BEFW11S4 update to?

Hi all

I have a BEFW11S4 at home and I want to move to something that can manage the 802.11 g and has more than WEP encryption. Linksys seems to have 1 million of routers that do this. Looks like there's the WRT54G, WRT54GS, WRT54GL and WRT54G2. Anyone know where I could find an online comparison of these? I want pretty much the same features. Some routers have a DMZ port, which might be nice. Some have a dynamic DNS server, which I guess just passes the internal clients DNS queries to the DNS server of your ISP.

So if anyone can help me, that would be helpful.

All of the routers you mentioned support the DMZ port option.  The router does not have "access" to this effect; However, when the DMZ option is turned on (this is done in the firmware), became one of the 4 ports of the router LAN the DMZ port.

All of the routers you mentioned supports a DNS proxy server (192.168.1.1).  The DNS proxy server works as you described.  Generally, computers can easily use this proxy DNS server.  Some specialized hardware, such as video cameras, have had problems with the DNS proxy server, and in this case, the user must enter their real DNS server address in the camcorder.

For more information on routers that you talked about, go to Wikipedia.org, then look for the WRT54G.  You will find information on all of these routers.  Usually, I recommend the WRT54GL because it has more RAM and Flash memory than most routers, and is also the best firmware supported third-party (such as dd - wrt), in case you need never this option.

  • BEFW11S4 v.4 and Vista - firmware upgrade failure

    Hello

    I've had this router for about 5 years, it runs with XP without any problem. Since I got a new laptop with Vista, the wireless connects for an hour or two, and then falls back and I have to unplug the router for five seconds, then reconnect to reconnect (my other laptop with XP has not this problem).

    I understand that there is compatibility between the BEFW11S4 v. 4 and Vista problems so I tried to update the firmware of dartybox.com and kept getting a message that failed. I hard rebooted the router but button of restart 30 seconds and the upgrade has always failed. I so re-set to factory settings through the online admin to the router, re-uploaded the implementation level and still got the emssage failed (I am sure that the model number & version is correct and I download the appropriate firmware upgrade).

    Is there anything else I can do another one) buy a new router; (b) living with school drop-outs; (c) remove Vista and go back to XP?

    Thank you

    Bigdank

    Genius! I have changed the name of code.bin, went to the admin > tab upgrade firmware and the upgrade file. I had a wireless without interruption ever since, even after the awakening of the laptop to sleep.

    Thanks for your help

  • WRT160NL cannot connect to the web interface after firmware update

    I've updated the firmware to unofficial http://mirwifi.org/download/fw/WRT160NL/wrt160nl-0.1.3-pre5.bin and since then I can not connect to the router through the web interface. What can I do? Is it possible to update the firmware to the official without web interface? Thanks in advance for any help.

    The router's default IP address is 192.168.1.1. Try to ping the IP address of the router and check if you get answers from the router.

    Open the Internet browser and in the address bar type http://192.168.1.1. See if you can open the router configuration page.

    If this does not work then you can try to update the official firmware on the router using the TFTP.exe file.

    Disable the firewall on your computer. Connect the computer to the router with the Ethernet cable.

    (1) download the official firmware file from the site Web of Linksys router. Save it to your computer.

    (2) download the tftp site Web of Linksys. Follow this link to search for the file tftp. You'll find downloads for router BEFW11S4. Select the version 3.2 hardware and download the installation wizard. Save it to your computer.

    (3) run the installation wizard. In the server box, type the IP address of your router. In the password box, type the password of the router. Default password for the router is admin. Find the file of the official firmware you have already downloaded and click on upgrade.

    See if it works.

    After upgrading the Firmware on the router, it is recommended that you must reset the router and reconfigure.

    Press and hold the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. Release the reset button and wait 10 seconds. Power cycle the router and reconfigure.

  • BEFW11S4 v4: cannot download from LinkSys Web site tftp.exe

    Hi all!

    I am a new user on this forum.  I've seen a lot of useful information here, so I KNOW that someone has the answer to my problem.

    The power light on my trusty BEFW11S4 v4 flashes and nothing I tried to solve the problem has worked.  I downloaded the latest firmware (1.52.03) but I can't go to the router configuration page.  So says the site Web of LinkSys, you can go in the back door by using their routine tftp.exe.  It is, whenever I try to download I get an error message "Unable to connect" Windows.

    Anyone know where I can download the correct tftp.exe file for my unit so I can try to update the firmware?

    Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

    I thank very you much for the link to the download.  I'm on the road right now, but I will try this fix as soon as I get back.  I'll let everyone know how it comes out.  Thanks again!

  • BEFW11S4 version?

    Hi good morning and people, if it's the morning where you are. I have a BEFW11S4, as stated in the subject line. I want to update the firmware but do not know the version of the router. I guess it's version 1, because it did not indicate anywhere on the body of router. What do you say? It seems to me he would be there was something that came out after version 1. Makes me think it is version 1. I hope that a well-functioning electronic mail preferences so that when someone answers that I get a notification. Thanks to all those who can help you. (I know that the unit is old, but it works. ha.)

