i have 2 questions regarding wrt160nl.
1.Is it possible to have ssh or telnet access on the router, with the default firmware?
2.Is it possible to disable one of the antennas on the router, while has installed the default firmware?
I'm using linksys WRT160NL router and it works fine with 2 laptops, but other 2 laptops have problems with disconnecting from network and them it says Limited access internet. It's happening very often and especialy when downloading.I updated firmware and tried different channels, didn't work. Network mode is Mixed, could this cause the problem? Could it be problem with internet provider?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently bought a WRT160NL router. I have a 10/10 Mbps internet connection, but when I am connected via the router it only gives me ~2.5/1 Mbps speeds. Connecting my computer directly to the "wall" results in 10/10 Mbps speeds. I have tried connecting to the router both wireless and by wire, it makes no difference. The internal wired and wireless speeds are fine, as I have copied files over the internal switch and via the wireless network at relatively high speeds. I have not fiddled with any connection settings except creating a few permanent DHCP leases.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a issue with using a Media Server in my WRT160NL. I have tried several firmwares, but issue exists in all firmwares.I tried to play files on my Samsung LCD TV with embedded media player (this player can play files from USB storage or from DLNA servers). I have several video files in mkv and avi format. My TV has wireless connection to router (270Mbit). And I have the following situation:1. I write these files on USB drive, plug to TV, play in embedded player - all OK.2. I have a samsung DLNA server on PC and try to play the same files from PC via network - all OK. (My network - PC to WRT160NL via cable, TV and some other devices via WiFi, but in this time only TV via WiFi.)3. I plug the same USB drive with same files to WRT160NL, go to settings and enable Media Server, choose two folders for scan (one for MKV, one for AVI), scan it. I run player on TV, choose WRT160NL. TV can see all video files, but:- when I try to play mkv file - I have error after several seconds "the unsupported file format"- when I try to play avi file - it plays, but after 20-40 seconds I have error "WRT160NL is disconnected".What is wrong with DLNA server in WRT160NL? Because from other server via router all OK. USB drive in NTFS format, maybe I need to use a ext3 or other file system for DLNA?

I have a Gigabyte M912 netbook that used to connect to Internet over wireless through my old D-Link and had no problems with that.
With WL160NL it connects to the wireless all right, but it does not go anywhere from there. It gets an IP address, connects successfully, but no internet sites can be accessed. Pinging gateway (192.168.1.1) gives 4 request timeouts. Other devices (Acer A500 tablet, sever smartphones, even a blasted Wowwee Rovio) have no similar problems< connecting and seeing each other and connecting to the Internet.
1. I have no idea why that happens.
2. Restarting the netbook, switching the wifi module on and off, removing remembered network settings and inputting them anew etc. does nothing.
3. Manually configuring the netbook to use a predefined static IP address instead of DHCP did not work.
The netbook uses an Atheros AR5007EG module.
I have an issue with new Win8 & IE10. When I try to access web management interface of my wrt160nl (Firmware Version: 1.00.01 B15) via HTTPS I'm receiving the foolowing message:"Continue to this website (not recommended)." If I click on it another error page appears:"Certification error: Navigation blocked. There is a problem with this website's security certificate"
At the same time I'm able to acccess the management interface via HTTPS, but from my laptop with Win7 & IE9. There if I click on the red Certificate Error > View certificate and the certificate information is:Issued by: Linksys Issued to: Linksys Valid from : 1.1.2009 to 1.1.2010
So I'd like to know if I could update the router certificate or what settings should I use in IE10 in order to access the web management interface via HTTPS?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an NTFS formatted USB disk drive (Western Digital My Passport Essential Black 320 GB WDBAAA3200ABK) attached to the WRT160NL wireless router (Firmware Version 1.0.02), and I have video, picture and music files on the USB disk drive in three folders: Videos, Music, Pictures. Auto-scan is disabled, I scan the media files manually by clicking on the 'Scan All' button.
PROBLEM 1 The worst problem is that the router is very sensitive to files that can't be recognized by the router as media files. For example if there are subtitle files (*.str) between the media files, then strange and nondeterministic things happen: some valid media files are skipped and not included in the media database; some files included but the file names are mixed. The most irritating in the bug is that there is no log file, where you could find the problem, and so you never know which file cause the problem, and you have to browse through all the files hunting for the cause.
PROBLEM 2 When the router is in the process of scanning the media files, then the internet (WAN) connection often can't be used, although the router can be accessed and the status says it is connected to the internet.
My University has free Internet at student homes, but we need to login by PPTP to get an official, public IPv4 and be able to reach the outside world. The network people at the University says that when the PPTP is up, everything should be open (no firewall of any kind).
have my WRT160NL that gets a 10.10.73.0/23 address from DHCP on WAN port. Currently I have 10.10.74.21. My internal network uses 172.17.17.0/24.My PPTP-server is located at 10.192.1.1 and when I connect, I usually get an IP in the 158.37.73.0/24-range. Currently I have 158.37.73.28. I use DynDNS to make sure I always know the public IP by the host binders.dyndns.info ...
So, I have Remote management enabled with HTTP and HTTPS, any IP and default port 8080. But no response from the outside world seems to go through.If I turn of the "filter ICMP" but keep the SPI Firewall on, I get ping reply from external sources towards my router, but still no HTTP or HTTPS response.I also have a Torrent I try to port forward to to be active, this is 23277, and this is the only thing that keeps coming up in the incoming log on my router.
It's not possible to connect to the routers management over the PPTP-tunnel?And why can't I get the port forward to work .. Same reason? PPTP 158.37.73.28 -> 172.17.17.100 (LAN) won't work?
my router stop every exact 3 days, why? when it stop , i don't have net connections and i can't send ping in it?

