Which model really?

I've been having some trouble using my Linksys wireless router. Some client devices work fine, others won't connect. There may be no problem with the router, but I figured I would update the firmware to get the latest/greatest code.
The box the router came in says it is a model WRT54G. The bottom of the unit says it is a "WRT54G Ver. 2". According to the Linksys web site, the most recent firmware for that model is 4.21.1, released 1/30/2007.
I figured I'd see what the web site for the device said, just to be sure, and now I am confused. The header on each page says "Wireless-G Broadband Router WRT54GL", and the Status page reports "Firmware Version: v4.30.5, Apr. 27, 2006".
So--the box and case say WRT54G, the web page says WRT54GL. The Linksys web site says that 4.21.1 is the right firmware, but the device is using 4.30.5.
Have I got the wrong firmware? What firmware should I have?
P.S. The serial number begins with "CDF5"

If it is showing WRT54G version 2.0 on the bottom of the router ......... i will suggest you to use that firmware .........
Mort: Thanks. I don't know why I should believe the bottom of the device more than the inside of the device (the website), and so I think I will keep things as is until I hear something more definitive.

  • How can I know which model of K9A2VM I have?

    I have a K9A2VM motherboard with an Athlon 64 x2 3600+ AM2 CPU. I would now like to upgrade to an AM3 Phenom II CPU with lots and lots of cores.
    However, I have a problem. I don't know if I have K9A2VM-FD or K9A2VM-FIH and I don't know how to find out. I've opened my box and looked at the card, but it only says K9A2VM. By reading the specs and looking at pictures, I know it has to be one of them, or at least that it is not K9A2VM-F V2 since it only has two RAM slots and I have four of them installed. There are other obvious differences too, which I can easily spot by looking at the picture.
    Now, looking at the CPU support page for -FD and -FIH, they seem to have differences in what CPUs they support:
    -FD at least supports an X6: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/K9A2VM-FD.html#/?div=CPUSupport
    Phenom II X6    Thuban    HDT90ZFBK6DGR    1090T    200    3.20    3M    6M    E0    125    7501v1B.zip
    But the -FIH CPU support page is different: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/K9A2VM-FIH.html#/?div=CPUSupport
    If I can use that processor, I'm really happy. But -FIH doesn't seem to support Phenom II at all. So provided that the information in the CPU support page is correct, it's fairly important to me to know which model I have. But in case nobody knows how I can distinguish between them; if I buy a Phenom II X6 CPU and it turns out that my motherboard doesn't support it; what is the worst thing that can happen? Will I break the CPU or motherboard, or will it simply not work, but the hardware will still be fine?
    Thanks.

    So this is a MS-7501 Version 1.0 card, in addition to being a K9A2VM. The entire web refers to it as "K9A2VM-FD / FHI". One will work, and the other will go up in smoke. And there is no easy way to know which is which. So how can I know? The reason I bought this card was so I could upgrade the CPU at a later time. Now it seems that's not possible, because the available information is so very poor. I've never had to gamble when purchasing hardware from other vendors. Is this common for MSI?

  • How Do I determine which model ipad I need?

    I initially thought buying a baic 16GB Ipad with the 9.7" screen would be simple and inexpensive. But, the more I have looked, the more confused I am. I am so technically challenged that I do not understand the "specs", let alone how to use them. I have a basic nebook that I only use for emails, chatting, shopping and research. And that is because I do not know how to use all the features available. And I love my Kindle 3G Wi-Fi e-reader but it is not color and has the external  typing key pad, which has been ideal for me .  I do not even know how to text on my cellphone so I had the service removed since I did not use it. And I only use the Kindle for reading but was glad got the 3G Model but their is no additional monthly usage fee.
    But, now that I have been looking at the Apple ipads, I do not know if their  3/4G capabiliy service is worth the extra cost, as well as the high monthly serive fees? I am hoping someone can better explain why it cost so much more and just what the benefits will mean to me? Also, there any many benefits and added features but I do not believe I will ever learn t use many of them. And could someone please explain the advantage of "Bluetooth" and just what it means? And what other items or features will cost extra per month to use? Also, are none of the printer compatable? Is there no accessory to allow you to use a wireless printers? This was one of the most disappointing thing I have learned about the tablets. Aso, how is the quality of sound system?  Mine on the netbook is very poor and even with the volume on high, it is difficult to get good clear speach. So, I never watch moveis on my computer. And I am afraid it may be the same problem with the iPads? But, maybe with an external speaker or earbuds, it could enhance the sound? If so, at least I could listen to music.
    In the beginning I was not concenred which model but now after reading more about the latest Apple, I feel the new easy to read screen is something I need. So, I hope someone can help me select the right model without my buying much more than I will ever need or use. I look foward any assistance you great tech savvy users can provide. I believe it always helps to be an informed buyer. So, trying to do my homework to prevent buyers remorse.
    If it is permissable, you may email me with your information and suggestions on just what features I need to look for.

