Linksys Wireless Router :: EA4500 / E4200v2 - Is Classic Firmware 2.0.37 Vulnerable

Apr 12, 2013

Is classic firmware 2.0.37 for the EA4500/E4200v2 vulnerable? I see that the workaround is to use the latest Smart Wifi firmware. How soon can we expect to see a classic firmware update? [URL] Linksys quote taken from a random review that I found on Amazon below......The manufacturer commented on this review(What's this?) Posted on Jul 26, 2012 9:53:51 AM PDT Linksys says: (MANUFACTURER) Jason, Cisco Linksys plans to offer Software Updates to the EA Series router for customers who choose a local management option (including Cisco Connect/Classic). We will continue to provide Customer Care and deliver SW Updates to address Security, Critical Bugs and User Interface issues as required. Customers can comfortably stay with the local management option and Cisco will deliver continued support.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E1550 Classic Firmware Support Of EA Class

Aug 9, 2012

I may be replacing my e1550 soon and am looking at both the N750 and N900 class devices.  While the EA3500/4500 seem to be a really good deal with a lot of bang for buck, I do have one concern...
 
As I have zero intention of ever using Cisco Cloud Connect, I would need to stick with the Classic firmware.  While Cisco did quickly push out a solution to get the routers back to Classic after the initial Cloud Connect  deployment fiasco, I cannot seem to find any commitment from Cisco to continue to support the classic interface (other than "“Cisco will continue to support both local and cloud management options for our customers.”). Even more disconcerting is that the current evidence seems to indicate that they are not. [code]
 
So, while I do understand that many of the updates have been Cloud Connect specific, some of these changes are in fact global/driver updates.  As an example, according to the release notes, on June 25, 2012 the EA3500 CCC firmware v.1.1.38 (Build 138143) updated the WiFi driver, apparently the Classic never received this update.

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA4500 Is Classic Firmware Stable Or Buggy

Apr 6, 2013

I just ordered an EA4500. It should be here in a few days. After reading most of the 45 page Cloud Experience thread, I am leaning toward using the Classic Firmware. I have read the release notes but want your input:
 
1. Is the Classic Firmware stable or buggy?
2. Are there any features (besides cloud) that won't work? dual band? usb storage? dlna?
3. Where is user manual for Classic users?

Cisco Firewall :: 887 - Changing From ZBF Back To Old Style

Sep 29, 2011

I have an 887, I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the ZBF. I would like to change it to the old style firewall, but using the CCP it says I must delete the ZBF policys first - fair enough, I deleted all the rules so the firewall looks blank, but it still doesn't want to let me change the firewall mode - saying I must remove all the policies first.

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA6500 Won't Update Firmware?

Apr 4, 2013

an EA6500 router that has intermmitent connectivity issues.  Went into the configuration page and saw he was a couple versions behind on firmware.  Used the online update option, firmware downloaded and then indicated that router would reboot.  Did not power off router or leave the configuration web page.  Watched light go out on router and come back on, but the spinning wait icon never went away after 5 minutes.  Powered off and on and was back at the same point with the old firmware still.  Downloaded the firmware to local drive and applied from local file, but same results.  Waited 10 minutes this time.  Surely it doesn't take more than 10 minutes for the router to reboot itself from a firmware flash?
 
Gave up on trying to update firmware and configured wifi settings.  Left friend's house and then got a message about 15 minutes later that the router had locked up again.  If he pulls power for 2 minutes it will then work for another short period of time. 
 
Is there anything that can be done to try and restore normal operation to this particular router, or are these all signs of a hardware failure and the unit should just be replaced?

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA6500 Apparent Firmware Bug Report

Oct 8, 2012

I recently swapped a EA4500 for an EA6500 and have been experiencing intermittent Internet connection issues, specifically periodic disconnects (as some other users have reported). The router is connected to a Motorola SB6121 Cable Modem with Comcast as the cable provider. I contacted Comcast and they specify 1500 as the MTU size. With the Router set to Auto, I experience the periodic disconnects. When the MTU is manually set, I still experience the periodic disconnects, and I noticed that a ping test specifying the packet size with the -l switch results in a fragmented packet and is only resolved when the ping packet size is reduced by 28 bytes. Thus, it appears that the MTU specified on the router fragments all packets of that size and up to 27 bytes less than the MTU setting. For example, with the MTU set to 1500, all packets 1473 or larger are fragmented; with the MTU at 1444, all packets 1417 or larger are fragmented. I believe there is a bug in the current firmware, which I have installed on this router as version 1.1.27.141816. Regardless, even with the router set to Auto, the correct packet size is not properly detected and di

