Firmware for WRT54GL Router

I have looked for 3 days to download the firmware file for the WRT54GL router. The CISCO download site only has the GPL for the router and not the firmware. Can anyone please point me in the right direction?

Hummm... what site are you going too? All files I pull down are pdf files License agreements???

Original firmware for WRT54GL Version 1.1

It appears that there is no firmware I can download for my WRT54GL Version 1.1. While it may never have been updated from what the router came with from the factory, it would still be useful to have it available. In my case, I would like to revert the router from the DD-WRT firmware to factory specs.
Any suggestions for what I could do?

Go to the United Kingdom version of the site where it will show a firmware download for v1.1.
Who knows why it doesn't list for the US.

Uninstalling firmware for WRT54GL

Hello, I sure hope someone can help!
I have been successfully using my Linksys router for about a week now using 3 computers all running Ubuntu linux with Firefox 3 browser.
Tonight for some reason, I thought I should update firmware. I did NOT get a warning not to do this unless I was having problems currently (read that after the fact in the user manual!).
Anyway, 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. I was able to go there for the past days and even today (that's how I updated the firmware!) but now suddenly when I sign onto that page using "admin" as password, all I get is a jumbled mess.
I can see the Linksys colors and the model of my router, but none of the drop down boxes work (or have anything in them). There are no longer clickable links on the page such as "administrator" or "wireless" etc. The page is useless to me and I have to be able to see and use it obviously.
Everything was fine until I updated the firmware, then it all messed up. Sure wish that message telling me NOT to update firmware would have been more obvious!
I am editing and inserting this paragraph to let you know I have also tried on a Windows computer using Mozilla browser and using Internet Explorer so now I am absolutely sure it is not a browser issue and is a firmware issue. Please help me get my router back the way it was. I see in the instructs that you can 'set to factory defaults' but since I can't access the page I can't do that either.
Please tell me how I can undo my update! What a mess...I have a product I can not use now!
Thanks to all,
pirate laura

1. Make sure you don't have any firewall or anti-virus running on your computer. Those are known to mess with the JavaScript in the web interface. Turn firewall and AV off even if it worked before with the old firmware version.
2. To reset the router to factory defaults press the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. Check the lights to make sure that it does actually reset.
3. Make sure you want to upload the correct firmware file compatible with your router. Router models have different hardware versions and not all firmware versions for a model are compatible with all hardware versions. Which firmware file did you upload?
4. If this all does not work you may have to reflash the firmware again. Sometimes it does not properly flash. Follow the instructions here. The article is for a blinking power light situation but the tftp firmware upload described should still work for you, too. Flash the same firmware file again.

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!!!

Bad firmware on WRT54GL v1.1

Tech support tells me my new router has bad firmware, but firmware for v1.1 isn't listed among the downloads. Where can I find it? Thanks.

You can download the firmware for WRT54GL v 1.0

How to install firmware for the WRT54G

I have downloaded the newest firmware for this router, but the file is a .bin. There is no .cue, .iso or other file associated with it. How do I open this file, or burn it?
I tried creating a .cue file using a .txt text editor:
FILE "WRT54Gv5v6_v1.02.2_fw.bin" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00,
and renamed it WRT54Gv5v6_v1.02.2_fw.cue
Roxio's Creator Classic will burn it to a CD, but when I try to load it by inserting the disk, the disk is blank - but shown as 100% used in raw format.
Any suggestions? Why would Linksys provide this firmware in this truly complicated format?

You point your browser at http://192.168.1.1/ This is the LAN IP address of the router inside your LAN. You can connect to this address when you are connected to the router. You don't need internet for that.
The router came with a firmware preinstalled. Without the firmware the router is just a piece of junk. The configuration program on the CD only sends settings to the working and operating router, i.e. a router which is running its firmware. You can update the firmware by uploading a new firmware file to the router. But there was no firmware on the CD nor was it installed anywhere during initial setup. The router came with a firmware otherwise you could not use it.
Just go to http://192.168.1.1/ and click on the Administration tab. The firmware upgrade function is somewhere on a subtab. You'll see a browse button with which you select the firmware file you downloaded before. Once you press the Upgrade button (please only do it if you really want to upgrade the firmware!) the browser sends the selected firmware file to the router where it will be installed after the router reboots itself.
There is no point installing it from a CD as you only have to transfer the file to the router. Burning it to a CD only to load it from the CD does not make a different. As you have mentioned it does not make a difference where the firmware file is. Only as you have to download it anyway and then just transfer it to the router there is no point in burning it on a CD. You upload it to the router and that's it. Afterwards you delete the file because you don't need it anymore and you can download the latest firmware from linksys.
When you write "DSL, cable and even VoIP modems" upgrading using any OS, did you ever do it? How exactly did you do it? Are you sure there is an updater for MacOS? Linux? Solaris? ... I think most modems will do it in a similar fashion using a browser upload.
I don't understand what the problem is with this kind of firmware upgrade for you. It works very well and is often used. Many devices have browser interfaces nowadays and thus it is only natural you do the firmware upgrades the same way. The router can be upgraded using tftp as well. However, there are a few pitfalls with this method and often you'll need a command line prompt to run it. But these are the only possibilities to send the firmware file to the router and somehow you have to get it there.

