DirecTV DVR Won’t Connect to Wireless Router

When connecting your DVR to a wireless network, the DVR will save the network connection settings. Changing to another Internet Service Provider, replacing your Wi-Fi router, or changing settings on your wireless router such as SSID (network name) or passphrase may create an error condition (86-883) when trying to connect your DVR to your wireless network. You may need to reset your DVR network connections to factory default.

From http://forums.directv.com/thread/11252257 – “On your DirecTV DVR press: MENU ➜ SETTINGS & HELP ➜ SETTINGS ➜ NETWORK SET UP ➜ RESTORE DEFAULTS ➜ CONNECT NOW ➜ GET CONNECTED ➜ WIRELESS. The receiver will then scan for Wi-Fi networks and should find yours. Once it finds your SSID, select your network name. If your network is secured, it will ask you to type in your password. If successful, you will get a message that says ‘congratulations, your receiver is connected to the Internet’. Note that your SSID and/or password cannot have any spaces and/or special characters.”

Easy Jack and VoIP

You can use the Easy Jack with VoIP service if the service provider’s modem has an RJ11 (telephone) port. Connecting the Easy Jack base unit to the RJ11 port on the service provider’s modem will then provide access to the telephone signal at any electrical outlet when using an Easy Jack extension unit. The PX211D is designed for data so if you want to use it for voice, you may experience some static on the line. The PX211V is designed for voice and may provide better voice quality.

Easy Jack May Not Co-exist With HomePlug Products

Easy Jack units broadcast in the 2.8-4.3Mhz frequency range. Products designed to standards of the HomePlug Appliance broadcast in the 2-28Mhz frequency range. HomePlug Alliance standards apply to high-speed, broadband products usually associated with Ethernet connections. Because of this overlap in frequency ranges, HomePlug products can interfere with Easy Jack signals when the HomePlug products are broadcasting. Neither Easy Jack nor HomePlug products broadcast all the time. The E200, EN200, EN500, E4PS200 are HomePlug standard products. Easy Jack units do not usually interfere with HomePlug units because of HomePlug’s frequency hopping capabilities.

Enable Router Limits

For Router Limits subscription service to work on ReadyNet routers (AC1000M, AC1000MS, AC1100MSF, AC1200M, AC1200MS), it needs to be enabled in the router’s user interface. If you bought your ReadyNet router from Router Limits, it comes with Router Limits enabled. There are also several Internet service providers who are able to remotely enable Router Limits so you may want to check with your service provider. If Router Limits has not been enabled and your Internet service provider is not able to do this for you, you will need to log into the user interface (UI) of the router. Type 192.168.11.1 in the URL field of your web browser and log in with the user name and password on the bottom of the router. Once in the UI, follow these steps to enable Router Limits.

From within the router’s UI (192.168.11.1):

1) Click the “Security” tab

2) Click the “Router Limits” tab

3) Choose “Enabled” in the drop-down

4) Click “Save” & “Reboot”

Firmware Updates

Periodically there are updates to router firmware. These updates are posted in the Support section on ReadyNet’s website (www.readynetsolutions.com) by router model. You may have the latest version of firmware on your router. Log in to the router’s user interface and check the Status page for the version on your router. If you do not have the latest version, download the latest firmware version to your desktop then navigate to Management or Administration to upload the firmware.

^Top

Ghost Calls

To prevent ghost calls, adjust the settings in the red rectangle as shown below. These settings are found in SIP Account>Line {n}>Advanced.

These settings instruct the device to only accept INVITEs from the defined IP. The device will ignore scripts that run which probe all publicly accessible IPs for open port 5060. Such scripts cause the ghost call ring.

Once these settings are added there should be no unnecessary rings and security will be enhanced.

^Top

How Many Units Can Be Connected

You can connect up to 8 Easy Jack extensions to one base unit. Only use one Easy Jack base unit per home and the Easy Jack system will only work with one telephone line. Easy Jack base units in the same home will compete with each other, sometimes canceling each other out.

You can connect up to 64 E200 units, though for best performance we recommend you limit the number of units in the network to less than 20.

