Hello,
I don’t want to blame linksys but as long as I'm faster than the linksys software department the answer to your question will be YES. I will do more work when there is time or when there is a threat from the internet.
Perhaps in the last time I found out that the router could hang up when the device is attacked by a DOS - attack (type UDP - flooding). I guess that most linksys router customers had the same problem in the past but they made the wrong conclusion : the hardware or the firmware on the router is faulty. Doing nothing is simply inacceptable!

What is the best and most stable firmware for wrt1900ac?

I recently got the wrt1900ac and I wabt to update the firmware. What is the best and most stable firmware for wrt1900ac?

The most current version is pretty stable aside the Network Map App which is known to cause a router reboot. Linksys is aware of this and is working on fixing it. Just don't use this app.
Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations
What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
What ISP Modem Mfr. and model # do you have?
To safely update FW, I recommend doing the following:
1. Save router config to file first using IE or FF with all security add-ons disabled.
2. Factory reset the router with all other devices disconnected or turned OFF accept for 1 wired PC.
3. Reload or Update the FW using IE or FF. Just download the FW file to your local wired LAN PC.
4. Factory reset the router and then set up from scratch first and test with out loading the saved config from file. Check to see if any problems are fixed before loading the saved config from file. Sometimes you need to set up from scratch with out loading the saved config file. Just safer that way.
Any other WiFi routers in the area? Link> Use http://www.techspot.com/downloads/5936-inssider.html to find out. Use v3. How many?
My current WiFi settings that are working well are Mixed Mode on both radios, Mixed Channel width on both radios, WPA2 only. Manual channel 11 on 2.4Ghz and 149 on 5Ghz. However those channels for your use will depend on whos near by your surroundings found in the InSSIDer app and you'll need to adjust accordingly to channels that are not being used which are preferred 1, 6 and 11 or (13 for out side of the north america region) on 2.4Ghz. WPS, Media Filter and IPv6 disabled. USB Drive Share, WMM and Media Prioritization enabled. LinksysSmartWiFi is enabled along with mobile access app on Iphone 4S works.

IPv6 ACLs for ZBFW with changing IPv6 prefix?

Hi all
Is there a trick to keep IPv6 ACLs for ZBFW working when the IPv6 prefix will change ?
Background:
6RD based residential internet access.
Provider has a /28 6RD-Prefix, and will append the whole 32bits of the DHCP assigned public IPv4 address, leaving a /60 to use at home. Inside should be subnet 0, DMZ should be subnet 1 from that /60.
A few of my DMZ IPv6 hosts should be reachable from the outside world on specific udp/tcp ports, without having to open the whole DMZ subnet towards the IPv6 internet.
No big deal, one would think...
zone security Z-INTERNET
description * the outside world *
zone security Z-DMZ
zone security Z-OUTSIDE
zone-pair security ZP-OUTSIDE-TO-DMZ source Z-OUTSIDE destination Z-DMZ

