Linksys Wired Router :: E2000 - Security Wired Ethernet Connections

Sep 19, 2011

I have an e2000 wireless router and have several devices connected by ethernet cable including private data on an external hard drive.  I am planning to allow a tenant in another building connect via an ethernet cable connected to my router.  Can I limit that computer (tenant's computer) from accessing all other devices connected by ethernet cable to my router?  I know can password protect wireless access and limit access to the internet that way -- but my question is specifically to connections by ethernet cable.

Linksys Wired Router :: BEFSR81 Keeps Losing Wired Connection To WAP54G?

Apr 11, 2012

I have a WAP54G in my basement shop, wired to our main router upstairs, which is a Linksys BEFSR81.  I'm not sure if this is an issue with the WAP or the router.
 
I only use the laptop computer in the shop every couple of days, but I leave the laptop plugged in and on most of the time.  I used to have the power settings such that it didn't power down completely even after a long time.  With that setup, if i didn't use the computer for several days, it would find that the connection to the router had died.  The wireless link would report that it had a solid connection, but I couldn't connect to anything.  Power cycling the WAP always fixed this.
 
Recently, I decided to save some wear & tear on the laptop drive, and adjusted the power settings to go to standby after a couple of hours.   Now, it seems I can't even go one day without losing my connection.
 
I am running the latest frimware in the WAP, and the router is version 3.1.  I can't check the firmware version on the router at the moment, because the web interface is giving me a blank screen.  I know from past experience that I will have to power cycle it to get it to talk to me again. 
 
In any event, it seems like the router connection to the WAP is timing out.  I set the router "client lease time" up to 10000 a while back when I first had this problem, but that is clearly not doing the trick.

Internet Sharing Between Wired Connection And Wireless Router?

May 26, 2011

I have 3 computers running Windows-7. One computer is directly attached with wired connection to broadband internet modem and other 2 computers are attached through a Wireless router attached to modem. The problem is this that both wireless computers are running internet well while the directly connected computer shows internet connection but no data flow happens. When the Wireless router is turned off the directly connected computer starts working internet.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT120N - Get Wired Connection On PC?

Nov 30, 2011

I'm capped out at 12 mbps service through Mediacom.  My PC is directly wired to the WRT120N.  I consistently test in the 11 mbps range.  
 
I have a very unusual issue though.  
 
I can connect my iphone and Xbox wirelessly through my router with no issues on their side.  However, any time I do so, it kills my wired connection on my PC.  I'm not doing huge downloads or P2P or anything like that.  In fact, the speed drops immediately on my PC the moment I connect my phone to the wireless network regardless of what i'm doing on the phone (checking email or loading a webpage).

Setup A Wired Ethernet Connection To A Wireless Belkin Router?

Feb 24, 2011

I'm trying to set up a wired ethernet connection to a wireless Belkin router. The wireless router works fine - I have several devices that will connect wireless with no problem. The hp desktop I'm trying with the wired connection is showing that the ethernet connection is working, but it's not asking for the wireless network name or security code, and the internet will not work?I made sure the desktop was set up to automatically obtain IP addresses, then I did the "ipconfig /flushdns / ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew commands, but it still won't work.

D-Link DIR-615 :: Router Won't Transmit Wireless When Local Wired Connection Is In Use

Aug 9, 2012

the Xbox part was a windows thing. The router, modem, computer, and monitor, are all on one powerbar. I have used the used-to-be-wired computer (I needed the ethernet cord for something else, haven't gotten around to plugging it back in.) and the wireless laptop loses connection periodically. ALWAYS lose connection on bootup. and also when doing power consuming things. SO, I believe it is a lack of power being sent to the router. wired connections would use less, thats why they are still active, but I assume the wireless transmitter needs more energy in order to function properly. I haven't used the old computer in a awhile now, but I assume if I plug the router into another outlet/curcuit I the problem wouldnt occur. Might need someone wiht more knowledge to confirm this, but I'm fairly certain this was the cause.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Slow Wired LAN Connection On E1200

Feb 15, 2013

I have an E1200 acting soley as an AP.  Everything works just fine, but when I try to copy files from one wired computer(both Windows 7) to another one on the same router(the E1200 in this case), the network utilization is only about 4%.  If I take one of the computers off its wired connection and make it wireless, the utilization goes up to about 50%.  Also if I take one of the compuyters off this router, and make a wired connection to my main router(which is connected via a wired connection to the E1200), the network utilization goes up to 50%.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E1550 Fast On Wired Connection

Apr 2, 2012

I have a Linksys E1550 Wireless Router that is fast as can be on the wired connection, getting 30mbs from the cable modem connection. If I switch to using wireless on the same PC, the max connection speed I'll get is 2mbs. I've changed all sorts of settings trying to get this working right, and it still stays at 2mbs.As an additional note, this router was previously working fine at 30mbs on wireless as well, then out of nowhere this weekend, it started running at 2mbs. I went and purchased another of the same model and it is doing the same thing as well.
 
