Wrt160n v2 cannot ping after firmware update WRT160Nv2_v2.0.03.007_US_code.bin

Router:  WRT160N V2
I updated the firmware because I was tired of getting "page does not exist" errors.  But after the firmware update I have not been able to ping the router using 192.168.1.1. 
The Power icon on the router flashes.
When connected to the DSL modem the modem will connect to the internet and the internet light on the router will come on.
When the PC is connected to the router the router port number that you plung into icon will light up.
Pinging 192.168.1.1 will timeout
So far I have tried:
Hold the reset button down for 5 seconds (then another suggestion was 30 seconds,  and then another suggestion for a full minute)
(I never see any kind of response from the router as a result from holding down the reset button.)
Unplug router for a full minute
Unplug modem
Shutdown PC
Plug modem back in
(wait until the lights are on the modem become active.)
Connect the router into the modem.
Plug the router into the power supply
(the modem will connect to the internet provider)
(the router will display the following icons: power symbol (flashing), internet symbol, and port number connected to the PC.)
Ping 192.168.1.1  (timeout)
IPConfig /release (and /renew...which errors out)
I have had this router for a couple of months and I am concerned that I will not be able to take it back.  If the reset button has no affect and I cannot communicate with it I am concerned that I am in for some bad news.

Had you tried upgrading the router's firmware using wireless computer ? You should use the wired computer to upgrade the firmware...
Now as the Power Light on the router is flashing you can try steps below..
- hold down the reset button for about 30 seconds, then unplug the device, while you are still holding down the reset button.
- leave unplugged for about 5 seconds, while you are still holding down the reset button.
- plug the unit back in, while you are still holding down the reset button.
- after about 5 seconds, let go off the reset button.
Now, check if the power light is solid now...

  • Ovi Maps 3 don´t start after firmware update (6220...

    Hello!
    a few days ago I installed ovi maps 3 on my nokia 6220c and it works well. Later I updated the firmware from version 03.06 to 05.15.
    After firmware update ovi maps don´t start-> "Cannot open application. Install latest version from nokia.com/maps."
    But Nokia Map Updater says, there are no updates for my maps.
    What´s wrong?
    Can I reinstall Ovi Maps 3? Or is it possible to install Ovi Maps 3 new?
    thanks

    Hello!
    The Map Updater said: "there is no update for your phone" ...because maps 3 is already installed.
    But in the meantime I have found a solution!!
    I downloaded maps 2.0 from the German nokia page and installed it. Later I started Map Updater and could update to Maps 3 and now it works!!!
    I think the problem was: I first updated to Maps 3 and later updated the firmware. There was any older version of fixes included in the firmware update, so Maps 3 was damaged...
     thanks
    sorry for my bad English

  • Restoring after firmware update - Ways :)

    Hi All,
    Nowadays we are receiving quite a few complaints that customers are unable to restore the application after updating their firmware.  I would like all to discuss to come up with some ways to restore their applications after firmware update.
    Before updating firmware
    Customer can backup his phone using Nokia PC Suite's Content Copier application.
    He can store his Contacts and Messages using Nokia Communication Centre as .csv file or .txt file.
    For his Contacts he can sync with pc suite supported sync applications.
    Messages he can store in Memory card and he can make a backup of memory card in PC.
    If he is using Nokia PC Suite for his Multimedia items he can use Image Store if he is using Nokia PC Suite or Nokia Photos if he is using Nokia OVI Suite.
    For Music he can use Nokia Music Manager or Nokia Music.
    Once after updating his firmware, if he is unable to restore he can get those from above said applications.
    If his calendar entries are not restored(as in case of some of Nokia e 71s and Nokia N 95/95 8 GBs), for God's sake if he has got one more similar device(or device having switch application on phone), he can restore the backup file to another phone having switch application, then he can transfer his data (Contacts, Calenders etc ) to his original phone
    Dear Forum members, if you have got any other work around please let me know regarding the same, which will help our customers

    Hi,
    If you have issue in Nokia PC Suites, [subject to your phone's compatibility with Nokia OVI Suite 2.0.0.10 ],
    you can install Nokia OVI Suite 2.0.0.10 and check if you can take backup and restore it later.
    Also i would suggest to use USB for taking backup, since it will be faster than Bluetooth.  Also you can select one category at one time(say backup contacts alone, then Calendar, then messages etc and so on ....)
    Its better to skip memory card backup while backup-ing other Phone data for faster backup.  Memory card backup can be done separtely(since it wont be affetcted while updating firmware, users can safely remove memory card while updating firmware)
    Nowadays though recent phones has got UDP(User Data Prevention i.e., even if you update your phone's firmware, your data wont get erased ), still it is recommended to backup your phone data.
    Hope this could help
    I welcome our experts to add more details related to this topic.