    Varjak paw:
    I don't think you can purchase the 3/4+ wireless service unless you pay the extra for one that has the capabilities. So, if we are not certain we will need it, it is a tough decision. It it has the capablities, you are not required to purchase a monthly contract. You can just use as needed.
    I do not know why this has become such a major decision for me but the more I hear, the more confused I am. The problem is it would be nice to have the special wireles service available if needed but I think it may be more beneficial to me to pay the extra 100.00 and get the 32 GB instead of the 16? But, my granddaughter says I will not need that much.
    My initial plan was simply to purchse the 16GB wif-fi and keep it simple. But, after learning the advantages of the Newst model and the improved screen, I thought I should get it since I have vision problems. Another problem is these things are outdated before we can decide which one to get. And some have suggested it will be more diffucult to get parts and have them repaired with an older model. Howeverm from what I have seen with these new electronic items, they are dispoable. Usually, if something does go wrong, it cost more to repair than to replace them.
    I am just experienceing this with my Kindle 3G/Wi-Fi. It is only a couple of months out of warranty but it is now freezing up. Also, it is loosing my place, and skipping pages and even paragraphs. It was working perfectly until about a week ago and of course, no one can help. You have to return it for them to check it and let you know what the problem could be and If it can be repaired. This is very disapointing to me since I was just planning to buy the Ipad. And now, I may have to replace the Kindle, which I wanted to keep for just reading. I have so many books on it and they are all in order and organized. So, this has put damper on what to do about the Ipad. If I were sure I would like to read on it as well as I do the Kindle, I would just the the Ipad and not get another Kindle. But, I will need to see what the problem is first. I really enjoy the Kindle and wanted to keep it just for my books. It is so fast and convenient to use. At least for me since I like the typing pad on the outside rather then the touch pad. But, I suppose I will learn how to use the new one? I am just so illierate when it comes to using any electronics. I cannot use a remote control,.:) I only use my computer for email, chatting and surfing since I do not know how to use many of the functions and applications that are available on it. I do not even have text on my cell phone. I have kept my electronic to a minumim. But, I thought I might enjoy the Appple Ipad and could learn to use it online so I would not have to have the computer on all the time?  But, I cannot beleive how expensive it is compared to a netbook or laptop when they will do much more than the Tablet. I suppose the Ipad is a luxury for those who can afford all the lasted new technical items available.
    I did try a Pandigital Tablet before I bought the Kindle and did not like it at all. So, I returned it and got the Kindle and was so pleased that I could use it so easily. And I did not need the color screen, I just hope the Apple Tablet will be easier to use than the Pandigital or I am afraid, I will be to hard for me to learn to use it and be able to  take full advantage of of getting around on the internet, I had a problem with the ohter touch screen scrolling back up before I had finished typing in all the information I needed. And I had to download from Barnes and Nobels and there selection was not nearly as good as the Kindle and they were much higher.
    So if anyone is patent enough to read all this and can understand what I need and could provide your  expert advice, suggestion and opinions, I would love to hear from you and any or all the issue in which I need help.
    Thanks - Sunny in SC

  • Just got new T530 with wrong wireless card. Which model of Intel 6300?

    Hey all, been surfing the google god for a few days but can't seem to find a secure answer that makes me happy. Just got a new T530 model 2359 laptop for my new job. Other then one stuck pixel that refuses to go away im pretty happy with it as I upgraded the CPU to the i5 3320 cpu model with the nvidia NVS 5400m GPU so it can power dual 24" monitors on my new Lenovo dock. 
    What sucks is that my manager got me the wrong wifi card, the standard thinkpad 1x1 b/g/n wireless card so I can't connect to 5ghz and or dual band routers like I have at my home which I really want for reliable and fast wireless cause I will be using it a lot around my work building as I do IT support for users so I wanna be able to use all the antenna's to help my range.
    I took the laptop apart and I do see a third wire not connected to the thinkpad 1x1 mini card so should be able to use 3 antenna's on my T530?  My big question is which 6300 card would the correct one for my T530? I know apparently there are "white label" cards from IBM that don't work in certain machines but considering I'm putting it into a IBM, I would think I would be ok?
    Also, I do have an HD webcam buit in and I've heard that apparently some Thinkpad models you can't use three antenna and have the webcam working? 
    I'm curious if this white label centrino 6300 is the one I need

  • Which model of memory upgrade should I get for my MacBook Pro early 2011 model? I now have 2 - 2GB modules.

