Trying to upgrade firmware for WRT54G V6 on Windows 7

Since buying a windows 7 PC, my WRT54G V6 is dropping connection a lot more than it should (1/hr). Because of this i thought to update the firmware. I have downloaded the new .bin and accessed 192.168.1.1, but when i try to move to the ADMINISTRATION page all i get is ascii chars and no admin page, the only pages that actually work are the basic setup and DDNS setup. For info i'm currently running Firmware Version: v1.00.9
Asked for help online and got as far as downloading Tftp,0, but that onlyworks to the point where it tells me ''unable to get responses from the servers''
can anyone help or do i just get a new router ???
Thanks in advance, les
Solved!

Upgrade Firmware for WRT54GS V.6

I am new to the wireless world and just purchased the WRT54GS V.6 router and it says I have downloads for this firmware. I have copied so many instructions I don't know where to start first. Can someone give me some advise as to what to do? Thanks for any information!!!

Hi, you seem to know the way around the router, so I hope you help me. I downloaded the new firmware for v6. and installed it. It call my attention the fact that the firmware started to load slowly, saying that it will restart, and about 40% it congratulate me for the work done, but no restart and after I restarted manually, no wireless!!! Any idea? from the first Easy Link I got a configuration on a pen flash drive, and everytime I restart, I use it, but it is not automatic like it used to be on my older router. Besides the fact that I have to have the computer wired to get it wireless, which is absurd. Thanks if you can help

After spending another two days on pinning down the iTunes 10.5 blank store page problem, here's the solution to be found: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3372617?start=0&tstart=0
Look out for "japiohelp".
In short:
a) press Windows key + "R", enter "cmd", and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter (= runs as admin)
b) enter "netsh winsock reset" and pres enter
c) reboot the computer

Fixed! (win7 64 bit)! Just stop your antivirus during the upgrade/installation (I've got Kaspersky).
Good luck!

Cannot upgrade firmware to WRT54G v5

My Linksys WRT54G router has been dropping out lately and I've been recommended to update its firmware as it is very out-of-date. Well, everytime I try to upgrade the firmware to it, I get an error message that says "the connection to the server was reset while the page was loading." I'm trying to upgrade the firmware through the router's site 192.168.1.1 under the adminstration tab. What else can I do to upgrade the firmware as that option is not working?

Before updating the firmware of your router, you will need to download the updated firmware file from homesupport.cisco.com. Firmware files are in .bin format.
• To prevent upgrade failures make sure that your computer is connected to the router using an Ethernet cable for stable connectivity. Upgrading the firmware wirelessly may cause permanent damage to the router since wireless connection may be unstable during the process.
• Use a different Internet browser if Internet Explorer doesn’t work or use a different computer to perform the upgrade.
• To prevent failure disable firewall to ensure that the upgrade will not be disrupted.
• Make sure that you downloaded the correct firmware and version for your device to prevent technical problems that may damage the router.

Cannot Upgrade firmware on WRT54g wireless v5 to v6

Get as far as the Administration tab and all from there on is gibberish. There is NO Firmware Upgrade tab.

Hi, try to disable the firewall on the Pc on through which you
are trying to access the setup page for the linksys router. If that
does not resolve the issue then you can download the Firmware for the
router [wrt54g v5] from www.linksys.com/download and you will also
have to download the TFTP file from ftp.linksys.com/pub/network
When you run this file it will ask for the Sever [192.168.1.1] >
password [admin] and the File would be the wrt54g Firmware file.

Error Message When Upgrading Firmware for BEFW114S

To all,
I have a BEFW114S with a firmware 1.42.7 which I wanted to upgrade to 1.52.02 However, I got the following error message when I tried update the firmware:
Message: Warning! Upgrade File Pattern Error
Any ideas of what might be causing this.
Thanks.
Babylon5

Hi , here is the problem..... The firmware 1.52.02 is for the model no BEFW11S4 V4.0 and i believe you have BEFW11S4 V3.0...
Download the firmware 1.45.10 for BEFW11S4 V3.0 and you should be able to upgrade the firmware successfully.

