Hi, I have a WRT610N, Windows XP Pro.

Can anyone tell me what EGHN QOS devices are?  I just installed this new router and they are showing up in my network places.

I'd just like to know:

1)  What is EGHN?

2)  Why is it showing up in my network places?

and

3)  How do I get them so they don't show up in my network places?

Thanks

Craig

Sorry but i don't think that it is related to WRT610N ....

I just hooked up my WRT610N and my Windows Vista install now shows these EGHN devices as well. I'm assuming I could shut off QOS and they would go away. I'm curious as to their purpose though...

The devices are:
EGHN Qos Policy Holder Device
EGHN Qos Manager Device
EGHN QosDevice

When I try to open these, it opens my browser and goes to a page on Linksys's website that does not exist. Does anyone have any insight?

Thanks.

Hi,

That's exactly what I have.  Disabling the QOS doesn't help.  As for them not being related to the router, they only showed up after I installed the router and RoadRnr said, double clicking on these dvices opens up a non exsitant webpage from Linksys.

So my original 3 questions still stand.  Anyone that has any info and can help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I have the exact same problems, does anyone have a solution for this yet?  linksys live tech did not help, all they could come up with was "remap your drives"

i dont even think they understood what i was talking about....

help please!!!

If you hide the PnP devices in the network manager these no longer are displayed.  As of yet, I still have no idea what they are for and what they do.

I've just learned to live with them being displayed and cluttering up the network manager and have moved on to the more serious issue, at least for me, of the router and the problems with the attached USB Storage Link.

As I'm not quite ready to give up on them yet and if you have the money, buy their business network components.  That's the stuff they are good at making.  But, like I said, their business equipment is excellent. 

By the way Sixpack, do you play SO Golf?

Hmm.  Only the not so nice things I said about Linksys/Cisco's home networking equipment and a reference to their competitors equipment got deleted.  I didn't even use foul language.  Just stated my opinion in a nice and pleasant way.  Oh well.

Ok, when you plug in an USB device to the attached network storage port you need to go into the router's webpage and set up a share.  To setup the share click on the storage tab.  You can create your own personal user(s) or just use the router's guest or admin account.  After you set up the share you can access the USB device through your network manager or you can map it and then access it from windows explorer.

If you need more help let me know or do a search on my name and a general search.

SO Golf is Shot-Online Golf from Gamescampus.com.  I only ask cuz I just played a couple of rounds of golf with a guy with the same name.

the wierd thing is that the hd shows up on my xp laptop and my wifes macbook pro...wierd

ill have to check out that gamesite..

hehe

So what OS is not showing the HD?  If it's Vista it won't show the drive unless you map it or add it to the network manager.  Also, in the storage configuration page, click on administration and make sure the workgroup name is the same as you are using for your network.

Vista should at least display the router and you can double click on it and then click on your HD share.  I.e.  in my network manager Vista displays an icon named WRT610N.  I can double click on this icon and see my attached USB drive and all of my shares.  For my general share I have mapped it as the Z:/ drive.

If you go on the golf game, look me up as flux690a.
