Can't upgrade router firmware

I want to upgrade the firmware in my BEFW11s4 v4. Have already downloaded the file but when I click upgrade the page goes blank and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

i think firmware has been upgraded on the router... logon to router's setup page and click on the status and check whether the latest firnmware is installed or not, if you you found old firmware on the router try upgrading firmware using tftp utility...go to ftp.linksys.com/pub/network and download tftp.exe file and try upgrading firmware check whether it makes any difference or not.

Problem Upgrading Router Firmware on MI424WR-GEN3I

Having trouble updating my router firmware. Current version says: 40.21.18. Status says: OK. However, it says this below:
" Internet Version: Old Wireless Broadband Router version 40.21.10.3 found?
Does this mean anything? I'm wondering if the firmware is still not upgraded. Any thoughts on this? Did my firmware upgrade?

Your configuration indicates you do indeed have the latest firmware version installed. The Internet version is what is available to restore to a previous version, should you ever have the need to do so.
You can see how this would work (without actually activating it) by clicking on Advanced > Firmware Restore. It will show you what your current version is and the previous version that's avialable to restore to.
Once you've taken a look, click on Cancel to avoid actually reverting to the older version.

Problem mounting network drive after upgrading router firmware

Hi guys,
It's been a while since I last posted a question of my own here, but I'm at my wits end. As I may have mentioned, I live in France, and my ISP is Free (no, not free, Free...). I've got what they call a "box" here, i.e. a sort of super-modem that will let you connect to the Internet via xDSL (and soon VDSL2), receive hundreds of TV channels, read BluRay discs, store files (videos, music, photos, what have you) on a integrated NAS, place and receive phone calls, whether via a landline (DECT) or, since recently, through a femtocell.
All in all, the package is impressive and works flawlessly. But...
(Of course, there had to be a "but)
... Yesterday, I let my "box" (it's called a Freebox Revolution, or Freebox V6--for Version 6--by the way) upgrade its firmware, reboot as it always does in such circumstances, and since that, the NAS won't mount in the Finder the way it used to under the Shared left pane.
Now, every time I reboot my Mac, I have to open a browser windows and type "smb://mafreebox.freebox.fr" in order mount the NAS in the Finder. I've saved the credentials (login, no password) in the keychain, hoping it would help, but it doesn't. I've got a PC running Windows 8.1 Preview at the moment, and created a shortcut to the NAS on the Desktop. Guess what? I double-click on the shortcut, and sure enough, I can access the content of the NAS from Windows, but not from the Mac.
I must add that I haven't changed anything on the Mac since, or before, upgrading the "box" firmware.
Any ideas?

OK, you must think I'm going bananas, but my issue is gone... For now...
Seriously, what do you guys think about this problem with network drives mounting or not, depending on, I don't know, the weather, maybe?

Can't upgrade Router

Hello - I'm trying to upgrade my rourter in the hope that it might lead me to get a better internet/wifi conenction away from my home. Talk Talk will allow me to upload the software but when I try to open it to install on my IMAC the copmuter will not allow me to open the file as it says it will only open files from the Apps Store or from other developers. Please can someone assist me to open the file so I can upgrade my router. PS I am not computer savvy so will need some hand holding. Thanx

See the heading "How to open an app from a unidentified developer" on this support page. The instructions apply to installer packages as well as applications.

6300b from the US-Can't Upgrade the Firmware

Hi guys,
I own a Nokia 6300b here in the US and today I wanted to see if there is any new FW upgrades for my phone. I found out that there is not according to NSU and also the Nokia website but then in the link below I found out that there is an upgrade but NSU will not let me upgrade.
http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/Nokia_Firmware_Versions
Also, this phone is from the US and the hardware should be RM-222 which is mentioned in the back of the phone but when I check my FW info under settings, it shows my phone as RM-217 which is the European version.
Does anyone know why this is happening. I'd rather be on the European one actually for the FW updates as there is not that many for the US ones.
I'd appreciate if someone can give me some info on this matter.
Thanks in advance,
Dogan

When you first start your set up, the phone will not be able to secure a Data link as it does not know where to look (phones locked to carriers are preset to look for the 3G network for that carrier). Choose manual setup for APN and find out the APN settings for your carrier (for Bell in Canada it is "proxy.bell.ca" with the other two fields left blank.) To find out your carriers settings, run a quick google search.
Everything should work after that.

