Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT320 - AP Is Not Accepting Added MACs
Jul 20, 2011
I have Linksys WRT320N acting as AP with Mac filtering, yesterday I noticed that even not added Mac addresses can access the network!!The settings in Mac Filter page as following:EnablePrevent PCs listed below from accessing the wireless network.MAC 01: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XXMAC 02: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX...when I changed it to "Permit PCs listed below to access the wireless network" no one is able to connect to the network!!!I think the AP is not accepting the MACs I added!I restart the router (Turning on and off) with no luck.Firmware Version: v1.0.03.
I've had the Airport Extreme router on our Macs at home for years. Finally upgraded and got the E3200.
With the airports, my wife could print wirelessly to our HP LaserJet, which is still showing as an available printer on the wireless network. However, since removing the Apple router and using the E3200 it won't print. When you choose to print wirelessly from the application, it says "looking for printer" and eventually fails and says printer is offline. (which it isn't).
The printer is connected via USB to an external USB hub connected to a Mac. The printer is not (and has never been) connected directly to a router - not the Apple one, or the new E3200.
On the Mac sharing settings, Printer sharing is turned on, so anyone on our network should be able to print wirelessly.
Does the Linksys require some special permission or setup w/ the CiscoConnect software in order to allow the wireless printing?
A few weeks ago I purchased an E2500 router for wireless wi-fi in my home. I inserted the installation disc and started going through the process, but my hard drive on my MacBook so I couldn't finish setting up the router. I have borrowed someones PC laptop, but it doesn't have a CD drive. Is there any way I can set up the router on line or any other way? Will the set up work for Macs and PC's?
I was able to connect using Gnome Epiphay Web Browser v 3.4.1 and found no problems on the WRT610N router.So-o-o Cisco, what do you recommend I do, seeing as how there is no later firmware to apply and nothing to configure that I can see.
Was online the other night when my network suddenly dropped out on me. I assumed it was the router, not my computer, so I restarted it and got nothing. Same with my modem. Then I completely reset the router and, obviously, lost the network I had set up. Didn't realize until today, when I downloaded the setup instructions and reinstalled the router with a new network that the problem might actually be with my computer. I can use the ethernet port to access the web both with the direct line from the modem and when using a line through my router, I just can't get my computer to work on the network I set up. I know the network is valid because it works with my smart phone and a couple of other devices. On my Mac, it shows up in the list of available networks and has full signal strength. Diagnostics in network preferences gives me the following message: "AirPort has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the Internet."
I finally added wpa personnel security to my network. It worked on all computers until my sons xbox wouldn't connect so I disconnected the modem and router and reconnected. After this, the main computer at the router worked but 3 other laptops wouldn't connect to the network. I finally realized it wasn't broadcasting the ssid.All are working except I have an order computer running xp that previously worked-I hadn't checked it for a week-Ibut I just checked and it doesn't connect to the network. It finds the signal and I put the password in but it won't connect. I've deleted the connection and added it back with no luck.
I just installed the firmware upgrade 3.0.03 for my WRP160N router. It is now not accepting my Admin password. Nothing else has changed expect network name now shows linksys and not my assigend network name (SSID)
I am thinking about purchesing this router. But I need know if this router has DHCP reservation function. If router can assign to specific MACs their own IP adress. I had WRT160N for a week, but my ISP change technology. WRT160N had this function, but I am reading here, that WAG160N not.
It's a linksys wireless router attached to their service provider modem and it can no longer recieve new connections. The pc's connected to it before still run through ti fine but any new laptops using the proper authentication and password are unable to make a connection.First thing I am going to try is a factory reset(they mentioned resetting the router but they may have just rebooted it)
I just added a wireless router netgear wgr614 and I secured it and it worked for one day and then after that no internet connection. I've rest and unplugged both the modem and the router and still nothing.
