WRT54G2 v.1 router - question about upgrading firmware

I posted this as a reply to another thread because I couldn't see how to start a new one - but finally figured it out so am posting it again. Sorry about that.
I am having to unplug my router (WRT54G2 v.1.0.04) about 1-2 times a week. When i plug it back in - it works again. (I have the modem/router connected to my desktop and a laptop networked.) Using Network Magic.
Someone said I should update the firmware, but not sure which version to update to - the choices are 1.0, 1.3, 1.5. I don't want to update to the wrong firmware - don't know if I should choose the latest or 1.3 first, then 1.5
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

For starters, check the bottom of the router to see what hardware version your router is. Then ONLY download the firmware for that particular hardware version of the router. If you have a version 1.0 router then select ONLY Version 1.0 from the Linksys/Cisco WRT54G2 download support page, do not select Version 1.3 or 1.5. Same goes for version 1.3, do not use the firmware for hardware versions 1.0 or 1.5. And for version 1.5, do not use the firmware for hardware versions 1.0 and 1.3.
If your using a WRT54G2 V1 router the latest firmware is Ver.1.0.04 (Build 5). If this firmware is already loaded to the router it will be listed in the upper right hand corner of the administration pages, and will show up as "Firmware Version: 1.00.4".
For hardware version 1.3 the latest firmware is Ver.1.3.00 Build 28.
For hardware version 1.5 the latest firmware is Ver.1.5.01 Build 13.
Unfortunately there are some bugs with the WRT54G2 routers with either the hardware or the firmware. I routinely have to power cycle/reboot mine from time to time when my wireless connection speed drops off (usually down to 1 Mps) and loading web pages crawls or pages times out. I tried loading the third party firmware by DD-WRT to the WRT54G2 but that too had issues, mainly the wireless speed would drop to 1 Mps and stay there until the router was rebooted/power cycled. Ended up dumping DD-WRT and putting the stock Linksys firmware back on this router and just power cycle the router every couple of days.
It sometimes helps to do a 30/30/30 reset on the router and reconfigure from scratch.
Hard Reset (aka 30/30/30 reset):
The following procedure will clear out the NVRAM and set dd-wrt back to default values:
With the unit powered on, press and hold the reset button on back of unit for 30 seconds
Without releasing the reset button, unplug the unit and hold reset for another 30 seconds
Plug the unit back in STILL holding the reset button a final 30 seconds (please note that this step can put Asus devices into recovery mode...see note below!)

Question about upgrade and original iPhone

There might be other thread already, but have a question about upgrade to 3G.
I have the original iPhone and have upgraded to iPhone 3G.
The question is whether I can use the original iPhone indefinitely.
People at Apple store was telling me I can use the original iPhone (without the phone functionality) as long as I don't restore the firmware.
Is this true? What happens if Apple releases firmware in the future? Would this mean that I can only use this as long as machine doesn't require restore? I wanted to give it to one of my family members so she can use it as iPod so any info would be helpful ....

My understanding is the same as the Apple Store Employee.
If you try to update the software on an iphone with no service, I believe that it will be rendered useless.
It may be possible to swap the SIM card for software upgrades, etc., not sure.

Question about upgrading iTunes multiple computers with shared library

Greetings,
I have a question about upgrading to the current version of iTunes.
Currently, my household uses 3 Mac computers (2 Powerbook 17in laptops and a Mack Mini). We are all (currently) on system 10.4.11 (with iTunes 9.2.1). Between the 3 computers we have a shared iTunes music and video library on a networked high capacity hard drive.
We recently purchased an iPad. In order to make it easy for updates and to use media from our iTunes shared library I decided that we should upgrade the systems on our home computers to Snow Leopard. I have ensured that all the computers have at lease 2 Gb of RAM and adequate hard drive space.
The only possible problem I see is that one of the Powerbook laptops uses the old Motorola processor. (This is one of the last Powerbooks to use that processor.) I don’t think this computer can be upgraded to Snow Leopard.
My question is, if I upgrade 2 of the computers (and iTunes in the process), will I still be able to access the shared iTunes library using the older computer with the older system and iTunes? Will the upgrade process change the iTunes library in such a way that the one older computer will no longer be able to properly access that library?
Are there any other problems I might encounter having a mixed system/iTunes environment?
Thank you,
Tim

Just a thought. Should I somehow open iTunes on MBP2 using MBP1's Library file??
both Macs can access the same library file, however, only one at a time !
to do that, you would ideally have the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) on the external. then, on one Mac after the other, launch iTunes while holding the option key, click on +choose library+ when prompted, and select the iTunes folder on the external.
or, you could have two separate libraries and keep those in sync using third party tools such as Syncopation, TuneRanger or SuperSync.
for purchases from the iTunes store, you could set up _*Home Sharing*_ - it can be configured to automatically transfer new purchases to home shared libraries.
Can I create a script to have MBP1 always save the iTunes Library file on the shared hard drive?
no need.

