WRT54G version 2 firmware issued

Good Evening all;
I mistakenly downloaded and installed version 4 firmware when i should have installed version 2.  My system (windows ver. 7) no longer sees the wireless router (WRT54G).  I no longer have the install CD and the version 2 firware does not seem to be available on the website.  Is my router now dead in the water? 

it depends. is the power light on your router blinking? can you still access the router's "setup" page? did you reset your router after doing the firmware upgrade?

  • WRT54G Version 2 Firmware Reset?

    Hello,
    I have a Linksys WRT54G Version 2 that I installed the V.6. firmware on, and now I cannot connect through the router, or even reach the admin panel. Is there a way to reset Version 2 like Version 5?
    Thanks!Message Edited by Kadratis on 11-25-200612:49 PM

    you can try to reset this router for 1 min. and Then try to upgrade the router firmware with v2 firmware. Go to site: ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pub/network and search for tftp.exe and download tftp.exe and use this tool to upgrade the firmware file to this router. May this help you!
    Make sure you upload only v2 files.

  • WRT54GS Version 5 Firmware Upgrade

    I am confused as to how to update the firmware on my WRT54GS Version 5 Linksys router.
    I went to the support section on here, but there are five different options of router firmware upgrade. I bought this a year ago and figure it needs the update, can someone help me?
    The choices I found on here are:
        Upgrading the Linksys VPN Router's Firmware
         Upgrading the Linksys Wireless-G Access Point's Firmware
         Upgrading the Linksys Wireless-G VPN Router Firmware
         Upgrading the Linksys Router
         Upgrading the Linksys VOIP Router's Firmware
    Which one would I want for this basic network router? The reason I ask is because my wireless Internet is constantly down. It won't work unless I do a hard reset of the router each time. It is annoying that I have to do this all of the time. I have never had this problem in the year I had it until six weeks ago. I have to reset it numerous times to get it to read the Internet and then go into the settings and rename it each time. Also, the router and my PC and my landlords laptop always connect through to the router fine, it is just the Internet causing problems.

    Hi… you can use choice no. 4 which you’ve mentioned, enter the model number >> WRT54GS >> select version 5 and save .bin firmware file on computer and upgrade it according steps…

  • WRT54G Version 7 Firmware

    Hi, I'm trying to upgrade my router's firmware but it doesn't seem to work. I have downloaded the latest firmware and upgraded it. The setup says that it was successful but nothing happens. The firmware version is still the same. I tried hard resetting and turning it off already but to no avail. I also tried restoring the factory defaults after the upgrade but the firmware is still left intact. Can you guys tell me what to do? I have ran out of ideas.

    When did you upgraded the router last time...?
    What is the Firmware Version says under the status tab on the router...?
    The Current firmware for WRT54G v7 is Ver.7.00.8..If your router already had the firmware Ver.7.00.8 and you re-flash the firmware with same version  then,it will show you the same firmware.

  • Firmware Issues / BUG Report for WRT54GS v1.1

    Hi all,
    Router = WRT54GS (version 1.1 as printed on the bottom of the router)
    My current firmware (most up to date) = v 4.71.4
    I have found a few issues when using the following:
    QoS related issues:
    When using QoS, if users wish to disble it tempermentally (or change any other option), then re-enable it, any wireless device cannot access the LAN or WAN. This is regardless of static or DHCP IP. In order to fix this the user must reset the wireless security after re-enabling the QoS (disable the wireless security, save settings, set the security options again, and save settings)
    If a user changes the routers IP to something other than the default when using QoS wireless devices are unable to connect using either static or dynamic IP.
    Other issues I have encountered: 
    When setting wireless security up I chose WPA2-Personal (TKIP+AES). I also use MAC filter as well and only allow those that I specify to connect to the router. This works no problem. My problem is that if I disable SSID broadcasting my wireless devices will not connect regardless of static or dynamic IP. I have made sure there is sufficient strengh of the network (by sitting only a few feet from the router with my laptop to test this).
    How do I report these issues? Will they be addressed in the next future release of firmware?
    Thanks,
    Pete

    Hi, just to let you know. Reset, then re-configured and it is still having the issues as I have posted above. So deffiantly a router firmware issue I would say.
    New Firmware version upgraded to: v4.70.8

