Certified router firmware - Cisco

OK, this saga continues. Some replys are suggesting my router is the cause of my IPAD connectivity, i still dont know why Apple have diferent requirements for the iphones and IPads or why the problem has only surfaced since getting an IPAD 3, my IPAD 2 was faultless and ran on the same router. In any case, my network manager has requested apple suggest a tested version of firmware for a Cisco 877w that workes with the IPAD 3 so he can upload.

Thanks for the reply,
Can apple provide a firmware version number for a cisco 877 W that they believe works with the IPAD 3?
I'm told there are literally hundreds of firmware versions out there for the cisco business grade routers.

  • New Safari 2.0.3 displays some Router Firmware pages as HTML Source text

      Hello Safari users and gurus.
    I installed the new 10.4.4 Combo Updater yesterday, preceded and followed by permissions repairs and other maintenance, including cleaning Safari Caches. Safari 2.0.3 works.
    My problem: 10.4.4's new Safari 2.0.3 displays HTML source text after I click "Save" from within my Linksys (latest firmware) router's web based administration pages that worked correctly with the previous version of Safari.
    When I check or change my router settings, the initial router settings pages appear as they did with the previous version of Safari. However, with 10.4.4's new Safari 2.0.3, as soon as I click "Save" to attempt to save a changed router setting, the confirming info from the router is displayed as HTML source code instead of the expected HTML page display.
    If I wait for the router lights to indicate activity has ceased and then reload the router's opening admin address, the page opens again normally, and I can navigate to other pages and see that the changes have been saved. However, any click on any "Save" changes button in the router's pages delivers another page of HTML source text.
    I will watch for future router firmware updates to see whether the issue is resolved from the Linksys side.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for improvement now? All assistance will be appreciated.

     Thanks glefand. As you suggested, I tried my old iBook G3 that is still running 10.3.9, and it works fine for me.
    My G5 DP also worked normally up through OS X 10.4.3. My problem only began after I installed the 10.4.4 update. I think the Safari update included with the 10.4.4 update is what is causing the issue with the firmware pages on my Linksys router.
    Hopefully a future router firmware update (or Safari update?) will restore proper operation. If not, I will continue to reload from the router's Start page. The need to work around this glitch is annoying, but the actual function of my router setup works without problem, even though the pages do not display properly.
    Thanks again for your helpful suggestion,
    Jim

  • 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.

  • Wrt160n v2 router firmware broken

    Hi,
    I just upgraded my router firmware to the latest version as found here: http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/support/WRT160N/download Installing this version was really a bad idea though... My mac's could not connect anymore, after a lot of searching I finally downgraded like described here: http://audipages.com/router/. This worked but the connection is kind of unstable now.. I can not put the router in Wireless N only because then Mac's and Windows computer can not connect anymore.
    Another thing is that the localized Dutch version of the site has a completely different firmware version of the same router: http://www.linksysbycisco.com/NL/nl/support/WRT160N/download....
    So obvious question is: What is the preffered and recommended router firmware version for the WRT160N v2.
    Thanks in advance,
    Lars

    The first thing is that it is not advisable to downgrade the firmware.It is recommended that to always use the firmware based on the model and the version no of the device..Area-wise the firmware does not differ a lot,however it is always preferred to use the firmware area-wise for the particular unit due to some limitation.
    It is advisable to reset the router after upgrading the firmware.So reset the router for 35 seconds,power cycle the router and reconfigure the router from scratch.

  • Router Firmware Bug

    Folks, please be sure to check that ROUTER FIRMWARE is up to date.
    After much time and effort with tech support on Verizon, Apple and AT&T, found that the iPhone wouldn't connect to my home WiFi, despite having my MacBook Pro connected wirelessly to the same router (DL 264/Verizon).
    In my third follow up call to the Apple store---after being on the phone with Apple help for a longish hour or so---it was suggested that I check with my internet provider (Verizon) to see if my router's firmware was up to date.
    I'll leave out the enormous PITA experienced and cut to the solution: it worked!
    thought someone might like to know
    macbookpro   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   iphone

