Upgrade Firmware??

I have a WRT54G router and really haven't upgraded it for a number of years. The router itself is 8 or 9 years old. It is currently running on firmware version 4.20.7. It looks like the router is now on version 8.2. Couple of questions, should I upgrade and secondly can I go from 4.20.7 to the latest and greatest. Many thanks.

Are you facing any problem with your Router ?
What is the version number of the Router ?
Upgarding the router's firmware can resolve many problem releated with routers.So if you are facing any problem with the router...you may try upgrading the router's firmware...Download the firmware from www.linksys.com/download and save it on the dekstop.Now, go to Linksys Setup Page by typing 192.168.1.1 in the address bar...the default password is "admin" .
Under the Linksys Setup Page...Click on subtab firmware upgrade under Administration tab to upgrade the firmware...
Once you upgrade the firmware....reset the router for 30 seconds and reconfigure the router from scratch.

Hey mike,
the static IP of 192.168.1.5 has to be assigned to one of the wireless PC's that you have....make sure that you assign the static IP to the "wireless network connection" . once you have done so....check if you are able to see the SSID of the WER54G..connect to that SSID...and then try to ping 192.168.1.240 from the command prompt...if you get replies...then try to upgrade the firmware.
Can someone walk me through the steps of assigning the static IP to the "wireless network connection" referred to in the last post? I would assume you would right click on My Network Places, then right click on the "wireless network connection", but give me the steps after that. I don't want to screw anything up. Also, is it necessary to turn the router off, or can I just temporarily disable the connection on my laptop?
Thanks,

Hello Philly,
I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?) touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.

How to upgrade firmware on 7921g wireless phone from 1.0.2 to 1.0.4 via USB

how to upgrade firmware on 7921g wireless phone from 1.0.2 to 1.0.4 via USB?
The 7921g is connected via USB to a PC. I am using a browser to access the phone. Documentation says "Click the Phone Upgrade hyperlink under SYSTEM options. " but that option is not present or not visible.

You can use the Phone Upgrade area on the web page to upgrade firmware files on the phones by using the USB connection or by using the WLAN. To upgrade the phone software, enter the phone software TAR (firmware file name) or use the Browse button to locate the firmware file on the network.
To display the Phone Upgrade area, access the web page for the phone as described in the Accessing the Configuration Web Page for a Phone section available at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cuipph/7921g/5_0_1/english/administration/guide/21adm50.pdf

Please HELP me! This iPod - the gift for my girl.

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.

How to downgrade Timecapsule 7.6.4 to 7.6.1... I have no button "Upgrade Firmware" on the latest release of rhe Airport utility

With a TC 2nd generation, I have problem with Wifi dropping down after few days.
I'm running 7.6.4 firmware and it looks that people having same problems have fixed it with downgrading to 7.6.1
On the latest Airport utility (running on my MacOSX maverick), I could find any button (or menu) to upgrade firmware (or choose to downgrade to a previous version)
Has anybody an idea to force this downgrade?
Many thanks for your help!
Best
Marc

It is a hidden option.
Click on the TC in the airport utility.. then in the summary screen..
Click on the version with the option key held down.. all the other firmware available show up.. select one..

Can't Upgrade Firmware in Officejet 8000 Wireless Printer

I've been using this HP 8000 Officejet wirelss with a single usb connection without any issues at all. I set up a two computer wireless network with this printer also being wireless several days ago. No issues at all with the setup. The printer worked fine with test prints, etc. After several hours though I found the printer would loose connection as far as being able to print. It shows up as an avaialble printer, but will not print. A complete powerdown of the printer is necessary to get it working again. This would happen about every 2 to 3 hours. So I tried connecting the printer to the router with an ethernet cable. The problem is not as frequent now, but still happens. The firmware of this printer is 0842BR. There is a firmware upgrade for this particular printer which is supposed to fix issues with network connectivity plus a few other things. I cannot get this firmware upgrade to work with either Windows XP or Windows 7. In XP I get the error message: Firmware Download Utility has encountered a problem and needs to close. In Windows 7 if I just run the file, it extracts to about 47% and then just disappears. If I try to run it in compatibility mode, it says there is a problem with the file.
Can anyone please help me with getting the firmware upgraded, or does anyone have any suggesting on getting this printer to work reliabily on a network. I havee another Officejet Pro 8000 wireless at home on my home wireless network and it works perfectly. It has different firmware though. Thank you for your help!

I had similar problems trying to install the firmware from two different PC's running Windows 7-32-bit and Windows 7-64 bit.
I had an older system with a clean install of Windows XP SP3 that this Printer had never been connected to.
I downloaded and installed the latest "Basic" Printer Driver as well as the Firmware Upgrade to that PC.
I powered off the printer and disconnected and reconnected the AC power supply to assure a clean power up state.
I left the USB cable disconnected until the driver installation directed me to connect it.
I installed the "Basic" Driver for USB connectivity. I initially had connectvity problems trying to "talk to" the printer but switching to a different USB Cable solved that problem.
After all the above, the Firmware install went as described in the HP description.
The printer now reports the upgraded Firmware Version of "1006BR"
I hope my experience helps you with your firmware install.

RV016 - Problem upgrading firmware

I've downloaded the file "RV0XX-v4.1.0.02-tm.bin" from Cisco's web site. The current firmware in the RV016 router is V3. I log into the router with IE9 (or even firefox), navigate to the system management section, upgrade firmware tab. Browse to the file above and click the button to upgrade. Nothing happens for a few seconds, then the browser displays cant load this page. (Same results if I use the file "RV0XX-v4.1.1.01-sp.bin" as well.) Any thoughts?
Many thanks! -- Curt

Hello Curtis,
The v4 firmware is for use with the v3 hardware of the RV016. You can verify this by checking the model number listed on the router itself. (it will be listed as RV016v3)