Several Questions about upgrading APEX

Hello,
I a several questions about upgrading APEX.
I want to upgrade my APEX 2.0 to 2.2 and hopefully in a few month to 3.0.
Is there a How To about upgrading APEX?
What would happen to my applications?
Would there be any problems about the applications when the APEX version is upgraded to another version?
Thank you,
Tim

Tim,
Yes there is (detailed) upgrade documentation provided with the upgrade itself, which you should definitely look through. The 2.2 and 2.2.1 releases are currently available here -
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/index.html
You applications will be 'upgraded' as part of the upgrade process (i.e. they will continue to work with the new software once the upgrade is complete).

Questions about Micro-Firmware (Not 2.x.x

Hi Guys,
i got some questions about the .0.03 firmware.
) What's the difference between the :
ZenMicro_PCFW_LB__0_03_PDE.exe ,57 MB 8 Feb 05.
and the
ZenMicro_PCFW_US__0_03_PDE.exe ,8 MB 08 Dec 04 ?
Does "US" means that this is the north american version ?
So what is LB ?
2) I've got the "ZenMicro_PCFW_US__0_03_PDE.exe ,8 MB 08 Dec 04". Is there any use of upgrading to the one from 8 Feb 05 ?
3) ZenMicro_PCFW_US__0_03_PDE.exe
Does the "E" at the end means "european", so the loudness is reduced ? Must be something different because it's also included in the firmware from the american site.Message Edited by Baron on 02-20-2005 09:0 AM

From what I've picked up elsewhere in the forum, the LB version of the .0.03 firmware just includes MORE LANGUAGES (for the user interface, i.e. menus) than the US version of that same firmware. see : http://forums.creative.com/creativel...essage.id=2374 ... which, really, you should have found using the search function, before posting. --Fred.

A question about upgrades and mroe upgrades

I've got a question about the upgrade sequence and costs thereof
I have CS5.5 Production Premium. Suppose I upgrade to CS6 production Premium. If, when CS6.5 comes out and I decided to upgrade, would it be considered an upgrade from 5.5 or 6 for pricing purposes?
I presume the older the software the more expensive the upgrade but if I'm upgrading from my CS6 upgrade would it be considered an upgrade from CS5.5 9the original suite) or an upgrade from CS6?
Thank you

You have a CS5.5 now. Now, you upgrade to CS6.
When CS6.5 come out. It will be considered as an upgrade from CS6 (and not CS5.5 which is your original suite). Hope this is clear

1.can we have new name for the target database,
2.I think we need to create tablespaces ,do we need to create users as well
3.If we are upgrading from 9i to 10g database ,any activity to be perfromed other than creating a new sysaux tablespace
4.How come we get consistent export
In DBUA mode ( in the same machine only)
1.Do we need shutdown / startup restrict the database
2.How can we move the files to the new location
3.Can we change db_name of the database
4.Can we use the old database as well
In manual upgration using catupgrd scripts
1.Can we rename the db_name
2.can we use old database as well
3.how to move the database files to the new location
4.can we perform this kind of upgrade on a different server
5.when we startup upgrade in the new home ,how it identifies the old database in-order to upgrade the old one

1.can we have new name for the target database,Yes.
2.I think we need to create tablespaces ,do we need to create users as wellYou can create users, but it is not necessary. You need to pre-create tablespaces only if their characteristics/locations on the target are different than on the source.
3.If we are upgrading from 9i to 10g database ,any activity to be perfromed other than thisNot that I am aware of - see the steps in the Upgrade Guide - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14238/expimp.htm
4.How come we get consistent export wetherEnsure the database is started in restricted mode, so users will not be able to access the database during the export.
>
In DBUA mode ( in the same machine only)
1.Do we need shutdown / startup restrict the databaseNo - DBUA will do this automatically for you.
2.How can we move the files to the new locationYou can after the upgrade move the datafiles to wherever you want - use the ALTER DATABASE RENAME DATAFILE (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_1004.htm#i2082829) command.
3.Can we change db_name of the databaseI do not believe this is possible with DBUA.
4.Can we use the old database as wellNo - the database will be upgraded by DBUA - there is no "old" database.

