N (because this is the only one my DS card can connect to) and in my E4200 I want to use WAP2 to connect my 2 laptops. I have made nothing more than setting them up and both of my evices are new.
It is for home use, both of my devices are updated to their latest firmware and the laptops won't identify the problem and will ask to restart the router. (I did many restarts both on my routers, PC, laptops)

After I updated my E4200 V1 with the 1.0.04 update I am unable to connect my WET610N to it with 802.11N. I can connect fine with 802.11G. I tried the Site Survey method of pairing them as well as manual. When it fails it goes through the minute timeout of trying and then Link Status is disconnected. I have anything from phones to laptops connect to the E4200 with wireless N, its just the WET610N that doesnt want to pair.
Before I was running the following:
E4200 V1 1.0.03
WET610N V1 1.0.05
Connection between them: Bridged, WPA2 Personal, 802.11N
After I was running:
E4200 V1 1.0.04
WET610N V1 1.0.05
Connection between them: Bridged, WPA2 Personal, 802.11G

E4200 does fail functionality on 2 area's:
- 1) Media Streaming Server
- 2) NAS supporting modern USB devices, which register with multiple personalities/devices in one physical USB device.
1) Is already known by Cisco and hopefully the choose to fix it properly
2) Must be known now. Multiple users are reporting this lack of support.
NAS functionality of E4200 does not work/ gives problems with:
- Toshiba StorE Alu 2S USB 3.0, 1 TB disk. PN: PA4239E-1HJ0
- Iomega eGo 1 TB USB 3.0, (black casing) , PN 31924500, RPHD-UG3
Both drives report themself with 2 devices under Windows 7: 1x USB storage decive + 1x CD readonly device?
