Connection reset during firmware upgrade

I have a Linksys WRT54GS (v5) router. I noticed that my firmware was outdated and tried to upgrade it tonight. During the upgrade progress, the browser reset the connection and now  cannot access my router configuration pages.
I did a hard reset. Then I did the 30-30-30 reset.
The reset worked but no matter what I do, I cannot navigate to any readable page within the router. I get the log in box and successfully log into the router. However, the configuration page(s) are all jumbled and devoid of useful information. It almost looks like a web page that needs flash to be enabled. Lots of colors and boxes but no text or links to other configuration pages
I know it's an old router but it has served me well. I would love to reinstall the old firmware (or new!) and copy my saved configuration file back to the router.
Is this a hopeless situation?
Is there a way to access the configuration via a command line interface?
Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Solved!

Actually, thanks for your answer but I posted too soon. I just found a solution to my problem.
Rather than try to rewrite the original persons instructions, I will copy and paste them below.
I found this fix on the following site:

Scroll down to the Comments section and find the one by "elmo21". The find the reply by "Lynn". I hope this helps someone.
It worked like a charm for me:

Hey guys,
I was faced with similar problem, that the page 192.168.1.1 can't seems to load properly. After surfing the net in search for solution, i finally got the answer! Now i can access the page without problem.
The problem is likely due to router firmware issue. This is what you can do.
1) Go to http://www.linksysbycisco.com/APAC/en/support to search for your router model, and download the latest firmware
2) Go to http://www.idealinternet.co.uk/restore-linksys-firmware.tpl and download the linksys-tftp.exe available on that page
3) Run the linksys-tftp.exe program. Key in the details as below:
Server : 192.168.1.1
Password : admin
File : <look for the firmware file that you had download earlier>
4) Click Upgrade
5) You should be able to see the progress bar that shows upgrading in process and eventually, it will show a message that firmware had been upgraded
6) After that, try going to the page 192.168.1.1 . Leave the username blank and key password as admin
7) The page should load nicely after the firmware had been upgraded successfully!!
Hope the above works for you guys!!

  • N96 crash during firmware upgrade & unrecoverable

    Finally Nokia sent me a text to say that a firmware upgrade - from 10 to 11 was available. I've tried to install it after first backing up the phone. During upgrade where the upgrade software continually referred to connection problems (while the Nokia PC Suit showed the connection to be in place) with about 5 minutes of remaining installation time the installer gave up. It asked me to turn off the phone and reconnect which I did. The installer could not recover the installation. I now have a phone that will turn on but just has a blank screen and PC Suit won't recognise it so I can't restore from the backup.
    Any ideas? Does my second N96 have to be sent back to Nokia?
    This is all becoming rather silly...

    B4 you update I found this improves the way it works
    before you connect phone by USB
    Plug in charger and leave in (make sure its turned on at the wall socket)
    1st switch to line 1 if you have 2 lines
    set profile on genral
    turn off password on boot
    turn OFF pincode request
    turn OFF fixed dial
    IF you have Lights ON installed uninstall it (you can put it back after)
    if You have any other prog that RUNS all the time Like Lights ON unistall that too. (eg rotate me on N95)
    TURN OFF PHONE
    remove SD card
    TURN ON PHONE to get a clean boot with nothing running in background
    now make sure you connect in PC suite mode when you plug in USB
    run P C suite click on Spanner TOOLS
    go down to software update
    NOW WAIT if it says there is a new version or it loads new drivers
    there are 5 or 6 cable drivers that it MUST load before it starts it only does that once the 1st time
    Now all will go well
    most of the crashes are caused by either a prog running on the phone or the pin or password being set and the phone cant reboot or a flat battery

  • Mac mini won't boot after accidental loss of power during firmware upgrade

    i accidentally hit the power switch on the wall during an upgrade (might even have been a firmware upgrade, I didn't really look at what was going on).  Anyway, now it hangs on the silver Apple logo screen with a spinny wheel on reboot.  It's only 3 months old, it's the $599 model.
    What to do?  I see that you can download firmware restoration disks but they appear to be limited to earlier versions of the Mac mini.