  • Problems after firmware update 52.0.007

    Hi,
    I got my phone back after the shop fixed a problem and updated the firmware to the latest version 52.0.007.
    But now I have following problems:
    I can't get the calendar anymore to show up on the homescreen, even after checking the checkbox to do so
    The Radio app. is gone
    Does anyone has a solution for this?
    Iwan

    It may sound crazy but sometimes you need to "hard reset" device after firmware update (beware all data erased) by keying in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by yourself). Sometimes UDP = User Data Prersevation feature of 5800XM can carry over corrupt entries when updating.
    Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5

  • Linksys WRT54 G V1.1 - Problems with SBC DSL after firmware update

    I have a Linksys WRT54G version 1.1. I also have AT&T SBC Yahoo! DSL with the SpeedStream 5100 DSL modem.
    It previously had the original firmware, as I never updated it. Last night I updated the firmware. It was successful. However ever since I have not been able to successfully connect to my SBC DSL.
    I set it to PPPOE and used my SBC username and password to connect but it would not connect. Router name, domain name, host name and the new field called "service name" were all left blank previously....so I do not think anything changed there. I talked to the SBC technical support and the lady had no information to give me regarding any of those fields because the router was 3rd party....she gave me the Linksys number but how are they supposed to know any of SBC's specific information?  Anyway I figured I mind as well post here instead of waiting in line for an on-line Linksys technical advisor.
    There were also new added options in the updated firmware version like "advanced settings" I believe it is called....since the firmware update the "router" was set to be a hub instead of a router....so I changed it to router. Then I was able to go to status and finally be able to connect. Prior to that it was giving me an error saying it was not able to obtain an IP address from the server.
    Although I was able to connect to the SBC DSL service through the router I am still unable to actually get an internet connection. Cannot receive weather through weatherbug or access websites through IE7. For the time being I disconnected the router and have the modem hooked directly to my desktop. This works OK temporarily but I'd love to get the router up and running again so I could use my wireless laptop as well as the increased security that the router provides.
    If you can think of something I am forgetting or doing wrong with this new firmware update let me know. There are a bunch more options and settings than the original firmware that I am not really familiar with. Thank you in advance!

    With most AT&T systems, the modem does your PPPoE login.  The Linksys router should not repeat this login.  Instead, in the WRT54G, the "Internet Connection Type" should be set to obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP).  This is the factory default setting.
    Additionally, after a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch.  If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
    So, to fix your system, do the following:
    First, reset the router to factory defaults.
    To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
    1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
    2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
    3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
    5) Power down the router.
    6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
    7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
    9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
    10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
    If you get this far without problems, then power down your network, then wire the ethernet port on the 5100 to the Internet port on the WRT54G.  Leave one computer wired to a LAN port on the WRT54G.  Power up your network.  It should work.
    If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router might be dead.  Report back with this problem.
    If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, report back with this problem.
    If you need additional help, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
    Please let me know how things turn out for you.

  • Power Light Blinks after firmware update to 1.00.17

    I have model # WRT54GX4.
    It has worked great, i just wanted to update the firmware.
    I updated the firmware from 1.00.15 to 1.00.17 and now the power light just blinks.
    Based on what i read it sounds like the firmware needs re-loaded because it could be corrupt on the router now.  It could have been the way that i upgraded.  i was in wireless mode when i did the upgrade thru the web utility, mayby i should have been plugged in.  The other thing is that i use 192.168.1.X range (not 192.168.0.X range), i am not sure if the firmware upgrade changes the ip back to 192.168.1.1, which affected the upgrade.
    In either case my power light is blinking.  i also tryed to hold the reset button for 10 seconds, i also tried 30.  After that i plugged directly into the router from the pc using a regular patch cable.  I change the ip on my machine to 192.168.1.8 and the subnet to 255.255.255.0 to match the router.  i am assuming that the router is reset to 192.168.1.1 now that i pressed the reset button.  After doing all this i get a network connection, but i cannot ping 192.168.1.1. 
    Here is my other question.   To fix the issue i would think that i would have to run the firmware upgrade utility from outside the router, now that the router is not accessible.  But the download page does not have a firmware utility like the other models.  The instructions want you to use the web utility on the router.
    Please help.

