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.

  • MSI DR4-A,How do I upgrade the firmware? (How do I flash?)

    I can't use my MSI DR4-A for anything now since i dont know how to upgrade the firmware (flash) can somebody please explain how to flash it better then the ReadMe file the lates update came with..cause i seriously don't understand the readme neither does any of my friends..so please help me someone...

    I updated the Firmware yesterday, what I did was the following.
    Downloaded the latest (2.50) firmware from the download page, and putted all the files (DVFLASH.EXE and 250D.BIN) on a floppy.
    Went to Bootdisk.com and downloaded the win98SE OEM bootdisk (as suggested by others here) and ran the exe by using a second floppy.
    Rebooted my pc with the newly created bootdisk in the floppy drive.
    After a while you'll see the prompt.
    Replace the bootdisk with the disk where DVFLASH.EXE and 250D.BIN is on and make sure the promt says A:\ (assuming this is your floppy drive).
    Then type DVFLASH 250D.BIN
    (also assuming the version is 250D.bin, which it is now atm).

  • TS2634 Trying to restore my iPhone 5 after an upgrade to 6.1.3 but after download informed that firmware at the wrong release.  How do I upgrade the firmware to do the restore?

    I have been having an issue with iTunes match pushing song titles to my iPhone and iPad but am not able to play the music on my iPhone.  All that I get are greyed out song titles.  Thinking restoring my iPhone would help, I proceeded with the restore but after it downloaded I got an error message that my firmware was the incorrect version for the software and ended without allowing me the option to update the firmware.  How do I do the update?  Could this explain the issue with iTunes Match?

  • How to set up a password or security using wireless g broadband router wrt54g

    Hello Everyone I have had my router for a while and a friend mentioned I should password protect my connection so other people can't lech off of my wireless connection. My roter is installed and connected to my main office computer and I only bought it so i could use my laptop around the house. Everytime I go to profile then secuirty settings and try to imput any password and hit ok. Well after I connect to my wireless profile it comes up with my router has no secuirty turned on at this point. Yet I read from many sites that my router which is model wrt54g has secuirty features. Could someone please help me figure out how to password protect my wireless connection. THank you

    Hit there exiledone1!
    If there'd be any computer which is working through the router, you could get into the router's User Interface without any problems then. You need to get to this page so that you'd be able to do necessary changes on it's wireless settings.
    http://192.168.1.1 would be the address, type this on the Address Bar of your Internet Explorer browser or Mozilla Firefox browser. If you'll be prompted for a login page, simply leave the username blank (or don't write anything on it) and your password would be admin. You'll be able to see the Wireless Tab once you'll be inside the page and below the Wireless Tab would be subtabs and one of them is Wireless Security. Just click on Wireless Security and you can choose WPA for your Security Mode. Just type in anything right on the WPA Pre-shared key field and this will then serve as your wireless password (a.k.a network key). Just make sure the length of the key would not be less than the count of 8 characters.

  • How can I run the firmware of WRT54G ?

    I bought Wireless WRT54G ver6 in U.S and it worked well. But now I have business in Vietnam so I carried on but the power light is blinking, I used adaptor with input 220V and output 12V, 500mA. I also downloaded  the firmware WRT54Gv5v6_v1[1].02.0_fw.bin as I read in FAQ but how can I open that file, I can not use Winzip to open. Thank you for helping me

    You cannot open .bin file, first off all let me know is power light is still blinking?? If not…check the IP address of computer that is getting from router, try to ping 192.168.1.1 (default IP of router), If you are getting replies you can upgrade the firmware… you can use TFTP application, logon to following link and download tftp.exe… ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pub/network/  

  • 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.

  • 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 ...

  • How do I set the firmware password on 10.7

    Hi
    How do I set the firmware password in Mac OS 10.7.2 (MacBook Pro) ?
    The Apple instructions only seem to go up to 10.5.x
    Thanks

    Firmware password is not much use as any thief can reset it by pulling out the memory chips and putting them back in again.
    The only real way to secure your data 99% is to use FileVault 2.

                        I have an IPod Touch and how do I upgrade the OS so I can download stuff that needs IOS 4 or 5 please?

    Which iPod touch do you have? If you're not sure, take a look at this -> Identifying iPod models
    This Apple article outlines the versions of iOS that will work on each iPod touch.
    Notes:
    iOS 4.2 is the latest version of iOS for iPod touch (2nd generation).
    iOS 3.1.3 is the latest version of iOS for iPod touch (1st generation). If you are using an iPod touch (1st generation) with iOS 2.x or earlier, you can purchase iOS 3 from the iTunes Store. See this article for more information.

  • How can I update the firmware all at once

    I'm a tech support in a school, approximately our school has over 500 laptops, how can I update the firmware on all laptops at once?

    Apple Configurator is the software you want - and it's free from Apple. However, I'm dubious that firmware can be updated all at once.

  • HT5704 I have a iphone 3G. How do I upgrade the IOS . My email no longer works and I get a message to upgrade my IO

    How do I upgrade the IOS in my 3G iphone using the usb cable hooked to my computer ?

    To view the version, use Settings > General > About and look down the list of details shown there; that will usually display the software version.
    iOS 4.3.1 is the last version of iOS for the iPhone 3G. 
    To upgrade iOS (if you're not already running 4.3.1), connect your iPhone to your Mac or Windows system via the cable, launch iTunes if necessary, and follow the instructions that should appear.
    If you are already running iOS 4.3.1, there is no further upgrade.
    What tool or application or support forum or message is presenting the message about your mail and the upgrade?

    You can either,
    A: Go to iForgot.apple.com and reset the passcode using the password system there, or by going to appleid.apple.com
    or 
    B: IF possible restore the device to factory settings via iTunes.
    What's the xtent of the damage and the reason you need to do it?
    IF it's for iMessage as "Chief501" you will have to go with Option A or just wait till it falls off itself.

  • How do I install the firmware update for LinkSys E900 router?

    Hi,
    I'm using Mac 10.7.5 and a few months back had purchased the E900 wireless router.  It has firmware 1.0.03 installed and I noticed there is a 1.0.04 update.  I downloaded the update, which is a .bin file, but I do not have a CD burner nor access to a Windows machine.  How can I install the firmware update?
    Thanks, - Dave
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Simple, with your wired computer (never wireless) just access the GUI in the router and perform the firmware update.  Just point to the .bin file and away you go.  Make sure to hard reset the router and reconfigure it after you are done.
