WRT110 Firmware Upgrade Crashed IE8, Router Does Not Work

Last night, at 2:30am EST I felt the need to upgrade the firmware on my router.  I downloaded the latest firmware for the WRT110 v1.0 and attempted to upgrade the firmware. Close to the end of the firmware upgrade process IE8 crashed and left my router in a state of limbo.
I called Linksys support only for them to tell me that I have 3 options (all which included paying money to them) :
Pay $40 to add 6 months of extended warranty to the router and support for it
Pay $30 for a one time support call
Buy a new router through them with waived shipping.
This wasn't exactly what I wanted to hear at 3 am, so naturally I was quite irritated.  Of course, the supervisor asking me if I was sure I downloaded the correct firmware and telling me to go on the internet when it's obviously not working really did not help either.
I tried the two reset options suggested by the forums here and the supervisor on the phone, pressing down the reset button for 30 seconds and pressing it down for a minute and unplugging for 30 seconds.  Neither worked, so the supervisor essentially told me the router needed to be replaced.
Now, is there any actual way of getting the router back to a working state?

There is always a way. Check this topic and follow the procedures.

    You should contact your bank to see what browsers they support and until then ignore the message. The chances are very good they suppport Safari and Firefox, both are great browers.

    As of Firefox 4.0 and newer one needs at least OSX 10.5+ and Intel hardware.
    The latest you can use on your Intel with OSX 10.4.11 is Firefox 3.6.25 (released recently) which can be found at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    If you were to update to say OSX 10.5.8 then you can use Firefox 9.0.1

  • Port Forwarding in WRT54GL Router does not work

    When i forward ports in the firware it does not work correctly. I tested it using http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ and it still said that the port was closed.

    Who is your ISP. When you do port forwarding make sure you have entered the IP address of the computer for which you need to enable port forwarding. Under "Security" Tab uncheck "Block Anonymous Internet Request" and click on Save Settings.After this try testing if that port is opened or not.What ports numbers you are trying to open on your router.

  • I keep upgrading and it still does not work - call me with a solution - now !!

    I just need to take a few pages to take out of a document and create a new doc.  I had the software and now it does not work.   So i keep buying what I am told, by Adobe, will work, twice.  Is this a continual scam to keep buying ??????????????????????????????????????
    I need a solution now.  If you can not help do not contact me, if you do not contact me I am going to discontinue the services I have.  You have 24 hours.  Today is 11/10/2014 6:34 EST.

    Hi Paul,
    I'm sorry for your frustration. You have an ExportPDF subscription, which you can use to convert PDF files to Word format. It does not allow you to remove pages from as PDF and create a new PDF. It looks like you may have placed an order for an Acrobat subscription today, but it has not processed. Once it does, you can download and install Acrobat, and then use it to extract pages from a PDF (choose Extract from the Pages pane on the Tools panel).
    Best,
    Sara

  • Wireless Router does not work

    I am at a university that does not want you to use wireless routers, yet everyone around me still has theirs and when i open my Airport dropdown, i see numerous wireless networks that are run by students.
    My router is the ZyXEL HS-100W (a cheap router, but it has always worked for me in the past).
    When i turn the wireless on through the router's firmware, it is registered on my airport's list, and when i type in my password (WPA), I get the green light in network prefrences and it says something along the lines of "user assigned IP" I have full bars, and it says I am connected, yet whenever i try to open a webpage, it says that I am not connected to the internet.
    I tried to turn the firewall off inside the router, and it did nothing, I tried to use no security to see if that would work, and it did not.
    I do know that we have to register MAC addresses with the computer department here, so I am not sure if there is a way to do this within OSX or within the firmware.
    I know that this is probably very vague, but I am looking for whatever support I can get.
    Thanks
    ben

    it was a good suggestion, but i cannot find a place to manually set a MAC.
    The closest i could find is under the WAN page, there is a tab called WAN MAC.
    in that tab is "spoof this computer's MAC Address - IP Address" and then has a spot to input an ip address (the default is in the 192.168.. just generic ip).
    i tried to input my computer's ethernet mac address, and it didnt work.
    maybe there are futher suggestions based on this?
    also, i am not sure if this matters, but when the router is plugged in, and I am wired to the router, i can get internet, but once i switch to wifi, i dont get internet. maybe that will help.
    thanks
    ben

  • Since I upgraded to Mavericks Mail does not work at all

    I upgraded to Mavericks yesterday (10.9.1) and now Mail simply will not work. The first time I opened the app it said it was upgrading messages and spent a while working on that. I did not interrupt the process but then it crashed and now it does not even start up.
    I have repaired disk permissions and restarted in Safe Mode but it didn't help.

