I (mistakenly) updated firmware of my WRT54G Ver 1 with firmware V 7. The router is still working fine but now I have this problem: when I open the router for setting, the menu is unreadable and I cannot acces the menu. How can I repair it, or how to rollback? Thanks for anyone who can help.

Read the support articles for your router. Look for the article regarding a "blinking power light". It describes how to flash your router through tftp instead of the web interface. Follow the instructions and load the correct firmware with tftp to the router.

WRT54G Ver 7 with P2P application

I searched over the Internet for a long time and found that the following facts (problems) on WRT54G Ver 7 with P2P application:
1. No maximum connection port can be configured from the factory firmware.
2. Router hang when maximum connection port reached.
2. No custom firmware like DD-WRT or Tomato can be used in Ver 7.
3. No available official firmware update yet.
Conclusion: Nothing can be done except giving up those applications.
Please correct me if any wrong

Nevermind. I found the upgrade from local Linksys website:
which fixes the above problems.

hi,
i have had to replace my WRT54G ver#3, with Same model Ver#8. i set up both my desktop and laptop no problems. Got both up and running just fine. However reconnecting with my ITOUCH is another issue. No matter what i have done, including resetting router a second time did not work. I even took it to the Apple store and it connected there no problem. Anyone have any suggestions on what the settings should be. I have the print out of all my network settings available to me.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
Linda

If you are online with wireless laptop connecting to your own network ..... I don't think that it is an issue related to router .....
Check the settings in the I-Touch it self...... configure it according to the settings in the router ....
See if it shows connected ....

Step by step complete setup for WRT54G ver.6 with Laptop and XBOX 360

Hello. I am sorry to post this, I am sure it is a juevenile and redundent question...but I have tried to look for the set up cd (I can find where to download it...though I can find the firmware upgrade or whatever). My friend at work said it would do all the setup pretty much automatically for me.
I somewhat know computers, but you might go ahead and make your replies VERY lamen's terms or I might not be able to follow. Anyways, what I need, is a step by step/screen by screen directions for a secure network. I have made a partial attempt at setting it up and it technically works, but I would feel better if I did the steps a-z in order, so I know that it is done correctly. I also am not totally confident in its security as it is now. (Also, technically, I did not check the XBOX again after getting the new laptop, I am just assuming it is still working because it was before).
My problem is I can't seem to find very good directions for setting up the router...I only find partials or confusing directions.
So here are the things I am trying to connect:
Liksys WRT54G ver. 6
Gateway Laptop running Windows Vista
XBOX 360 - WIRED
(I had a PC and a laptop, but they both died at the same time and I have only been able to replace the laptop at this point...the PC will come later and not sure at this point if it will be Wired or not).
I have a cable Modem between the Router and the wall...I didn't look at that for brand/etc...but I can get it ASAP if needed.
Here are the settings that I have so far:
Changed the Router Name
Changed the SSID
Have DHCP set to 3 (XBOX, PC, Laptop)
Wireless SSID Broadcast: Disable
Username and Password changed to my own info
UPnP: Enable
I may have changed other things without knowing it. So like I said, a complete, step by step screen by screen set up would be totally appreciated. I haven't done anything in the security tab, all that is totally foreign to me, so I am just not broadcasting for now until I can get some help setting things up with you guys.
And if someone is familiar with the Laptop/XBOX 360 setup, and I need to change any of the settings on the XBOX itself, could you please include that in your directions? I know that isn't technically what THIS forum is for, but it would sure be helpful to me if you happen to know both parts anyways.
Thanks a lot (in advance)!