  • NAT issue - WRT54G Version 1.1 with Vista Home Premium

    Router = WRT54G Version 1.1
    I am trying to figure out the cause of my problems, this router or Vista?
    I have 2 PC’s (just want to use my Vista 1) connected to the same router that is connected to a cable modem – the Windows XP machine has no problems bar its age and spec. I have a brand new PC with Vista Home Premium installed on it, now it is this new PC that I am having NAT problems with and port blocking.
    I have installed Windows Live Messenger and when setting it up I went into Tools/Options/Connections and I get an error message:- "You are connected to the internet through a UPnP port restricted NAT. The Windows Firewall is enabled. (User)"
    I have no option to run the trouble shooter (greyed out)…….
    If I turn off Windows Vista Firewall I get:- "You are connected to the internet through a UPnP port restricted NAT. (User)”
    Since this I have installed Media server software and have to reset the port it uses every time as it is always stating that it is blocked.
    I have downloaded OpenOffice via a torrent client which also stated that I had NAT problems.
    I have no NAT issues at all on my older XP PC and as a result I believe it is safe to rule out my router and modem……..I have only disabled Windows Firewall and this had made no difference, but I have not tried uninstalling it (no idea if that would make a difference)
    Oh, I do not have UPnP enabled (router setting) – does this matter (I have tried turning it on but made no difference to this issue so I turned it off again)?

  • WRT54G version 3.0 Streaming Video Issue

    I have a WRT54G v3.0 wireless router that constantly drops connection when I try to stream video from the internet. If I eliminate the router and connect my laptop or desktop directly to my cable modem streaming video works perfect. Once I put the wireless router back into play and try to stream video I lose connection to the router. Normal internet use (e-mail, sports sites, etc.) work fine but as soon as I go to a site like youtube or espn and try to stream video the wireless connection drops. I have read numerous message boards that talk about firmware upgrades that will fix the problem but all of the message boards talk about WRT54G versions other than mine. Can anyone out there tell me why my WRT54G v3.0 router constantly drops connection when streaming video as well as tell me how to fix it?
    By the way I currently have firmware version 3.03.6 (Jan 6, 2005) installed

    I think the latest for v3 is firmware 4.21.1. Check out your model and version on http://www.linksys.com/download
    The box said windows xp or better... So I installed Linux!

  • Right firmware for WRT54G version 2

    Hi,
    I need to reflash a WRT54G version 2, but on the support page I can not find any firmware. Only for version 2.2. is it the compatible also with version 2?

    Leonardo you can visit http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-apac/support/routers/WRT54G then go to Downloads you will be able to see the Version 2 from the drop down.
    Thanks!

  • WRT54G Version 3.1 Connection Issues - Help Please

    Good Morning,
    We have a WRT54G Version 3.1. Our existing network is wired and functions fine, I am adding the WRT54G for a few wireless clients.
    During testing I have connected the wireless to my computer via CAT5 cable to port 1. I have connected another CAT5 cable to the internet port of the router from a known good wall jack.
    When I first open the default address 192.168.1.1 and enter the password, all seems well. Due to having servers that hand out IP addresses, I disable the routers DHCP capability.
    I enter the following information for example:
    Local IP: 81.0.0.90
    Gateway: 81.0.0.1
    Subnet: 255.255.255.0
    DHCP disabled
    etc.
    After changing the the local IP and receiving a confirmation that my changes were saved and I will be going back to the previous page, the page won't display with the address changed to 81.0.0.90 and it is blank.
    I release my IP address through cmd, clear my dns cache and reboot the computer. After restart, I am presented with the stock MS address of 169.254.X.X.
    I cannot connect to the local IP I established at 81.0.0.90 and nothing appears to work. The only thing I can do is reset the router and start from scratch...again.
    Any ideas on what keeps happening and how it can be resolved once and for all?
    Thanks in advance

    even if you have two DHCP enabled on both routers in your network, you will not get an IP adress conflict (exception of course if you're cascading two wireless routers).
    a LAN port (ethernet router) to WAN port (wireless router) connection can be established allowing you to have both DHCP server enabled on your routers.
    by doing the LAN to WAN connection, you will have two networks in a network.. both network won't meet cuz they will have different IP adress... router 1: could be 81.0.0.90, then router 2 could be 81.0.0.91.
    if you want your two routers to meet and be in the network together, you just need to follow QUAK's suggestion to assign a static IP adress on your PC. or better yet, you can just connect the router you're disabling the DHCP server with to it's LAN port from a LAN port as well of your DHCP server (router 1). this is a LAN to LAN connection... by doing that, you will be able to open up the interface of your router 2(DHCP disabled) since your PC connected to it will get an IP adress...

