So slow to bring firmware updates E3000

Will this router ever see a firmware update so that we can have some additional functionality? The version of Twonky Media server that was bundled with this router was old to begin with, and now we are stuck with it? I tried the E4200 but it just kept spinning my drive that's parked in a ThermalTake BlackX, at least the 3000 doesn't do that, but when can we expect some new firmware, it's been 8 months. I used to love Linksys, but with this kind of support I may have to move to a different brand, and I bet I am not alone. If you do release firmware please make sure it doesn't break the E3000 like you broke the 4200.

As per the issue that you explained for that concern we would like to know that at present which router is you are using.... If it is E3000 then please inform us the firmware version of the Router...
If it is E4200 than you need to download Cisco Connect 1.4 from the Cisco website (homesupport.cisco.com ) which contains the Virtual USB setup for the E4200 routers... Then only Your USB hard drive or memory stick can be installed and shared on multiple computers using the same Cisco Connect setup.... There after they never be slow as well...

Slow unlock after firmware update

Hi all,
I updated my iPhone to the latest f/w recently and now more often than not I experience long delays when waking up the phone from standby. It may take 15-20 seconds for the unlock screen to come up after I press the Home or Sleep button. Then it also takes like 10 seconds before I can actually move the slider to unlock it!! Very frustrating! It only seems to happen after a long sleep. If I try to put it to sleep/wake it after that, no delays at all.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Alex

Wow, that helped!! Thank you so much, Tamara!!! I enjoy my iPhone again
Just wondering how reset (which I never did) is different from turn off/on? Switching the phone off did not help at all.

Slow animations after ram update???

Hi everyone,
Last week I updated my Imac I5 from the standard 4GB ram to 12GB ram. (Added two 4GB ram bars). I use Lion.
Before the machine was superfast, now it still is but the animations go slower. (for example: switching to fullscreen apps goes "laggy". When I empty the bin. The prompt window pops up laggy etc...) I had a macbook pro before also with Mac OS X Lion, i updated the ram too and became also laggy. After a while it disappeared. For no particular reason.
Anyone else who got this problems? Maybe it has nothing to do with the ram update, i don't now. Please help me out.
(i did the latest firmware update last week)
Thx in advance,
Simon

I formatted the Imac, and installed fresh copy of Lion. No timemachine backup. And it all works like a charm.
The only problem is that I want to put my bookmarks of Safari back and my mail preferences + stored mails.
I looked in the timemachine backup folder on my disk but i don't find a thing. Please help.
I don't want to restore the whole computer because then it becomes very slow like before (firmware update caused this)
Thanks in advance & please help

E3000 firmware update fixes.

Hey all,
I just wanted to know if anyone noticed that their E3000 has actually been working to its standards and price after the new firmware update (build 4). Just wanted to know the concensus, because I am getting flawless signal strength, no drops, burst speed is amazing, the heat problem has gone away (no joke..im hoping this isnt just mine). Anyone have an input on if the new firmware update has helped?

Yes, that is what I am observing too (Auto 20 or 40 but no 40 only). Most of my adapters are N 2.4. It is a shame I cannot pull more than 130-150 Mbps on these as "Auto" does not seem to work properly to give me 40 (it is always stuck on channel 1 at 20 MHz). This may seem insignificant, but not when you are trying to transfer large files within the network. I am also unable to get my full ISP provisioned throughput (43 down/35 up) at 130-150 Mbps.
With the wrt610n, I was able to get 270-300 easily by forcing 40 only.
It is a shame that Cisco's top of the line router does not have the basic functionalities needed.
You are right about 5 GHz. It is very good. But I only have one 5 Ghz adapter that I use for work VPN.

Intel iMac 17"s slow - even after SU and firmware update

Just got 3 Intel iMacs (w/512MB RAM) to upgrade 3 users at my company, and have found basic startup (and later, opening apps) to be cripplingly slow. I have already:
Run Software Update;
Run the EFI Firmware update;
Repaired permissions;
Run Repair Disk vis "fsck -fy" from the console...
The only things I have not messed with are the USB peripherals.
Any ideas?

