WRT54G v6 firmware upgrade under Vista problem

I'm not sure if this is related to Vista or not.
I downloaded the correct firmware version for WRT54G v6 and selected upgrade using the web interface. After a few minutes, the browser directed me to a site with the following URL
http://192.168.1.1/upgrade.tri
My IE7 had problem displaying this page and the Power LED on the router kept blinking. I tried to connect to the web interface and it was still showing Firmware Version: v1.00.9
I don't think there is anything wrong with what I did and not sure if the upgrade was successful. Any suggestions?

I had the same problem. I found the solution here http://www.scorpiontek.org/portal/content/view/27/36/1/3/:
This could be because you are accessing the router over HTTPS. You cannot upload firmware or settings to a WRT54G v5 over a HTTPS connection unless you have Linksys firmware v1.00.9 or later. Try accessing it using just plain HTTP.
Enabling and using http instead of https worked for me. No need to reset or reconfigure.
I upgraded from 1.00.1 (IIRC) to 1.02.2.

WRT54G V8 firmware upgrade, easylink issue

I was having the typical dropped connection issues that these routers seem to be famous for (WRT54G). The easylink application was installed and working. I upgraded firmware to the newly released 8.00.4. After the firmware upgrade the easylink app. still worked for all functions except for setting wireless security. For that, any changes had to be input manually through the web based utility or whatever it is called (inputting 162.198.1.1) in the adress bar.
I had a software conflict and had to uninstall the Easylink advisor software and then reinstall it. After reinstalling, the easylink will not recognize the router at all. Message states something to the effect that the router is either an old Linksys not supported by easylink or another brand. I know this has to be because the easylink has not been updated to work with the new version of the firmware.
Is there any way to get the Easylink advisor to recognize the router with the new firmware?
Or, is there a link to the previous firmware version so that I can flash the router with the previous version? Then I could get the easylink to recognize the router again and will only lose security access after I re-flash with the new firmware.
Or, is there anything else I can do to get the easylink advisor software to recognize the Router with the new Firmware installed?
Thanks

The Easy Link firmware should connects using the new firmware ....
Reset the router for few seconds ,.......After reset disable all firewall & run Easy link tool .....
It will work .....

WRT54GS V6 - Firmware upgrade needed (2.07.1) not available?

Trying to Install WRE54G V3 to existing WRT54GS V6.
According to the WRE help screens, I understand that I need at least 2.07.1 firmware in the router (mine is currently @ 1.50.6)
However, when I go to download the firmware, the latest version available is 1.52.0
What am I not understanding/missing? Thanks, George
P.S> Even though I did download firmware V 1.52, I was not able to 'expand' it as my trial version of Stuffit claimed it could not recognize the file...)

What is the model number plus version of your router?
In your heading you say you have GS ...in your message you say you have a
G router You also say in your message you are upgrading from G V3 to GS
v6
If you have a G router you have to update to the latest G firmware not GS and vis versa

WRT54GS V6 Firmware Upgrade

I am trying to do a firm ware upgrade to the WRT54GS V6 router. However, when I go to its web page (192.168.1.1) - alI get is the layout of the Linksys web page, but no text labels or links. I can not do anything - any suggestions?

I used Firefox 2.0.0.2 and IE 7.0 Just this morning without such incident. The problem is definately in you computer.
I'd imagine that the page loaded improperly the first time and it's now stuck in your browser cookies erroneously. Exit the poorly loaded page, then clear all cookies, browser histories and temporary files, and then close and restart your browser. When you go back to the IP address page it may load properly the second time.
Hope this helps!

Determining Ver number on WRT54G for firmware upgrade

I can find no version number in the config or on the box.
How do I determine which version of firmware to use 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 2.2, etc
thanks

Found it !
Save a restore file and the name will have a version number in it.
I have a version 1.0

Firmware upgrade stopped mail from sending emails

since i had the firmware upgrade Ive had problems sending email using the Mail programme.
Nothing i have tried has fixed this issue and ive scoured the net looking for a resolution.
Has anyone else had this problem and how have you fixed it.
Im a bit of an idiot when it comes to technical stuff so a for dummies explanation would go down really well.
cheers

sorry for the late reply
I can receive mail but no SMTP servers will send out mail and i have tried four different ones including my ISP's
I have also tried another mail package (thunderbird) and im getting the same problem.
I have been unable to send mail on my mac now for months.
Does anyone have any idea how i can rectify this - no changes have been made to my router settings so its not a firewall issue.

