WRT350N - How to tell if it's V1 or V2? Having major problems with it

I have a WRT350N that I purchased about a year or so ago and I'm trying to figure out if it's V1 or V2. Seems like tons of people are having problems with this series. I was having problems with the wireless connection going dead constantly (5+ times a day). Since I work from home this was obviously not acceptable. I upgraded the firmware after talking with Linksys tech support. After that, the problem got much worse. Now the wireless connection goes down as well the router loses it's internet connection. I finally removed it from my home network and put my old reliable D-Link 614 back in place. It's been working fine and actually has way better range. Before I throw this WRT350 in the trash I would like to see if mine is V1/V2 and if there is anything I can do with it.
Thanks!
Matt

To find out the router's version number look at the bottom of the router, it should say Model Number : WRT350N, right next to the model number if it says V2 then it is version 2 else it is V1...I assume it should be V1...
If you have intermittent connection, you should download and upgrade your router's firmware from here
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful"  After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab,
- Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bit.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...
Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...
Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13 version. Evidently something in that extension isn't compatible with a Firefox security fix. Disable that extension or un-install it.

    I'm using Lion on an MBP and Numbers is the latest version

    May you give more details about what is wrong with your dates ?
    M…oSoft products aren't allowed on my machines but I use LibreOffice which is a clone of Office.
    When I export from Numbers to Excel and open the result with LibreOffice, the dates are correctly treated.
    To be precise, dates after 01/01/1904 are correctly treated. dates before 01/01/1904 are exported as strings but, as it's flagged during the export process, it's not surprising.

  • I am having major issues with links in keynote! Even though the links (a navigation system) are on the master page, they are only working on some of my slides. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this or similar issues? Help!

    I am having major issues with links in keynote! Even though the links (a navigation system) are on the master page, they are only working on some of my slides. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this or similar issues? Help!
    I have created a navigation system on the master pages and set the presentation to links only mode. I also have other links scattered throughout the program, like a linkable table of contents, etc. Some of them work, some of them don't. Not sure why. Anyone out there having similar issues? Or have any idea on how I can solve this issue? Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Links should not create any problems in Keynote.  If they are set up correctly on text, the text will be underlined. Objects that have links will have a curved arrow bottom right, if you click the arrow a popup will display the link information.
    Try this repair for Keynote,  ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:

    delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application

    empty the trash:  Finder > Empty Trash

    Shut down your Mac, wait 30 seconds, then power on the Mac, immediately after the start chime, hold down the Shift key
    When you see the grey Apple symbol and progress indicator (a spinning gear), release the Shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, then hold down the Shift key again as you click Log in.

    Let the Mac fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive

    when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and click  repair disc permissions

    when complete, restart the Mac normally, Apple menu > Restart

    install Keynote from the Mac App Store
    let us know if this helped

    this is all greek to me. WHAT IS STARTTLS? On the first page of Apple set up there is a TLS certificate and it is marked NONE- should I change it to the long APPLE CERT option?  The next page under ADVANCED: THERE IS A BOX SSL MARKED.  Then IMAP Path Prefix - I put stmp.gmail.com.. is that right?  Port 993 can  use this one? as 456 doesn't work and 587 said it wasn't safe.  Under AUTHENTICATION I used PASSWORD.  Should I have used external client cert TLS?
    Please help me set this up securely. Thanks

    You may have a hard drive problem. When I installed Lion, the installer told me that it couldn't complete because the hard drive was failing (or broken, the exact words escape me). Since the HD had been functioning just fine, I took it to the Genius Bar, and found out that yes, the hard drive was slowly dying (bad sectors). I couldn't reboot into Snow Leopard, the installer wouldn't let me and then the drive just wouldn't work at all.
    I had to replace my drive and restore from Time Machine. Thankfully, I had Time Machine, and had just done a backup 5 minutes before the crash.
    Best of luck.

    im having a problem with my mic on my ipod 5th gen it works but it douse not pick up any sound  unless I  talk right next to the mic but it sounds low  . how can i fix this

    - Make sure the mic hole is clear and unobstructed. It is the little hole on the back by the camera lens(if has back camera). For the 16 GB one without the back camera the mic hole is on the top edge near the center.
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Spam has greatly increased in my inbox.  It was not a problem before. How can this be improved?  Is anyone else having this problem?

    What mail program are you using???  Who's your provider???
    You can usually log in to your account and make changes to spam filtering, server side.
    Client side you can add spam filtering software like SpamSieve.  Very effective.

    I had a major problem with my PC yesterday, and subsequently had to reload Mozilla Foxfire. When reloaded, it opened with "Welcome to AOL - Mozilla Foxfire". I don't want AOL associated or tagged with Foxfire. I went in to "Programs and Files" and deleted everything with AOL, including Quicktime. Tried loading Foxfire again, but it still opened with AOL tagged. I do use AOL for emails and some browsing, but I want to use Foxfire soley for browsing and search engine. And yes, I did also reload AOL. Can't seem to figure out why AOL is tagging onto Foxfire. Hopefully I have not lost all of my Foxfire Bookmarks - that would really suck.

  • I am having many problems with Firefox 5 how do I go back to Firefox 4

    Whenever I log on to mymsn via Firefox I get this error message: TpyeError: Components. classes[cid] is undefined. Also I used to be able to type in an address or select one from the drop down menu and it would go to the site now I have to click the icon on the right hand of the address bar. Also when I am in a site and there is a link to an email like Craigslist it will not allow me to email. I have to get the email address and go into my mail and manually email. I did not have any of these problems with the last version of Firefox. So! how do I go back to the version I had before, it was way!!! better. Thanks Don

    '''''TpyeError: Components. classes[cid] is undefined. '''''
    That message is usually caused by an incompatible add-on. You need to do a little bit of troubleshooting to determine which one, and then disable that particular add-on until you can find and install an updated version which doesn't cause that error. <br />
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    Your other problems might be cause by that "incompatible" add-on.
    Firefox 4 isn't supported any longer, Firefox 5 was a security update for Firefox 4.01. The version to "go back" to would be Firefox 3.6.19, if that is what you would prefer to do. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
