WRT300N V2 and 2.00.18 firmware

Strange, for a while WRT300N V2 2.00.18 source code is available on
the GPL code center but isn't general available as a firmware download.
gpl source code
Did linksys forget to release this firmware? Found a post on this forum 2.00.18 firmware
where kenan66 says that this firmware is only available when contacting
linksys support directly. What's up with that, where are they waiting for?
Hopefully this 2.00.18 will solve these intermittent dropouts when used
with a wmp300n. Very annoying, tried every setting and found out that without
the linksys connection app the connection is much more stable. I now use the
windows XP wireless connection utils to connect. But even with all the M$ WPA/Wifi
fixpacks installed there are intermittent dropouts, but fewer.
Please linksys, those wrt300n users out there need some after support!

k tried every driver out there for the Atheros AR5008. Results are
linksys(install cd),6.0.0.160,fails frequently, had to cold boot system to activate wireless again.
Artheros,6.0.0.197,fails frequently, had to cold boot system to activate wireless again.
Belkin,6.0.1.4,fails less frequently, had to cold boot system to activate wireless again.
Artheros,6.0.2.75,WHQL signed !, freezes so now and fails frequently, had to cold boot system to activate wireless again.
Linksys,6.0.2.9,Also known as STA_WMP300N_EU_1.0.0.15_20061016, fails frequently, had to cold boot system to activate wireless again.
I prefer the belkin ar5416.sys now over the others, but imho I think there is a serious flaw in the driver or hardware. It could be my pci card failing but reading the stories here I still have to find one who haven't had any issues with it.
And I see there is now a new chipset on the market the ar5008x, is this
a new design solving te issues the ar5008 had ?
Lot's of conjecture but i think it's time to send the wmp300n back to where it belongs, on the shelves @ linksys :-)

  • Can't get past login screen and accidentally added a Firmware password?

    Hi, please can you help me.
    Up until about a week ago my Mac Mini Server (running snow leopard server) was working fine, but when I re-started my user name and password stopped working (the panel shakes).
    I booted the computer from the Install DVD and changed the password. When I restarted this still didn't work. I booted again from the DVD and changed the password again, it came up with a warning about the password also needed to be changed elsewhere.
    I had a look round the utilities on the DVD and saw the Change Firmware Password (I know now this was a massive mistake!), so I changed that and clicked add!
    Now I cant boot from the DVD as all the Keyboard start-up commands don't work.
    I have tried starting up, holding down Command-Option-O-F. This didn't work.
    Checked to make sure the Keyboard is working.
    I also tried removing all RAM and holding down Command-Option-P-R and waited for this to chime 3 times.
    I cant find any thing else to try on the internet.
    I think to solve my initial problem, I need to Boot from the DVD and change the ROOT password, somehow login as the ROOT account then change the passwords. Is this right?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    Thanks,
    Regards Andy

    If you can remember the firmware password you set:
    Boot the computer with the install DVD in the drive (I'm assuming you have the external optical drive, based on your previous post) and hold down the OPTION key. You will see a screen with an input field. Enter your firmware password here, then press enter. The boot manager will load, showing you the internal HD as well as the DVD. Boot from the DVD, and go back into the firmware password utility. Enter the password in the old password field, and leave the new password fields blank. This will remove the firmware password.
    If you *can not* remember the firmware password you set:
    Open up the computer and remove only 1 of the 2 installed RAM sticks. Boot the computer holding COMMAND + OPTION + P +R and wait for 3 startup chimes. This will remove the firmware password.
    Once you have removed the password and are booted to the DVD:
    See this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1274
    You want the section labeled "Resetting the original administrator account password."

  • WRT300n V1.0 - where is current firmware on web site??

    I have a WRT300n V1 (not V1.1), and the support/download section dropdown for the WRT300n only lists V1.1 and V2 (no V1.0 or V1).  The release notes for the V1.1 download caution this is for V1.1 HW *only*, and Wikipedia entry for V1.0 HW says the HW is truly different (different broadcom chipset, etc.)
    Can anybody tell me where the V1 (V1.0) firmware is located?  Don't want to turn my router into a brick...
    Thanks!

  • Airport Express, WPS, 802.11n and 7.5.2 firmware - can this work?!

    Can't believe this hasn't happened to anyone else, but I can't find a relevant thread.
    I have a Time Capsule and an Airport Express base station. The Time Capsule was configured as a WDS base station, and the Express as a WDS Relay. The Express is less than a year old, ie 802.11n.
    Everything worked beautifully until firmware upgrade 7.5.2 which self-installed on the Time Capsule just as you would expect - except the relay stopped working.
    I've tried everything I can imagine, but I can't get the two devices to communicate with each other any more (even with the new firmware on the Express). I have read somewhere on the Apple site that WDS "doesn't work" with 802.11n, but this doesn't fully explain how it did work with 802.11n up until the time of the firmware upgrade to put it mildly. And releasing a firmware "upgrade" that stops existing configurations working, without warning, is not really an Apple thing to do.
    One thing I haven't tried is to revert to older firmware; do I really have to do that? Or is there something wrong here please, Apple? Or did I just imagine, for those 9 months, that the relay was working sweetly?!
    Don't know if this is related, but Airport Utility almost consistently fails to see both devices if they are both switched on, but can only see one or the other. Is it possible that the Express has developed a fault?
    Please help; I have an old house and I can't penetrate most of it without my WDS!!

