WRT160N Firmware 3.0.02

I was wondering if anyone has had a chance to try this new firmware out for the WRT160N?   I just purchased the router today and noticed it had version 3.0.00 already installed.  Also the Linksys easylink advisor tells me the 3.0.00 firmware is up to date?  Anyone help me with this?

You can upgrade / reflash the router's firmware if you are facing any problem...
Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -

  • WRT160N Firmware Upgrade V1 to ???

    Howdy,
    WRT160N with Version 1 Firmware.
    My main question is, do I upgrade to the latest Version 1 Firmware or to Version 3? The site says that "Not all versions are compatibale with your device." So, I'm not sure if I can.
    The whole reason this came about was that I was  using Easy Link Advisor (ELA) when it said there was a critical update that I needed. I tried to install that via the ELA several times, but each time the network map in ELA would continue to show a red line to my machine and that a critical update was available...something to do with a new software firewall or viris protection as it wanted me to shutdown (actually, I think it said to remove) my Norton. I'm not willing to remove Norton.
    Well I'm a Warcraft palyer and I started getting HUGE latency...upwards of 3000 to 4000 ms...
    I tried to uninstall the linksys software and the ELA. Then install again from disk with the wizard...no luck. So, I did it manually from the site to Version 1 after resetting the router (already changed my password from the default).
    Now I'm here looking to find some direction.
    Thank you.

    If your router version is V1 then you have to download the firmware available for V1 and not V2/V3...It will not work...Version on your router never changes, it will always remain as V1(that's the hardware version)...
    Firmware could be downgraded or upgraded by selecting appropriate version from here
    You can also update LELA here

  • WRT160N firmware upgrade

    according to the router, I have Firmware Version: v1.02.4-CA . All I can find on the site is
    01/10/2008 Ver.1.02.2. Should I stick with what I have, or can I install version 3? I suspect not, but it never hurts to ask. Couldn't find an answer on the foums. ( about going from 1 to 3...)
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    There are several hardware versions of your router. Click on "Where's my model number" on the download page for a detailed description where to find the exact model name and hardware version of your router. If you have only WRT160N on the label, you have a v1 router. You cannot use firmware version for a different hardware version. You will only brick your router.
    The latest firmware for the WRT160N on the website is Ver.1.02.2. There is no update available. Your Canadian firmware version is newer. Don't touch it.

  • WRT160N - firmware made it a brick

    I have a Linksys by Cisco WRT160N V3 wireless router.  Following instructions on the their website, I downloaded their latest firmware.  Again following their instructions, I updated their hardware and the process completed “successfully.”  As a result, the router is completely useless and in the state known as a “brick”.
    Having been a Linksys customer since my very first network card, I figured I was in good hands.  Dealing with such a large and successful hardware company for so many years, I figured I was in good hands.  Having been a hardware/software professional for more than 40 years, I felt easily qualified. But, that is where the logic, goodwill and reputation of Linksys goes out the window.
    I called their technical support multiple times.  The argument is since the router is out of warranty, even though it was their damaging firmware and/or instructions, it is my problem.  The bottom line is updating their hardware, with their firmware following their instructions, they have damaged my property and claim no responsibility.  Even one of their own technicians told me and I quote, “it happens to us here sometimes too and I am sorry, but there is nothing I can do”. 
    (Mod Note: Edited for guideline compliance.)

    You can follow this link to unbrick your router.

    I'm quite astonished by the lack of clarity here - and no response to the follow up question.
    I found myself in exactly the same position as this guy, and because I also was having intermittant wireless failures with my router I took a chance and downgraded to the US version.
    It seemd to have fixed the problem, but the lack of such basic information from Linksys/Cisco really makes me question my decision to have purchased this router.

  • After upgrading my WRT160N firmware, I cant access the router at all.!!

    After upgrading I cant access the router at all.!!
    I just upgraded the firmware to WRT160Nv2_v2.0.03.007_US_code.bin from a download.
    I had the CD ver 2.00.2 build 8 on it originally. I upgraded because the router would have the DNS problems everyone is talking about both wireless and wired. I tried the all zeros 0.0.0.0 and that did not work.
    Now that I upgraded, I cant get into the box at all. I dont get the log in screen. I have reset multiple times and power cycled through. The ip I am trying to get back in is 192.168.1.1
    How can I get this box to respond?

