Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT300N Not Providing Internet When DHCP Disabled
Apr 5, 2012
Here is where I want to go:
Windows server 2008 (providing DHCP and DNS) 192.168.89.1 on all
Cisco SG 300-20 (switch) 192.168.89.3
all Clients(15 x DHCP assigned IPs) connected to switch
WRT300N(192.168.89.2) connected to switch
Internet modem connected to WRT300N
To achieve this I need to disable DHCP on the WRT300N, since my server is providing DHCP.The issue I have is that when I disable DHCP at the WRT300N, I lose internet connection (connected to either switch or direclty to WRT300N).

I call century link because my router was not connecting at the proper speed of 7 mbps. That problem was easily remedied over the phone but the lady said she could see several devices connected. This lost me a bit because I have a double router configuration. The Action tech PK5000 i turned into nothing more that an internet modem. I disabled the DHCP and configured my Linksys E1200 for all the internal DHCP so there is only one cable going to the PK5000. I should technically speaking look like one user on there network with natural protection from the second router.

I just moved in to a new place and have connected my Wireless router (WRT610N) to my switch located in the smart panel in the basement (SE2500). Plugging my ultrabook in to the wall confirms that the signal from the switch in the basement is being sent up, however if I plug my wireless router in to the jack and connect to the wireless router I have no internet access.

Unable to connect to internet via laptop + desktop to wireless Linksys router. Model=WRT300N.
Connection worked fine on my laptop before, however, stopped working approx 3 days ago.In attempt to resolve connection issue, I de-install linksys software from my desktop, now I cannot execute setup due to the fact that I cannot connect to the internet.

I have a router (Linksys E3500) set up as an AP. To do that I just disabled DHCP on the router. I can connect devices to it fine, but I'm having a couple of issues.
So I have a DC setup. It's in the same subnet as the router and I can ping it fine, but when I browse to the AP for management it prompts with the username/password and won't accept the credentials. Not sure what's going on here as I've always used the same credentials and I logged into the router fine when I was first setting it up.
Another issue, is if I try to ping this router from a different subnet, it fails. I can ping the DC fine from this subnet. Would this be to do with the AP just acting as a pass-through?

I've just managed to reset the WRT 300N to default settings and have setup the internet connection etc and home network ... BUT no matter how I've fiddled with the wireless settings I cannot get any of the laptops or mobile phones to connect wireless to the network.The Windows software on the laptops 'finds' the router OK but for some reason the router seems unwilling to supply an IP address.I've checked ALL of the settings that I can think of, and all are correct ... well, all are exactly the same as my old router which worked perfectly.

I have a Cisco ASA 5500 as the main router with a DIR-655 as a wireless access point behind it. DHCP is turned off on the 655 as the ASA is providing DHCP. This worked great for about a year and now suddenly, without any changes, I'm having problems. The only thing that connects without a problem is a laptop, which shows up on the device list with an IP. Other devices have problems. iPhones connect, show an IP on the device itself, but when listed in the connected list on the 655 show no IP. The connection is super slow. An Airport Express will connect, but again, shows no IP in the connected list on the 655. Using the ethernet cable from the Airport Express, nothing can get an IP. I can live with the iPhone not connecting, but the Airport Express not connecting is a major problem. Any reason why this would just stop working one day?

i have a simple router on a stick config which is providing dhcp to a customer SSID. however i don't want employees to stay on it and eat the band width since its open. the lease is set to an hour, is there anyway that i could set it so that once your lease expired it can't be renewed for 4 about 8 hours? I am using a cisco 2600 router in this setup.

I had to restore my laptop yesterday and i reset my router (WRT100). I ran all the Microsoft updates, but I didn't do anything with the router other than going to the Linksys site to try to make it secure. My computer seems to be recognizing the router (although it is still saying it is an unsecured connection) but I cannot get on the internet. The problem seems to be when I pull up the Network Connections window the "Internet Gateway-Internet Connection" is showing disabled. I cannot enable.Everytime I try, it says "connecting...Connection failed!". I can plug the ethernet from the modem to the computer and it works and the "Internet Gateway" doesn't appear, but when I try through the router it does. I want to set up the router because I have two computers that need internet access.
Three connections are listed--Wireless Access, LAN, and 1394 Connection. All are listed as connected, firewalled.The second computer is also giving me a problem. There is the wireless issue, but when I connect the ethernet from the computer directly to the modem I am asked if I want to connect via Broadband and am asked for a username/password. There is no username/password. I've contacted my ISP (Cox cable) and confimred there is no password.

I have a ASA 5505 that I have been using for a while, but a new ISP is trying to configure my service so that the outside interface has to be configured as DHCP to receive a reserved IP address, and then they will route a separate, non-contiguous block of addresses to that address.
Essentially, they have a DHCP reservation for 1.2.3.4 for my ASA, and then they have 10.2.3.16/28 as a separate block routed to me.
Obviously, I can do my static NAT translations using outside as the address, but I cannot get the separate block of addresses to route through the ASA. Is there a way to do this and get them to work? My ASA is running 7.2(2)

I recently bought a WRT160N Wireless router and am not getting fast wireless speeds. My ISP told me my speeds are 10mbps download and 1 mbps upload. I realize that this is not lighting fast but it is all that I feel like i need. My speeds on the WRT160N are about 2-3 MBPS d/l and 600kbps u/l on my wireless connection, which is hooked up to my playstation 3. My wired connection, which goes to my pc, is 9.75 mbps d/l and about .95 mbps u/l, which seems right. Why am I getting such low speeds with a router that is suppose to be build for faster wireless and longer ranges.To make a comparison, I have been using an OLD linksys b-rated router. i can't exactly remember the model, but i think it is the bef11s4, it came with a network card and is about 6-7 years old. I was getting 3-3.5 mbps d/l and 800kbps u/l with the b rated router, and it seemed like a better reception, like in the 80's-90's. ThisWRT160N is getting like in the 70's and sometimes lower.I have tried setting the router to open all ports to a dedicated ip address, it made things a little better, maybe getting 2.5 mbps d/l at the most. What am i doing wrong? I have heard something about tomato firmware but am not real familiar with it?

