Firmware for BEFW11S4 v.2

Having problems trying to update the Firmware to my router.
1. The bin file that I downloaded is not recognized by winzip
- Any suggestions on how to open the Bin File
2. The second link for firmware upgrade downloads a word document not an actual file
Please provide any help if possible.
Thanks

sticky_wicket, once more: the .bin file IS the actual firmware file. You download this file from the linksys server and upload it unmodified exactly like it is to the router.
You do not unzip the file.
You do not open the file on the computer with any other application.
You download it.
Save it to your desktop or some other place.
You go to http://192.168.1.1/
Go to the Firmware Upgrade function.
You select the downloaded .bin file.
You click the upgrade button.
That's it.
Or you follow the instructions which are on the same download page as the latest firmware for the BEFW11S4v2. If you read that document they mention lated that you have to "Enter the location of the .bin file" into the tftp utility. This is the .bin file you have downloaded. However, you have to download the tftp utility separately now, if you insists on using this method.
They used to wrap up the firmware file, the tftp utility and the instructions into a single zip file. They don't do it anymore. The instructions are outdated. There is no zip file anymore. You only download the actual firmware file which used to be in the zip together with the tftp, the instructions, etc.
Download the manual, read you to upload the firmware file through the browser. It is easier and more convenient. It is on page 35 of the user guide.
Do not try to find any application which may be able to open this .bin file. Modifying this file by any application will not work and will most likely damage your router.

Can't find firmware for BEFW11S4 v2

I'm having trouble finding a firware update for v2 of my BEFW11S4 router. The support page for this model offers a firmware update for v4 only. My current firmware v. is 1.45, which may be the latest version, but I can't seem to find this out anywhere on the Linksys website.
The reason for the update is that my neew iPod 2G won't connect to the internet and I'm guessing an update might help.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

You can Download 740 KB firmware for BEFW11S4 V2 and save it on the dekstop
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 - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Help' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' .... 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...

Trouble updating Firmware for BEFW11S4

I'm using a BEFW11S4 Version 3. I recently wired it to a new computer with Vista and everything works great, but I haven't been able to update the Firmware. According to the setup page, I'm using Firmware Version 1.45.10 Apr 15 2004. I downloaded the new firmware and tried updating it from the "upgrade firmware" option on the "Help" tab, but that didn't do anything. Then I tried downloading and using the "setup wizard," and it claims it installed properly, but my Firmware version is still 1.45.10. Curiously, the "upgrade firmware" page layout changed a little after this. When I tried using this new version of the "upgrade firmware" page, in Netscape it says "Please Wait! Setup will take a few minutes" and sits there indefinitely (I've left it for hours), and in Explorer it gets interrupted with message "Upgrade action is not finish!! Upgrade file pattern error." Does anyone have any suggestions?

Okay… go to ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pub/network/ and download TFTP.exe, save this file on computer, run this file it would ask for server address and password…provide IP address of router as a server address and password of router and browse the firmware file and try upgrading firmware using tftp application…

Trouble downloading firmware for BEFW11S4 v.4

I have a Wireless B Router, BEFW11S4 v.4. I am trying to download the latest firmware and it provides a file names 'befw11s4_v4_v1.52.02_000_FCC_code'. This is a .bin file and I cannot open it or install it as an update.
Linksys instructions state that it should be a zip file but there is no zip file or exe file to download.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

updateing the firmware can default any settings you may have had.
look at your settings and see if they have changed or are still the same.

Firmware upgrade for BEFW11S4

I want to make sure I have the latest firmware for my BEFW11S4 but the upgrade instructions are out-of-date. They refer to the zip file but it's actually a bin file.
Even more frustrating, searching for other people who've had the identical problem turns up a non-senscial answer (how could he have used the auto-config tool successfully if the tool doesn't support the BEFW11S4 router???)
So, how do I upgrade my BEFW11S4v2 firmware?

You should not download firmware files from any other website then from linksys. Those routers run linux. The source code is available for download. Downloading firmware from other web sites may be a risk. You may download a firmware with malware, backdoors or worse installed.
The official latest firmware from linksys u.s. for your router is befw11s4v3.2_v1.45.10_fw.bin. If you have found some other zipped firmware file that is definitively not the "original" one. The only original one is the one from the linksys web site. The other one may be simply zipped by someone. Or it is something else.
The latest firmware file is available from linksys. It does not matter whether the file is zipped or not. You download the file. If it is zipped you unzip it. If it is not zipped (i.e. it is .bin as in your case) you simply use that file and upload it to the router through http://192.168.1.1/ I highly recommend to download the correct firmware file from the linksys web site and install it as I have told you before.