match access-group name ACLv6-ICMP-UNREACH <-- some ICMP listed in this ACL, irrelevant here
class-map type inspect match-any CMAP-IN-INSPECT-TRAFFIC
match access-group name ACLv6-INBOUND-TRAFFIC
Now.. what would I put into ACLv6-INBOUND-TRAFFIC? Manually setting...
ipv6 access-list ACLv6-INBOUND-TRAFFIC
sequence 10 permit tcp any host <MYcurrent6RDPREFIX>1::<$MYHOSTID> eq http
... works well, until MY6currentRDPREFIX becomes MYnew6RDPREFIX. It does so seldomly, but it does, especially after outages.
For adressing (and re-adressing) the DMZ interface, "ipv6 general prefix MY6RDPREFIX 6rd tunnel6" helps a lot and it works pretty well.
However, one cannot seem to make use of "ipv6 general prefix" in an ipv6 ACL, neither as source nor destination (and neither when defining a stateful DHCPv6 server, for that matter).
router6rd(config-ipv6-acl)#permit ip any ?
X:X:X:X::X/<0-128> IPv6 destination prefix x:x::y/<z>
any Any destination prefix
host A single destination host
router6rd(config-ipv6-acl)#
D'oh. What now?
I do know that scanning the whole /64 would take aeons to complete, but I would like to use predetermined addresses with SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6 (with the help of http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/ip-token.8.html).
Opening the entire subnet makes me cringe, even more since these hosts are bound to be in some public DNS as well. For that matter, it becomes largely irrelevant if the Host-ID comes from ip-token, EUI-64, RFC7217 or privacy extensions (allright, the latter wouldn't quite apply here, I know.)
Am I caught in the "IPv6 is like IPv4 but with longer addresses" trap? Should I just do away with my wish to have only the given DMZ servers reachable, and open up the entire subnet?
Or: Is there a completely different way of doing ZBFW things in IPv6 that I didn't think of?
thanks for your thoughts and ideas.

Firmware for WRT54GS with Speedbooster

I have version 1.5 apparantly by looking into my router. When I look for a download for it I can not find it on this website. So I tried downloading version 1's firmware upgrade and then I read the readme file and it says to look for a file that ends in .rmt That file isn't in there. There's another rather large file in there but that won't upgrade the router, it keeps saying "upgrade failed". That file is a bin file, and it doesn't work. What do I do to upgrade this router?

I downloaded the Easylink Firmware tool. To upgrade the firmware, I was prompted to plug the ethernet cable (from the back of my wired computer) into the laptop itself, with the other end already in "port 1". Well, the router never recognized the ethernet cable in port 1, so when i clicked to proceed forward, the router was not recognized, nothing happened, and I have the same problem. I vaguely remember now when I first got the router, I went through the necessary steps with the router and the PC, did everything fine. Then I just started up my laptop, it recognized the network created on my PC, and I just used the internet on my laptop that way. However I have always received the following message when starting up my laptop: "Duplicate name exists on the network". I usually just X out of it, and proceed forward. So my question is, did the actions listed above create my current problem? Why isn't my router recognizing the ethernet cable plugged into it from the laptop? Also, is there any way to test if the issues stems with my network adapter in my laptop???

After downloading firmware for airport utility, airport express base station no longer registers with airport utility on my Mac. Now the base station is blinking amber with no info of what is causing all this to happen. Any suggestions?

After downloading firmware for airport utility last night, airport express base station was deleted from airport utility and only Time Capsule remains. When I plug in the base station, an amber light blinks without being able to verify the cause. Any suggestions to remedy this problem?

There are only a couple of things you can do to resuscitate a nonresponsive Express:
"Hard reset":
Press and hold the reset button with a pen or pencil until you see the status light (LED) start to flash amber rapidly, which should occur after about five seconds.
If that does not work,
"Factory defaults reset":
Unplug the Express from power.
Press and hold the reset button with a pen or pencil, then plug the Express back in while continuing to hold the button until you see the light (LED) flash rapidly. This should happen after a few seconds.
Release the button.
In either case you will have to reconfigure the Express as a new device. A moment or two after it has been reset, the LED should be blinking slowly. It must then appear in your Wi-Fi menu like this:
Earlier versions of OS X will report it as "Apple Network nnnnnn".
In either case, select it, and then launch AirPort Utility.
If it does no appear in your Wi-Fi menu after it has been reset using one of the two techniques above, it is defective. Other than attempting another reset, there is nothing you can do.

Focus point grouping for 6D with firmware change possible?

Does anyone know if it is possible with a firmware update to create an option to use just the center 9 focus points? This would make it similar to the 7D center group. I think this would be useful for some action shots. This might be one feature that may help me commit to Canon for my next camera. I am currently looking to upgrade to fullframe, but Canon seems to have taken out one feature too many in the 6D and leaves me stuck in the middle. I don't know whether to jump ship and and hassle with selling my beautiful 70-200 II zoom and the rest of the gear. As a consumer, I still like the option of a flash in certain bright background situations. Thanks.

