Firmware upgrade times out (BEFW11S4 v4)
Hi, my firmware upgrade times out everytime and i've read that the only way to get past this is by flash-upgrading the router through this web address ftp.linksys.com/pub/network but the link doesn't work for me and says '550 failed to change directory'. Is there another link i can try or another solution?

Download Firmware 314 KB...
Download TFTP Utility...
After downloading the Firmware rename the file(like - befw11s4)...
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Double click the TFTP.exe file and click run.
For Server- Enter the IP Address of the router that you assigned. By default, the router is 192.168.1.1...
For Password- Enter the password you assigned the router. By default, the router’s password is “admin”.
For File- Click the triple “…” button and browse for the .bin firmware file...
Click Upgrade button to start upgrading. A progress bar should show up to show the progress.
Once the Upgrade is done 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...

BEFW11S4 v.4 and Vista - firmware upgrade failures
Hello
I have had this router for about 5 years, running it with XP with no problems. Ever since I got a new laptop with Vista, the wireless connects for an hour or so and then drops out and I have to unplug the router for five seconds and re-plug in order to reconnect (my other laptop with XP doesn't have this problem).
I understand that there are compatibility issues between the BEFW11S4 v. 4 and Vista so I tried to upgrade the firmware from linksys.com and kept getting a failed message. I hard rebooted the router but holding in the restart button for 30 seconds, and the upgrade still failed. So I re-set the factory settings through the router's online admin function, re-downloaded the upgrade and still got the failed emssage (I am certain that the model & version number is correct and I'm downloading the correct firmware upgrade).
Is there anything else I can do other than a) buy a new router; b) live with teh drop-outs; c) remove Vista and go back to XP?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.If you have any Firewall or Antivirus installed on your computer, you can disable it and after this try upgrading the firmware of your router. It if still dosent work then you can try it from some other computer and try it again.If it still the same problem then i think you can Press and hold the reset button for 1 minute...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 1 minute and re-connect the power cable...Now again you can try upgrading the firmware of your router.

After upgrading to mountain lion, my ip camera video feeds time out
I've been using my iMacs for a few years to monitor six ip Camera video feeds. The cameras I use are both FOSCAM and AXIS brands. I've used a few third party software solutions to do the monitoring, but I could also always use Safari to access a camera at a time by putting that camera's IP address in the address field and logging into the camera.
After upgrading to Mountain Lion, my video feeds started timing out when using DComplex's IP Camera Viewer, so I thought initially it was strictly an issue with that third party app. However, I then logged into my cameras using Safari and they timed out as well. Similarly, when using Axis Camera viewer, my video feeds would time out. It seems as whatever the issue, it does not affect Firefox, because I can still login and monitor 1 feed at a time using that browser without any timeout issues, and for some odd reason, the FOSCAM only program uFoscam works, but the problem for me with that app is that it only works with Foscam, and not the Axis cameras (besides it's an inferior program to IP Camera Viewer in my opinion as well).
Has anyone encountered this problem and come up with a solution? I'm thinking it's some sort of plugin or video codec problem, but it's well above my paygrade to figure it out.I'm having the same problem with both my Vivotek wired network camera and Panasonic wireless network cameras. At first I thought this was an issue with the video framework in Mountain Lion, but if Firefox is working (I haven't tried it yet), it sounds like it may be an objective-c video library that has been changed. It's possible Firefox is using an objective-c interface that calls an objective-c function that isn't called by Safari or IP Camera Viewer, etc., (possibly a function that is on its way to be deprecated) or Firefox could use it's own library that directly calls the video framework.
Could be the Mountain Lion objective-c framework has a buffering issue.
Since this is occuring in both 3rd party software and Apple software, it sounds like it's an Apple issue. 3rd party applications typically utilize the Apple Developer objective-c frameworks to access video frameworks/libraries (for example, MJPEG). Thus, contacting 3rd party developers may not solve the situation (unless they can figure out a temporary bandaid--possibly figuring out the video framework call that Firefox uses and patching their software to do the same (not a simple task), but could still provide more feedback to Apple via their developer status.
Has anyone attempted to record from their cameras via iMovie or Final Cut Pro X HD? I will try mine later tonight to see if it records the hanging. If it does, then it's looking more and more like Apple's the culprit.
My suggestion is for everyone to file a bug report via http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html -
Time-out problems with RV320 (after upgrade from RV042)
config:
dual wan
WAN1: 4G router (DHCP) - approx 25Mbit/ 8Mbit
WAN2: PPOE (DSL) - 1 Mbit/ 0.2 Mbit
worked with a RV042 before and upgraded to a RV320 now.
all other things are unchanged.
3 problems - 2 solved/ not critical - one still open:
a) not critical: DHCP Status does not include all devices (changing view - but all-time problem)
I would suspect a software bug.... DHCP itself works perfectly/ IPs are assigned (just not shown in status)
b) solved (at least for now): internet connection featured time-outs; after many tries, disabling the SPI in the firewall helped
btw: this only happend for the WAN1 - WAN2 worked (or is that slow that the additonal wait time did not matter ;-)
c) very annoying: exchange connection (from Outlook client to external exchange) still has time-outs (mostly the whole mail client hangs/ ends to be restarted).
As soon as I disable WAN1, it works! But it´s not the LTE WAN itself - switching back to the RV042 does not show the same symptom.
I tried: include IP into local DNS (in general I work with google DNS servers - but changing that does not help either), opening all traffic for teh realevant IPs and disabling the firewall completely. no positive results....
thanks for any hints....I agree with you on a, probably a bug of some sort.
b is an issue I've seen before, and even on similar bandwidth (25/5) on my rv016. What was able to figure out is that the carrier (ISP) is sending about 4k/sec of ICMP packets to the router, which in turn makes the router think it's under attack so it drops the connection. As you can tell, disabling the SPI helps. For me, putting another router in front of my rv016 (on 2 of 3 wans) was my only 'permanent' solution.
c sounds like there's a protocol binding/static route in the rv042 that you need to add to the rv320. I'd check that first.