  • WRT54GS Ver 6 - Connectivity Issues.

    I purchased this WRT54GS about a month ago, and got it working. Everything worked fine, then this morning I started having issues. My Internet keeps 'locking up' to a certain point. When it happens:
    -I lose the ability to go to any web page
    -My online game I play connects fine, and works normally - but then it crashes when I try to go to a new Zone
    -Internet applications (Anti Virus, Spybot) can't connect to update - they don't 'see' the internet
    Yet - my VOIP continues to work normally. However, to use any other Internet functionality, I have to use Ipconfig /release and /renew.
    I have bypassed the Linksys router, and connected directly to the Cable Modem - and the problem vanishes. I tried updating the Firmware, no change.
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do to fix this?
    *Edit = I've checked out all the configuration options I can, and checked out every FAQ I could find. I hope someone reads this soon who can offer some advice.
    Message Edited by ItsJustJake on 03-19-200712:07 PM

    "Frunple" is right.Your problem is not unique and has been experienced by many customers who bought version 5 and 6 of this router. I was one of them who had 3 or more random disconnects a day for over 2 months. Linksys tech support tried very hard to correct this with many different reconfigurations but nothing helped. Exchanging the orignal router to two more version 6 routers also did not cure the problem. Only when I changed the router to a WRT54GL did the problem stop instantly.
    The reason is that the WRT54GL is really a resurrected WRT54G version 4 which was based on a different design. Starting with version 5 and 6 Linksys changed the RAM from 16 MB to 8 MB and the Flash Memory from 4 MB to 2 MB. They also changed the operating system to "VxWorks". Something is very wrong in this design.
    If you want to cure the problem then try to replace your router with a version 4 or earlier or get a WRT54GL which is really a "WRT54G version 4" with a new name.
    Since I did change I have now not had any disconnects for one month.

  • WRT54G Versions 5/6 with VoIP

    Been using a Linksys WRT54G version 5 for sometime but just started using it to transport VoIP (ATA is Linksys PAP2). Unfortunately, every 3-4 minutes especially if on the phone, I will lose wireless and wired internet connectivity (and obviously my phone call). During this time the router's power light blinks for 5-10 seconds, then it recovers and everything works fine. I followed all the tech support suggestions and was already running the latest firmware (v1.09) for this device and still it always does this reset thing. I've reflashed, reset, etc.. several times with the same result. Finally Linksys said I could send it in under warranty coverage.
    So I could get back up and running quickly I went to the store and bought a new WRT54G, which is a version 6 of the router. I was shocked to find out it was not an issue with the hardware, as this router (also loaded with v1.09 firmware) has the same problem. I happened to have an old Microsoft MN-500 wireless router in the closet and plugged that in, and it's been up and solid since. I guess unless anyone has any suggestions, I just wanted to let Linksys and everyone else know (as their tech support people don't seem to be able to pass message up the chain) that there is a problem with V1.09 and VoIP. The router seems to be overwhelmed by the VoIP traffic or something and just continously cycles.

    I've only had this router for 7 days.  I can just take it back to Office Depot and try another router or even another manufacturer.
    I'm also having DHCP problems with this thing out the wazoo, so I'm about at the point of saying to hell with it with this router.

  • WRT54G ver 7 speed issues.

