microwave interfering with WRT1900ACS 2.4GHz wifi

December 25, 2017, 6:28 pm

Hi,

 

I got a WRT1900ACS router 1.5 years ago and noticed that when the Panasonic microwave is running the 2.4 GHz wifi is down.  I switched all our devices that I could to 5GHz and that helped but some things only go 2.4.  I read online that this means the microwave shielding is going bad and you should get a new microwave.  We got a new Panasonic microwave the other day (that's the brand my wife wanted) and I still have this problem.  Well that's annoying.  The old microwave was 5 years old and I used gift cards to get the new one so not all bad, not worth packing it up and returning it and putting the old one back in place.

 

Anyway, I thought about it and I don't think we had the problem before I got the Linksys router so I figured it must be some specific frequency?

 

I went into the router settings and the 2.4GHz section and changed the channel width from Auto to 20MHz only and this seems to have resolved the issue.

 

Does any of this make sense?  I'm on the latest firmware btw.

 

Thanks

Using a WRT54G router, is it possible to limit internet access to ONLY a set list of mac addresses ?

I am using a WRT54G router.   Is it possible configure the router to limit internet access to ONLY a set list of mac addresses ?

 

I thought I could enter the mac adddress of my PC in the "List of PCs" on the Access Restrictions page, and then only that PC would have access.   That does not work that way.

IPv6 Pass through vs Automatic

Hi,

 

I've been having some problems with certain sites recently on my EA7500 system. Using some network tracing I found out all the affected sites are IPv6, and when it goes wrong the ACK message for SYN message is lost. Anyway, this is rather technical, but I found out that when I disable IPv6 all is fine. However I don't want to use this blunt force mechanism.

 

As a 2nd working option using IPv6 Pass-Through it also seems to solve the issue. My ISP supports IPv6 fine. In this context:

 

- What is the difference between IPv6 pass-through and 'automatic'. (I know what the third option PPPoE is).

- When I use IPv6 pass-through, will the IPv6 firewall still be active? If not pass-through seems not so safe for home usage.

 

Regards,
Ar

AC5400 EA9500 2.4ghz not working

20 year loyal linksys customer here.

Last week I installed an AC5400 EA9500 v1.1 router.

Serial Number:  REMOVED   

MAC: 6038E07907DD 

Model:  EA9500 V1.1

Firmware: 1.1.7.180968

Purchased Nov 30, 2017

Installed Dec 11,2017

 

I am configuring from the app and from windows 10. Everything worked great.   A few days ago in the morning, none of my devices could connect to the 2.4ghz network.  After messing around with the admin console, I performed a power cycle. Everything worked.

The next morning, nothing can connect to the 2.4ghz. I have performed a power cycle, a soft reboot, a wait, a factory reset, etc.   I keep getting Authentication errors. On the Samsung S7 phone, I see "Authentication error occurred."  On Chromecast I see "GoogleCast could not connect to "SSID" - please check your Wi-Fi network name."    Windows 10 shows "can't connect to this network."  I am positive my SSID and password are correct (not funny characters mistakenly typed).

 

I have chaned the SSID, removed the need for a password, change from Auto to 20mhz width, changed to various channels, reset, etc.  2.4ghz will not work.  5ghz works, factory reset, ....  Unfortunately, some devices can only connect of 2.4ghz.  

 

The router is in the box ready to return.  I sent a note to linksys support with details.  Hoping to keep this router if a config can restore 2.4, or exchange it for one that works. 

 

BTW, when it worked, the router was super fast with a great range for 3500 sq ft house.

Does Linksys make a WiFi router that will accept a USB cellular modem?

I’m searching for a WiFi router that will do failover to a cellular connection if my cable WAN goes out. I know some other brands of WiFi routers are capabable of accepting a cellular USB modem and failngover to it. I’ve always trusted Linksys (Cisco) for my Home and business routing needs and would like to stay brand loyal. Is it possible the WRT series could accomplish this since it’s open source? I’m trying to stick to the USB modem instead of a Cradlepoint or Sierra Wireless GX440 due to costs. Thanks in advance to anyone with info.

I bought a certified refurbished EA7500 on Amazon back in early September to replace my aging EA4500.  Just now getting around to installing the EA7500.  When I plug in the EA7500 it just fast blinks.  No wireless network shows up and I cannot connect to it wired.  I have tried to reset it multiple times but nothing changes all i get is the fast blink.  I have tried the 30-30-30 method nothing.  It is almost as if the reset button is not working.  Any suggestions.  (Factory Refurb came with a 90 day warranty but I guess I am technically past that even thought I just now took it out of the box.  I have contacted seller to see what if anything they can do if in fact it id DOA.  If I cannot get it working, this will be my last Linksys.

EA8300 vs Velop 2

I got the call last night from Linksys Customer Service about my WRT3200ACM and was offered the option to get a EA8300 or a Velop 2.

 

This threw me off a little, since I was unprepared to pick which router I should get.  So, rather than clog the WRT3200ACM wifi issues thread with this discussion, I thought I would start a new thread.

 

What are the pros and cons to each solution?  Why would one choose the Velop over the EA8300 or vice versa?

 

From my Googling and watching YouTube reviews, I walked away thinking that the Velop was not a good choice for people with Xbox consoles, since one reviewer said the router does not support uPNP.

 

Is this still accurate?

When fhe EA7400 was first installed we already saw problems with printers HP4620 (Connected to router via USB); and HP Envy 4520. wireless. Two PCs - one Dell desktop and one HP laptop - both running Windows 10.

