Linksys Wireless Router :: WTR160N - Changing From Unsecured To Secured

Dec 13, 2012

I have a WTR160N-RM.  I just moved and the cable technician hooked it up unsecured.  I didn't catch it until he left.  I can access the Linksys webite with the standard IP address and generic password, but I'm not sure what needs to be changed.  I've looked at several UTube videos and read some online instructions, but they all different a bit.  How I can secure my wireless again?  I have an old Toshiba LT that just keeps on tickin'.

Secured Linksys (Cisco) Access Point Connects Unsecured Randomly?

Jul 6, 2012

I live in apartment house that recently had a "professional" (I use that term loosely) sell and install a wireless network for Internet access. I am the only tenant with any knowledge of computers and networking, retired after 30+ years in telecommunications including 7 years in an ISP doing project management. I am also the only user who spends any appreciable amount of time online. The apt owner did not know of my background when he had this guy contracted to do the work. The "engineer" did an inadequate site survey, not thinking of or allowing for RFI, EMI, walls or other obstructions and he neglected to see what the tenants' individual needs were.

The installation was finished more than a week past his due date because "ran out of parts". When he did the individual user setups (he included that in his quote, apparently) he attempted to garner extra business by claiming that the end users' machines were all full of spyware, malware, viruses and worms. At least 3 tenants had brand new machines that had never been connected to the Internet and all three were purchased from different large vendors. I checked the others and out of 17 machines only one had any issues of that type.

There are 3 access points in the building, all with the same SSID to accommodate any tenants wishing to connect anywhere in the building or in the patio area, similar to a hospitality application. Problem:This "engineer" is now refusing to work on the network because he thinks it's a "difference of opinion" when to me, everything points to a possible defective access point or just lousy administration by this guy. The reason I've come to that conclusion is that at random, my secure connection (WPA2) drops and reconnects as unsecured.

The installer is convinced that random dropping, etc is because of my "defective machine" that never had any issues with dropping from a hardwired connection. He told the apt owner that a direct wired connection to the router would not work. Contractually, we tenants cannot contact him directly with service issues. My purpose is just to get decent access.

Dlink Dir615 - Router Shows Up As Both Secured And Unsecured

Sep 25, 2011

I'm running Windows 7 and have a dlink dir615 wireless router. I've had it for a year and never had this problem before. I changed the SSID to "router" and set a WPA encryption on the router's page. Now this SSID shows up and I can connect to it using the password I set, but it also shows up as a separate unencrypted connection under the default SSID "dlink".

How do I disable the unencrypted connection? I don't know why this is happening. I've set this up correctly a dozen times before.

Netgear Router (DGN1000) Unable To Connect Wirelessly To Secured Or Unsecured Home Network

Feb 15, 2012

I'll try and keep this brief, we were having problems with our netgear router (DGN1000) mainly with connection when online gaming with PS3, generally poor connection - so purchased a TP-Link router (TD-W8960N). We could usually access the netgear wirelessly on our laptops Dell and Acer Aspire 4820T (both Windows 7) without any problems and were still doing so last night. However hubby attempted to install the new router last night and all seemed to go fine but after installing we couldn't connect to the wireless network through laptops, iphone ps3 etc - even though we could see the network with excellent strength, after hours of trying called TP-Link they went through everything they could think of and still no joy. Gave up in the end and went to reinstall the netgear Router and now we have the same problem with this router, even though earlier in the night it wasn't a problem - we deleted the previous networks so there was nothing stored in memory & tried everything we can think of (although neither of us are brilliant with IT we do usually get by).We even set up an unsecured wireless network (on both routers) and still couldn't connect?

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA 4500's Guest Network Shows Unsecured

Feb 18, 2013

I'm not sure why the guest net work is unsecured.  I would have thought that would not be an option but it is unsecured.  How to secure the guest network [2.4 GHz]?  Also when I view the guest list some devices stay displayed whether they are in the vicinity or even turned off.  That adds to my paranoia with the guest network being unsecured.   I also can't edit the screen names to know who the device belongs to like is available in "my devices", forcing me to keep a MAC address list.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Cannot Connect To Wpa Secured E2000 Wifi

Aug 20, 2012

I have an odd problem where every fortnight to three weeks none of my wifi devices (ipap, laptop, 2x android phones) can connect to my network (Linksys E2000, running firmware 1.0.04 with WPA2 personal).  They can all see the network and try and connect, but all fail.  Rebooting the router has no effect, and the only thing I've found that works is that I have to connect via ethernet cable (which works no problems) and then disable wireless security, save changes, and then immediately reenable wireless security and save changes again.  All my devices then will automatically reconnect no problems. It's a bit annoying as my router isn't ideally placed to dig out the cable, but I wondered if there's any way of diagnosing what could be wrong?  I've checked the router logs and they're not useful - the only thing I can see of note is in the DHCP log in the period when I suspect the problem arose I get 4 entries of discover / offer / request / ack going to 255.255.255.255 which seems unusual.  But the security log is empty so I get nothing from that.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E2500 - Different Names For Secured And Guest Network?

