Can't find Range Extender after installing firmware upgrade to fix the 802.11n bug

I got my RE1000 shortly after Christmas but had trouble after a while where devices would claim they were connected to my wifi network but not really have a connection.
I discovered by doing a network scan that my router was broacasting/accepting B/G/N... all of my devices support N, so they were connecting on N... but the RE1000 wasn't broadcasting/accepting N... only G.
Since the RE was on G, this caused major issues trying to connect.
So in late Jan / early Feb I updated the firmware on the device as per instructions from the Cisco rep... but didn't have a chance to plug it back in and test until now.
Now when I plug it in, it lights up all solid green... but in the setup (Windows 7 / PC) the setup can't find the device.  My laptop and the RE are within 25 feet of the router... and the laptop and RE are about 6-10 feet apart (I tested different distances to ensure it wasn't too close)
So now I'm stuck... I can't even verify if the RE1000 is properly updated.
What can I do or do I need to return this unit?

scunliffe,
What is the model number of your router? Is it a Linksys device too? You can configure the RE1000 manually, you will have to connect your laptop straight to the RE1000 via ethernet cable and access its setup page by typing 192.168.1.1 on your browser.
Check this link: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=76055e8973f5487f82d2d3f610da4c02_Accessing_the_web...

Scenario 1 is applicable for you: Using a wired computer.
You may need to disable the WiFi capability on your laptop while doing this to make sure that it is not connected wirelessly to any network. You may need to have both the RE1000 and the laptop at least 6-10 feet away from your router.
I would say you are fmiliar with the wireless settings on your router, right? You will need those information to configure the RE1000 (SSID, Channel Width, Security Mode, and Passphrase).

  • Can't find out how to install firmware upgrade to Airport.

    I have 6.3.1 and need to get 7.3.1 or later. The apple support site puts me in an endless loop without any real help. My airport is working but has blinking orange light. The cable company says we need to get the latest version of Airport firmware in order to have full security and change the light to steady green.

    Thanks to both of you. Here is my current status:
    Tesserax, I had gone through those steps but I was not getting an Update button. Still am not seeing one.
    Joseph Kriz, I went through the steps you gave me, and did not get an update button. When I went to About Airport Utility it says I have version 6.3.1, not 6.3.2, but I am not seeing a way to update.
    When I click on the airport icon in the Airport utility I get a dialog box that says, "This version of Airport Utility requires this Airport Extreme use firmware 7.3.1 or later. Use Airport Utility 5.6 to update this base station. Airport Utility 5.6 is available at Airport Service and Support."
    But when I go to Airport Service and Support I am not able to update anything. I go to the same place that Tesseract shows in his last post and there is no Update button.
    So, I am stuck...     Ideas??   I appreciate your help.

  • Time Machine can't find external drive after installing Lion

    Time Machine can't find external drive after installing Lion. I have a Laice 1 terabyte external drive that worked fine with Snow Leopard and now no show ... tried connecting it to front port and Mac Pro can't see it. Also lost Office,Quicken, and Final Cut Pro  says: " You can't open application because Power PC apps are no longer supported" this is Not a good surprise!

    Does the drive work when just directly connected? If so, have you prepped the drive?
    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

  • Can't find Application Builder after installing AB 7.0 in a LabView 7.1 system

    Hello, I just installed applivcation Builder 7.0 on my windows desktop (XP, SP2) that has already installed a Labview 7.1. But nothing happens...I just can't find it. Not on "Werkzeuge" (Tools) or anywhere else in the application.
    Only in the explorerI can find Labview7.0\Applibs...
    I reinstalled it 3 times now...what else can I do ?
    or does the Application Builder 7.0 not work with LV 7.1 ?
    any help would be appreciated
    regards
    fluxgate

    No, it does not work. You need the 7.1 app builder. If you had purchased the 7.0 app builder separately (and not as part of the profession version), when you did the upgrade to 7.1, you should have requested the 7.1 app builder. Since 7.1 is no longer sold by NI, I'm not sure how you can get the correct app builder. You should contact NI directly or your local field engineer.

  • Can Not Find Native Instruments after Install

  • How do I manage my installed apps in Firefox 4? I can't find them anywhere after installing.

    I installed the Kids Mode app on my computer to check it out and did not like it. Now I want to remove it, but can't find my installed apps anywhere. In Firefox 3 there was a "my apps" menu option, but I can't find anything like this in Firefox 4. Can anyone help me get this off my computer so my daughter can play on her favorite websites again?
    Thanks,
    MS

    Anything you install yourself can be found by clicking the orange Firefox button, go to Add-ons and then click Extensions. Click the "Remove" button to get rid of it.

    You say they do not work on your phone, by chance did you do the upgrade to froyo (2.2) Some apps will not work on os earlier than 2.2 which is one of the reasons so many users complained about not having the upgrade sooner than released in April

  • AE CC 2014 can't find Quicktime Components after latest FCX upgrade

    Hi there,
    I am in a pretty big trouble. After installing AE CC 2014 (plus premiere, media encoder and so on) everything was just fine and worked flawlessly. Then I upgraded FCX and its new ProRes codecs and now none of the above mentioned softwares seem to work, reporting that there are no quicktime components installed in my system.
    Actually the quicktime components are there since I can play save and export quicktime mov.s with FCX, quicktime, MpegStreamclip and so on as I used to do before the upgrade. Only Adobe CCs 2014 don't work.
    I then donwloaded the components straight from Apple support site, reinstalled them but it didn't work; I disinstalled and reinstalled Adobe CC softwares and nope... neither this way it worked.
    Can you guys help me?
    It would be very much appreciated.
    Cheers

