  1. I just changed the Internet service provider from Cable to DSL. I started from the scratch and followed your steps of Linksys E3200 setup manually. It worked. Thanks

  2. Linksys E32200 router not working.
    Cannot Connect To The Internet. I have purchased a new E3200 to replace my old Linksys router. It locates my computers and sets up a network, but cannot connect to the internet via my Comcast cable modem. I have read on this forum about Mac address issues, but it has located the Mac address. The internet IP address is all zeros, and releasing and renewing the IP does nothing.

  3. Trying to connect Linksys E3200 to the new location. Got a new ISP at my new location. It is a cable connection. I can connect the computer directly to the Internet modem and it works fine with that. I tried running the installation disk that came with my E3200 router but it is not working either. Did reset the router many times. I think I need to upgrade the firmware as I read that could be the problem.

  4. Thanks for your help. I am satisfied with the service that you offered. I was not able to access Internet through E3200 but when I connected computer directly to the modem, it was working. I upgraded the firmware and changed the advanced settings that you suggested. Now it is working working better than before.

  5. Can not connect to the wireless network on new laptop. Other old laptop is connected and I can access Internet on old one. But the new one has problem connecting to WiFi. I t is running on Windows 7. When I enter the network key, it stays there and says not connected.
    Also want to know the guest network password? I did not install Cisco connect software so I am not sure where to find these settings. When I try to open 192.168.1.1 and it also requires a password. I tried default password admin, but that did not work. How do I find security key.

  6. What is the default password to access the configuration page?
    I have tried to open the page with the admin password but it is not working. I don’t if I have ever installed Cisco software to get this device working.
    If I reset the router, I will have to reconfigure it and that is what I hate to do.

  7. The router is good but it is dropping wireless connection sometimes. I have a laptop and a PC connected in the network. The PC is connected with the Cable and laptop is wireless. The PC is working good but laptop drops Internet once or twice in a day. I did upgrade firmware and changed some advanced wireless settings but the problem is still there.

  8. My router is not working at all. I have not installed the Cisco software. I am trying to change the settings manually. When I connect the computer directly to the modem, I can access the Internet but when I connect the modem to the router and the computer. I can not get on the Internet. I have DSL connection. I tried PPPoE as well as DHCP Internet connection type but nothing is working. One more thing, I was never able to use the guest access when it was working.

  9. MY router is sending weak wireless signals. I tried changing the wireless channel but still there is no improvement. The signal is only 2 bar and I am also getting slow Internet speed. Another problem is guest access.

  10. Can not connect to the wireless network on all my wireless computers. I installed the Cisco software and got my wired computer working. But when I try to connect to the wireless or Guest SSID, the connection fails. I tried to uninstall the Cisco connect software and did it manually. The same problem with all the wireless computers. I think there must be a problem with the unit itself.

  11. What is Linksys E3200 default password? I tried to reset and then enter admin but it is not opening the router page. I have to open ports on the router and can not open the configuration page. Also if I uninstall the cisco software, will the guest access work?

  12. The guest network is not working. I can access the Internet when I connect to the guest network. I entered the correct guest access password but when I open the Internet browser, I get page can not be displayed. The main network is working without any problem. I have not installed the cisco software.

  13. My Cisco E3200 is dropping the connection to the Internet. If I plug the computer directly to the modem. It works great but as soon as connect it to the e3200, it will start losing the connection.

  14. Guest network access is not working. I have connected my netbook to the guest network but I can not access the Internet on my netbook. It did not ask me for guest access password either.

I tried to reset it many times but Linksys E3200 default password is not working. Manual setup is also not possible now. What can I do?

  18. Thanks for the help JIM. My E3200 has started working again. It was working before but somehow I was not able to access the Internet on all my computers. The CIsco software did not work either. I started by resetting it and reconfigured it manually. The instructions were really good and easy to understand. Also the guest access is working and I have my friend connected to the guest access.

  19. Thanks for the help. I got my network working again and all my devices are able to access the Internet without any problem. My son pressed the reset button. I was not having my installation CD to set it up again. Your guide is very helpful and easy to understand. I can not use the guest network also.

  20. I got the Linksys E3200 default password and I can access the setup page also. But I am not able to save the settings. Whenever I click Save settings, it does not do anything. I can not even change the wireless network settings. I was looking for the guest access password because I was not able to connect to the guest access. But now my main network is also not working as well as the guest access. I think I should simply upgrade the Linksys E3200 firmware and reconfigure it.

  21. What is Cisco E3200 default password ? I am trying to open the setup page and it requires a user name and password. I don’t remember if I have ever ran the Cisco software on my computer. I don’t see any icon either. Is there any default password? If not then I think I need to reset it and reconfigure it.

  22. Where is Linksys E3200 manual ? I was looking for online manual so that I can change the settings manually. I tried to run the installation CD which failed many times and I still can not setup my brand new device. I have 2 wireless laptops and one desktop. The Internet service provider is comcast cable company. I can access Internet when I connect my desktop directly to the comcast modem. I also want to use Guest access for my clients.
