Troubling finding my version (model is a WRT54GS) and conflicting post

Alright from what I've read I'm supose to look under my router for the model number. I've done that and what I saw was "WRT54GS" with no version number. "WRT54GS" is what is on the model and documentation that came with the router  so I'm thinking that's the true model name.
However when I look at the FCC ID I see the following. "WRT54GV2". This is what is throwing me off. Now when I go to the view the router settings I see in the upper right hand corner the following "Firmware Version: v2.07.1". Firmware docuemnts say that the inital release for v1 had firmware v2.06.1 and after that was v2.07.1.
Now last thing I want to do is install the wrong firmware and screw things up. I'm thinking that the model I have is version 1 of the WRT54GS series but the FCC ID is throwing me off as no "version number" is viewable on the hardware itself. Now the FCC ID number could be related to the initial software that is installed on the hardware which links to the v.2.07.1 number I"m getting but I'm not sure. Should I just ignore the FCC ID number and focus on the model number (which has no version text near it or anywhere else on the machine)?
Thanks.

Nevermind, figured it was the version 1.0 based on the serial number after looking at a wikipedia entry. Installed the correct firmware and things seem to be working.
I think that article which is here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WRT54G is a better way for people to figure out which version they have then looking at the other numbers on the machine. Going by the first four letters and numbers of the serial.

  • I can't get my Epson Stylus SX438W to work. Has anyone had trouble finding the correct model when installing the driver?

    I am having trouble completing the installation of my new Epson Stylus SX438W Wi-Fi printer. The printer is connected to my network and so is my Mac. I have put the Epson software disc in the Mac and followed the procedure to installing everything that is needed. I am stuck at a point that Epson have not been able to help with, and as advised to ask my router provider whether it does MAC filtering. It does not apparently. Then i have been advised to contact Apple. So that's where i am. The problem is that at the point where i have to add the printer to the printer list the correct model does not show in the provided list, so i hit the "more printers" tab. Not in here either. Epson have guided me through the installation of the latest driver and the prinnter still, does not show up in any lists. We have tried setting it up manually (i believe!, i am far, far from really knowing at all what i am doing). When trying to print a document from Microsoft word all that comes out is jargon on the sheets. Obviously not what i am after. I realise my description may be very unhelpful to you but i am REALLY stuck i don't know what to do now. Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.
    P.S. i have attached an image of the screen i have got to if that is of any help and i can get more screen shots etc. if anyone needs them!

    OK, let's try these................ 
    1 - Boot up from your install DVD and run "Repair Disk" from the Utility menu.  When done, restart back to your desktop, repair permissions and restart your computer.  Re-connect your printer. 
    2 - Download & install the Gimp drivers. Make sure the one you install is compatible w/your OS-Gutenprint 5.2.8-pre1.   Repair permissions, restart your computer & re-connect your printer when done.
    The Epson model I have, in order to get it to print wirelessly, I had to install a Gimp driver.
    3 - Check out the following KB Articles:

    ======================
    If still unsuccessful after trying all of the above, the problem could be your iBook or human error.  You can either call Epson & ask to speak with a Mac savy supervisor or return the printer & find another that is compatible w/your current OS.

  • HT2404 I am getting notices from web sites that they won't support Safari 4.1.3 much longer, but I'm having trouble finding a version of Safari that will work with Mac OS 10.4.11. I have a n iMac flat screen "lampshade" and still love it.

    Help welcomed. How can I upgrade Safari without upgrading to OS 10.5?

    Safari let's you change your identity ( user agent string ) to anything. This is what the server thinks you are running.  Want to be run Windows 7 IE8? No problem.

  • How do I find out which model I have?

    Please forgive my ignorance. I am here to learn.
    My motherboard has P6NGM stamped in it but to get support, I need to know which letters follow those -- and I don't know how to find that information.
    The bigger problem -- and the one I need to solve -- is that a trojan has found its way into my BIOS. I put the infected HD off line and I tried to install a brand new HD, but I got a warning that there was a virus and did I want to continue the process. Well, no. I don't need another infected hard drive.
    I think that if I remove the CMOS battery for a few hours it the chip will reset to factory default and the trojan will go away, but then I will need to flash the BIOS. That is where knowing which version of the motherboard comes in. I can't download the right BIOS if I don't know what model of motherboard I have.
    Please help! This problem is driving me crazy.

