    i'm trying to set up xbox live but, the wireless adopter on the xbox is not finding any networks whatsoever zero, zip, nada, zilch which makes me believe port forwarding is the problem.

    This makes me sad.


    You need to enter nothing in the username field and the password field. The UpnP is disabled by default. Turn it on. Try that first before bothering opening ports. Xbox adapter should be able to see your network without any changes as it is broadcast by default also.

    In case you haven't found this before, another reason to throw away your epc2425:

    Just for some (late) closure on the problem i posted, it turned out the "xbox 360 wireless adapter" was faulty. Was nothing to to with the router in the long run!

    All it working fine now and as people said, it recognised the new adapter instantly.

    I have an old NTL 250 modem, I've an engineer coming on saturday should I make him leave me with this or take the Cisco off him? I have the modem plugged into my linksys WRT54GS so will not any issue with the modem. So will I hold onto the NTL 250? This is manufactured by Ambit and according to the specs should handle up to 40Mbps

    Guys I have this modem too. Generally it works find and I like the way it automatically forwards ports using unpn. i get by far the fastest torrent downloads I've ever had, but browsing goes to sh1t when I'm downloading, that's if it works at all. I get loads of "Resolving Host" messages and lots of blank pages, clicking refresh does little.

    Disable the router firewall(which helped me) or switch off 'ip flood protection' so says another poster on the forum I had read somewhere :).

    What do I need to get to use my decent router I bought before switching to UPC? I disabled the firewall, enable UPNP, and disabled ip flood protection. Do I need to restart the router for it to take effect?

    This router/modem is the biggest pile of junk, worse than the netopia router I first had with Eircom (which was terrible)


    Als o when I do restart it, I have to reenter my WPA key, and it takes about 15 minutes to get backonline, as the US & DS flash for ages.

    I didnt have to restart it for them to take affect. I notice since the firmware upgrade this week that a new option called 'Gateway Mode' has appeared under Setup.

    I have sworn that was never there before. Anyway, it has the option of 'Router' or 'Bridge'. It just might be the holy grail of bypassing that router into bridge mode once and for all?

    thinking of changing to upc 5mb and see i'd have to pay €50 for this router. Is it really that ****e? I will have my xbox connected to it via cable and there will be 3 laptops using the wifi, though rarely all at the same time.
    Could i just get the standard modem and share the connection over my existing eircom Netgear dsl router via bridging?

    Is anybody using their own wireless router instead of this piece of shít? I'm having a nightmare time trying to get a slingbox working over the internet with this thing. Also, one of the older Dell laptops in the house just flat-out refuses to hold a connection the WLAN.

    I believe I read somewhere that you can plug in your own router to this UPC abomination and share the internet through the second router? But will this make connecting and sharing devices remotely even more difficult? Has anyone got a good setup going? Any recommendations etc?

    Using a Linksys WRT610n with the UPC Cisco EPC2425 (wirless disabled). Works a treat. No dropping from the 5 or 6 devices I use.

    I just logged into the page on 192.168.100.1 and I can see that it now has an option for bridge mode.
    This wasn't there before, I've enabled it and now my PC has a real internet address.
    So this means its now possible to use the 2425 as a modem only if you don't like the router/wireless in it.

    What an absolute pos this modem is. I have been trying to configure my network around it and it is nothing but headaches. I finally setup an old wrt54gs router as a wireless repeater to extend the usable range of the network. Today the EPC decided to reset itself back to the UPC settings. Changed the SSID, wireless channel etc. It must have been done remotely. My gf had to use the wired connection until I got home and promptly uploaded the backed-up config file. Anyone else seen this before?

    The next time a UPC rep comes to the door he's going to get an earful

    So much as a power cycle is enough to reset them back to a lot of default settings.

    Yup. I had mine reset twice the day I got it. Needless to say, I kept at them until they changed me to the old router.

    Has anyone set the EPC2425 to bridge mode only and used a separate wireless router to do the routing successfully?

    So did you just connect the 2425 directly to your main PC, make the change to "Bridge" mode, reboot and then reconnect the now "bridge" modem to your other router and that router then to your main PC......And Bobs your Uncle??

    In my case it's a Linksys WRT350N. Set Cisco to bridge mode (after which it responds on 192.168.100.1 instead). Ethernet from normal port on Cisco to the Linksys WAN port. Linksys gets everything by DHCP and does all routing/port forwarding.

    Is it a proper bridge mode though? If you connect your pc directly to the cisco router, and the linksys on the other, you should get two external UPC IP addresses.

    Thanks. I have the scientific atlanta and a linksys 54g running ddwrt. By changing the internal switch configuration, I have one lan side port assigned to the wan side switch. That means I have a second IP address assigned by the UPC dhcp server if needs be.

    If UPC have enabled a proper bridge mode then people can just solve their problems by buying a decent router. :)

    It quite happily gave out another public IP to another simultaneous device.

    I am also unable to access the setup area of this modem. I gave it a new password when sorting out the port forwards, but it is not accepting it now.

    I think the new update has changed something in the setup (& password?) as I cannot access my PC with VNC through the internet now, only through the local network.

    I am considering holding the reset button down for 10 seconds for a "factory reset". Does anyone know if this will reset it, keeping UPC settings or erase everything?

    Would be great to fix the VNC, but would be in trouble without the net tomorrow! Thanks

    Setup the bridge mode on the 2425 modem last night, rebooted the modem and my linksys router and it works perfectly. All routing activities now controlled fully by the Linksys router. It could be my imagination but the wireless connections now seem more responsive (quicker). And was able to torrent a file (legal) at 3.4Mb/s on average last night to my wired PC! Vroom, Vroom!:D

    How do I set this up? Is it difficult... I want to use my own wireless router rather than the cisco one supplied.

    im now even more upset with the Cisco crap. it wont allow streaming from my PC to my xbox. tried it for the first time today since having the modem installed, and my xbox cant pick up the pc, or vice versa. tried every software thing i could find, to no avail. of course, im pretty sure the port is blocked, but i cant open it...

    anyone using this same model that got streaming working?

