Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT310N V1 Cannot Get An IP From PPPoE Server

Nov 17, 2012

I have a Linksys WRT310N V1.I am trying to connect this via PPPoE to another Thompson router/modem that has been succesfully switched into BRIDGE mode.The Linksys router is conneted via ethernet cable to an ehternet port on the Thompson router.The ADSL cable is pluggedinto the WAN port of the  Thomson 'bridge'.There is no cable in the WAN port of the Linksys router.
 
The Linksys router is set up to connect over PPPoE using the username and password that was given to me by my ISPs tech support (checked and double checked).The DHCP server on the Bridged Thomson is set to ON. DNS is set to OFF.the DHCP server on the Linksys router is set to ON.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT310n V2 - Primary DNS Server For All DHCP Clients

Nov 24, 2012

The router always inserts its’ own address as the primary DNS server for the all DHCP clients even though you have set the DHCP server on the router to assign manual external addresses?
 
Oh I have a
WRT310n v2
firmware v2.0.01 build 004
 
Let me elaborate a little so I am clear what I am saying.  On the router setup page go to the section that is labeled “DHCP server settings” enter 3 static DNS servers.  Say 2 Google and one open dns.
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
208.67.222.222
 
Apply your settings.
 
Release your ip on your workstation, then renew it. And look at your DNS, the routers address is still the first entry.
 
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
                                     
I suspect this was probably a design decision so that they could allow a user to open their web browser and type something neat like [URL].  Which for the average user is fine and dandy.  If my ISP didn’t suck and try to redirect everything to cached copies I probably wouldn’t have noticed it.  But since I end up using the router for DNS and it picks up DNS from my ISP I end up getting Akamai IP addresses, and they have problems with SSL certs….  So you get errors. 
 
I know I can go set the DNS server settings on the workstations.  But I really don’t want to do this on all of my devices as they are mobile and switch networks, and on some networks not using the local dns breaks things.  Like on the corporate network.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54G2 Can't Get IP From PPPoE Server

Sep 19, 2010

I installed a Linksys WRT54G2 router earlier this year and set my Siemens modem from AT&T(Actually from SBC before the two merged) in bridge mode.  I did this so I could change the NAT setting on our internet, which was interfering with my Xbox.  It worked for about 4 or 5 months with little to no problems.  Recently, however, the internet has been disconnecting and when I check the status page on the router it says it is disconnected.  Sometimes clicking on the connect button will work, but usually it will say "Connecting" and keep refreshing the page for a little while without any change, then give me a message saying it couldn't get the IP from the PPPoe server.  Turning it and the Siemens modem on and off and fiddling around seems to solve the problem, but only temporarily.  Interestingly enough, I don't think it ever interferes with my Xbox.  Until recently, the Xbox was set as the highest priority on the QoS page, but I changed the computer to the highest priority and it hasn't worked.  In addition, the small, thin green light bar just below the Linksys logo on the top of the router has just recently started changing to orange occasionally

Linksys Wireless Router :: E3000 - Way Of Getting IP From Pppoe Server?

Jul 22, 2011

I recently bought an E3000. I am trying to setup a wireless home network.Google and tried a lotta things (power cycle the most no. of times ). Nothing worked.So I poked around. Looked up the IPConfig of my PC with wire connected directly(no router), was 192.168.0.xxx. So I hit 192.168.0.1 in my browser address bar, and it came up with the login page for a D-Link DIR600. A wireless router with wireless disabled. Apparently this is being used as a switch by my ISP. This I know cause I checked the active connections and DHCP reservations on the D link and it showed up about 100 different PC's (including MAC and IP addresses).

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54G2 - Cannot Get IP Address From PPPoE Server

Sep 20, 2012

I have been working on this for hours and getting frustrated!   This router has been set up for over a year with no trouble, but recently had trouble connecting with my wireless devices and was kicking my wired (ethernet) laptop off when it is usually on all the time.
 
Now,  my wired connection works through the router, the wireless devices all connect to the network but do not have access to theinternet.    From the router's setup page, when I enter my PPPoE information and go to status and connect, it tries to connect a few times then gives me the error message 'cannot get IP address from PPPoE server"
 
I have tried updating firmware, resetting, restarting, recycling power, chat support with ISP and chat support with Linksys.   Have verified my username and key and those are correct otherwise I'd have no internet access at all.  I do have wired access but not wireless.   The wired connection does go through the router.
 