E90 Firmware upgrade

I have downloaded and installed the Software Updater. However, while running it, it wanted to download a 73mb firmware upgrade. My problem is that because I have a slow connection, 73mb can take up to 3 days to download so I had to cancel it.
Is it therefore possible to download that upgrade piecemeal (using GetRight) and run locally instead of being connected 24/7 to the Internet?
Regards.

Your options are:
- go to a friend, relative, colleague, university, etc., where a higher speed network connection is available, and update there
- go or send the phone to your nearest Nokia authorized repair/service center and ask them to do the updating for you
- get a faster internet connection at home
- live without updating the firmware until one of the above options become viable for you

Having problem with firmware upgrade on WRT54G V8

i have searched the forums but havent found an answer. i just got a WRT54G V8 router and was about to update the firmware. i downloaded the .bin file and went to my router ip addy and then to the firmware upgrade tab but when i went to click the browse button nothing happened. does anyone know whats wrong?

If you are using the wireless computer then,do not use it to make any changes or upgrading the firmware on the router.Use the wired computer.If you are using the wired computer then,try to use the different browser (preferably IE)or different computer.
If that does not make any difference then,hard-reset the router and try to upgrade the firmware.

WRT54GS v1.0 Drops Connection under Vista, Fix?

Since an upgrade to vista my router has been droping the internet connection at random times, and quite frequently. Sometimes i will be connected for hours, other times it will drop every 5 minutes. This problem did not exist under XP, nor does the net cut out on other XP based machines. Occasionally it will drop the connection, and not see any networks (there are several in my area). Other times it will show my network with the name "Unnamed Network" and not allow me to connect to it. I'm thinking there is an issue with Vista autodetecting the network? Went to look for the latest firmware, but seems linksys is almost a year behind since their last release (i updated anyways). Also why is there no tech support email clearly posted on their site to address them with this question? Thanks for any help you can offer.

Upon further review, every time my internet cuts out on my Vista laptop, it is also cutting out on my wife's XP laptop. The internet does NOT drop on my wired XP machine. They both drop at the same time, what does this indicate? Again this is new since adding a vista computer to the network, this router has been rock solid for well over a year otherwise.
I also went through tech support (before i realized all wireless was dropping at the same time) and they confirmed this router should work with Vista.
Is it just bad luck my router went bad at the same time i installed Vista? Or is Vista somehow affecting this? And to the above poster, thanks for the advice, but i swapped out my internal Intel 3945ABG adapter with my other laptop (same adapter of course) and it did not change anything. I'm led to believe this is Vista borking it, or my router just went/is going bad?
Anyone?

Firmware Upgrade for a WRT54G v8.1 Router

I just resolved a connectivity problem by downloading and installing the binary
file "FW_WRT54G_8.1.09.02_US_20071227.bin".
After this upgrade, I was somewhat confused by the new displayed Firmware Version under Router Status in administration. My new version is displayed as
"8.01.09 build 01 Dec. 27,2007". The date seems to agree with the downloaded binary file name. The Release Notes for this latest firmware defines this download as "Last Firmware Version: 8.1.09 build2". There is an associated Firmware Date of April 10th, 2008. Do I have the correct file downloaded and installed for the WRT54G v8.1 Router or is there something else that I need to do to complete the firmware upgrade?
There is one difference that I have noticed in my new configuration that is somewhat strange, as well. I no longer have the ability to use "MAC Address Clone" in Setup. It is grayed out. Please advise whether this is normal with this new Firmware.

Yes, I am quite certain that the firmware was upgraded from version 8.01.08 build 02 Oct. 26, 2007. The Router was reset after the upgrade and completely reconfigured. The "MAC Clone" option remains grayed out after several attempts, but all other features are functional. I have gained connectivity by this firmware upgrade to a Time Warner - Road Runner, Broadband System. I may still want the MAC Clone feature in the future.
Thank You!