Itunes update to firmware fails, because connection times out.
I have been unsuccessfully attempting to update my iphone 3gs and ipad to iOS 5 for over a month now. I have spent many, many hours on this, and many phone calls to apple support. I disable Norton 360, and windows firewall, and my firewall on my router. I've tried updating my router's firmware, which bricked the router--thanks apple for insisting this was the problem, and I have replaced the router, with a new one. Itunes diagnostics gives me the following information. I am using itunes as the administrator in Windows 7, 64 bit, although itunes doesn't recognize it, unless I reinstall it as the administrator, but then once I restart the computer, itunes no longer recognizes that I using Windows as an admin.
Also, the firmware cannot update, because the connection times out, despite all my firewalls, and antivirus being turned off.
I've tried downloading iOS 5 and then updating using restore, but that didn't work. I've poured through support forums, and error codes: I get 1611, etc. Cannot seem to resolve this.
Any ideas?

I am done with this project so I won't get too detailed...
Just a few comments. The solution below works if you have 8.01 or so on the controller to start with.
But when I upgraded the controller to 8.5.1 0r 8.6, or reinstalled from scratch, this file was upgraded by itself
and when I tried to execute the RT application in interactive mode, the same thing happened which was
in the final analysis very annoying.
I simply had to replaced the new version from 8.5.1 of this file with the old version from 8.01 which is quite small.
So to me, this is a bug !
Perhaps caused by an interdependency play between many libraries in my application; but never the less a bug to be fixed.

Befw11s4 v2 firmware upgrade using mac os x?
How might I upgrade the firmware on a linksys befw11s4 v2 wireless router using mac os x?
Thanks,
HarryThiis an old thread, but maybe the next person will see this:
It is not necesary to extract the .bin file on a Mac to upgrade your firmware. Just browse to the .bin file where you downloaded it to begin the firmware upgrade.

Podcast synchs time out since I upgraded to 7.0.2
I have a 5th Gen IPOD Touch, and recently upgraded it and my ITUNES account to the latest software. Since then, my podcasts won't synch, or if they do (some do, some don't, sometimes it just times out) they show an error message when I try to play them. I have the Cloud turned on, and usually synch to 4 podcasts every day. My PC is a Windows 7 Professional package with all updates current.
You can get the Filterstorm app. Use it to resize your pics to 2048 x 1536 (retina display resolution). It will then fit the screen without further adjustment.

Thankswhat are your firewall settings like? sometimes this can cause problems when downloading upgrades, try switching it off while you download (might want to try the same with your anti-virus software).

Time Capsule firmware upgrade interfering with VPN connection?
I regularly connect to our corporate VPN with my (corporate, non-Apple) laptop through wi-fi through our Time Capsule. I think that the recent firmware upgrade to the Time Capsule has made it impossible for me to connect to the VPN. My IT department suggests that the upgrade may have tightened a security setting that is preventing the VPN connection. Is this something others have experienced? Is there anything to do about it? (At the moment, I am connecting to the VPN through my iPhone as a hotspot, but I'll use up my data allowance if I keep doing that.)
Yes, it is common.. Apple only bother to check their software requirements.. not everybody elses.
VPN in particular seems to suffer from being killed off on about every second firmware revision. Woopss forget about that..
Is there anything to do about it?
Absolutely.. take your TC back to the last firmware that worked.. a Gen1 I would strongly recommend 7.5.2 but 7.6.1 is not bad.. avoid the rest.
Downgrade firmware is easy in v6 utiity.
Click on the version number with the option key held down.. lo and behold.. all the old versions will appear .. pick a goodun and it will proceed to downgrade that is an upgrade in functionality.. at least as far as your VPN is concerned.. very little else is going to be affected.
V6 utility does allow you to turn off checking for updates .. I just found it.
On the top menu area open preferences for airport utility..
Uncheck the first two items.. check for updates and check for updates weekly.
Do not even dream that this will stop it complaining about updates.. because it will still manage to complain.. but less often.. and you MUST ignore it.. for your own good.
Are you sure your port forwarding is still functional and is the laptop or whatever you are using getting the right IP. If IP changes the VPN will no longer work.. but I think port forwarding has become more problematic as v6 utility has made it harder.
Sometimes as part of this process you should also factory reset.. old firmware or new firmware and redo the port forwards again.
It is also much easier to simply use a router that understands vpn.