    Which model of memory upgrade should I get for my MacBook Pro early 2011 model? I now have 2 - 2GB modules.

    Installing RAM in a 2011-2012 MacBook Pro
    There is really only one way to install RAM into a 2011-2012 MacBook Pro and while there are hundreds of DIY videos online, I just like this one, found on YouTube, by “macmixing”.
    Note that there is a difference in the RAM that should be used in 2011 and 2012 models.
    2011 models must use:
    •204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
    And 2012 models must use:
    •204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
    So here's the video:
    Remember that the 13", 15" and 17" 2011 models (early or late) and the 13" and 15" mid-2012 non-Retina models can handle 4GB, 8GB or (unofficially, but, believe me, it works) 16GB of RAM. There are, in my opinion, only two 100% Mac-compatible vendors out there: Crucial and OWC. I really can't recommend any other brands, even though it may work, as these are the only brands that I've personally used in quite a while. Also remember to stay away from any RAM that is a “value” brand - Macs are picky about RAM and often these value RAM modules just don’t work very well.
    Good luck,

  • Which model should I buy?

    Hi,
    as a newcomer to this world,I have a "problem", which model I should take.
    I am not sure in selecting with or without 3G. I am almost sure that it will be a 32GB version, just to be sure it is in the middle. Or is it too much thos 32GB?.
    My idea with the Ipad2 is:
    - reading my emails
    - surging the web (reading newspapers, discussiongroups,...)
    - Maybe playing some kind of games like RPG,racegames,... Althought I mostly play using the NDS of my kids
    - Maybe watching a movie in bed
    - Reading Ebooks and PDF´s.
    I have a Wifi network at home. When I am on holiday I don´t have internet, althought I never had 3G internet before (as it is very pricy in Spain), I can buy the 3G service for a month I guess. Althought living one month without Internet is acceptable
    The 3G comes with a GPS system, but do you really use that in a car? I have a PDA with GPS, so I normally can use that.
    One million question: Would it be interesting in spending an extra 100€ for having the 3G and the GPS? Or is the 3G only really inresting for business people and normally as a normal user you just use the Ipad at home using your Wifi?
    Please give me your opinion.
    Thx,
    David

    Yep, I would wait a little while longer until you get the iPad befre getting a case - see how you like the iPad and what sort of case you want e.g. Do you want to cover the back or not, do you like the feel of the iPad in your hand in which case you might want a sleeve rather than a case etc. I don't think it will take the manufacturers long to get lots of really cool iPad 2 cases on the shelves now they have experience with cases for iPads, but waiting a few weeks will give you more to choose from.
    I personally don't use protection plastic, I'm careful when I use the iPad and I've never damaged or even scratched my original iPad, and I'd rather out the money towards buying cool apps! If you are going to handle your iPad roughly, take it out and about a lot or have children who will be using the iPad then you might want to consider plastic protection, but really the glass is pretty hardwearing.
    The only other reason I can see for using a stylus is if you want to use the iPad as an artist tool to do sketching and painting on the iPad - people with a bit of artistic talent (not me!!) can produce amazing art on the iPad and a stylus really helps for that.
    Bet you can't wait for the iPad - enjoy it when you get it!

  • I am considering getting an iphone...  Which model is the best for me to get?

    I am considering getting an iphone... I do not care about getting the "latest gadget", but have all apple products and would love the convenience of the calendar, music, camera, etc... on my phone. Which model is the best for me to get?
    Is it really worth it for the newest (and most expensive) model, or is the 3G sufficient for regular use? or is the 4 now the most basic model I should invest in? or do I really have to get the 4S?

    Hi there .
    I have  WAG120N  home router .
    I need to add  VPN connection in my router so all of my device( my phone and my tablet) can access to the internet through my router but look like there is no option for doing this in WAG120N.
    So I decide to buy new model and I prefer to buy linksys modem.
    I really don't know  which model is right for me Please if you can help me for selecting  my modem . thx a lot

    Hi,
    Your WAG120N is a VPN Passthrough device. Just make sure that VPN tunnel passthrough are enabled under Security - VPN Passthrough on the ADSL Gateway's Web UI. Are you planning to setup your own VPN server? If you do, please check this link for some guide: http://www.vpnbook.com/howto/

  • How to tell which model?