Aironet 1142, two units, using WPA Radius to IAS on Windows 2003. I have a problem with Macs beginning to surface. One laptop, OSX 10.6, ran fine for a couple of weeks. A problem started occurring, while using the network, communication will stop. The Mac still shows connected on the laptop, and it shows associated in the interface on the Airnonet. However, there is no data transfer. I open a terminal and ping, there is no response. After sitting for awhile trying to ping, it will start again and communicate. After letting the laptop sit for awhile, the same things happens. The connection can be disconnected and reconnected on the laptop to restore connectivity. I did a round of things on the Mac to eliminate problems in configuration there. The same thing happens with both Aironets. Today, the when the problem occured, a user with an iPhone experienced the same thing. This was a first for that iPhone. Another Mac laptop, a newer model, did not experience the problem.
As I am writing this, a user with an iPad now just emailed that he is having trouble connecting. We just recently upgraded this customer to Aironets and disconnected a conglomerate of other products. The last one to be disconnected was a low cost Trendnet, that this iPad user was previously connecting to with no problem. The other device he would have been using in a different area was a Mac Airport WAP.
On the Aironets, I have CCX turned off, have set speed settings to default.
I setup a D-Link DIR-825, VB1, Firmware V2.00NA about a month ago. We have 3 Macs here at home - 1 brand new iMac, a G4 Powerbook, and an old G4 / 933 Tower. The G4 tower is connected via ethernet. The other two through Wi-Fi. My problem is that I can barely use the internet for even a few minutes on the G4 tower, connected via Ethernet, without losing my connection. I can be in the middle of loading a page or an image, and suddenly it will say "Waiting for xxx.com". Then if I try to go to Google.com or something I will invariably get "Looking up xxx.com". The connection usually returns on it's own, but it can take up to 3 or 5 minutes. When I get this message on the ethernet G4 tower, I will also have lost connection on the wireless Macs. For the first couple of weeks the tower was not connected and we were just using the two wireless Macs, and they were working well. It seems that as soon as I hooked up the G4 tower via ethernet, connections became very flaky and intermittent all of a sudden.All the Macs are configured for DHCP. We have a Time Warner cable modem. The G4 tower had previously been used at my office with it's own dedicated DSL modem / router, and it worked flawlessly for months at a time without dropping a connection. I've tried rebooting the modem, then the router, then turning all the Macs back on, several times. Same result. I just tried loading the new firmware but it didn't work. Said the Gateway was too crowded or something.
I have installed a new ASUS PCE-N13 network adapter. My problem is this: The network adapter easily detects my wireless router (full strength) so I click connect and it asks me for my p/w. I type the p/w in and my computer instantly tells me it is wrong. I know full well the p/w is right because I live with 2 other people and they both have laptops which connect no problem.
I have two WAP4410N. One of he accesspoints is connected to our wired LAN, called by now AP1. The other accesspoint is connected to the first accesspoint by WDS (Client mode) called now by AP2. I have upgraded both accesspoints to firmware 2.0.4.2. Both accesspoints are set to the same SSID and channel (6) and are set to mixed mode (B/G/N). After I two weeks they started to fail. When I connect to AP1 I don't reveive an IP-address of our DHCP server from our LAN. I'm able to connect to AP1 from our LAN. When I SSH to the box and I do an dmesg command, I see the following messages:
I'm still testing these devices and I hope I can use these devices in our production environment,which is not possible with these errors and outages.
I can't connect to AP2 right now. I think the whole wireless interface isn't working anymore, unless I power off/power on the box. But it's hard testing when it works ok for two weeks and then stops.
I recently installed a wireless printer and all seemed to work well until the next day. I am able to get on the Internet with my iPad but not my PC. I've tried winsock fix, ipconfig, netsh commands and other stuff but I can't connect to the Internet. When I tried to run ipconfig/all here's what I got:
An internal error occurred:The request is not supported.
My router had two problems I was able to fix one after applying the firmware update I found on this site. That was concerned with dropping network connections. I'm left with the router not recognizing devices I plug into the USB port. Plug N Play doesn't give a sound, My Computer doesn't show it and I dont see it in Device manager. I tried connecting A Seagate harddrive and a Scandisk FOB.