    The notice appeared onscreen. I decided I'd start over with a new, clean drive and when I went to partition and format it, a notice appeared onscreen telling me I had a virus and asking me if I wanted to continue. It was the strangest thing, sine no functional hard drive was attached at that time.
    When you partition/format a hard drive, the boot sector of that hard drive is rewritten.  In BIOS-Setup, under "Advanced BIOS Features" there is in option called "Boot Sector Protection", which (when enabled) will put out a potential virus warning when there is write access to the hard drives's boot sector.  This option was enabled when you initially formated your drive and it was disabled when you did this:

    I unplugged the computer, took the battery out and left it out overnight to reset the CMOS. Then I put it back together, and entered date, time, etc.
    You never had a virus problem. 

  • I'm having trouble finding twisted-web

    I am running x86_64 and trying to install the twisted-web package and I am having some trouble finding it.
    I used the package search on the archlinux.org main page and I found a  match, but when I try pacman -Sy twisted-web I get "error: 'twisted-web': not found in sync db".
    I noticed that it is supposed to be in the extra repository so I checked my pacman.conf and "Extra" is properly configured (and I have installed packages from it before).
    I checked the PKGBUILD that was online and it supports x86_64, I then checked my abs directory to see if the PKGBUILD was there (under my /var/abs/extra/network directory) and I found "twisted" but no "twisted-web".
    I also searched AUR for twisted-web and came up with nothing, and I assume this is because it is already in the extra repository.
    I am new to Arch and I cannot think of anything else to do.  My only other thought is that the package page says "out-of-date" so maybe it has been removed from the extra repository or something along those lines, but that seems like a strange thing to do.
    Anyway I really like arch and I have looked at several PKGBUILD's already so if its just a matter of making a build for a new version that would be no problem for me to do (and submit it to AUR or a maintainer) I just need a little guidance.  Chances are I'm just inexperienced and missing something really obvious.
    Thanks for reading
    -pilo

    Thanks thats really helpful, what confused me was that when I searched for twisted-web from the main page then clicked -> view cvs entries -> pkgbuild -> view, the PKGBUILD there had "arch=(i686 x86_64)" so I thought I should be able to install it.
    Im realatively experienced at compiling programs and programming myself so I will take a stab at getting it to compile myself and submit a new PKGBUILD if I get it working.
    Thanks a lot for your help, im really liking arch.

  • Find out USA Model number of Satellite A80-127

    Hello,
    I have a Toshiba SA80 127 . Is there any way i can find out the model number of the US version of this Laptop ? since i probably need some repairs/replacements on parts (cooling fan/ LCD).
    Any suggestions will be helpful.
    Thanks
    karthik

    I agree with Homer
    Contact the ASP in your country and ask the guys for the compatible fan or cooling module
    In my knowledge there is no big difference between an European models and the US notebook series.
    I assume both notebooks like Satellite A80-127 (EU) and A80-S178TD (US) would use the same cooling modules.
    But this is only my personal opinion and you should definitely ask the ASP to ensure that the parts are the same.
    Regards

  • Image Capture and Preview have trouble finding scanner. Photoshop no problem.

    Image Capture and Preview have trouble finding the scanner wirelessly unless it is on when the Mac starts up. Photoshop finds the scanner no problem. Any suggestions for Image Capture or Preview?
    The scanner is Canon MP620. Mac is MBP, running 10.8.2
    I have done all the uninstall, reinstall, update drivers, etc. Please don't bother suggesting that stuff.
    Thanks.

    As for the scanner - so is this new one wireless? When I hooked up my Epson All-in-One, I had to install it via USB first before I could install the wireless (per their instructions).  With Snow Leopard, I simply installed the driver and it covered and recognized both the print and scan function - not so in Lion; I had to go through hoops with the scanner part and it finally showed up as a separate unit. I thought that is silly, but - as long as it works.....  I'm trying to think of possibilities since I'm about out of ideas, so you might want to consider that (if it applies). The other troubleshooting suggestions usually include redoing the "add" function after a reboot.
    As for Image Capture, I am out of ideas. FWIW, I never use it - in my workflow, there is no need for it. Not sure if this would have an impact, but make sure that you choose Image Capture in the CDs&DVDs Preference Pane (mine is set to ignore or ask purposely):
    If that does not work, I'd suggest reinstalling the OS over the top of what you have.