    I am trying to identify exactly which model MacBook my friend has. I emailed a copy of her System Profile to my laptop, figuring that's all I needed. Her machine is no longer available to me to look at.
    Well, she has a white MacBook that fits two closely related models and I can't tell which one hers is just using the Profile. It is either the Apple MacBook "Core 2 Duo" 2.0 13" (White/06) Specs (MA700LL/A) or the Apple MacBook "Core 2 Duo" 2.0 13" (White/07) Specs (MB061LL/A). I can't find a part number in the Profile. The main difference seems to be that the standard optical drive for the 06 was a 6x Superdrive and for the 07 was an 8x Combo drive. The Disc Burning subsection of the Profile is:
    Firmware Revision: BE38
    Interconnect: ATAPI
    Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)
    Cache: 2048 KB
    Reads DVD: Yes
    CD-Write: -R, -RW
    DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW
    Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO
    Media: To show the available burn speeds, insert a disc and choose View > Refresh
    I'm not really clear on what this stuff means. It looks to me as though it must be a Superdrive, which would make her MacBook the 06 model. Can anyone tell me definitively?

    Possibly a quicker solution: plug her serial number into the online service assistant and it should tell you the resulting model.

  • Which model to buy...

    I need some help deciding which model to buy. I currently own an:
    imac g4 800 MHz
    with a 15 inch flat panel
    512MB SDRAM
    60G Hard drive
    2x Superdrive that only writes to DVD-R
    There is no question in my mind that an upgrade would make me happy. I just need to decide on what to upgrade to.
    I may have narrowed it down to any of the imac g5 models.
    First, i'd like to know if i would experience a significant difference editing in final cut pro (i do freelance video editing) with a new imac g5 as compared to editing in my current imac g4 (particularly in exporting and compressing). Ofcourse, i'm certain that it would be faster. But i may be expecting too much of a difference. Apple even goes so far as saying "forget you ever waited for your computer to do what you said" on the website. The optimist in me wants to expect something mind blowingly fast. Can anyone shed some light on this for me.
    Now, to my specific choices (i've narrowed it down to 2, based on my budget which i've stretched to its limit):
    (1) imac 17"/2GHz/512/400G
    or
    (2) imac 20"/2GHz/512/250G
    Option 2 is just about $20 more expensive than option 1. So i'm leaning towards option 2 because I do alot of graphic arts, web design and video editing work and a big canvas to work on really makes a big difference for me. But i'm also thinking that the 150G extra hard disk space could be very useful.
    So, it's a question of bigger display or bigger hard drive for me.
    I'm still leaning towards option 2 because I can eventually buy an external HD in the future if ever i'll need it and have enough money (is this a good idea? i've seen a few "problems with external HD" posts in the forum).
    So in summation:
    In purchasing my new mac...
    (1) Will I experience a mind blowing difference editing videos in final cut pro compared to the current mac that i currently have?
    (2) bigger display or bigger hard drive?
    And if you think I should choose from a different set of options, please feel free to suggest. I will be more confused, but I always believe in putting much thought in purchases like these. If you've read this far, thank you and my apologies.

    Well I am going to throw a wrench in the works...
    I not going to give a complete History here, but I have edited on a 800MHz iMac G4, an iMac 1.6 G5, and a couple of PowerMac G5's. I have also used Photoshop on all 3. For my money, I would get a Dual. Maybe wait for a refurbished on the Apple site or check eBay. IMHO, a fast dual G4 will outperform a slow single G5. Of course a Dual G5 would be the best. Is there a mind-boggling speed difference between the single G5 and the double? There will be in rendering. This is one process that REALLY uses both processors. Besides that, I think you would more likely see a mind-boggling performance increase in the dual. I can Compress my video and still work in Photoshop and hardly know it on a Dual G5. I could not do that on my iMac G5. You would know when processor intensive tasks were being performed. Finally, you break out of the all-in-constraint. Maybe you don't get the biggest screen now, but you can add one later (& CRTs are better for color & cheaper!), you can add a hard drive (highly recommended), more RAM, a PCI firewire card (which bypasses 99% of all the problems you read about) and so on. The next time you need to upgrade computers, the only thing you will need to upgrade is the computer. And a refurbished G5 isn't anymore than a new iMac. I should also add that the more RAM in any machine the better, but it won't make any difference in terms of rendering. Rendering is processor intensive. Period.

