Linksys Cable / DSL :: WAG120N Upgrade Firmware Version (1.0.0.16)?
Jun 11, 2012
I made the change WAG120G (GREAT) for WAG120N (**bleep**) and I confess that I was somewhat disappointed, the quality of the company fell dramatically. Unlike its predecessor this modem / router is bad in many ways and first of them is support for Macintosh products, the connection drops constantly and have to get on and off the wifi to work. The modem restarts and constantly drops the connection status and its predecessor NEVER did that. iPad, iPhone and Macbook can not even keep me surfing for more than one hour, the connection just stops working. Even the cable connection, my Xbox sometimes worth it to maintain a stable connection in Live. The modem has been updated with the latest firmware version (1.0.0.16). Another thing I noticed is that the modem takes A LOT to connect with the operator. It's bad, it's expensive and does not work! I
I just upgraded my WAG200G for WAG120N (I'm brazillian and its the latest model here). The modem/router came with 1.0.0.7 or 8 firmware - i actually don't remind - and I upgraded to 1.0.0.16, which is the latest made by Linksys/Cisco. At this point I started testing the modem/router and I started getting problems. The range isn't as good as the older WAG200G. In my house I have 3 laptops, an AzBox Premium+ and an Xbox 360 S (the slim version which has wifi built-in) to connect to the WAG120N by WIFI. The 2 desktops are wired connected.Everything seemed to be working perfect for I was just testing the 2 wired computers first. The second task I had to do was configure the Xbox 360 wifi connection. The Xbox is less than 6 meters from the WAG120N and the signal just. But thats OK, at least the console recognizes the network and I would soon be playing again - what I thought. But I was wrong. Despite the console recognizes the network, it was just impossible to connect. I spend 2 days to figure out why all Laptops could connect to WAG120N and the Xbox 360 couldn't.
Xbox 360 detect but don't connect. I expected that somewhere I would find the answer but I couldn't. Luckily I had a click on my mind when I was at a Microsoft website looking the list of routers that supports the Xbox 360S. That list had 2 parameters, the modem name and firmware version. Yeah, "WAG120N / 1.0.0.11". It was really hard to believe that all around the world people have the same problem I was having and the solution was something so. but for the Linksys developers who destroyed the modem with bad firmware programming.Then I started to search where I would find the WAG120N 1.0.0.11 firmware just to give my idea a try. Unfortunately, there wasn't any website from which I was able to download that firmware. But I found the 1.0.0.12 firmware somewhere and make the firmware downgrade. Yeah, my Xbox 360 S could, after 2 days, finally be connected to the wireless network and I was able to play online and achieve gamerscore points again.
Even though I was able to play, the Xbox had a problem when connecting to the Xbox Live. Hopefully, this time, the Xbox 360 could tell me what was wrong. The console displaied a message saying my NAT was Moderated and I should configure my router and change the Moderated to Open, something like that. The problem is that the WAG120N doesn't have any options beyond Enable or Disable the NAT thing ( which particularly I didn't searched what it is yet). It means that I will have an unstable connection when playing. I have configured my Xbox to manually connect and I opened all the doors people said would enhance the Live connection and nothing worked.The other problem was the signal range. I don't know if it can be caused for the bugged firmware, didn't tried to see if the 1.0.0.16 firmware has some improvements over this, but the signal range just . I don't know how much newer this WAG120N is when compared to the WAG200G, but it can't be possible this newer modem has low signal range. I mean, my home is just a standard apartment. Signal should be at least normal every place.I don't know if the developer team fix firmwares based on what we say here on forum or it I'll have to email them, but if I could ask something for the new 1.0.0.17 firmware is that you, for the love of god, may this firmware Xbox 360 compatible, as the later versions was. Ah, just to remind, its not just an Xbox 360 problem, another member of this forum said this same problem appeared not just in his Xbox 360, but his laptop too.
I have a Cisco Linksys WAG120N running with the firmware version 1.00.12, and it's working a quite fine.During some tests with the nmap command under Linux, I noticed that beyond the ports 80 and 433, another opened port 32764 shows up running an unknown service.This unknown service keeps running after scanning for ports between 1-65535 using nmap in stealth mode. But after querying the modem for operating system fingerprint using nmap but not in stealth mode, this port closes and the service disappears.
