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!

  • Firmware Upgrade for Actiontec GT704WG Rev. B Router

    How do I find the firmware upgrade for the Actiontec GT704WG Rev. B Router?  Almost everytime I try to get onto the internet, I have to run the troubleshooter because there is no connection and the final diagnosis is that "The default gateway is unavailable."  Googled and found that it is due to the need for a firmware update for the router but cannot find one on the internet.  Help!!!

    Hi Funrunner
    You didn't say which version of the firmware you are currently running, however the latest firmware for that router is Version
    3.20.3.3.5.0.9.2.14
    Thank you,

  • Firmware upgrade for Westell UltraLine Series3 A90-9100EM15-10 ?

    I'm wanting to check for/download install a firmware upgrade for my Westell UltraLine Series3 A90-9100EM15-10.
    It's currently running
    Software Version:     1.02.00.04
    Release Date:     Aug 28 2008
    I'm hoping there's an upgrade available that fixes the HDMI Handshake/dropout problem?
    Anyway, the screen I'm taken to after clicking "upgrade" in the router's management UI says :
    Check every xx hours at URL _______
    The field after "at URL" is not populated.
    If I click "check now" I get:
    "URL must be in the format: protocol://userassword@hostort/path where protocol is one of http, https, ftp or tftp. Either user or password, or both, may be left out. The port number is also optional."
    Was that URL field supposed to be populated by the tech who installed the FIOS?
    Where can I find that URL so I can paste it in and get my firmware updates?

    Nevermind.  I've found it.  The link to 1.03.00.08 firmware is http://download.verizon.net/webdownload/firmware/upgrades/westell_router_9100em/A90-9100EM15-10-1.03...

    ENHANCEMENTS / ADDITIONAL FEAUTRES [I HAVE LISTED THESE BY MY PERSONAL ORDER OF PREFERENCE]:
    ) Allows the playback of Audible content types ,2,3,4 on the player, via a plug-in in Audible Manager

  • Firmware upgrade for Officejet 4500 G510n-z

    Please. i need the firmware upgrade for Officejet 4500 G510n-z or at the original firmware. my machine is acting uncommon. The paper feeder process start and page stop in the middle.
    thanks for all your help.
    Regards;
    Carlos Peguero

    Yes, there should have been either a firmware update/patch, or a full recall on this device. 
    The software setup and configuration is bad enough for one humble computer, but when used as
    intended with multiple devices it's an absolute headache. 
    I am constantly having to unplug the printer because the machine has decided it needs to rest for a bit. Okay,
    everybody deserves a break now and then. But it goes into coma mode and I could be jesus himself and the power
    or any other button) still would not wake it. 
    I would get into the rest but I'm not getting a helpful vibe from the forum; it's more defensive of a product which, apparently just under 5000 people have come by to check on. My friend at Microsoft talked to an HP engineer, who
    laughed and gave us the fix. 
    Uploading to FedEx-Kinko's is the better option.

  • Firmware upgrade for Nokia 6280

    I would like to know do we have firmware upgrade for Nokia 6280 as my present one is 3.65 and would like to upgrade it to 5.92 and I am in India
    Could you please help me out.

    updating to new firmware depends on product code which represents your region of purchasing, language pack and if it's branded or not .... so NOKIA releases firmwares and release it for every product code depending on mentioned points
    you can check for updates @ :
    http://mea.nokia.com/support/download-software/device-software-update/can-i-update
    To find what the latest available device software is, you’ll need your device’s product code. The code is printed on the white label beneath the battery (e.g. CODE: 0520001).
    if your phone is branded with an operator, that means that you should go to the operator care center and ask them, not NOKIA
    some updates delay in some countries variant product code, as it requires more effort to add language pack to it like "example. China Japan Korea" or it needs the country to approve it due to its policy
    -you can show appreciation to my posts if it helped or useful by pressing the green Kudo star beside my post that hepled
    -if my answer was the solution , so click accept as solution button

  • PlaysForSure Firmware upgrade for Zen Nano/Nano P

    i think that it would be absolutely awesome if us nano/nano plus owners could listen to the suscription service music like Yahoo Music Unlimited and Napster to go. I want creative to come out with a firmware upgrade for the nano to make this possible. If you want this firmware upgrade, please sign.

    SSR wrote:
    There may be hardware limits that prevent these players from using subscription music, such as a secure realtime clock. Also this petition could probably be extended for all the flash players (whether capable or not).
    But remember the Xtra and Touch got PFS support and I dont think they were designed with a secure clock in them.... so based on that flash players <i>could</i> have PFS support

  • Will the Software Update to 10.4.7 install firmware upgrade for SuperDrive?

    Will the Software Update to 10.4.7 install firmware upgrade for a SuperDrive?
    I have a Mac mini and I've just let the Software Update run as needed, but I am confused by the number of Apple update downloads listed.
    I don't believe I need them, when I just use Software Update?
    Seems like a simple question, but I was on Windows for the last 10 years.
    Thanks,

    Thank you!
    Message Edited by actihippo on 01-22-2009 10:08 PM

    It would help if you provide the firmware version currently on your DVD writer. Anyways, here is a link for firmware version 1.01.

  • Nomad Zen extra jukebox Firmware upgrade for Naps

    I am sure that this has been posted before however, I am very keen to find out when this upgrade is available for my 30G jokebox?

    This is the long-awaited Zen Xtra firmware upgrade; all current discussion about it is in the sticky at the top of this forum. (Per their policy, the moderators will eventually lock this thread in favor of the sticky.)
    SSR, the top poster on this board (and an expert on Creative players), has an email list on his own website for new Creative player downloads: http://www.stainlesssteelrat.net/njb.htm . Though it's not specific to any one player, you can be sure the Zen Xtra firmware upgrade for MTP/Janus (the technology behind Napster To Go) will be announced there when it's available. (And it works, too: I just got word of the new Audible firmware for my Zen Micro thru that list.)Message Edited by RBBrittain on 09-8-2005 04:07 PM
