Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200 V2 / Can Connect To Wifi Using Iphone But Emails Don't Work
Jul 13, 2012
I have Linksys configured with IP 192.168.0.x and my local network ip 192.168.1.x have firewall connected to Adtrans box that gives us internet access via T1 line and other port is connected to the switch. Wireless router is connected to the switch using internet port.I can connect to wireless using iphone but emails don't work when connected to wireless. I tried to connect laptop to wireless is does not connect.
When I try to connect new iPhone 4S, it goes to the page for all the info (IP address, etc.) instead of just asking for the password input. I've tried disconnecting router and restarting, plugging iPhone into iMac laptop, etc. (PC is hardwired into server and PC laptop, iMac laptop and former iPhone 3 all connected to wifi w/o difficulty.) Went to site of purchase (12/2011) of Lynksys E2500. They suggested might need to download a driver.how to locate and install updates to driver for E2500 to allow connection to iPhone 4S?
I recently bought myself the E4200v1 router, and have had several issues with it. One issue I cannot seem to find a workaround for is the wifi bandwidth problem.I have a 100/10 mbitl internet connection. The router claims to support 300/450 mbit speeds over wifi, so that should be plenty. in reality however, that isnt so.Even though my N-standard wifi adapter on my machine states it has a 130 mbit connection to the router, I consistently test the internet throughput when using wifi and speedtest.net to around 20-21 mbit. If I put in a cable, I instantly get full speed, 100/10 mbit.
Have to add; I am not new to the networking game, I have a CCNA and a degree in computer sciences, and work with hosting web sites using cloud tech every day. At this point, I have tried everything related to settings on the router, so I can only conclude that there's some kind of bug in the firmware. I would expect the standard firmware to work, and not having to install DDWRT or other custom firmware.
I have a E4200 v1, connected with a few PCs by ethernet ports and various devices by wifi. Now the wireless devices work perfectly but sometimes the PC via ethernet ports cannot connect to LAN and internet.
I recently purchased an E4200, but I am experiencing slow/inconsistent performance and connection problems with iPhone 3G, 3GS and 4. The iPhones are running the latest firmware 4.3. The E4200 has also been updated to the latest firmware 1.0.01 build 10. I do not experience these problems with various laptops, and I did not experience them with a previous Cisco router WRT610N, nor with a D-link DIR825 in another location. The security is set to WPA2 Personal and all the other settings are the same from the prior router. If I disable the security, I do not experience the connection problems, but still experience the slow performance. If I switch back to the WRT610N, I do not experience any problems. this a E4200 firmware issue yet to be resolved?
I cannot get my iPhone 5 to access my wireless network (Linksys E4200) since I reset the router. It asks for the password but doesn't accept it. I'm a newbie so be gentle with me! MSZ

Very difficult to get IP from e4200 at night, sometimes getting IP but not on the Internet, sometimes can not get IP and iPhone get message "unable to join the network "ciscoTNTn""ping packets at night (can't ping):
While iPhone is connected to the Draytek Vigor2600VG good no matter day or night.I re-upgrade fw 1.0.03 and restore factory defaults but still not fixed.Is that a bugs ?
Both the iPod and iPhone were on the network and working and now neither is on and don't detect the network at all. Have turned off and on both devices as well as the router to no avail. My mini Mac is up and running and has been all day.
1. I set a router admin password different from WiFi password(passphrase).
2. I run my Cisco Connect app and it asks me to change my router admin password. If I don't change it - I can not use Cisco Connect app. If I provide my WiFi password then it changes my router admin password.
Maybe it was done to have a "simple" solution - 1 password for everything. But maybe its a bug because router admin password should be different from WiFi password fro security reasons.
I am having problems with connectivity and my iPhone 5. The Wi-Fi is okay in some parts of my home network, however in others it is abysmmal. When I bring my computer to the places where the iPhone has problems with signal strength/staying connected the computers have full or almost full strength and no problems. I upgraded firmware for the router, spoke with applecare, have reset the router multiple times, and have been trying different channels. I had the phone in with the Apple store where they concluded nothing seems wrong with the hardware. The phone doesn't seem to have problems like this on other wifi networks I have tried. Using a speed test on the iPhone at home in the low connectivity areas results in horrendously poor latency numbers.
I am trying long distance to set up above router. Router communicates fine with laptop and wifi printer but when she tries to connect her iphone (I think iphone4), phone states that password is incorrect. She is using the same password that she used for the printer and laptop which is the router default one which is a series of mixed numbers and letters.
I just successfully setup my wireless Netgear router to work with my laptop and desktop. I now want to get my iPhone to connect to it as a WiFi connection. It sees the available network after I enable WiFi, but when it tries to connect, it just says "unable to connect" or something after I input the password.
My current password shows in the Netgear router (through 192.168.1.1) in the "passphrase" field under Wireless Settings, and it's cp6s-n3rb-ziav. This is what I put in the password field for my particular network in the iPhone before it tells me it can't connect.
There is an option on the left column in the router for "Set password," but it's just to change it to something else. If my iPhone won't accept the current one, I don't see why it would accept a new one, and then I'd have to go and change it in the laptop, too. Without knowing if that's the issue, I'm holding off on that for right now.