If you have the 17" iMacs with the 1.83 GHz chip you don't really even have 512MB of RAM. That model shares RAM with the video chip, which uses a minimum of 80 MB. Leaving only 432 MB, at most, for the Mac OS and any software you are running.
If you are seeing the spinning beachball of death you don't have enough physical RAM and the Mac is using virtual memory and constantly accessing the hard drive. You won't be happy until you have a minimum of 1 GB.
Get more RAM.

Will there be an E3000 firmware update anytime soon?

I wonder if an updated firmware for E3000 would come out. Current one have few web-interface issues at QoS, DHCP, Custom Routes and WiFi setup pages.
Also would be nice if there would be an option to turn off Guest SSID for WiFi.
BTW your forum does not work corectly with Opera.

Please let me know the current firmware version on the router? If it is the old one then try to download the last version from the Linksys/Cisco website.
After download here is the link to upgrade the firmware:
http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=e9c2361ee7974d75913e61386a712188_4030.xml&pid=80&r...
After upgrading the firmware it is recommended to reset the router. Here are the steps to reset:
Push the reset button on router for 30 seconds, turn off the router wait for 30 seconds and then power it on. Power light should blink when you perform the reset process.
Once you have successfully reset your Gateway, you will need to reconfigure the settings again and the check the status...

Slow Booting time after installing MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.0 on 13 Inches Mac 2010 model

I'm experiencing a slow boot time after my computer installed a MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.0 itself on 13 Inches 2010 model, how to downgrade or fix it?
My computer is starting 2 times slower then it should be, why Apple done this to me?
Please help who really know somthing about Macs.

I have the same problem, especially when I open my laptop from sleep. It takes at least 2 minutes for the computer Internet connection to work.
Never had that problem prior to the last firmware update 2.7.
Is there a way to revert back to 2.6?

Music player slowness after firmware update? (6300...

after experiencing problems with wonky playlists and a new 2gb micro sd card, the whole slowness of opening anything on the 6300 music player started to bug me. after reading some of this forum i assumed i'd 'upgraded' to a not-quite-so-hot-but-cheap memory card (2gb micro sd, sandisk). however, i just put the old 1gb card back in (kingston) and the slowness is still there!
so it occurred to me, i also updated the phone firmware (to 5.5) the same day i got the new card.... could this be the source of the slowness? is there a war to uninstall the update and go back to 4.7 (or whatever it was)?
thanks

The music playr of my phone had slowen down after the firmware update...& since yesterday when I start it, it updates library(which takes a heck of the time) & after that it says no music files found, when there are music files on the phone...

My Xperia S (LT26i) firmware update problem and slowing problem

Hi, I have Xperia S (LT26i) and i tried to update my phone to 6.2.b.1.96 firmware using PC Companion bu couldn't accomplished. It gave a error after long pressing the volume down button and starting the firmware update process. So i had to turn back to old firmware. Secondly my phone is so slow. Facebook is opening approximately 20-25 secs. and gives "facebook is not responding" messages while using. Same is for telephone and browser. I factory resetted the phone a couple months ago and i dont want to reset the phone regularly. Can you give me an advice? Thanks in advance...

A clean update
Performing a system repair using PC Companion - This will factory reset your phone and erase all data
Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the on screen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process
If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP

WRT350n Firmware Update 1.03.7 - Web page load really slow after update

Well I updated my WRT350N with the new firmware, but now web pages load very slowly, and streaming video is even slower. Before the update it was blazing fast. I run a mixed network of wireless N and G. Both Wireless N connections connect at 200 or higher Mbps now, which is a great improvement.
Anybody got any ideas why web pages and steaming video run so slow now.
Also downloading files never goes above 30 kb/sec now.
I use comcast cable and downloads were so fast before.
Thanks in advance.

check the download speed and the streaming video when the computer is directly connected to the modem