I'm afraid you'll have to go to 7D or 5DIII to get Zone Focus or Expansion Points such as you want to use. 6D doesn't have it and I really doubt it ever will... that would be a pretty radical change to try to do via firmware... might not even be possible. But, hey, I'm no expert on writing firmware and some people manage to do some interesting camera hacks (search for Magic Lantern, for example).
But frankly, I shoot subjects like you want to shoot with just a Single Point most of the time with my 7Ds. Before that I did pretty much the same with 50D, 30D, and 10D. It takes some practice, but is the best way to insure focus is right where you want it as consistently as possible. Some days I take a couple thousand images and, with 7D and it's very quick AF, typically 97 or 98 percent are correctly focused, and I figure most of the missed focus shots are my fault, not the camera's. I had a few more missed focus with 50D and earlier, but still managed upward of 90 percent most of the time (when I was in practice).
I only use the Zone and Expansion modes occasionally on 7D. Mostly when the subject is large or is against a plain or very distant background. Otherwise the camera still might choose to focus using the wrong point.
The 5D Mark II has a form of expansion points, but it's done with 6 "hidden" Assist Points that aren'tt shown in the viewfinder, are clustered right around the center point, and only work in AI Servo mode. It's sort of as if the entire Spot Metering circle is one bid AF point. Unfortunately, this only moderately helps the 5DII with AI Servo/moving subjects. Tracking moving subjects just isn't the 5DII's forté. Only three of it's AF points are the "better" dual axis type (the visible center one and two of the hidden ones). The rest (8 visible and four more hidden ones) are single axis... some horizontal, some vertical. Heck, all nine of your 50D's AF points are dual axis type, so to some extent it has a better sports/action focus system than the 5DII. I'm not knocking the 5DII, it's a great camera for other things.... just not so much for sports/action shooting.
On 7D, 5DIII the difference between Zone Focus and Expansion is that in Zone any of the points or even multiple points can be the "starting point" for focusing. In other words, it's like one large focusing point that will pick up on whatever object covered by any of the points is closest (like a smaller version of All Points/Auto Selection). In Expansion you choose a single "starting point", but the camera can switch to using one of the adjacent points if you don't keep the starting point on the subject.
I'd recommend 7D... there are some other advantages to using a crop camera for sports, as well. It's sort of like having a "free" 1.6X teleconverter and, since a lot of sports photography is done with telephoto lenses, a cropper helps leverage your longer lenses for all they're worth. For example, I use a 300/4 IS on 7D a lot for sports, easily handheld. If I were using any of the full frame models, to fill the viewfinder the same way I'd have to get out the 500/4 iS and a solid tripod to put it on (or at least a monopod).
Yes, it's got higher frame rate, too... Though to be honest I try to avoid using it too much... 8fps fills up memory cards and hard drives fast... and can mean a lot more time spent sitting at a computer editing the results. I found 7D an excellent upgrade from 50D. The 7D has very fast AF, ideal for AI Servo work... It's got a discrete chip handling AF, much like the 1D series have. AFAIK, 6D and 5DIII don't have that.

Firmware upgrade for WRT120N to support IPV6?

IPV4 IP addresses will be running out in less than a year and I wanted to know, will there be a firmware update for WRT120N to support IPV6?
If not, why?
Also, if I have to buy another router to support IPV6, I'm going to buy a D-Link. It's nothing personal, I just find it absolutely idiotic that a router that supports wireless-N doesn't support IPV6. You have to ask your self, how does the standard IPV6 spec thats a few years old not make it to the final product of a router, but a non-standard wireless-N spec implementation somehow got the O.K....?