No downloadable firmware for my version.

Today, I decided that, since my WRT54G v7 router is getting notably old, I should update the firmware. After taking some time to read the documentation, I went to download the firmware.
Or well, at least I tried. There is no Version 7 firmware.
Can someone please tell me why there is no way to upgrade for me (I tried v8, but obviously, that doesn't work..)? Is there any other way to upgrade?
Thank you.

To download the firmware for your router click Here. This firmware is for WRT54G version 7.

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

TIPS for UPGRADING SUCCESSFULLY the FIRMWARE of your ROUTER

WARNING, before doing the UPGRADE, it is highly recommended to back-up the configurations of your router so that no matter what happened, you router configuration wouldn't be messed up and you can just automatically restore it (the firmware version upgraded to it will just retain).
Here's how to:
>open http://192.168.1.1
>username: blank, password: admin
>go to ADMINISTRATION TAB
>under the managerment subtab or config management subtab, you will see BACK-UP & RESTORE
let me give you a very useful tips guys,
when updating the firmware of the router and prevent the firmware from bricking or being corrupted and get a very successful results you will need to set a static IP adress ( so you won't lose connection to the router when updating the firmware) and force the card to 10 half duplex (so your router won't reply unless all the packets when updating firmware has already ben set thoroughly to the router) of your PC prior to updating the firmware. then after the firmware, push the reset of your router for 10 sec. then redo the set-up.
You will also need to shut down the computers that are running wirelessly and disable antiviruses and firewalls that are running currently...
here are the instructions:
ASSIGN A STATIC IP ADRESS ON YOUR PC:
go to your control panel [select classic view (click the option on the left side right below control panel title)]. select network connections...
under LAN or high speed internet, you will see local area connection. right click on it then select properties
under local area connection properties, look for internet protocol TCP/IP. high light it and click properties.
once on the internet protocol TCP/IP properties, set it to use the following IP adress.
IP adress: 192.168.1.5 ( it must be same range of your default gateway: 192.168.x.x)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (that is the default one. if not then enter the IP adress of your router, to check it, open command prompt, then type in "ipconfig" [no qoutes] the dafault gateway is equivalent to router's IP adress)
click ok and click the close button on the local area connectipn properties window (not the common "x" button when exiting out a window).
BRUTE FORCE THE CARD TO 10 Mbps half duplex mode
go to the same window (local area connection properties), once there, you will see a configure button. click it.
you will be lead to fast ethernet card 10/100 properties (depending on the type of etherenet card you have)
once there, click on the advance tab
under property, highlight link speed and duplex or media type or connection type (it varies, but these are one of those variations).
under value, select 10 Mbps/ Tx half mode/ duplex
click ok and click close on the local area connection window.
Then proceed with upgrading the firmware of your router. after updating the firmware of your router, reverse what you have done on your PC. by setting back the internet protocol TCP/IP to obtain an IP adress automatically and DNS server automatically (don't forget to click ok and close for the windows opened before opening a new one, okay?). then set back the speed and duplex mode back to auto-negotiation.
You should be able to get a successful results already after updating it. click on this link to reconfigure the router (but you must be online first to the modem since when the router is resetted, the configuration of your your router will be lost) http://www.linksysfix.com/check/HomePage/index.htm?CallerID=CC to reconfigure the router

"a helping hand in a community makes the world a universe"

Eh...
My routers GUI doesn't have the option to back up config so that doesn't help. Can't see why that would mater much anyway for home networking.
Also, I upgraded the firmware on my router multiple times and never had to force 10MB half duplex speeds. So, that doesn't help much either.

Firmware update for WRT54GL

I downloaded the firmware and instructions and got the installation to the point of "Restore the Router Settings". When I try to access the web the security screen comes up and won't take the user ID or Password that I used before. How do I get back into the router setup, so I can finish?
John

After upgrading the firmware on your router it is recommended that you should reset the router and reconfigure it.
Press and hold the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. Release the reset button and wait for 30 seconds. Power cycle the router and reconfigure it.
The default password of the router is admin , leave the user name blank.

