RE1000: 1. Firmware upgrade and strange issues. 2. WPS 'on' despite being clearly disabled

1. WPS shows 'on' in the RE1000's web status page even though it shows disabled in the wireless security page!
2. The unit seemed to be acting up multiple times ("attempting to connect" or whatever the exact message is) in the middle of both the firmware upgrade to 1.0.01 and the subsequent firmware downgrade to 1.0.00
Luckily it did NOT get bricked!
It also at times would just stop responding or redirect to to the erouter page, despite clearly being in the RE1000 web admin pages and clicking wireless survery links etc.!
Bizarre!
It may be that it needed rebooting / resetting, but it happened during the first upgrade.
3. It also said 'authentication / authorization failed' when I attempted to manually connect to my AP in the 'Site Survey' screen. However, when I then go to 'WLAN statistics' it shows Status:  Associated anyway.
Bizarre!
Has anyone else seen any of this?

What is the make and the model number of your router? The RE1000 is meant to extend the range of an 802.11n network. If attempting to extend the signal for a traditional 802.11g router you will not achieve the desired performance because it is not optimized to extend standard 802.11G signals.
So if you are using n-technology router I suggest you to reconfigure the RE1000..
Here is the link for the configuration of the RE1000

I am using Linksys's own E4200 which is their current top of the line consumer router (802.11n 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 450 MBps on 5 GHz).
Thanks for the suggestion, but my RE1000 has been configured perfectly since the beginning.
I also do not have WPS enabled (although the one screen says it is while the other setup screen clearly shows it is off) and other than the flashing light (and strange behavior / bugs), it works nicely as far as the actual intended functionality is concerned.
I had the same flashing light issue with my E4200 router, which Cisco finally acknowledged was an issue on their end (which I was convinced all along given how many others had the same exact issue) and which they fixed in the latest E4200 firmware (1.0.03) - see release notes.
I suspect the RE1000 has a similar code defect (bug) that happens under a specific set of circumstances (which explains why not all owners are affected).
Hopefully they will address it soon.

  • Firmware upgrade encountered an issue

    Right now my Galaxy S3 is sitting at a screen that states "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.  Please use Software Repair Assistant & try again."  Whenever I power on my phone, I get that message.  I've tried to do an Emergency Recovery in both Kies and Kies 3, but neither are able to recover, and the only way, it seems, to get the SRA is to plug my phone into my PC and get it from Autorun.  Since my phone is not leaving the error screen, I don't get the auto run option to install the SRA.  Is there any way to download it manually to get my phone running, or is it pretty much bricked and I'll have to look at replacement options?

    I found a solution on the XDA forums site, but thanks anyway.  Looks like I just needed to run the Software Repair Assistant, which I'm a little surprised that the Verizon store I went to didn't have it on hand to attempt to fix my phone.  I got my device repaired, and it's working great.  Just really wish my Wiimotes worked in Android 4.3. 

  • Firmware Upgrade and Battery Life?

    Since the firmware upgrade on my Macbook in early February the fan appears to be running at full speed all the time and battery life is crap! Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a fix/workaround available please?

    Sounds more like an app stuck processing that shouldn't be....does happen from time to time. Behing hot means it is constantly processing.
    To fix:
    Try a reboot (described below).
    Think of it this way, the iPhone is more of a computer than a phone. It suffers from being a new OS and nobody can deny there are not bugs and memory leaks. The longer left running, the more things start to fail or slow down (I have had the iPhone since day one of original phone and I am just speaking from my experience). Thus I equate it to like when Windows95 came out...not sure of your age or if you remember those days...but back then it was a running joke of how many days you can keep Windows 95 running before you had to reboot. I am sorry to say but the iPhone is the same way right now (but getting better with a few hiccups back during the 2.0 release). So for me, I reboot daily when I leave in the morning and take it off the charger. By doing so I rarely see any lag or problems.
    A reset/reboot is:
    Go to Home Screen
    Press and Hold Home Button
    Keep holding and press and hold Lock Button
    Keep holding Both
    You will see Slide to Turn Off (Don't let go to slide, just keep holding)
    The phone will turn off (in time, but screen will look like it has some white lines)
    Keep Holding
    When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go.
    Turning off via the Slide to Turn off while good and fine to turn off, is more like the Sleep Mode on a computer. Thus any locked up issues in memory remain when you turn back on. A reboot as described is like doing a real Turn off and Turn On on a computer.
    You may also wish to read this tread about reboots and odd application behavior.

