You can setup the Linksys E4200 using the Cisco connect software that comes with the router. Make sure that you have active Internet connection through the modem. Connect the main computer directly to the modem and make sure that you can access the Internet through the modem.

What is Cisco Linksys E4200 router default password?
This is a common question about all the routers. The default password of E4200 router is admin. But if you have installed your router using Cisco connect software then router password will not remain admin. It will be changed by the software. Open the Cisco software and check the ‘Router settings’ option for the password.
The router is very good but one of my laptop is not getting Internet when wireless. I can use this laptop in the office and other places and there is no issue. But when I try to connect to the wifi at my home, it is not working. I have another laptop and iPad at home which are connected and on the Internet. Now I am not sure if it is my laptop or the router which is causing the issue.
Trying to get iPad on the wireless network but the security key is not working. I believe I have the correct security password because my other wireless computers are connected with the same password. I don’t know why it is not working on iPad. Can I connect my iPad to the guest network? I have the guest network password also. But I never used the guest network before.
Where can I get manual for Linksys? I would like to change some settings on the router for security purpose. I do not want to install the cisco software because I want some advanced settings. I got it working on the wired computer but the wifi is not working. I can connect to the SSID but Internet is not working.
I can not access the setup page. I did reset my Linksys router many times. The power light is blinking when I press the reset button but still I can not access the setup page using e4200 default password admin. I want to go through manual installation. I can not even run the cisco connect software because I have older desktop.
Can someone post reviews of E4200 v2 wireless router? I am planning to buy a new one for my home. I am not sure which one will be best for my 2 story house. I need strong signal throughout the place.
How do I upgrade firmware? I have downloaded the file but can not open it. I also tried to open the settings page but not able to open 192.168.1.1 page either. I tried to reset it. What is the default password to access 192.168.1.1 page?
I want to upgrade firmware on Linksys E4200 because my connection is intermittent. When I attach my computer directly to the modem, I get good and stable Internet connection.