Is it necessary to be connected to wireless router/ap to upgrade firmware of WRE54G V1.0 ?

Is it necessary to be connected to wireless router/access point to upgrade firmware of WRE54G V1.0 in order to support universal repeater mode ???

Can someone walk me through the steps of assigning the static IP to the "wireless network connection" referred to in the last post? I would assume you would right click on My Network Places, then right click on the "wireless network connection", but give me the steps after that. I don't want to screw anything up. Also, is it necessary to turn the router off, or can I just temporarily disable the connection on my laptop?

Questions about upgrading from Exchange 2010 RTM to Exchange 2010 Service Pack 3

I am preparing to perform an maintenance upgrade on our current Exchange 2010 Server, to Service Pack 3 (and any post-SP3 roll ups), but I have a couple questions about the process.
Current Exchange Server details:
Exchange 2010 Standard
Version: 14.0 (Build 639.21) - from Exchange Management Console
Version: 14.0.702.4000 - from Outook client
Active Directory forest and domain levels: Windows 2008 R2 native
The questions I have are:
1. Can I assume that because it's version 10.0.702.4000 I am on Exchange Server 2010 RTM Update Rollup 4?
2. Can Exchange 2010 Standard RTM be patched directly to Service Pack 3, or would I need to perform incremental patches (i.e. SP1, SP2, etc.) before going to SP3?
3. Do I need to manually perform the AD domain schema prep before applying Service Pack 3, or will the Service Pack 3 update process automatically handle the modifications of the AD schema?

Hi,
Here are my answers you can refer to:
1. Firstly, I’d like to explain , we can use connection status to check our Exchange server version from Outlook client:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/outlook-help/determine-the-version-of-microsoft-exchange-server-my-account-connects-to-HA010117038.aspx
And I check my version from both EMC and Outlook client. It’s same.
2. We can directly update RTM version to SP3 , and the update will take an additional 30 minutes or longer per database.
3. Since Exchange 2010 SP3 makes updates to the Active Directory schema, we need prepare AD domain schema. However, it will automatically prepare AD and the domain when you install the update.
For more information, you can refer to the following article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj965774(v=exchg.141).aspx
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

Another question about upgrading RAM on G4 iMac

I know that there are numerous threads on this forum about upgrading RAM and I am sorry to have to open another one but, having read many of them, I am still confused!
I have unopened copies of Leopard and ILife 08 that I am planning to install on my 17-inch 1GHz G4 iMac with 768 MB of RAM (256 MB in the factory slot and 512 MB in the user accessible slot). I know that this model does not support all the functions of these programs but I am currently running Panther and the very first iLife so I think it's time for an upgrade!
Apple states that this model supports up to 1GB RAM so I have been thinking that in order to get the best out of the new software I should upgrade to 1GB RAM. My questions are:
1. Do I need to upgrade or is the existing RAM of 768 MB likely to be sufficient?
2. If I upgrade, how easy is it to add RAM to the factory slot? I have searched but can find no instructions on this here or on the Apple website which implies that this is not recommended.
3. Several threads on this forum seem to suggest that, in order to avoid having to mess with the factory slot, it is possible to put 1GB RAM in the user accessible slot and leave the factory slot well alone, resulting in total RAM greater than the maximum recommended by Apple. Is this correct or have I misunderstood?
Thanks in advance.

1. Do I need to upgrade or is the existing RAM of 768 MB likely to be sufficient?
That will probably be sufficient. You could always install and run both Leopard and iLife '08 and see if you feel that they are working OK before buying any RAM.
2. If I upgrade, how easy is it to add RAM to the factory slot? I have searched but can find no instructions on this here or on the Apple website which implies that this is not recommended.
Apple does not post the directions because this is not considered something that a user can do by themselves.
You can see the process at www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/iMacg4/imacg4takeapart.html
3. Several threads on this forum seem to suggest that, in order to avoid having to mess with the factory slot, it is possible to put 1GB RAM in the user accessible slot and leave the factory slot well alone, resulting in total RAM greater than the maximum recommended by Apple. Is this correct or have I misunderstood?
That is correct. You could replace the 512 MB in the user accessible slot with 1 GB to provide a total RAM of 1.256 GB.