E90 firmware upgrade problems

Recently, I upgraded my E90's firmware from the version 7.xx to 300.34.84. I backed up all the data on the phone prior to the firmware upgrade - as required for the retention of software certificates and data.
Some of the trouble I'm having now is with the Download! folder, specifically the Applications subfolder - it does not update it's content - actually, it's totally unaccessible. Also, the Windows Live Application no longer works - and I'm unable to download a fresh copy as a result of the problems with the Download! folder. Prior to the firmware upgrade, I had using the Windows Live Messenger application and the Windows Live email/messaging synchronising facility in the Messaging folder hitch-free for about three months.
Any ideas? Thanks
By the way, I don't think the upgrade in this case has much merit. Other than the A-GPS, there's no real substance in 300.34.84.
Symbian connected me to the world, to my dreams.. Thank-you Nokia

I just saw a post for the exact same problem on an E71. Search 'E71 Download! folder: Service Not Available' by hazz on this site. See my problem is I'm not too interested in the third-party software available from ea.mobile.nokia.com/ea/apps/. I'm interested in the ones that become available in the Download! folder, under Applications. When I click on Applications, the chevron appears, followed by the progress bar, which fills almost completely, then shows the this message: 'Catalog update failed!' I believe my internet connection is working fine - I watch youtube on the device often.
This week, a new link appeared - U2 - Get On Your Boots - which great, 'cause U2 rocks. But, Applications remains dead - even if I remove it from the list and click - Options/Select/Refresh List.
I got around the Windows Live problem by using the awesome Nokia Messaging (email) [http://email.nokia.com], and the instant messaging application mxit. Besides those minor issues, I think the E90 is a pretty awesome device.
Thanks

BEFW11S4 v.4 and Vista - firmware upgrade failures

Hello
I have had this router for about 5 years, running it with XP with no problems. Ever since I got a new laptop with Vista, the wireless connects for an hour or so and then drops out and I have to unplug the router for five seconds and re-plug in order to reconnect (my other laptop with XP doesn't have this problem).
I understand that there are compatibility issues between the BEFW11S4 v. 4 and Vista so I tried to upgrade the firmware from linksys.com and kept getting a failed message. I hard rebooted the router but holding in the restart button for 30 seconds, and the upgrade still failed. So I re-set the factory settings through the router's online admin function, re-downloaded the upgrade and still got the failed emssage (I am certain that the model & version number is correct and I'm downloading the correct firmware upgrade).
Is there anything else I can do other than a) buy a new router; b) live with teh drop-outs; c) remove Vista and go back to XP?
Thanks
Solved!

If you have any Firewall or Antivirus installed on your computer, you can disable it and after this try upgrading the firmware of your router. It if still dosent work then you can try it from some other computer and try it again.If it still the same problem then i think you can Press and hold the reset button for 1 minute...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 1 minute and re-connect the power cable...Now again you can try upgrading the firmware of your router.

WRT54G Ver 1.1 Firmware Upgrade

I was experiencing some connection problems that were causing me to cycle the power on my router a few times a week. I decided to upgrade the firmware to 4.21.1 hoping to resolve this issue. The firmware upgrade completed and all configuration settings were put back as I had before the upgrade.
Since the update, I cannot connect to the internet through my DSL when connecting through the router. I can connect to the internet when my computer is directly connected to the modem. I called Linksys and I was told to reset the router three times. Had no results.
Can anyone help me out with this? Or is there a place where I can download the old firmware that I originally had?
I have a WRT54G ver 1.1 and Bellsouth DSL
Thanks
(Edited post for guideline compliance. Thanks!)

--Update--
I solved the problem. The Bellsouth DSL modem is in bridge mode after it is either reset (hard button) or configured via the web utility.
WITHOUT connecting the router to the modem, configure the router to be PPPoE insted of DHCP. If the router is connected to the modem while still in DHCP mode, the modem will assume the router is a computer. This will kick the modem out of bridge mode.
So the steps to solve the problem are:
1) Disconnect ethernet between router and modem.
2) Reset modem / put in bridge mode.
3) Connect to router via web utility and configure PPPoE settings.
4) Connect router and DSL modem via ethernet cable.

I'm trying to upgrade the firmware for a WRT54G v1.0 (i think, it does not have a version # on the sticker). I have downloaded the firmware (had to go thru a google cache to get to the link cuz linksys support page is down.) I unziped the file. I did a hard reset (60.60.60). Then I logged into my router (admin pass so I know the reset worked) went to "System>Firmware Upgrade>Upgrade" the dialog opened. I then bowsed for the .bin file found it opened it and clicked "Upgrade".....nothing happend....waited....still nothing, no progress bar, nothing, nada, neah... whats up??
I can still access the router like normal and ect its just the upgrade dialog that seems broken.
So, Any ideas??
