No Internet Connection With Linksys E2500

Jul 16, 2012

A couple days ago, our Linksys E2500 router accidentally got unplugged. Since then, the internet has been working extremely poorly (a lot of latency issues plus random disconnects), so yesterday we tried soft resetting the router. This backfired immensely as now the network no longer exists and we can't access either the router or the internet through the router.If we have an ethernet cable go from the modem directly into a computer, the internet works fine (which is how I'm posting). But if we hook the modem up to the router and then another cable from the router into a computer, we get nothing. We can't even see the router.We've tried unplugging the modem and router and then plugging them back in, unplugging just the modem, and unplugging just the router to try to get it back working but that didn't work. We then tried holding down the reset button on the bottom of the router for fifteen seconds then unplugging the modem and router, holding down the reset button with the modem already disconnected then unplugging the router and plugging the modem back in then the router, and holding down the reset button with the modem already disconnected then plugging the router back in then the modem. And then we tried each of these things while waiting a minute before plugging everything back in. Nothing's worked. And everything we've googled to find out how to hard reset the router either says to do something I've already listed or requires using the router's configuration page, which we can't access (supposed to be 192.168.1.1, but nothing comes up when I enter that into my browser since we can't connect to the router).

Linksys Wireless Router :: Cisco E2500 No Internet Connection

Aug 12, 2012

I already have a desktop and modem at home, but I recently bought a new Sony Vaio laptop for college. I also bought a Linksys E2500 wireless router so my laptop could have internet access at home.I inserted the Starter Guide CD into my desktop, created my ID/password, and connected all the cables like it instructed me to but I still couldn't connect to the internet. Instead, several windows popped up with messages like, "Found new hardware. Locate and install driver software, "Insert disc that came with Internet Access Server", and  "Windows could not find driver software for your device."When I tried to troubleshoot, I get something like this, "There may be a problem with your DNS - Windows attempted to find www. microsoft.com using DNS, but server responded back with unknown."I also tried inserting the disc into the laptop, but I still didn't recieve any internet connection, but it says that my router was connected.I tried following its advice to restart, unplug cables, and wait 2 minutes but none of it seem to work.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E2500 Randomly Drops Internet Connection

Dec 27, 2011

I have an E2500 with the latest firmware upgrade (1.0.03). My configuration is simple, I have a fixed IP from my ISP with fixed DNS servers. I have one computer connected via cable and one connected via wireless and a laptop that gets connected on occasion wirelessly as well. I also have an android phone that I sometimes have the networking turned on and sometimes not. That doesn't seem to be affecting the router either as I've lost connections under both circumstances. The only thing I have different is I clone the MAC address as the ISP has my IP linked to my old Linksys MAC.
 
The problem is I randomly lose connection to the internet, the home network is still up it's just the internet goes down. I could be on the computer or not, sometimes while browsing sometimes after I browse for a while sometimes before I get started. Fortunately its not happened during one of my online games but it has happened just after I log off the game. It usually happens a couple of times a day.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E2500 Drops Internet Connection Randomly?

Jan 6, 2012

my E2500 drops the internet connection randomly. I have no issues with wired or wireless access to the home network (sharing files, sharing printers etc...). To fix the problem I log into the router and do a soft reboot from the status page.
 
I posted this earlier and the only response I received was a cut and paste answer to make some changes to my wireless settings. Seriously doubting the relevance of the post I made the changes anyway and as expected nothing changed, the router still loses access to the internet without any warning. When I replied that I hadn't thought that that was the problem but that I HAD made the changes mentioned and as I expected it DIDN'T work I get no response.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E2500 Unable To Establish Usable Internet Connection

Jan 22, 2012

Purchased E2500 1 week ago.  I do not have a problem communicating with the router itself (either hard wired or wireless) but I have been unable to establish a usable internet connection from the router.I live in building that is wired by Restech Services - Ethernet jack in wall - no modem.  Connection works just fine if I bypass router and connect directly to PC (windows XP SP3 desktop or windows 7 laptop.),Very difficult to establish any internet connection at all.  I have to renew IP address many times or go through re-boot sequence multiple times.  Once I get a connection it is unusable.  If I attempt to ping a URL (either from PC or from router admin page) it is unable to resolve host.  If I ping an IP directly (either from PC or router administrator page) I typically get 60 to 80% packet loss.  As noted, if I bypass router and make internet connection directly to PC - no problems - no packet loss.Used Cisco Connect software to set up.  On advice of ISP changed MTU from 1500 to 1300.  Also registered MAC id with ISP and changed from cloning PC MAC to using the router MAC.  Downloaded and installed latest firmware version.  Did factory reset and re-configured the whole thing.  Double checked and swapped wiring.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E2500 - No WAN Light Or Connection?

