RV180 (wired only) problems with firmware 1.0.4.14, fails to boot correctly + LAN ports power off during boot (downgrading to 1.0.3.10 = fine again).

Hi All,
A few months ago when 1.0.4.14 was released I was quick to update to this version from 1.0.3.10 but very quickly ran into issues.
Bit of background info...  I am not doing anything complex with this box, basic IP4 network over all LAN ports, no VLANs, firewall enabled and allowing 2 port access rules to a static IP address.  Any static IPs are assigned manual at host level but all other devices receive DHCP IP addresses.  I don’t host VPN on this RV180 but I do with another.  Routing VPN has no issues. WAN is connected to another switch provided by my ISP who provides DHCP IP Address with their DNS etc.  Only LAN ports 1 and 2 are connected, port 1 to my Wireless AP (AP mode passing all requests to the RV180, DHCP etc.), port 2 connects to a 8 port Smart Switch (but all 'Smart' features are currently not in use, so basic switching only).  All other settings on the RV180 are on recommended defaults.
Everything is working fine on 1.0.3.10 but I have all kinds of issues after updating to 1.0.4.14.  Here are the actions and experiences I had...
1) Backup my RV180 config to txt file.
2) Navigate to the firmware upgrade page and follow steps to complete the upgrade process from 1.0.3.10 to 1.0.4.14.  *router does the normal process of upgrading*
3) RV180 reboots to complete but doesn’t come back up even after waiting 5-10 mins.   LAN ports enable during boot up (link lights on) but after about 2mins turn off (no link lights).  WAN light is on alongside the Power Light.
4) Power cycle even with rest... Same results.
5) Reset the RV180 to default settings.  I can sometimes get the unit to boot up and the LAN remains active and powered up.  The web UI is VERY slow compared with 1.0.3.10.  Internet sometimes works and sometimes doesn't (I would expect it all work without issue on default settings).
6) I repeat this a few times, various resets, powered off waiting periods, etc. but I always have issues.  I did manage to get some log file information and the Kernel appears in the Alert, Error and also the Warning logs (please see attached files).
7) I gave up at this point.  No major issues like this reported on the internet from a few google searches etc.  So I then reset to defaults (1.0.4.14), downgrade to 1.0.3.10 and finally reset to defaults again + restore backup config settings (with some manual changes).
The router has remained like this and seem to be working fine, but I would like any security improvements from 1.0.4.14 firmware on my device.
Anyone able to help, have the same issue or can advise me in any other ways?
I see 1.0.3.10 isn’t displayed as a firmware download on the standard support page for the RV180 now.  Only 1.0.2.6 and 1.0.4.14.  Do I need to downgrade again to 1.0.2.6 before upgrading to the latest version?

Hi,
I recently bought a RV180 router and immediately I encountered the same problem; practically I am not able to access the web GUI.
The PC is directly connected to the router, nothing else is connected; the TCP/IP configuration is as follows:
PC: 192.168.1.100
RV180: 192.168.1.1
GATEWAY: 192.168.1.1
SUBNET MASK: 255.255.255.0
Once the router is turned on, the power LED flashes fastly, the Ethernet LED is on but after few minutes it disappears and the PC detects a disconnection of the Ethernet cable.
The router is not pingable and, as I said, the web interface is not reachable.
I have tried to power cycle the router, to reset it (pressing the reset button for more than 3 second and for more than one minute), to access the rescue mode and download a new firmware through TFTP, but nothing worked.
Few times, after many boot and reset trials,I was able to access the web interface and in one of these occasions I updated the firmware to 1.0.4.14 but once the router is powered off the problem arises again at the next power on.
I have not tried yet to downgrade to an older firmware version.
Can you suggest any solution? thank you.

    Hello experts,
    I have read in this forum that there are problems with firmware version 4.20.5 for the WRT54G.
    Is this so? And if so, where might one find the details?
    Thanks.

    There is now a new firmware update available for the AirportExtremeBase. I had a similar problem as all of you, so I hope this will fix the problem!

    I bought a new MacBook Pro several months ago.  I keep losing my wireless connection (my wife, sitting several feet from me has no problem with her iPad2).  I find the quickest fix ix to turn Airport off and back on.  Very annoying.   Suggestions please?

    What kind of wireless router are you using? more importantly which protocol are you connecting with? Are you and wife connecting using the 2.4Ghz band? or do you have a dual band router that offers the 5GHZ band?  Are you both connecting vie 802.11 a/b/g or n?
    The best thing to do is to go into SYSTEM PREFERENCES and select NETWORK, then select AIRPORT and click on the ADVANCED button.
    Under the AirPort tab you should delete all the preferred networks and only add back in your network with the proper security settings and passwords.
    If you hold down the option key on your keyboard while clicking on the airport icon at the top on your macbook pro. you'll seesome data that will tell you what band and mode you're connecting at, as well as in an indication of signal strength (RSSI) if you write down and post back that information it'll tell us what's going on.

    I'm having problems with iPhoto and the facebook set-up.  Every time I attempt to do so it says an error has occured and try again later.  I have not seen a solution posted.  Therefore, how does one contact Apple to solve the problem?  I'm new to the world of iMac but I find it a bit frustrating trying to solve basic issues/problems:(

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,

  • What is the problem with the newest version of iTunes (Failed to install - error 7

    What is the problem with the newest version of iTunes (Failed to install - error 7 & missing MSVCR80.dll) - the DLL is not missing.  tgried to install today and it failed - what a waste.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall go to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • 5300: Problem with firmware upgrade

    Hi,
    I have Nokia 5300 Xpressmusic with firmware version 4.7. I have recently download Nokia Software Updater and tried to update my phone via USB cable connection. The software runs fine, it identifies my phone correctly, checks for update & tells me that V5.5 is available & downloads it successfully. The problem is that when I press the 'Upgrade' button, 1st it reboots my phone in 'Test Mode', then the 'Preparing installation' window remains on the screen for a couple of minutes & then it gives out an error saying "Connection to phone lost". I've tried reconnecting my cable but it still gives out the same error. Fortunately when I took the batteries out & reinserted & started my phone, it turned on successfully with the previous firmware version. But I still cant get it upgraded. I switched to another PC & tried it there but it still gives out the same error at the same stage. Kindly help me out with this, what is going on here?