    Hi all.
    Let me go through the issue I have come across tonight. I have a WRT54G version 7 cable router, and I have Telewest as my ISP, with the 4Mb service. My computer is hard wired into the router, and have no wireless clients connected at the time. I get packet loss, (quite a bit) and my download speeds are abismal. Setting my computer to dhcp or fixed IP makes no difference. I even forced 100 Full duplex on the LAN card just to be sure. I phoned up TW tech support, and they were pretty helpful, and asked me to bypass the router, and plug directly into the modem and turn dhcp on my pc and reboot the modem.
    All works fine, no speed issues, download test from here is perfect. They asked me to download something off their server here http://gamefiles.blueyonder.co.uk and I am getting full 480kB/s And here is the test plugged right into the modem http://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest/results/id/117018476054017621619.html
    Happy days, right? Problem with the router, right?
    Well.. It gets interesting.
    I then do a firmware update on the router, reset it to factory defaults, and re-run the test going through the router. Here is the pitiful result., which is the same as before. http://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest/results/id/117018491367303621734.html
    Ok... so problem with the router still... right?
    I tried the blueyonder file download, and guess what... 480KB/s again, downloaded a 5 meg file in about 12 seconds.
    What I have tried:
    Forcing the LAN to 100Meg full duplex
    Firmware upgrade on the router
    Reset router to factory defaults
    Rebooted pc, router and modem at the same time.
    Use a static IP with correct settings (same speed)
    Use DHCP through the router
    Connected directly to the cable modem and use DHCP (works fine)
    PC windows xp SP2 fully patched.
    No software firewalls. (at any time)
    Disabling UPNP on the router
    Turned flow control off on the LAN adapter (shouldnt be on in the first place, thats half duplex >.)
    I cant see why my computer downloads from blueyonder fine with no speed issues at all, and yet any other website, I get extremely poor performance. This router has been working fine for about a month now, just needed a few reboots once in a while, but which router doesnt. My upload speeds seem pretty constant, and dont seem to vary regardless of router or not. Seems like inbound traffic is getting jammed.
    Anyone able to shed some thought? Sorry for the wall of text, just thought I would let you know everything on the first post instead of having to reply a dozen times.

    try TCP Optimiser .. This should adjust the MTU settings of the NIC on the PC ...

  • Beige G3 boot from **** problem; open firmware issues; bad motherboard?

    Dear all,
    I'm having huge boot/startup problems with my beige G3 that had been happily running OSX 10.3.9, but for purposes of this discussion we can (mostly) revert to OS 9. Originally, the machine was a G3 @300; was upgraded more than a year ago to a ZIF G4 @500.
    To make a long story short, it won't boot from any hard drives, will not boot from any OS X CD, and will only occasionally boot from a 9.x startup CD (whether Apple or Norton Utilities). I think it's an open firmware issue, possibly caused by a bad motherboard (rev. 2).
    All this started happening after I used techtool pro, but I think that's coincidence (even though I acknowledge that, for cops and computer users, there are no coincidences.) Also, as discussed below, I'm having the same problems with an HD that wasn't even in the computer when all these things began.
    Here are some of the things I've done.
    --repeatedly reset PRAM, both with key combinations and removing battery. The only time it will boot from a 9.x CD is after resetting PRAM.
    --removed all add-on PCI cards.
    --removed additional VRAM
    --removed all memory cards and tried replacing one at a time.
    --disconnected both existing hard drives and replaced with an older OS 9.x hard drive (approx 60 mb) that I'd used before. Also tried different ribbon cables.
    --unplugged floppy drive
    --disconnected PCI ATA disk controller that I'd been using for running a large (1.8 gb) hard drive.
    --regarding open firmware: readenv usually shows totally normal default AND installed settings. Using reset-all works fine -- at least it makes the machine reboot, but doesn't solve the problem. reset-nvram does NOT work -- says it's an "unknown word."
    --using startup keys like holding down the option key, or shift key, or X key or cmd-option plus two others I can't remember, has no effect. Again, after I've tried any kind of reboot, the ONLY way to get the C-key at startup to boot the CD is by resetting the pram (key combination). Otherwise, the usual result of these experiments is a dark screen on startup -- nothing at all (and the LCD monitor tells me "no input.")
    --regarding OSX: sometimes (and I emphasize sometimes) I can get the machine to start booting from an OSX 10.2 CD, but it won't complete the process. Sometimes I get a "prohibited" (as in no-parking, no-smoking) icon; sometimes it will start booting (grey screen, OS X Apple icon), then crash (horizontal grey and white jagged bars); sometimes it will show the OS 9 start icon (the tiny smiling Mac SE), but not boot at all.
    --when I get the mac successfully booted with an OS 9.x CD (again, this works sometimes, but not always), the old hard drive with two partitions does show on the desktop and can be accessed. Using either disk repair or Norton Utilities shows the 9.2 system partition on the hard drive to be fine. But if I go to the startup disk control panel, confidently set the 9.2 partition as my startup disk, then reboot, there's no change. It won't boot and I'm back at square one.
    --even when I do get successfully booted with 9.x, the machine will still occasionally crash for no reason -- ie when I'm moving a Window.
    --the only thing I haven't done is slowed down the processor. It's a ZIF G4 bought more than a year ago from XLR8 your Mac. I'm running at the default 500 mhz, and it's never given me any trouble.
    So I think it's a bad motherboard or ROM. Thoughts?
    Thanks.