Bridging - my modem is a bridging modem only, so it shouldn't be that.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT310N - Color Of Internet LED?

Feb 5, 2012

I am getting 22-30mbs down through my router wired and I'm only getting about half of that through wireless.  Is this normal?  I also have a question about the color of the internet led.  The online manual says that it should be blue, but mine is green.  All of the other LEDs are blue except the internet one.  Not sure if that is an issue or not.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT310N Does Not Retain Configuration?

Sep 17, 2012

our WRT310N router does not retain any configuration given to it. When we reset the device, it goes back to its factory settings. In that state we can access the device (http://192.168.1.1), make some changes and save it. The changes include giving it a different name from the default, and setting a password for the connection. However, when we try to use it for our wireless network, we cannot connect to the internet. Checking the Connection Status in a Windows XP  laptop, we found out that we have been given a gateway different from what we have set the device into and thus a different set of IP addresses for each of the device.
 
Also at this time, we cannot access the router anymore (via 192.168.1.1 or via the gateway provided) and thus having no choice but to reset the device again. We then reinput the configuration desired, save it, restart the systems (both PCs and router) but after a few moments (initially it retains the settings chosen) we won't be able to connect through the Internet and find out that the router has a different configuration again. We also tried letting the device "rest" but the same problem persists.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Wrt310N V2 Blocks One Website

Aug 19, 2012

I have a Linksys WRT310N V2 wireless router.  Last week it started blocking access to our family website.  That website appears to be the only one that is blocked.  Every other website we have tried works just fine.  I have tried the following.Remove the WRT310N router and plug a computer directly into the broadband modem.  After this everything works fine for the one computer I have hooked into the internet.Remove the WRT310N router and substitute an old Linksys non-wireless router.  Everything works fine for the hardwired computers on the LAN.  Again, not really an option, need wireless access.
 
Unplug the router and so a soft reset.  Still blocks this one website.I have not done a hard reset to factory specs.  I wasn't looking forward to redoing everything I had set up.I looked over every setting in this router and can't find anything that would cause it to block a web page.  I am far from a networking expert, but most of the settings seem pretty obvious.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT310N No Internet Connection

Oct 2, 2012

I have a WRT310N router and suddenly it stopped connecting to the Internet. I can't ping anything from the router page. I tried restarting it a few times, unplugged it, left it off for a few minutes, plugged it back in, upgraded the firmware, still not working. I tried another router and it works fine. When connected directly to the modem, it works fine, so the problem has to come from the router.
 
I can connect to the router through wired or wireless just fine, I just can't access the internet.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Increase Range In WRT310N?

Aug 12, 2011

I've been using the WRT310N and noticed that the range is quite poor--I've noticed this in two different houses.I've tried using an old repeater but it is a G repeater so it seems to actually make things worse i.e. a remote device will work slightly better with an unrepeated N signal than a repeated G (router is a in mixed mode).

Linksys Wireless Router :: How To Re-flash A Bricked WRT310N

Oct 27, 2010

I accidentally flashed my WRT310N version 1.0 with version 2.0 firmware. After which the router was dead as a doornail.After a frustrating 3 hours of reading forums, following over 11 tutorials, and being 1 second away from throwing my WRT310N at the wall, I finally fixed it.I performed this fix on a Windows 7 32-bit PC. My provider is Comcast.Make sure you only have one ethernet cable connected from your PC to the router. The cable should be connected to any one of the 4 blue ports. I connected mine to port 1. DO NOT CONNECT IT TO THE YELLOW INTERNET PORT on the router.
 
With the router in your hand, hold down the reset button for 30 seconds until the port 1 light goes out then immediately disconnect the power while still holding down the reset button. DO NOT LET GO OF THE RESET BUTTON!WAIT 30 more seconds with the power disconnected. (Do not let go of the reset button)PLUG the power back in and WAIT another 30 seconds. After that, let go of the reset button. You should have held the reset button for a total of 90 seconds. This will wipe the router's nvram.Bring up the command prompt window that you prepared earlier. You should still see the ping command that you entered in Step 2. Now, hit ENTER to start pinging the router continuously. You will probably see a bunch of "request timed out" responses.Bring up the TFT2.exe window that you prepared in step 2. Press UPGRADE so it can begin communicating with the router. Make sure you set at least 10 retries.
 
