Linksys RVS400 router firmware update

We have a Linksys RVS4000 that has not had its firmware updated since we bought it.  We are running version 1.1.09.  Our internet is going down often and we have to continually restart the router, as it is usually the problem.
How do I update the firmware to the latest version? Where do I find this update? Will I have to incrementally update since we are so far behind?
Thank you

Here is a link to download the firmware:
https://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=282414013&softwareid=282465789&release=1.3.3.6
No need for incremental updates. This should preserve your settings but you may want to write them down just in case.
There are more recent versions however it looks like your router is version 1, a version 2 firmware won't work on it.
To upgrade you download the file then login to the router usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 in your web browser. Login default is admin/admin
There will be several tabs 1 of which will either be administrator or system management the option you will be looking for is Firmware upgrade. Click the button that says browse and select the file you downloaded then click upgrade. Give it some time to work. Don’t unplug it until it has finished. It should only take a minute or 2.

  • WPC300N lost connection to WRT150N after router firmware update

    This is my second WRT150N in a week: out of the box it worked great, and then I updated the firmware to 1.01.9 (which is basically the same) and now my laptop WPC300N adapter can't connect to the WRT150N router! Anyone know how I can fix this? Set up: DSL modem connected to WRT150N WRT150N connected to desktop by wire. Laptop with WPC300N connect to router wirelessly. Thanks!

    Yes I did updates on both router and adapter, but the original firmware on the router was basically the same as the one posted on Linksys web site (which I downloaded and used to updated it). On the first router that I bought, I followed the CD instructions and did the firmware update right away, and ran into the exact same problem. I did not have a chance to test to see if would work out-of-the-box. Now, the adapter just sits there with the "Act" light blinking regularly.

  • WRT54GS Router Firmware Update.....

    I flashed my routers memory this morning and ever since I cannot access the router from the computer it is hardwired to. I can access the 192.168.1.1 web page from my wireless connection. I've spent time with tech support in a chat and the last advice they gave me was to delete my temporary internet files and make sure of some connections in the web browser were turned off. This all was working prior to the flash. I'm pretty tech savy and this one has me stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Dale

    Note that the router's "web pages" are not actually on the web, so you do not need an Internet connection.  The router's "web pages" are built into the router's firmware.
    To view the router's web pages:
    Use Internet Explorer, it usually works.
    JavaScript must be enabled.
    Use a computer that is wired to the router.
    In the non-working computer, temporarily turn off your software firewall.
    If you are using Zone Alarm, right click on the ZA icon in the system tray (lower right corner of screen) and then click "Shutdown ZoneAlarm", and see if this fixes your problem. If this does not work, try the following with Zone Alarm: Open the ZAISS control center, go to Privacy, then temporarily turn off Ad Blocking and Cookie Control, and see if that fixes your problem.
    If you are using Noton Internet Security with the Add-on Pack, be sure to turn off the Pop-up Blocker, and the Ad blocker. Some users have reported that they needed to uninstall the entire Norton Add-on Pack.
    If you cannot get anything at 192.168.1.1 then perhaps this is not your router's address. Go to "Start" > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
    A black DOS box will appear. Type in "ipconfig" (with no quotes), then hit the Enter key. Look at the "Default Gateway". Is it 192.168.1.1 ? Point your browser to the "Default Gateway", then login to your router.
    If the above fails, disconnect your modem from the router, and try again. If this corrects your problem, then most likely you have a "modem-router" rather than an ordinary modem. Check to see if your "modem-router" is using the same 192.168.1.x address space as your Linksys router. If it is, then report back with this problem, and also state the make and model of your modem-router.
    If all of the above fails, power down your entire system, unplug it from the wall, wait one minute, then power up and try again.
    If all of the above tips fail, then reset the router to factory defaults: Power down the router and disconnect all wires from it. Wait one minute. Power up the router, allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes), then press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release the button and allow the router to reset and reboot ( 2-3 minutes). Power down router. Wait one minute. Connect one computer, by wire, to a LAN port on the router. Boot up system. It should work.
    If the reset does not fix your system, then you need to download and install (or re-install) the latest firmware for your router. After the firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.

  • 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,

  • Firmware update? Make sure you factory default afterward...