    ActionTec tech support replied almost immediately to my e-mail.  Their response is that the router allows MAC filtering to be configured only from a wired connection, not a wireless one.  I doubted this, since I've had no trouble in the past configuring MAC filtering from a wireless connection, and even now I can do so as long as I don't try to put more than one MAC address in the ACL.  However, we dutifully hauled a computer down to the basement and reconfigured it with a wired Ethernet connection to the Verizon router.  Lo and behold, in this configuration we could put two MAC addresses in the ACL without problem.  Being on a wired connection does make a difference!
    So, based on my experience, it seems that MAC filtering can be turned on or off and a single MAC address can be placed in the ACL from a wireless connection, but to put more than one MAC address in the ACL requires a wired connection to the router.  This seems weird to me, but it's hard for me to imagine them doing this by accident.  They must have designed it this way on purpose.
    Anyway, I now have the MAC authentication configuration back the way I want it.  I should be OK until the next time FIOS fails and Verizon makes me do a factory reset on the router before they'll believe the problem is at their end.
    And I'll look into WPa, since the consensus of those posting here is that it's stronger than WEP, which is what I've been using.

  • Updating router firmware

    I have been having issues with my iPad staying connected to the Internet. Often it will show that I am connected and I will have 2-3 "bars" in my signal, but I get an error saying I can't connect to the Internet.
    I spoke with the Genius Bar at the Apple Store and they told me I need to update my router firmware. My router is a DLink (I believe) and I do not use a Mac, and he said that often the routers need to be updated to work with iPads. (I have the same problem with my iTouch).
    I am not sure how to update the firmware. I want to ensure I don't screw anything up as I use my computer to remote into my office as well.
    Any thoughts? Thanks!!!

    Just a question, is the wireless connection dropping, or just the internet? If the signal is dropping (and there are no other wireless computers or if there are, are doing the same thing), cordless phones have been known to contribute to problems. (http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/tutorials/article.php/2191241/Interference-from-Cordl ess-Phones.htm) If its just the iPad, and there are other wireless computers working find, its the renew lease thats screwing with it, in which case you would update the firmware (or can manually go into the router and force renew lease on it).

  • MAC Authentication Bug in router firmware version 20.19.8

    Since having FIOS installed a little more than a year ago, I have used MAC address authentication (filtering) in the FIOS router on my premises to limit wireless access to only the two computers in my home.  While trying to diagnose an Internet access problem on January 17, Verizon tech support updated the router firmware to version 20.19.8 (Jul 2 2011).  Since that time, I haven't been able to add more than one MAC address to the ACL (list of accepted MAC addresses).  The configuration page appears to put two or three addresses in the list when I ask it to, but if I revisit the list after applying the change, only the first address in the list is still there.
    I tried to report this to Verizon tech support, but was told that MAC authentication is an "advanced" feature and is supported only for customers who buy "expert" tech support.  I'm not anxious to pay extra for the privilege of telling Verizon that they have a bug.  Anybody have any suggestions?  Is there a way I can report this bug to Verizon without being stonewalled by tech support?

  • 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).
    Having spent millions on Cisco gear in my career, I would have hoped that Cisco+Linksys would have a little more Cisco and a little less Linksys.

  • Time zone doesn't work on WRP400 VoIP router firmware 2.00.32

    I purchased a WRP400 wi-fi router (two SIP VoIP ATA ports) and loaded the latest firmware (2.00.32). This code is bugware. Not only do the configuration screens not work properly in FIrefox (it keeps giving "your connection has been reset by the peer server") but the time zone is Pacific Daylight (GMT-8, DST+1, California) even after I set the proper values (Eastern, GMT-5, DST+1) for my region and restart the router.
    I've tried switching to a different manually-specified NTP server, I've tried other time zone selections but consistently I get anything except Montréal/Toronto/New York time or the time zone I'd asked for. Even Newfoundland time gives (gag me with a spoon!) California.
    Unfortunately, this is a voice-over-IP box so this wrong time information is fed to every telephone in my office as part of the Caller ID data every time a call comes in. I see no means to turn NTP off and specify a date and time manually.
    Short of putting up a "fake" (three hours ahead) NTP server somewhere on the local network and forcing this box to synchronise to that, is there any way to get the WRP400 to send the correct time to the telephone handsets if I'm not in California but three time zones further east?

    Setup → Basic Setup → Time Setting
    http://192.168.15.1/index.asp (at the bottom of the 'Basic' tab's page)
    Voice → Regional → Miscellaneous
    http://192.168.15.1/admin/voice/ (at the bottom of the 'Regional' tab's page)
    If I set them both to local time the system is displaying GMT (so four hours ahead, as local time is EDT).
    If I leave the voice settings at Cisco's California defaults and change just the "Basic Setup - Time Setting" to any local time zone in my region the system displays California time.
    So far, the only time I've seen correct and local data displayed is by setting:
    Setup → Basic Setup → Time Setting to "GMT - Liberia - no DST"
    Voice → Regional → Miscellaneous to my local time zone (GMT-5 - Eastern - Toronto/Montréal)
    Setting both configuration values (router basic setup and voice regional) to a valid, local time zone outside California  seems to be applying two offsets to the call display timestamp in some invalid manner. This is a bug.
    Time to pack up this equipment and ship it to Liberia?