You can connect up to 8 EN200s or EN500s in a network.

Hum, Static, Buzz or Poor Voice Quality on Easy Jack

The Easy Jack is designed for data so it is common to experience a buzz, hum, or static when using it for voice. Sometimes quality can be improved by relocating either the base or extension or both to a different electrical outlet. Quality of the communication signal between units can be affected by what else is plugged in and operating in your home. Also, make sure the units are not in power strips or GFI outlets.

^Top

Isolate Guest SSID From Network

You can isolate those devices connecting to a ‘Guest’ SSID from your network by checking the following boxes:

1) Wireless > Basic > AP Isolation

2) Wireless > Basic > MBSSID AP Isolation

3) When these boxes are checked, the ‘Isolated’ setting for individual SSIDs will be automatically checked.

4) Now Reboot.

^Top

LAN and WAN

The router has two interfaces, WAN and LAN; each with a different MAC address. LAN is a bridged grouping of the 4 LAN Ethernet ports and the Wi-Fi interface. WAN and LAN have distinct MAC addresses and they are sequential. That is layer 2 of the OSI model. Layer 3 is where IP addresses come into play. By default, the WAN port is set for DHCP. If not connected, there is no IP address, Subnet or Gateway. However, for the LAN side the Layer 3 part is configured. If you go to LAN>LAN Settings you see that the LAN interface is statically assigned its IP and Subnet Mask. In addition, there is also a DHCP server running on the LAN interface and assigning IP addresses from the same network as that of the LAN IP address. This allows you to connect to one of the LAN ports or via Wi-Fi and access the web interface of the router. That is why you see 4 categories with information in the LAN section of the Status page.

To get a list of the devices connected to the LAN of the router, go to LAN>DHCP Server and look at the DHCP client list table.

Multiple Circuit Panels

Power Line Carrier (PLC) products will work reliably if connected in electrical outlets wired to the same circuit panel. If you have multiple circuit panels, units are not likely to communicate if they are plugged into electrical outlets wired to different circuit panels.

^Top

No Caller ID on TV Screen

It is not uncommon for Caller ID display to come and go with the Easy Jack units. Electrical wiring impedance affects the units and will change depending on conditions in the home. For instance, a plasma TV emits enough impedance to disrupt the Easy Jack signal in the right circumstances. Even with dial tone and ability to use phone on the extension unit, there may be times when Caller ID may not display on your TV screen when your set-top box is connected to the Easy Jack.

With satellite TV service providers, there is usually a Caller ID menu option which must be activated for Caller ID to appear on your screen. Verify that this option is selected.

DISH satellite has installed DISHCOMM units with some of its installations. DISHCOMM is PLC technology that facilitates communication between multiple set-top boxes in one home. DISHCOMM units do not communicate with Easy Jack units. For the Easy Jack to communicate properly, an Easy Jack base unit and an Easy Jack extension unit must installed.

^Top

No Phone Signal – Easy Jack PX211

First verify that your phone service is active by connecting a phone directly to the wall phone jack you are connecting to the Easy Jack. If there is no dial tone, the problem may be with the wiring in your home or your telephone service provider. The LED on the base unit remains red until it is connected to an active phone line.

^Top

No Wireless Broadcast

If the router network name (SSID) is not visible to your wireless devices (computer, tablet, smart phone, etc.), the broadcast function of the router may have been turned off. Check the router LED display panel for the Wi-Fi or Wireless light. If not on, log in to the user interface, navigate to Wireless and verify the broadcast and Wi-Fi functions are turned on.

^Top

Port Forwarding

A public WAN IP address is needed for port forwarding to work. If you are unsure if your WAN IP address is public or private, contact your Internet Service Provider. If the WAN IP is not a public IP, it, and all internal devices connected to the router, will not be available to the outside world. If it is a public WAN IP address, all devices will be available to the outside world. The following are some common private IP ranges:

192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255

172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255

10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255

100.64.0.0 – 100.127.255.255 [This range is used by HughesNet for Carrier Grade NAT]

Once in the user interface, navigate to the Network tab and then click the Port Forward tab. Enter values for Name, Protocol, External Port, Internal Address, and Internal Port. Then click Save & Apply. Any requests that come to the router’s WAN connection on the specified port will be forwarded to the IP address and port specified on the LAN side.

