RV082 Firmware Upgrade Breaks WAN

I have upgrade the firmware on several RV082 (and RV042) model routers, and all of them have had subsequent WAN connectivity loss. The WAN works for a while, then stops working until the router is restarted, then fails shortly thereafter. I would assume it was some configuration corruption on incompatibility with the upgrade, but the symptom has been universal. EVERY 2.x upgrade I've made to a RV082 or RV042 router has exhibited this symptom. Reverting to the 1.3.98-tm firmware fixes the issue. Has anyone else had this trouble? Any solution?

Update - I have now seen this behavior with over a dozen RV042/RV082 devices. Solutions are:
Downgrading the RV082 to the 1.3.9.8 firmware
Downgrading the RV042 to the 1.3.12.6 firmware
Replacing the unit with the version 3 hardware (RV042v3, RV082v3). I have done this in three cases.
In all cases, these actions fix the WAN access issues for LAN computers.
Some additional details:
Nearly all of my LAN clients in these situations are Mac OS X computers.
Not all RV042 routers with 1.3.13+ firmware, or RV082 routers with the 2.0+ firmware have this issue, but more than 75% seem to develop the problem, and the problem happens soon after the upgrade to the firmware, or if the device shipped with the newer firmware.
All devices that have the problem have one or more VPN Gateway-Gateway tunnels defined and active, but have a variety of other settings.
The symptom of the problem is that LAN computers have no problems with LAN IP communications, including access to the router administration web pages, but have intermittent or no connectivity to the WAN. The symptom is first observed as DNS timeouts, then can progress to total loss of WAN connectivity, but this more severe situation is not as common. Sometimes renewing the DHCP lease reactivates connectivity, sometimes restarting the router is required.
I have tried reloading firmware, factory defaulting devices, and not setting any settings except WAN IP information. The symptom was still present unless one of the above three solution actions was taken.
The v3 hardware and software is vastly improved, and I recommend this solution for anyone experiencing this problem, and possibly as a general recommendation. Performance of faster WAN connections is improved with the new hardware. Users that require the improvements in the firmware versions that exhibit this symptom should upgrade to the v3 hardware.

  • RV082 firmware/upgrade problems

    We have an older (version 1) RV082 running firmware 1.3.6. After upgrading to firmware 2.0.2.01-tm the web management would not work (page not available). Even though the web management was not working the configured VPNs were working.   After resetting the router to factory defaults web management returned, but it stopped working as soon as I restored the router configuration.
    I ended up reverting to the older firmware and restoring the router settings.
    1) Is there a router setting I should change before upgrading in order to enable web management?
    2) In the event I need to replace the router is there a utility that will convert the saved configuration file?  I have found mention of a conversion utility but it seems to have disappeared from the Cisco web sites.

  • RV082 Firmware upgrade v4.04 fails

    I have a rv082 small business router and the current firmware will not apply. I downloaded the v4.04 firmware update and tried to apply it yet the update does not seem to work. I have downloaded it a second time and used the UPDATE FIRMWARE button to load and apply but no change.  The router is:
    Serial Number : DEZ006202196
    Firmware version : 2.0.0.19-tm (Feb 20 2009 15:15:20)
    Any suggestions on how to update it?
    Thanks,

    Your trying to use the wrong firmware.  v4.04 is for Version 3 of the RV082.
    you need: v2.0.2.01-tm

  • Firmware upgrade for Officejet 4500 G510n-z

    Please. i need the firmware upgrade for Officejet 4500 G510n-z or at the original firmware. my machine is acting uncommon. The paper feeder process start and page stop in the middle.
    thanks for all your help.

    Yes, there should have been either a firmware update/patch, or a full recall on this device. 
    The software setup and configuration is bad enough for one humble computer, but when used as
    intended with multiple devices it's an absolute headache. 
    I am constantly having to unplug the printer because the machine has decided it needs to rest for a bit. Okay,
    everybody deserves a break now and then. But it goes into coma mode and I could be jesus himself and the power
    or any other button) still would not wake it. 
    I would get into the rest but I'm not getting a helpful vibe from the forum; it's more defensive of a product which, apparently just under 5000 people have come by to check on. My friend at Microsoft talked to an HP engineer, who
    laughed and gave us the fix. 
    Uploading to FedEx-Kinko's is the better option. 

