Updated Firmware WRT54GS V7...Now Router "Not Supported"

Hello all. Just bought a new WRT54GS V7. Set up per instructions and it worked flawlessly. Detected both wireless rigs without a problem, and wired rigs worked. Decided (as I always do) to upgrade the firmware to the latest update. Got the latest .bin file for version 7, etc. Followed update instructions to the letter, including pressing the reset button for 30 seconds. Now, when trying to set up the network again, I get to the point of EasyLink trying to find the router, and I get the message "Router not supported. Easylink Advisor is designed to set up Linksys networking products.....". I re-downloaded the file in case of corruption...three times actually. Repeated the entire process with each. Still same problem. Now, I know that pretty much everything, including this router, says not to update the firmware or bios unless you are having a problem. No, I wasn't having a problem, and I guess for the first time I should have paid attention. Any suggestions/solutions? Thanks in advance.

Disable all firewall first on the computer ..... again download the .bin file from the website ....
Save it on your computer .... access routers setup page & try to upgrade the firmware again ..... make sure that you are picking up the correct file ....
After upgrade reset & reconfigure the router ....

  • WRT54GS "Router Not Supported".

    Hello.  I have a WRT54GS V.6.  I have had it for quite a long time, but just yesterday it stopped giving internet to its wired connection.  The wireless connection was working fine.  I reset the router (holding the button in for thirty seconds and planned on making a new network). Everytime now it tells me: "Router Not Supported".  I looked around the support here, and ended up downloading the firmware upgrade and upgraded the router, reset it once again, and tried once more.  Same problem.  "Router Not Supported".  The power light is on.  The WLAN light is on, the Ethernet Port 1 light is on, and the Internet light is blinking.  So it IS recieving the signals.  I don't understand what's wrong.  I have no internet connectivity through the router, either.
    Can someone help me?

    Further browsing of the forums, and I came across this:
     Step 1 : You should just connect the router to main wired computer from ( port 1,2,3,4). No need to connect the dsl modem in this step .
    Step 2 : hard reset the router It seems that we will have to reset the device back to the factory defaults. Kindly follow these steps to reset the device:- - While the device is 'ON', press the reset button on the back panel of the device using a pointed object and keep it held for about 60 seconds. - You will notice that the power light on the device would start blinking, indicating that it is being reset. - After 60 seconds release the reset button and switch 'OFF' the Linksys device and wait for 10 seconds and then switch it 'ON' again. - Let the power light on the device stabilize.
    Step 3 : wireless settings. Please access the setup page of the router by launching an Internet Explorer and type on the address bar, 192.168.1.1 and press enter. When it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field empty and provide password as admin all in lower cases and then click on ok. Click on the Wireless tab - Here Wireless Network mode should be mixed - Provide any new name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box, all in lower cases without any spaces in between. Do not use any old name - Set wireless channel to 11 - And wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on save settings.
    Step 4 : wireless security
    1. When the router's setup page appears, please click on the Wireless tab.
    2. When the Wireless area appears, click on the Wireless Security sub tab.
    3. When the Wireless Security area appears, select WEP under Security Mode dropdown.
    4. Encryption should be set to 64 bits 10 hex digits.
    5. Skip the Passphrase box.
    6. In the WEP Key1 box, type in a phone number (just the numbers no spaces or dashes) that you can remember in the box.
    7. Make a note of these 10 numbers; this would be your wireless network's key.
    8. Leave the key 2, key 3 and key 4 boxes blank, and then click on the Save Settings button.
    Step 5 : On the 192.168.1.1 set up page of the router , please click on the set up tab . In that you will find an option as local ip address 192.168.1.1 . Please change that to 10.10.10.1 and then hit save settings at the bottom. Once setting's are saved close that page.
    Step 6 : confirmation of the physical connection. You should connected the modem router ( internet port ) to main wired computer ( port 1,2,3,4). Now switch OFF both your modem and the router. Switch ON the modem first and wait for about 40 seconds and only then switch on router. At the end of the step 6 try going online from the wired computer . If you are not able to go online from the wired computer than do the step 7
    Step 7 : Please access the setup page of the router by launching an Internet Explorer and type on the address bar, 10.10.10.1 and press enter. When it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field empty and provide password as admin all in lower cases and then click on ok. On the main setup page select the Internet Connection Type as PPPoE. - Then provide the username and password provided by your ISP (Internet service provider) for your connection. (Example: [email protected]) - For MTU select Manual from the drop down box and set the MTU size to 1250. - Select the Keep Alive option and choose the redial period as 30 sec

    And it worked for me. :]  So my problem is solved.

  • Questions re: "router not supported"....and other questions

    I bought the WRT54G v. 2.0 several years ago and never had issues with it until I started messing with it.  I have 3 laptops (1 hardwired, 2 wireless) and a wireless tivo working with this router.  My biggest issue is the laptop and tivo in the living room are only getting a very weak signal.  I was trying to fix that when i noticed my router was not "secure".  I don't have any linksys software on the host computer.  It was on another computer that died 2 years ago, but everything worked fine when I plugged everything in.  The router is currently doing its job except I want it to be secure and have a stronger signal.  I downloaded the Linksys EasyLink Advisor and tried to secure it from there but keeps saying "Router not supported".  It says its too old or not a linksys product (which it obviously is).  I then upgraded my firmware to the newest version and then tried to secure it with the web setup.  I did that but linksys support instructions tell me to click on a linksys icon and set it up using the software that came with the router.  I don't have that software on my computer.  I do have the disc, but when I try to set it up, the disc tells me I'm already running a router and that I should exit the setup. 
    My question is this:  How do I secure my network and get a stronger signal to my tivo and laptop in the living room?
    Paul

    You would need a hardwired PC for this job so that every change you make and do will not kick you off the wireless network. On your hardwired PC log in to the router set-up page. To do this, open up internet explorer and type on the address bar the numbers 192.168.1.1 (username just leave it blank, password as a default is admin)...
    Then go to the wireless tab and edit the following settings:
    SSID - this is going to be the name of your wireless network, just give it whatever you name you would want to give it.
    Channel - suggested value is "11"
    Then to secure your wireless network go to the Wireless Security Subtab and set your security mode to WEP... and input your phone number on key 1. (include the area code)... then save the settings.
    After this process, your router should now be secured with your own phone number as the Security WEP key.