If you want to know about a firmware update you have to call Linksys support. You won't get an official answer here.
It's absolutely not ridiculous. Maybe IPv6 implementations are around for a while. But it was mostly basic routing and connectivity. All major companies only started maybe two or three years ago to fully support IPv6 in their pro devices. Before that, IPv6 was usually an update not included in the base firmwares. Often it was a paid option. And even today you'll find IPv6 not really equally supported in high-end firewalls which is why some companies are even now reluctant to deploy IPv6 because they are afraid to weaken their firewalls...
And you write yourself: your provider is testing IPv6 now. Isn't that ridiculous, too?
And even today you'll find many client devices in stores which don't at all support IPv6, yet, for instance printers, VoIP phones...
Thus which consumer brand do you think is so much more trustful? And to work perfectly on an Internet connection where even your ISP is still in test phase?

Graphics Firmware update for iMac with with NVIDIA GeForce 7300 or 7600 GT

I am one of the many with an 06 24" iMac that has the graphics card glitch. Downloaded and installed this firmware update today and worked all day with no issues. The update says it is for users that are running Windows 7 in boot camp.
Is this coincidental and the firmware fixed the issue so many of us have with these iMacs with the NVIDIA cards or did I just jinx myself and my problems are bound to return?
Guess I will know soon enough!
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL978

I've seen all sorts graphics problems mentioned. Apple sells millions of Macs per years, so any potential problem is bound to happen to at least a few customers. Assuming that people can read your mind is not a very good way to get responses.
On the other hand, if you describe the problem in detail, people reading the forum and looking for solutions may actually find your post through a keywords search, and your finding about installing the firmware update for Windows 7 may help then too, after confirming their problem is similar to your problem.
But that's up to you...

Is there some new requirement in 7.1 or 7.1.1 to have cell and/or wifi enabled for GPS to work? I am testing with MotionX, garmin blueChart mobile, and a GPS monitoring tool. All show no signal. If I turn on cell and wifi, it says I get gps signal, but can't tell if that is from the GPS chip, or just from cell and wifi only (maybe with some gps mixed in)? Any ideas on how to get iPad working with GPS only??

Roger that. Thanks for your time.
System:
Windows 7 64bit
Processor: AMD phenom IIX4 965
RAM: Gskill Ripsaw F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM (2-2GB sticks)
GPU:EVGA Classified Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 core
PSU: Kingwin 1000W laser gold (LZG-1000)
Yes. tried the one ram stick, no go. I have been trying to boot off/install the windows 7 disk but am unable to get to the point where windows starts installing after its gathering information portion of the install. I can get to the disk selection screen of the install with the WD HD on SATA port 2 but then get the "cant install messages" when I try to select the Vertex 3. Yes I can see the Vertex 3 Drive as well as the WD drive at this point. some times I have to hit "scan" a couple of times.

I am considering buying a MBA but i need to do word processing, making power point presentations, and also to use publisher for work, does the MBA have the ability to do these things, if so will I be able to continue with work done on a MBA with a PC?

I am considering buying a mac book air and I was wondering if I can still do word processing, make powerpoint presentations and use publisher like i would on a PC? Also if I can then would I be able to continue with work done on the mac book on a PC and all the computers at school are not macs ?

I am using the 11" MBA with Office 2011 (with latest updates). The form factor is great for travel.
Powerpoint presentations work well, but there are some issues with creating a presentation under OSX then continuing editing under Windows (Powerpoint 2010). I've experienced problems with custom backgrounds not rendering correctly while editing slides under Windows when the original presentation was created under OSX. If you stick with the "standard" themes I imagine you'll be OK.
Also, there is a major drawback in that there is no IR port on the new MBA(s). Therefore, you cannot use an Apple Remote to control a slide show. Yes, there is an app for the iPhone that can control a Keynote slide presentation using Bluetooth, but since I haven't tried it, I cannot say if that app will work for Mac Powerpoint 2011.
What is really needed is an "Apple Bluetooth Remote". (please, if anyone from Apple is listening...)
Your only option to run Publisher is to run Windows in a virtual machine (e.g. Fusion or Parallels) with Publisher installed as there is no Mac version.
I run Fusion with Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 configured as a workstation and Office 2010 as my main travel machine and it is very responsive. Even using Windows Aero Theme which is knowned to be graphics intensive.