    Are you able to ping 192.168.1.1 from the wired computer...?
    Unplug the modem from the router,hard-reset the router for 1 minute,power cycle the router...Make sure that the computer is connected to the router on the Ethernet port...Now,Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...
    IP Address should be 192.168.1.x, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1......If you get the above mentioned IP Address, Subnet and Gateway Address then you should ping the Gateway, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...If it gives you request timed out then disable any firewalls, security software on the computer...
    If you get 4 replies then,go to start>>>run>>>and type "//192.168.1.1" and hit enter..If you are able to open the linksys setup page then,connect the modem to the router on the internet port and configure the router as per the ISP settings.

  • Everything works in cascade except I can't access downstream WRT160N

    I have a BEFSX41 Router as my main router.  A WRT160N V3 is cascaded downstream LAN port to LAN port.  It is all working just fine with one exception.  I cannot access the WRT160N setup pages. I think* its IP address is 192.168.1.2.  My browser's (Internet Explorer and Firefox) cannot connect via HTTP.  I can access the BEFSX41 at 192.168.1.1 with any machine in my network.  I cannot connect to the WRT160N with any machine. I cannot connect even with a PC connected directly to one of its LAN ports and nothing else connected.  A PC connected to the WRT160N (wired or wireless) connects to the Internet just fine when the system is all hooked up. 
    DHCP is enabled on the BEFSX41, I think it is disabled on the WRT160N but without access to its setup pages I can't tell for sure.  I have tried soft resets by powering the router on and off - no help.  I have not tried a hard reset as I am concerned that I will lose all my settings and won't be able to get them back.  When the system was put together two years ago it took several calls to Linksys tech support to get it all going.
    * I think it is 192.168.1.2 because Norton Security Suite's Network Security Map reports it that way.  My sketchy handwritten notes from 2 years ago also say 192.168.1.2 in some place but 192.168.2,1 in others.  Anyway, all the above aplies if I try ..2.1 instead of 1.2 when trying to access the WRT160N web page.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Mr/Ms. Dibbler – Thank you for your help. I reset the WRT160N to factory default and followed your instructions resetting it to 192.168.1.2 with wireless.  It all seems to be working well and I can access either router from any PC.  Now for some “fine tuning”.
    I guessed at some of the wireless settings and would appreciate your review:
    1) Network Mode – I used Mixed rather than Wireless G only even though my 2005 Toshiba laptop only works in B/G but not N. (The laptop is my only wireless device).
    2) Bandwidth – I used 20 MHz, not Auto 20-40Mhz
    3) Channel – I set it at Auto, I think the router selected Channel 6.  Will it stay there?
    4) Encryption - I used WPA Personal rather than WPA2 Personal because of the age of my equipment – correct decision?
    5) IEEE 802.1x authentication is not enabled on my laptop, the setup tab is grayed out. Is this a problem?
    More generally, how does one change the User Name and password used to access the routers via http?  They are set to the blank User name and admin password.  I don’t see anywhere in the many setup pages where it can be changed.
    MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) is set at AUTO on the WRT160 and it is disabled on the BEFSX41. Is this okay?
    NAT is enabled on both routers, Dynamic routing is disabled on both.
    UPnP is enabled on the WRT160n but disabled on the primary BEFSX41 router.  Okay?
    DMZ is disabled on both routers, I do not do any gaming.
    Considering that all is working well, should I update my firmware? My WRT160N  firmware is at 3.0.02 build 4, you have 3.0.03 available. The BEFSX41 is at 1.50.18, you have 1.52.16.4.

  • WRT160N Requires Regular Reboots

    So I have a WRT160N firmware v3.0 wired connection to my PC, and at least once a day my connection speed drops from 2mbs down to almost dial up speeds at 60kps.   Just unplugging the router then plugging it back in seems to fix it every time.   I've contacted my service provider and they say there's no issue on their end, and since I don't get this problem when I plug the modem directly to the PC I agree with them.    I've done a factory reset and that didn't help.  I've gone through the FAQ and can't find anything useful in there.    Has anyone experienced this before, or know of a possible solution?