    The beige Mac is now operating happily again. My original tentative diagnosis remains the same (although still tentative): corrupted PRAM from bad battery, compounded by bad cables that wrote corrupted data to hard drives, and also (possibly) allowing Tech Tool Pro (a utility that I now regard with deep suspicion) to create a "virtual" startup partition.
    A few things I've learned along the way that hopefully may be useful:
    --remember that the Ex Post Facto utility can be used to help OS X startup, not just installation. This applies to hard drives, emergency CDs, installation CDs, etc. If you can boot into any working hard drive partition (OS 9 or a backup OS 10), then run Ex Post Facto (same program runs on either OS 9 or X -- don't ask me how) and tell it what system you want to start up from. Also, the utility has sometimes told me that the startup extensions on the disc that I wanted to boot up from were bad, and offered to fix them (which works).
    --at least on my Mac (beige, v. 2 motherboard), resetting the CUDA button, resetting the PRAM, resetting Open Firmware and "draining" the memory by unplugging the computer and disconnecting the battery for several hours ALL DO DIFFERENT THINGS.
    Specifically, if I'm having trouble booting (from a hard drive or a CD), the FIRST thing I do is restart and resetting the PRAM on the fly -- holding down command, option, P and R at startup, and waiting for the chimes (preferably at least 3-4 times).
    If I do that and DON'T hear the chimes, that's my cue for my SECOND action -- restarting into open firmware (command, option O and F keys on startup). That should bring up the black text on white background open firmware screen. View other posts or apple support for details, but if you do PRINTENV and see a bunch of weird gibberish after the default/installed lists, you know that it was messed up and you need to clear it through reset nvram and reset all commands. Be aware some of these commands do or do not work depending upon what version of Open Firmware you have.
    After I've rebooted with Open Firmware, then on restart I should be able to reset the PRAM on the fly. If that works, then either let the machine run and see what happens, or hold down the C command and see if it will boot from the CD
    Usually, if I've fixed everything as above, the machine will boot into whatever version of OS 9 it finds on a hard drive. That's fine with me -- at that point, use Ex Post Facto to reboot into your OS X. (Before I forget: I used the shareware startup CD creator program BootCD to make an emergency boot CD based on OS 10.2.8 (which theoretically will support a beige mac in native fashion) and Disk Warrior, the god of disk repair utilities. Even though the CD should boot just by holding down the C key on startup, it doesn't -- but if I use Ex Post Facto to boot it, no problems (although the process is very slow -- be patient). Then I can fix almost anything using Disk Warrior.)
    If none of the above works, then I'll try resetting the CUDA (on my beige minitower, it's a very small black button inconveniently located between a PCI slot and the side of the computer housing). Hold it down for 15 seconds. That should REALLY clear the PRAM. I know this does something different from the previous steps because this is the only action (except the battery disconnect -- next) that clears the date and time from the memory.
    If all else fails, I will unplug the computer and disconnect the battery, then push the CUDA button for 15 seconds and let the machine sit overnight.
    One final finding -- I thought I'd fixed everything, but both my hard drives suddenly quit working, I discovered that during all this repeated connect/disconnect of things, one of the male pins inside one of the connectors on my Acard ATA PCI card had broken off. Not good. Fortunately, the card had a second connector, which works fine. And I did some extensive shaking of the computer to make sure (I hope) that the broken pin hadn't landed on a circuit board.
    All this took more than two weeks, and the advice of this board was much appreciated. Now I'm on to my next adventure -- trying to figure out why a combo Firewire/USB PCI card won't mount an external drive on Firewire, but will on USB. I've tried two cards with same result -- but a Firewire-only card works just fine.)
    Regards to all,
    Graham

  • Happy on Leopard, hangs on sleep with Tiger: Firmware issue?

