My EA2700 must be replaced. My only complaint about the EA2700 is its short range. I am looking at two possible replacements. The Linksys EA8300 Tri-Band WiFi Router for Home (Max-Stream AC2200) seems to have all of the performance I will ever need at a reasonabl price. My concern is that I have never seen it mentioned in reviews as having good range. The Linksys WRT AC1900 Dual-Band+ Wi-Fi Wireless Router is often cited for its range but it is an old technology router. I guess my main question is, will the EA8300 have better range than the EA2700?

The router is for home use in a two person household that does some media streaming so our demands are not high. Is there another router that would be a better choice than the EA8300? Thanks for your advice.

Recently I was issued a new company laptop/tablet as I work remotely. I'm now having issues with the VPN. It shows that I'm connected to the VPN but when I try to access my companies intranet i get a DNS server issue. I didn't have this issue with my old laptop. There is no issue getting on to the web via my EA7500 router so it's strictly a VPN issue. I've by passed the EA7500 an am using my modem and can log into the VPN succesfully that way. So the issue has been isolated to the EA7500 router.

I've checked the firmware and it says it up to date with version 1.1.5.190349. I've also checked to make sure that the IPSec, PPTP and L2TP were enabled. Not sure where to go from here but would like to get this resolved.

Someone in my neighborhood keeps changing their 2.4 GHz channel to match mine. I initially changed to avoid interference, but each time I change, next morning I find this "neighbor" has changed to same channel. I've been through this channel-changing exercise several times in the last week. I've last changed SSID, and passphrase for 2.4 channel, including using Auto channel setting. Auto channel setting does not appear to change channels automatically if nearby same channel. Other strange thing is neighbor's signal strength is stronger than mine own....even when sitting 5 feet from my E4200. I don't noitce the same problem with 5 GHz channel. I've considered turning off 2.4 channel but then some legacy devices won't have wi-fi (e.g., spouse's laptop, Blu-Ray player with Netflix setup). Anyone with thoughts about why someone would intentional do this....or might neighbor unknowingly have their Netgear (named device) on some automatic setting (always seeking my 2.4 channel/SSID)? Or worse yet, neighbor is traying to hacking into my LAN? Any thoughts, even as "wild" and "off-the-wall" as they may be?

Hello, dispite all the other issues with the EA8500 (SMB Security flaw, non-functioning parental controls/network map/flawed FTP server, horrible guest-network implementation) another one has sprung up. It appears that the 2.4 Ghz band has some real issues maintaining connections with clients. Clients begin disconnecting and reconnecting constantly, with the only remedy to reset the WiFi signal on the router or reboot the client device (in my case I have three extenders 2 RE7000 & 1 RE9000 that are the only clients for the EA8500).

Can this please be looked into? Its quite annoying to have to reset the extenders every few days to make this issue go away...

This is the log pulled from one of the RE7000 (connected via cross-band back to the EA8500)

I have had the E1200 for a few years and it start getting flaky on the wireless.  So i bought a new wireless router the EA6350.

The way i have my network setup is a cable modem is plugged into a software firewall/router/DHCP (OPNsense) that has ouput for the LAN that runs to a Unmanaged Switch that everything is plugged into.

The EA6350 DHCP is disabled and the computers are getting there IP's from OPNsense.  I use the EA6350 as just a AP.

The OPNSense IP is ***.***.***.1 the EA6350 is set for ***.***.***.2, now i want to work on the E1200 so i set it to ***.***.***.3.

It took a little working with but i was able to get it to work.

Now my main goal is to have the EA6350 by the OPNSense machine in my basement, supplying the main WIFI and use the E1200 as a Reapeter up stairs.

What settings do i need to set in the E1200 to make that work also, when i go to log into the E1200 ***.***.***.3, through a web browser, the login screen and first page are fine.  But the rest of the setting pages are all messed up, white background no borders just simple text (ill try to get a picture later).

Hi there, I am currently using a EA8500 in my living room but experiencing significant speed drop in my bedroom (180Mbps in living vs ~20Mbps in bedroom)

I am considering buying a second device to setup in my bedroom to solve the problem, here's the questions.

1. If I buy a Max-Stream router for this use, is it the case that I can wire them up and keep all my existing wifi settings with seamless roaming?

2. Do I still enjoy MU-MIMO in my bedroom if my second device supports MU-MIMO, or will this feature be lost?

3. Do I need to manually reconnect to my main router when I move from my bedroom to the living room if I am using seamless roaming? If no, what's the difference of using this setting and using mesh routers (say velop)?

I am very new to networking so the questions may be stupid

Does Linksys sell network secuirty software? I called customer support to get help setting up my new range extender and the support tech insisted that I let him remotely get on my computer and then showed me how I had too much network traffic and need to purchase Netsafe from them at a cost starting at $150!  All I wanted was help with my new extender and I thought I was calling a reputable company! Now I'm worried about how they had remote control of my computer that now my computer is compromised?!