E3000 problems after firmware update

It seems internet browsing doesn't work after the firmware update. Everything else works , aim steam msn, bittorent but anything http related will not work.

on both computers i have run some tests
ping 127.0.0.1 -fine
ping 192.168.2.1 - fine (gateway)
ping 192.168.2.3 (another computer) fine
ping 192.168.2.254 dsl modem (fine)
ping www.comcast.net fail
I have thought it could be the DSL modem but it works just fine when i use my Belkin pre-n router and the Belkin never needs a power cycle.
I can get HTTP functions when i reboot the router.
I have also set up a DYNDNS to see if a friend could ping me and connect to a server for me thru my IP address and it was successful its just websites and this is happening on all the computers and playstations (theres 2)

27" iMac very sluggish after recent software/firmware update

I bought my 27" iMac (2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, 4GB RAM) maybe 6-7 months ago...and it has had NO problems. Even after updating to Lion. Smooth.
But after the most recent graphics firmware update (Feb 29) and software update (late Feb/ealry March 2012...can't remember exact date)...now my iMac is so sluggish! Running more than one application really makes my iMac run slow. And I'm not talking about Photoshop...I'm talking about Firefox, Safari, Mail, iTunes. Basic ones. Especially bad when I play video...very choppy.
Any clue what's going on? I ran Disk Utilitiy (all good, repaired permissions), Clean My Mac, CCleaner...all say good and healthy. So I am at a loss.
Any help would be greatly be appreciated. I'm still under warranty...but I don't think I need to bring it in do I?
Thanks!

Macbook PRO EFI 2.3 firmware update broken

EFI 2.3 firmware update broke the network again. EFI 2.2 fixed what was broken in 2.0 & 2.1 but the
same problem is back in 2.3. Laptop wakes up and I have to wait about a minute for things to kick-in.
I am able to use utilities using system calls (ping, dig, etc) but Mail.app, Safari or anything else for
that matter is reporting that network is down (not sure if these are using an internal caching daemon
or something similar). On the initial 2.3 update the screen wake-up was also broken, I would touch
the pad or a key but the screen would remain dim and would light up after 30 or so seconds. Applying
2.3 twice fixed this issue. Following is an entry from system.log, you can see that the laptop is trying
to connect to the AP twice:

At one point I though it was Parallels that's breaking this, but disable/restart of Parallels did not help.
Any hits ?

Wow! Exact same issues here. Exactly! The same slow screen-wakeup and screen-saver freezes.
Additionally, any time I try to view video in a web browser, it freezes (other things seems to do it too, but the web video (e.g. youtube) was one thing which was a reliable/reproducible cause of crash). BUT, when I use gfxcardstatus to force Discrete graphics only, then it seems to work fine. Manually switching it to Integrated (with gfxcardstatus), or allowing it to automatically switch, results in an immediate freeze. The freeze is not a kernel panic; the mouse still moves, but the interface is totally unresponsive. Well, technically almost totally unresponsive: Ctrl-Eject did EVENTUALLY (like, after minutes!) bring up the shutdown dialog on at least one occasion. But that's largely irrelevant, I can't work like that.
I had real trouble trying to install the EFI 2.3 update - in fact, I have not managed to install it according to Software Update.
After "installing" EFI 2.3, upon restart I get a bad chime (the sad-Mac sort of noise) rather than the usual start-up chime. Then there's a noise as though it's trying to spin up a hard disk or something, which abruptly cuts off though. It does that a few times (brmmmm,chk...brmmmm, chk, ...). I force-restarted it with the power button, held Cmd-Opt-P-R and then it did it's usual restart, and then booted. But Software Update says that the EFI 2.3 firmware is not installed.
Sounds like a hardware issue to me. Any thoughts?

