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).

  • Firmware Updates for Westell 327w Router?

    hi there!
    just curious if Verizon ever updates the firmware for the "Westell 327w" wireless router, and if so, where to find it.)
    Westell's website just says talk to Verizon about it...
    no big deal, just like to keep my stuff up to date.)
    thanks! 

    The other users that updated the 327W to the new firmware claim that it messed it up. They recommend that you stay with your current firmware right now.

  • Updating firmware on multiple wireless router setup

    Hi, I'm trying to take over support from a tech who's moved out of the area. There's abut 4 mixed of these wireless routers WRT300N's and WAP54G's in the house. I can see and update the firmware for the router at 192.168.1.1.., the other routers are connected through their network ethernet port. Is there any way via the wireless connection to access the other 3 to update their firmware? It would be great to do it from one location. I don't know what IP the installer set each of these up to.

    To update the firmware you must know the IP address of the device, regardless whether you use a wired or wireless link.
    You should also never do the update through a wireless link. A firmware update must not be interrupted. If it is interrupted you are likely to have a dead router afterwards. As wireless links tend to be far more unreliable then wired links it is always highly recommended to use wired links for the updates.
    I would suggest you do a network scan or ping all IP addresses inside your LAN subnet. Check where you get responses and check the arp cache with "arp -a" to see what MAC addresses are behind those IP addresses. This should help you to find and identify the IP addresses of those other devices. If you cannot find them anywhere inside your LAN subnet it may well be that they have an arbitrary IP address somewhere else. In that case, probably the best option would be to reset the device to factory defaults and then reconfigure them.

  • Updating firmware etc. for E1200 router

    When I bought my E1200 router my primary (in fact only) computer was a Windows laptop.  Since that time I bought a MacBook Pro and have been using that as my primary computer.  The Mac is running on the latest OS (Mountain Lion).
    I would like to install the latest software to maintain the router on my Mac but I was told several months ago that there was no update available for Mountain Lion.  Does anyone know if that has changed, and if so where can I download the appropriate software?
    Thank you.

    I suggest that you install the cisco connect software to another computer. But you can always manage the router manually by accessing the router interface. If you need to check the wireless settings, you can still do that even if you don't have cisco connect.
    Please check the link below how you can access the router interface:

  • Can't log in to my Westell 327W router

    When I go to http://192.168.1.1, the URL automatically goes to this page--  http://192.168.1.1/edit_user_settings.htm  -- and I get a screen that says "User Settings".
    This page offers me the opportunity to change my USER SETTINGS.  There is a box that's shaded that says the full name of the user is Administrator; then I have 3 boxes to fill in:  User Name, password, and re-enter password.
    When I enter mynew user name and password and clikc on APPLY, a box pops up asking "Are you sure you want to change the User Name and Password?"
     When I click on OK, the screen clears and the same page (...edit_user_settings.htm) comes up. 
    What do I have to do to get past this page so I can interrogate the router?

    the routIt turns out, the problem was that the router did not like the password I entered.  For the sake of simplicity (and because my wife and I are the only people using this router) the password I tried to enter was..."password".  The router clearly did not like that password, but did not tell me.  So I tried a different password and that worked.
     But now I have a problem that arose when I tried to get further into the router pages.  I was able to get to this page:
         http://192.168.1.1/wireless_status.htm
    but when I click on the box on the left that says "advanced security settings", that brings up yet another (different ) box asking for my user name and password.  I've tried all the combinations and I cannot get past that box.  VERY annoying.
    I'm wondering what the results would be if I pushed in the RESET button on the back of the modem.  Would that reset it to its original settings, of "admin" and "password: for the uname and pword, respectively?

  • Westell 327w router.

    Dose anyone know if there is a limited number of wireless computer this router will allow to connect to your home network if you are using the allow only these MAC addresses dose 4 sound right or can I put more on the router.  Thanks for any help. 

    While I do not know the answer to this question, I have to tell you..
    #1 Mac Address(es) are always are sent in the clear regardless of the type of encryption.
    #2 Mac Address(es) can be spoffed / cloned.
    #3 If someone ( an attacker) did not know how to spoof / clone a Mac Address, then everything else sent without using (already connected) encryption will be seen.
    A type of already connected encryption is SSL. Most VPNs use encryption.
    For these reason I do not recommend using Mac Address Filtering. I would recommend using some sort of wireless encryption. Two examples of wireless encryption are WEP and WPA...

  • Westell 9100EM Router Firmware - latest version?

    I have a Westell 9100EM FIOS Router with firmware version 2.01.02.00  .  As far as I know, it's never been updated since the install several years ago since my update setting has been set to "Automatic Update DIsabled" from the pull-down choices in the Advanced Upgrade Firmware section in the Router setup screen. 
    All is working ok, no problems, but I was curious if there was a more recent firmware version available for download & install.
    I found a link here and downloaded the firmware file (haven't tried installing) but I wanted to see if this was the latest version as the version # appears to be an earlier version.
    The downloaded version # is A90-9100EM15-10_1.02.00.04 which would seem, at a glance, to indicate an earlier version # than my existing Router version.
    Has anyone updated the Westell 9100EM firmware recently with the above version?
    Solved!

