Firmware upgrade required: A huge WRT54G IS the internet!

On South Park last night ... it was revealed that a giant Linksys WRT54G router IS the internet! Apparently though, this router needs a firmware upgrade because it had some blinky light issues (it had to be power cycled to get the internet working again.)
I demand to know: what is Cisco doing to address problems in this critical piece of our national infrastructure?
Cheers,

Have TC green light. It won't update firmware and I'm not coneected to the internet. I can, however, connect with ethernet direct to Imac

I have a grren light on TC but the firmware update fails because I'm not connected to the net. I have the ethernet cable from my Charter cable modem connected to TC and trying to connect automatically but it's not working. Can anyone help?

Have you performed a full modem reset on your device and network power cycle?
If not, please try the following:
Push the reset button on the modem and then power it off
Pull the battery if its easily accessible
Power down everything else on your network
Wait at least 15 minutes, 30 would be better, 60 even better.
Power up the modem first and let it run by itself for a few moments
Start the next device connected to the modem, probably your Time Capsule, the same way
Start each device the same way until all network devices are back up
If your modem is functioning corrrectly, and you have the TC configured correctly, you will be connected to the Internet.

Having upgraded to lion my imac drops the internet connect when not active

I have just upgraded to Lion and when I leave the computer unattended for a few minutes it drops its internet connection - therefore does not collect any email until I click on the Airport icon and reselect the network. Also when starting up the and automatically loading Firefox the home page shows the previous download.

I FINALLY SOLVED THIS ISSUE!!!!
New routers have "mixed" modes for your network; this means that it will automatically choose the best option between wireless-B, wireless-G and wireless-N network modes. I used to experience this issue using the 2.4 GHz. mixed mode wireless network.
Thankfully, my router can create 2 networks: a 2.4 GHz. network and a 5 GHz. network.
When I randomly changed this value to "use only wireless-B and wireless-G" trying to fix an issue with a wi-fi expander, the iMac wi-fi issue dissapeared! I tried it with wireless-N only, but it didn't work.
So, finally, I have a 2.4 GHz network with only wireless-B and wireless-G modes which works PERFECT with the iMac, and a 5 GHz. network with a mixed* wireless mode for everything else mode.
*PD: by "mixed" mode it means that the router will automatically choose between B, G and N network modes as it fits better.

While doing the most recent firmware upgrade, my iMac hung on the spinning ball. The instructions said "not" to turn off power during the process, so I don't know what to do. The ball is still spinning.

If you tried resetting the ipod and it still keeps having the same issue you described, try setting the ipod to disk mode.
Here is an article from the apple support website on setting the ipod to disk mode.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
If you can get the ipod into disk mode, connect it to the computer and rrestore the ipod using itunes.
if the ipod will not go into disk mode, you can return the ipod or set the ipod up for service via the apple ipod service depot.

SPA112 firmware upgrade from 1.0.1 to 1.2.1 kills the SPA

I took a brand-new, unconfigured SPA112 out of the box, plugged it into DHCP-enabled network, noted it was running v1.0.1 firmware and attempted a firmware upgrade to 1.2.1 via the web management utility.
After reporting a successful upgrade there was no further response from the SPA112 to HTTP requests, neither was there any response to pings. ARP requests are responded to successfully. The IVR works (as well as the IVR ever works) until I selected to perform a factory reboot at which point the IVR stopped responding as well. Holding the reset button for 20sec does nothing useful. It's dead, Jim.
I've had this experience on another SPA112 as well under similar circumstances although there is nothing in the Release Notes for v1.2.1 to say that such an upgrade does not work.
My questions:
1)Is there any way of recovering these devices or do I need to send them back to Cisco?
2) How am I supposed to perform such a firmware upgrade?

