Firmware WRT54GS

Hello,
I have a WRT54GS router.
I am looking for new firmware but my version of the router (5.1) does not appear in the list.
Which firmware do I have to download?

Yes as you got the message Upgrade is successful .
Reset the router for 30 seconds .
Power cycle the  modem and router .
Open the Setup page of the Linksys router .
Configure the settings manually do not use the back up file .
See if that helps you .

  • Updated Firmware WRT54GS V7...Now Router "Not Supported"

    Hello all. Just bought a new WRT54GS V7. Set up per instructions and it worked flawlessly. Detected both wireless rigs without a problem, and wired rigs worked. Decided (as I always do) to upgrade the firmware to the latest update. Got the latest .bin file for version 7, etc. Followed update instructions to the letter, including pressing the reset button for 30 seconds. Now, when trying to set up the network again, I get to the point of EasyLink trying to find the router, and I get the message "Router not supported. Easylink Advisor is designed to set up Linksys networking products.....". I re-downloaded the file in case of corruption...three times actually. Repeated the entire process with each. Still same problem. Now, I know that pretty much everything, including this router, says not to update the firmware or bios unless you are having a problem. No, I wasn't having a problem, and I guess for the first time I should have paid attention. Any suggestions/solutions? Thanks in advance.

    Disable all firewall first on the computer ..... again download the .bin file from the website ....
    Save it on your computer .... access routers setup page & try to upgrade the firmware again ..... make sure that you are picking up the correct file ....
    After upgrade reset & reconfigure the router ....

  • Can't connect to internet after updating new Firmware wrt54g Help please!

    So i just updated my firmware on my wrt54g ver 2 router, went through all the steps it updated successfully after that i hit the reset button and unplugged the router as tehe online instructions said to. Now i can't connect to the interent at all with either of my two wired computers or through the wireless. All the lights on the front of the router are on like the power, internet, and wireless connectivity. Also the the two WAN ports my computers are connected to in the router the lights are on and it's recognising them. But I can't connect to the internet or even see the router on my network settings. Somone suggested to reconfigure the router but when i go to set up new connection my computer doesn't detect the router and also i cant connect to the router using the ip address 192.168.1.1/ since there is no internet connection. Is there a way to get to the router options or a way to revert it to its old firmware. Any help would be much appreciated. I should after updating the firmare the power button is contantly blinking.

    I am having the exact same problem..  I have the same router and same version as well.. I followed the directions and upgraded the firmware. it said update successfull and then I reset it and power cycled it to find that my network no longer works and I cannot access the router..I've looked through all the troubleshooting guides and they do not help..  It says if you can't access the web based page then to use the TFTP  utility to re-flash the router’s firmware but it seems it cannot make a connection to the router..  I've tried to ping it like it says to in the TFTP guide but it does not seem to be able to make a connection to the router..  I tried to access Management Mode to recover the router and resume the loading of the firmware upgrade but I can't get the Management Mode Firmware Upgrade page to open as well..  So what gives?  I followed the directions  but the only thing I seemed to accomplish was to brick my router..   Does anyone have a clue on how to go about fixing this problem?   Any help is appreciated.. 

  • Need to know how to rollback firmware - wrt54gs

    Hey as you've read i have the wrt54gs v6 firmware v. 1.52.2 and have been expieriencing these internet connect drops randomly so i'd like to rollback the firmware to the original 1.02.2. I've got the .bin file for the original firmware from the sticky posted in this forum but i've tried using the firmware upgrade routine and it told me "upgrade are failed!" so can some one plz tell me how to properly rollback the firmware?

    This router had new 1.52.5 firmware released on 3/3/08.  I would suggest you try the new firmware, rather than rolling back your firmware.
    If it will not load, use the tftp.exe program to load the new firmware.  Instructions for this are located at:

  • Problem updating firmware WRT54G v5 1.00.1 to 1.02.2

    Hi, I've been having an issue updating the firmware of my WRT54G v5 router to 1.02.2 ... the reason is because one of the previous firmwares solves some Bittorrent issues .. Anyway, I checked the tag and it reads v5 .. and the firmware is currently 1.00.1. I downloaded the right .bin file, I presume, which is 1.02.2.. when I choose 'Update Firmware' and select the .BIN file, I see about 1% of the progress bar light up and it immediately switches to a webpage reading 'The connection was reset. The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.' which seems to be a default (Firefox) error. Ofcourse, when I re-enter the web interface, it still reads '1.00.1' as current firmware... any ideas?