    I have an early 2005 G5 dual 2.0 that I bought new. It has 2.5GB of RAM and two drives: a 1TB and a just-recently-reinstalled original 160 GB drive.
    I've updated it through the years and recently it's been running Leopard 10.5.8 on the 1TB drive.
    I've just replaced it with a Mac Pro as my main machine, and wanted to set up the G5 to run Classic apps, so installed the original 160GB drive, wiped it clean with Drive Genius, and did an erase and install from my original 10.4 CD, followed by a bunch of Software Update runs to get it to 10.4.11.
    Trouble is, when booted in 10.4.11, every time it sleeps, the fans go into high gear and the system hangs, so I have to press the power button to shut it down.
    I cleaned off the disk and reinstalled.
    I zapped the PRAM/NVRAM.
    I booted in Open Firmware and did a reset.
    I disconnected the 10.5 disk.
    I ran Apple Hardware Test.
    I disconnected all cables and pressed the PMU/SMU reset button.
    Had a very nervous day when reconnecting the power cord gave me a solid power LED and a non-operational power button, until I got brave and reset the PMU again with the power cord plugged in (against Apple advice, but some folks said it worked). That got me booted again.
    Ran through several cycles of circle-with-bar gray screen boots, hang with loud fan boots, safe boots, etc.
    None of these steps indicated anything unusual or stopped the loud fan/dark screen/hang under 10.4.11.
    I'm now at the point where the machine boots fine, sleeps fine, and is generally happy as a clam when booted on my tried-and-true 10.5.8 disk, but does the loud fan/dark screen/hang when booted under 10.4.11, most consistently around sleep time, but sometimes just trying to boot.
    Other possible useful debugging info:
    Right now, the only things plugged in are Ethernet, Apple Keyboard, Apple Mighty Mouse, and VGA monitor with DVI adapter.
    Internal speaker no longer works, but headphone jack does.
    I did try during this process to get my old Thrustmaster ADB joystick running via a Griffin iMate, but those experiments are on hold until I get the base system stable.
    Most posts about similar behaviors (for example, http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2444469&start=0&tstart=0) point to a hardware issue, but that doesn't make sense to me because there aren't any issues under 10.5.8.
    My current thinking is that it may possibly be a firmware issue, that I have a version installed that requires 10.5.x and is not compatible with 10.4.x. System Profiler lists
    Boot ROM Version: 5.2.4f1
    However, I can't find much info about this version.
    Even if I found a 10.4-friendly Firmware Update, I'm not sure the machine would let me install an older version.
    So, does my thinking seem sound, or are there other avenues I should pursue?

    No PCI cards other than stock video card.
    No 3rd party kexts running. Just a fresh install of 10.4, then everything Software Update fed me to get to 10.4.11.
    Safe boot does not change the behavior.
    I ran several more experiments and have some more results to share.
    Booting from the Tiger disk reliably caused the machine to become unresponsive when going into sleep mode, after which the fans would go to full speed after a couple of minutes. Occasionally, upon power down and power up, I'd get the gray screen with the circle/slash graphic. Powering down and powering up would then result in a successful reboot.
    Booting from the Leopard disk would not cause the machine to hang when going in to sleep. However, I did notice that the machine wasn't really sleeping, either. The screen would blank, but I never heard hard disks park (the option to "put hard disks to sleep when possible" is checked in the Energy Saver System Preference), and the case fans continued spinning at low (normal) speed. Wake up took no time at all and made no sound except from the monitor. It may not be sleeping, but at least it's not crashing, either.
    Perhaps there really is a hardware issue, and Leopard is handling it more gracefully than Tiger. Unfortunately, Apple Hardware Test isn't finding it, and I see nothing indicated in the logs.
    It's less than ideal, but unless I find a solution, I may just put the machine in never sleep mode to keep it from crashing.
