Update firmware on airport extreme router

How can I update firmware on my airport extreme router?

Please checkout the following Apple Support article on the details on how to update your AirPort's firmware.

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.

Update Firmware on Linksys Wireless N Router? (WRT150N)

I have noticed there is a newer version of the firmware for my router. Is it necessary to upgrade to the newest firmware? If for some reason it does not work correctly is it easy to reset the modem to the original firmware? If I install it will it erase my current wpa2 pass key?
It is recommended that I update the firmware or should I leave it as it is? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

The only times that you need to upgrade firmware is:
1) when a router security issue is fixed, or
2) when a new feature it added to the router that you want to use, or
3) when router is not working, and all other attempts to fix it have failed
So, if your router is working properly, and there are no security fixes, and nothing new in the firmware that you need, then you do not need to upgrade the firmware, and you probably should not do it.
I always look at the firmware "version info" to determine if I want to upgrade to a new firmware. I looked at the info for the WRT150N, and I don't see any security fixes, or new features, so that only leaves item 3 as a possible reason to upgrade.
After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults. Doing this will wipe out your WPA2 key, and all other settings. After a firmware upgrade and reset to factory defaults, you should set the router up again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
You can return to an earlier firmware, using the same procedure as a firmware upgrade, but to do it, you must have a copy of that firmware on your computer. The router's copy of that old firmware will be wiped out when you upgrade, so you cannot depend on the router to keep a copy of the old firmware.

Windows Update and MI424-WR Router

I have seen this happen a few times where if I am updating large files through Windows Update, the MI424-WR Router seems to lose its DNS info and I lose the internet connection. I can still communicate between computers in the house. That is why I think it is the DNS is getting corrupted. It happens a lot more with the VISTA OS than with the XP OS. Anyway I have to do one of two things. I can flush the dns which solves the problem a small percentage of the time (10%? of the time). The other is I turn the router off and on. This works pretty much all of time. Any ideas? This appears to only happen with Windows update and not with any other internet activity. Also, it happen one time with XP but it was downloading a 284M update (full .NET SP pack). The VISTA seems to cause problem after about 30 to 45 seconds into the downloading process. To get around this, I try to update in small batches so I don't have to download a large amount at one time. This seems to work pretty well but it is a pain to have to babysit the computer during the update process. In the VISTA world, the update process seems to be a different process than going through the browser as in XP. Don't know who to contact. I looked on the Microsoft site and got some suggestions but they didn't solve the problem, just reduced the affect.

This sounds more like a router issue. I would first try to find a firmware update for your router and if there is one update it and see if that helps. If not I would call Verizon for a replacement.

WRT54G2 V1 can't update firmware plz help

I have searched and searched for anyone else that has had this problem and haven't seen a single post in hours of looking across multiple sites so I finally broke down and decided to post it. I am trying to update my router from the 1.0 firmware and when I go into the 192.168.1.1 > administration >upgrade firmware (192.168.1.1/Ugrade.htm) the screen doesn't appear and there is a little ! in the corner saying there is an error on the page (in firefox). I have tried this with multiple computers and they all do the same thing. I have tried unplugging it for 30 seconds and holding reset for 30 seconds. I have tried IE firefox and chrome. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

If you are unable to upgrade the firmware on your Router, Then you can try the steps mentioned by sabertooth and that should fix your problem.
On your computer try to clear the Browser Settings of your IE and Firefox and then try to upgrade the firmware of your Router.

When will updated firmware for the WRT600N be available.

Since the IEEE has approved the 802.11N standard, we should expect updated firmware supporting the approved standard.
Any guess when?

I made the assumption that all of the Draft N routers would get a firmware update once the 802.11n specification was approved. It sounds like I may have been too optimistic.
I can't really complain too much. The WRT600N router has been working perfectly since I installed it two years ago. I have been able to connect with devices running 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n (draft) with no problems. I also get excellent signal stength through both floors of a fairly large house.

I just updated firmware and it dosen't work.

I bought my router EA6500 and just updated firmware and it became a brick.The logo light keeps blingking and I can't even go into the setup.I downloaded the latest firmware and manually updated.It seemed went ok everything and said it's going to reboot but it went into this blingking mode.Is it because I did something wrong or it's because I bought a refurbished product.

Where was the firmware downloaded? Was it from the Linksys website? Resetting the router may straighten this up. Press and hold the reset button for 10 to 15 seconds. Then, reboot and reconfigure it. I'm not sure which version do you have but you may check it on the system label that is found underneath the device. Select the correct hardware version and download the firmware from this link. Once accomplished, reset again the router and configure it. If the same thing will happen, it's best to contact Linksys and have it replaced.

