Linksys Router firmwares

I was curious what the new Linksys firmwares are based on?
The E8350 looks like the old fimrware UI you would find in WRT54G Series, is it Linux or VxWorks based?
And what is Linksyssmartwifi bases on? still VxWorks but with a new UI?
Cheers,
Chiftin

Can't speak for all of em... but this sysinfo.cgi output of a WTR1900AC would suggest it's based on Linux
Vendor: LINKSYS

  • Linksys Router Firmware Upgrade ?

    Just got my new iPad on Monday. Been trying to get it to work with my wireless network. Several conversations with At&T and Apple support and it was determined that I needed to upgrade my Linksys, BEFW11S4 Router. Just completed that process. The "code.bin" was very interesting...Still not working. My iPad sees the internet, but does not connect. In reading some of the posts, I don't see any switching from 'g' instead of 'b/g' in my Linksys set up. Don't see the QoS or the WMM setting. Anyone have any ideas. At this point, I'm going to just go buy a new router.

    Thanks for you msg.
    My IP does begin with a 169. I say that my iPad is seeing the internet because of the wavy lines next to the iPad logo in the upper left hand corner. That's what an Apple Support person told me. I've taken the iPad to an Apple store and it works fine, so I'm confident there is nothing wrong with the iPad unless I've screwed up some setting. I have Renewed the Lease a number of times. I've got an AT&T 2Wire modem/router that I'm debating on installing. It shouldn't be that big of deal, but you never know. Anyway, thinking the new router will have the latest and greatest firmware.

  • Help! Have a Linksys Router WRVS4400N, Ipad and Desktop doesn't get internet at same time. Just one of the other. How do I internet on both? Thx!

    HELP! How do I get wireless internet on both my Ipad and Desktop? Have Linksys Router WRVS4400N. Only 1 device will work at 1 time. Something about a Learn MAC address? What should I do? Thanks! Tiggergirl

    Good morning
    Hi Kathy,  my name is Johnnatan and I am part of the Small business Support community.
    If you have an old firmware it would be a good idea to go out to Cisco.com and see if there is any firmware updates. I have looked on the site for you and I see the latest firmware is:2.0.2.1
    http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/release.html?mdfid=282414016&softwareid=282487380&release=2.0.1.3&rellifecycle=&relind=AVAILABLE&reltype=all
    You can also try to reset your device to its factory settings, to reset your router please take a object that has a point and hold the reset button in on the back for "atleast" 30 seconds until the lights on the front to start flashing.
    About Mac address, you can map a Static IP with a specific mac address, You can folllow these steps in order to configure it.

  • 17" mbp no longer sees a 802.11a Linksys router...

    I have one of the early 17" MBP. It used to work with a old 802.11a (Linksys) router. Lately it doesn't see the router at all. I've reset the router and another Windows machine can see it fine. I didn't do anything funny other than apply patches and firmware upgrades. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks
    Macbook Pro 17"   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Maybe its helpful you to know that the 802.11a standard wasn't totally supported by Apple at the begining (read http://www.appleinsider.com/article.php?id=1465) so probably those patches did change something.
    Have you tried different frequencies on the router?

  • Linksys router no longer works with Westell 6100 modem

    Hi all,
    I came back after a 3 month work absence (and many days power outages, according to the neighbors), to find that my system can no longer connect to the internet using the Verizon Westell 6100 modem to a Linksys wrt54G router to 2 PCs!
    I reset the Westell modem and directly connected the PC to it and THAT works okay, but put the router back in the mix (so I can connect my other PC) and nothing works!
    I have read on this forum about 'Bridgeing" the Westell modem but nothing about setting up the router.
    Can someone PLEASE give me explicit instructions on how to:
        1.)  set up the Westell modem in this "Bridge" mode,
        2.)  Set up the Linksys router to work with the modem again??
        3.)  Tell me why the old setup no longer works, did verizon change something for this modem?
    Thank you VERY much for your help in this matter!

    the router has two connections.  one is called a WAN and that is a wide area network, and it means the internet in your case.  and one is called a LAN, local area network.  
    what you saw means - that the way you connect to your internet is through PPPoE, a username and a password. 
    and then way your LAN connects is DHCP,  how all of your local computers connect.  This is important, because after you bridge the westell, you will be setting your Linksys up for PPPoE connection, and NOT DHCP.      if you don't do this step, then you will never connect.  
    that is fine, and normal.  if you follow the instructions at the link provided - you will be able to connect real easily.   
    you will want to bridge the westell just follow the instructions for "If your Westell uses the red and black Verizon firmware:"