Macbook 2008 4,1 serious problems after 10.6.8 and 1.4 firmware update

I'm having a problem with my 2008 2.4Ghz Macbook. After doing a fresh install of 10.6.0 with a Retail DVD, the MB was working perfectly, absolutely no problems at all. I then ran Software Update and installed all the recommended updates to 10.6.8, and I only noticed in passing that there was a Firmware update to do too, as reported by Software Update. I ran that as well and, IIRC, it was applied after fully updating to 10.6.8 and after rebooting twice. The MB rebooted, ran the Firmware update (which seemed to complete fine, as the progress bar completed normally against the grey screen), then rebooted. Again, IIRC, after running the Firmware update, and I'm now at 10.6.8, I started a Repair Permissions and left the MB for a while. It was the next day, maybe 15 hours later, when I went back to the MB and it was in Sleep. I pressed a key to wake it and this is when the weirdness started.
The screen was "fuzzy", sort of out of focus, though I could see the desktop, and what I could see was: the Disk Utility window open on Repair Permissions (which had completed normally) and several Vertical Segmented Bars running across the bottom part of the screen, at about the height where the Firmware Update progress bar was. These bars were filling in from left to right. IIRC, it may have looked a little like when you wake from Deep Sleep (or Hibernate, or whatever it was called). Like when you Wake from Sleep after the battery has run out and then you plug the AC adapter in.
Anyway, before the Vertical Segmented Bars progress was completed, the screen went black. Pressing keys didn't bring the desktop back.
I did a forced shutdown, reset the SMC, then rebooted. No startup chime. The Superdrive, hard drive and fans spun up, but the screen remained black. After a few reboots, I got a desktop back, and tried to reinstall from both an external HD (with Restored disk image) and the Retail Snow Leo DVD. Both times, the MB booted to the startup screen: with the external HD, I held down Option and chose the Snow Leo install; with the DVD, the MB started normally while I held down the C key. The boot started from the HD and the DVD, but after about 60 seconds, with Apple logo and the spinning "cog wheel", the screen went black. And seemed to shut down. With the external FW hard drive, the drive made a loud click, its LED went off, then it came back on after a few seconds, as if it had lost all power to it, then the LED lit up when power returned to it from the shut down MB. Anyway, the installs failed.
I then attached the 2.4 MB to another MB (2.1) in Target Disk Mode and it booted fine into TDM. It showed up on the 2.1's desktop, I ran Check Disk and it checked out okay. I then looked under Startup Disk and the 2.4's disk was listed there, with 10.6.8.
I then booted the 2.1 from the 2.4's disk and it booted fine. I ran check Permissions, and a huge list of permissions to repair came out. At this point, I've left things as they are. The 2.1 is booted from the 2.4, the latter used as external boot HD.
I then replaced hard drive and RAM. Tried to boot from DVD and install, got to Apple logo and spinning cog wheel, but after about 2 minutes the screen went black.
I then connected an external monitor and rebooted from the DVD. The external display received a video signal and I got to the Snow Leopard install screen. All this time the Macbook display has remained BLACK.
I went to Disk Utility and reformatted the new drive, then started the installation, which completed fine. The Macbook runs normally connected to the external display.
Any thoughts?
Why would the Macbook display work fine at boot (Apple logo, etc.), but then cut out after about 2-3 minutes?
Why would the Macbook screen remain black while I got a video signal on an external monitor?
Does this sound heat-related in some way? I should note that while booting from the DVD and now installing Snow Leopard, the fans are going pretty fast.
I just want to point out that this was an absolutely pristine, impeccable Macbook until these recent problems. It is in fantastic condition, none of the usual chips out of the top case and trackpad area. After the latest fresh install of 10.6.0 it was perfect upon reboot. Fast, perfect Airport and Bluetooth, FW and USB worked perfectly with a FW drive and USB mouse I hooked up. The update to 10.6.8 via Software Update seemed to complete fine.
Then all the problems started AFTER THE FIRMWARE UPDATE.
I don't know how much stock can be put in the firmware update being the cause of the problems, but the sequence here would bear that out. These are also somewhat unusual problems, at least in my experience.
One of the odd things was when I first went to wake the Macbook after the firmware update: the "fuzzy", out-of-focus screen and the segmented progress bars. And it was just before the segmented bars completed progress from left to right that the display cut out and went black. And from that time on, I've had the aforementioned problems.
Any ideas or links to similar problems would be greatly appreciated, e.g. possibly firmware related, or where the Macbook screen works but goes black after a couple minutes. And now that I've been able to connect to an external monitor, it would seem that the video signal is okay too.
Thanks.