Hi Matthew,
I tried upgrading the firmware upgrade from v1.0.1 to v 1.2.1 and I had the same problem. The device just stopped responding. I tried that in a lab and I figured out what exactly to do when you get in to a problem like that. So lets start off once again.
Snce SPA112 must get an IP first through a DHCP on WAN port. Connect the SPA 112 device according to the instructins told in this article till the step 3.
http://www6.nohold.net/CiscoSB/Loginr.aspx?login=1&pid=4&app=search&vw=1&articleid=2775
Once you access the web GUI of SPA112 follow the contents of the following article and upgrade the firmware
http://www6.nohold.net/CiscoSB/Loginr.aspx?login=1&pid=4&app=search&vw=1&articleid=2676
In your case I believe the window got stucked at the point when it says "The upgrade is successful" and then there was no further response to HTTP requests.
Restart the device and see if it works or not. If it does not then log in to the router web GUI and navigate to the ARP table and see what are the VLAN assigned to the IP address.
NOTE: Both the router and SPA should be in the same VLAN. This way only the device will respond to the HTTP requests. If they are in a different VLAN's, navigate to the VLAN and disable the LAN memberships. For example there are two VLAN ID 1 and 100. Disable the LAN ports for the ID 100 and only enable it for 1.
Navigate to the ARP table again and refresh it. Both the IP addresses should be in the same VLAN. If yes. Access the SPA112 with an IP address assigned to it again and navigate to Administration > Firmware Upgrade. You will see the firmware of the device has been upgraded.
(optional) Upgrade the firmware again. This time, it will go through and the device will restart.
Let me know if you still need any help.

I have an ancient Zen...Need support with firmware updates/itunes use/drivers/idk what the heck e

I have a really really old Zen. It's full title is "Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra" or something of the sort. Recently I bought a ton of music off iTunes and realized I could not burn it to CDs and could not transfer it to my Creative using the software I'm currently using. And then, someone told me that there was a "pulg-in" that could be downloaded to transfer iTunes music to my Creative. (She also had the same player) Now the only problem is... I've never updated software for my Creative, never downloaded anyhting other than music to it. And I have no idea where to start. If anyone knows what I have to do... or where to start, please please please let me know. It would be really nice to get my music from iTunes to my Creative.
My specs - For the Creative Medai Source organizer I'm running the 2.02.06 version. And for the actual player I have no idea. Probably somethign similiar I'm pretty sure the player was bought in 2003... If someone tells me how to check the players verision I'll gladly do it.
Thanks for the help in advance.

Due to the age of the player, I imagine it's extremely unlikely that Creative will update software and firmware so that your player will work with newer OS. I fear the same thing happening to my Zen Touch - it's a great bit of kit, built like a tank, surperb sound quality, battery still lasts forever, but the latest PlaysForSure firmware upgrade is probably going to be the last and then my player will be obsolete. No company is going to support old products forever - how will they sell their latest products? This built-in lifespan of?many electronic devices is a sign of our consumer market I'm afraid.

Firmware upgrade in place?

I updated my G5 to Panther, 10.3.9, and I have downloaded the firmware upgrade for my early 2004 G5(the DDR RAM G5, not the DDR2).
Now when I go to update, I press the shut down button and it shuts down. Fine. Then I press the start button, and wait for the high tone, after which comes the startup chime. Fine. Then a prompt comes up, in which you have the option of typing in mac-boot, and pressing return, or shut-down, and return. Then it continues to boot up, if I put in mac-boot, and I log in. Then the screen appears once again to update the firmware. After having done this three times, I determined it must have been in place. So I just cancelled the screen. At that time, what appeared to me was that the firmware update had not been completed. This happened twice, after which I again attempted the update.
Now, is this something that happens regularly to people, and the firmware is all done in its update? Or what have I missed?
G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9) 2 Ghz AGP, 160 GB HD

Hello Daddy Paycheck,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, the G5 is booting up all right, and it works all right. You are right, I was not thinking about checking the profiler. I often do look at the profilers, but not now. The ROM is 5.1.8f5. The firmware uπ∂ate is 5.1.8f7. So I thought it was different, and that I had missed something. Actually, the hardware profiler just says 5.1.8, so it may have been updated, and I just have it in my head. For one thing, every time I run the update, it runs, but with no progress bar, and then the mac-boot/shut–down option comes, and then the screen again about running it, and ad infinitem. Well, after running it again, it says it is installed. But then that screen in the corner comes up again, and it says the update will not happen. It is quite irritating.
Well, I am just taking it as I was figuring before, that it is just installed, regardless of that cockamamey screen.

C5 still rebooting after firmware upgrade

I recently upgraded to 032.010, but turning on the radio makes the phone reboot just as it did prior to upgrading. I had a theory that only certain frequencies provoked this reaction, but now I've started experiencing it on frequencies which previously did not provoke a reboot. Anyone else having this problem? If you haven't used the radio yet but plan to, I suggest you try it ASAP, in case you experience the same issue as me and want to return your phone.