  • Airport will not connect to Linksys router after iDisk sync force quit

    Hi,
    Hoping someone can help me here, kinda at my wits end.
    A week ago I was video ichatting and restarted my MacBook because the video feed was sluggish. I thought a restart would help.
    Unknown to me was that my iDisk was syncing. I recieved an warning dialogue box and was given the option of canceling the restart or force quitting the iDisk sync. I choose to force quit and proceed with the restart. After choosing to continue with the force quit I received an error message, it had the phrase "Mirror Agent" in it, and then my MacPro restarted.
    Since that first restart, I have not been able to connect, using Airport, to my Linksys Wireless router (model # WRT54 GX4).
    This is where it gets strange. Airport sees the router, displays a signal strength, shows up on my list of perfered networks...it displays all of the signs of a fully connected router but when I try to access the web, check mail or use iChat I cannot because Safari, Mail and iChat tell me that I am not connected to the internet.
    When I ran the network dianogistic tool, it first asked me why I would want to run it because it thought I was already connected. After running the tool it still came back with the same results, I was connect to the internet. But I still couldn't launch Safari, it just hung.
    This is where it gets really wierd. My wife, she's on a HP, can connect, using her built-in wireless card. Even after changing the Firmware on the Linksys router, her pc can still connect.
    And here's the icing on the cake. There are some unprotected wireless networks on my street. I can connected to those but not my own! Something has to be blocking the signal between my AirPort card and the Linksys router. Does that make sense?
    And if there is one saving grace to all of this, I still can connect to the web using the built-in Ethernet.
    Here's what I have tried:
    Removed Perfered Network, restarted MAC, added network back, still no connectivity.
    Removed security (was using WPA/WPA2) from the router still no connectivity.
    Removed Airport Keychain, restarted MAC, added router back, still no connectivity.
    Repaired the permissions on my HD, someone at work told me to try that, still no connectivity.
    Updated firmware to Linksys router to version 1.00.20, no connectivity.
    Rebooted Linksys router and cable modem, still no connectivity.
    Thank you to all in advance for reading my rambling note and forgiving my poor spelling (it is way past my bedtime and the keys are really blurry). I am still very new to Mac's and appreiciate any help that you can provide.
    Cheers,
    Alan

    Sounds like you have two wireless networks on the same channel.
    Change the channel on the Airport Express.

  • LInksys Router BEFW11S4 version 2 and MacBook Pro Snow Leapord

    I bought my Linksys Router Model # BEFW11SW version 2 in 2002. I bought my MacBook Pro Dec.'09. My airport works in public location with wireless networks, but not in my house. Is my router not compatible, or can I re-configure something to make it work? Thanks!

    It's an old router. You may not have the latest firmware installed. The speed is 11b. At this point routers are cheap enough get a new one for your new MBP.

  • Trouble Connecting Airport Express to Linksys Router

    I am running a Windows XP SP2 Dell that is connected via Ethernet to a Linksys router. That router goes to a DSL modem and a Linksys WAP. I connected the AX via Ethernet to the router and then plugged it in. Initially got the green light and the router actually appeared to recognize it for a few seconds. I then tried setting up the AX using the Airport Setup Wizard, but it never saw the connection. Now the AX is flashing Amber.
    I've taken the firewall off and I can't see anything with the router software either. Any clues on how or what I need to do? Thanks.

    Are you using WEP? If so, you may have an issue with the WEP key format. Take a look at this article, it helped me:
    http://tinyurl.com/s58m
    This is especially important if the firmware you have installed on the AirPort Express is old. I believe the latest version of the firmware fixes this issue.
    Bottom line, if you're using WEP and you have a hex-formatted key on your network, then (with older firmware) you may need to precede the WEP key with a "$" to tell the AirPort Express you're giving it a hex string and not an ASCII string.
    Good luck,

  • I have one PC with a modem and linksys router #BEFW11S4 i...

    I have one PC with a modem and linksys router #BEFW11S4 installed. I have 3 other PC's which connect to it via Linksys wireless-G adapters. Things have been working just fine until recently when now at least twice a day my Pc's with the adapters lose connection with the router. Any suggestions?

    Open routers set up page ..... click status & see the firmware version ...... if required update ....download the latest firmware from http://www.linksys.com/download ........