I have AT&T & Curve 8300 running BIS - Can I upgrade-

to version 2.5 of the device firmware along with the companion v4.5 or 4.6 desktop software?
Here's a little background:
I bought my Curve last fall at an AT&T store. I had been a quite satisfied Palm customer since 1994 and so had accumulated over 1500 very detailed contact records, as well lots and lots of appointments. But I had to return my latest Palm device, a Treo 680 within the 30 day warranty period due to a severe problem with battery life. To my frank amazement, it stay charged up enough for use for more 3-4 hours at a time. (I'm a heavy data user but not that heavy!) So I decided to make the big switch, thinking that Palm technology was becoming obsolete anyway and the company's future was in doubt.
It turns out this was a really good move, except for one thing: with the Treo I had become acustomed to not needing to lug my laptop around on planes, etc. because I could do most anything I needed on the Palm, including most MS Office work via the Dataviz software product Documents To Go.   While this software was not yet available for BB at the time, I was told that this was coming in a few months. So I decided to get by without MS Office temporarily - really meaning only the loss of MS Word and Excel because I knew that the Curve integrated well with MS Outlook.
But what I didn't expect was to still be waiting 15 months later!
As I say, I've been very happy with my Curve and Dataviz did in fact come out with the BB platform support a few months ago. However, the issue remaining is that this software requires me to upgrade to at least v4.5 BB Desktop (I'm running 4.3 now) and to upgrade to Curve firmware version 2.5 (I'm running firmware v2.4.2 now).
I was in contact with AT&T "support" again today and I'm still being stonewalled. The trouble is AT&T only supports the software versions I'm running now and apparently have no plans to support anything newer.
Obviously there are no worries about running desktop v4.5, but I have two specific questions about the v2.5 firmware:
1. Can I upgrade the firmware to 2.5 and still safely receive AT&T voice and BIS data services? I guess what I'm really asking is whether there are compatiability issues I shold be aware of???
2. If I find later that have any issues, or AT&T arrests me (kidding, sort of) can I safely downgrade back to firmware v2.2.4?
I don't care a wit about whether AT&T offically supports these O/S versions. There little of that expected or needed anyway. What I'm asking is "will it work technically or is AT&T doing something funky on their network with file transfer protocols, etc.?"
Any feedback here will be much appreciated!

Sky Router firmware upgraded - can no longer login with credentials

I usually have no problems accessing my sky router (white Sky Hub with ADSL) via the page 192.168.0.1 however I tried to login the other day and was greeted with an updated looking summary screen - all very nice I thought, let's go and explore! However when I put in the usual details - username: admin, password: sky I get prompted to input my details again which is very odd. Now I know that I am the only one who accesses the router in this way as my flatmate has never logged in and probably never will so I can only assume the firmware upgrade has caused the password/username to change. I logged in the other week and the password is saved in my browser so I am sure I am not making any mistake here. I have tried in chrome and IE just in case but I have the same issue in both. Has the new firmware brought a new default password? I cannot find any reference to this anywhere on this site so it seems unlikely. I would rather not reset my router to default settings as I have devices with static IP addresses and port forwarding setup that will take me some time to reconfigure. I don't think there is any feature to backup the config unless you are actually logged in to the router but would love to be worng about this. I am guessing I will have to bite the bullet and reset to factory defaults but would welcome any help or suggestions if possible?

After review the events of the morning.....
I normally keep my routers in the basement where my eth jacks all hub. High on a shelf, I got reasonable coverage on 2.4Ghz even on the second floor. I went to this router for the Dual mode, but found the 5Ghz didn't make it sufficiently well to the second floor. So it was moved to the first floor, on a counter. That morning the router started acting up a bit, not bringing an iphone online. It was looked at - and a couple of post cards that had been placed on top, removed. Air flow was not blocked around the sides in any way - just a few pieces of card stock on top to interfere with convection off the top.
1. There is no way to look at temperature - maybe the device doesn't even know its own temp.
2. There is no fan that I can discern. Clearly, creating a device that is designed to sit on a flat surface in a home environment ought to take into consideration "normal impediments to air flow". Temp controlled fans is simple, well proven tech.
3. This design is small, has TWO radios, sits horizonal (thus is going to have lousy convection) - seems to me an engineer ought to have given more thought to not only providing the user with easy to obtain data (temp), alternative methods (fan/vertical mounting) and/or self-protection (to hot, I'm shutting down rather than corrupt my database).