As quickly as possible, go back to your router and HOLD the reset button and disconnect the power. You don't need to wait 30 seconds...5 seconds is enough. While stil holding the reset button down, plug the power back into the router and keep an eye on the command prompt and TFT2.exe windows.If the command prompt has successfully pinged the router, TFT2.exe will begin to flash it and very soon it will show a success message below the progress bar. If you still can't successfully ping the router, close and restart TFT2.exe using the same settings and try disconnecting/reconnecting the router's power again as mentioned in the paragraph above. You may want to try holding  the reset button down longer than 5 seconds. I was able to get this to work on the FIRST TRY.Now that your router is has the proper firmware, go back to your adapter's settings (mentioned in step 4), delete the static IP and set it back to the default automatic settings.Plug your cables back in and don't forget to plug the ethernet cable from your modem to the yellow internet port on your WRT310N."Recycle" the power to your cable modem by holding down the reset for 60 seconds or disconnect it from the power outlet for 60 seconds.Reset your router by holding the reset button for 30 seconds.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT310N Both Desktops Will Not Connect

Oct 29, 2009

I have a WRT310N wireless router (Ver 1). In the house we've got 1 macbook, 2 laptops running windows vista, and 2 desktops running windows XP.The original problem is that both desktops will not connect wirelessly. All 3 laptops connect but neither desktop wants to connect. Most of the time neither desktop will even recognize the wireless network. On one of the desktops we bought and installed a linksys wireless-n pci adapter. It was installed using the software that came with it and the drivers were updated. It still does not recognize the network or connect (obviously).
 
This has led me to try to upgrade the firmware on the router. The firmware version it is currently running is 1.0.4 (Jan 3, 2008) and I have been trying to upgrade to 1.0.7. I downloaded the firmware update from the linksys website. I accessed the router via my browser and went to the "Firmware Upgrade" section under Administration. However, the upgrade freezes at 98% every time I try.
 
I have tried to upgrade the firmware wireless, wired, and wired without internet connectivity and nothing works. Fortunately stopping the upgrade after the freeze at 98% has not had any negative affects on the router as it still works perfectly on the 3 laptops. I even re-downloaded the firmware .bin file before the last attempt and still nothing.The fact that neither desktop will connect wirelessly is baffling, but I don't know what to make of the fact that the firmware update freezes at 98%. I've looked for the intermediary firmware updates to see if I could step my way up to the latest update, but I haven't been able to find them.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT310N File Not Found

Jun 4, 2012

I have a series of problems I think are due to my 310N. First, with Facebook, I will suddenly be redirected to a248.e.akamai.net., which Chrome flags as an SSL error. Second, with (and only with) NYTimes.com, I will get  "file not found" (and no numerical error) when trying to retrieve an article (via Chrome). AND, again only with NYTimes.com, I will get high-bit ascii characters in headlines. For other sites, I will get "invalid url" messages on web pages. If I unplug the modem and let it rest for 30 seconds, that seems to solve the problem. I have to do this at least once a day.
 
More than once a day. I don't think it's a 310N problem; but I've asked about this on other forums and got no useful reply. Previously I had similar problems with my 160 router. So, it's not the router. HOWEVER, shutting it off works with lot of the problems. Right now, after shutting off the router and turning it back on, now Facebook just doesn't come up at all. No error, just don't come up. I can ping it.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT310n V1 / V2 - Connection Dropouts

Jan 13, 2011

So, as MANY others have complained of, my router would frequently drop the wireless connection. I've read through the posts about change this, do these, upgrade that, all of which resulted in nothing. Everyone is looking to blame the firmware, but that's not it. It's the hardware. They assembled these units with bad capacitors. Anyways, the fix is simply to replace these capacitors with new ones yourself. THIS WILL VOID WARRANTY and you may permanently damage your equipment (if you're an idiot and leave it plugged in...), but it will take half an hour, a soldering iron and $5 of parts from radio shack (or online if you want better quality). It's really, really easy.

Some good info if you plan on going this route: {URL}
WRT310N V1 board (6 capacitors to replace):
WRT310N V2 (4 caps to replace): (this is showing the new capacitors I installed. ugly, I know, but it works.)