Need v2.0 firmware for WTR54GS Travel Router

Does anyone have either the latest or original firmware for the travel router WTR54GS V2.0? (Not the WRT54G). Thanks.

The travel routter that you have WTR54GS v2.0 does not have any firmware for this version. The firmware will only be available for the version 1.0
in the Linksys/Cisco website or you can download it from the following link: http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/routers/WTR54GS/download

Firmware for wrp 400 voip router

the wps of this router cannot be disabled even though there is an option in the software to disable this. I read somewhere in the forum that cisco is coming out with a firmware to disable the wps. Please advise when this is coming in.
I disabled the wps in the software and enabled the manual configure. But with my new laptop which has wps, keeps asking for password for the router. I have already created a ssid and wpa personal tkip in my router but the laptop requires the WPS password of the cisco wrp400 router.
any help is appreciated.

Best if you get in touch with the Cisco SBSC and rasie a ticket. if a Beta Firmware is available then they can let you have it if it exists and resolves an issue for you.

Not able to access the Lynksys WRT54GL router

Hi,
This is Vijay here. Few months back i had upgraded my Lynksys router with Coova AP firmware. Everything was working fine. I had configured the AAA server on CoovaAP and was able to access the internet.I had configured the user name and password as a "testuser" and "password" respectively. With that user id i used to access the Coova AP router and internet.
Now i want restore the WRT54GL firmware on Lynksys router. But with the used id and password which i had configured the router is not at all accessible. So i did 30-30-30 reset on the router 2-3 times.
Now i can see openwrt login page with 192.168.1.1 IP address. It is asking for user id and password. I tried all the combinations of user id and password, but no luck. I browsed some link on the internet and some people have recommended that default user id as a "root" and blank password. But with that also the router is not accessible. I cant to do much on the router untill i will log in to router. I have spent lot of time on this.
Can somebody please tell me how to restore back the original WRAT54GL firmware on my router. Anyhow i want WRAT54GL firmware on Lynksys router. Can somebody tell me how to achieve this?? Or atleast what user id and password should i try to log in to router?? It will be great help.
I tried to use telnet command on the router (Connected router to linux based computer with ethernet cable). But telnet also not working. It is not asking for password, and it saying disconnected.
I am stuck on this router from almost 1.5 weeks. Can somebody please tell me some solution.
Regards,
Vijay

Ask in a openwrt forum. They should know how you can upload a new firmware file.

WRT54GL Router and HP Wireless Notebook

I have a Linksys WRT54GL router with v4.30.5 firmware and a SpeedStream 5360 modem with SBC Yahoo! DSL. My desktop is connected directly to the router and the internet works fine. I can connect to my wireless network on my HP wireless notebook with an Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG network adapter, but I can't connect to the internet. It sends packets, but hardly receives any (about 5 per minute). Windows Automatic Updates works fine, when I update the received packets increases, but I still cannot browse the internet. Even when I try a wired connection I get the same results, packets sent but few received. I've tried resetting the modem, and router, and repairing my adapter with no success. Thanks for any help.

Change the following settings
ssid-"yourname"
channel=11
beacon interval =50
RTS and Fragmentation threshold (default value) -40
the last 3 options are found under advanced wireless settings .
then restart ur wireless PC and re-connect to the wireless network.
if u have issues even after these settings....verify that u have the latest firmware
also u may need to change the power management option for your intel wireless pro NIC.
to do so....u need to go to the advanced properties of the Intel......under the "property" column...select "power management" and change the value to "highest"
in case u have any confusion....call tech support...n tell them what u wanna do....
my experience with linksys tech has been good so far

WRT54GL router's DHCP Active IP Table don't show wired ones?

Hello.
On my old Linksys WRT54GL router (with its latest stock firmware)'s http://192.168.1.1/DHCPTable.asp for DHCP Active IP Table, it only shows wireless connections. How come it doesn't show wired ones?
Thank you in advance.

Make sure the wired computers are not on static ip configuration, that there's no IP address permanently assigned to them. They should all be on DHCP, getting IP addresses from the router. If that's ok. It could be with the fw of the router. I suggest you may reflash it but if it didn't resolve the issue, reset the router then reconfigure it. Because on the DHCP client's table, it should show there all devices connected wired and wirelessly thru the router.
Here's the link for the download site.

Oh goofy me. Yes, I am using static IP addresses for the wired computers. Hmm, is there a way to view those static IP addresses?