    HI,
    u can upgrade the router from the "outside" using the tftp utility available at ftp.linksys.com/pub/network/tftp.exe .
    however you first have to be able to ping the router....reduce the NIC speed to 10Mbps...assign a static IP to your PC ...reset the router and then try to ping....once the ping is confirmed....you can upgrade the firmware.
    and yes the default router IP should now be 192.168.1.1

  • After Firmware update for my 5th gen ipod computer no loger recognizes ipod

    I updated the firmware for my ipod (a pop up informed my after connecting my ipod that a firmware update was available) waited 20-30 minutes my ipod stayed lit with the "do not disconnect screen" After it rebooted itself -accordingly to part of the update's description. THe ipod never showed up on the ipod dock again nor on my computer's desktop. There are no longer any ipod tab is missing in the itunes prefs as well. I went to disk util -NOTHING- My computer no longer recognizes the ipod -not even as a generic drive. Ive tried different usb ports no dice. Tried the reset on my ipod, tried rebooting my computer several times. I am running the latest version of Itunes 7.01. I purchased my ipod and computer around (last April or May). HELP!

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • MacBook Pro Won't Boot after Firmware Update

    So I just upgraded to a MacBook Pro which came in the mail yesterday. I removed the Apple-installed HD and swapped it out for a bigger, faster HD. I installed OS X from scratch, imported everything from my Time Machine backup during the Setup Assistant, and then started installing updates. Everything was running swimmingly until the last updates.
    What happened is when I rebooted my MacBook Pro and logged in after a series of updates, I got presented with both a Bluetooth update and a Firmware update at the same time. Both required a restart so I thought I would kill two birds with one stone. I installed the Bluetooth update, and then when it asked to reset I installed the Firmware update instead. However, the firmware update didn't behave as advertised because instead of shutting the MacBook Pro completely down, it restarted and then started installing the firmware update.
    Ever since the firmware update (which I think installed correctly but don't know how to verify), I cannot boot my MacBook Pro. Using the OS X install DVD I can view my firmware version using System Profiler, and the number it is reporting is MBP53.00A.B03.
    I have tried booting in verbose mode to try and get a feel for the problem, and it eventually hangs on an infinite loop saying something about not being able to find something on disk0s2.
    I also thought I would fix the problem by doing an Archive and Install, but it quit at the very beginning of installing with the error "unknown error".
    Also I thought I would format the disk with Disk Utility and then try installing again, but Disk Utility reports that it in unable to unmount the volume.
    Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
    -- Update --
    Remember how I'm unable to unmount the drive? I force unmounted it and then used Disk Utility to repair the volume, but still no luck.
    I think the key to the problem is this new HD I put in runs at 3 Gbps. I think I read somewhere that the new MacBook Pro's don't support that.
    I think next I should try swapping out the new HD in my MacBook Pro with the one it originally came with. What do you think?

    I, too, have a brand new MBP 15" that I put an Intel X25 in. At the 1.5 (Prior to Firmware Update) setting, it worked fine. I rant the Firmware Update, all looked fine, but the drive is no longer able to be seen.
    Flash the PRAM, per other suggestions to no avail. Boot off of the DVD and disk utility nor Profiler sees the drive.
    Replace the drive with the stock that came with the MBP (which I had never even used) and it works.
    Put the Intel X25 into a Windows machine and it works fine. Reformatted it (in windows) and put it back into my MBP. Still not able to see it (from the Disk utility after booting off the DVD).
    Intel's firmware for the drive says its up-to-date (new drive) and if I attempt to "re-run" the Mac Firmware Update, it says that the machine is already up-to-date.
    Seems odd that it worked before an now it doesn't. Also seems odd that the X25 works in other machines. And that my MBP works just fine with the stock Hitachi 7200 320GB drive.
    Ideas? Intel says to call Apple Support. Not sure what I can say to them.