I just got one of these and it works pretty good except I can't get it to take more than a 32 character WPA2 PSK. Tried using Firefox and IE and it doesn't make a difference. This is for my house. I'm retiring an old Cisco 1200 series AP and as well as a Cisco 1130. Using the same PSK and it doesn't work. Even if I just put 32 characters and just try typing more characters, it doesn't accept any more.Running 1.0.0.3 code and don't see anything newer or any firmware for it for that matter.
I moved into the new house with two laptops with Windows Vista installed. Since then I have been experiencing severe problems with the wireless connection. The operator is TalkTalk.
As soon as we realised that the problem seemed to exist exclusively on our Vistas (since the two Macs, of another couple of tenants who had been living here for long, were working correctly as usual) we called the company. They suggested many things I have already read on this forum such as deleting the other networks, re-adding mine manually etc. We then realised that things were more complicated than initially thought and started analysing the problem more in depth. We went through their website and changed different settings, including those listed in the properties of "Manage wireless connection" or sth like that (we changed some IP configurations, the protocol ivp4/6, etc.). The outcome was that my Vistas started working while the Macs stopped.
I called them again many other times but no conclusive solution was ever found. I eventually talked to another operator who drew the conclusion according to which the WEP configuration of our Vistas is not compatible with that of the MAC. In other words either the Vistas would work or the Macs. No way they could both work at the same time!!!!
I added RAM to my HP Pavilion a6000n PC, and the only downside is that it no longer identifies the Netgear WNR1000v2-VC router as wireless.I run Windows 7 - have Comcast Internet and have an Arris TM722 modem.The modem and router were supplied by Comcast.I reloaded the cd that came with the router, everything appears to be on the hard drive, but the wireless is still not "enabled". The computer shows the connection as a local area connection, even though the modem and router are connected to each other and the pc.
I have a friend who asked me how he could stop his children accessing porn etc on their ipods etc that they pick up from a wireless router.Is it possible to route a wireless signal through a computer that has parental controls?
I have 5x WAP4410N Cisco access points, the wireless is not responding to join request from wireless clients and i can only access the admin page from the LAN side.
reboot does not work the only way to make it accept join requests is by changing parameters in the AP and save it, it will work for few hours then stops again.
We have an AP541N that has been deployed to replace a Cisco 1200 AP (B/G radio). The 1200 functioned perfectly in our environment. The new AP541N on the other hand seems to work fine right after a reboot but immediately starts to degrade service. Over a short period of time, the devices bandwidth degrades to the point were the wireless network is not usable. This happens with just one device connected. Eventually, the device stops accepting client connections. We are unable to get any relevant logging out of the device to diagnose the problem.
I tried to add some more MACs to our Controllers through the WCS. I hate mac-filtering. We plan on stopping sometime. Three of the Controllers(4402s) are reporting that we have reached the max which appears to be 506.First, is there anyway to increase this number?Second, if not, any experience with deleting clients? Should I use reporting to find MACs that haven't been used for sometime and delete them? Is there a better way?
I am using lms 3.2.1 and CM 5.2.2. I have even enabled ping sweep but the hosts IP never show on the user tracking report. I can not see any Available Subnets/Available Sources on Configure Subnet Acquisition and Ping Sweep windows. When I try to enable End host discovery on Trunks and click Show Trunks comes a message: "There are no Trunks in the device(s) selected", but every access device is connected to the nexus core via a Port channel:
I have a device that does ip audio on one mac address and managagement is on another mac address. Both of these mac addresses come from one NIC on the device. We need to split these two traffic paths into two different vlans.How can I program this switch to sperate the different traffic into two vlan's based on mac address on one interface?
i was having probs with the daughters dell laptop wireless setup, was intermittent, downloaded latest drivers, went to set up the connection, im running 128 bit wep and the damn software will only take the first 9 digits? i have 8 other wireless devices running of this so i dont want to have to change settings on all of them?
We have a new RV100W Router. I would like to use it for iPhones,PC's, and MAC's to connect via IPSec (QuickVPN) or PTTP. Everytime I go to setup VPN, it tells me I must change to a 10.x.x.1 network. How can I use VPN without doing so?
