Problems after wireless router (WRT310n) firmware update.

I updated the firmware on my wireless router (wrt310n) yesterday and now I am having major issues connecting my laptop to it via wireless. After the update, I reset the router as well as unplugged the power source. Once the update and everything was reset, I re-entered all my settings and set the computers back up using the LELA. I go to change the laptop to wireless and it says it can't connect to it. I did the LELA update on the laptop thinking that would fix it, but it didn't help. However, the whole time I am able to connect to the router using a ethernet cable. I turned off all of the encryption settings, firewalls, and broadcasted my SSID. I searched this forum for some help and one topic suggested somethings, which I did, and I was able to connect wirelessly with the encryption. I thought I was done and set-up, until later that evening. I turned the computer back on only to see the same problem again. I decided to deal with it the next day (today) by uninstalling LELA and just using Windows to configure my wireless settings. As soon as I uninstalled LELA, entered the key into the Windows program, it worked like a charm. Until tonight, when I turned on the computer. Now I'm connecting to the network wirelessly, but it says "Limited or no connectivity." Acting like there is no encryption key entered. I go to "View Wireless Networks" and it says "WIndows cannot configure connection. If you have another program to manage this wireless connection, use that software." The thing is, I don't have another program on here to manage a wireless connection. Sorry for the long post. I figured if I didn't type everything out, people would have just asked me questions. I had no problems with this router until I did the update yesterday. If it can't be fixed, is there a way to revert back to the old firmware? Thanks in advance.

Well you should adjust the Wireless 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
- Here select manual configuration...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 Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard 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 WEP, Encryption should be 64 bit.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...
Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...
Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
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"...
Before you attempt to connect to your wireless network you should first check your Programs menu if there is any Wireless Program(like 'Intel Proset' , 'Dell Wireless WLAN' , or anything that gives you a clue of a Wireless Program/Utility/Software)...You should use the Wireless Utility/Software(if any) to connect to your wireless network and not the Windows default Wireless Program to avoid any conflicts...

WRT54Gv5 wireless problems after 1.02.7 firmware update

The wireless fails, but the wired connection is OK. Here's what I think is happening. The Wireless Network Name (SSID) becomes "linksys", although the web interface continues to show the custom name I had before the upgrade. When I change it, the web interface shows the new name, but it remains "linksys" in reality. I think this what is going on, because I can change the security I see in available networks for "linksys", though it is a little hard to diagnose because another router in the building is already called "linksys". Anyway, I was able to change the listing of "linksys" from "unsecured" to "WPA2", while the web interface continued to show the new name.
Following advice here, I did a hard reset on the router, which fixed it. But the next day we had the same problem. There had been a power cycle overnight, but now cycling the power, I cannot recreate the problem.
The release notes for this firmware say to make sure all wireless clients are disconnected before upgrading. So I disabled wirless before upgrading, the first time. The second time, I left wireless on and just checked there were no clients in the LAN table. Maybe it will hold this time. Other parameters I'm considering are: WPA instead of WPA2, based on a thread here, and otherwise using default settings, such as the 198.168.1.1 address, the default router name "WRT54G", and no logging. Obviously, we can't use "linksys" as the SSID.
Linksys used to be solid. Here's hoping they release a better firmware.

Hard-reset the router for 1 minute and configure it from the scratch...On the setup page,first of all change the router password under Administration tab...Now,under the Wireless tab,Change the SSID to unique name,Change the Wireless Channel to 11-2.462.Under the Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 50,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

External hard drive is not working on airport time capsule even after 7.7.2 firmware update.

External hard drive is not working on airport time capsule even after 7.7.2 firmware update.
I have the latest Airpor Time capsule 2gb. I specifically bought it so that I could have an external hardrive set up to wirelessly house my itunes library and movies. When i connect the drive, all i get is that the disk needs to be repaired.
the drive can works fine when connected to the macbook pro and I have run the verify and repair features in disk utility. I have also reset the airport timecapsule as well following these changes and still no change.
The 7.7.2 update says that it addressed the usb issue of not showing the drives but there are still problems as I cannot get it to appear.
Please help.
Thanks

How is the hard drive formatted?
Have you tried using a powered USB hub with the drive when it is connected to the Time Capsule?
(The USB port on the Time Capsule is borderline as far as power is concerned....you may need to use a powered hub.....even if the hard drive has its own power supply)
If the drive is formatted correctly....and....it has ample power, it will "show up" when you open AirPort Utility, click Edit, then click the Disks tab at the top of the next window.
In the example below, my Time Capsule drive is named "Backups" and another drive named "WD Drive" is connected to the USB port on the Time Capsule.
You should see the name of your Time Capsule drive (named "Data" unless you have changed the name) and the name of the USB drive if you perform the same check.
What do you see?

