Power Light Blinks after firmware update to 1.00.17

I have model # WRT54GX4.
It has worked great, i just wanted to update the firmware.
I updated the firmware from 1.00.15 to 1.00.17 and now the power light just blinks.
Based on what i read it sounds like the firmware needs re-loaded because it could be corrupt on the router now.  It could have been the way that i upgraded.  i was in wireless mode when i did the upgrade thru the web utility, mayby i should have been plugged in.  The other thing is that i use 192.168.1.X range (not 192.168.0.X range), i am not sure if the firmware upgrade changes the ip back to 192.168.1.1, which affected the upgrade.
In either case my power light is blinking.  i also tryed to hold the reset button for 10 seconds, i also tried 30.  After that i plugged directly into the router from the pc using a regular patch cable.  I change the ip on my machine to 192.168.1.8 and the subnet to 255.255.255.0 to match the router.  i am assuming that the router is reset to 192.168.1.1 now that i pressed the reset button.  After doing all this i get a network connection, but i cannot ping 192.168.1.1. 
Here is my other question.   To fix the issue i would think that i would have to run the firmware upgrade utility from outside the router, now that the router is not accessible.  But the download page does not have a firmware utility like the other models.  The instructions want you to use the web utility on the router.
Please help.

HI,
u can upgrade the router from the "outside" using the tftp utility available at ftp.linksys.com/pub/network/tftp.exe .
however you first have to be able to ping the router....reduce the NIC speed to 10Mbps...assign a static IP to your PC ...reset the router and then try to ping....once the ping is confirmed....you can upgrade the firmware.
and yes the default router IP should now be 192.168.1.1

  • RE1000 power light blinking after power failure

    I've tried the 8 sec reset and the 30-30-30 reset but can't get the light to stop blinking and so can't connect to the unit. It was working fine before the power went out. Any suggestions?

    I had the same issue after a power outage today. I online live chat with an agent for about 15 minutes until he provided me three options all about that I would have to pay extra to get it replaced or fixed because mine was just out of warranty yesterday. I was lucky enough because mine RE1000 was not dead completely. I followed the instructions in this community and restored its service successfully.
    Here is what I did.
    1. Reset the extender by 30-30-30 method. The LED still blinked after reset.
    2. Turned off wifi on my laptop and assign a static IP on my laptop: 192.168.1.x. Ping RE's default gateway 192.168.1.1 with an Ethernet connection. It returned good result.
    3. Log on Web Admin Page and I was prompted to upload its firmware. Followed the screen instruction to upload the firmware that I already downloaded previously. Waited until everything was finished and it rebooted. Volla. It was back to life.
    I guess it might have lost the firmware somehow after power failure. Is there a battery inside the extender to power the flash rom?
    Here are few instructions I followed up:

  • Restoring after firmware update - Ways :)

    Hi All,
    Nowadays we are receiving quite a few complaints that customers are unable to restore the application after updating their firmware.  I would like all to discuss to come up with some ways to restore their applications after firmware update.
    Before updating firmware
    Customer can backup his phone using Nokia PC Suite's Content Copier application.
    He can store his Contacts and Messages using Nokia Communication Centre as .csv file or .txt file.
    For his Contacts he can sync with pc suite supported sync applications.
    Messages he can store in Memory card and he can make a backup of memory card in PC.
    If he is using Nokia PC Suite for his Multimedia items he can use Image Store if he is using Nokia PC Suite or Nokia Photos if he is using Nokia OVI Suite.
    For Music he can use Nokia Music Manager or Nokia Music.
    Once after updating his firmware, if he is unable to restore he can get those from above said applications.
    If his calendar entries are not restored(as in case of some of Nokia e 71s and Nokia N 95/95 8 GBs), for God's sake if he has got one more similar device(or device having switch application on phone), he can restore the backup file to another phone having switch application, then he can transfer his data (Contacts, Calenders etc ) to his original phone
    Dear Forum members, if you have got any other work around please let me know regarding the same, which will help our customers