I forgot to mention that I've previously bought three C5's (from different shops, in case the problem was limited to one batch) and returned all of them because they all behaved this way. Bought the 4th (which has a different production code, so that can't be it either) when I saw there was a firmware upgrade available, hoping it would solve the problem, but it didn't. Now it even reboots on frequencies that did not provoke a reboot on the previous firmware, although I can't say for sure the upgrade is responsible. Anyway, this is definitely not a unit specific issue, it's the whole series that is faulty (or at least the Scandinavian model). Quite annoying, as I'm otherwise perfectly happy with the C5.

Download and Install RV180W Firmware Upgrade

I received a warning when I accessed the router site which indicated;
"Your connection is not private
Attackers might be trying to steal your information from 192.168.50.1 (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards)."
I have downloaded the firmware upgrade. However, when I execute the file, it executes a command to burn file to my DVD drive.
When allow the command to proceed, window returns the following;
"The selected disc image file isn't valid."
Any suggestions on how to proceed with upgrading the firmware.

Hi,
Please follow the procedure mentioned below to proceed with upgrading the firmware
Upgrading Firmware
Cisco RV180/RV180W Administration Guide
Upgrading Firmware
CAUTION During a firmware upgrade, do not try to go online, turn off the device, shut down
the PC, or interrupt the process in any way until the operation is complete. This
process takes about a minute, including the reboot process. Interrupting the
upgrade process at specific points when the flash is being written to may corrupt
the flash memory and render the router unusable.
You can upgrade to a newer firmware version from the Administration > Firmware
Upgrade page. To upgrade:
STEP 1 Click Browse, locate and select the downloaded firmware, and click Upload.
STEP 2 (Optional) Check the box to reset all configuration and settings to the default
values. Do not check this box if you want to keep any settings you have changed
on the router!
STEP 3 Click Start Firmware Upgrade. After the new firmware image is validated, the new
image is written to flash, and the router is automatically rebooted with the new
firmware. Choose Status > System Summary to make sure the router installed the
new firmware version.
And then to reboot it
To reboot the router, choose Administration > Reboot Router. Click Reboot.

Toshiba Stor.E tv 1TB PA4209E-1HJ0 SYSTEM FIRMWARE UPGRADE?

Hey
I just purchased a toshiba stor.E tv 1tb multimedia player but it doesn't support mkv video formats & others like rmvb
Is there any system firmware upgrade that i can flash into the bios?
If so pls provide me with the link to it ?
Note : i did not find it on the support page
But i have read that the Stor.E tv 2TB's support the video file formats i'm looking for.
Would it be possible to use the same firmware bios on the 1Tb ?
thanks & regards

hey there,
i just purchased the same hdd. my problem is: after some trys to make it compatible to my mac (i created two partitions - one fat32 and the other in mac-format) it didnt work any longer. i mean i dont have access to the data when i connect it to my tv. even after turning it back to the former status (one fat partition) its the same. i can see the screen, when i turn it on, but i dont have a menu to choose any file. setup is working as well...
so obviously its not possible to get any firmware or other support. does anyone have a solution? maybe a soft-/firmware i can use???
thanks,
stefan

WRT110 Firmware Upgrade Crashed IE8, Router Does Not Work

Last night, at 2:30am EST I felt the need to upgrade the firmware on my router. I downloaded the latest firmware for the WRT110 v1.0 and attempted to upgrade the firmware. Close to the end of the firmware upgrade process IE8 crashed and left my router in a state of limbo.
I called Linksys support only for them to tell me that I have 3 options (all which included paying money to them) :
Pay $40 to add 6 months of extended warranty to the router and support for it
Pay $30 for a one time support call
Buy a new router through them with waived shipping.
This wasn't exactly what I wanted to hear at 3 am, so naturally I was quite irritated. Of course, the supervisor asking me if I was sure I downloaded the correct firmware and telling me to go on the internet when it's obviously not working really did not help either.
I tried the two reset options suggested by the forums here and the supervisor on the phone, pressing down the reset button for 30 seconds and pressing it down for a minute and unplugging for 30 seconds. Neither worked, so the supervisor essentially told me the router needed to be replaced.
Now, is there any actual way of getting the router back to a working state?

There is always a way. Check this topic and follow the procedures.