FAQ Broken: How do I upgrade the firmware on a WRT54G Wireless-G Broadband Router?

I tried to view the above question in the FAQ, but it goes to the answer for a different question.
I then tried "How do I upgrade the firmware on my router?" a little further down,
but it acts like I'm not authenticated, and won't accept my Linksys Forums e-mail address
and password. When I try the password recovery, it says my e-mail address is invalid.
Can someone please point me to instructions for upgrading the firmware on my WRT54G?
Specifically, someone told me that the router needs to be listening on the default 192.168.1.1
IP address, but mine is listening on 10.1.1.2. Do I need to change this just to flash new
firmware, because that will be a little painful.
Thanks,

Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - "Default Gateway of Your Router"...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
**To Check the Default Gateway of the router...Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...
**To all the above setting using the wired computer.

Too many errors after upgrading the firmware to 1.0.3.10 on Cisco RV180W wireless router

My company purchased one Cisco RV180W wireless router few days ago and it worked normal with default firmware version of 1.0.0.30. Today I upgraded the firmware to version 1.0.3.10, the users can still access this router via wired and wireless devices, but on the dashboard I observed two major problems, one is the CPU utilization always shows 100%, another is the more and more errors appearing, on the Syslog Summary panel "Error" log has been up to 625 and is still increasing, there is one message repeatedly displaying in the log, see in below:
Wed Nov 13 13:55:25 2013(GMT+0800) [rv180w][System][PLATFORM] /pfrm2.0/bin/bwLimitConfig /tmp/system.db 18 dot11STA 100 failed. status=-1
Who can tell me what does this error message mean and how to elinate this error message ? also how to deal with 100% CPU utilization ?
Thanks.

Hello,
i have been looking at different VPN routers over the last few weeks and i was very close to buying the RV180W, but then i stumbled across many posts reffering to firmware issues, one issue is that the cpu sits at 100% useage, i just wondered if this is a bug in GUI or is the CPU actually max'd out? has anyone had any resolution into this?
also the firmware on the emulator is a newer version than is listed on the support page, does anyone know when 1.0.3.14 will be released for download?
when i buy a new product i like to ensure that the system is fully upto date before its put into use but i obviously dont want to add any performance issues from the ofset due to the CPU useage.
i also have a could of questions if anyone can help
the Ipsec VPN, will this work with the Built-in VPN client for apple devices? (New IOS7), i am unable to find a quickvpn application for apple IOS.
is the site-to-site IPSec VPN also compatible with the Cisco Wvrs4400n router?
thanks in advance.

I'm trying to update iPhoto 7.1.5 to current versions so I can get my photos onto iCloud to access from my iPad. I can't seem to find an upgrade route that will work? Any suggestions?

I'm trying to update iPhoto 7.1.5 on my old iMac (running 10.9.5) to current versions so I can get my photos onto iCloud to access from my iPad. I can't seem to find an upgrade route that will work? Any suggestions?

For Mavericks you need to upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1.
You cannot buy this version from the AppStore, since the current version is iPhoto 9.6, and that requires Yosemite. The easiest route for you would be to upgrade to Yosemite. Then you can simply buy the newest version of iPhoto from the App Store and can use iCloud Photo Library (iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ), once it has been release for the Mac as well early next year.
If you want to stick with Mavericks, you'll have limited iCloud features, only the Photo Streams (iCloud: iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ), but no iCloud Drive (iCloud Drive FAQ) and iCloud Photo Library. And to upgrade iPhoto you need to buy an iPhoto '11 installer. It comes as part of iLife '11. You can try to buy a boxed version from Amazon or try to find it at eBay. Once installed on Mavericks, download the iPhoto '11 updaters from the apple Support Downloads page.

Can I upgrade an E1200 router to support Mavericks?

I have a Mac and upgraded to Mavericks. Now when I go to Cisco Connect, I get a message that says "Unsupported Operating System The router software supports these operating systems: Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later, 10.6.1 or later, 10.7 or later" What seems odd is that my computer is still connected wirelessly but our Samsung Smart TV is not. Can my E1200 router be upgraded to 10.9? I also had a problem with my Canon scanner not scanning and by uninstalling and reinstalling the problem was fixed. Any chance uninstalling and reinstalling would work here?