So all you just need to do is, secure your Wireless Network. Follow the setps bellow and change the settings on your Router.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select TKIP...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

WRT54G Ver 6 Issues

Hi
I hope this helps people. I am extremely disappointed with Linksys support. I have talked to at least 6 support people for a least 1 hour each without a resolution to a simple problem. My problem is that I can not get onto the internet with my access points(WAP54G .ver 3.1)using WPA security with WRT54GS ver 3. I decided to do my own testing since Linksys did not. I configured my WRTGS with no security. I used my ssid, channel, broadcast ssid turned on. I configured my WAP54G exactly the same. I was able to ping the WAP54G with no problem. My next test was to test WEP security. The only changes I made were the exncryption to 128 bit with a code on both the WRT54GS and WAP54G. I was able to ping it with no problem. Since I needed more security for my house since the houses are almost right on top of each other, with many people using wireless in their homes, I changed my security to WPA Personal. I changed the code and of course saved all of the changes, like I did previously. I tried to ping the the WAP54G. I couldn't ping it to save my life. I figured that the hardware was up to date on the WRT54GS ver 3 so I purchased a new WRT54G ver 6 router thinking that this will support WPA Personal. (I already knew that WPA Personall worked on that Router with version 1.01 of the firmware.)
I noticed on the Linksys website that there was a new firmware for the router which is version 1.02. I had to update the firmware on my router since the version that was on it was 1.00.52. My firware is now 1.02. I started the same tests I performed on the WRT54GS ver 3. I turned off security on both the WAP54G & WRT54G. I tried to ping the WAP54G. I could not do it. Now I know the WAP54G worked because I proved it earlier. I reported the problem to Linksys and asked to talk to a supervisor. I never received a call back from her. This is the lousiest support I have ever expereinced. I explained to tech support that the WAP54G's are no use to me since I can't talk to them with this router using WPA security or anything else. It was extremely frustrating dealing with their technical support. This is suppose to be a simple setup that should take about 5-10 minutes. Instead it has cost me days of calling them and many hours, trying to figure why it did not work with absolutely no help from them. Does anyone have any good suggestions?
I would like to get a hold of firmware 1.01 because I know that works. Thanks
Scot

Hi,
This is an update to my first post. I was correct that ver 1.02 of the firmware for the WRT54G ver 6 of the router has some problems with it. It does not allow you to use WPA encryption. Version 1.01 of the firmware does allow you to use the WPA encryption. Hopefully Linksys will fix this problem. I will continue to use 1.01 until this is fixed.

Update firmware on N 95

I did update firmware to V.11.0.026 with no problems. I use Nokia PC Suit, just like it said in manual.
Today I try to update firmware to V.12.0.0.13, but didnt work.
PC Suit or firmware updater said, which version I have and which is new one. There are 3 steps and N95 is always frozen at third step. After a while it said, that I have to remove cable and battery, insert battery and restart gsm. Then, I can continue or cancel. Whatever I do, there is no result.
I dont know what to do. I did close NOD32, I did remove memory card, I did close all aplication on N 95 and now I have no idea.
Pls, help.

Hi rogi69si
I might have tried un-installing Nokia Software Updater, reboot your PC and install again.

WRT54G Ver 1.1 Firmware Upgrade

I was experiencing some connection problems that were causing me to cycle the power on my router a few times a week. I decided to upgrade the firmware to 4.21.1 hoping to resolve this issue. The firmware upgrade completed and all configuration settings were put back as I had before the upgrade.
Since the update, I cannot connect to the internet through my DSL when connecting through the router. I can connect to the internet when my computer is directly connected to the modem. I called Linksys and I was told to reset the router three times. Had no results.
Can anyone help me out with this? Or is there a place where I can download the old firmware that I originally had?
I have a WRT54G ver 1.1 and Bellsouth DSL
Thanks
(Edited post for guideline compliance. Thanks!)
Message Edited by JOHNDOE_06 on 11-20-2007 08:55 AM

--Update--
I solved the problem. The Bellsouth DSL modem is in bridge mode after it is either reset (hard button) or configured via the web utility.
WITHOUT connecting the router to the modem, configure the router to be PPPoE insted of DHCP. If the router is connected to the modem while still in DHCP mode, the modem will assume the router is a computer. This will kick the modem out of bridge mode.
So the steps to solve the problem are:
1) Disconnect ethernet between router and modem.
2) Reset modem / put in bridge mode.
3) Connect to router via web utility and configure PPPoE settings.
4) Connect router and DSL modem via ethernet cable.
(Mod Note: Edited due to non-compliance of forum guidelines.)