Application Port Forwarding for the WRT500, VWRT510, VWRT520, AC1200M and AC1200MS

Login to your router and navigate to Network > Port Forward and in the “Port Forward” section add one port forward rule for each port that you need opened. Note that you also have to enter the IP address of the device to which you want the port to be forwarded.

Xbox Live requires the following ports to be open:

• Port 88 (UDP)
• Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)
• Port 53 (UDP and TCP)
• Port 80 (TCP)
• Port 500 (UDP)
• UDP Port 3544 (UDP)
• UDP Port 4500 (UDP)

Server Port Forwarding for the WRT500, VWRT510, VWRT520, AC1200M and AC1200MS

If you’d like to run a server on your internal network and have it accessible for the outside, then you need to add a “Virtual Server” rule as in the image below. In this example we are running a server on the local IP of 192.168.11.100 which has a web server ‘listening’ on port 81. In order to expose this web server to devices on the WAN side of the router add this following rule.

After you click ‘Apply’ and reboot your router, you can access the internal web server from the WAN side with the URL, http://WAN_IP:8888/ where WAN_IP is replaced with the WAN IP of your router (Status > Network Status > IP Address).

Port Forwarding Example for the WRT300N-DD

Here are instructions for setting up port forwarding in the WRT300N-DD.

1. Log in to the router user interface.
2. Navigate to Advanced Settings>Port Forwarding.
3. In the first table, which is Port Forwarding, enter the first port forwarding. The IP address to enter is the IP address of your device (Xbox, PS3, etc.). You can find it in the Network settings of the device.
4. Click Apply.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each of the port forwards you need.

The screen shot below shows the port forwarding set up on a DD router for a device on the internal network on 192.168.11.100 for port 81.

To access port 81 running on the internal IP address from the outside (WAN side), find your WAN IP (Status>WAN IP Address) and then simply use http://WAN_IP:81/(replacing WAN_IP with Status>WAN IP Address).

^Top

Step 2) Navigate to Advanced>Virtual Server to input the ports to be forwarded. In the image below, we are adding the 10040-10060 range as TCP to be forwarded to the local IP address 192.168.11.100 (statically assigned in Step 1 above). Click ‘Apply Changes’.

For connecting a PS3 or PS4, Sony indicates you will need to forward the following ports:

• TCP Ports: 10050, 10051, 10040 – 10060
• UDP Ports: 50000 – 60000

Enter these port ranges as indicated in Step 2 above. They will be displayed as shown below

Set Up AC1000 or AC1200 as Repeater over Ethernet

Here are the steps to configure a repeater over Ethernet.

Simple AP Setup:

– Log in as user or admin

– Administration > Operating Mode > Basic > Save

– Network > WAN > Service > Select “MANAGEMENT_VOICE” > Save

– Network > WAN > Connection Name > Select “New Connection” [do NOT click Save until next step]

– Network > WAN > WAN IP Mode > Select “Bridge” > Save

– Network > LAN > Local DHCP Server > Select “Disable” > Save

– Wireless 2.4 GHz > Basic > Multiple SSID > [change to the same as the Primary router] > Save

– Wireless 2.4 Ghz > Wireless Security > Pass Phrase > [change to the same as the Primary router] > Save

– Wireless 5 GHz > Basic > Multiple SSID > [change to the same as the Primary router] > Save

– Wireless 5 Ghz > Wireless Security > Pass Phrase > [change to the same as the Primary router] > Save

– Reboot

Notes:

– On the Repeater, the Ethernet ports are now bridged. However, the WAN port is considered the “Management” port and so it’s recommended to use the WAN port for connecting to the primary router.