You cannot upgrade but if you need to get into your Lynskys router account to change your settings, passwords and all other options. Use the 'Opera' Browser (If you don't have it, download it for free) The default IP address is 192.168.1.1. Paste it in your browser and enter. It will ask you for your username and password. You will be in, and able to do anything you were able to do with the old software.
Note. If you have OS X 10.9.1 Mavericks It will NOT work on Safari, Firefox, or Chrome.

E65 can't upgrade firmware!

Hello again,
I see that there is a new version of the NSU. I made the update to NSU. I connect the E65 but still can't upgrade firmware.....
Any news about that?
The phone's code is 0542346....

From [email protected] I've got an answer:
"With regard to your enquiry, I suggest that you update your phone software, which could improve the overall performance of your phone and fix operation issues that you are experiencing with your phone. Nokia Software Updater now supports the Nokia E65. Kindly log on to the following link for Nokia Software Updater:

Following instruction am trying to update my software:
NSU is "Preparing update. Identyfing connected phone",
but then I get message: "Connection error. Sorry, the Nokia Software Updater service is currently unavailable. Please disconnect your device and try again later".
Without last updates WPA doesn't work... I'm fed up with e65.

Can the HAP-Z1ES high resplayer be upgraded via firmware to play DSD or DFF 256?

The Sony HAP-Z1ES is excellent, and has upgradable firmware. I have already seen improvements and enhancements through Sony's upgrades to firmware, which only shows Sony's committment to the product.
I would be interested in seeing an upgrade to firmware which might expand its capabilities to play 4xDSD, so that the unit could also play 256 DSD and DFF. Is that something which could be done via firmware upgrades. That would simply expand the number titles that the unit could play, increasing the number of titles that could be downloaded from the Internet. If possible, I would hope that engineers at Sony would consider such an upgrade.
The Sony HAP-Z1ES is an excellent product, as good as any professional gear that I have owned. Sony is to be commended for building a unit of such outstanding high-fidelity.
Best,
R Levy

I'm so stupid... I should've thought about iptables... I'm reconfiguring them now, thank you very much!