What is the secret to having this run at it's correct speed, not this slow 2mbs that it is now? I have configured this the same as every other Linksys router I've had in the past, and it is running horribly slow..I'm on the newest firmware as well, have already verified that. The old router was updated to newest firmware as testing to resolve this, and the new router came with it installed already.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54G Wired Connection Stopped Working?

Jun 24, 2012

I have the WRT54G router for years and use it to provide both a wireless network for our home computers and a wired network for by internet phone that connects me to my office phone system and for my work computer and printer. Last week, the wired network stopped working. I checked the wiring and plugged my wire into all four of the ports in the back of the router with no success.  I followed the troubleshooting procedure that I found and changed the MTU setting.  I tried to update the firmware but the screen seemed to lock up and I was unable to complete the task.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Desktops Dropping Wired Connection To E4200

Jan 2, 2012

I lost all Internet connnecitivity on my Linksys e3000.  After determining that my cable modem was connected and working correctly, I pulled the e3000 and put my old wrv54g router in place.  Wireless worked, but all wired connections showed link but no other apparent connectivity.  Neither of my desktops could get a DHCP lease.
 
At that point, I purchased and manually installed a new e4200 router.  All worked fine.  Both laptops connected via wireless and both desktops via my house LAN.  Until this morning (Monday).  Wireless is working just fine, but both wired computers show 100 Mbs connections on an unknown network with no DHCP.  Checking status shows packets going out, but nothing coming in.  Checking LAN status on the router shows that both ports are connected, but it does not appear to receive anything from either desktop.  All was fine last night.  Oh, the router is on 1.0.03 firmware.
 
I have tried about everything I can think of.  Configurations both on the router and the desktops (one Windows XP, 64 bit and one Windows 7) and all seems fine.  I have disabled and reenabled the network connectors, rebooted both the router and the computers, etc.  Nothing seems to work.

Changing ports on router - result the same.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT190N V2 / Wired Connectivity Lost With Wireless Connection?

Dec 28, 2011

I just connected a WRT190N v2 Wireless Router to my XPS 400. When my wife tried to connect our other desktop to the wireless network, everything seemed fine. I noticed that, when she wasn't actively browsing or using the network, her computer would lose connectivity, but regain it when a browser was opened. When I tried to use the XPS, I found that it had no connection. I regained connectivity after using the Windows Network Diagnostic tool, but neither computer seems to keep connectivity when left alone, at least for very long.

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA 3500 Dropping Wired Connection When Online Gaming?

Mar 30, 2013

I  just had Comcast setup my internet and it is really fast. 30 down, 10 up, 40 ping, my connection to my computer (wireless) is very fast and my online gaming (wired) is not laggy at all.The problem lies with the connection dropping when I am online gaming. I connected directly to the modem and there's no problem at all. I connect to my Linksys EA3500 and once I start playing in an online game, I disconnect from Xbox Live and am dropped from the game... anywhere from right away until about 10-15 minutes into the game. This is  the only time where my connection falters at all, otherwise it is great. But I play online a lot, and competitively, so I obviously need a stable connection.I have not had this issue with my previous ISP in New York, Time Warner and that connection was much worse. I'm thinking it must be a setting on the router that is causing this, but I can't pinpoint what. I tried automatic AND static connections from my xbox to the router. On the static connection, I even put a DMZ on it, but to no avail.

N300 ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3 - Wired Connection Doesn't Work / Wireless Does

Mar 11, 2013

I tried restarting the router and the computer, but to no avail. I've also tried with another ethernet cable and tried several ports, but that did not work, either. What is interesting is that other computers in the household connect to the router via wire without problems. I suppose that means something's wrong with my computer, however, I do not know what. I have a netgear router which says "N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3" on the back. My computer has Windows 7 Home Premium installed. I'm using a DSL connection, and Avast! antivirus.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200 Makes Internet Incredibly Slow With Wired Connection

Apr 21, 2012

I saw one post recommending to changing the MTU from 1500 to 1400.  That did absolutely nothing.  My comcast internet is now slower than 14.4 dial up modem I had 16 years ago.  The strange thing is I can sometimes download at over 2 mbps with torrents.  It's mainly loading websites where the speed is so bad.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54GS - Reset Security Button Completely Shut Out Connection

I was in the Wireless tab>Basic Wireless Settings and then I clicked the "Reset Security" button.  I don't know what that did but I've been completely shut out of my connection ever since and I don't know how to fix it. I tried doing the install sequence of the router just now (Clone MAC address, then release and renew DHCP, power cycle modem, router, and PC) but it still didn't work.