    If you do a router firmware update, you may need to restore to factory default. Just found this out. Been a while since I did a router firmware update. Linksys wrt54g2
    I'll report back if this fixed the issue with my router lockups.

    Thanks for the heads up, David. I agree.
    This was precisely why I had a detailed post today Dreamweaver October 2014 release is now live! Read this first. on this release.

  • RVS4000 firmware updates don't work with Internet Explorer 8.0

    I have 2 RVS4000 VPN routers.  Neither would accept firmware updates via the admin browser interface using Internet Explorer 8.0.  After lots of troubleshooting, I tried Chrome (Google) on 1 router and Mozilla Firefox on the other.  Both updates were successful.  The firmware rescue utility that you can download from the Cisco web site also works.  It does the update without the browser interface, but installs a slightly older version of firmware than is availble for browser-based firmware updates.  I hope this saves you time and frustration when you need to update your routers.
    Rene Feitelson

    Rene,
    A thousand thanks for taking the time to post your result. You've made my day!
    I have spent over 8 hours today trying to implement a firmware upgrade on my RVS4000, with zero success. I initially used Safari 5 (on a Win XP SP3 machine) in order to update IPS to v1.42, with no success. Switching to MS IE8 and the update worked fine - hence I stuck with IE8 for the firmware update. I can confirm your result - IE8 does not initiate a firmware update, nor does it provide any feedback whatsoever on its failure.
    Using the Firefox v3.5.9 browser the RVS4000 v1.3.2.0 firmware update worked straight away without a glitch.
    So, perhaps a general "Heads Up" to everyone - if you have any issues when trying to configure your Router, then try using another browser as the first step.
    Many thanks again, Rene.

    Oh, another issue that might help folks:
    When the firmware update file "filename.img" is downloaded from the Cisco site Windows interprets it as a .zip file and associates the usual ZIP file icon to it. Cisco's documentation states "unpack the file and ......". This immediately leads one to believe that the firmware update file is contained in the ZIP file. This is not the case! It is NOT a ZIP file at all, but is the binary that the router requires.
    If one tries to unzip the file WinZip throws up an error "ISO file incomplete" and doesn't unzip it.
    So, ignore the ZIP file icon and just point the router firmware updater at the .img file, despite its ZIP icon.

  • How do I install the firmware update for LinkSys E900 router?

    Hi,
    I'm using Mac 10.7.5 and a few months back had purchased the E900 wireless router.  It has firmware 1.0.03 installed and I noticed there is a 1.0.04 update.  I downloaded the update, which is a .bin file, but I do not have a CD burner nor access to a Windows machine.  How can I install the firmware update?
    Thanks, - Dave
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Simple, with your wired computer (never wireless) just access the GUI in the router and perform the firmware update.  Just point to the .bin file and away you go.  Make sure to hard reset the router and reconfigure it after you are done.

  • Router Linksys RV082 - firmware update?? latest or not??

    Do Cisco recommend me running the latest firmware update? Im just an individual who uses it for like a small web-/FTP-/Mail-server, etc...
    What are the recommodations? Personally I would have updated to the latest...but what are actually the Cisco recommendations?

    Thanks for ur informative answer.
    How do I find out which version I have of this router? I see you have v1 and v2 and v3...on mine it says nothing on the hardware (router) about which version it is.
    I assume its here (URL below) where I see which one is the latest for each version, correct???

  • Linksys WRT54 G V1.1 - Problems with SBC DSL after firmware update

    I have a Linksys WRT54G version 1.1. I also have AT&T SBC Yahoo! DSL with the SpeedStream 5100 DSL modem.
    It previously had the original firmware, as I never updated it. Last night I updated the firmware. It was successful. However ever since I have not been able to successfully connect to my SBC DSL.
    I set it to PPPOE and used my SBC username and password to connect but it would not connect. Router name, domain name, host name and the new field called "service name" were all left blank previously....so I do not think anything changed there. I talked to the SBC technical support and the lady had no information to give me regarding any of those fields because the router was 3rd party....she gave me the Linksys number but how are they supposed to know any of SBC's specific information?  Anyway I figured I mind as well post here instead of waiting in line for an on-line Linksys technical advisor.
    There were also new added options in the updated firmware version like "advanced settings" I believe it is called....since the firmware update the "router" was set to be a hub instead of a router....so I changed it to router. Then I was able to go to status and finally be able to connect. Prior to that it was giving me an error saying it was not able to obtain an IP address from the server.
    Although I was able to connect to the SBC DSL service through the router I am still unable to actually get an internet connection. Cannot receive weather through weatherbug or access websites through IE7. For the time being I disconnected the router and have the modem hooked directly to my desktop. This works OK temporarily but I'd love to get the router up and running again so I could use my wireless laptop as well as the increased security that the router provides.
    If you can think of something I am forgetting or doing wrong with this new firmware update let me know. There are a bunch more options and settings than the original firmware that I am not really familiar with. Thank you in advance!