Why can't someone from apple answer my question about upgrading to the current version of Itunes

I am amazed that I have been posting questions for months about this issue and no one has given me an answer!!!! Does Apple not track these discussions?
I have Windows 7 64-bit and am trying to upgrade Itunes to the current version, with no suggestions.
I have found and tried the 64-bit installer and receive the following message:
'This itunes installed is intended for 32-bit versions of Windows. Please download and install 64-bit Itunes installer instead.'
I have itunes 9.1.1.12 currently installed.

Okay ... it's behaving just like the PC Mover thing. 32-bit versions of iTunes and AMDS have somehow been jammed on the PC. When you go to uninstall either of them, the 64-bit Windows installer service encounters 32-bit installation configuration information, goes into a fantod, and you get the error message.
So we'd better try clearing away that installation configuration information, and then trying another update.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Mobile Device Support entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Next, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Question about upgrading to Motion 3

I recently purchased the Final Cut Studio 2 upgrade. I've been reading the forum and I've seen people having problems with Motion 3, specifically on Macbook Pros but on other machines as well. I was planning on buying the upgrade anyway but I specifically bought it this week because of an audio bug (missing audio on QT export-see one of my other posts) that was fixed in Motion 3 that affects the project I am currently working on. I have 2 computers that this would be installed on. A Mackbook Pro 2GHz core duo and a Mac Pro dual 3.0 GHz Xeon. Both of these are up to date on software updates. I've read that there was a MBP update that really caused a problem for Motion 3 that seems to only be fixed by a clean system install. My question is what is the best way I should go about installing the upgrade, specifically for Motion? Should I wait to install it on my MBP until Apple releases a fix for the problem? Will it install fine on my Mac Pro? Basically, I'm looking for the best way to install that will lead to the least amount of problems? Thanks

Mac Pro dual 3.0 GHz Intel Xeon Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Mac Pro dual 3.0 GHz Intel Xeon Mac OS X (10.4.9)
Mac Pro dual 3.0 GHz Intel Xeon Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I beg to differ on that...I have a Mac Pro Quad 3GHz with 8Gigs of RAM and the X1900 card and Motion crashes very often. I have not been able to export anything with 3D elements to completion. The software crashes whenever you have more than a few lights and layers going on...it's very frustrating. I have done everything possible to avoid these bugs, including re-installing OSX before upgrading to FCPS2, and I even did that twice.
Motion still has quite a few bugs...and they are more than just an annoyance.

[SOLVED] Two Questions about b43-firmware AUR Package

Hi. On my old laptop, my wifi adapter worked out-of-the-box / no extra driver installation required. On my new laptop I have the Broadcom BCM43228 wi-fi adapter. Up to this point I have just been using the proprietary broadcom-wl driver, which has worked fine but it has been annoying having to rebuild (that is: install latest linux-headers, run makepkg) and reinstall broadcom-wl every time the linux kernel is upgraded. I discovered that the open-source b43 firmware recently added support for the chip. So I have two questions...
1. With b43, would I still need to rebuild/reinstall the package every time the kernel is upgraded?
2. Is there any way to know if the linux kernel will integrate b43 some day? Is this something that happens? I'm assuming it must be because I didn't have to install anything extra to use the wi-fi adapter on my old laptop. Maybe there's some schedule online of when the linux kernel developers intend to integrate open-source drivers/firmware directly into the kernel?
Thanks!

It's not firmware that added support, it's the driver.
driver = code that runs in the kernel
firmware = code that runs on the device itself
tony5429 wrote:1. With b43, would I still need to rebuild/reinstall the package every time the kernel is upgraded?
Nope, the firmware isn't tied to a particular kernel.
tony5429 wrote:2. Is there any way to know if the linux kernel will integrate b43 some day?
The kernel does have b43 integrated. What the package installs isn't the driver, it's the firmware that gets uploaded onto the wifi card.
A lot of firmware is distributed in the linux-firmware package. However this requires that the firmware is released under a license that allows redistribution. But the b43 firmware isn't redistributable, that's why you need to get it from AUR.