  • Just purchased a 15" Macbook Retina Which model do I have?

    Hello everyone,
    Today I was lucky enough to purchase an open box 15" Macbook Pro Retina from Best Buys for $1200 (With some store manager employ discounts ) and I wanted to know which model I have. For example from the first day they released the 15" Retina how many models or changes did this product have? Now I compared it to the tech specs on Apple.com and I'm just confused with the graphics details. Here are some pictures of the details of my Macbook:
    The current one that's for sale on Apple.com has a :
    Intel HD Graphics 4000
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory and automatic graphics switching
    All help well be greatly aprecateted. By the way this thing is just amazing and I'm coming from a 2010 early model 13" Macbook Pro. WOW!!!

  • Hi! I'm a Windows XP convert... switched to an imac about 4 months ago and am LOVIN' it  As a graphics designer I did use a feature on my Windows machine which I really miss on my mac... beaing able to see a preview of one of the images in a folder on top

    Hi! I'm a Windows XP convert... switched to an imac about 4 months ago and am LOVIN' it As a graphics designer I did use a feature on my Windows machine which I really miss on my mac... beaing able to see a preview of one of the images in a folder on top of the folder icon. In other words, in Windows, you can see the first image that is inside the folder as an icon on the folder itself. Is there a way to do this on the mac? Maybe some software program that will do it? Thanks for you help!

    It would be brilliant if Apple could make picture folders behave like events in iPhoto. You could see a photo on the folder, and also mouse over it to change pictures.
    But no, there's not an application I'm aware of that does this. You can manually make a picture the folder icon, but it's a tedious process.
    Unfortunately this is another example of how dated and worn out the Mac's interface is. The concept of using a file folder as the icon for a directory of images is so 80's. You could use coverflow, but that only helps once you're in the directory itself. Or use iPhoto or Aperture, although they just do photos. Or try Lyn as an alternative: it has a sort of iTunes-like interface, and makes it easy to organize photos without having to put them in iPhoto. And it can display photos that are already in Libraries.
    But you'd probably need a Finder alternative. I use Leap, which displays any type of document. It also does tagging, which is another huge omission in the Finder. More like Windows Explorer (although still no photo on folder icons).
    Another very stylish Finder alternative, especially useful for pictures, is FileBrowse. I don't know why it hasn't gotten more attention. It DOES put photo previews on the folders it shows. And allows one-click expansion to show the photo enlarged. It's super fast, and even allow you to group/sort by camera or flash! It really has to be seen to be appreciated. It works in Lion, although it doesn't seem to be have been updated lately. http://www.filebrowse.com/index.html

  • I would like to know which model has been discontinued? is it EOS 600D or 650D?

    i would like to know which model has been discontinued? is it EOS 600D or 650D? 
    And is 650d at 1650 a good deal? 

    In North America the 650D is the marketed as the EOS Rebel T4i.  It has been replacd by the T5i (in some other markets that's the 700D).
    The T4i was nearly identical to the T5i (cosmetically they are identical other than the mode dial is slightly different on a T5i).  It would not have made sense for Canon to continue to market both so they dropped the T4i.  The T3i is different enough that they still make that model.
    The list price on a T5i camera including the kit lens (EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM) is about $850.  
    A price of $1650 (assuming that's US dollars) is extremely high.

  • Need Advice WRT iPod Purchase - Which Model?

    I've never considered buying an iPod before, but I've been making a lot of business trips by car in the past couple of years, so having music to play all long the way would be A Good Thing. But, which model to buy???
    I don't think I'll have the need to play videos, but I like the idea of having an info screen. I'm not sure the Shuffle is for me, because I'd like to have more control over what's playing and what to play next. But I can't imagine having more than 6 or 10 albums stored at any given time. My tastes in music just aren't that broad.
    However, I have thought about the option an 80GB iPod would give me. That is, I could copy all of the installer disc images for all of the Final Cut Studio discs and the latest updates to the OS and support apps. Then when I'm on a Final Cut system support call, I'd have all the files I'd need in a very small package, rather than a large firewire drive.
    So, advice anyone? Thanks.

    Thank you. Yes, I'm familiar with that type of FW drive. That would be buying two new devices. Not out of the question, but if I could get by with one, it would be a bonus.
    The iPod nano, huh? I assume the display on those will help me see what's playing and what song I can choose to play next, right?