  • E3000 Router without Cisco Connect

    I just setup my new E3000 which in general is working great.  Being a Cisco geek at work, my first step was to connect via http and toss the Cisco Connect CD to the side.  After getting the basics setup to mimic my old Cisco 871W, I started to look into some of the whiz bang features on teh E3000. 
    The first one that I wanted to take advantage of was having a different SSID for the 5GHz band from the 2.4GHz band.  In the web interface this seemed simple to do, but although the SSID was showing up on my laptop I was unable to connect to it.  As soon as I made the SSIDs the same, my laptop connected to the 5GHz side or 2.4GHz just fine.  Is there some magic to getting this setup?
    The other feature I wanted to setup was the Guest access.  Unfortunately it looks like this feature is hidden unless you use Cisco Connect and if you don't use 192.168.1.1 for your router Cisco Connect can't see it.  Am I missing something somewhere?
    Thanks,

    I initially had a different SSID for the 5GHz band and was able to connect my Wireless-N bridge to it without any problems. However, hours later, both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands flaked out, and now I can't get anything to connect to them. The wired portion of my router works fine. I'll be doing a firmware reinstall and 30/30/30 hard reset tomorrow. I assume it might be an issue with the firmware being 1.0. if it's not, it's being returned for another unit.
    As for guest access, yes, you can only adjust it through Cisco Connect. There is no web UI option for it. If you change the password of your router, its default IP, and possibly its name, Cisco Connect will not work.
    Cisco really screwed up this release. Hopefully the next firmware release will fix all of this.

  • Help - WRT54GL Router Firmware

    ok. here is what happened. I bought this brand new WRT54GL router months ago to replace my old router and decided to upgrade the firmware. After  updating the firmware per the instructions, I can no longer view the url http://192.168.1.1 to update or change my profile.. all I get is a jumbled mess. I might have downloaded the wrong firmware file or did something.  Today, my old router finally died. so.. i really need to fix my Linksys WRT54GL otherwise i'm doomed!!!  Please help.
    Here is what I did so far...
    I tried to reset the router to factory defaults press the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. this didn't work
    I made sure i downloaded the correct firmware this time using this site(http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/GetArticle.aspx?docid=f86931aadf06450495507691acdf0d87_3703.xml&pid=80...) but since my config page is broken, i cannot upload the .bin file into my router.
    I only know how to flash the firmware through web browser when I googled reflash the firmware.
    Any help is appreciated!!!!

    Hi.
    First make sure you can identify the correct version number of your router. There are two. Refer to this, http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/wireless/lbc/WRT54GL. Now based o n the version, download the correct firmware.
    To re-flash your firmware, you may use this tool, http://www.idealinternet.co.uk/linksys/linksys-tftp.exe

  • Linksys RVS400 router firmware update

    We have a Linksys RVS4000 that has not had its firmware updated since we bought it.  We are running version 1.1.09.  Our internet is going down often and we have to continually restart the router, as it is usually the problem.
    How do I update the firmware to the latest version? Where do I find this update? Will I have to incrementally update since we are so far behind?
    Thank you

    Here is a link to download the firmware:
    https://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=282414013&softwareid=282465789&release=1.3.3.6
    No need for incremental updates. This should preserve your settings but you may want to write them down just in case.
    There are more recent versions however it looks like your router is version 1, a version 2 firmware won't work on it.
    To upgrade you download the file then login to the router usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 in your web browser. Login default is admin/admin
    There will be several tabs 1 of which will either be administrator or system management the option you will be looking for is Firmware upgrade. Click the button that says browse and select the file you downloaded then click upgrade. Give it some time to work. Don’t unplug it until it has finished. It should only take a minute or 2.

  • 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.