    Ow, never mind... I figured it... tried some more last night but I couldn't even save the Configuration (error which resembles the one described above). Made screenshots of the configuration, then did a hard reset.. then immediately tried the firmware update which succeeed flawlessly. I could also make a Configuration backup again!

  • Third party firmware wrt54gs v7

    is there third party firmware available for version 7 of the gs router?

    Read the wiki of dd-wrt. I find it contains a lot of useful information around these issues, e.g. how to recover from a bad flash etc...
    But generally, once the router is really dead there is nothing you can do...

  • I can't configure wrt54g v5

    Just reset the router for 30secs and go to www.linksys.com/easy to have your router configured again..just download easylink connect and save it....run the tool that you have saved and that will automatically configure your router.

  • Access Restrictions

    I just upgraded my firmware for my router to the lates and my access restictions no longer function like they did under my old firmware (wrt54g v2.2)
    currently I have my access restrictions set up like this
    1 allow ip:100 24/7
    2 allow ip:101 24/7 with keyword restrictions and web sites blocked
    3 allow ip:101 24/7 with keyword restrictions and web sites blocked
    problem is ip:101 cannot connect to any website even those who donot match keywords or specificly blocked websites
    so I tried:
    1 allow ip:100 24/7
    2 allow ip:101 24/7
    3 allow ip:101 24/7 with keyword restrictions and web sites blocked
    4 allow ip:101 24/7 with keyword restrictions and web sites blocked
    ip:101 now has full unresrticted access
    so I tried:
    1 disabled
    2 disabled
    3 allow ip:101 24/7 with keyword restrictions and web sites blocked
    4 allow ip:101 24/7 with keyword restrictions and web sites blocked
    both 100/101 cannot connect
    I set up the restrictions the way I was told to ... premissions before denys... I can't figure out why it's not working or how to get the access resctictions to work properly again... and of course I cant seem to get my old firmware back....so how do I set my access restrictions so ip 100 has full access and ip 101 is restricted from the websites I want and the keywords?

    What is going on and why is Linksys not fixing this problem?? I was told to buy the WRT54GL model and that everything would be great with Access Restrictions. But much to my disappointment, it is the same problem as my other model. It actually worked when I first powered up the Router and entered the restriction (I am doing a VERY simple restriction of myspace.com) but after about an hour or so, the whole access restriction thing seemed to be ignored, no matter how many times I deleted the rule and re-entered it. Why can't they fix this!!!???

  • ** Web Utility Help! **

    I've been trying to access the Linksys Web Based Utilty to upgrade my Wireless Router's Firmware (WRT54GS v.2.0) But each time I try, nothing comes up.
    I enter the router's default IP Address  into my internet browser (192.168.1.1) and then the password request page will come up.  I leave the user name blank just as it suggests, and enter "admin" as the default password, then I click OK...Nothing happens except the password request page coming up again.  I don't understand why this is happening.
    Also, If I hit cancel on the password request page, it will take me to a web-page saying: "401 Unauthorized Authorization required"
    I am using IE 6 as my Internet browser.  I have already tried connecting to the Web Based Utility on both of my computers and the results are the same...
    If you know anything that could help, PLEASE suggest so that I may overcome this problem...Thank you, I appreciate it.

    Nevermind, I have figured the problem out myself.  Seems I had to manually set a password for the router in the first place...