  • SPA112 firmware upgrade from 1.0.1 to 1.2.1 kills the SPA

    I took a brand-new, unconfigured SPA112 out of the box, plugged it into DHCP-enabled network, noted it was running v1.0.1 firmware and attempted a firmware upgrade to 1.2.1 via the web management utility.
    After reporting a successful upgrade there was no further response from the SPA112 to HTTP requests, neither was there any response to pings. ARP requests are responded to successfully. The IVR works (as well as the IVR ever works) until I selected to perform a factory reboot at which point the IVR stopped responding as well. Holding the reset button for 20sec does nothing useful. It's dead, Jim.
    I've had this experience on another SPA112 as well under similar circumstances although there is nothing in the Release Notes for v1.2.1 to say that such an upgrade does not work.
    My questions:
    1)Is there any way of recovering these devices or do I need to send them back to Cisco?
    2) How am I supposed to perform such a firmware upgrade?

    Hi Matthew,
    I tried upgrading the firmware upgrade from v1.0.1 to v 1.2.1 and I had the same problem. The device just stopped responding. I tried that in a lab and I figured out what exactly to do when you get in to a problem like that. So lets start off once again.
    Snce SPA112 must get an IP first through a DHCP on WAN port. Connect the SPA 112 device according to the instructins told in this article till the step 3.
    http://www6.nohold.net/CiscoSB/Loginr.aspx?login=1&pid=4&app=search&vw=1&articleid=2775
    Once you access the web GUI of SPA112 follow the contents of the following article and upgrade the firmware
    http://www6.nohold.net/CiscoSB/Loginr.aspx?login=1&pid=4&app=search&vw=1&articleid=2676
    In your case I believe the window got stucked at the point when it says "The upgrade is successful" and then there was no further response to HTTP requests.
    Restart the device and see if it works or not. If it does not then log in to the router web GUI and navigate to the ARP table and see what are the VLAN assigned to the IP address.
    NOTE: Both the router and SPA should be in the same VLAN. This way only the device will respond to the HTTP requests. If they are in a different VLAN's, navigate to the VLAN and disable the LAN memberships. For example there are two VLAN ID 1 and 100. Disable the LAN ports for the ID 100 and only enable it for 1.
    Navigate to the ARP table again and refresh it. Both the IP addresses should be in the same VLAN. If yes. Access the SPA112 with an IP address assigned to it again and navigate to Administration > Firmware Upgrade. You will see the firmware of the device has been upgraded.
    (optional) Upgrade the firmware again. This time, it will go through and the device will restart.
    Let me know if you still need any help. 

  • Bulk Firmware Upgrade Option in Systems Settings Tab

    Has anyone tried to use the bulk firmware upgrade option in the Systems Settings tab?  I was able to get all the set up done and chose the 8 cameras that I needed to upgrade.  The job seemed to finish successfully.  However when I checked the firmware on the 8 cameras that needed the upgrade, THEY WERE NOT UPGRADED!!  Instead of upgrading the cameras selected via checkbox, the job chose the first 8 cameras on the original 2600 model list, completely ignoring the cameras that I had actually SELECTED FOR THE UPDATE!!! 
    Is anyone else having trouble with this dialog?
    Cisco, can you repair this ASAP!!!
    Thanks.

    Kim,
    We've experienced the same problem and it is very frustrating. We had to modify the bugfix workaround because it didn't quite work for us either. Here's what we found.
    - It doesn't matter if you sort by column name or not; the utility will randomly pick a camera from the filtered list.
    - If you write a filter that captures all of the cameras you need to update, and update all of them, it will update as expected.
    - If cameras are failing using the utility, check to see if you can install manually. You may be getting bit by the "Bad Magic Number" bug, which requires you to set your camera name back to it's default.
    We found ourselves updating all the cameras for a specific location with the same model all at once. We'd schedule a brief downtime with the department and do it all at once. Of course, we tested this in a lab environment first to make sure the firmware didn't break anything.
    As for "Not In Recommended Firmware", this worked for us on 4500E cameras as long as we specified what our "Recommended" firmware was under the "Manage" firmware tab.
    This was all using 7.2.0. We haven't installed any firmware updates since going to 7.2.1.

  • Restore RV082 firmware v2 Config to RV082 fv4 Box?