I have WRT1200AC with OpenVPN Server running. Clients connect normally to LAN behind the router. 

Can I connect from one client to another client's web service? ping from first client to the second one does not work. 

Thank you and appreciate the help,

Can I connect an older Linksys wireless router with a cable to the AC2200 tri band mesh router. I have a WRTg54g and G2

What settings? I can't get either one to work and I have done this before so I have a little experience and getting a little frustrated.

So far I like the new tri-band router. Very good one floor away but two floors the signal is pretty lame. Prefer not to spend $200 on a node if a router will work.

Thanks

I've spent about 10+ hours on this to no success and I'm hoping others may know what's going on.... this started happening after a power outage (no storm, just outage due to summer load here in AZ). It happened a few months ago as well, but removing power for a few minutes in the modem and router seemed to solve the issue.

The bottom line that is that while using android devices with the wifi, some sites/content returns ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE or never loads; LAN is fine. It's easy to check as the speedtest app won't resolve the server when the issue is happening. It also looks like the devices aren't showing up in the network map in the router GUI when this happens even when the devices are connected.  

Config:

Linksys WRT 3200ACM running 5GHz and 2.4GHz, and each with a different SSID. Firmware 1.0.6.186168.

SURFBOARD SB6141 connecting router to Comcast Xfinity cable ISP.

Devices that definitely exhibit the issue:

- Two Samsung Galaxy S7 android phones running 8.0.0

- One Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 <-- this one shows the exclamation point next to the wifi icon when the issue is happening

Devices that don't seem to be affected:

- Amazon Fire stick (only use Amazon video, Hulu, and Netflix, and these may not show the issue anyway, so it still might be affected)

- ANYTHING connected via wired LAN to the router

Things I've already tried:

- DNS change to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

- Chrome cache clearing on clients

- Factory reset on modem and router. There was a brief 20sec or so after this that things seemed to work okay, but then back to the issue.

- Using guest network SSID-> this briefly seemed to work fine (for most of a day, I think) and then started to also show the issue.

Any ideas? This is super frustrating and I'm about to ditch this router, but feel like the issue might not be resolved....

Ok i have had the EA9500 for about a year now. For the first few months seemed to be great but its running my speeds down to nothing. I have tried all the apparent work arounds to no avail. 100mbps from isp which i can get while plugging directly into the modem. HOWEVER once the router is introduced it will drop down to around 8. Wireless on the other hand after doing a complete reboot of router will get around 30 but then drops down to around 3 or 4  mbps down and 8 upload. Is this just a 300 dollar paperweight or what?

I want to login via ssh to my wrt32x router.

Stock firmware  Version 1.0.180404.58

After correct ssh login (login root, password OK) i got connection close.

In router log:

Sun Aug 25 23:29:33 2019 authpriv.info dropbear[17825]: Child connection from 192.168.99.169:54094
Sun Aug 25 23:29:39 2019 authpriv.notice dropbear[17825]: Password auth succeeded for 'root' from 192.168.99.169:54094

How can I log in?

I have a wireless security camera system run by a Linux based computer/DVR, two wrt54g routers, and a Verizon Jetpack for the Internet. The DVR is only wireless to the cameras; not to connect to a network. It has cat5 for that. So, I'm trying to find out how to connect the cat5 cable from the DVR to one of the wrt54g's. Then connect that wrt54g to the other one wirelessly. And then, connect the second wrt54g to the Verizon Jetpack. All this so I can see my security cameras on my phone or computer.

And, after searching for hours, I've realized how ignorant I am of network/router lingo so I really need a layman's explanation.

Thank you for any and all help. I'm ready to jump off a roof!

Hi everyone I have a  EA 3500 that used to get pretty good LAN speed but since I bought a new modem's which is a Motorola 7420 and increased my Internet speed from 50 mbps to 200mbps download. I am now only getting 25 to 35 mbps . When I run  my connection straight from the modem to my pc I get speeds up to 198mbps. I have tried cycling the power, turning off media priority which was already set to off, I have also restored the previous firmware and updated that firmware to the the latest all of which had no effect on download speeds. However experimenting with media priority I noticed a slight increase in download speed, it went from 20 to maybe 35 mbps.  Is there a way to fix this issue ? or maybe a work a round to my LAN ports working as they should. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks  

I have two WRT1900ACS Wireless Access Points have significant failures.

I have seen some complaints on Amazon regarding this specific piece of hardware being less than reliable. 

Seems to be a difficult time getting addressed via customer service as well - super duper frustrating. 

Am I super lucky to get lemon devices out the series or is the WRT1900ACS known as a POS?

Hello,

I have bought 750 mbps up/down from my provider about a month ago. The problem is that the lan ports from my provider have a speed of 750 up/down, so that is good. But, the lan ports in the EA9500 router don't go higher than 300 mbps up/down.
Also the wireless speed is not more than 250 mbps. 

I would like to know how i can improve this, because i bought this €250 router so i would have high speeds, but the speeds of my provider's router (currently disabled) are better!