No Wired Connection On Belkin Router

Apr 20, 2012

I can get my new PC to connect to my router wirelessly, but not with a wire. I don't get a blinking green light on the ethernet port, but only a continuous orange light. With wi-fi, the PC gets through, obtains an IP address, it's not being blocked on the MAC address.Now, I have the following reasons to think the problem is in the router:

- It's not only my new PC I can't connect with a wire--any other device, Mac or PC, doesn't work, but works with wi-fi;

- my old PC connects fine with a wire. I'm using the same wire, on the same Router port when trying with the new one.

Media Disconnected With Wired Router Connection

Oct 8, 2011

I have a US Robotics 5462 router and a D-Link DCM-202 cable modem on Comcast. I've had this router for years and initially configured it for wireless access using a Windows XP system (this router requires you to configure it via Ethernet and 192.168.2.1). That computer stopped working last year, so I got a new computer running Windows 7.When I first got this new PC, I could not connect to my router via Ethernet (just like I can't now), but I was still able to connect to the wireless network I had previously set up, so I was satisfied.

A year went by, and last week I was suddenly unable to access my wireless network, so I did a factory reset on the router, erasing my previously configured wireless network and requiring me to connect the router to my computer via Ethernet to reconfigure the router. I tried to do this, but despite all of the correct LEDs being lit on the router, I could not access 192.168.2.1. A little poking around on my control panel revealed that my LAN was being labeled as an "Unidentified Network" and there was "No Internet Access." I tried to make it a private network, but that didn't fix the issue.

I searched around for a while and read some advice to try running ipconfig. When I did that, I saw "Media Disconnected" for my LAN adapter. I've tried a few of the possible solutions already with no luck. With the same computer and the same Ethernet cable directly connected to my modem instead of through the router, I *CAN* get online. That's how I'm connected right now. Also, I have no problem accessing any wi-fi networks.

Linksys Wired Router :: VOIP Dropping Connection 2-3x Per Day

Feb 13, 2013

I have a strong internet signal with good SNR coming out of my cable modem, then a nice short 3ft cable going to my linksys VOIP router (I think it's a SPA 2102). Whether I have anything downstream plugged in or not, the "phone" light on the VOIP router goes off every once in a while and when I check I find that I've lost both dial tone and Internet - basically everything downstream of the VOIP router. Have tried every variation on configuration you can imagine (feeding just one phone, feeding the entire phone wiring to the house, nothing at all plugged into the phone jack, no computers downstream plugged in, replaced all the cables, ...). I've replaced BOTH the cable modem and the linksys VOIP router and the problem continues. My cable company says my signal is fine. They suggested a signal amplifier but the coax comes straight to the modem, no splitter, and I'm always seeing 6-7dBmV. My phone company says their router must be losing signal upstream and refusing to reconnect, especially now that we've tried replacing their VOIP router with no change. Any chance I got two 'bad' routers in a row? Not sure what they did for setup parameters. I'm not particularly tech-savvy but have read a lot since seeing these issues, have run my own ping and tracert checks and everything seems to be wonderful... but then most of the time everything IS fine. When I have phone it's crystal clear and when I have internet it's nice and fast. I sometimes go 24hrs or so without a drop, but other times I'm resetting 2-3x in a couple of hours. All I do is power off the VOIP router and back on and everything is fine, for a while. After first getting VOIP things were fine for 4-6 weeks.

Linksys Wired Router :: BEFSR41 V4 Keeps Dropping Connection

Feb 4, 2013

For a number of months now, our Internet connection in an office of 5 computers, 2 Macs, 3 windows boxes (1 as dell  laptop) has experienced the connection of the Internet dropping off.The timing of the 'drops' is usually in the morning, when the Dell Inspiron M510 either boots up or wakes from sleep. Typically the solution is to turn off the modem, the router and switch, wait a few minutes, then turn the switch, the router, then the modem back on. Our connection via the modem is through AT&T, via a non-static IP addy.Our router is a BEFSR41, v4, with firmware up to date (circa 2006) It's becoming a daily chore now, just about, and is getting to be a bit of a headache on some days.

Edimax Nano BRN-6258n - Wired Connection Through Router Keeps Dropping?

Dec 16, 2012

I got an EDIMAX Nano BRN-6258n Router to replace my glitchy Belkin Wireless-G router about a month ago. My typical network setup involves a desktop computer wired to a router and a laptop connected wirelessly.

Anywhere from once a week to twice a day, the internet connection starts (selectively) dropping off. While I cannot browse the web, some of my browser add-ons and Skype/Dropbox are working fine, and Windows almost always indicates a perfectly working connection.

If I am streaming through YouTube or other sites, the stream continues to play after the connection loss.

For AV, I use a combo of Malwarebytes and AVG Internet Security.