    Hi,
    If you have issue in Nokia PC Suites, [subject to your phone's compatibility with Nokia OVI Suite 2.0.0.10 ],
    you can install Nokia OVI Suite 2.0.0.10 and check if you can take backup and restore it later.
    Also i would suggest to use USB for taking backup, since it will be faster than Bluetooth.  Also you can select one category at one time(say backup contacts alone, then Calendar, then messages etc and so on ....)
    Its better to skip memory card backup while backup-ing other Phone data for faster backup.  Memory card backup can be done separtely(since it wont be affetcted while updating firmware, users can safely remove memory card while updating firmware)
    Nowadays though recent phones has got UDP(User Data Prevention i.e., even if you update your phone's firmware, your data wont get erased ), still it is recommended to backup your phone data.
    Hope this could help
    I welcome our experts to add more details related to this topic.

  • Problems after firmware update 52.0.007

    Hi,
    I got my phone back after the shop fixed a problem and updated the firmware to the latest version 52.0.007.
    But now I have following problems:
    I can't get the calendar anymore to show up on the homescreen, even after checking the checkbox to do so
    The Radio app. is gone
    Does anyone has a solution for this?
    Iwan

    It may sound crazy but sometimes you need to "hard reset" device after firmware update (beware all data erased) by keying in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by yourself). Sometimes UDP = User Data Prersevation feature of 5800XM can carry over corrupt entries when updating.

  • Lights-Out Management Firmware Update

    I tried to execute the Lights-Out Management Firmware Update, which Apple released, today.
    But my Xserve always gives my an error, when I start the update application.
    Lights-Out Management Firmware Update: Bad executable (or shared library)
    Does anybody have the same problem?
    Thanks and Regards,
    JO

    There's a new firmware update out, version 1.1. I tried simply using Software Update but no luck. It seemed to think it installed both 1.0 and 1.1, but all I saw was 1.0, which (still) did not work.
    But I tried something else, and I think this works. I cannot test it until tomorrow when I can actually touch the server (to unplug it).
    Open the Terminal application and do the following (omitting the "% " which I include to indicate the prompt).
    % sudo rm /Applications/Server/Xserve\ Lights-Out\ Management\ Firmware\ Update.app
    % sudo rm /Library/Receipts/LOMUpdate.pkg
    % sudo softwareupdate -i LOMUpdate-1.1
    The last step is important. It should only download the 1.1 updater. This seemed to work for me. that is, it downloaded the 1.1 updater, which I was able to run (from /Applications/Server/). However it tells me I need to shut down and unplug the the Xserve for one minute, then boot up, then install the update. I cannot do that until I'm back at work tomorrow. We'll see!

  • Ovi Maps 3 don´t start after firmware update (6220...

    Hello!
    a few days ago I installed ovi maps 3 on my nokia 6220c and it works well. Later I updated the firmware from version 03.06 to 05.15.
    After firmware update ovi maps don´t start-> "Cannot open application. Install latest version from nokia.com/maps."
    But Nokia Map Updater says, there are no updates for my maps.
    What´s wrong?
    Can I reinstall Ovi Maps 3? Or is it possible to install Ovi Maps 3 new?
    thanks

    Hello!
    The Map Updater said: "there is no update for your phone" ...because maps 3 is already installed.
    But in the meantime I have found a solution!!
    I downloaded maps 2.0 from the German nokia page and installed it. Later I started Map Updater and could update to Maps 3 and now it works!!!
    I think the problem was: I first updated to Maps 3 and later updated the firmware. There was any older version of fixes included in the firmware update, so Maps 3 was damaged...
     thanks
    sorry for my bad English

  • My Mac Mini won't start. The Power light blinks continusly (not pulses)

    My New Mac Mini won't start up. I bought it online from J&R a week ago. My monitor says "no input detected" and the power light blinks. I recently fed it the gray mac os x install disk one, which it won't give back. Holding the mouse button when it turns on doesn't have any effect. So now i can't put a disk in or start it up.