  • WRT54G firmware failure leaving no access to router config

    I have a WRT54G router.  Running Vista SP2 64-bit on a laptop wired to router.  When I first tried to upgrade the firmware I was connected wirelessly.  (I know, please just think it but don't type it)  During the upgrade the internet connection disconnected and the upgrade failed.  I am connecting right now wirelessly using someones unsecure network.  I attempted to upgrade the firmware to 8.00.7.  Since then I am unable to access the router config using IP 192.168.1.1.  I have read as many posts as I can handle.  I have checked and that is the IP showing in Vista, (Network & Sharing, view status, properties) however I cannot ping that IP.  It times out every time.  I have done all the resets (10 seconds and up to 1 minute) on the router and power cycle etc.  Nothing.  I downloaded the firmware utility and I get an error message everytime that it is unable to get responses from the server.  I have tried my password, which I think is gone due to all the resets, and am using admin as the password.  I have disabled my firewall.  I do have Network Magic and when I checked control internet access it says I am able to do so.  Is there a way to disable Network Magic?  Can that be the issue?  When all this started I had my own internet connetion.  I'm in the process of moving so I have disconnected my internet service.  Since I'm only trying to connect to the router locally, do I really need to have a live internet connection?  Please, HELP!  I don't want to buy a new router.  This one has been very reliable.  If I do have to buy something new, can you recommend something just as reliable. 
    There have been 2 or 3 times where it looked as though I was going to be able to connect to config interface and the firsrt basic screen loads with minimal data and no clickable links to allow me to change screens.  The "&" from one of the links that is supposed to appear but does not,  is the only thing that appears in that area and if I click it, I either get a error from IE that it cannot connect, or, it takes me to the Ports screen with minimal data and I cannot progress from there.  In the top right corner of the screen, it does show the firmware version is 8.00.7.  ?????
    P.S.  Obviously, I'm not very computer savvy so excuse me if I'm missing the obvious.

  • Firmware Upgrade for WRT54G

    I have download latest firmware Version 8, I completed the firmware upgrade successfully, however on the router page right on the top it still show the earlier
    version 1.02.
    How do I checked whether I upgraded to Version 8. I have followed the firmware upgrade procedure and try the next lower version 6 but still show Version 1.02.
    Is my router faulty, as it revert back to factory default after 1 month of new router
    configuration.
    Cheers!
    Raymond Chang

    On the tag all it means is that you have the version 5 of that router.  Linksys will make them diferently (different chips etc.. etc..).  Now the firmware version is the version of (software) installed on the chip in the router.  If you tag says you have a version 5 you need to install the firmware for a version 5 router.  The latest firmware is version 1.02.2 which came out 7/02/2007 for the version 5 router.
    Here is a link to the WRT54G v.5 router.

  • WRT54GS v2.1 Firmware upgraded and wireless will not work

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a WRT54GS v2.1 wireless g broadband router. I updated the firmware WRT54GSv3_4.71.4.001_fw.bin since that was what the linksys website said i needed. After updating the firmware on the router, my two laptops can see the router but are not able to connect to it. If I connect through the ethernet cord, then I can get online and access the admin page of the router. I have no clue if a setting got messed up or the firmware caused it to go nuts. Please let me know if someone knows anything. 
    Thanks
    Delta

    After you upgrade the firmware you are to reset the router by pressing the reset switch in back for 30 seconds.  When done, power cycle the router.  Now you must reconfigure the routers wireless settings as they are all gone.  Make sure the security settings on the router match your wireless settings.
    Go here for help.

  • WRT54G / upgraded firmware, unable to access across subnets

    Hi,
    I have a network with 10 WRT54G (v6) 's.  Recently I upgraded the firmware on two units from 1.00.7 to the latest 1.02.2 and am experiencing some network wierdness.
    The wireless routers are connected via the LAN port to a linux router which is a firewall/bridge between subnets 10.1.3.x & 10.1.1.x.  I have rules in place to allow my workstation to http to the 10 routers and disallow everything else.  All of this is logged.
    I cannot from my workstation (10.1.1.x) access the web interface on the two units I upgraded the firmware on 10.1.3.x).  I can still access the web interface on the remaining units (10.1.3.x)
    I can however access the web interface from the same subnet to the newly upgraded units.
    I can see from the firewall log that the packet is making it out correctly and tcpdump verifies this.
    Does anybody have a clue what is going on.  I feel like it would be best to return to the previous firmware, but where do I find it???
    Thanks,
    Lee

    Hi Lee,
    logon to ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pub/network/ and download the previous firmware version and try downgrading the firmware...