I have a new Polycom Soundpoint IP550 VOIP phone that was not connecting via my old WRT54GS router. I purchased a new router, the E4200, thinking it was just the age of my original router. It also will not allow the VOIP traffic through. I can connect the VOIP phone directly to my CenturyLink modem and it works. But when I connect it back to the router it stops.
I contacted Cisco support and they had me upgrade the firmware to 1.0.02 build 13 May 24, 2011 version. Also adjusted down the MTU to 1364. That still did not work so they told me to take the router back to the store. I have not done that yet as I want to ensure that the router is really broken and not that I am missing a setting. The tech said that I should be able to plug the VOIP phone into the router and make NO additional changes.
I'm using a WRT54GL(4.30.14) Router with a Charter Cable Modem running 5 computers on the network with 1 being wired and the rest are wireless. When my family comes over they can connect with their iPads and laptops but for some reason I can not get this iPhone 4G to connect. We put in the password and it says unable to connect. Are there any special settings that need to be made to the router to let the IPhone connect?
My laptop connects fine, so I know it is working, but I cannot get my IPhone to connect. I keep getting an error message stating "Incorrect Password" but I know the password entered is correct.
All networking had been working great until recent power failure. Then laptops failed to connect, found my router WRT54G had become insecure. I open the router using "admin", reset Wireless Security and reset my password. Wireless laptops, wireless camera now works fine but now iPhone will not connect? I have double checked the password, it is the same as the router. Is there something else in the router that needs changing for the iPhone connection?
when i go on my iphone and click on the wirless network i just set up, it does not ask me for a password. instead i get a screen titled "IP Address" with three buttons below (dhcp, bootp, and static) with a list of blanks for ip address, subnet mask, router, dns, etc. below that.
When I first set up my router, I used the same user name and pw as I had for my old router and my iPhone connect just fine. I decided to use the guest network after one of my sons friends was sitting outside one morning using my network. I told the friend the pw for the guest and changed the pw for my network and created an key on a thumb drive. Now I cannot connect my iphone. When I try to use guest is seems to work ok, but I want to use my network. I chose my network on my iphone and it simply says unable to connect. That is the only info/choice I am given.
I just purchased a new E4200 router. When I try to set it up, , it says that my software (Lion v. 10.7.2) is unsupported. Is there a download that will allow me to use this router?
I set up my new E4200 to forward port 7300 to a computer on my LAN. I had this working on my Linksys WRT160N and copied all of the settings so they are identical to those on that router but forwarding does not work. I have tried single port forwarding, multiple port forwarding and even DMZ with the same lack of results.
I have an HP LJ4050 plugged right into one of the open LAN ports on my E4200 with a CAT6 cable. Can this router work as a LAN print server? I can't pull up the IP on a browser window or ping it successfully.The 4050 doesn't have USB capability and I don't want to use the parallel port on my PC unless I have to.If possible, I'd like to have wireless computers on the network be able to print to it as well.
why Windows Backup in Windows 7 pro 64 would not backup over the network to a drive I have connected to the 4200s USB port? Everytime I run it I get a Access Denied error at the end, even though data has been transfered. After about 5 hours of searching both here and Microsoft's website, I just get lots of people with the same issue that hasnt been resolved anywhere consistantly.
I have the 1.0.03 firmware installed and URL blocking doesn't work. I assigned the policy to the entire address range and could still access the web site I wanted to block.
I'm looking to purchase the E4200 and use an external HDD with enclose as a NAS (probably just a backup drive), specifically this model. [code]The HDD would be a 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3.Does this router allow for USB 3 connections or at least fallback to USB 2? The first comment on the external enclose says so otherwise.
Model name: Linksys E4200 Model number: E4200 Firmware version: 2.0.36.126507 Operating system: Windows XP SP 3 Software version: 1.4.12005.2 Connection type (WAN): DHCP
My Canon MX882 multifunction printer is connected to the router via USB cable. The printer works. The scanner does not work.
I have tried both old firmware (2.37) then the Cloud firmware and now back to 2.37 again. the parental controls seems kind of fool proof but anyhow they dont work for me.If I set the internet access as denied at certain times, if the client is already connected when that time occours, it can continue to use internet (until it disconnects and tries to reconnect). Happens almost every time. And the biggest problem is that if I try to block internet access for a device like a cell phone, even though the user can not access the internet through the web browser, apps like Facebook, games etc can still access internet. Kind of useless parental control?!But I have tried to reset, reflash etc.Also I find this router pretty unstable, the only device that works flawless is my iPad (3), the laptops and cell phones at home loses internet connection every one and then, even though it seems like they have good connection to the router. Never been a problem with my earlier routers.
My BOSS have a iPhone 3GS. He tells me that iPhone wireless connect to his home AP. Why he has to input password everyday whenever he first time wireless connects to WRT54G at office. What should I do for my BOSS to wireless connect to WRT54G without input password everyday? By the way, I set wireless security as WAP2-personal AES.
I recently connected E1500 to time wanrner cable modem for my home. 3 laptops work fine, but iphone and ipad can not connect to wireless. But iphone and ipad connected to linksys guest automatically.
I just installed my Linksys E1000 and it seemed really easy. I allows the Guest Option, named the Network and put in a network Password. When I try to connect the phone, I don't get the screen on the phone that asks for the PW. I can connect as a guest, but it does connect with out even asking the guest password.