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA6500 Doesn't Start Up After New Firmware Update

Mar 27, 2013

I made a big mistake and updated my EA6500 with the wrong firmware.I selected "ver.1.1.38.149770" which I shouldn't have done since it's for the the EA6700 which i read aftwerwards....how stupid can one be Anyway, the device is not started up as it should.I'm able to use it as a cabled router but it's not sending out any wireless signal and the led light is blinking.A factory reset obviously didn't work since the firmware was wrong.So, my question is if it's possible to revert to an older firmware using the USB port?Or for example push a firmware using an ADB command if it's possible to connect using a cable?Or in some other way?

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA6500 Firmware Bugs Reported To Cisco Support

Oct 19, 2012

In the EA6500 Device Tab of the connected devices all the information should be considered as wrong or incomplete.  The router and all devices set to static ip addresses work fine but you should use another information source as to what and where devices are connected on your network. Cisco says they are aware of the bug and are working on a firmware update.Also, reported to Cisco, when and if using Windows 8 and IE 10 the restore function does not respond with the IE 10.  Works fine in Chrome and earlier Internet explorer.
 
Bugs are to be expected in any new device, but time will tell as to how fast Cisco fixes these issues and timely releases firmware updates to us their consumers.  The connected device tab information bug needs a quick fix because anyone relying on the information would be working to connect devices that are already on the network or maybe listed with the wrong mac or ip address.

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA3500 Classic Speed Test?

Jun 30, 2012

I did a simple speed test comparing my EA3500 and Linksys WRT54GL. I used DSL Reports for the test. I was quite shocked and am wondering if the difference is due to the poor wireless driver in the Classic firmware that was updated in the Cloud firmware. Here are my numbers: EA3500, Classic firmware Download average 475 kb/s Upload average 725 kb/sLinksys WRT54GL Ver 1.1 (latest firmware) Download average 3250 kb/s Upload 725 kb/s
 
Needless to say I have gone back to my trusty WRT54GL until Cisco decides if it will update the Classic firmware and give us 2nd class Cisco customers the same hardware the 1st class Cloud customers have. Time will tell.

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA6500 Downgrade To 1.1.27?

I am deeply disappointed in the last firmware upgrade and due to security and sudden lack of certain, or let's say all, functionality in bridge mode I need to downgrade or wait for an upgrade where that's fixed, but most likely not soon, or ever. Where could I find the firmware downgrade.

Linksys Wireless Router :: DSL Modem To Go With EA6500?

I have an EA6500 which obviously has 4 Gigabit ethernet ports for my home network, but I need a DSL modem to get it working.What's the maximum speed current modems can supply from the Internet to my router, is there such a thing as a Gigabit capable DSL modem these days or am I dreaming ? Is it possible to even get Gigabit dowload speeds via DSL or would I have to go cable to achieve something like that ?My main concern is I don't want to buy a modem that will slow down or 'throttle' the capabilities of the new router I've just purchased or have I got the wrong idea ?

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA6500 Without Routing / Using WAN?

Dec 29, 2012

I would like to use the EA6500 in my network - but nor as primary router (or in fact routing at all). I would have thought, one could simply tell the device to use a particular gateway, but it does not seem to be easy. I have used many other home routers as combined switch/AP/USB-drive (latest a D-Link DIR-655), but the EA6500 seems very picky. The "easy" "Smart Wi-Fi" setup requires internet access through the WAN port - and that divides my home network, which then have two zones which cannot really "talk" to each other. Alternatively, I can reset the device and access it directly on the IP (initially 192.168.1.1). But then I can change only LAN and WLAN settings. Stuff like Guest Access, USB-devices etc. won't work. Do anybody have success with this device without using the WAN port and the DHCP server?

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA6500 NAT Redirection Bug?

Nov 20, 2012

I have a pair EA4500s that I am swapping out for a pair of EA6500s.  One EA6500 is a router.  The 2nd EA6500 is set as a bridge and us being used as an Access Point about 200ft and two floors above the main EA6500 router.  The two units are connected via DECA (200MB Ethernet over DirecTV cable - an alternative for others with a cable provider is called MOCA).  So, basically two EA6500s serving as two Access Points on opposite sides of the house and all wireless networks on different channels but all sharing the same SSID.  Everything works GREAT except for one unusual issue.
 