    I took it to the Mac store today and they fixed it for free by booting from an external drive and finishing the half-baked system update.  Now that I know how to do that, I can fix it myself next time.
    Thanks to Alan at the Salem, NH store!!

  • Zen Nano Plus - Connection Problems and Firmware Upgrade probl

    Like many others posting on this forum, for a while I had problems trying to get my GB Zen Nano Plus to be recognized by the .0.03 Firmware Update software.
    I eventually got it by doing this:
    While the Firmware Update software was "Searching" for a device, I kept on unplugging and plugging in the Zen Nano Plus from the USB cable while holding down the Play button, unti it "caught". I tried this since I noticed it would initially see the unit saying "A device has been detected in recovery mode...", but then throw the unit into "non-recovery" mode and hence force the Firmware Update software to keep on searching.
    Anyhoo, after it did finally "catch" it (after about 0 times unplugging/plugging while holding the Play button down), it showed my firmware as .03.02, and so I did the upgrade to .0.03. The upgrade said "Complete". I then take the unit off of USB, and put my battery back in. and. uhm. well. Now it won't turn on at all. *sigh*
    So there I go again in the "unplug-plug" loop on trying to get the older .03.02. Finally caught after about 30 times (yes my hands are tired). And after downgrading to .03.02, putting the battery back in, the unit turns on fine.. WHEW.
    So, beware to everyone. Not sure if I'd trust the .0.03 Firmware. Doesnt seem to work on my Zen Nano Plus, and I JUST bought the thing from Circuit City about a week ago.
    And for those of you having problems getting the Firmware Upgrade to work.. try my (tiring) method.
    I tried this on my Dell D600 laptop (actually used the USB ports on the docking station).

    With your player connected and View, Devices by Connection selected in Device Manager navigate through as follows:
    Advanced Config and Power Interface (ACPI) PC
    ->Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System
    -->PCI Bus
    You should then see a series of USB Host Controllers that you will have to click through in turn to find the one your player is connected to.
    Underneath each controller should be a USB Hub, and then devices are listed beneath the hubs.
    For my N200 I have USB Mass Storage Device, Creative MuVo N200 USB Device then Generic Volume.
    Your entry should be similar but with Zen Nano Plus instead of N200.
    While you're there, right-click on the entry for the hub attached to your player and select Properties. On the Power tab it will show how much current the port can supply and in the Attached Devices list it will show how much power the player needs. In my case the hub supplies 500mA and the player needs 00mA.

  • Performance loading websites is terrible & occasional "connection reset" errors after upgrade

    Firefox is very slow (minutes, really) to load web pages to the point where I have time to go open another browser (generally chrome) and cut/paste the url to see whether it is a network problem or not. So far Chrome has been able to load the pages very quickly while Firefox takes several minutes. Additionally I will get occasional "Connection Reset" errors. I was suspicious of browser add-ons, anti-malware software etc on my system so I've unstalled everything (except Sophos) and the bits which come with Windows7 (64bit). I uninstalled Firefox, deleting all user settings, browser history, etc and reinstalled a fresh copy. This didn't affect the problem.
    I have gone through the hints in the performace faq, set the proxy setting to no proxy, turned off ipv6 dns and dns prefetching and the problems exist. I'm happy to try and help track this down but I don't really know where to start. '''bold text'''

    I have the same problem, but only with firefox, because is the only program that i use (also watch videos with VLC, but this have no problem).
    I think we should report, but i'm not sure where.

  • Zen Micro constantly FREEZES during FIRMWARE UPGRADE - totally bricked!