Error on trying to upgrade firmware on BEFW11S4-V2 ?

Hi.
I am trying to upgrade the firmware on a BEFW11S4 V2 router. From the Set-up panel, the current firmware is 1.45, dated Feb 28, 2003.
I backed up the config. and downloaded the latest firmware:
"BEFW11S4-V2_v1.45.10_fw.bin" from the Linksys website.
When I go to update the firmware from the router's Set-up .../Help .../Upgrade Firmware,
after selecting the above file, the update starts and goes for about 5-10 seconds and then fails with the messages:
..."Upgrade action is not finish!!
Upgrade file pattern error"
Continue
...which then returns me to the previous Upgrade Firmware page. Have I missed something??
Also...
As background info. (before I forget), I run the router from an XP destop for connection to a DSL ISP and printers connected to the XP machine and for wireless access for a new Win7 Toshiba laptop. Everything seems to work fine so far, but I thought I should get on the latest firmware, eventhough the update would only be a currency update as the release notes don't seem to be an issue from a quick read.

I think you should reset the router first.
Connect the computer with the Ethernet cable to the router Ethernet Port.
Download the latest firmware from the Linksys website.
Open the setup page of the router.
Upgrade the firmware using the .bin file which you have downloaded.
Do not take the backup.
After successful upgrade,reset and reconfigure the router settings.
And see if that helps you.

Can NOT download v4.21.1 Firmware for WRT54G v4

There is something wrong with the Linksys download site.
Can someone confirm this by trying to download that specific firmware?
http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Content_C1&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1115416835852&...
When trying to download the latest firmware for my WRT54G v4, I get nothing but an empty .zip folder (0 bytes).
I also get some sort of server error while attempting to download the "version info".
I have tried three different browsers to be sure.
Hmmm....I just successfully 'test' downloaded other firmware versions, so I know it's got to be the link for this particular firmware I need.
When will this be fixed?
Or, where else can I get Linksys v 4.21.1 firmware for my WRT54G v4?
Thanks

Download the firmware file for the WRT54Gv3. v3 and v4 are compatible. v5 and later use a different kernel. If you select v3 in the downloads you download the file "WRT54GV4.0_4.21.1_US_code.zip" which is the same filename you would get for the v4. I guess it is just a configuration error on the server which breaks the links for the v4...

Firmware For WRT54G V5

tried to download firmware all I was able to get was bin file any help

Enter http://192.168.1.1 into your browser
Leave username empty
Enter admin for the password
Click on the Administration Tab
Then click on the Update Firmware SubTab
Browse for the .bin file you saved
Then click on the upgrade button on the bottom
If that doesnt work you may have to do a hard reset by pressing and holding the reset button on the back for 30 seconds. Then you router will switch to factory default settings. You will have to reconfigure the router again.

Any way to upgrade firmware for Pioneer DVR-K06 DVD-RW drive?

Finally got around to replacing the factory SuperDrive in my Mac mini the other day. The original drive NEVER worked right out of the box -- would read some CDs but not others, always barfed on burning DL DVDs, etc. My last experience with getting a mini fixed under warranty (mobo on my 1.42 G4 took a dump after a few months) involved two three-hour round trips to the nearest (and I use the term loosely) Apple Store for service. It was cheaper for me to just replace the optical drive in this one than to do that drive again.
Anyway, enough complaining. The replacement drive has firmware v1.01 and I would like to get it up to the latest available firmware to take advantage of any compatibility, stability, etc. fixes since v1.01. Problem is that I can't find any software that supports flashing the K06 drive. Hope someone here has a solution. I don't have a Windows machine with appropriate connectors to hook the drive up to or I'd go that route ... plus I'd much rather do it on a Mac just on principle ... plus I don't want to have to disassemble the mini again.
Any solution?