    Its not a double Nat issue.    I have an Motorola SB5120 Cable Modem from Time Warner Cable.
    The slowdown is on both the wired and wireless connections.   I've done the factory reset/reboot thing in the past and it didn't fix the issue.
    Make sure to update the firmware to the latest version. You can download it here http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/routers/WRT160N. Reset and reconfigure.

    Does this happen to all the computers? Try lowering the MTU setting on the setup page and set it to Manual 1500. Save it then try again.

  • How do I install new firmware for WRT160N?

    Okay, I'm having the same DNS problems that everyone else seems to be having with this router. Wireless devices work fine, but my desk PC consistently fails to connect. If one of the wireless devices is actively sending/receiving packets, my desk machine works fine. I have a WRT160N v2 and the firmware version is 2.0.02, build 11 (the notorious one). My PC is a Vista 64 bit OS.
    I saw they have a new version of the firmware (2.0.03), which I have downloaded (to hdd). Can anyone explain (in step by step, simple terms) how this ignoramus can install the new firmware (assuming of course, that this new version will solve my connection problems). TIA for any information/instructions you all can provide...

    Upgrading the firmware resolves many problem, so you can try it...

  • Make Eyebeam 1.5 work threw WRT160N with firmware 1.02.2

    Greetings:
    I have an eyebeam 1.5 that I have tried and tried to get to work with my WRT160N with firmware 1.02.2 with zero sucess.  The Eyebeam will work perfectly when hardwired to the cable modem but will not work via the WRT160N wireless router.  Please help and tell me what to do do get this to work.  The eyebeam does not use an ip address to connect to the service but rather a domain name netcenter.republicsolutions.net. In the settings IP address is set to discover global address STUN is turned on and is set to discover server and ICE is enabled as well and xtunnels is set to never.  In the presence tab it is set to "peer to peer".  In the security tab  signaling transport is set to "automatic"
    Also the Eyebeam works perfectly on the wirelss router at work so this is indeed a Linksys issue.
    Thanks

    Well try to upgrade the firmware of the router which can be downloaded from the Linksys/Cisco website. Once the firmware is downloaded, you can proceed with the firmware upgrade even without Internet connection.
    • To prevent upgrade failures make sure that your computer is connected to the router using an Ethernet cable for stable connectivity. Upgrading the firmware wirelessly may cause permanent damage to the router since wireless connection may be unstable during the process.
    • Use a different Internet browser if Internet Explorer doesn’t work or use a different computer to perform the upgrade.
    • To prevent failure disable firewall to ensure that the upgrade will not be disrupted.
    • Make sure that you downloaded the correct firmware and version for your device to prevent technical problems that may damage the router.
    Here is the link for Upgrading the Linksys router's firmware: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=e9c2361ee7974d75913e61386a712188_4030.xml&pid=80&r...
    After upgrading it is recommended to reset the router, then reconfigure it again and then check the status.

  • WRT160N Router Firmware - Download page incorrect

    I am trying to check if the firmware on my new WRT160N was the latest (I have 1.02.4-CA). I found to the Linksys Canada support page for the WRT160N (http://www-ca.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Content_C1&childpagename=CAen%2FLayout&cid=1153781111465&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper&lid=1146512181N01) On that page I selected Downloads, then specified WRT160N and clicked on the link for "Firmware" which took me to http://www-ca.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Download_C2&childpagename=CAen%2FLayout&cid=1153781261058&packedargs=sku%3D1175241703067&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper&lid=6105812181B01 There are 3 firmware versions on that page and the newest one (5/14/2008) actually downloads the 4.9.8101 version of the MAC install wizard! The next newest version (1/8/2008, 1.02.2) on that page downloads the file WRT160N_1.02.2_US_code.bin which I sure don't think is a good idea to use over my Canadian firmware! I guess the website folks need to fix that. It doesn't look like there is any update to the Canadian 1.02.4-CA firmware version on my router?

    Well try upgrading the firmware of the router & keep on holding tightly the reset button in such a way that power light is blinking on the router & then do a complete network power cycle i.e., unplug the power cables from the modem & from the router & then plug in the power cable to the modem first once all the lights are solid green you could plug in the power cable to the router & check out it will definately work!! or else you could try downloading the firmware through ftp.linksys.com & you should be able to resolve the issue.