By using a browser to access 192.168.1.1:32764, a 12 byte "<random_prefix>.exe" file is download, and its's recognized as a text file. The file contains a "MMcSÿÿÿÿ" string, and the bytes in hexadecimal are "4d 4d 63 53 ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00".And also, something strange happens after this unknown service goes down: Accessing the modem setup via browser, the settings displayed are different than I commonly use. the encapsulation is set to "Bridged Mode Only" instead the "RFC 2516 PPPoE", and into the Status Tab the Current Time field says "Time Zone string Error". Still in the Status Tab, in the Internet Connection information the "Login Type" is a misspelled "UNKNOW", the interface says "Connected" to a well accessible Default Gateway., the same displayed into the Routing Table Entry. Th Applications & Gaming Tab is unaccessible.After power switching the modem off and on again, everything comes back to normal again.
I happened to update firmware version of my WAG54G2 to the latest version 1.xx.xx.19. Since then connection to internet has became erratic. If rebooted, the device mostly doesn't connect. Switching to PPPoE from PPPoA and vice versa works but i have to do it every time the device is rebooted. Sometimes even that doesn't work. Basically it acts random. DSL connection shows as connected, but the internet interface is mostly down. I was wondering if i can switch back to to old 1.xx.xx.10 version. It never gave me any trouble ever for around 2 years.
I have a Cisco E1200 router that is currently running firmware version 1.0.03 build4 Mar 1, 2012. Can I upgrade to the latest version 2 firmware ? How do I know if my router hardware will support it ?
I tried to download the new firmware version (2.0.04) for Linksys x2000 hw version 1 Annex A: error 404 page not found.Same issue with 2 different machines on different internet connections.
i went through the website and figured that my firmware is 1.01.05 and there's a new version availble which is 1.01.09 for my Linksys WAG200G modem since im having problem with unstable connection and now, after i updated the firmware, not only that im dropping connection heaps more, my internet connection has slowed down by alot.
Im having a bit of trouble, how am i supposed to update my router, i have DLed the tarballs from GPL and now im not sure how to update it, do i have to makefile? (im using ubuntu by the way which is handy if i have to build it!) and if i do have to makefile how do i do it?
My router refuses to link to the internet. Status indicates Interface: Down. I thought this was probably a firmware upgrade issue but can only find v1.01.03 which is already installed. Linksys website has no firmware listed for download.
I have downloaded and re-installed the v1.01.03 .img file with no effect. Is this the latest firmware for this model?
My Linksys WAG200G worked like a charm in these 4 years, never had connection problems... the firmware was 1.00.09 One week ago i updated the firmware to last version (1.01.09) and now i have slow connection problems, sometimes it doesn't load web pages... I tried to hard reset and I tried to downgrade to different firmwares found on the web (1.01.01 and 1.01.05)What should I do? Is it possible to find the original 1.00.09 img?
I've been using the WAG54G2 for some time now, recently I set up a range extender and had some issues so one thing I tried was to upgrade the firmware. It was very unclear on this website where to find it (specifically for the G2). I went here but there were 2 files, Annex A or B? [irl].... The instructions are also very unclear on this. But more frustratingly the zip file just contains an ".img" file - no ".bin" as the instructions say. So i tried the manual firmware upgrade using this file and shortly after the message "...whatever you do - do not close the browser or restart the router during the upgrade..." (or similar) the router crashed, so I had to restart it and the browser. Now I think I may have introduced an error as the once perfectly-performing router occasionally drops the internet connection for a few minutes. With my work I need 100% uptime.
I have WAG354G wireless router and would like to upgrade the firmware on it, I believe it is version 1.There's two firmware downloads to choose from: Annex A and Annex B.What is the difference between the two?
Upgraded my E3000 from 1.0.02 to 1.0.04 and now I cant get an ip from my arris modem. I did the 30/30/30 reset and everything but no luck. I've had to plug the modem directly into the computer for now. Where can I find the 1.0.02 download or how can I fix this?