    For me, 2.1 works great.

  • I just did a firmware upgrade and there is no eprint logo on the front of my computer. what now?

    i just did the firmware upgrade for eprint. there is no logo on the front of my printer and the guide doesn't tell you where to go if you don't have this. I would like to setup eprint but i don't know where to go from here. How do i find my printer's email address?

  • When is the HomeFusion firmware upgrade and higher datacaps coming??

    Was told that end of February that the firmware upgrade to correct the daily disconnects with the HomeFusion hardware was going to be rolled out. Nothing as of yet.
    Also want at least 50GB of data for the $120 per month package. There's no way 30GB will ever be enough for a family of 4 in a 1 month billing cycle. Hell even 50GB would barely cover it.
    Time to end the illusion that datacaps are in place for network congestion and that it's all about screwing the customer out of more money. A residential LTE connection should not cost anyone $120 plus taxes and fees and another $100 for the 10GB in overages on a ridiculous low amount of data allowance.

    I think 150 GB/month where we should be at for $120.00/ month. I mean a fixed lte home service . 50 GB for $90/ month and the $60/ month plan should be 30 GB ill keep dreaming  lol.
    P.S. I called yesterday about the firmware now its planned for mid march this does suck.

  • WRT54GS v2.1 Firmware upgraded and wireless will not work

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a WRT54GS v2.1 wireless g broadband router. I updated the firmware WRT54GSv3_4.71.4.001_fw.bin since that was what the linksys website said i needed. After updating the firmware on the router, my two laptops can see the router but are not able to connect to it. If I connect through the ethernet cord, then I can get online and access the admin page of the router. I have no clue if a setting got messed up or the firmware caused it to go nuts. Please let me know if someone knows anything. 
    Thanks
    Delta

    After you upgrade the firmware you are to reset the router by pressing the reset switch in back for 30 seconds.  When done, power cycle the router.  Now you must reconfigure the routers wireless settings as they are all gone.  Make sure the security settings on the router match your wireless settings.
    Go here for help.

  • WRT610N New Firmware Upgrade and USB Hard disk not working

    Hi, I've just upgraded the new firmware, everything seems fine but now my USB Hard disk is not recognizable unless i restart the router. I have a Seagate FreeAgent 500Gigs, and it worked perfectly with the previous firmware. Just wondering if its just me or anyone else has the same problem. 
    Thanks 
    I forgot to add that afterawhile the hard disk isnt recognizable again and i have to reset it to get it working

    The same thing is happening to me... After the HDD goes to sleep, when you goto access it again you can hear it spin up but you still can't access it at all.

  • N73 Firmware upgrade and PC Suite upgrade

    Help!!
    I have the N73 but have no clue what version of the firmware I have - where will it tell me?
    If it is not the latest I want to upgrade but the Nokia help pages say I need to have the latest version of PC Suite first - which I don't have. So I want to upgrade PC Suite BUT the FAQ says I first need to synchronise something before that - how?
    It also says I then need to "Backup your phone memory to your PC using PC Suite (to preserve your OMADRM activation keys, etc.)" and "Copy the original SISX, Java, etc. installation files for your applications, themes, etc. from your Nokia hard drive or memory card to your PC. (Do not simply copy over the installed directories/files.)" - again how?
    I really wish Nokia would stop assuming everyone is completely literate with all this kind of stuff - because we are not!!! Step by step idiot guides would be more than helpful please Nokia!!!!!
    It's no good Nokia telling people to do this and that without bothering to tell them EXACTLY how - Nokia please note!
    Anyway, if anyone can offer somne advice it would be greatly appreciated.

    type *#0000# in your phone screen to see what software version you have.
    there is another area of topics here:
    /discussions/board?board.id=swupdate
    view that to learn about software update(the link to the pages in there also)
    pc suite you can download from

  • RV016 firmware upgrade and manual

    I am trying to upgrade my RV016 from 3.0.2.01-tm to 4.0.4.02. I have not received any messages  and the log has nothing. I have left the computer and switch for 2 hours and it never seems to end.  (serial no. DF0006200812) I am looking for any guidance anyone can provide.
    I am also looking for the manuals for this router. The only ones on line are not very helpful.
    Thanks
    Richard

    If your router isn't V3 hardware, you can not upgrade to the 4.x firmware.  Look for RV016 V03 below the PID VID: barcode on the back.  The V3 hardware also has a new black exterior and is now Cisco branded only, no mention of Linksys anymore.