Dec 4, 2012

Just bought the linksys E2500 as an upgrade for a my Trendnet 150 wireless N router. I have a motorolla surfboard modem with time warner roadrunner cable internet. After connecting the router I have no internet connection. I do not get a light on the WAN connection after the ethernet cable is attached. I know the light works because when I power it on all the lights come on. I cloned the MAC address but this did not work. I have searched the forums for hours and tried different ideas to no avail. My PC recognized the router and I'm able to get to all the settings but cannot establish a connection from the router to the modem. I also tried different ethernet cables to eliminate that possiblilty.

Linksys Wireless Router :: New E2500 Dropping Connection?

I purchased an E2500 router today and it worked perfectly for about 4 hours.  Now it drops my internet connection constantly. I can connect and load maybe 2 pages before that little yellow triangle of doom appears.  Then after 2 or 3 minutes I am good and can reconnect. This cycle just keeps happening.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E2500 - Easiest Way To Extend Connection?

Jul 13, 2011

I just purchased a E2500 wireless router to upgrade from the previous G- router which I was using. I'm not very experienced in tech issues and would like to know, what would be the easiest way to extend my wireless signal through out the house. The E2500 which I just purchased does not cover all the areas in my household.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E2500 Losing Connection Intermittently

May 12, 2013

I've been having issues with my e2500 router. I've found my connection dropping occasionally both with a wired connection and wirelessly on other computer. My desktop is connected directly to the router via ethernet and I've been keeping an eye on my network preference pane. Every 10 minutes or so the connection will be lost and computer says the cable is unplugged. It then resolves after 2 minutes. 
 
I'm running OSX 10.8, firmware 1.0.07. Done a factory reset, power cycles etc. Configured with Cisco connect and manually multiple times. I've swapped out ethernet cables just to be sure it wasn't a cable issue. 
 
Internet is fine when I've got the computer hooked up directly to the modem. No connection issues.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E2500 Blocking New IPSec VPN Connection?

Nov 21, 2011

I have a Linksys E2500 Firmware Version: 1.0.03 and am using the "IPSec Passthrough" for work. On a typical day I'll sign in to my work's VPN, do my work, sign off in the evening, and read my personal email with a direct connection to the internet.
 
Then on the next morning, I am unable to connect to work until I go to http://192.168.1.1/index.asp and click "reboot." And as soon as the modem finishes rebooting, my laptop can connect to work. I've tried this several days in a row now, and indeed all I need to do to get the VPN passthrough working is rebooting the modem.
 
Nothing under "Applications & Gaming" is set. I've seen some posts about having a trigger on UDP port 500, but I'm not quite sure how to translate it for the E2500. Plus I'd rather the router "just work" day after day for VPN and everything else, like my old router did! Is there some other setting to try or clearer directions for a bulletproof IPSec passthrough on that unit?

Linksys Wireless Router :: E2500 - Connection Dropped On Both G And N Cards

Feb 18, 2012

I recently purchased a linksys E2500 for my home network. Occassionally, we have dropped connections, on both G and N cards.The router is connected to a corei3-2100 cpu with 6 gb ram and a 1tb hd, running win7 64bit. Ive bought home plugs for my wife's computer(in the house)and.an outdoor wireless antenna (a CCRANE super usb wifi antenna)  for my computer in the garage. I still get dropped signals in the garage, which is only about 50 ft from the router. My computer in the garage is an AMD dualcore 4400 with 4 gb ram, and multiple hdds.What else can  I do to get a better and more constant connection.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E2500 How To Get Reliable Connection And Speed

Feb 5, 2013

I just bought a new Linksys E2500 router from Best Buy and I need optimizing my router settings so I can get the absolute best performance out of it.  Staying connected and keeping speeds high are a must.I have been noticing connections cutting out at time.  It is frustrating when I lose my internet.we have ~3000 sq foot house... 3 levels (basement, first, second).We don't use all of these at the same time but we have: 2 laptops, 3 iphones, ipad, and a PS3 for online gaming.
 
How can I get the absolute best, most reliable connection and speeds out of my router so we don't experience disconnects?I bought the RE1000 range extender... having installed it yet because the install CD that came with it is the wrong CD (It came with the E900 install CD... which is for a router)I bought the N600 USB adapter which I guess is supposed to update your wireless card for your laptop. I am using that but bars seem low..

Linksys Wireless Router :: E2500 And DHCP Routing Connection

Apr 11, 2012

We are using a domain and Windows Server 2008 machine with DNS/DHCP setup and active to handle traffic on the network.  The old router we had was a cheap (~$20) TrendNet that was configured (not by me) without issue to not only allow the server to handle IP's but also allow us to get in to the server remotely via Remote Desktop.  My cut sheet says they had a "virtual server" setup.
 