TIPS for UPGRADING SUCCESSFULLY the FIRMWARE of your ROUTER

WARNING, before doing the UPGRADE, it is highly recommended to back-up the configurations of your router so that no matter what happened, you router configuration wouldn't be messed up and you can just automatically restore it (the firmware version upgraded to it will just retain).
Here's how to:
>open http://192.168.1.1
>username: blank, password: admin
>go to ADMINISTRATION TAB
>under the managerment subtab or config management subtab, you will see BACK-UP & RESTORE
let me give you a very useful tips guys,
when updating the firmware of the router and prevent the firmware from bricking or being corrupted and get a very successful results you will need to set a static IP adress ( so you won't lose connection to the router when updating the firmware) and force the card to 10 half duplex (so your router won't reply unless all the packets when updating firmware has already ben set thoroughly to the router) of your PC prior to updating the firmware. then after the firmware, push the reset of your router for 10 sec. then redo the set-up.
You will also need to shut down the computers that are running wirelessly and disable antiviruses and firewalls that are running currently...
here are the instructions:
ASSIGN A STATIC IP ADRESS ON YOUR PC:
go to your control panel [select classic view (click the option on the left side right below control panel title)]. select network connections...
under LAN or high speed internet, you will see local area connection. right click on it then select properties
under local area connection properties, look for internet protocol TCP/IP. high light it and click properties.
once on the internet protocol TCP/IP properties, set it to use the following IP adress.
IP adress: 192.168.1.5 ( it must be same range of your default gateway: 192.168.x.x)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (that is the default one. if not then enter the IP adress of your router, to check it, open command prompt, then type in "ipconfig" [no qoutes] the dafault gateway is equivalent to router's IP adress)
click ok and click the close button on the local area connectipn properties window (not the common "x" button when exiting out a window).
BRUTE FORCE THE CARD TO 10 Mbps half duplex mode
go to the same window (local area connection properties), once there, you will see a configure button. click it.
you will be lead to fast ethernet card 10/100 properties (depending on the type of etherenet card you have)
once there, click on the advance tab
under property, highlight link speed and duplex or media type or connection type (it varies, but these are one of those variations).
under value, select 10 Mbps/ Tx half mode/ duplex
click ok and click close on the local area connection window.
Then proceed with upgrading the firmware of your router. after updating the firmware of your router, reverse what you have done on your PC. by setting back the internet protocol TCP/IP to obtain an IP adress automatically and DNS server automatically (don't forget to click ok and close for the windows opened before opening a new one, okay?). then set back the speed and duplex mode back to auto-negotiation.
You should be able to get a successful results already after updating it. click on this link to reconfigure the router (but you must be online first to the modem since when the router is resetted, the configuration of your your router will be lost) http://www.linksysfix.com/check/HomePage/index.htm?CallerID=CC to reconfigure the router

"a helping hand in a community makes the world a universe"

Eh...
My routers GUI doesn't have the option to back up config so that doesn't help. Can't see why that would mater much anyway for home networking.
Also, I upgraded the firmware on my router multiple times and never had to force 10MB half duplex speeds. So, that doesn't help much either.

Update firmware, or not??

Ok, I have the WRT54G ver 6 wireless router.
All devices I have hooked up to it work fine. The problem is, when these devices are hooked to it, as opposed to directly through the cable modem, the download kbps times are significantly slower.
Would updating the firmware on this router address something like this?

Wireless is slower than wired and the more things your downloading the more time it will take to download the file. If that is the problem try to get a wired connection and I'm not sure about the update of firmware but it should make it better than worse.

Stuck updating Firmware

I have duly run Software update, and after it restarted the Mac, Airport Utility popped up and informed me that new firmware was available (7.4.1 from 7.3.2 now).
I clicked the "update firmware..." button, and..... It just sits there saying "Searching for latest firmware version...."
I have tried restarting, nothing.
Any ideas?

I experienced this problem tonight when I installed a brand new dual band AEBS. I was trying to update the firmware from my 24" iMac, which is connected to the AEBS via ethernet but with a DLink 8-port gigabit router in between. I was extremely frustrated as not only was Airport Utility stuck on "looking for firmware," but I also could not configure the AEBS (it hung on "getting settings"). I don't know why, but I decided to try a different Mac in my house. Amazingly, I had no problems whatsoever (downloading the firmware or setting the AEBS) when using a 20" iMac that was connecting via WiFi rather than ethernet. That led me to play around with the ethernet settings on my 24" iMac. I'm pretty sure (but not 100% positive) that I solved the problem by turning off IPv6. To do this, go to the Network control panel, then click on Ethernet, then click Advanced. On the TCP/IP screen, under Configure IPv6, pick "Off."
If turning off IPv6 works for anyone else, please let the rest of us know.

RV082 v1 unable to update firmware

So I have the RV082 router. I had it with a 1.x version of the firmware for a while and I was able to update to the first 2.x version of the firmware a few months ago.
This router is fairly old but works ok. I like to keep it up to date. I recall always looking for firmware updates and not seeing any, then out of no where there are 3 updates to the software. I was able to install the second 2.x version of the firmware. Now I was trying to catch up and install first: 4.1.1.01 and then 4.2.3.03.
I have downlodad both files multiple times and have been unable to update the firmware. It always says secure connection failed.
If it helps I am using ubuntu 14.04 and the lates version of firefox 36.x
I don't know if anyone has had the same issue or if they have any sugestions on how to make this work.
I would rather install alternative firmware but since it is an intel chip inside, not many people are writing firmware for a router like this one. I dropped all of my other linsys/cisco routers (about 6 of them) except this one.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

> I have downlodad both files multiple times and have been unable to update the firmware. It always says secure connection failed.
I hope this is caused by requirement of HW version by these new firmwares. As you mentioned, you owns device with HW version 1. According download page it is clearly stated ("V3 hardware required"), that all never firmware versions than 2.0.2.01 requires HW version 3 of unit. I am afraid there is no newer firmware version for V1 HW version of RV082 than you already have installed.

I (mistakenly) updated firmware of my WRT54G Ver 1 with firmware V 7. The router is still working fine but now I have this problem: when I open the router for setting, the menu is unreadable and I cannot acces the menu. How can I repair it, or how to rollback? Thanks for anyone who can help.

Read the support articles for your router. Look for the article regarding a "blinking power light". It describes how to flash your router through tftp instead of the web interface. Follow the instructions and load the correct firmware with tftp to the router.

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!