I would upgrade the firmware before deciding to replace router with a new one. I noticed there have been several updates to the firmware since I originally installed the router with the current available firmware version of 1.35NA.
I just bought RV042G with serial number NKS16120688 to replace old RV042 which is cannot upgrade to new version firmware(from above V.4).After I connect to my TOT isp modem to new rv042g, the router distributes ip (DHCP), get dns from isp normally but it cannot connect the internet at all.It seems this new firmware is not compatible with tot isp in Thailand while old rv042 with old firmware can run smoothly.I have to try many things such as change wan port, change modem and also buy another new RV016, but results still the same.
Just bought this WAG120N and using the CD Setup it gets as far as Install Gateway then displays its not connected properly. Checked everything it says to check.Im swapping from an ordinary adsl modem but i unplugged all of that and the WAG120N shows steady Power , 1 ethernet number lit and flashing ok, Wireless is lit and DSL is also also lit. Rebooted a few times too.
How do I set up the WAG120N as a router only as I no longer want to use it as modem and router?I want to connect the WAG120N thru a cable to a modem that will make the internet connection and use the WAG120N as a wireless router only.
I've got a new WAG120N which seems to lock up about every 24 hours. All the lights are on except the wireless light goes out. Can't login to it and its quite hot.
problems when I wanted to connect my laptop to my WAG120Nrouter for the first time.First the wireless adapter on my windows xp gives me the error "unable to verify your identity"second when i passed the security verification by bypassing the security options on the connection properties of the adapter, windows tries to acquiring network address and continues it for hours. Seems Windows cannot get any ip address from the router.The router works fine with wired Ethernet devices and my iPhone when i connect it wirelessly.
normally i have no trouble opening serten ports for gaming purposes but now i just cant seem to get them open
if i do hyperlobby: (begin: 20999 ) (end: 21001 ) protocol: ( both) on my current ip address and select the active square
it should open port 21000 right?but if i check in game, it wont open, and if i check on internet for port checks it also says timed out, for some reason it wont open this port, also other game ports wont open anymore,not sure what router i got but i think this is the model : WAG120N
I need to configure a WAG 120 N as a bridge, so I can have my public IP as an output of an Ethernet port. I need this configuration because I have a non ADSL router managing VPNs and needs the public IP on the WAN port of this router.
My WAG120N does not allow airprint from ipad/ipod to HP photosmart wireless printer. When i replace the linksys router with an old netgear one all works well and the ipad can find the printer and print. Enable the Linksys router and the printer is no longer found on the ipad. other forums suggest this relates to handling of the Bonjour protocol ... any resolution for this so i dont have to go back to legacy speed on my home wifi?
I have a WAG120N which runs speedtest.net at 0.1 Mbs. My old router used to get 6 Mbs.I have tried a firmware update & reset, reduced the MTU to 1300 but still no different.Windows Vista & 7 - two different computers, same speed...
when choosing "Mixed" or "N-only" as Network Mode on the Basic Wireless Settings configuration page, the mode resets to "B/G-Mixed" or "G-only" respectively when saving. In other words, it is not possible to use the N network mode.
I am using WAG120N, and it keeps disconnected from internet randomly, normally between 5-10 minutes. The thing is, when it is disconnected, the adsl lamp is still on, so I think that it is not the network problem. When internet lamp turns off , I try to turn off the device (or unplug the phone cable), then turn it on again (or re-plug the cable), and it will work for certain minutes, then gets disconnected again. I already upgraded the firmware to v 1.00.12.
I have WAG120N and is working fine, but has very poor wifi range. I recently purchased EA 6500. how to setup my WAG120N as a modem only and shift all routing to the EA6500
My WAG120N power light is always red whenever plugged in. I can't access the configuration page. My adapter works fine and the Reset button doesn't work. I can't find any troubleshoot for the "red power light" problem in user manual !
1) I dis abled the DHCP services on modem router as i was connecting it to a belkin router and after that i cannot accesss the setup of the WAG 120N.
2)If I acces the WAG120N by Lan the internet works fine but if i acces through wirless it does not.
3)Also when ever i connect the LAN cable from BELKIN router to WAG 120N the wirless services stop as well on the BElkin router and i cant figure it out why.