Problems getting My WRT54G ver.6 goin, aswell as firmware issues??

Im having a lot of problems, it all started when i lost my installation CD for my WRT54G router. Im trying to set it up the router manualy from my knowledge but its not working. So all im missing is the install CD i have everything else. The computer im on now has the WRT54G hooked up the proper way...the only way im on the internet is through a USB connection for my DSL if i unhook it i lose internet, is this an issue for me trying to get it hooked up? Now on the computer that is gonna connect wirelessly i have a WUSB11 ver 2.8, everything on that is up to date and ready to go, drivers are good from my knowledge the firmware is up to date...now i cant connect to the net on that one but i can load up firmware and change settings and it shows that i can connect to the WRT54G router but its protected so i cannot connect. Im sorry if im rambing anyways the main problems im having are trying to get this router connect through my dsl modem...the only lights on at the moment are power,wlan and port 1. I cannont load up 192.168.1.1 to change settings and i have no clue if i need the updated firmware to be able to load up 192.168.1.1......any help would be appreciated

Hi… I think you should first disconnect the USB connection. Then Reset the router, and power cycle the network, if still could not login to 192.168.1.1, turn off the modem and try again. If you succeed just change the LAN IP to 192.168.2.1, Power Cycle the network you should be online again. Login to 192.168.2.1, Setup wireless SSID and WEP key, and connect to this wireless network, you should be online. If not change the connection type to PPPoE and you should get an IP address on the status page of the router. Once you get an IP address, you get internet connection.

WRT54G ver.7 firmware

I have WRT54G ver.7 router.
On settings page for this router, tab status I can read:
Firmware Version: v7.00.1, May. 4, 2006
When I want to check for firmware updates for ver.7 I cannot find it, there are ver.6 and ver.8 but no version 7, where I can find ver.7?
Thanks in advance.

First, be sure to pick the linksys site for your country. Not all hardware versions are available in all countries. I think the v7 firmware is available for the UK.
Otherwise, if there is no firmware posted on the downloads page of linksys there is no firmware update available, yet.

Can't update firmware on WRT54G

I downloaded new firmware for my WRT54G. It currently has Firmaware version 1.00.60. The router was purchased at Best Buy for use with Vonage but I no longer use the phone part of the router.
I downloaded the latest firmware from the Linksys site (4.30.5), both the zip file and the EXE. Whenever I try to use the EXE file, it tells me it can't get a response from the server. I've tried resetting the login information to leave the username blank (I had set my own username) but the router says this filed cannot be left blank.
I tried to use the bin file but the instructions say to go to Administration and select the upgrade firmware option. There is no such option in my router. Is there any other way to force a firmware update?
Thanks for any ideas you might have.

Thanks for the pointers so far.
I just realized I gave the wrong product name before. I have a WRTP54G router set up for Vonage. I downloaded the firmware update for it, but the instructions say to use the GUI to load wrtp54g_fw_3.1.17_us.img. The router does not have an option to update the firmware in the Administration section. Do you know if the *.img file can also be loaded using ftp, just like the *.bin files for the WRT54G router?
If so, will I be "unlocking" the router from Vonage? I don't even have their service anymore - they weren't able to transfer my phone nuimber in over 60 days that I tried them. I'm not sure what I will be losing if I use a generic firmware with a unit that seems to be set up for a particular vendor.

WRT54G Ver 2.0 - No firmware download available

Hi all,
I was able to find all versions of firmware for my router's model number (WRT54G Ver 1.0 to 8.2), except for Ver. 2.0, which I have.
Any advice welcome.

Well the firmware version that you are looking for WRT54G v2 can be downloaded from the linksys/Cisco website or from the following link: http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/routers/WRT54G . Since the firmware version from WRT54G v1 till WRT54G v4 are same so you can download the firmware for any version between v1 to v4.