    Might this apply?

  • ITunes 10.6.3 and iPhone 5.1 - firmware file???

    I am trying to find my "Personal Hot Spot" on my iPhone 4 so that I can use my new iPad through my personal hot spot.  First of all my iPhone is still on version 4 so I was told to update to version 5.1.  I was also told to update my iTunes to version 10.6.3 which I did.  After backing up my iPhone the next step is to download version 5.1 for my iPhone.  At the end of the download however, I still get something to this effect, "The iPhone could not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible".  What else can I try?  Thanks.

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the iPhone forums.

  • 80gb Classic - registration loop and can't update firmware to 1.0.2

    I finally talked my dad into getting an iPod and now he regrets the decision.
    We downloaded the latest version of iTunes, set up his library on an external hard drive, and spent several days ripping his extensive CD collection to the hard drive. When the time came to finally sync the iPod, everything went well until I clicked "update" to update the firmware to 1.0.2. It downloaded OK, but when it tried to install the update, we got the following error message: "The iPod Could not be updated. You do not have enough access priviledge for this operation." When we disconnected and reconnected the iPod to try it again, we had to go through the registration process again. This has happened each time we try to sync the iPod. This is on a Vista machine, and my dad was logged in with administrator access, so we're kind stumped as to what the problem may be. We've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, and resetting the iPod, to no avail. Any suggestions?

    We have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes again, and this time it seems to have solved the problem. Now we're having another one which I'm currently scanning the forum for solutions. Now he's getting repeated albums in the album list view. The same two albums are repeated on the iPod 13 times, where they are only in iTunes once. We tried using iTunes to restore the iPod, and we got the same "insufficient access priviledge" error message. AAAAARGH!!!
    But in answer to your question, Mobbie, I believe we have another computer we can use. Since the music is on an external hard drive, it shouldn't be too hard to try that to fix this new problem.

  • Seems N79, N85 and and 55 30 got Firmware updates

    http://www.intomobile.com/2009/12/17/nokia-n79-n85-and-5530-get-firmware-updates.html 
    Nokia (NYSE: NOK) has released updates for three of its Symbian S60 smartphones. Without further ado, here they are:
    Nokia N79 – after the update, the N79’s firmware reaches version 32.001. Details on what’s new are unknown at the stage, as we still haven’t seen the full change log. However, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t hit the “Update” button – quite the contrary.
    Nokia N85 – firmware version jumps to 31.002. According to AllAboutSymbian, this is mostly a bugfix release with tweaks on streaming and naming convention of GMail (Googlemail in the UK and Germany). I’m guessing, the N79 got a pretty much similar update.
    Nokia 5530 XM – once updated, the low-end all-touchscreen device’s firmware is in version 20.0.080. The 140MB heavy download updates Nokia’s Ovi apps (Maps, Store), Nokia Music widget, and so on. In addition, it’s fair to add some known bugs are fixed here as well.
    As usual, we advise you to backup your device prior to performing any updates, just in case…

    The N79 firmware listed there has not been released. It's only presented for a small number of product codes and is likely experimental at Nokia.

  • Macbook Pro has short battery life and runs hotter after firmware update

    I installed the macbook pro EFI firmware update yesterday and now my MBP runs hotter and the fan starts running earlier than it has ever done before. Also, my battery lasts 51 minutes from a full charge whereas, before the update, it lasted 2 hours (using the same programs and display settings).
    Has anybody else seen this problem?
    Please tell me I'm not alone with seeing this. I am hoping that there is a solution and it's better than 'buy a new battery'. The fact that my box now runs hotter with the fan on more constantly would not be solved by a new battery I think.

    Also had the problem of MBP running much hotter after most recent Firmware update.
    My fans have been running at 6k RPM constantly, and processor Temps have been running at 70-88°.
    Following the advice in this topic, I checked the Activity Monitor, which told me both my account and my son's account (which was running but had no actual applications running) had separate Airport processes going nuts – each at approx 80-95%!
    Switching off airport and logging out of my son's account almost immediately started to cool the processors, and the fans began to slow down. Switching Airport back on doesn't seem to heat things up again, but if I start to crunch numbers, it all happens over again...
    So who knows why the firmware update is making these processes freak out.... weird.

  • Windows 7 and 8.1 drivers firmware - on MacBook Pro 15" early 2011

    I have a MacBookPro8,2 1.0 - 15" - I purchased in March 2011. I have been using bootcamp 5.0 (upgrading now to 5.1) and running Windows 7.
    Two questions:
    1. what is the best way to know if I have the correct firmware and drivers for this computer?
    2. and does bootcamp support windows 8.1? thunderbolt display... others

    pushyourmind,
    If you’re up-to-date with Software Update, then you have the correct firmware installed. If you’re running 32-bit Windows 7, then Boot Camp Support Software 4.0.4033 contains the correct drivers; if you’re running 64-bit Windows 7, then Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5621 contains the correct drivers. Which ever support software corresponds to your version of Windows 7, try downloading the corresponding .zip archive and following the installation instructions on the corresponding link above when booted in Windows.
    Boot Camp 5.1 supports Windows 8.1 on your model MacBook Pro if you’re running OS X 10.8.3 or newer. Earlier versions of Boot Camp and older versions of OS X don’t support Windows 8.1 in Boot Camp on your model MacBook Pro.
