Logging Into Linksys E3000 Settings

I think that he has a very faulty device... maybe needs to go back and get another one.

I would say flash the firmware but can't even get into the device webpage long enough to do that.

Cisco Linksys has a unique way to reset, pressing the reset button for "some seconds" won't do anything to it... read the guide I posted earlier. If everything fails, press the reset button for 3 secs (until the LAN LEDs blips) turn off the router (keep on holding the reset button) then power up (still pressing the reset button), wait for 30 seconds AFTER turning on... What a hassle...

Thanks for pointing me back to your link. Even though it was for a different router than mine, I tried it the way that it described, using "admin" as the password, instead of the username as shown by default in Cisco Connect, and leaving the password blank, and it worked. Very strange that it doesn't use the login data that it says that it does.

I think that I'm finally getting a handle on this router, but one problem persists...I have to replug the cable from the modem to the router every couple of days, or the bandwidtch gets narrower and narrower. I'm swopped out cables and inspected the ethernet slot on the router, finding nothing visibly wrong. Short of an RMA, is there anything that I can do to clear this up?