    Did you enable Upnp on the router. It is set default off.

    Xbox must use windows media player to stream but you probably have that set up. Allow the windows media player network service on your PC firewall. Set up your PC firewall to allow the IP range of the router and new IP of xbox. You will have to re-find the xbox in windows media player even if service was previously allowed using another provider. I prefer to give my xbox a fixed IP in the setup on xbox itself. You can then open all the ports for that IP on your router for online play and streaming. Or just tell the router the IP address of xbox is in the DMZ which is an option on the router also.

    Holy shít, I think I love you. I've been having so many stupid problems with my cisco router. It won't save my dyndns settings, it likes to change back to defaults, it likes deleting my port forwarding settings. The one in my parents house just doesn't seem to like my brothers laptop and wouldn't let it connect over wireless. I sorted that last one but it's still a little iffy (works fine on mine though, boggles the mind).

    I have my project for tomorrow. If it works I may just have to marry you. You had better be a hot babe with stupidly big tits.

    I was very excited to try this feature when I saw it today but excitement turned to dismay very quickly. When I turned on bridge mode, my laptop got an IP in the 192.168.100.x range, not a proper UPC WAN IP. I could not get it to connect to the internet, and at times my router configuration page would suddenly become inaccessible for no reason.

    Anyone have a similar experience?

    If you log into the bridged modem on 192.168.100.1, it should show almost no options now, gateway mode and wireless only. There's no options for a DHCP service/pool in that state, so I'm not sure how it managed to do that.

    There is one possible difference then. I had the DHCP service turned off already in normal mode, before changing it to bridged mode. I wonder if that has any impact.

    Short answer NO, at least not for me.

    I just got this new modem/router yesterday, as I got the phone service.
    I have been an UPC broadband for 5+ years and had a really old modem (just modem), so they had to replace it with this.

    My first complain was that I like my router (Apple Time Capsule) and didn't want to use the new one (and this was even before I found this thread). So I quickly play with it and found the gateway option. Switch it to bridge and it immediately acts as a modem (not router) and I was set-up as before.

    Unfortunately I've notice that if the router is on Bridge option, the phones won't work. I don't get a dial tone at all. I've tried this back and forth several times with the same results. Router mode phone works, bridge mode, phone doesn't work.

    At the moment I've resorted to set the TimeCapsule on bridge mode so at least I can have both playing nicely together and I get the 802.11 n (5Ghz) wireless of the time capsule.

    Problem is that the cisco is managing all the connections, so port forwarding and firewall is done by it. As this is only 1 day old not sure how it will behave.

    I've it acts up as described on the forum I'll call upc to see what's the story with the bridge mode and phone service.

    BTW I tried to find more documentation on the internets and nothing.

    Does anybody knows how UPC phones works. I'm guessing this is VoIP through SIP. I've I could access the admin part of the modem and get the details I could configure my proper cisco ATA device and work around the phone issue. Any ideas?

    How did you resolve the wireless laptop issue?

    I'm having awful trouble with wireless connections to this modem. There are 2 wireless laptops in the house and they used to work!!! No while they find my cisco router they can't connect saying theres a problem with the security connection / key.

    I had the whole 'resetting itself' problem a few weeks back and contacted UPC support. they ran through resolving it with my i.e. by renaming the SSID and password and a couple of other bits and I got the laptops to connect ok. But they just wont connect now at all.


    The PS3 is also having terrible trouble connecting but if I keep resetting the modem and PS3 it eventually connects.

    Were you issues similar and how did you resolve them?

    Cheers

    Ok all resolved now.

    Phoned UPC tech support after I posted the message above. Spent approx. 15 minutes waiting and the person I got talking to couldn't resolve the problema nd said I needed to speak with 'Second Line Support' as the problem is with wireless connections and not my main PC which is plugged direct into the router. Anyway she said they were busy so expect a callback.

    No callback that night but did get a text the next afternoon saying that my problem should be resolved.

    Got home checked the laptops and PS3 and all working. Don't know what they did but it worked!!

    Any ideas what they did?

    How did you resolve the wireless laptop issue?

    I'm having awful trouble with wireless connections to this modem. There are 2 wireless laptops in the house and they used to work!!! No while they find my cisco router they can't connect saying theres a problem with the security connection / key.

    I had the whole 'resetting itself' problem a few weeks back and contacted UPC support. they ran through resolving it with my i.e. by renaming the SSID and password and a couple of other bits and I got the laptops to connect ok. But they just wont connect now at all.


    The PS3 is also having terrible trouble connecting but if I keep resetting the modem and PS3 it eventually connects.

    Were you issues similar and how did you resolve them?

    Cheers


    I'm not even too sure. I re-installed windows and the laptop connected fine to my cisco modem. Brought it up to my parents and it just would not connect. I can't remember the exact steps but it involved a lot of restarts (modem and laptop) and installing/uninstalling loads of windows updates/ drivers. It was just pure luck I got it to work.

    I also have this POS router. I had the wireless working using another router to broadcast the wireless , this has unfortunatly stopped working and I am having trouble getting it back working again. In order to use a seperate router to broadcast the wireless do I just need to disable the Wireless access point on the cisco ? Anything else ? Everytime I try that when the PC reboots its unable to get a connection when the secondary router is connected to the cisco. Any help would be appreciated...