  • BEFW11S4 use as Repeater smoothly in a 3-storey house

    I have a BEFW11S4 I try to use a Repeater seemless connected to another router wireless on the 3rd level of the House.   I have both value Static IP, DSL modem is 192.168.0.1, the Router 1 value # value 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.3 to the BEFW11S4.  Two routers have enabled with the same SSID, wireless router #1 on channel #1, BEFW11S4 on the #2 channel.  Router # 1A active DHCP, with encryption of 128 bit WEP and MAC address filtering.  BEFW11S4 has same SSID, WEP 128 encryption even / filtering by MAC, but the disabled DHCP address.  They are connected on a CAT 5 cable that connects the basement plugged into one of the connections four port Cat 5, running to one of the connections on the Router 1 # four 25 foot CAT5 port.   Router 1 # is a wireless 54 Mbps, while BEFW11S4 is 10 Mbps.  Network works fine, but the BEFW11S4 is constantly need to be recycled and it falls into a mode where it can no longer be detected.   Can you help me understand how to set the BEFW11S4, so it doesn't cut.  A simple power cycle corrected the problem.

    Thank you

    OK, I tried using the tftp.exe ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pub/network/ program and renamed befw11s4_v4_v1.52.02 in a short name, bef.bin. and I have had the exact same failures.  I was able to download the tool BEFW11S4_v15014_tftp.exe and befw11s4_v4_v1.50.14_code and update to the 1.50.14 level of the firmware.  I thought that maybe the level of intermediate code could be required.  Then tried the steps you suggest again, it does not always work with an INVALID FILE NAME.  While the tool is looking for something specific, other than this level of code.  Can you please place a version of the FLASH TOOL, which will work with the 1.52.02 firmware.  Thank you...

    Beaver, thanks for the reply.  I have not yet tried your advice but I got my wireless works that's why I tried to update the firmware.

  • Network of abandonment (intermittent and consistent) - Dell Inspiron 7347, Win 8.1, Linksys BEFW11S4, adapter Intel dual band wireless AC 7265

    History: I just bought a laptop / Tablet Dell Inspiron 7347 (exchanged for another unit, see below).   Problems to maintain a strong connection and when connected, it is very slow.   When it is connected to the wireless router, it maintains a (slow) connection for 3-5 minutes and then craps out (restrict the connection with the yellow "!" on the WiFi in the taskbar).  He then returned to the top of 1 3 minutes later.  It's a coherent continuous cycle.  I tried to reset the default router with no luck.

    All the other devices on this router (office, phone, IPad) all hold the connection without problem at the same time, this device is not.

    Notable: Before I bought this tablet/laptop I bought an Acer Aspire tablet / laptop which had exactly the same problem on my network.  I returned the unit for other reasons (quality of construction etc.), but he had the same OS (Win 8.1).  I don't know if she had the same network adapter.

    What I tried: cycling the router - cycling the modem - router the default factory reset of small animals - U-APSD deactivation on the network card - slapping me hard - offering to the gods...

    What I tried to try: tried to update the drivers for the Intel card using the Intel drivers update (adapter drivers for Win 8.1 and Intel PROset wireless), but he kept time during download because... THE NETWORK IS NOT STABLE! (ugh!)

  • Uninstall software update Apple says error in seller contact package package unstaller

    Try to get itunes working to make a backup of my faulty iphone before repair.

    First-itunes does not start says error. I'm trying to fix it, who said success but same error when you try to start it.

    Then uninstall completely worked. Then reinstall that seemed to be over except for a message "an older version of Apple software update already exists" then he went down and install itunes apparently had not been completed.

    Then I try to remove the update from the apple software and executed by an error in the installation program - it says there is an error in the installation and contact the supplier of the installation package. Same error if I run the uninstall command line program.

    Try to repair the Apple Software Update of programs & features Control Panel and then try to update iTunes again.

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    The more information box has direct links with the current and recent if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with third-party software.

    Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

    Go into the Contacts application and ensure that it uses the same account synchronization like the iPhone and other devices you may be using.

  • USB disabled after the update of the Sierra (a short circuit and a work)

    Hi, when I bought my mbp 13 inches mid2012 (used, not new) I noticed that a USB port did not work. In the Yosemite sometimes I noticed that a USB port consumed too much energy and have been disabled. (I think because the usb port has been short-circuited. Year when it was time to update the mbp to El Capitan I had a few panic the kernel and the newspaper was shown as the last driver loaded the USB driver, so I kept the mbp with Yosemite. A few days ago, I updated for Sierra but only usb which used to work stopped working. It has enabled and turned on but Finder and disk utility does not see the drive. In an Apple dealer they said that could be established relationships with some oxide and next week will take it and see what the problem is.

    If there is someone with the same problems, please tell me what to do! I don't want to put in the trash my mac just for a flash drive... but I need!

    Hi Supermene,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. Based on what you said, it appears as a USB device is not recognized in one of the USB ports. There are a few things that can cause this. I recommend you read these articles, which may be able to help solve the problem.

  • I can't go to my bookmarks after update for Sierra

    I have a MacBook Pro. I just updated this week to Sierra with no problems, but now when I click on multiple points in the upper left corner to reveal my favorites and my playlist only, it displays the top sites page and does not open my favorites and reading list, as it used to.

    Can someone tell me how to access my bookmarks and playlist in the Sierra? I'm sure it's something in the settings or something escapes me. My Bookmark Bar is the top of the page, yet. I can't find my bookmarks and reading list.

    Thank you

    I thought about it, I had to go to Favorites on top and tell Safari to display in the Sidebar again.