  • New Safari 2.0.3 displays some Router Firmware pages as HTML Source text

      Hello Safari users and gurus.
    I installed the new 10.4.4 Combo Updater yesterday, preceded and followed by permissions repairs and other maintenance, including cleaning Safari Caches. Safari 2.0.3 works.
    My problem: 10.4.4's new Safari 2.0.3 displays HTML source text after I click "Save" from within my Linksys (latest firmware) router's web based administration pages that worked correctly with the previous version of Safari.
    When I check or change my router settings, the initial router settings pages appear as they did with the previous version of Safari. However, with 10.4.4's new Safari 2.0.3, as soon as I click "Save" to attempt to save a changed router setting, the confirming info from the router is displayed as HTML source code instead of the expected HTML page display.
    If I wait for the router lights to indicate activity has ceased and then reload the router's opening admin address, the page opens again normally, and I can navigate to other pages and see that the changes have been saved. However, any click on any "Save" changes button in the router's pages delivers another page of HTML source text.
    I will watch for future router firmware updates to see whether the issue is resolved from the Linksys side.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for improvement now? All assistance will be appreciated.
    EZ Jim

     Thanks glefand. As you suggested, I tried my old iBook G3 that is still running 10.3.9, and it works fine for me.
    My G5 DP also worked normally up through OS X 10.4.3. My problem only began after I installed the 10.4.4 update. I think the Safari update included with the 10.4.4 update is what is causing the issue with the firmware pages on my Linksys router.
    Hopefully a future router firmware update (or Safari update?) will restore proper operation. If not, I will continue to reload from the router's Start page. The need to work around this glitch is annoying, but the actual function of my router setup works without problem, even though the pages do not display properly.
    Thanks again for your helpful suggestion,

  • Connecting Ipod Touch to Home Network via Linksys Router

    After hours of frustrating attempts and able assistance from Apple product specialists and Linksys agents the issue was finally resolved inadvertently. Here's the solution for anyone having trouble:
    1. Perform a hard reset on the router - holding tiny red button next to the power cable in for 30 seconds.
    2. Perform a soft reset on the router - unplug the power cable for 30 seconds.
    3. Reset your cable modem.
    4. After rebooting everything, go to your router pages on the web. Re-establish your network settings. Make sure the Wireless Mac Filter setting is disabled. That worked for us. Hope it will save others the time and trouble we experienced.

    Thanks for posting your resolution.
    I would also like to mention that Linksys router owners should always update their router firmware to the latest version when encountering connection issues.

  • Airport Extreme, Linksys Router WRT54G: Internet is Impossibly Slow

    I have a problem regarding wireless internet activity on my Powerbook G4. In my house, I have a Linksys Router (WRT54G) that has worked fine for other laptops (including an iBook running Airport Extreme, a Powerbook G4 running Airport, and an iMac running Airport) for many years. When I got a refurbished Powerbook G4 1.67 GHz with Airport Extreme, I found that while Airport could be configured to recognize the wireless network (with a WEP 40/128-bit encrypted key), it barely works on the computer. The signal strength is strong (the laptop is hooked up right above the Linksys router), but the Internet barely works at all. Surfing to webpages takes 10-20-30 sec to work, and often the connection seems to drop off all together. Something is clearly wrong because despite the fact that this is my fastest computer with the fastest wireless capability, it runs at a slower pace than any computer I have ever used on the web.
    I was wondering if anyone has had similar problems with getting Wireless Extreme on Powerbook G4s to work with this particular (and older) model of Linksys wireless browser (WRT54G). Some Internet sleuthing led me to believe that perhaps the router firmware needs to be updated or something like that, but I haven't really found any definitive answers. If there is anything wrong on the laptop-OS-side, I have no idea. I would appreciate any pointers that you can provide!
    Thank you to all,

    Hi all,
    Thank you for your help. Unfortunately, my problems persist.
    I was able to reset my router and to configure it again on the web-based router configuration.
    As per your suggestion, I tried switching the Wireless Network Mode to "G-only." Not only did this kick off my older computers on the network (an old iMac and an older Powerbook G4, both with normal airport), but it did not fix the speed problems on the new Powerbook G4/with Airport Extreme. I am back on the mixed setting now in order to get most of the computers on the network back to their old working states...
    I also tried disabling my WEP encrypted key but found that this did not speed anything up at all.
    I have upgraded my firmware from its previous version, v 1.41.2 (very old!), to the latest from the Linksys website: v 4.30.5. This has not helped at all either.
    Is it possible that there is any setting on the Powerbook/Airport Extreme itself that is causing these problems?
    Thank you all again for your help,

  • Problems consering use of Chromecast and my Linksys router together

    Yes. Use the link FurryNutz had provided you. Make sure that you choose the Hardware version to 1.1. You also need to check what's the current firmware version of your router.

  • Customizing blocking screen by Access Restriction of Linksys router

    Hi,
    I've recently deployed the Access Restriction of my linksys rounter and it works fine. When I try visiting the website which I've set to be blocked, a screen with the message  "Website blocked by Linksys Firewall" is shown.
    May I know how I can change this screen to another screen or change the message to another message (say something like "the website has expired") instead?
    Thanks a lot for your kind help!
    Best Regards,
    Michael.

    That would take a change to the firmware...not possible with the stock firmware. If your router supports 3rd party firmware (don't know as you didn't provide a model) you may be able to work around it, but it would take some fairly in-depth Linux know how.....