    With most AT&T systems, the modem does your PPPoE login.  The Linksys router should not repeat this login.  Instead, in the WRT54G, the "Internet Connection Type" should be set to obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP).  This is the factory default setting.
    Additionally, after a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch.  If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
    So, to fix your system, do the following:
    First, reset the router to factory defaults.
    To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
    1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
    2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
    3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
    5) Power down the router.
    6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
    7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
    9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
    10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
    If you get this far without problems, then power down your network, then wire the ethernet port on the 5100 to the Internet port on the WRT54G.  Leave one computer wired to a LAN port on the WRT54G.  Power up your network.  It should work.
    If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router might be dead.  Report back with this problem.
    If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, report back with this problem.
    If you need additional help, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
    Please let me know how things turn out for you.

  • WRT1900AC - 2118 Error on Router Settings and Firmware Update

    I bought a WRT1900AC in June and it has worked great. I was able to configure it fine after buying it with no problems. I wanted to make an update recently so I logged in and found that I couldn't access the router settings. When I tried I would get an error 2118.
    At first I only got the error when clicking on "Connectivity" but was able to access "Troubleshooting". I powered off/on the router and everything still worked at this point except I was now getting the error on all router setting options Connectivity, Troubleshooting, firmware update msg that would display at the top of the admin panel. I tried more reboots/resets and nothing error error error.
    I contacted Linksys support and after being on the phone ALL day they deteremined that the router must be defective. I brought the router back to best buy and they gave me a new one. Now I bring this one home and right out of the box the msg I get is "Your router was not successfully setup" and the error at the bottom is error 2118. I have tried rebooting/resetting and I can never get past this screen. After a reset I have tried to choose to configure manually and am able to login to the admin panel but I get the exact same error as with the original one error 2118 on any of the Router setting options and again it is displaying that there is a firmware upgrade available but I get the error 2118 and I click on "update". I have even followed the instructions on trying to use TFTP to update the firmware but all I get is "Unable to get a response from the server". 
    Right now the status is my internet works and my wireless works but only with the orginal network name and password since I can't change it.
    FYI - Tech support kept pointing to my browser but I have tried from several devices and same issue.
    Tried from:
    winxp - IE8, firefox, chrome
    windows7 - ie, firefox
    ubuntu 12.04 - firefox
    ubuntu 10.04 - firefox
    Cleared caches and rebooted on all and same issue on all. My last linksys router went 7years 0 problems, ah man this sucks if anyone can help I would be grateful.

    Thank you so much for replying.
    Working from win7 IE11
    -windows firewall disabled
    -antivirus software firewall disables
    -disabled anitvirus software
    -disabled  browser security add-ons
    -cleared browser cache & ran ccleaner
    -added linksyssmartwifi.com and 192.168.1.1 to compatibility view
    tried accessing linksyssmartwifi.com and am getting "Your router was not successfully setup"
    tried steps when connected from wifi or LAN Port 1
    Have tried the same steps but selected to configure manually so I could login with local access. I can access any of the Smart Wifi Tools but I can't access anything under "Router Settings' ie: Connectivity, Troubleshooting, Wireless or Security. I get the error 2118 so even though I have downloaded the firmware update to my desktop I can't upload to router since I can't access that page. Also if I click on the New Firmware available click here link I get the same 2118 error.
    When I click on details of the 2118 error it reads:

  • Linksys Firmware Update Process Change

    Linksys is starting to rollout firmware updates to router's that have the "Check for Firmware Update" or "Auto Firmware Update" features in a batch process. 