  • How do I update the Firmware on the Quantum Router?

    So the Quantom router is missing a bunch of features the old action tech router had.  Advanced filteringis gone, I am hoping a firmware update would bring it back.  I go to look to upgade or check for a firmware update and that isn't there either.
    How do I update the Firmware on the Quantum Router?

    The current Quantum firmware version is 0.26.29.
    Firmware updates are automatically pushed by Verizon.  If you have an older version, reboot the router and it should pickup the new version.
    Enjoy.

  • Using WRT610N router with Westell 327W modem/router on Centurytel

    I have DSL with Centurytel and have a Westell 327W modem/router installed.  Can I install and use a WRT610N router with this setup to get a faster wireless connection? 

    Both the wireless router can work together...You need to cascade both the router.

    Hmmm, perhaps something like this with a USB extension cord would be a solution, they have better Range even without an extension than Airport cards ime...

  • How to enable WPS on Westell 327W

    I know I need to go into the router http://192.168.1.1/ but I have no idea what to do once I get there.  I bought Netgear WNCE2001 Universal Wifi Internet adapter to connect my direct tv receiver to the internet...but I don't see how to enable the WPS
    Thanks

    it doesn't support WPS?  Why does it say it does in the product specs?  That I looked into several times and my understanding was that it did and I just had to go into the router to enable it. 
    I am not sure where the "command prompt" screen is.  Is it when I log into http://192.168.1.1?
    I am trying to get my direct TV wirelessly linked to the internet using the adapter.
    When you go to 192.168.1.1 do you see a blue-and-white web page, or do you see a red-and-black web page?
    If you see a blue-and-white web page, then the 327W is running the original firmware that came from Westell.  If you see a red-and-black web page, then the 327W is running the newer firmware that Verizon made available a few years ago.
    There are some wireless devices that will not work when communicating with the blue-and-white firmware.  I had a 327W and a Sony blu-ray player that would not talk to each other no way no how, until I downloaded and installed the red-and-black firmware.  Then the routine set-up worked.  There are other wireless devices that communicate just fine with a 327W, no matter which version of the firmware it's running.
    I can't tell you whether you need to update the firmware in the 327W or not, but I hope the above helps. 
    About six months after I updated the 327W firmware, the 327W bit the dust.  I ended up getting a newer 7500 from Verizon, for less than $3.00 a month.
    If it were up to me, I would call verizon and ask them if the can replace the old 327W with a 6100G or a 7500, depending on my needs.  Failing in that, I would go down to a store and buy a server end wireless adaptor that plugs into the 327W, and set one of the two devices to bridge mode.  I've never done that, so I'll let others tell you how.  I don't like that solution, because it involves one more box.  I like to keep things as simple as possible, but not simpler than that.
    Once you have working hardware and firmware, setting up the wireless service is fairly intuitive, provided you understand the basics of what is going on.  The complexities come into play when you try to set your configuration to make your wireless network somewhat secure.  Depending on your location, this may be necessary to keep people from accessing your local files via a wirless LAN connection. 
    If I can find it, I'll try to get back to you with the location of a website that explains how to use the interface you get to when you go to 192.168.1.1.  By the way, if you go to http://dslrouter you should get to the same screen.  I find that easier to remember than the numbers.

  • IBook G4 Westell 327W problems...

    My wife's iBook has caused a unique problem....
    We upgraded to Bellsouth DSL 6.0, and with that got a Westell 327W modem/router.
    The modem plays nice with my netgear wgps606, our dell laptop, anything connected to an ethernet port, but....
    If the iBook is on and connected via airport, after about 10min (like clockwork), the modem will reset as if it was powered off, and turned back on. At first we thought it was the modem (this is modem #3)... all the modems did the same thing... We definitely know that the iBook is causing/related to this problem. My wife was out of town, and no problems whatsoever... when she came back, the problem resurfaced. Westell has the latest firmware, iBook is running 10.4.9
    Does anyone have ANY ideas how the iBook could be causing this??
    We never had a problem before w/any wireless router (previously had a Netgear 814 wireless) and the iBook
    HELP!!!!
    Thanks
    iBook   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Thanks for the advice, Rhonda:
    I tried the suggestions you made, but unfortunately I was not able to read the results of the S.M.A.R.T. status check. One of the symptoms of my problem is that no words are visible in any of the OS functions, so while I was able to open the window, and I could see and click on the HD icon, I could not read anything in the box to the right. This is similar to what happens when I go to a pulldown menu, or when I try to login.
    In addition, some things seem to work sporadically. For example, one time the computer wasn't recognizing my speakers, but the next time I turned on the computer, it did. Sometimes the dock is visible, and other times not. I am afraid something ominous is happening.
    And, yes, I did double check the available space, and it is about 23.47 GB. Thanks for the reminder , though.
    If anybody has any more suggestions, I am all ears. Thanks!