    The recent update to FCP X does, in fact, add a new Pro Res format, called Pro Res 4444 XQ.  It is (apparently) the highest clarity Prores codec released to date, aimed squarely at high end broadcast and cinema professionals.  Arri has announced that their new Alexa cameras will all support the new format.
    The press release says:
    ProRes 4444 XQ has a higher target data rate of 500Mbps that makes it the ideal choice for post production that requires visual effects processing or extreme colour grading.
    “ProRes 4444 XQ is a fantastic choice for high-end mastering and archiving,” added Henning Rädlein, Arri’s head of Digital Workflow Solutions. “ProRes 4444 XQ offers 12-bit RGB encoding with a low compression ratio of 1:4.5 that maintains the superior tonal range of Log C, while providing the speed, ease of use and familiarity of ProRes.
    You can just install the codecs from this update:
    ProApps Codecs v1.0.5
    But they are automatically installed with the latest updates to FCPX, Compressor and Motion.  As far as I can see, the new codec is only available in Compressor X - I can't seem to access it through any other software, including After Effects, Media Encoder or legacy Apple software.
    That said, I have the updates installed on the machine I'm using and don't seem to have any other Quicktime issues, other than no access to the new ProRes format.  Sorry I can't offer more help.

  • Can't find CS2 serial to install CS3 upgrade version (*@*! Yosemite)

    Hi all,
    Am having to re-install my CS3 (old I know, but still does the job) after having to wipe my hard drive after making the mistake of upgrading my OS to Yosemite... trouble is, as it was the upgrade version (had to install CS2 first) I now need to enter my CS2 serial - which I don't have.
    Still waiting for answer on the "Chat" service (customer support no longer 'does' customer support for this) and nothing in my products page in my Adobe ID so a little stuck at the mo !
    Any solution MUCH appreciated

    Hi Ned,
    Thanks for the (extremely prompt!) answer - I've marked as "correct" as I reckon it would work (the installation dialogue box only required a valid CS2 serial and the one on the download link - 1130-0412-8377-1896-9751-5759 - should work, according to what the page states).
    Fortunately I managed to find (an old sketchbook that I was using at the time that had a note of both my CS2 and CS3 serials so managed to finish my install from that... one advantage of hoarding old notebooks !
    Thanks again, and much kudos to you !
    NB. If anyone else has the same issue (re-installing the upgrade version of CS3) then there is no need to install CS2 first before installing CS3 - the system should know you had a valid CS2 and only requires the valid serial.

  • IPhoto 5 can't find my pictures after installing a new hard drive.

    I had a corrupted hard drive which I was able to get going again with Disk Warrior. I backed up my i Photo Library on external storage and then installed the new drive and reinstalled OS 10.4.10 on my old G4. I then installed iLife 05 and tried to open iPhoto. I got an error message stating: "You can't open your current iPhoto library using this version of iPhoto".
    After I read the iLife 05 missing manual I found out that you shouldn't save iPhoto files this way. I can't imagine having to burn DVD's in order to save picture files. What ever happened to "it is intuitively obvious on the Mac".
    Is there any way for me to recover these picture files? I downloaded an iPhoto library manager but that was no help. Is this file recovery problem easier with iLife 08? I am getting a new iMac later this week with iLife 08 available with it..............donn

    Problem solved
    I moved all of the iPhoto files into trash and then restarted the machine and reinstalled iPhoto 5. I used my oldest iphoto library file and everything worked. I was a little surprised that the install program was not more selective in picking up a library file.
    Everything is working fine now. Thanks for your help....donn

  • Can't find backup data after installing iTunes 10.5.2

    I replaced my iPhone4 after encountering some problems and sync my iPhone (did not logged in my Apple ID) before having my iPhone replaced.
    After plugging in the replacement iPhone, iTunes prompts that my current version of iTunes can't work with the software version (5.0...) of my replacement iPhone and asked that iTunes 10.5 be downloaded.
    After running iTunes 10.5, my replacement iPhone starts syncing with iTunes 10.5 and backup the replacement iPhone. But last sync data from my earlier iPhone is gone!
    Called local support and asked to 'authorise this computer' but still could not locate the backup file. The last backup file was the one from my replacement iPhone.
    All my contacts and especially family pictures were gone.
    Anyone can help?

    Some iTunes Store issues are related to LSPs, like described in this Apple article -> iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store

    Hi,
    1. Check out the settings in Windows --> Preferences --> SAP Enterprise Portal --> add the server.
    2. Also check the SAP J2EE Engine config. Check the entry for Message Server Port. typically it is 3601or 3903
    3. Goto Windows --> Open Perspective -- >J2EE Developement --> it will open a window in NWDS. Click on J2EE Engine tab, see if the servers are really running. All servers status should be in green color.

  • Can't burn blank CD after installing CD that came with ipod nano

    Can't burn blank CD after installing ipod software - I have the system prefs set to launch Toast 6 when inserting a blank disk, and the drive just churns and then ejects the CD. It mounts and runs burned music and data disks with no problem.
    My job requires me to burn data disks from pictures I take at work. Should I re-install Toast? The OS? I ran Disk Utility to check/fix permissions, and no change.

    The CD that came with the nano won't have anything on it that you won't get with a full iTunes install. In fact, it may have been an OLDER version of the iTunes software than what you had installed before.
    I'd reccomend downloading the latest version of iTunes from Apple and installing that to rule out software reversion issues.
    If the problem still exists, try booting into toast before inserting the blank disk and see if Toast can still burn to the CD. If it can, then odds are you have to re-instruct your computer to boot toast when a blank CD is inserted. If it can't see the blank CD, or the Finder spits it out again, then I think you'd have to re-install Toast.