  • Problems w/ BEFW11S4 V.2 Wireless router (Firmware Upgrade & Wireless connectivity)

    HI Everyone,
     I figurd I try this before I went out an bought a new wireless router.
     I have a Linksys BEFW11S4 v.2 wireless router/4port switch and I have (2) issues.
    1st, on the HELP screen I have no link to 'upgrade firmware' - (currently using v1.40.2 Nov 28, 2001). I'v etried to download the uprgade and I have the .bin file saved, but have no idea how to upgrade without the UPGRADE link in Help.
    Any ideas???
    2nd, my wireless conenctions won't work (hence the reason I'm trying to uprgade the firmware - was hoping this might fix the wireless issue).
    I have reset the device (reset button to factory defaults and currently have NO security setup for wireless - until I can get conenctivity working again).
    Again, any ideas or experience with getting these sorts of problems resolved would be greatly appreciiated! 
    Thanks for reading this and for any help you might be able to provide.
    P

    Were you able to get your issues fixed?  I too have had some connection issues with the same router, although mine is V.4.  On mine I would loose all connectivity, not just wireless, at random times.  It seems like it would happen a lot when I would use the wireless for my laptop (i.e. when I would bring it out of sleep mode).  I have also had it happen with streaming media.  The only way I can fix this issue is to power down the router for a couple seconds and then it's fine, until it happens again.  I had two different guys from Linksys (try to) help me and I did everything they recommended and it still does it. 
    Hopefully you don't have the same issue...

  • ISCSI-to-FC routing in Cisco MDS 9000 Family

    Hi,
    I'm puzzled about support for iSCSI-to-FC routing in the MDS 9000 family. Earlier hardware such as the 9216i switch and the MPS-14/2 module had a feature to allow an iSCSI Initiator to connect transparently to an FC target. This equipment is now EOL and has been replaced by models such as the 9222i switch and the 18/4 Port Multiservice Module. The datasheets for these replacements strongly imply that they support iSCSI-to-FC routing in a similar way to the earlier products - for example "iSCSI for extension of the SAN to Ethernet attached servers - Extends the benefits of Fibre Channel SAN-based storage to Ethernet attached servers".
    I tried to find some hard technical info to confirm this. Chapter 4, "Configuring iSCSI" in "Cisco MDS 9000 Family NX-OS IP Services Configuration Guide Release 5.0(1a)" says that the feature is only available on the IP Storage Module, the 9216i switch, and the MPS-14/2 module, all of which are now EOL. It doesn't mention the replacement models in connection with this functionality, though they are mentioned elsewhere in the book for other features such as FC over IP. I've searched for documentation of the iSCSI support on the new models and the only document which seems relevant is this chapter - but it says it doesn't apply to these models.
    Do the replacement models support iSCSI-to-FC routing or not? The datasheets use wording nearly identical to the earlier models in this area, so I assume they do. If they do, how is it configured and where is it documented? I sent feedback on this to the documentation feedback address a while ago, but haven't had a reply.
    Many Thanks,
                                jjf

    The "Configuring iSCSI" chapter in both 3.3.3 and 4.1.1 documentation similarly talk about IPS and 14/2 modules but make no mention of 18/4, however I've used iSCSI on the 18/4 with both releases. I can only guess the same is true for 5.0 since I have yet to load 5.0 on any switches.
    In terms of other documentation I don't think there is any, but all the required information is presented in the "Configuring iSCSI" chapters however it's not the easiest thing to understand from the documentation. Following is the overview I sent to a teammate on how to setup iSCSI.
    1. configure Ethernet ports with ip addresses
      1a. add a route to the host, iSCSI client, via the gigabit interface 2. enable iscsi on the switch
      2a. enable iscsi on the module with the gige port
      2b. 'no shut' the iscsi interface corresponding to gige port
          e.g. gige3/4 -> iscsi3/4
      2c. no additional configuration of the interfaces is needed, although at some point turning on authentication would be a good idea
    3. create iscsi initiator
      3a. use the clients ip address as the initiator name, using the node name would be better but I haven't tried it that way so ymmv
          e.g. 'iscsi initiator ip-address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'
      3b. use a "system assigned" nwwn and set it static
          e.g. 'static pWWN system-assign'
      3c. allocate one "system assigned" pwwn and set it static
          e.g. 'static pWWN system-assign 1'
      3d. assign vsans, an iscsi initiator can be in more than one vsan
          e.g. 'vsan xxx'
    4. create targets
       spcsw1(config)# iscsi virtual-target name iqn.000190300646.fa02cb
       spcsw1(config-iscsi-tgt)# pwwn 50:06:04:8a:d5:f0:79:a1
       spcsw1(config-iscsi-tgt)# initiator ip address xx.xx.xx.xx permit
    5. zone the iscsi initiator's pwwn to the target pwwns, use 'sh iscsi initiator configured' to see the pwwn
    6. configure the hosts iscsi initiator, usually not much more than specifying the ip address of the gige port on the MDS