    Hey,
    It's just like it says. My Zen Micro currently has no firmware besides the recovery OS because I chose "reload firmware."? I try to upgrade to both versions of the Zen Micro firmware (.x and 2.x) and as soon as my computer gets started and the Zen Micro has the little "data exchange" icon on there, the computer and Zen Micro hang. The progress bar gets nowhere and it's the Micro that's frozen, not the computer or the firmware upgrade program (I'm a software engineer, I know if it's the program freezing, and it is NOT).
    How in blazes is this happening? How can I stop my Micro from freezing? It's all so confusing!
    By the way, stats about the PC used:
    OS: Windows XP Sp2
    Windows Media Player 0 installed
    USB 2.0 ports

    I have exactly the same issue. Just tried to run the v.x to v2.x firmware upgrade and its been in recovery mode ever since. I tried to run the clean up / format / reload firmware option but it didn't work it just keeps coming back to the recovery mode. Anyone know how to fix this ? I was due to be getting on a 20 hour flight with this one as my company in half a days time so anyone with any good suggestions feel free to tell me ASAP!
    ThanksSteve

  • ZEN TOUCH 20GB - Stuck in Recovery Mode, during Firmware upgrade. HEL

    Ooooh dear.
    Me and my Zen Touch are completely stuck. Decided to upgrade the Zen's Software and Firmware and am now in deep trouble. Here are the steps I took.
    First I sensibly backed up the 2000 songs on the player to my computer. Then I updated the MediaSource software and restarted the computer. Then I decided to go for the big change and downloaded the new PlayForSure firmware installation and that's where the problem starts - It never completed the installation, which I had to manually stop. I knew as part of puting this new Firmware onto the player, the Zen would be wiped clean, which it has. However, I now cannot get it out of recovery mode and it will not respond to attempts to download the new (or any) Firmware onto it.
    What I now get is:
    -Plug the Zen in, the computer recognises that there is plug and play equipment attached and makes the appropriate noise.
    -The Zen will switch itself on as a response (or I can do it manually), with a normal-looking startup. It then briefly flashes a screen saying "Firmware Problem" before going into recovery mode.
    -If I choose Clean Up, it takes a few seconds to clean the now empty disk, and returns to the recovery menu
    -If I choose Format All, pretty much the same as Clean Up
    -If I choose Reload Firmware, it warns me that the firmware will be erased. And asks if it should reload it via USB. You say 'yes' and it briefly flashes up "Start firmware update now" before returning to the recovery mode menu.
    And finally, if I select Reboot, that's exactly what it does; the computer recognises that it's turned off, makes the noise, and recognises when it's turned on again.
    Trying to download the Firmware from the computer, however, has turned into a nightmare. I've tried downloading the PlayForSure firmware and old Firmware from the files on my computer (running XP, by the way). And I've also tried prompting the Zen starting up the Media Source software, BUT they all claim that the player is NOT connected! Even though it is! The Zen switches on and Windows makes a sound every time I connect or disconnect it!
    So what to do? I'm stuck in this vicious circle and no matter what random tricks I try, I can't get out. The player needs Firmware, but the software on the computer claims the player's not connected.
    The player is now more than a year old, so I can't return it, and Creative's less-than-generous telephone support is not an option, so I'm left to any imaginati've and kind-hearted subscribers to this list to offer suggestions.
    HELP!

  • Network connection timeout during iPhone upgrade

    This topic has been mentioned many times but it seems there are still many unresolved cases. So here's another appeal for help, maybe someone will go "AHA" !
    I have disabled my firewall by stopping the service. I disable my anti virus software. My connection is hardwired. The connection is FiOs and very fast. The computer is pretty "vanilla" as I don't tinker with it. Another phone/computer in the household is able to upgrade.
    The download appears to finish but fails in the processing file step. I assume there is some additional communication back to apple at this point that is timing out for some reason.
    Can anyone suggest a workaround? Or perhaps a suggestion of some other windows or network settings that can cause this failure. Something on my system is clearly blocking the communication as I have never been able to upgrade on this computer.
    Thanks.