Mar 29, 2012

I have a Linksys E2500 router.  Is it possible to have one network name for the secured network and a different network name for the Guest network?  The thought is to not have the SSID of the secured network broadcast while allowing the SSID of the Guest network to be broadcast.  With the convention of simply adding "Guest" to the end of the SSID for the secured network, it defeats the security option of not having the SSID of the secured network broadcast.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Unique And Secured Https Are Not Opening Via EA4500

Nov 23, 2012

bought EA4500 router and successfully installed. The configuration of the desktop i use is - Windows 7 Home Premium SP 1, IE 9.0 and Chrome -23 Dual core Pentium, 2.5 GHZ, 2GB RAM Issue - Many websites, perticularly secured (HTTPS) are not opening up with new router. (Net banking, yahoo mail etc) I didn't face any issue with my old router which is WRT54GH, it is quite old router and did work excellent and working also. I had two calls with CISCO support team, they did check everything and came to conclusion that the issue is with router and asked to get it replaced. I did that but facing same issue. This time i connected my friends laptop to EA4500 along with my personal desktop. My company laptop has following configuration - Windows 7 Enterprise, IE 8.0 Dual core Pentium, 2.67 GHZ, 2GB RAM I tried yahoo mail, net banking websites on my desktop and friends laptop, these websites didn't open in my desktop but no issues faced on friend's laptop. I also noticed that cisco, apple sites are not opening on my desktop but no issue on friends laptop. I tried same thing with my old router WRT54GH, and all sites opened on both the PCs.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E1000 - Can't Access Router Settings After Changing To Static IP

Jun 26, 2012

I installed an IP camera, and had to change my E1000 router settings to a static IP address.  Now I can't access the router settings.  192.168.1.1 is still the default gateway, but it won't open in any browser.
 
I'm reluctant to do a reset because it took me quite a while to figure out how to get the IP camera and port forwarding working (it does!), and I'd hate to do it all again and come to the same place.  I'm not very good at this stuff, and it's a small miracle that I did it once.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54G - Printer IP Address Keeps Changing

Jul 4, 2011

Much of the time my wireless printer is offline relative to computers on my LAN because the IP Address has been changed to some value different than what the computer thinks it should be.  So I have to figure out what the IP Address is of the printer then modify the printer port on the PC to point to the correct address.  If this only happened rarely or if I could easily remember the steps I have to take to remedy the situation, I guess this would not be such a big deal.  But it happens a lot and I'm old and alzheimery.  So my question is: how do I get the router to assign the same IP Address to the printer all of the time?

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54G V8 - Router Won't Work After Changing SSID

Dec 1, 2011

I just reset my router to the factory settings in order to make some changes to it. However, when I tried to change the SSID to a unique name, I was unable to connect my computer to the wireless network. I then reset my security settings and left the SSID to the default name "linksys_SES_54125" and it is working just fine. I tried to connect with two separate computers both running Windows 7. My router is the WRT54G v8
 
why I wouldn't be able to connect to my wireless network when I change the SSID?

Linksys Wireless Router :: E3000 Adding To Network Without Changing Anything On RouteFinder

Jan 5, 2012

I am trying to add the E3000 to my existing network to provide Wireless Connectivity for my users.  The main router is a RouteFinder SOHO VPN (RF560).  The RouteFinder acts as a gateway and provides DHCP.  I do not want to change it's role or settings.  When I added the E3000 using a Lan-to-Lan connection to the RouteFinder, all users lost access to the internet.  As a quick fix as I was working on something else at the time, I just unplugged the E3000.  Now I am reading through Article 3733 that I was originally referred to and that has me changing the settings on the RouteFinder which I do not want to do.  Is there any way to accomplish adding this to my network without changing anything on the RouteFinder at all???  By the way...I am located in another state than this router and network.  I can call and have someone plug and unplug stuff but all of the configuration has to be done remotely.

Wireless Internet On Secured Router?

Mar 5, 2011

I travel some for work. When not traveling my laptop connects directly to my company's intranet via a standard Ethernet connection.While on the road I use a wireless modem to pick up hotels wireless Internet. I connect and then log into a VPN to access my email and websites. This has always worked very easily incubus unsecure public routers.

However twice now , and both times on secure wireless I cannot even connect. My laptop easily finds the signal, usually really strong I click to connect and it never passes " validating identity". I know the secure routers password but it never even comes up to ask for it. Like I said it seems like it only happens on secure wireless routers. In this case it's frustrating because it's when I visit family and their home routers are set up secure with password.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E1200 Changing Out Ethernet Cables / Checking Connections

Apr 25, 2012

ISP : Charter Communications
Modem : Motorola SURFboard SB6121
Router : Linksys E1200
 
I started out installed on the CD and then I kept getting messages about not being set up and finally it kicked me out. So I started out with the basics, changing out ethernet cables and checking connections. I then tried cycling the modem, router, computer and still no go. As soon as I plug the modem straight back into the computer it kicks back on. So then I tried some other trouble shooting ideas on the forums with the last being MAC address clone, save changes, release renew IP, and finally another round of cycling and I still can't get it to work.
