Linksys Wireless Router :: RT54G V8 Right Way To Upgrade
Dec 12, 2012
I have a router RT54G V8. This router has "firmware v.8.0." on interface and I decided upgrade to last version.
Page indicates "version 8.2" and it was downloaded.I did the right way to upgrading (by oficial document to realize from pages where firmware is in).
After screen that shows Upgrafe Successfull press button to Continue, router didn't continue to follow page and i can't conect anymore. Neither mode (browser or console ping)I've applied all reset ways founds but I can do a simple ping to connectivity.
I just upgraded my router from 1.0.03 to 1.0.04, I have a few questions:After installing the firmware, I pressed the reset button at the back for almost 1mn, the power lighted as expected, I then unplug the power cord for 30 sec.The strange thing is that this did not lead to a reset of the configuration, all my settings are still here...!But the actual problem is that my internet speed is divided by two, I still have to confirm this observation on the long term.
is it worth it? I still cant stream some of my higher quality 6+gb .mpg video files with the v1 with the .03 firmware. I notice the v2 says faster or better HD video. [URL]
I have a WRT54G wireless router v7.2.00 (defoult firmware)in here last firmware is 8.2 [URL]i download this file, but can't install... then i find this...[URL] in here last version is v7.2 now can you tall me, can i upgrade v7.2.01 to v8 or v8.2?
Want to switch to dualband E3000 from older, working fine except needs resetting often. What steps do I need to take? I do not have E3000 setup disk. I fear that I will go down a path that makes both of the routers unusable, at least down many hours.
I would like to upgrade the firmware for my WRT54GS V2.1 router however, I only see versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, etc.. There is no 2.1 listed, so does this mean I can use the v2.0 firmware?
Today I upgraded my 10/100mbps LAN to 100/1000mbps LAN with Wireless using the Linksys WTR320N. The initial testing went without problems. The small LAN I setup with 2 laptops, router and modem worked fine and I plugged in the other systems.
During the testing the speed of the internet was like before, instant loading of most of the pages (i.e. Facebook, Youtube) and reached the max speed capable, which is 23MBps together with a low ping of arround 30.
Now, with the full network the internetspeed doesn't top 20MBps anymore, it sticks back to 15-17, which is a loss of 6MBps on my connection. After checking out various topics on this and other forums I upgraded the firmware from 1.0.0.3 to 1.0.0.4. Which gave a small improvement but I still don't reach my max speed, nor a decent ping and pageload times.
I got a Cable-internet provider which doesn't require password/username to logon to, so it's a permanent connection. MTU is at 1500, and because I don't know what it is (I saw the phrase and changing it to 1300/1350 a few times while searching for a solution).
How I can speed up the loadtimes and internetspeed? The problems are both on wired as wireless connection. Signal strength of the wireless is maximum and the wired connections never gave problems before.
I just purchased a new E1200 router with firmware version 2.0.01 and downloaded the latest version 2.0.03 and tried to install it through the router. When I choose the downloaded file and try to start upgrade I immediately get an error "The Image File is Incorrect". I redownloaded it and tried again with the same error. how to get past this and upgrade the firmware?
I upgraded my E2500 with the last version of firmware but now is dead. the power led is turn on, but the ping are discontinued. the other problem is that after 10/15 sec, the router will restart automatically. i try with tftp but after the reset of router does not change anything.
The file uploads fine, but I get an error message saying the router can't be updated atthe moment. I want to do the update because as of now, the router can't see my drive connected on usb (one ntfs partition and another one called wbfs, maybe that one is causing the issue about the drive).
I downloaded the firmware from the Linksys site. I'm using IE v9 on a Win7 Pro x32. I'm using the E4200 as an access point so DHCP is disabled, no cable in the WAN port.
I uploaded the firmware but it seems to be stuck for 30 minutes at 98%. I read some threads saying it takes a while, but I'm not sure if it is locked up. The screen says not to interrupt the process so I don't want to reboot/reset and brick the router.
I tried to upgrade my router firmware to the latest 2.1.39.145204 (downloaded from cisco website) but seems like the upgrade didn't go well. I am unable to open the admin webpage. I can get to the login page on 192.168.1.1, after i enter the admin password the next page doesn't load. It keeps showing 'Waiting' at the center of the page forever.. I have tried to do the 30/30/30 reset to no avail, i tried to do tftp downgrade to older firmware version but the tftp boot doesn't even start. Is there any other way i can either fix the current firmware upgrade or downgrade it to the previous version?
I currently have Model name: Linksys E4200 Firmware version: 1.0.04 build 11 Software version: 1.4.12100.0
I'm trying to upgrade to the second and most up to date version. (Version: 2.0) firmware. Any links or way to do this? I tried doing it through my router settings under administration -> firmware upgrade but it won't update automatically. I have to find the actual update file and update the firmware through that.