WRT54G3G-ST router - no internet connection - can't reset router

Hello. Definite longer story definitely not short (I apologize for the rambling length... I don't know what is and isn't important, so scan at will, please... I am sorry...): Recently my computer (Dell XPS 400, Windows XP Service Pack 3, Internet Explorer 7 with phishing filter and pop-up blocker on, SiteAdvisor, up-to-date McAfee Virus Scanner and Firewall, and a Linksys Wireless-G WRT54G3G-ST router with its power adapter plugged into the wall electrical outlet and a network cable from it directly connected to my computer.) got a drive-by Generic.dx trojan without me downloading anything from one of the few sites I visit daily. My internet connection crawled, and I now have no connection at all.
I've been getting help from McAfee forums very helpful and quick good volunteers... They recommended Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to me, which I downloaded from my second clean computer (a laptop) to my flash drive, then to my infected computer. I ran it, tried updating it as recommended, and only then discovered the trojan killed my broadband entirely. I scanned with it anyway, and it quickly found and removed/quarantined 11 Adware.MyWebSearch related files, but nothing else. They then gave me a link to an offline updater patch file, and told me scan in safe mode until nothing else was found and check if it fixed my lack of broadband access. Which I did, Malwarebytes found nothing else, but unfortunately I still had no broadband.
Next, they recommended WinsockXPFix. Which I ran and it made all its registry changes OK, I rebooted as required but still no broadband unfortunately. Did using WinsockXPFix make things worse for me with the registry changes it made? I used its registry backup to save the pre-changed registry files prior to running. Should I revert back since I still have no broadband connection? The McAfee volunteers then kindly told me I needed to hard reset the router, though I've tried countless times with no fortune. I'm at a definite loss as to what, if anything, I can do to hopefully get my broadband back, please...
It's very confusing with the numerous different variations to reset routers, and what I need to do for my router model (Variations: Unplug this cable/adapter exactly where, or not; hold the reset button between 5-30 seconds; rebooting the computer, or not; waiting 1 or 2 minutes between various steps, or not - and for all of these at what exact point in the reset process.).
I reset it once before with the reset button, routers page at http://192.168.1.1, default admin password, then changed it for security, etc; but this time I can't get it to work. I'm happy as can be to try again, to get a walk-through maybe, anything please... When I go to http://192.168.1.1 now, or any other address, Internet Explorer gripes at me that I'm offline, which is annoyingly correct. I don't have, and never had Zone Alarm, but disabling my McAfee Firewall doesn't help. IPCONFIG at the Command Prompt gives me a Windows assigned address of 169.254.X.X
I was going to use the routers Setup Wizard CD to try to reset the router, and if that failed to try to get its firmware version number to maybe upgrade. But I was going to ask here first for expert advice since I've read many things that can go wrong while upgrading firmware. However, scanning the CD (Without running the CD.) McAfee found the virus W32/HLLP.Philis.ini in the file "D:\_desktop.ini" on the CD. McAfee didn't delete the file, I don't know why.
   I scanned my entire computer several times and no infections were reported. I uploaded the file several times to both www.virustotal.com (39 online virus scanners), and virusscan.jotti.org (20 online virus scanners) and every time every virus scanner reported no possible infections. Is my up-to-date McAfee virus scanner reporting a false positive and yet Jotti and Virustotal's 2 McAfee scanners report the file as probable clean? Is "_desktop.ini" a legitimate Linksys file? I found no information on Linksys/its forums about it. My problems just keep multiplying...mentioning of more problems...
Finding that suspect file on the CD I decided to instead download the Setup Wizard from Linksys
(Router product page: http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/support/WRT54G3G-ST/download
Actual file: http://downloads.linksysbycisco.com/downloads/WRT54G3G-ST_SetupWizard_4_2_06042008.zip)
to my flash drive, then to my infected computer that is connected to the router. I ran it (Downloaded file version: 4.2.0.007 - Original CD Setup Wizard version: 4.0 printed on CD front.) and it immediately gave 1 of 3 options: Mobile Broadband Only, Broadband WAN Only, or Broadband WAN and Mobile Broadband. I don't know what damage, if any, I caused by continuing.
   It looked like it was trying to go through the entire router setup process. I thought it would take me to some options to reset the router, as I've read in the User Guide and elsewhere - that was my understanding. The setup process stopped at only 30% done "Router not found, please make sure the router is properly connected and try again." How much overwriting of original router setup files did I do by continuing? I'm entirely confused. Doesn't the Wizard check if the router has been previously setup prior to setting it up again? Did the version difference cause my router to not be detected by the Setup Wizard? Did the Generic.dx trojan that killed my broadband trash my computer settings so bad that my router is undetectable/essentially not setup?
Update of sorts: I tried one last time to reset the router, and I unplugged/plugged the network cable. Doing that I still had no broadband on my main usage Dell XPS computer that's connected to the Linksys router. However, my laptop, with Data Card in the router, was for the first time able to find the network - the constant connection and speed is brilliant, it's what it allways has been on the laptop (Since the trojan/router problems, my laptop only had broadband with the Data Card in the laptop.). Maybe the network cable simply wasn't re-connected properly/entirely during 1 of the many reset attempts, it indeed could also explain the downloaded Setup Wizard not being able to find the router/only getting 30% done.
Laptop Command Prompt IPCONFIG /ALL with Sprint Data Card inserted in laptop computer slot:
IP Address    = 174.158.XX.XXX (Sprint)
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.255

                         68.28.82.91

Default Gateway = 192.168.1.1
DHCP Server      = 192.168.1.1
DNS Servers      = 192.168.1.1
Since my laptop started working with the Data Card in the router I haven't tried again to reset the router, nor have I tried the downloaded Setup Wizard. I don't want to mess anything up further than I have(?) / the trojan has, and I need some expert advice, please, as to which of the 2 if either I should do (first?). On my laptop computer only, typing http://192.168.1.1 in Internet Explorer gets the pop-up for username and password, but I haven't proceeded. I've read you shouldn't reset the router and/or(? Is it both or just 1 please?) upgrade the firmware unless the computer is directly connected to the router - which my laptop is not. On my other computer that still has no broadband, Internet Explorer still tells me I'm offline when typing http://192.168.1.1 into it. My IP Address on it is still a Windows assigned 169.254.X.X and a Command Prompt PING 192.168.1.1 returns with "Destination host unreachable.", as it allways has and same with all other addresses (Except for 169.254.X.X).
Annoying 2nd "update" of sorts, apologies for length, as allways: I've been so focused on the trojan/broadband killing that I've cluelessly largely forgot that I have dial-up with AOL. Trying AOL dial-up also does not work, the insanity thickens... AOL software tells me to check my connection, but all phone cords are plugged in as should be. I plugged a phone directly into the wall outlet and I get a dial tone, I can call out OK, and the phone rings and gets calls OK. Device Manager-Modems-Properties-Device Status says the modem is working properly, and Resources Tab shows no conflicts. Diagnostics Tab's Query Modem looks OK to me, as does the log, but as allways I'm definitely no expert. I didn't change any settings anywhere.
   I have noticed off and on that checking IPCONFIG it says my IP Address is 192.168.1.100   It lasts maybe a day (then goes back to 169.254.X.X), maybe longer, I don't know - I don't check that often to pin it down (Should I?). During this time neither my broadband, nor my dial-up works. I can PING 192.168.1.100, but nothing else. I'm convinced the evil trojan killed both my broadband and dial-up - I've never had a problem with my Conexant D850 56K V.9x DFVc Modem prior. Also, I'm not convinced the trojan is not still lurking everywhere on my computer, I think it is...
Any and all help in restoring my broadband/dial-up is greatly appreciated, please... Thank you!