    I have an old RV082 with firmware version 2.0.0.19. I want to replace it with a new RV082 firmware version 4.0.2.08.
    I exported the fv2 config but can't restore it on the fv4. I get "invalid file type" error.
    The fv4 box is looking for a .config file and the fv2 box saves as a .exp file (I think that's it...I don't have it in front of me. It's different anyway).
    Any solutions to this other than manually re-entering all the settings?

    I was able to convert the file and do a restore on the new router (RV082 V03). However, when I view the System Summary screen and look at WAN Status, WAN1 information (IP Address, Gateway, etc).isn't showing. It's all zeros.
    But, I can go to the Setup screen and access the configuration for WAN1 and I see the correct settings there.
    That normal? Shouldn't I see the WAN1 settings on the summary screen?

  • HDMI output not working since firmware upgrade

    I would appreciate troubleshooting tips for getting the HDMI output to work. I just tried it recently for the first time in a long while, approximately 4 weeks after doing the firmware update to 2.2. When I did it before, plugging in the HDMI cable would automatically start output to my HD TV. Now that is no longer the case. Changing the HDMI output from "Auto" to "720p" does not make a difference either.
    Otherwise, everything works well and I've been satisfied with my Creative 7 to date. I have installed several apps so it could be that there is a conflict and nothing related to the firmware upgrade.
    Any troubleshooting suggestions would be appreciated.

    Well I've received my refurbished device for about a week now. The HDMI still doesn't work either with Zii Video or a 3rd party app MoboPlayer. ?I am tempted to reinstall the firmware upgrade again. Is it ok to try this or is it only a one time attempt?
    Perhaps this should be a separate thread but are any of the "Phone 2 SD" apps compatible with the Ziio 7? Whenever I use the "Move to SD card" option, there is still no program moved to the external SD card. ?I have a Ziio 7 with 6 GB of memory as well as a 6GB micro SD card. ?My memory settings are:
    - SD Card: total space - 5.43GB; Available space - 5.43GB
    - Device media storage: Total space - 2.48GB; Available Space - 2.3 GB
    - System storage: Total Space - .97 GB; Available space - .59GB
    In Settings>Applications>Manage Applications, the "On SD Card" tab lists several programs lists several apps but none of them are actually on the external SD card.

  • Sky Router firmware upgraded - can no longer login with credentials

    I usually have no problems accessing my sky router (white Sky Hub with ADSL) via the page 192.168.0.1 however I tried to login the other day and was greeted with an updated looking summary screen - all very nice I thought, let's go and explore! However when I put in the usual details - username: admin, password: sky I get prompted to input my details again which is very odd. Now I know that I am the only one who accesses the router in this way as my flatmate has never logged in and probably never will so I can only assume the firmware upgrade has caused the password/username to change. I logged in the other week and the password is saved in my browser so I am sure I am not making any mistake here. I have tried in chrome and IE just in case but I have the same issue in both. Has the new firmware brought a new default password? I cannot find any reference to this anywhere on this site so it seems unlikely. I would rather not reset my router to default settings as I have devices with static IP addresses and port forwarding setup that will take me some time to reconfigure. I don't think there is any feature to backup the config unless you are actually logged in to the router but would love to be worng about this. I am guessing I will have to bite the bullet and reset to factory defaults but would welcome any help or suggestions if possible?

    After review the events of the morning.....
    I normally keep my routers in the basement where my eth jacks all hub.  High on a shelf, I got reasonable coverage on 2.4Ghz even on the second floor.  I went to this router for the Dual mode, but found the 5Ghz didn't make it sufficiently well to the second floor.  So it was moved to the first floor, on a counter.  That morning the router started acting up a bit, not bringing an iphone online.  It was looked at - and a couple of post cards that had been placed on top, removed.  Air flow was not blocked around the sides in any way - just a few pieces of card stock on top to interfere with convection off the top.  
    1.  There is no way to look at temperature - maybe the device doesn't even know its own temp.
    2.  There is no fan that I can discern.  Clearly, creating a device that is designed to sit on a flat surface in a home environment ought to take into consideration "normal impediments to air flow".   Temp controlled fans is simple, well proven tech.
    3.  This design is small, has TWO radios, sits horizonal (thus is going to have lousy convection) - seems to me an engineer ought to have given more thought to not only providing the user with easy to obtain data (temp), alternative methods (fan/vertical mounting) and/or self-protection (to hot, I'm shutting down rather than corrupt my database).
    Having spent millions on Cisco gear in my career, I would have hoped that Cisco+Linksys would have a little more Cisco and a little less Linksys.