  • HT1925 After failed update of itunes yesterday, now will not run with error message "MSVCR80.dll can't be found, APSDaemon.exe not running".  Windows 7.

    After failed update of itunes yesterday, now will not run with error message "MSVCR80.dll not found" APSDaemon.exe will not run.  itunes will not now run.

    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 move on 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.

  • Upgraded to Mavericks now Aperture not supported

    I finally upgraded to Mavericks, and now Aperture not supported and getting this message.  No upgrades are available in the iTunes/App store either. Any suggestions?

    If you did not buy Apeture from the AppStore, you can download an update to Aperture 3.4.5 from the Apple Support Downloads page:
    Aperture 3.4.5
    Backup your Aperture library before you run the update installer and open Aperture for the first time. The upgrade from AP 3.2 to 3.4.5 will upgrade your Aperture library to a new format and that will completely rebuild the library. It is safer to have a backup.  Aperture needs to be installed in the "Applications" folder, not a subfolder of Applications,  and be called simply "Aperture" without any add ons.
    After that try again to update to Aperture 3.5 from the AppStore. If you did not buy from AppStore, this update will change your Aperture licence to an AppStore licence, so be sure to sign into the AppStore with exactly the AppleID that you want to use for updatig and buying software.
    For some posters here the Aperture 3.5 update was not visible, unless the primary sytem language was set to "English U,S," and the region to "United States". If you are living in a different country, try to change the "Language & Region" settings in the System Preferences and restart the system, before tring to update.
    That should also trigger updates for the iLife apps and iWork.

  • Updated iphone4 to ios5 - get Device not supported for icloud - worked fine for other iphone4

    Updated iphone4 to ios5 - get "Device Not Supported" message - worked fine for other iphone4 & ipad.  Why is this iphone "not qualified for icloud"?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons simultaneously, ignoring the red power off slider, until the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. This should not affect any content on the iPad, it is similar to rebooting your computer.

  • Mavericks-updated QT now does not support chapter exports!?

    Hello,
    For the last few years, I've been able to take a .mov edited in Prores 422, with FCP, and save as a master.  Then, I'd open that file with Quicktime, and export as 1080P.
    The result before tonight has been a moview with H.264 encoding (considerable smaller than 422), with 'text', or Chapter Markers.
    Example of file info: Apple ProRes 422, Linear PCM, Timecode, QuickTime Text
    Now.. after installing Mavericks.. the same process just creates 'AAC, H.264'.
    The text codec has been stripped.
    1) Is there a good workflow, or do I have to install metadata hoot.. or handbrake?
    2) Can I roll back to a quicktime version prior to the version Mavericks has tweaked.. and still keep Mavericks?
    Please help.  Thank you in advance!
    ~Bob

    Been getting the same errors for a while.

    Believe they are related to random disconnects from the file server (10.9.5).

  • Updating firmware on Westell 327W router

    I found a file on Verizon website to manually update the router but it did not work, says that software update failed. I still have version 03.02.01. Does anyone know how to get the latest firmware installed on this router?

    Make sure you have the correct version of the firmware update being applied. There are three differnet revisions of the 327w that you could have and you can determine your version from the modem's Web GUI or from the sticker on the bottom of the router. Also when running the upgrade, shut off your Firewall and Anti-virus until it complete in case they are interfering with the upgrade.
    See this page: http://www22.verizon.com/Support/Residential/internet/highspeed/troubleshooting/network/firmwareupgr...
    Verizon should already be pushing the latest version of the firmware to you but that doesn't seem to be the case (likely though if you were in bridge mode previously).

  • Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Router Not working

    I have a Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Router and it has worked good for a couple months and yesterday it stopped. When I plug it in all the lights are lit even though there arent any ethernet cables connected and the power light blinks constantly. I tried holding the reset button on the back and it didnt help. Anyone know whats wrong or anything I can try to fix it?

    You need to try again to reset the router to factory defaults.
    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, 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.

  • Problem updating firmware WRT54G v5 1.00.1 to 1.02.2

    Hi, I've been having an issue updating the firmware of my WRT54G v5 router to 1.02.2 ... the reason is because one of the previous firmwares solves some Bittorrent issues .. Anyway, I checked the tag and it reads v5 .. and the firmware is currently 1.00.1. I downloaded the right .bin file, I presume, which is 1.02.2.. when I choose 'Update Firmware' and select the .BIN file, I see about 1% of the progress bar light up and it immediately switches to a webpage reading 'The connection was reset. The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.' which seems to be a default (Firefox) error. Ofcourse, when I re-enter the web interface, it still reads '1.00.1' as current firmware... any ideas?

    Ow, never mind... I figured it... tried some more last night but I couldn't even save the Configuration (error which resembles the one described above). Made screenshots of the configuration, then did a hard reset.. then immediately tried the firmware update which succeeed flawlessly. I could also make a Configuration backup again!