 

At first both PCs could print from both printers.  Then we started to get "Printer offline" for both printers - most of the time/ Occasionally, seemingly at random, one or both printes come online.  Unpowering and repowering the printers makes no difference.  Looking for suggestions.

Hello everyone. Very much always wanted to use the router is Linksys, but unfortunately I do not have any idea if Linksys will give me an advantage when connecting to my Internet type (DSL technology). Now I have a modem Zyxel in case I connect to it for example the model WRT32 which of the facilities will be responsible for the stability and quality of the Internet:Linksys or Zyxel? I would very much like that such an excellent router as the linkage connected to the modem be responsible for the quality of the connection. Bring clarity, please. I'm tired of looking for information.

I bought a WRT3200ACM and installed DD WRT on it, thinking it'd function properly. Unfortunately, it gave a lot of issues with Wifi and crashing. The goal was to have a router with 2 SSIDs: one that goes through VPN, the other not.

 

Seeing the issues I faced, I wanted then to go back to stock firmware. I tried several things, ending up trying to load the factory firmware via TFTP + U boot (with a TTL cable). I'm now stuck in U-boot with a Bad data CRC error.

OpenVPN next steps

Recently I followed this tutorial on seting up a OpenVPN server on my Linksys WRT1900ACS for my home network. The server address defaulted to the address of the router and I left all the other settings the same. I created a user for the VPN.  I was able to download the OVPN profile and connect to the VPN in my home network but once I got to the library and tried to connect, the connection was refused. I'm made me assume that the firewall needs to allow access port 1194 for the router.  Am I correct in this assumtion? What should I do next?

Avan Derm Nu ladies are the inheritance stylish example and the issues identified with the skin are a genuine point for them. Ladies are generally mindful of their skin condition. They generally get chafed when their skin gets negative marks. Particularly when the skin maturing happens, it's an immense issue for them. Clearly, skin issues generally happen amid maturing, which begins amid the age of 20-30. The skin issue like wrinkles, barely recognizable differences, dark circles under eyes which make skin looks revolting. Some more skin issues like dim spots and dim dark fixes additionally dull the skin's excellence. To expel or vanish these skin issues ladies wanted to do any treatment, or and furthermore went for surgeries. Amid maturing skin gets dry and lost its versatility. Not just from maturing skin lost its qualities, it likewise got negative effect from contamination and daylight. To cure these issues, I get a kick out of the chance to suggest you a superior decision for being in doing surgeries or other skin medicines, Avan Derm Nu.Click here https://www.healthstruth.com/avan-derm-nu/

Gday, Having trouble with the WRT32X, mine does not seem to show any VLAN id tagging function.

Pretty much as stated in the heading. I cant seem to find the vlan tag function and as such I dont think the internet will connect. This was atleast the problem with the last modem. I have already ssh'd into the network config file and cant even see anything with the tag "vlan" in it. I've also tried a firmware upgrade and a firmware rollback. neither of these issues helped. I've seen photos on google images showing a screen on the WRT32X with the VLAN ID yet mine does not... Any ideas would be appreciated.

New EA7500 replaces E2500, now some phone apps take up to 2 minutes to connect to their server

December 29, 2017, 12:14 am

Hello,

 

New to this forum, but long time Linksys user.  Had a WRT54G back in 2003 and used until 2014 when it started rebooting itself constantly.  I replaced it with a refurbished E2500 at that time.

 

The E2500 lasted until the last few months when it began to just cut off all connections - wired and wireless - at random times about 3 or 4 times a week.  Unplugging and reconnecting the power is all I could do to get it to reconnect.  Then it would be fine for another day or three, depending on it's mood.

 

Now, I've purchased and set up a new EA7500 v.2 router to replace the E2500.

 

Wi-fi speeds are great.  Getting almost the full 100Mb/s that the Cox internet we use is giving us (the best I ever got out of the E2500 was, maybe 25Mb/s),

 

The problem is that we have two Galaxy S8s in the family.  On both phones, for some reason, apps that connect to their own servers are suddenly taking up to 2 minutes to connect.  I have two forum apps that take that long to connect home, and the Google Play Store takes about 1 to 2 minutes before downloads for new or updated apps begin.  Once the downloads start, they are fast, but just that initial connection seems to take waaay to long.

 

It seems to be something with this router since that was never the case on the E2500.  Also, if I turn wi-fi off and go to the mobile network, connections are instant with no delay.

 

To be clear, not all sites are affected.   Typing in an address in a browser is instant - even to the same forums that the related app has issues with.  The USA Today app does not seem to be affected.  But other news sites, and every RSS Feeds app I use takes up to two minutes to pull in new feeds.   I've tried uninstalling the problem apps and reinstalling, and it doesn't make a difference.

 

As I stated earlier, problem also occurs on my son's S8.

 

Devices that don't seem to have such problems includes; an old BlackBerry Z10 (apps connect quickly - both BB10 native apps and android apps), an iPhone, two Fire TV sticks, a Kindle Fire, a Wii-U, a Nintendo Switch, 3 PCs (one is ethernet wired direclty to the router) and oddly enough a Galaxy S4.

 

Is there possibly some kind of compatibility issue with the Galaxy S8s?  They seem to be the only problem devices so far.

 

Is there some setting on the router I could check.  I plan to run through it again, maybe resetting it and starting over, but if there is anything else anyone can think of that I should look at, please let me know.

 

One thing I'll do is set a fixed channel.  It was fixed on the E2500, but it's set to auto on the EA7500.  I know it shouldn't matter, but that's the only specifically different setting between the two routers that I can think of.

 

I appreciate any other suggestions anyone may have.

 

Thanks, and good evening.