Anyways, we now are running an E2500 and if I put in the external IP, Subnet, Gateway, and DNS for our internet provider and then disable DHCP on the router, we don't get internet access.  I'm missing what configuration I need to get the server to handle all the traffic I guess.  The server has DHCP enabled with the router IP address (192.168.1.1) set and the server address is (192.168.1.2).  Like I said before it was working fine with our old router and none of the settings on the server have been changed so must be something with the new router.
 
Do I need to setup something in the advanced routing to get this working?  Currently I have DHCP on automatic and DHCP server enabled just so we can get internet access.  DHCP services on the server are still on as well.  Can't get any access to the server from the outside via Remote Desktop like we could before.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E2500 / Slow Connection On 2nd Computer (notebook)?

Feb 24, 2013

I'm using an E2500 router and an EA2500 adapter (to update my desktop from 802.11 g connection to 802.11n). I've connected my notebook to the network and the connection speed for the notebook is approx. 5.5 Mbps compared to 21.5 Mbps for the desktop connection. why the notebook connection is so much slower?I've just reinstalled both the E2500 and EA2500 tonight. I'm not sure whether or not there was such a vast difference in speed between the two before the reinstallation.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E2500 Connection On Laptop Go Unused For Some Period

Jan 10, 2012

Just replaced a WRT54GS with an E2500. It seems that anytime a connected device goes "idle" for a while, the connection breaks or severely reduces and it's nearly impossible to get the connection back without performing an action at the device in question. Let the wireless connection on my laptop go unused for some period and it reduces to 1Mbps and you can't get back on by just using the link more... you have to do a "repair".
 
Let more than a few minutes pass since you've printed something on the wireless printer and you MUST go to the printer to re-establish the connection by turning the antenna off and then on again.Basically the same problem with my blueray/DVD getting on the network. When I shut the screen off on my phone, the wifi dies and receives NOTHING over that link while the screen is off.
 
None of these behaviors existed with the WRT... just the 2500. Background/facts - current firmware, DHCP with reservations, WPA2/per, MAC filtering in use, UPnP disabled. MTU/Beacon/Frag threshold/RTS threshold set per recommendations on this site.

here is what I have:
 
A) Sonic Wall @ 192.168.1.215
B) Linksys Switch (WRW248G4P) @ 192.168.1.254
C) Linksys Router (WRT160N) @ 192.168.1.202  (Disabled DHCP Server)
D) Linksys Router (E2500) @ 192.168.1.203
E) Windows Server 2003 @ 192.168.1.200
F) There is also a Router @ 192.168.1.201 that runs DD-WRT that has an enabled DHCP Server.
 
It goes something like this
 
i) A - B --ETHERNET-- E
ii) A - B --ETHERNET-- C
iii) A - B --FIBER to another building, then ETHERNET -- D 
 
Everything connects to the internet, but (D) on (iii) doesn't allow connection to the server (E). What can I do to make this work?

Slow Internet With Linksys E2500?

Jun 24, 2012

I have have tried days of online researching and even calling Linksys (CISCO) about the problem I am about to describe.

When I am connected directly to my modem I am able to get around 24 Mbps. Now when I connect to my Linksys E2500 I am only able to get around 10 Mbps. I am really confused by this and I have not seen a solution anywhere for this.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E2500 Connection Speed On Device Stays 72BPS

Apr 8, 2012

I did some testing with a few wireless N routers and then decided to buy a Linksys e 2500 as it was on a special for $66 in Australia.The wireless routers i tested were (Belkin brand new model / Netcomm & Dlink Used ones)1. Netcomm N800n Fastest wireless transfer speed 9MBytes or 72 MBPS.2. Dlink - Around 6MBytes/s or 48MBPS.3. Belkin - Around 4-5 MBytes/secDid not test the Linksys before buying it.4. Linksys E 2500 - around 5MBytes/s = 40MBPS.After all this testing, got a new Linksys believing that a cisco device should have good quality.My problems is that the connection speed on the device stays a 72BPS whereas on the Netcomm / D-link it used to be 130mbps. Not that this bothers me, however the file transfer speed matches the Link status connection speed.The router was placed at exactly the same location, file transfer was checked by transferring large file sizes.Lan setup is1. Belkin ADSL 2+ (Modem with Wireless b/g and Voip) only being used now as an ADSL Modem and VOIP service.2. Cisco linksys e 2500.3. Media centre PC which has a wired connection to linksys e 2500.4. Main PC (Connected wireless to the linksys). The network adapter is a DLINK DWA125 N150 adapter (2.4GHZ only). The distance between the wireless adapter and the wireless router is approximately 12 feet and there is direct line of sight.5. IPAD.5. Using 2.4GHZ as i dont have a 5GHZ adapter yet. Router is only on wireless N mode.I was better off using a second hand Netcomm rather than a brand new Cisco router. The cisco router has 4 internal antennas, whereas the netcomm one had only 2 external antennas. My signal strength is excellent. Only problem is the slow internal transfer between the Main PC and the Media Center PC. Main PC is Core i7 950 where as the Media Centre is a Core 2 Duo e6400GHZ with 4GB Ram. Both PCs running Windows 7 Ultimate (Main PC) , Professional (Media Centre PC). My network knowledge is decent.  Is there any settings in the advanced Wireless mode for the Linksys that can make my internal file transfers faster. [code]