The issue is with wired or wireless clients.  If I try to use my PUBLIC address with port number to address a local client on the local network inside the NAT network the NAT redirection fails.  In other words if I use 172.16.16.8 for a local web cam while inside my network from an iPhone or PC all works great.  If I use the external public address, however, the connection times out.  If I pop out the EA6500 doing the routing/NAt and swap it with the old EA4500 with basically the same config as the EA6500 everything works again.  The EA6500 and the EA4500 are configured identical for the most part and with the EA4500 as the main router NAT redirection works great but with the EA6500 NAT redirection fails.  I have the firewall setting to FILTER NAT REDIRECTION unchecked so that's not the problem.
 
Seems very odd.... and only seems to happen with the EA6500..... the work around is to use the local IP address when the client is on the inside and the public address when on the outside, but what a pain that is....

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA6500 Getting Different Ip Instead Of Default Ip

Nov 27, 2012

i setup my new EA6500 with the ethernet cable from my cable modem plugged into the EA6500, but with my old E4200 still switched on, but disconnected, i seemed to have ended up with a ip address of 10.250.27.47, not the 192.168.1.1 i was expecting, which i had with the E4200, my question is, is 10.250.27.47 something i should expect with the EA6500, or do i need to do a factory reset on the EA6500 and start again with everything else switched off as a precaution ?

Linksys Wireless Router :: BEFW11S4 Connection Goes Out And Itself Come Back

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA6500 Broadcasting Two 2.4 MHz Channels?

Oct 30, 2012

I set up EA6500.  All kinds of problems with anything on the 2.4 MHz band.  My wireless desktop on the 5.0 MHz band was flawless.  So I ran Xirrus Wi-Fi Inspector (freeware).  The router is transmitting two 2.4 MHz signals!  One is the SSID I set up and named.  The other one is identical in every way except that the BSSID is slightly different.  It is a non-broadcasted SSID that shows up on every device as "Other Network."  I was on the phone with Cisco Support tonite, and they were great as usual but had no answer.  If you change the channel on the 2.4 MHz band, the shadow network also changes to the same channel (this blew the Tech's mind).  We reset the router to factory settings and started over.  They are calling me back tomorrow.  This router has great features on paper, but so far, it has not delivered.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Functionality Lost On EA6500?

Oct 2, 2012

The only way I could get my EA6500 to work as auto DHCP to my Roadrunner Motorola SBV5220 Surfboard cable modem was to disable IPv6 support on the router.  It appears that the EA6500 attempts to issue the DHCP request for address assignment from the modem using IPv6.  I could see the status of "Connecting" for IPv6 in the Diagnosis Reports and it would hang.  Once I disabled IPv6, the modem assigned an IPv4 address and everything worked fine.  However, am I giving up any functionality by having to do this?  I bought this router and the WUMC710 Universal Media Connector for the 5GHz connectivity for streaming and just wondered if I'm impacting UMC performance or any other functions of the router by having to disable IPv6.

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA6500 NAT Multiple IP Addresses?

Jan 23, 2013

I currently have my EA6500 behind verizon fios router. I have 5 static IP addresses assigned to FIOS router, however the machines I want to connect to are behing EA6500. It's a dual NAT scenario:
 
Public IP - FIOS Router - 192.168.1.0/24 network - EA6500 - 192.168.2.0/24 network
 
What I would like to do is for each public IP address, I would like to forward traffic to a particular host on 192.168.2.0 network. I can easily configure FIOS router for static NAT and assign one internal IP (from 192.168.1.0 range) for each public IP. However, I don't see a way to assign multiple IPs from 192.168.1.0 network to EA6500 internet interface.
 
I don't want to use EA6500 as a bridge as it will pretty much reduce my EA6500 to a very expensive GigE switch.
 
Is this possible? Or should I replace it with something more useful like a business router? This is for my home so I would like to avoid buying an expensive business router.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Unable To Connect To EA6500

Apr 13, 2013

I just bought the EA6500 last week. Had to RMA it on Monday and got the new one today. The issue still persists. The power light is constantly blinking and my computer is unable to obtain an IP address from it. I contacted tech support and was unable to get the issue resolved so I had it exchanged believing it was defective. The new one does the same thing. When I connect my computer to it, the light on my Ethernet port stays a solid orange instead of green like it does for my usual router. The Cisco light is constantly blinking.