  • Nokia Maps lost after firmware update

    I had Nokia Maps installed on my N73 some time ago, it worked without problems. Now when I updated the phone software to v4.735.3.0.2 it is included in the base software. But the new version (1.2) does not show any map data - only a blank screen (and the globe).
    I use only the free parts - no network, no GPS, no guides. The maps I downloaded with Map Loader. It has a new version too, so I installed it, deleted the old maps and re-downloaded some of them. But they still do not show onscreen.
    There is also a downloadable version of Nokia Maps 1.2, but it cannot install on the phone - some error appears. Neither can I uninstall the version on the phone - it says "Cannot delete file".
    What is the problem? Is it that the phone language is Bulgarian, while the maps are in English (there are no maps in Bulgarian)? It was not a problem before, and the UI still appears in Buglarian.
    Or, maybe there are some trays of the older version which I can delete manually. In fact, it was first installed in phone memory (so were the maps). Then, I moved the maps to the memory card, and after a previous phone software update, I installed the application on the memory card too.
    Please help me find the maps. Thanks!

    I managed to view the maps somehow:
    1. Connect the USB in card reader mode
    2. Download the maps using MapLoader
    3. While the memory card is connected, copy and paste the \private\20001f63\diskcache folder to \cities\diskcache in Windows Explorer
    4. Disconnect only from the tray icon on the desktop
    5. The maps are now visible.
    This is obviously not a perfect solution. The maps use double space on the memory card. The network cannot be used to update them, only Map Loader. After any download the steps above must be reapplied.
    The application cannot be uninstalled/reinstalled. It seems all the problems appeared when Nokia Maps was included in the firmware and concern users which had installed it before on phone memory. I hope they will be resolved in next software update from Nokia.

  • Can't stop Thunderbolt display from flickering white lines after firmware update (Yosemite)

    I am having serious issues after the Thunderbolt Display Firmware Update 1.2. Running Yosemite on MacBook Pro and I am now getting white lines that gradiate from the bottom to the top of my screen across multiple browsers, apps and even the finder window anytime I move my mouse. I cannot take a screenshot (it stops when I try) but I posted a video here:
    http://youtu.be/3zOKL1JFp5M
    It is impossible to work this way and after 20 minutes of watching my screen constantly refresh anytime I move my mouse I am feeling nauseous.
    Is there anyway to UNINSTALL this firmware update? I was not having this kind of problem before. Every once in awhile I was finding my Thunderbolt display would not wake up after sleep and I thought the firmware update would fix that, not cause more, crazier problems. It is causing this gradiating line problem on my Thunderbolt display AND my MacBook Pro screen, which is even more bizarre.

    I updated and no issues with my 2012 Mini so may be computer related.  I believe once a firmware has been "burned" into the chip it cannot be redone.

  • Contacts don't show after firmware update (V05.23)...

    After a firmware update I can't restore my contacts.
    If I tried to enter them manually, I have the message "Contact saved to phone memory" but my contact list stayed empty.
    Apparently they are really saved somewhere in the phone, since I can see them if I synchronize my phone with my PC. Bt there is no way to access them from the phone.
    Anyone had a similar issue before ? 

    Very same problem with my 6730c. Updated firmware from Menu > Settings > SW Update. Now I fully cannot access my contact book (all contacts are stored to SIM card). These can be used from any other phone. When a person from contact book calls me it shows name. I can only call people who called me and so saved to Logs. Please update firmware as soon as possible, I wish to use my phone

  • Lync 2010 Polycom CX600 phones fail to sign-in after firmware update

    We're running the latest version of Lync2010 in our environment of approximately 1,500 Polycom CX600 phones across 5 Standard edition sites. After rolling out the latest firmware update 4.0.7577.4444 this weekend about 10% of the phones do not come back
    online as the user they were previously signed as.The firmware was approved on a Friday evening and Monday morning we were still experiencing the issue.
    The phone is stuck in the following error message:
    "Sign-in Error
    Cannot sign in. Please verify your sign-in address domain\username, and password and try again."
    The phone did update to the latest version of firmware but is stuck in "limbo". Doing a traffic dump on the port it's connected to did not reveal anything as the phone is not attempting to communicate with any servers. Only a power
    cycle (unplugging POE LAN port) makes the phone sign back in. Just to clarify, after the power cycle the phone signs back in on its own as it seems that it still stored the user's sign in information.
    We connect to the voice network via LLDP and we have Alcatel-Lucent 6250 switches that these phones connect to. We also have the DHCP options for the phones to find our voice network for areas that do not have LLDP capable switches.
    Just to recap, about 150 phones experienced this issue across all sites and we cannot narrow it down to anything specific about the environment. Performing a power cycle fixes this issue but it is extremely annoying.
    Any suggestions?

    Try to move back to the previous version or you may need to reset each phone manually.