Just to update.
After leaving the Macbook unplugged and without battery for a few days. I reset the SMC and, with no battery installed, I've just now rebooted and:
1) the first time, it booted, but no chime, and when the display turned on, once again I got the "out of focus" desktop AND the segmented vertical bars on the desktop (and the bars were filling in from right to left); the display went black after about 10-15 seconds;
2) I shut down and swapped some different RAM, then reset the SMC again and booted without battery. This time I got the boot chime and the Macbook booted to the Apple logo screen and spinning cogwheel. After about 2 minutes, the cogwheel stopped spinning, as if to boot to the desktop, but then the display went black. The front light started to pulse after about 10 seconds, and the Macbook appeared to be in Sleep.
3) I woke the Macbook from sleep by hitting a few keys and this time it went to the desktop. This is the first time it's gone to the desktop since the problem started.
I had enough time to see that everything appeared normally on the desktop, such as the time and date, Airport was connected, etc. And then the display went black again, after about 10 seconds.
At this point, I can now always get to the desktop, but the display goes black after about 10 seconds. I have just enough time to press a few keys and the Macbook does respond.
4) I shut down and reinserted the battery. Here's where new problems show up.
With the battery inserted, and the Macbook in sleep, if I hit a key, the DVD spins up as the Macbook is waking, BUT now the front sleep indicator light FLASHES (blinks) 5 TIMES. No beeps.
The Macbook still gets to the desktop, like before, and the screen goes black after 10 seconds.
I found some info on the Apple site re. 5 flashes (Article 21502):
If you don’t hear beeps, but the sleep indicator light flashes five times when you start it up or wake it from sleep, its battery may need service. Take the battery to an Apple Authorized Service Provider, such as an Apple Retail Store.
For more information, see the Apple Support article below.
You can continue using your computer before you service the battery. Use a different battery, or connect the computer’s power adapter and plug it into a power source.
Note:If you use your computer without a battery or with a faulty battery, you could lose all unsaved changes if it’s unplugged while it’s on.
BUT, the battery is not defective, as it works okay in another Macbook.
I should also point out that the problem with the 5 indicator light flashes or with the battery did not exist before the 10.6.8 and the Firmware 1.4 updates.
Any ideas?

Latest firmware update killed my network, HELP!

so.. I updated the firmware about a month ago when it was first available.. My device is completely stock and i'm not really ready to root nor factory reset it. I reset it before due to an error on the backup assistant screwing with my external sd card (the real issue was the copy and paste error some devices were faced with). I've been through about 4, 32gb externals and the latest sandisk just sent me.. is bad too. :/
But, that's not the issue i'm getting at. Since the lastest firmware update with caller ID, etc.. I've had little to no signal, dropped messages in my house, completely dropped 4G LTE while using GPS.. horrible due to some areas I was in.. slow or lagged device to the point where i've had to restart my device 3-4 times each day in the last week...
Can someone either tell me if there is a quick solution to this or what the next step should be in this process. because this whole "we've retracted the update but are looking into a fix" ** isn't very settling. Since, on Verizon's time.. I'm afraid the next update won't come for a few months..

I am having the same issues described by everyone else (dropped 4G, worse signal, etc.) after the update to MD3.
My wife's phone is identical but without the update and it works fine (like mine did before the update)
WHAT is the resolution to this issue, Verizon? I really don't believe I should have to go down the root-my-phone route and find third party sources to fix this issue. Why can't you just push the old firmware back to my phone?
I am quite disappointed that what was my best smartphone experience to date has been ruined.

So slow to bring firmware updates E3000
