E4200 v2 is VERY different than the E4200 v1.

I did not [and do not] recommend the E4200 v2 -- the Marvel Chipset used in the V2 is inferior to the Broadcomm Chipset set used in the E4200 v1.

Thanks for pointing out that in the E4200 V2 the way that login's are done has changed from the way done in the E4200 v1.

Kyawa would appear to have it right, and since the OP didn't note which version he has it might be easiest to just try both. I note that on older routers you could enter "admin" for the username or you could leave it blank. Entering the username as "admin" should work in both cases but it wouldn't hurt to try both options. If the username is optional it won't hurt, but if the username is required then there is only one choice.

Kyawa posted : Actually V1 is no username and "admin" for password. V2 is "admin" for both. See page 26.

One the E4200 this will not work. Unlike older Linksys models you now need to use 'admin' for both the username and password as the default.

Has anybody suggested yet that you make sure the PC you are using to connect is not using a fixed IP address that is not on the 192.168.1.1 network? You might want to check your PC's network settings for "use DHCP".

Look above. Also, he's getting the login pop up.

Any one ever come across this problem before?

Yes I have seen that.

step 1. make sure to clear your browser cache and include passwords in the clearing process
step 2. now restart [reboot] your computer
step 3. do a hard reset of the E4200 ... this means push in the reset button and hold that button in then remove the power connector with your other hand .... wait 10 seconds while still holding the rest button IN now plug the power connector back in and wait anoth 10 seonds before letting he rest button free.
step 4. now open your browser and try to login
step 5. when prompted to login, enter “admin” on the password field and leave the username blank

lordpuffer: My computer is a PC. I am using Internet Explorer 9. Yes, I am wired. Yes, wired correctly. This is turning into a real witch hunt - thanks guys for all the input.

lordpuffer posted : Two things. If you are on a PC, use IE or Firefox to connect to the E4200. If on a Mac, use Safari.

Also, in line with the comment above, if you are 'wired,' are you 100% sure you are wired correctly?

Shady Bimmer posted : How are you physically connected to the router? Wired or wireless? If wireless, have you ensured you are connecting to your router and not a nearby neighbor's instead?

When you reset your router, what type of reset did you perform? You need to press and hold the reset button for at least 10 seconds to reset to the factory defaults. Then, the username and password should both be 'admin'.

IPv4 Address 192.168.1.126
Default Gateway 192.168.1.1

Re: linksys E4200

Sun, 26 Aug 2012 10:08:14 EDT

Kyawa posted : I'm assuming you are trying this just using two devices, your PC and the router. Reset the router one more time. Your PC should be connected to a numbered port. No other connections. After your PC boots up, run the command prompt to get the command line pop up box. Once you get this, type: IPCONFIG

Check to see what IP your PC is being and more importantly, the Gateway. Report back.

For the E4200 you may have to enter admin in both fields to get in. I'm trying to remember when I set mine up.

That may be corrrect I found additional information noting:

E4200 Default Password & Other Default Login Data

Default Username: admin

Default Password: admin

Default: IP: 192.168.1.1

Privileges: Administrator

Also note that the admin is case sensitive.

I reset the router 3 times it will not let me in. Was on phone with Linksys for 1 hour, and no help. Any one ever come across this problem before???
I need to get in to set it up.

Thanks for your help