Hello Sang,
I have Sun Ultra 40 Workstation which comes with Matshita DVD-RAM drive.
Mine has D100 firmware and I find other people who has the same drive on different system have D101, D200, D201 firmware.
So does anyone know how to contact Sun to get the latest firmware for my DVD-RAM drive?
I did contacted Matshita for this matter and they tell me to contact Sun.
I did review the Full Components List for the Ultra 40. The only DVD drives listed (Part No. 370-7970) are Panasonic UJ-485 and Teac DV-W28SLA-093. Both aren't capable of reading or writing DVD-RAM.
In some countries Panasonic uses Matshita as brand name.
I did a search on SunSolve with the keywords DVD firmware.
Sun supplies only firmware updates for two DVD readers: Toshiba DVD 1401 (fixes: unable to boot from Solaris 8 DVD) and Toshiba SD-C2732 (fixes: returns incorrect data).
I was unable to update the firmware of the SD-C2732 (Sun part) with the Sun patch. The drive was attached to an Ultra 10 (with an adapter). I ended attaching the drive to a PC and using a DOS boot floppy with the Toshiba flash program and the Sun firmware.
Regarding you problems with the drive: Have you tried another brand of media. The Ultra 40 is under warranty (GA date was February 14, 2006).
Use the contact information from your other thread.
If you search the net for firmware you can locate sites that offers region-code-free firmware for several drives. Usually they provide a flash program (requires creation of a DOS boot floppy). Using these programs/firmware voids your warranty. Maybe you can not revert the firmware upgrade.
These slimline drives have no jumpers, the installed firmware (of the drive) determines if the drive is master, slave, uses cable-select (CS) or reversed CS.

Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 30GB- tried to upgrade firmware. Process hung, now nothing wo

This is really frustrating. I know my MP3 player is old, but it was working. Trying to find all the information I needed to have to upgrade this player so that it would work with Windows Vista was difficult. It wasn't all in the same place. I just kept searching and finally found what I thought was everything I needed. I tried to upgrade the firmware to Version 2.0.03 so I could use it with a Windows Vista computer. The process "hung" and now nothing works. I've tried to reinstall the .20.08 firmware, but the computer won't recognize that the player is connected. How can I get any firmware reloaded so I can try to upgrade again or at least still use the player on a Windows XP machine Thanks,

The same exact thing happened to me yesterday with my Zen Touch 40 GB player. It was working fine, now after my firmware upgrade attempt it's unrecognized by the PC and has no firmware installed but appears to be stuck in "Recovery Mode". There is obviously something wrong with the Creative Firmware update - this should be a very straightforward process, but instead it seems to be wrecking mp3 players. I contacted customer support and they offered to sell me assistance since my player is ancient (2 years old).

Can't Find Firmware for WRT54G V5.1

Purchased the WRT54G week ago, looked for latest firmware (just wanted to have the latest one). Looked on linksys, couldn't find the firmware for version 5.1 (i saw the version of the router on the sticker on the bottom underneath the Linksys logo, it says model no: WRT54G V 5.1). Do i have to use another firmware type instead of searching for the 5.1 ?

the version 5 firmware will work with the version 5.1

Error when trying to upgrade firmware.

Greetings.
I was updating the firmware for my WRT54G V5 (via wired connection), but suddenly the router stopped responding. Since then, the power light has been intermitent and I can't even try to connect to the router.
Is there any solution?
Thanks in advance.

Here is another protocol that might help you.
To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
1)  Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
4)  Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
5) Power down the router.
6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key.  You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out."   If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, the version of your router, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
Please let me know how things turn out for you.

New Firmware for WRT54G ver6 Posted

Saw new firmware posted on the download page for wrt54g ver6 dated 7/2/07, the new version is 1.02.2 good luck people.

I get "Bandwidth value is out of range 64--10000" when enabling QoS. When I set to Upstream Bandwidth to Manual, the problem goes away. But when I switch back to Auto, I am able to save the settings initially. But when I try again, the problem comes back.
Wonder what's wrong... this is no issue with firmware 1.00.9.