    chadster766 wrote:
    You know with my Galaxy S5 I have auto updates enabled. I like it but as soon as the first bad update occurs it will be turned off.Sure but w/ your Galaxy S5 (assuming a carrier one) you would be surprised at how difficult it is for Samsung to get the carriers to approve that update (LOTS of testing). Additionally, you at least get some sort of release notes. Nothing major. Final item, a Galaxy S5 is a single user device.  A Router supports "multiple single user devices".  So if a router dies from an update, that could impact 10+ Samsung WiFi clients.vs. just 1 phone that dies. To me, "scope of impact" and "release management" factor into these sort of decisions...Real world scenario: Someone is in the middle of NetFlix streaming a movie.If I update the router firmware and interrupt that, I might not live to post on these forums Just imagine what more "productive" situations could arise. For ,my phone, if I update it, no one is impacted but me.  

  • Any new firmware updates for Linksys E2500 yet?

    I heard about this http://www.komando.com/news/241801/self-replicating-virus-infects-and-breeds-inside-linksys-routers and wondering if there are any firmware updates yet but I havent seen any unless one is being worked on?

    If your router is infected, you can reload the same firmware and get rid of it (but of course make sure you disable or change the remote management port so it is not still vulnerable).  The new firmware expected to come out will fix the vulnerability, but in the meantime, you can stop the attack by reloading...rebooting won't do it.

  • Cisco Router tried to take a firmware update and no longer works

    Ok so internet was working fine until Cisco Connect told me to take an update.  My connection is wired and there were no disruptions during the download.  Yet the download still failed and now my power light blinks continuously and there is no internet access.  I tried instructions on "How to unbrick your Cisco Router", even got them to work, it took the firmware update from the cmd line.  Still doesnt work though.  What's wrong with this thing and how do i fix it?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I ended up downloading a firmware utility program and was able to get it to reload. The power light became solid somewhere between 2-5 mins, however still didnt connect to the internet.  Found that all this factory resetting will change your Internet access name & password, with no way to find out the new one.  You have to remove the Cisco Connect program from your computer and reload it from the original disk.  Only then will you be up and running again.  While I appreciate the response Helm, I was way beyond a 30 second reset button solution when I posted this lol.

  • HT3728 Firmware Update 7.6.4 Error: I uploaded the 7.6.4 firmware update today, and received an error message as it was finalising. As I am using my Time Capsule as the Airport router, I am now no longer able to access it to try to resolve the problem. He

    Dear Support Team,
    I agreed to the Time Capsule 7.6.4 update today, but as it was completing, I received an error. It said to close the page and try again.
    I use my Time Capsule as my Airport wireless router and now can't access the Time Capsule to re-upload the Firmware update.
    Has anyone else had this happen?
    Is there a way to resolve the problem?
    Do I need to hardwire the Time Capsule? Then what?
    Would really appreciate some help!!
    Thanks everyone.

    Factory reset the TC and it should come back to life.
    The Factory Reset.
    Power down the TC.
    Hold in reset. and keep holding it in. Be Gentle! It is a tiny surface mount switch with a plastic lever.. Attempting to push it out the other side of the TC will not make the switch turn on better.
    (I fix TC and have several reset levers bent over and jammed or broken off).
    Power on the TC.. remember with the reset held in.. this needs three arms.. a friend or power switch you can get to with your feet..
    Keep holding in reset for about 10sec until the front LED flashes rapidly.
    Release reset and wait .. the boot will be slow as it deletes previous setting.. only from router side and pulls out the factory defaults. No files are deleted on the hard disk.. but the name of the TC may change.
    As a rule .. wireless is not reliable enough for mission critical work like firmware upgrades.. (Heck I don't think it is reliable enough for backups).
    Apple doesn't insist on wired connections.. some other manufacturers do.. and post warnings not to attempt it over wireless. Warnings inevitably read after the failed firmware update btw.. so perhaps Apple have decided to just save themselves the hassle.
    I believe it is just good practice to use ethernet for any time that sitting on a branch.. whilst sawing it off (ie failure will kill any future access).. means you always use ethernet for any setting up of a wireless router.. but you see I am old.. with grey/white hair.. and too many dead modems and routers around me.

  • 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.