  • Reporting a problem with firmware and secondary ca...

    Hi there,
    I would like to report a problem with the 202.12.11 firmware for the Nokia E75.
    My secondary camera works fine with the normal camera application until I make a video call. The picture for the video call using the secondary camera is just white and blank.
    After making the video call, the secondary camera won't work with the default camera application. I can switch between video and image mode but all I see is my camera wallpaper.
    It's definitely not the hardware because the secondary camera will work again after reinstalling the firmware .... until I use it in a video call that is!
    I have also had no problems with video calls using the older firmware.
    Please advise and I hope you can issue a patch soon.

    I had the exact same problem.  I eventually used their "Express Lane" problem reporting, and they refunded me the cost of the episode.  (???) Um, hello, that's not what I was asking for... can I just have my episode #3 please?  Hopefully they'll get around to uploading the right show eventually, and possibly not use the Swedish Chef as an intern to manage their upload queue.  #borkborkbork

  • Problem with firmware nokia 6680

    I'm italian and I don't speak very well english, but I try it :-P
    I have two nokia 6680, today i try to upgrade my firmware ...
    first phone all ok, nokia updater download the lastet firmware italian and istall it and all ok
    in the second nokia upgrade download ENGLISH firmware (all work but I'm italian)
    In wich mode I update my second phone with nokia italian firmware ??
    Excusme for my English !!!
    Thank's to all

    jjegen seems to have differently than I. From what I see, tapping on the dialler and contacts on homescreen does nothing?
    Your phone settings have had trouble. I would suggest restoring factory settings.
    Go to MainMenu>green button>you will see the dialler. Type in *#7780# and enter your security code.
    If that does not work:
    Soft reset is *#7370# - this deletes all data on phone memory so make sure you have a backup.
    OR
    A hard reset (x6, 5800 and 5230 only) is done by the following (warning, this deletes all data on your phone):
    1.) Turn off the phone and remove battery for 5min
    2.) Reinsert battery
    3.) Press and hold the green, red and camera buttons. DO NOT LET GO.
    4.) While holding the three buttons, press the power key to boot the phone up.
    5.) Keep on pressing until you see the country selection screen.
    A correctly done hard reset would show you that everything on the phone (contacts, messages, calendar entries, etc) would be deleted. So it is advisable to back them up. Upon restoration, do not restore settings or files if possible.

  • Problem with firmware restoration CD

    I have a dead MacBook Pro (mid-2010 15" i5) that went through a failed firmware update. I found and burned the Firmware Restoration CD 1.7 that is needed to reset the firmware.
    The problem I have is with the procedure itself as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL77
    7. Turn on the computer and continue holding the Power button. The sleep LED will blink rapidly, then slowly, then rapidly (3 quick blinks, 3 slow blinks, 3 quick blinks). On Macs that don't have a sleep LED, tones are used instead. Hold down the power button until you hear 3 long tones, then 3 short tones, then 3 long tones.
    8. Insert the Firmware Restoration CD while the lights are blinking or tones sounding, then release the Power button. A long tone is played once the recovery process has started.
    The MBP does not have this behaviour with the sleep LED. I hold down the power button, the sleep LED flashes rapidly for about 1-2 seconds and the I hear the boot chime and the MBP tries to boot normally from the HD. If I try to insert the CD while the light is flashing, the MBP just spits it out.
    What is the right procedure to restore the firmware with this particular MBP model? Thank you!

    The MacBook Pro 15" Mid 2010 has a model identifier "MacBookPro 6,2" and isn't listed at the link you provided, it's the wrong firmware your using.
    Here's the correct version

  • Problem with firmware 1.2.1

    I updated my 5th generation 80GB iPod (actually 5.5) over the weekend, and now I see some erratic behavior. For certain songs, the iPod simply stops playing the song and gets stuck at that point. I can still move around, and go to the next/previous song, so it's not a total freeze, but the iPod refuses to play the affected song.
    Has anyone else noticed this behavior? It has already happened twice, with different songs, but always the same songs, so it's not a random issue but probably a problem with the mp3 files themselves, even though they play perfectly on iTunes.

    Sorry for long post, Probably help though
    Hey, i've had problems with the new firmware (1.2). I have a 60gb which came with firmware 1.0 , when i updated it to 1.2 i noticed performance problems. When I first did it i found that switching songs was sluggish. It also, when left for awhile in pause mode when plugging back in it would freeze. Would have to turn off and back on untill start playing. I decide to talk to buddies who also have fifth gen ipods and they never heard of that. But all of them have had problems with the 1.2 update for playing videos over 1.5 hours.. When watching files over that length the ipod will reset itself. Also said it would do that while playing songs. I decided to downgrade my ipod to fimware 1.0 and seemed to improve it's performance. I think the new update has a problem with the 60gb ipod's cause i downgraded my buddies as well and his is perfect now. I just found the updater from 2005-11-17 on the internet through google. Prob why they don't have 60gb's ipods anymore. Also heard video playing problems with 30gb's too.