Wireless router wrt310n v2 installation issue

Hy
My first post here, sorry if this exist or it was solved already but couln't really find it.
I just bought a wireless router wrt310n v2. Right in the intallation it gives me a simple Runtime error. No reason, just pain error message. I wonder if the root of the problem is the fact that I bought the product in the states and I try to use in Europe, or something else? I'm using with a Sony Vaio vgn-fw560f. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Wireless router wrt310N can't connect to the ps3

I just bought the wireless router wrt310n yesterday got everything setup and installed. My PC works fine with the ethernet cable plugged directly into the router from my modem. But my router does not detect the connection to ps3. When I do the connection test on my ps3 it says exchanging key then connection failed!. Please help me open ports or resolve this issue. Thanks.

I bought the same router for my ps3 i'm using it wired but when i hooked up my psp i had the security on wep2 personal, make sure the passphrase it typed correct it's case sensitive,also check your wireless broadcast and make sure it is in manual and b and g mixed and not broadcasting n since the ps3 is wireless g.

Wrt310n firmware update completed but the router will not start!

I did a firmware update for my wrt310n because it was having to be power cycled twice a day! When I updated it said that it completed but when I tried to reconfigure it it would get stuck at "waiting for router" and when its not configured it did nothing. Help please?

Did you reset the router...after upgrading the firmware...if not then, Press and hold the reset button for 60 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

Problem After 1.52.02 Firmware Upgrade

I have a BEFW11S4 v4 wireless router. I am frequently having to reset my router after the firmware upgrade to 1.52.02. I have had this router for years and have had very few problems. After the firware update, I am constantly losing my connection to the internet. If I unplug the router and plug it back in, it works fine. This happens to me several time a day sometimes. I would go back to an older version of firmware if one were available. Anyone else having this problem ? Anyone have a solution ?

Don't go with the older firmware version, try to hard reset your router...
Press and hold the reset button for 45 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 45 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
You should also adjust the wireless settings on your router...
Wireless connections are often caused by radio interference from other 2.4 GHz devices. This includes wireless phones, wireless baby monitors, microwave ovens, wireless mice and keyboards, wireless speakers, and your neighbor's wireless network. In rare cases, Bluetooth devices can interfere. Even some 5+ GHz phones also use the 2.4 Ghz band. Unplug these devices, and see if that corrects your problem.
In your router, try a different channel. There are 11 channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Usually channel 1, 6, or 11 works best. Check out your neighbors, and see what channel they are using. Because the channels overlap one another, try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors. For example, if you have a strong neighbor on channel 9, try any channel 1 through 4.
Also, try to locate the router about 4 to 6 feet above the floor, in an open area. Do not locate it behind your monitor or near other computer equipment or speakers...

Possible Solution to Apples not Being Able to Connect to WRT54G After 1.01.0 Firmware Update

So like everyone else that has apples on their networks, ours did not work after the 1.01.0 firmware update. However after a few hours and messing around, I finally got them to work with the router without having to downgrade to .9.
So far they still work thorugh a restart and a cold start, so I'm hoping that this fix will stick.
To get this to work you need to have another open wireless connection that you can connect to and get online with.
Steps:
1) First open up safari or whatever you use... (obviously doesn't load otherwise you wouldn't be reading this)
2) Connect to the open wireless network, and then hit refresh... (it should load up the page this time)
3) Go back up and reconnect to your router.... now try your internet again using your connection. It *should* work fine... and you shouldn't have to do it ever again...
Good luck, hope this helps

HI , just an addition to the above.....for MAC's go to system preferneces and then to network...choose you network card uner "connect using" and then under the TCP/IP tab select configure manually.....assign a static IP , subnet and gateway to the MAC along with the DNS entries....this static IP will work with the 1.01.0 firmware version .

Problems after today's Airport Utility Update

After downloading today's airport utility software update, now my MacBook Pro, running Snow Leopard, is unable to find any wireless connections in my home. I have a Netgear Router and an Apple Express. Nothing shows up and the computer continues to search for networks.
Does this update have bugs in it?

After updating to Airport Utility 7.5.2 my MacBook Pro can see the Airport 801N Extreme and join the network OK.
But I have a DSL connection which I routinely turn off and on. To see if it is connected, I always have the 'Show time connected' turned on. It was working fine before the firmware update, resetting to 0:00:00 each time I disconnected.
Now the clock never resets to zero when I disconnect, and the time just resumes from the last reading when I reconnect, hour later.
A definite BUG. Please return my resetting 'time connected' clock.

Sound Blaster Tactic3D Rage Wireless - Driver and Firmware update, now it's frozen?????????