I have a WRT110 wireless router which disconnects suddenly and continuously. In addition, its performance is really poor. The current firmware installed is 1.0.03. I found a new firmware for this model (1.0.04.10) but when I try to install it, I choose the .bin file downloaded from Linksys TechSupp website, click on the "Start Upgrade" button, but I always get the following message "Please designate the path to the firmware".
I had issues with my router incorrectly resolving URLs. For example, going to facebook.com would gtive me a "wiki does not exist" message. Pinging facebook.com would give me an IP that belongs to wikipedia. The answer was SUPPOSED to be upgrading to v3.0.03.I upgraded and now my router WILL NOT connect to my DSL modem. Oh, it says it's connected and shows the correct IP address for my DSL modem but the gateway is showing 0.0.0.0. Direct connection to my PC works just fine.I have cycled the power on both the router and the DSL modem several times. The DSL modem is working just fine. I have done several IP release/renew on the router. I have reset the router. To no avail. This firmware update (which completed successfully) seems to have killed my routers ability to communitcate with the internet.
I've had my WRT54G for a year few now andhave the occasional problem, were I end up powering off the Modem and the WiFibox to get a connection.So having a week of I thought I should tryand update the firmware and see if this solves the problem.I have a WRT54G Ver 2.0 and am running Win7on my main machine with IE9.I Downloaded the firmware update(FW_WRT54G_4.21.4.000_20110712), and while the update was loading I got a errormessage about Update not taken, this was while the Progress bar was about 3/4through, I click OK and waited a while to see if the progress bar moved anymore, butafter 10 min nothing appear to have happen. So I powered the box offand on again.I appear to be able to see my other PC andmy NAS drive but the WiFi and the broadband connect was gone.I reconnected my PC to the Broadband andlooked for a connection, but none that I’ve found seam to work. I found a referenceto a TFTP utility, but all the links on your site appear to be dead, so I haven’tdownload it from anywhere else in case its different to your.
PS Linksis Online Support said they do not have old firmware andgives me some phones to call .. Others have written about the same problem, saying that prior toupgrade with new firmware to be flash with 2.0.14.I need firmware - version: 2.0.14, where to find it?
Yes I had just upgraded my BEFW11S4 and now I can't log back on using 192.168.1.1, I went to the version 1.0 firmware but now I'm thinking that's not what I should've done.
My Linksys WRT54G router has been dropping out lately and I've been recommended to update its firmware as it is very out-of-date. Well, everytime I try to upgrade the firmware to it, I get an error message that says "the connection to the server was reset while the page was loading." I'm trying to upgrade the firmware through the router's site 192.168.1.1 under the adminstration tab
I have a wrt54g (8.1) that was acting a little funny so did some googling and followed the instructions to install new firmware. First the installation failed, double checked to make sure I downloaded the correct file (FW_WRT54G_8.1.09.02_US_20071227.bin), did a reset and power cycle. Checked the information again and everything on the router setup completely disappeared.
There is no “firmware” number after the model and I believe this router has never had a firmware upgrade. However, if I try to download any of the 3 upgrades from the Linksys support site I get the message “firmware not available, sorry for the inconvenience.” Since the suggested solutions to so many problems posted in the forum is to first upgrade the firmware, I find this response with no explanation quite annoying. I am having problems replacing my current hardwired Linksys two port router with the WRK54G wireless 4-port router. Questions regarding that problem I will post under a different topic. For now, how I can get the firmware upgrade for the WRK54G?
I have tried to upgrade the firmware to the latest greatest but keep getting the "Incorrect image file" error. I bought two of the V1 units and had no trouble with one of them but the other is frustrating me. I have reset it and even tried a tftp upgrade of the firmware but still get "Incorrect image file" even in tftp.
Having problems losing connectivity so decided to upgrade firmware from v1.00.7 to latest version available.
Downloaded the upgrade file and log into web based administrator. Select file and click on UPGRADE button. A couple of clicks on timeline then: UGRADE FAILED
I have an E3000 with firmware v. 1.0.01 build 6. I am trying to upgrade to the latest firmware version. I downloaded the file, and when I went to install from the web page I got the error message: Not enough memory available. I tried from 2 computers and got the same message.
Firmware downloaded, FW_WRT120N_1.0.06.001_US after pressing APPLY nothing happens after few minutes it says. "There is an error in the Content-type field. Click the Back button to return to the previous page and re-enter the information."
I was prompted by Cisco Connect to upgrade the router software. During this process it came back and said the update failed. At this time the network connection dropped. The power light is now flashing on the device.
I am trying to upgrade the firmware on my Linksys v1 router from 1.0.02 to 1.0.03 over a remote 56Kb circuit. I appear to be having a timeout problem. The upgrade always fails. I have upgraded several E1200s in my office over ethernet, and the upgrade appears to finish when the progress bar is at 15%. However, on my remote upgrade, the progress bar gets to 98%, hangs for a few more seconds, and then pops up a window with "Upgrade failed".
I suspect that there is a timeout on the upgrade process, and that I can't upload the 3.8 MB firmware file fast enough. If so, is there any way to increase the upgrade timeout?