Firmware for Router BEFW11S4

I downloaded the Firmware for this Router (it's last been updated 2004, I'm not sure how much of a difference that makes). When I downloaded it it came as a BIN file. I opened it in my PowerISO and it said it said "The file format is invalid or unsupported." What can I do? Also when I get the proper file downloaded how do I upgrade it and also what might it change? Thanks.

Well try upgrading the firmware of the router & keep on holding tightly
the reset button in such a way that power light is blinking on the
router & then do a complete network power cycle i.e., unplug the power
cables from the modem & from the router & then plug in the power cable
to the modem first once all the lights are solid green you could plug
in the power cable to the router & check out it will definately work!!
Also,the advanced wireless settings to Beacon Interval=50,Frag
thres=2306 & Rts thres=2307 & then uncheck a Block Anonymous Internet
Requests & it will definately work!!!

Any ideas of what might be causing this.

Hi , here is the problem..... The firmware 1.52.02 is for the model no BEFW11S4 V4.0 and i believe you have BEFW11S4 V3.0...
Download the firmware 1.45.10 for BEFW11S4 V3.0 and you should be able to upgrade the firmware successfully.

Unable To Repair/Update Firmware for a Creative Nomad Jukebox

Hello all,
I've been trying for the past...3 or 4 hours to get my player to work, but it simply refuses to work =P. I sent the problem into Creative, but haven't gotten a response for a couple days now. So, here's a copy-paste of what I sent in that e-mail. If you can think of anything that might help, please don't hesitate to post! I really need your help on this one!
My player's hard dri've recently died, and I received
a replacement from the original store (a CompUSA).
However, my Firmware for the device has failed. I
tried the firmware upgrade for my Zen, but after
a certain number of tries, I gave up. Here is the
list of steps that I followed.
On Zen: Click "Reload OS", let it run, it says
run the firmware upgrader now.
On Computer: "You cannot install this firmware
update with your player's current drivers using
the SB394 connector. To update your player's
firmware, this application will temporarily
replace the current drivers and restore them after
the installation is complete. Continue
installation?", I click Yes. Then it says to
disconnect, and re-connect. I do it.
It shows my version (.2.0), and I'm upgrading/
repairing it to .2.02. When I click "Upgrade", a
warning message pops up and says:
"Your player cannot start up properly. Please
reboot your player and run this application again.
I've done this at least 0 times, and nothing changes. My player is a Nomad Jukebox Zen, the one with a FireWire connection, and like I said,
I've tried this at least 0 times with the same results. Is there a process to completely remove
the firmware on the device, then reinstall it,
or to roll it back or something? Any other ideas
to fix this problem is needed as well.

Bump.

After downloading firmware for airport utility, airport express base station no longer registers with airport utility on my Mac. Now the base station is blinking amber with no info of what is causing all this to happen. Any suggestions?

After downloading firmware for airport utility last night, airport express base station was deleted from airport utility and only Time Capsule remains. When I plug in the base station, an amber light blinks without being able to verify the cause. Any suggestions to remedy this problem?

There are only a couple of things you can do to resuscitate a nonresponsive Express:
"Hard reset":
Press and hold the reset button with a pen or pencil until you see the status light (LED) start to flash amber rapidly, which should occur after about five seconds.
If that does not work,
"Factory defaults reset":
Unplug the Express from power.
Press and hold the reset button with a pen or pencil, then plug the Express back in while continuing to hold the button until you see the light (LED) flash rapidly. This should happen after a few seconds.
Release the button.
In either case you will have to reconfigure the Express as a new device. A moment or two after it has been reset, the LED should be blinking slowly. It must then appear in your Wi-Fi menu like this:
Earlier versions of OS X will report it as "Apple Network nnnnnn".
In either case, select it, and then launch AirPort Utility.
If it does no appear in your Wi-Fi menu after it has been reset using one of the two techniques above, it is defective. Other than attempting another reset, there is nothing you can do.

I had the same problem with this firmware update

perform a factory reset on the phone and Communities and Chat surprise and something that works perfectly also note is that the browser to retrieve the factorygoes a little faster.
I mention it again from your phone please contact Menu> Settings> Restore FactorySettings> All, expect to complete the restoration and your phone is 100% functional.
Note: Before you restore a backup made of all your files, emails, contacts, etc. That everything is removed with the restoration.