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    No video with the power light blinking once per second means either bad or no memory. See this Apple note: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303083 . Specifically, below is from that note:
    If the computer detects no SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory, also referred to as RAM) or the RAM installed does not meet the appropriate specifications, the screen will remain black but the power LED on the front of the computer will blink once per second to signal the error. This error condition may be due to physically damaged RAM, installing the incorrect type of RAM, or not having RAM installed.
    Has it ever worked since you got it? If not, you should call J&R and tell them they sent a dead on arrival system, and ask for a replacement (ask them to send a will call tag or prepaid label to send the non-working machine back).

    Click on the words "Inactive plug-in installed" and it should activate Java and run the code from the remote site, provided you have the most up-to-date version of Java installed (as of this time/date that would be 1.7.0_17.)

  • Can't connect to WRT54G after firmware update

    I just tried to update the firmware on my WRT54G (version 8.0) and have not been able to connect to the router since then. The firmware said that it had been updated successfully, however I have been unable to connect since it reset itself, and the Ethernet and Internet LEDs are all constantly on even though nothing is connected (the power light on the other hand is behaving normally, not blinking or anything). I have tried resetting the router by holding down the reset button for 30 seconds, but this does not change anything, the router still cannot even be pinged. If anyone can give me any help at all with this, it will be very much appriciated. Thanks.

    It sounds like the router might already be dead.  But there is always hope that you might be able to revive it.
    You need to try again to 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, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
    If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
    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, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
    If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, 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.

  • Linksys EA6500 router power light blinks slowly, not reachable

    Hoping somebody can help me with this. I bought a Cisco Linksys EA6500 router a couple of years ago. For various reasons I ended up not actually unboxing it until today. It got left at my mom's place and well, it just didn't get unboxed until today. I connected it, ran the Setup disc and after a little bit of trouble, I got it to work OK. I was using the Admin panel and setting the guest network password etc. Everything seemed great. But then I had the idea to upgrade the Firmware, because I figured the router was a couple of years old, it probably needs a Firmware upgrade. From the admin page I clicked the "Check for upgrades" to the Firmware, but it gave me a red error message "Upgrade server not available" (or something to that effect). I clicked instead on "Manual update" and I had downloaded this file: FW_EA6500v2_1.1.40.166281_prod.img The firmware upgrade process started, there was a progress bar that went for a while, and when that reached the end, I got a spinning wheel animation. This however, never went away. Just spun and spun. I went for a coffee, came back 15 minutes later, it was still spinning and nothing else had happened. I looked at the router itself, and the white CISCO power led on the front of the router is blinking slowly. Kind of fading up and down. I waited another while and then I had waited probably 20 minutes, so I gave up and unplugged the router from the power, waited a few seconds and plugged it back in. Ever since I did this process, it's like completely dead. The CISCO power led is fading up and down. I've tried a 30-30-30 reset. I've connected it to a PC ran the setup program (EA6500v1.2.0.14212.1-Setup.exe). The setup program just reports that it can't reach or find the router. It's like completely broken. I've tried it with two different PC's. None of them can even acknowledge that the router exists. Meanwhile, the power light keeps fading up and down... I only got about 15 minutes use out of my brand new (albeit unboxed for 2 years) EA6500 before, it appears, the Firmware upgrade process completely broke the whole thing. Since my computer doesn't even manage to connect to the router on ANY level, I'm unable to see or change any settings or anything like that. I do have the "reset" button on the back of the router and I've tried it several times (including holding it for over 1 minute), but nothing makes any difference. Sorry about the lengthy post.... I probably could have explained this shorter: Router unresponsive - power LED fading up/down - Setup program does not find router. Anybody able to offer any help?? Thanks in advance.

    If you have already tried to use other browsers or computer, try the management mode process.  1st you will need to download the firmware file and teh TFTP software. connect your computer to the modem inorder to have internet access (set your IP to obtain). Download the firmware here: http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=148365 TFTP software is available here: http://downloads.linksys.com/downloads/Tftp.exe Reconnect the computer back to the router and set it back to static IP.  Follow this reset process in this link: http://www.linksys.com/ru/support-article?articleNum=140001 If it asks for a firmware, upload the file. If that doesn't work, proceed with TFTP upgrade. This link will help: http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=137928 I hope that helps!