Linksys Wireless Router :: How To Boost Signal Range Of WRT310N

Aug 20, 2008

How to successfully increas the signal range of the WRT310n? I live in a huge old place and the signal drops to one bar (dial-up speed) about 40 feet across the building. However, at the room before that (maybe 30 feet) my Apple Mac book gets great signal and it's no problem. I need to connect the Mac and 2 PC laptops wirelessly.I'm not sure whether to try a signal booster, set up another access point (or how to do that anyway), or what? Running a cable is unfortunately not an option.I also have a WRT300n (which was replaced this weekend with the 310n). Not sure which one really is better, but the 300n router's range didn't even make it as far as the 310n does. (There was weak signal, no active bars.) Someone suggested adding a more powerful antenna to that router instead?

Linksys Wireless Router :: Unable To Access WRT310N Through Browser

Linksys Wireless Router :: Wrt310n V2 Repeatedly Drops Wifi?

Oct 9, 2010

I have a WRT310N V2 wireless router, with a WMP600N dual-band PCI card in my computer, using Vista 64x.  I have had the same set-up for the past year or so, even after moving to a new apt, which I have been in now for 3 months.  It has worked perfectly, up till recently. Over the past week however, my router has been dropping the connection, to the point of having to wait for it to show back up in my connections list.  I made no changes to my setup, prior to the problems.  I am kind of doubting it's my wireless card, as I can still see other routers.  I have tried changing the MTU size, the Threshold, made sure the firmware was up to date, etc.  I re-installed the drivers for my NIC and even changed ports, just to be on the safe side.  I don't know what else to do, except go out and get another router.  I have to use wireless, as I have nowhere to run cables at.  I had this problem before with a Linksys wireless router, but figured it was due to the extreme amount of bandwidth my game uses online.  Ironically, both routers are doing the same thing.  They hit lag every 60 seconds almost on the money.  I'm a gamer, so this is a huge inconvenience for me.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT310N V2 Facebook Page Always Times Out

Feb 22, 2012

I have the WRT310N v2 and having been having an issue with the Facebook games for the past week. I can logon to facebook just fine, but when I try to go into a game or accept gift requests, nothing works and the page always times out. However, when I disconnect the modem cable from the router and plug it in directly to the desktop, everything works fine. All other websites (Shockwave and Pogo) work just fine, but just Facebook has the problem when the router is connected. 
 
I went through all the settings for the router. Nothing is blocked and everything is in fine working order. The only thing I noticed was that there was a firmware update to 2.0.01 which I did, and still the problem remains. I've made sure that there are no restrictions on IE or Chrome as well. I first thought that the router was crapping out, but have since disregarded that.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT310N Not Working After Firmware Update

Jan 5, 2012

I have been having trouble with my router with wireless network intermittently cutting out every couple minutes (on all devices, like laptop, phone, and tablet.) So, in my wisdom, I went online and downloaded version 2 firmware and after power cycling the wireless doesn't work anymore.  Questions:
 
I have my old Dell Desktop connected (hardwired) into the router, and it works when I take the wireless router out of the loop.  How do I update the firmware on the router if I can't connect wirelessly or hardwire anymore?  I want to go to version 1 to see if that will solve the original issue.
 
For the original issue of cutting out and reconnecting constantly, would version 1 work or something else?  It isn't my cable modem, as internet has always worked fine connecting desktop or laptop directly.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Setting Up Website Blocking On WRT310N?

Sep 12, 2009

Setting up website blocking.  I have set up access restrictions for selected times and days but I also want to set up access restrictions for webistes.  Perhaps I'm just not clear on how this is supposed to work - I created a policy called 'Site' and then enter the URL in the website blocking area.  The options under the 'Access Restrictions' area are either 'Allow' or 'Deny' - intuitively one would assume the selection should be 'Deny' since this policy is to block access to specific URL's.  However, if I click 'Deny' and then save, then the URL's I just entered are cleared.  However, if I select 'Allow' then I am essentially giving 24hour access every day to my computers (but blocking the URLs), which then seems to go against the access restrictions I set up for selected times and days.  Perhaps these two policies are mutually exclusive but it does not seem clear that it is.