After 3 days of trying to connect my WD Elements 3TB I succeeded with 2 partitions of 1TB and one of 700 Gb not visible from router. I'm ok with that. The problem now is when I copy my files. I'm trying to create TV Series library for my Apple TV. Everything is working fine except the size of the files. When I'm copying files from PC USB they are corrupted on the network storage and not accessible. When I'm copying one file of size 350 Mb on the Network Storage via WIFI working fine but is saved with size of 2,7 Gb.
View 6 Replies View RelatedSo the problem is this: I have a Samsung TV (LE32B650) with the most recent firmware installed, connected via wire with the WRT160NL.The router also has a 320 GB disk plugged in with a bunch of movies.When I use the uPnP media server with Windows 7 PCs (wirelessly) or even a Samsung smartfone it all works very well. However the TV has an issue disconnecting from the media server in just moments from turning the DLNA function.Well to be more precise the TV says the the media served got disconnected.The router has the latest firmware, I have tried with HDDs ane thumbdrives (with just 1 AVI to make sure there is no conflict of unsupported file formats), I exchanged the wire (TV<->router), added guest user to access the partition with all scanned folders.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently acquired a Cisco VPN 3000 Concentrator Series (fairly old hardware) without a manual, and I'm trying to figure out how to 'telnet' or browser into the router to access the IOS.

Can any tell me how to do this or at least point me in the right direction to obtain the user manual for basic instructions?

I found the manual for it after going through some hyperlinks. But when you access the console in the Windows OS, is your network connection supposed to show disconnected, or connected but no internet access?
i have 68 sites with Routers. On each site I have one equipment DIRECTLY connected to the Router that needs to be accessed by telnet port 23.
I have 15 off this sites that the access via telnet to the equipment’s connected after the routers are not working. These sites are using Router Cisco 3925. The other sites that are working are using Routers Cisco MWR 2921.
Both router models are running the same configuration with no filter on it.
The equipment’s after the routers are all accessed directly via telnet without the router. If the router is directly plugged to the equipment the 15 sites with Router Cisco 3925 are not accessed via telnet.
There is any bug related with the IOS version that Router Cisco 3925 is using?:

In trying to make sure it was NOT wide open to the internet (amongst many other problems of setting it up, which I ,may address later if I can actually connect to the thing ever again) I told it to only accept connections from a range of address inside the LAN. Now it wont accept anything except telnet from the LAN.Short of wiping out 6 hours of trial and error configuration and resetting it, are there any other options I can exercise via the telnet interface?
Before 2 - 3 days I bought a PC with wireless lan (RP-WP5122E WL-N PCI-E ADAPTER). I have and laptop, too. My router is Linksys WRT160NL. The laptop have a wireless card with G standart. On speed test makes 14 - 17 Mbps download, which is normal. When I try to download something on my PC maximum speed is 400 - 600 kbps, on speed test is 2 - 4 Mbps. When I connect my PC with cable to my router speed was 10MB/s (80 - 85 Mbps). I try to change channels on wireless network, but there is no change. I downloaded the latest drivers for this WLAN, but the speed is the same. I change the slot on the mainboard and to flash the firmware on my router, but there is no change.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy Setup / I've been lurking on here a while, working hard to understand the basic networking concepts and eventually pursue the CISCO certs. I bought a lab and have since managed to setup a four router config (2610XM-DTE, 2621-DTE, 2501-DCE, and a linksys E1000 with routing, DHCP, and NAT turned off to make it a wirelss access point) with three switches (2@2950 and a 2924XL).
So far, I have managed to bring in my public IP using DHCP, and setup PAT. The network is fully functional, I can ping every interface, and reach the web on host PCs from any switchport. I am also able to telnet into the FastEthernet interface IPd with my public address.
My Issue : My concern right now is in feature support. I recently read on here that CISCO does not support UPnP, and due to my limited resources, I am using the only public IP I have to allow remote testing/learning on my lab. The issue is that I also have a PS3 and XBox 360 on this network that is requiring UPnP for certain online games and features.
The only solution I can see to this problem is to return my public IP back to the E1000 router, which is running RIP Version 2 (white papers said version 1, but a debup ip rip showed that updates were being ignored due to illegal version), and then poing my other three routers to it for outside access.
The questions I have in this scenario:
1. Will NAT still function if I use the E1000 and set the interfaces connecting to it as ip nat inside? I'm assuming that PAT is already hardcoded onto the router to allow for multiple connections to public IP space.
2. If my IP is 68.X.X.X, I set the E1000 to an IP of 192.168.1.1 and the FastEthernet it connects to is on my 2621 with an IP of 192.168.1.2, would it be possible to telnet into 192.168.1.2? If I were to forward port 23 out of the E1000 to the 192.168.1.2 address. Will my login and password for line vty 0 4 understand the request if the original telnet was to my public IP?
3. If all of that is just non-sense, is there another work-around that allows me to acheive UPnP through my E1000, while retaining telnet ability to my lab so I can try things in different scenarios or while I'm away from home?
