Disabling WPS on Wireless APs via Firmware Modification

Greg Ose posted on the procedure if anyone wants to use it.
http://blog.nullmethod.com/2012/01/disabling-wps-on-wireless-aps-via.html
See, greg Ose already has a patch out - well, he can certainly disable WPS and that's most critical right now.  Ok, Cisco now have a go at it.

While this is interesting, I'd suggest it makes a lot more sense to look at the latest "tomatousb" firmware for the E4200.  It is very solid as-is, no mods needed, and well tested, much less risky.  Just upgrade to it, empty the NVRAM via the "configuration" menu, and start configuring it.  You'll have to do this part anyways, so you might as well avoid the risky step of modifying Linksys firmware, and go for pre-made firmware instead.
Both routing and wireless works very well, with no WPS implemented.  There is also USB and media server functionality which I hear work well, also.  I haven't used them.  And you can do things like setting the transmit power of your router, but be careful with that *smile*.  You can also monitor various usage parameters, way beyond Linksys firmware fuctionality.
Works real well for me and for many others as well.

  • Snow Leopard 10.6.4 and unable to get IP address from Wireless APs

    I have a MacBook Pro with 10.6.4 and just recently ran into an issue in connecting to Wireless APs. Many of my corporate APs with WPA2, etc work great. I even have some great success at customers of mine with Cisco APs and open authentication (ie., Guest access).
    However, I have been having alot of problems with generic APs (Linksys, etc.) For example, I have been in two hotels in the past week and I would connect to the AP, but I would only have a self assigned IP address. I have no problems at Starbucks.
    I have tried to turn airport on and off, rebooting with no success. I have also disabled my firewall with no luck. The problem is very repeatable.
    What do you think?

  • MARs and Wireless APs

    Has anyone configured thier MARS appliance to monitor wireless APs such as a Cisco Aironet 1240? As of Version 4.2.2 there are no wireless products listed under device type. If someone has this configured which device did they use?
    Thanks.

    bobsills,
    This is absolutely possible. We have all of our wireless APs added to MARS. Simply add them as a Cisco IOS 12.2 device and MARS should be able to log in and manage the devices. We have everything from 1200s to 350s monitored via MARS. Ensure that you're using IOS on the APs, as older VxWorks ones cannot be managed by MARS. Any other questions I can answer please let me know.

  • E2000 - Disable WPS

    I have Linksys E2000, where can i disabled WPS?

    There are two ways to disable the WPS functionality:
    1] Switch to Manual Configuration. – You can select the configuration View to manual which will disable the WPS feature. If your client device has a Wi-Fi Protected Setup button, do not click or press that button.
    2] Turn off the Wireless Feature: - If not using wireless functionality, disabling the Wi-Fi radio. If the wireless radio is disabled, none of the wireless devices in your network will be able to connect to the Internet.

  • My iPhone 5S no longer sees my wireless printer via bluetooth

    my iPhone 5S no longer sees my wireless printer via bluetooth.  All it does in Settings is continually search for devices.  I've rebooted the phone, as well as the printer.  I even sat next to the printer with no luck.  It did find the printer when I initially set it up.

    Did this work for you in the past?
    ios does not support bluetooth printers without extra software.
    Helper app -- /print n share
    Print directly to the widest range of network or WiFi printers available in any app. Alternatively print via your computer to ALL printers including USB & Bluetooth printers. View read and display large PDF, Office & iWork files. Easily transfer & store files from the Cloud or your computer.

    You need to buy the right printer.
    The iPad uses a print technology called AirPrint. Airprint is a particular communication protocol that flows over WiFi.  So, having a WiiFi printer isn't sufficient. The printer needs to be of an Airprint variety of WiFi.

  • I have a WRT54G Wireless modem with firmware version 1.02...

    I have a WRT54G Wireless modem with firmware version 1.02.1 Mar 4 2003. i down loaded the latest firmware for the modem but i can't install it. I get the erroe message"incorrect image file".
    What is wrong?

    Which version of the WRT54G do you have?  If it is not clearly stated on the router, go to Wikipedia.org and search for WRT54G, then you can use your router's serial number to determine which version of the router you own.
    The version of the router is important.  Each version has a different set of hardware in it, so each version takes a different firmware.
    You can only load the firmware that corresponds to your model and version.

  • New features for 5D MK III via firmware

    The 7D Mark ii has some great features like the ability to finetune the shutter speed logic in the Av programm. This way you can shorten it to two or three times of the calculated basic value. Why don't we get this feature in the 5D Mark III via firmware upgrade? After the amount of money spent some feature upgrades possible via firmware should be delivered.

    The 'firmware' will probably come with the 5D Mk IV.  Don't look for it on a Mk III.You bought the camera for what it is.Both the 7D and the 5D3 have had fairly radical firmware upgrades during their lifetimes. Conceivably we couod see another if, say, they were to fall behind schedule with the 5D4 and wanted to stall a bit. What are people expecting from the 5D4? Not higher resolution, since that itch has already been scratched. Better low-light performance? Dual-pixel autofocus? An IR AF assist beam where the built-in flash isn't? GPS (with an actual "off" switch, one would hope)? Interchangeable focussing screens (including one with a split-image rangefinder, like a Katz Eye)?

  • Add new known wireless network via Client Management - Possible?

    Is it possible to add a known wireless network via Client Management and if the answer is yes, how can you do it?
    Other ways to add a known wireless network to a bunch of clients?
    Thanks a lot!
    Best wishes

    Hello again,
    I've tried something else.
    1. Adding the network to our image master (via System Preferences)
    2. Copying:
    /Library/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    /Library/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
    /Library/Keychains/System.keychain
    from our master to every client which shall be able to use the new network.
    That seems to work because the network is shown up in System Preferences -> Network -> Options -> Airport -> Preferred networks.
    Unfortunately this solution has unpleasant side effects. For example the computer name is changed back to the computer name of the master, because the computer name is stored in the preferences.plist file, too.
    Any ideas to get the same conclusion without those side effects?
    Thanks a lot!
    Best wishes

  • Shutdown wireless interface via SNMP Write?

    Hi
    We're working on writing a very simple web app to control a couple of access points via SNMP.  I'm trying to shutdown the Wireless interface via SNMP WRITE with the following oid;
    .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.7.1
    and
    .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.7.2
    But its saying the integer of '0' is invalid (badValue, wrong type or length).  I'm able to set other values like hostname, etc, so I know my string is correct...can anyone help?  THanks

    Hi
    Just found my own answer...the value to shutdown the interface is not 0, it's 2.  durrr

  • Network mode: Create a wireless network vs. Extend wireless network via ethernet

    Can some one tell me the difference between configuring AirPort Utility : Network mode: Create a wireless network vs. Extend wireless network via ethernet? I connect my cable modem to my Airport Time Capsule to a network switch via ethernet. The switch contacts to three Airport Express (AE connects to two  Apple TVs via Ethernet) and another TC. Which is the best mode to configure my network?
    Thanks

    Create a wireless network is used only when the Airports have an Ethernet connection. If you are using the setup wizard.....the setting will read Extend using Ethernet during the setup. If you go back in using AirPort Utility to check the Network Mode setting.....you will see that it is really Create a wireless network.
    Extend a wireless network is used only if an AirPort is connecting to another AirPort using wireless.......not Ethernet.
    Every one of the Airports on your network must be configured to Create a wireless network.
    If you do connect an Ethernet cable to an AirPort that is already set up to Extend a wireless network......that will create a massive feedback loop that will crash the network until you remove the Ethernet connection to the device.
    The bottom line here might be if you are using the setup wizard, it will make the correct choice for you.