    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • After updating my MBP to firmware 1.1 my internet does not work anymore

    Please help,
    A couple of days ago my MBP asked me if I wanted to update to Firmware 1.1 and I did. I followed the steps like it said and when I restarted it my internet was not working anymore. I called my internet provider and they tried helping me but no luck.They gave me the codes and I tried to set up the PPP address and other codes.
    I am using a DSL cable and a Ethernet connection.
    Does anyone know how I could solve this?
    Thanks!

    Try resetting your iPad:
    Double click the Home button. Slide up with one finger on ALL your apps to close them.
    Then, Press the Sleep/Wake button + Home button and hold 15 seconds or until you see the Apple logo.
    This will reset your device without erasing data, apps or settings.

  • WPS push button on the Linksys WRT610N router does not work. Please help.

    Hi,
    I am facing problems of the WPS Push Button on the Linksys WRT610N version 2.0 router which has stopped working. I don't see the Blue LED blinking. The WPS button no more works on the router. It was working before. I did a firmware upgrade. Could this be the cause?
    Please help me in solving this issue at the earliest.
    Leo.

    when you reset the router, did you notice that your network name changed?
    also check the settings on the router if the wps is enabled.
    with a computer wired to the router, are you able to go online?
    follow the instructions in this page to setup wps
    to connect another computer to the network, follow the instructions here

  • WRT610N New Firmware Upgrade and USB Hard disk not working

    Hi, I've just upgraded the new firmware, everything seems fine but now my USB Hard disk is not recognizable unless i restart the router. I have a Seagate FreeAgent 500Gigs, and it worked perfectly with the previous firmware. Just wondering if its just me or anyone else has the same problem. 
    Thanks 
    I forgot to add that afterawhile the hard disk isnt recognizable again and i have to reset it to get it working 
    Message Edited by jellydish on 02-13-2009 06:09 AM

    The same thing is happening to me... After the HDD goes to sleep, when you goto access it again you can hear it spin up but you still can't access it at all.

  • WRT300N Router does not working with Intel 4965AGN adapter on Wireless-N

    Hi! I have recently bought the laptop Acer 5920G with Intel 4965AGN network adapter and Windows Vista. I have read that WRT300N Router is supporting Draft-N standard, so I purchased it. The router is working fine on Wireless-G 54Mbps (firmware - 2.00.17), but not on Wireless-N. I tried to enter the following settings: ssid - any non-linksys name;  radio band - wide; n-channel - 9; standard channel - 11; beacon interval - 50; Fragmentation threshold - 2306; RTS threshold - 2307, but nothing has happened, connection still remains 54Mbps. How should I configure the router and network adapter to get Wireless-N?

    okay... try reflashing/upgrading the firmware on the router, after reflashing the firmware on the router, reset it back to default settings and reconfigure it according to ISP settings...edit the wireless settings again, make sure that "wireless mode" should be mixed...
    on the vista computer, click on start >> control panel >> network & sharing center >> manage wireless network and try removing existing wireless networks from profile and manually add wireless n/w profile according to wireless settings of the router...check whether it makes any difference or not and let me know.

  • The parental control function on my Verizon MI424WR Router does not work

    I created few rules on the Parental Control section of my MI424WR Router admin page but it still allows internet access.
    Does this router completely shut down the internet access, lets say if I set it 10pm-12am Disable connection? I read someone's comment on another post, MI424WR is actually cuts down the bandwidth into 1/2, but not completely shut down the connection. Is this true? If so this is useless....

    Parental controls can block all access.  The bandwidth reduction info is wrong.