After enduring some protracted problems with wireless connectivity, I decided to bite the bullet and upgrade my Linksys WRT300N from firmware version 2.00.08 to 2.00.21.I found the links to advice on how to achieve this, via a two-stage upgrade url...I followed the following steps: Upgrade firmware using file "wrt300n.bin" file, as per the above link. This brought the firmware version to 2.00.17. Upgrade went smoothly - config page refreshed after rebooting the router and all was well.Upgrade firmware using file "WRT300N-EU-ETSI-ML-2.00.21-code.img" file, downloaded from the Linksys support site. Again, the upgrade went smoothly (apparently) ... except that after rebooting the router, my config page failed to refresh.I have since powered the router off (wait 30 seconds) and on again. Still no web access.
The device, however, does seem to be working OK. I have wireless access, and wireless access, via computers on my network. The only thing I cannot do is access the web config page - but that's not quite satisfactory. I have a number of customised settings on the device, saved to a config file. Included among those is a changed IP address for the router of 192.168.1.10. I am tempted to do a hard reset to factory defaults, connect via a dedicated cable connection and then reapply my custom settings (either manually, or from the config file.) However at this stage I have no confidence that the device will have web access after reset - and then it won't be working for me at all!
Does firmware version 2.00.21 require http access via a specific port (i.e. not 80)? Is there some other way I can access the device for modifying configuration, other than by the web utility? (I have posted another question about obtaining a copy of my long-ago-misplaced Setup CD-ROM.

I unplugged my router and when I plugged it back in, it stopped working. The 4 port lights and the ethernet light come on immediately when I plug it in instead of the normal boot sequence.
I tried resetting it, leaving it unplugged for long periods, using the power supply from my other router,... nothing works.

Just got WRT300N for connecting my ps3 thru wi-fi. I got everything works but the signal that I got from my PS3 is around 50% only. I am using latest Linksys firmware. My ps3 is located around 25 feet away one floor down from my wireless router. But there is no major wall inbeween the connection. My WRT300N should be a cutting edge product for networking. How come I still got 50% signal strength? Besides moving the router or pS3 closed to each other.

In my home I have a cable modem wired to a links wireless router a wrt 300n in my office (only hardwired used in there) and I do not get such good distance to my back bedrooms with my laptop. I have run a Ethernet cable dead center of the house for my sat receiver that is connected and wired to the 300wrt. Here is my question can I use the 150 like a hub or switch at the office connected to the cable modem and use the wrt300n router so that I get wireless on that side of the house. Or in reading here I see I can maybe use a bridge. I do have a older Linksys wrt150n sitting in a box.I have read until my eyes are almost bleeding and am not sure. How I can get a better signal on the other side of the house.

Since the secondary router WRT300N uses the same default IP 192.168.1.1 as the primary installed router EA4500, any attempt to log onto the set up page results in diversion to the Cisco Connect Cloud for the primary router.
Is there a way to access the set up page for the secondary WRT300N, bypassing the main router intervention via the Cloud software?

I've had this WRT300N for several years and it has worked very well.It suddenly dropped all wireless connections and no one can re-connect. My main pc is hard wired directly to the router and works perfectly as always. 3 wireless pc's and 3 handheld devices suddenly can't connect. I've powered down my modem and router for several minutes, but nothing changed. The firmware was upgraded a long time ago and there are no other upgrades available.

For reasons I will explain in a separate thread, following a firmware upgrade to version 2.00.21, I am no longer able to connect to my WRT300N using the web interface. The device seems to be working fine (but for the lack of the web config access.) I'm loathe to leave it "inaccessible" and would like to use the Setup CD-ROM described in the manuals to connect directly to the device to see if I can fix the problem.
I have been through my "filing system" (read "junk room") to try to find the original device packaging, wherein I am sure I would find the original CD-ROM. Is there anywhere I can download an image of the original Linksys Setup CD-ROM for the WRT300N version 2.0 device?

Due to problems with my wifi connection, I had to reset my router and modem. I have to reinstall my settings now, and therefore I need to write down a security number. That should be written on the back of my router (model WRT300N), a barcode with 8 numbers. I can't find that code. Where can I find it or is there another way to reinstall my connection and put a password on it? It's open access now.

I have a WRT300N wireless router that was working fine until I tried hooking up an Air ave Access Point for Sprint. Now the router doesn't work at all - even the hard wired connections don't work. I tried the usual - unplugging, plugging back in, disconnecting, reconnecting, hitting the reset button - nada.
Removing the Air ave Access Point doesn't matter - it still doesn't work when I put it back the way I had it before. The only way I can get a signal to my computer is to plug it directly into the modem, bypassing the router.

I cannot seem to figure out how to connect my Canon MP620 Wireless printer to my wireless router. The router is a WRT300N v 1.1 with the latest firmware upgrade. I am using WPA for security. I can connect to the printer wirelessly through my neighbor's open system so it has something to do with security I suspect. I have enabled the AP feature and disabled it to see if that is an issue. That has not changed anything. I have looked at other posts with HP printer issues and access point posts but none of those solutions have worked. The Canon gives me an option to use the WPA, WPA2 and WEP?