975x and Raid .. Works fine for me with all bios

I just glanced at the Bios thread to look something up (I forget what) and was stunned to see the posts there...
Why are people being discouraged from using Raid with the Official bios ver 7.3 (or any other bios) ?
If there was a problem using Raid with an official bios, especially one that gets auto updated, this board would be swamped with complaints..
I have never had a problem with Raid on this board..
And most of you that know me, know that I test almost every bios that comes out..
I don't have to reinstall my raid after installing a new bios...
Okay... sorry .. had to rant...
I don't have a step by step of "how I set up my Raid" but basically here is what I did..
(Please note, everyone has their own prefered method for installing an OS on a raid)
No matter what bios I used, I would have my "working" OS on an IDE drive...
I would then reboot, go into my bios, set my Sata to Raid (set forcegen to whatever you want)
f10 to save the setting and when the reboot happens, I try "control + I" to get into the Intel panel..
If I don't get the Intel Panel, I just reboot again, go in the bios, disable jmicron (my IDE drive will still work), and ...
f10 to save setting, and try "control + I" to get into the intel raid panel, if you can't get into the panel, something else is set wrong in your bios or your SATA drives aren't set up properly..
Once I created my raid, I would boot into my OS (on my IDE drive)...
My OS will find the raid and want to install a driver, ignore that, and just install the Intel Raid software..
Then I would either migrate my OS to the newly formed Raid drive using a tool like Data Lifeguard (that is Western Digital's tool for its drives)
Or I would just restore to the raid drive using an OS backup (I used Norton Ghost) and set the Raid drive as a boot drive..
Make sure your raid is formatted as a "primary partition" to be a boot drive...
Now that I have my OS on the raid drive, I just simply reboot, go into my bios, set my raid as the first boot drive and then when my system boots, I am running off my Raid...
As for having my raid running and trying a new bios...
I just flashed from bios ver 7.30 to ver 7.16 booted into my raid (all worked fine) and then flashed back to 7.30 and no problems finding my raid...
The only suggestion that I can offer is:
If you have problems finding your SATA Raid after a bios flash, the problem is most likely jmicron related...
Try disabling the jmicron in the bios (your IDE stuff should work fine unless you are using a Raid on the jmicron ports)..
or just try disconnecting all your drives except your SATA raid
Then see if you can see your SATA raid...
Understand, if there was a problem with running raids with this motherboard, there would be posts everywhere..
Somehow, either the way you created your raids, your bios settings, or the way your jmicron is implemented is causing problems..
Hope this helps someone...
I know I am gonna get blasted for this post...
But I don't think I am the only one running a SATA raid using bios ver 7.3
I just think that those with working Raids, don't look at the Official Raid thread since it looks like a "How to" thread...
I am sorry (in advance) if I offended anyone with this thread...

Hey Vaniireq
1. Thanks for that info - Perhaps the forum modrerators would see more of the issues coming to light with RAID if they changed the topic in the stickies from HOW TO install Intel Matrix Storage Driver Guide to MAIN RAID ISSUES and put in a subthread on HOW TO install Intel Matrix Storage Driver Guide
2. I have always kept the JMD disabled as nothing on BIOS 7.1 would work for me in raid when otherwise.
SUGGESTION: I suspect that many when starting to look at the forum have no idea what there is in the "HOW TO install Intel Matrix Storage Driver Guide " thread - as it does not mention RAID that clearly.
Just a suggestion.
I am about to do the 4 hour check and attempt to get back to dual channel 800 with my system. Will advise....
Good weekend all......... Keith