– You can have as many Repeaters as you want. You should also be able to connect serially (i.e. Primary Router <—> Repeater 1 <—> Repeater 2 <—> Repeater 3)

– Devices connected over Wi-Fi to the Repeater will show up on the primary router (Status > LAN Host) with ‘Interface Type’ corresponding to the Ethernet port on the primary router.

– As the repeater is a true bridge, there is no IP to access it. You will need to factory reset the repeater to access the web interface.

– Any ReadyNet managed router model can be configured as a repeater with the above steps.

Set up Wi-Fi Repeater so Repeater has Addressable IP

On the Repeater:

A -Enable Remote administration (Administration > Management.

Change admin password

Enable remote administration

Save

B -Navigate to Network > WAN and change

WAN IP mode to Bridge. Save

C -Create a new WAN interface.

In Network >WAN, click ‘Connect Name’ and choose ‘New Connection’. Click Save.

D -Set 5 Ghz and 2.4 Ghz SSID to the same as that of the Primary AP. Save

E – Set the 5Ghz to Repeater mode. Click Save.

F – Click the Wireless 5 Ghz Repeater tab and choose the primary APs and connect to it. Save and Reboot

—

Test:

1) Connect to the Repeater with an Ethernet cable and check the DHCP IP that you got. It should be from the primary AP. Check if you can surf.

2) Disconnect the Ethernet cable. Connect to 2.4 Wireless broadcast. The SSIDs are the same on the primary and repeater, _but_ the passphrases are different. Check if you can associate and can surf.

3) Similarly test the 5Ghz repeater connection.

If the above 3 tests are good, then you can;

1) Change the wireless passphrase in the Repeater (2.4 and 5 Ghz) to match the primary AP.

2) On the primary AP locate the IP of the Repeater (Status > LAN Host). Say for e.g. the IP of the Repeater in the Primary AP is listed as 192.168.11.111 then, from the WAN side you can access the web interface of the Repeater with 192.168.11.111:8080 *because we did step A.

Setting/Changing Security – WRT300N-DD

To set up or change security settings, such as your network password, bring up a web browser and type 192.168.1.1 into the URL field at the top of the browser. Log in to the DD’s user interface using “admin” for the User ID and “admin” for the Password. Click on Wireless in the left-side menu; then click on Wireless Security. Enable security, select WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK as the Security Mode. This will activate a field to enter your Passphrase. Enter a passphrase of your choosing and record it for future reference as you will need it to connect your wireless devices. The passphrase needs to be at least 8 characters and we recommend you use both numbers and letters. Click on Apply. Your router is now configured. If you are connected wirelessly while doing this, you will lose the connection and the computer will not respond until you sign back into the wireless network using the passphrase. You may want to also change the SSID when you set up security as your computer may retain the previous settings and not allow you to connect. It is best to make changes to the router while your computer is connected to the router with an Ethernet cable so you maintain connection throughout the process.

Unable to Connect to Router

If you did not check the Connect Automatically box when setting up your router, you may need to reconnect to the router.

Look for the network name (SSID) of the router, either the router’s factory default SSID or a network name you have set up.

Reset the router to factory default settings and try to connect.

You may not be able to connect to the network because your computer, tablet, smart phone or other device has cached some old settings and tries to access those settings when you attempt to connect. By deleting that connection, you will be able to log in with new settings. Search for wireless connections, right-click on the network name, select Forget This Network. Click on the network name and select Connect. You can leave the box checked to connect automatically if you wish. You will be asked for a security key/passphrase. Type in the passphrase where indicated and click on Connect. This should connect you to the wireless network and you should be able to surf the Internet.

Using Easy Jack with DSL High-speed Internet

The Easy Jack will not transmit DSL signals so cannot be used for connecting high-speed Internet signals from a phone company or other DSL service provider. However, if you have phone service and DSL Internet from the same provider, the Easy Jack can be used for the POTS (plain old telephone signal) as long as your service provider has given you a DSL filter. The filter will separate the POTS signal so it can be used with an analog telephone device such as the Easy Jack.

To configure access to the USB drive from devices on your local network, navigate to Storage > FTP Setting. 