I've looked through so many articles and posts on here, I've fixed the winsock, I tried the netsh winsock and the netsh int ip reset reset.log, but when I put in netsh int ip reset reset.log in the command prompt, nothing happens after I press enter. I've updated through microsoft updates, and updated some drivers from the hp website. Ive repaired, and tried restarting the router, and even the modem and nothing changed. It's still connected, but the interenet still is not working. The modem is fine, as when I disable the wireless connection, the internet works.

What can we do to fix this? Do I have to buy a bigger router?

Linksys Wireless Router :: E2500 Disconnects From Internet?

Dec 12, 2011

I've recently installed the E2500, and it's been mostly great....when it's connected.  Set up was easy, all the devices in the house were recognized, the coverage is excellent, and it's nice and fast.  But several times throughout the day, the wireless signal will simply drop off.  Disconnecting and re-connecting gets it back on, but an hour or two later, it's off again.  It;s fairly frustrating because you'll be in the middle of something, and you'll have to manually disconnet, and then reconnect.  The status will show as "Local".  Running Windows XP with Verizin FIOS.  Old Linksys wireless router never had a connection problem.

Linksys Wireless Router :: No Longer Getting Internet Over E2500?

Aug 25, 2011

My E2500 was working great for the past 3 months, and now it seems to be broken since I cannot access the internet anymore. I can connect to the router via wireless or wired at 192.168.1.1 and play with all the settings. On the status page, I have entries for Internet IP Address, Default Gateway, DNS1, and DNS2 as though I was connected fine to my DSL modem.If I connect my computer to my DSL modem then I can access the internet perfectly fine, so I know the modem is working. However, if I connect the E2500 to the modem, and then my macbook to the E2500 then I cannot access anything other than the router config pages. I have also tried, from the router admin page, to ping "www.yahoo.com" and "8.8.8.8" to no avail.
 
I have tried without success:

1. Renewing IP address from the router status page.

2. Cycling the power on the modem.

3. Rebooting the router.

4. Unplugging the power from both the modem and the router for 10 minutes and reconnecting it.

5. Resetting the router by holding down the reset button for 30s.

6. Using a different computer.

7. Turning off the firewall.

8. Reinstalling the firmware (1.0.01 build 3  May 6, 2011)

Linksys Wireless Router :: E2500 Won't Connect To Internet?

Aug 1, 2012

I installed an e2500 to my cable modem and everything went perfect. Then 2 weeks later the electricity went off for some power company upgrades. when the power came back on the modem wouldnt connect. I have been through every solution in the cisco articles. The computer connects when directly wired to the modem, so I know there is signal. When I place the router into service and use the ethernet connection  the modem no longer displays the active internet led. The e2500 ethernet led to the computer lights and the power led. The Ethernet led from the modem to the router doesn't light. I did a complete reset on the router. The setup software only runs to 75% complete then stops and tells me to check the plugs. Ive checked, replaced and swapped the cables. I've set the MAC to clone, and verified the MAC address via ipconfig. Ive done the complete powercycle at least 20 times.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Slower Internet When Using The E2500?

Jan 31, 2012

I seem to have an issue when with my new E2500 router Version 1 (upgraded to the new fireware - today to elimate issues with that).I had RCN installed a 50MB connection today.When I connect directly to the Modem, I get almost the 50MB of the server, see link from the speedtest. [URL]. However, when i plug the ethernet cable from my Cable Modem to my Wireless Router I get around 15-20MB. Here is an example:[URL]. I know speeds can vary, but if i unplugged and rest within seconds i get my expected 50MB.The cable modem is in the living room, right next to the Wireless Router. I am situated less than 2 metres from the devices when I get results and have full bars.I've tried varying the MTU on manual and also enabled it to adjust as required.