    Hi
    I have the same problem. After waking up the MBP from sleep, my connection to my external Volume via AFP is lost. (ML 10.8.2.)
    Though i checked a lot of forums, but didn't find out how to solve this problem.
    I hope, somebody will find a solution …

  • Connection Reset during Download of iOS4?

    I start to download iOS4 on iTunes 9.2, and it gets to about 30mb downloaded and an error pops up, saying its stopped and the Connection was reset.
    Is this error caused by high demand or something else?

    I don't know but I'm getting the same thing and I'm about to smash up my phone because everyone else I know downloaded theirs in less than 30 minutes. Mine has a predicted time of six hours and resets at the same time as yours. My connection is fine for everything else, can download apps and songs with no issues. I would say high demand is to blame but if so then how are other people downloading theirs at the same time in so little time?

  • Vision M - no connection with firmware upgrade with WMP

    Now I know there's been a lot of fuss about WMP and firmware upgrades but I've got a problem with WMP0! If I connect my Vision M to the computer within seconds the Media Explorer page comes up and I'm away - success. If I run the firmware upgrade (ZENVision_PCFW_L6__42_0.exe) it comes up and says player is not connected. If I re-connect, Media Explorer pops up again and says player is connected but the firmware upgrade exe is still saying the player is not connected. It doesn't matter how many times I disconnect and reconnect, the upgrade program does not recognise the player! I checked WMP and that is version 0. So is this an earlier problem that someone's got an answer to I don't think I'll go to WMP! My Zen is version .40.02 and I'm trying to upgrade to .42.0. Please help?Glazza

    Perhaps the player is faulty? Try to contact CS and see what they have to say:

  • Firmware-upgrade failed router not accessible

    during firmware-upgrade the connection to E4200 got lost due to power-outage, now the E4200 router is not accessible, power-led flashes ...
    the factory-ip-address 192.168.1.1 responds on ping, but nothing else ...
    how to get a working environment back?

    Once reset the router. Steps to reset the router:
    Push the reset button on router for 30 seconds, turn off the router wait for 30 seconds and then power it on. After this process reconfigure the router. Power light should blink when you perform the reset process.
    Once the light gets stabilize on the router perform the following steps:
    #  Open up the browser and on the address bar type 192.168.1.1, it will prompt for the username and password. Provide the username as 'admin' and password as 'admin' or 'password'. Then it will open up the Router setup page.
    # Then click on status and check the firmware version. If its not updated then upgrade the firmware once again.
    # Then after firmware upgrade  reset the router again as explained above.
    Then uninstall the existing Cisco connect software from the computer. After uninstallation then configure the router again using Cisco Connect CD as you did earlier.

  • Firmware Upgrade for a WRT54G v8.1 Router

    I just resolved a connectivity problem by downloading and installing the binary
    file "FW_WRT54G_8.1.09.02_US_20071227.bin".
    After this upgrade, I was somewhat confused by the new displayed Firmware Version under Router Status in administration.  My new version is displayed as
    "8.01.09 build 01 Dec. 27,2007".  The date seems to agree with the downloaded binary file name.  The Release Notes for this latest firmware defines this download as "Last Firmware Version: 8.1.09 build2".  There is an associated Firmware Date of April 10th, 2008.  Do I have the correct file downloaded and installed for the WRT54G v8.1 Router or is there something else that I need to do to complete the firmware upgrade?
    There is one difference that I have noticed in my new configuration that is somewhat strange, as well.  I no longer have the ability to use "MAC Address Clone" in Setup.  It is grayed out. Please advise whether this is normal with this new Firmware.

    Yes, I am quite certain that the firmware was upgraded from version 8.01.08 build 02 Oct. 26, 2007.  The Router was reset after the upgrade and completely reconfigured.  The "MAC Clone" option remains grayed out after several attempts, but all other features are functional.  I have gained connectivity by this firmware upgrade to a Time Warner - Road Runner, Broadband System.  I may still want the MAC Clone feature in the future.
    Thank You!