  • Upgrade and internet issues

    I recently installed Arch 64 and have been having a couple of issues:
    1.When I installed it I connected to the internet and tried "pacman -Syu" to upgrade my system. The download went fine( although a little slow) but when it came to the installation it spit out some junk about files already being in the filesystem and at the end something about errors occurring and no packages being upgraded. I can't even install my video drivers because it needs some files to be upgraded.
    2.At first I had internet just fine but now it wouldn't connect. I have a PPPoE (username+password) connection. Also, when booting it says "eth0 timed out". I had another computer before this one. I had  installed Arch 32 and had everything setup properly. But this time I need a 64 bit edition due to rendering purposes.
    Any help is welcome. Thanks.
    By the way, I have kind of mixed up shifts so I may not be able to answer you right away.

    Thanks. The link worked. I managed to install my video drivers as a test but I somehow broke the system. I'm with a fresh installation but eth0 still times out when booting. I shutdown the Wake-On-LAN (I read it somewhere) but it still doesn't help. Since I can't connect to the internet I can't ping anything. Sorry.
    This is my MB: Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3L - RTL8168C(P) PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC
    EDIT: I booted LinuxMint (32 bit edition) and the internet worked just fine. It's weird because they both use the rp-pppoe plug-in. Is it 64 bit related? Is it my MB related? Any assistance would be great.

  • SQL Server Express 2005 to 2014 upgrade and Uninstallation issues

    We have client application running SQL Server Express that connects to a SQL Server 2012 server.  We are attempting to upgrade from Microsoft SQL 2005 express to Microsoft SQL Server 2014
    express – but are having difficulties – especially with uninstall.
    Our understanding is that we needed to follow the following steps:
        First we install Microsoft SQL 2005 express SP4 as required silently
    Start /wait SQLEXPR.exe /qn ACTION=UPGRADE INSTANCENAME="SQLEXPRESS" UPGRADE=SQL_Engine SAPWD=<password>
    SQLACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" SQLPASSWORD= SECURITYMODE="SQL"
        Then try upgrading with Microsoft SQL Server 2014 express, we use following command to do it silently
    SQLEXPR.exe /q /ACTION=upgrade /INSTANCENAME=SQLEXPRESS /ISSVCAccount="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS
    We see following
        In Control Panel -> Uninstall or change program, we have all the instances listed 2005, 2008, 2012 and 2014.
        How do we uninstall the instance?  , We try uninstalling 2014
    But it is not cleanly uninstalled.
    Questions:
        Is there any way for clean upgrade from Microsoft SQL 2005 express SP3 to Microsoft SQL 2014 express?
        Is there any specific steps suggested to uninstall upgraded SQL 2014 express from system?
        Are we doing anything wrong in commands for silent upgrade?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    After you perform an in-place upgrade it’s normal to find the binaries and references of the old version of SQL Server on the Start Menu and Control Panel -> Programs and Features. That’s by design. After you have successfully upgraded an instance, you can
    remove the old binaries.
    IfIf you find some remnants after uninstalling SQL Server 2014, please perform the following steps to manually uninstall it:
    1. Uninstall all SQL Server 2014 components you can using Control Panel -> Programs and
    Features
    2. Backup the registry.
    3. Delete the following keys in regedit:
        --HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server
        --HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer
    4. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall and delete
    all the sub-keys referencing SQL Server.
    5. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services and delete all the keys referencing
    SQL Server.
    6. Rename all the SQL Server folders in the computer like
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server and subfolders.
    Hope this helps.