Set FTP Server to Enable. To access your USB drive without a password, set Anonymous Login to Enable. If you set Anonymous Login to Disable, then you will need to enter the username and password you set for the router to access the contents of the USB drive. Click Save & Apply to activate your changes.

To access the files on your USB drive from devices on your local network, open the following URL with your browser:

ftp://192.168.11.1 or ftp:// followed by your router's IP address if different. The IP address can be found on the bottom of your router.

(if you disabled Anonymous Login you will be prompted for the username and password of the router)

To upload files to the USB from your device you will need to install an FTP application. FileZilla is a free FTP client that you can use if you would like to upload files and folders to your USB.

The screen shot below shows how you can configure FileZilla to connect to the USB that is connected to you router:

VoIP Call Disconnects, Ghost Calls

To correct for VoIP call disconnections, ghost calls and other similar issues, configure your VoIP router to communicate with only the VoIP proxy server as follows:

1) Log in to your router and make a note of the IP address in the field FXS1 > SIP Account > Proxy Server.

2) Set the field FXS1 > SIP Account > SIP Advanced Setup > Only Recv Request From Server to ‘Enable’.

3) Enter the IP address from Step 1 in the field FXS1 > SIP Account > SIP Advanced Setup > Server Address

4) At the bottom of the page, click on Save. Repeat these steps for FXS2 if it is in use.

5) Click on Reboot to apply the saved settings.

VoIP Rings Spontaneously

To address this issue configure the following two settings. These two settings are in the section FXS{n} >SIP Account > Line {n} > Advanced, of the web interface of the AC1200MS. See the following screenshot.

This instructs the device to only accept INVITE packets from the defined IPs. The device will ignore scripts that run probing of all publicly accessible IPs for open port 5060. When this happens, the device rings spontaneously.

By changing these two settings: 1) no unnecessary ring sounds and 2) increased security.

The process above shows you how to do this manually and is good for testing. To automate this, you can have an auto-configuration server append two additional configuration directives;

DBID_SIP_CHECK_INCOMING_IP_ADDR=1           1         0         0

DBID_SIP_ALLOWED_IP_ADDRS=PROXY_IP        PROXY_IP

Note 1: Replace ‘PROXY_IP’ with the IP of your VoIP proxy server ( FXS{n} > SIP Account > Proxy Server).

Note 2: Values i.e.

PROXY_IP      PROXY_IP

1         1         0         0

must be separated by tabs.

WPS Disabled By Default

WPS is disabled by default on all ReadyNet routers. To enable it, log into the router’s user interface and go to the wireless section. In the D6 router, go to Wireless Advanced and click the Enable WPS box. If you want to use push button setup, click in the box Disable PIN. Then click Apply Changes.

In the DD router, go to WIRELESS>WPS and select Enable; then Apply. If in WPS Config, the option is Disable; then WPS is active on your router. If it is Enable; then click Apply. The WPS PIN is the last line in the WPS Summary section on this page.

To enable WPS in the AC1200M/MS, AC1000M/MS, AC1100MSF, LTE520, or QX300, navigate to Wireless 2.4GHz or 5GHz and then the WPS tab, and set WPS to ‘Enable’ followed by ‘Apply’.

The default WPS mode is PBC (Push Button Control). To start WPS mode, press the Reset or WPS button (they may be the same button) for about 1 sec.

The router is now listening for WPS client connections.

Click Add.

4) Similarly, create an Incoming Filter.

You now have:

5) Change the default policy to ‘Deny’ for both directions (outgoing and Incoming).

6) Repeat steps 2-4 for each MAC address you would like to permit through your router.

Notes:

1. You may also change the admin password (Maintenance>Password), Wi-Fi passphrase (Wireless>Passphrase) and SSID (Wireless>Name (SSID)
2. The MAC addresses of the Wi-Fi and Ethernet interfaces on a PC are different. If you want to connect your PC using both types of connections, you will need to do steps 3-4 for the Ethernet MAC address and for the Wi-Fi MAC address.
3. Once you have added all your MAC addresses, back up your settings file (Maintenance>Backup) so you can quickly restore if settings are lost or reset.