Hello. It's been entirely too long since I've replied, I'm sorry. There's no excuse, and it's terribly rude of me... You took the time to read and reply to me, and I endlessly appreciate that indeed. I apologize for my long delay, I'm sorry...
After I left my message I downloaded many virus/spyware scanners, etc. from my laptop onto my flash drive, then my other computer for some needed thorough deep scans. One that I downloaded was Network Magic, which somehow, someway fixed both my broadband/dial-up internet on my main computer that's connected to the WRT54G3G-ST router. I don't know what/how it repaired my connection, but the broadband connection/speed has been working brilliantly since... Network Magic worked for me, and I highly recommend it to everyone who has stubborn complete lack of internet problems (caused by trojans at that) as I did. There's no guarantee it'll work, but it did for me to my amazement.
Network Magic, as is Linksys, is owned by parent company Cisco. Respectfully to all the good knowledgeable experts here (Which clearly I am not.), I don't want to tread out of my bounds. I'm simply trying hopefully to be helpful and save some headaches for both you the volunteers and the users...buying a new router and/or computer was on my mind, with all due respect I recommend suggesting to try Network Magic to users if resetting the router/all else fails, please. I did use WinsockXPFix/WinsockFix utility prior to using Network Magic, I don't know if that matters.
I also upgraded my McAfee package, I installed over my old software instead of uninstalling first, which caused errors in the virus scanner of all critically needed things. I have it installed properly now, but it did cause quite a delay in re-focus of my time. Some of the virus scans also found many trojans, some were the same/in the same folders that killed my broadband - which stopped me in my tracks to insure uninfected cleaning.
That definitely doesn't entirely explain the long lapse of time, and I apologize for that, again. It's just that I'm trying to be cautious and slow in all this. To answer the first very good idea you made: Unfortunately, there's no place on my other computer to plug the router in to, which all the more so caused frustration (at the time). I forgot to include this in my novel length post of countless things to check/remember... It was a brilliant idea though, thank you...
I thank you for your time and help, I do sincerely appreciate it... Thank you... I think, and hope this matter is solved. It seems to be, the router is working perfectly as it allways has, and I'm positively happy as can be about it. Thank you... Peace...

Cannot upgrade the firmware.

I am using a BEFW11S4 router Version 4. When I checked the site and after a full day of messing around I found that the problem I was having was covered in the latest update. I downloaded the bin file and tried the upgrade process from the router management. It failed. leaving the router still working but still with my original problem. Went to user groups and read what i could find. I turned off virus program, firewall and connected directly to internet to download bin file. (did this 4 times) tried again. failed. still did not upgrade the firmware and read more and downloaded the utility It could not access the router - Login failed. tried to login to router and logged in fine. spent another 4 hours trying to find any other suggestions either on the linksys site and in the forums and could not find anything. Keep in mind I have been using cisco products for about 20 years now and I am fully qualified Network technician. Please don't annoy me with any more simplistic suggestions I need a workable solution since I have about two or three hundred of these types of units out there. My interim solution was to go to staples and pick up a $49 Belkin router that works just fine. The solution suggested by the linksys person on the phone was to pay $29 to maybe resolve the issue. can anyone see the economics in that?
P.S. went to the lela download link in the message at the top of this forum. It says to download lela click here. Did so and got a really nice demo. there was no download. so if anyone knows where to download that it might be worth a try.

Try upgrading the firmware of router ... reset it & reconfigure it ... if it works ... that will be fine if not ... then possibly the router is gone bad ...