  • OS 10.2.1 upgrade and bluebooth issues

    Since the recent upgrade the bluetooth connection to my car audio keeps falling out. Also when it reconnects the audio works but the data on the song, artist etc is not displayed on the car media screen. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

    After upgrading to 10.2.1 and also upgrading Say It,I did experience some bluetooth problems. After removing the Say it app my BlueTooth connection started working properly. After about a week I reinstall Say It and my BlueTooth problem started immediately. I am currently operating my phone without Say It and my phone and bluetooth connections works great.
    My wife and daughter have Z10s and my son has Z30. They do not use Say It and they have 10.2.1 There BlueTooth connections are working properly.

  • HPE430me graphics upgrade and cooling issues

    Hello,
    I have an HP Pavilion Elite 430me and wish to upgrade the installed Geforce 440 card to a Radeon 6870.
    I have 4 questions:
    1-Does the MS-7613 (Iona-GL8E) motherboard support PCIe 2.0 as it doesn't state it in the specifications page; it just says PCIe 16X? Bear in mind that it is an H57 based board.
    2-Does the case allow space for the 10" graphics card?
    3-Is the 460W PSU sufficient?
    4-I live in Egypt and the temperatures here is quite hot during much of the year and the case only comes with a single 80mm fan; is overheating a possibility here considering that a Core i7 870 is also present? Is there any way to install another fan on this case?
    Thanks
    This question was solved.

    1-Pcie 2.0 is backward compatible.  Therefore, it should work fine.
    I know, but I don't want to bottleneck my system...  I understand.  Using a PCIe 2.0 card will not bottleneck your system.
    2- I don't believe that this card will fit.  I normally recommend staying under 9".
    3-The HD Radeon 6870 requires a minimum of 500W.
    Could you recommend a good card at this size and power limit?  If you mean for a 500W PSU, I suggest upgrading to at least 550W if that is your plan.  This will give you many more options for cards.  I like Corsair and OCZ.  Both of the PSU's in the links have 120mm fans.  This will help with cooling the computer.
    As for a card, this is more difficult.  HP has their video cards made to their specs.  Therefore, it is difficult to know which cards would perform better.  However, I like XFX, BFG, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY in that order.  Here is a card that should perform to your needs.  This is based on a nVidia chip.  Also, here is a card based on an AMD/ATI chip.  Both cards are double profile (cover two slots).  This means that one of the PCIe x1 slots will be covered.  It is always a good idea to read as many of the customer reviews as possible.  They will give you the straight scoop without manufacturer hype.
    4-The AMD/ATI cards come with their Catalyst Control Center.  This software suite allows you to control the fan speed of the card.
    I meant the case: is the single 80mm fan sufficient, and if not, can I add more fans?  I understand.  Controlling the fan on the video card will help the entire computer.  The majority of heat can be generated by the card.
    If you have more questions let me know.

  • 1.1.4 upgrade and restore issue...

    Phone working fine this AM. Came into work put phone in cradle and it indicated an upgrade is available. Well the exact same thing happened as happened with 1.1.3 upgrade. Phone crashed completely. Now attempting restore of phone and it is "stuck" at the "Preparing iPhone for restore..." dialogue box (now for the 4th time and for at least 20 minutes this time).
    iTunes is the most current version as well as I have removed and reloaded iTunes twice now.
    Normally iTunes works fine. Any suggestions as I really do not feel like or have the time to drive the 50 miles to my "local" Apple store?

    I have almost exactly the same problem, although I get past the "prepare iPhone..." point and start the restore before I lock up. I did get a few hours use of the phone after the 1.1.4 upgrade (absolutely no problems with 1.1.3, I probably should have waited to upgrade) but after the 1.1.4 upgrade the iPod module was screwed up, not syncing many of my songs, show the wrong or blank album art in coverflow, and other glitches. Attempts to sync either failed with "Device Timed Out" (the iPhone would kill the connection in the middle of a sync) or finished without syncing (or sometimes removing) songs I had on the iPhone.
    I tried to restore but am now locked in "Recovery Mode" each time I try to restore. I am trying to do this through iTunes on Windows at my office (the only machine I have always synced with, although I do have a Mac at home). Right now iTunes itself is frozen in the restore cycle and I think I will have to hard kill it to start again.