Just recieved my headphones yesterday - plugged it in and charged it = works. I then decided to download the newest drivers and firmware and went straight to bed. This afternoon, suddenly no sound is detected, what so ever! The USB Power LED flashes slowly and a constant red glow is showing at my headphones.. When I try to re-pair it, the USB Power LED flashes rapidly as it should, but neither the Mic Mute button, nor the Connect Button on the headphones responds.. It feels like the headset is simply just frozen right after the new driver/firmware installation.
I've tried everything pretty much.. Went from Wireless to USB to see if that helped, but it didnt. Tried to remove / setback the drivers, still dosn't work. Headphones is just completely frozen with no buttons working and a constant red glowing light - can't be turned off or restarted!!!
WHAT TO DO?!?
Cheers,
Alexander

My headphones just ran out of power during the day = it resetted itself. I then connected it again and re-paired it. Atm it's working perfectly fine again. I will now try to reinstall the Control Panel, not the driver though, hopefully it will work this time and wont make the headphones go into "non-responding-retarded-mode" once again :-)
Conclusion: For me it felt like it was either the Drivers or the Firmware update, maybe both, which made my headphones "crash", or atleast not respond to any command / buttons pushed. If anyone faces the same or similar problems as me, due to installation of drivers/firmware, let your headset run out of power (if you as me, don't know how to remove the battery manually) and just reconnect it :-) Should work then.

No network connection after hp laserjet m602 firmware update

After updating firmware on our hp laserjet M602 printers, the printers are no longer communicating with our print server. I can't even print configuration pages, if the Network cable is connected. The update completed successfully and I can print using a USB connection. The Event Log displays the following:

All Help will be greatly appreciated.... JP

Try to turn on device while network cable is disconnected (standalone) and let it completely boot till READY status.
Connect the network cable & note the front panel status (display & LED's both). Also note if the LAN port LED's are ON.
Hope that there is no data being processed by printer (data LED on control panel). If yes, then you might need to delete any pending jobs (including firmware download initiated from computer - if pending in que as a job)
If printer shows READY status without any data, then you may try printing printer internal documents using control panel menus. Next step will be to access printer through web brower (EWS page) and confirm if the device is available for use in network.

No internet access after 7.2.1 Firmware Update

I can not get internet access after performing this Firmware Update. I have a green light on my Airport Extreme, and in the System Preferences Network pane it states that I am connected to the internet via Airport. Has anyone else had this problem and been able to resolve it?
I have a cable modem and have reset it several times. I have also uploaded the firmware update again. I've tried to go back to the previous version of the firmware but it does not seem to be available anywhere, and does not show up as an option in the Airport Utility using Manual Set Up option.

I have the same problem. ATT DSL modem. Updated my firmware and lost all connectivity. If I bypass the AEBS, it works just fine. Also lost my Apple TV in iTunes after the update. Frustrating!
Let me know if you figure it out.

Problems with Wireless Router and Adapter

I tried posting this in the wireless adapter forum but nobody responded :-(
I'm using a WRT54G Router btw, and the firmware is v2.02.7, Feb. 27, 2004.
Hi everyone,
I have a Linksys Wireless G Router and several computers that I try to connect with. One of them is a computer running Windows XP and using a Linksys Wireless USB B Adapter (WUSB11). Another is a laptop running Mandriva Linux using a Linksys Instant Wireless Network PC Card (WPC11). Another one is running Windows Vista and using a Linksys Wireless N card. I also have a laptop running Windows XP using a Linksys Wireless-G Notebook Adapter (WPC54G). I also have another PC running Windows XP and uses a Linksys Wireless USB Adapter WUSB54G. Finally, I have two macintosh laptops running OSX and with airport devices installed.
Anyway, I have problems with my internet connection frequently being interrupted and even sometimes I won't have a connection at all for hours. This occurs with my Linux laptop, the PC with the Wireless B Adapter, and the laptop using the Wireless G Notebook Adapter. In addition to this, the macintosh laptops have internet even more infrequently. However, I seem to never have a problem with the Windows Vista desktop or the Windows XP desktop that has the Wireless G adapter. I try repairing the connection and often it does not work. I have also tried resetting the router and the cable modem. I'm not sure what else I can do. I even bought a Wireless N router and had little success with that. We even went as far as moving the wireless router upstairs into our living room, thinking that the signal was somehow suffering from interference or that distance was a factor. Anyway, sorry for the long post but I could really use some help!
Thanks.

Hi… logon to wireless N router’s setup page, open I.E. an in the address bar type 192.168.1.1 it would ask for username and password, put "admin" as a paassword (default password) without any username...linksys setup pops up, click on on wireless tab and and try changing radio band to wide 40MHz, wide channel to 9 and wireless standard channel to 1 or 11, go to advanced wireless settings reduce beacon interval to 50, fragmentation and RTS threshold to 2304, change N Transmission rate to 270 MBps…also try upgrading latest firmware on router, check whether it makes any difference or not and let me know.
