Linksys E4200 - can update firmware and roll backs damage my router?

Hello

I had to restore the firmware on my Linksys E4200 (v2) because I had problems after upgrading the firmware. I tried to upgrade again and again met with problems. In short, I improved a few times and restored several times. Currently I'm on the old firmware and I without any problem.

In the old days, it was not wise to update the firmware of some peripheral hardware too often, because some devices has agreed that a limited number of updates to firmware... don't ask me why :-)

Is this also the case with the Linksys E4200 or can I upgrade and roll back as often as the requires, or as often as I want to try to upgrade because of new features...?

Thank you

SJW

As long as you do the right steps during the upgrade/downgrade the router (loading the firmware using a wired computer, not to interrupt the upgrade/downgrade process, load the right file, etc.), the unit should be fine.

  • Impossible to do a clean install on a Partitioned drive C - the screen of the Machine is a "black screen" after Microsoft NVidia driver updated optional; Cannot roll back.

    Some time before, Microsoft had an optional update for the NVidia graphics driver on a 32-bit F3V ASUS laptop.

    Prior to that, everything worked perfectly. The only problem was with this 'bad' optional driver update that was installed once before; and got the black screen, but managed to make it back this time.

    The machine has two partitions; both have a defined password.

    I lost the password to one of them and have no backup.

    Until the black screen, antivirus updates have been updated.

    The equipment works properly.

    Other than a slight overheating issue while games graphics w/3D acceleration (83 degrees Celsius), the machine works pretty much perfectly.

    The machine display perfectly in safe mode.

    Done the following:

    (1) roll back; has failed because the regular (important) Windows Update has not created a restore point * and * previous restore points had been erased.

    (2) the Startup Repair (without and then with the Windows 7 installation disc). Message says "unable to repair.

    (3) w/installer disk, went to the command line as an administrator, tried to format c: received message "there is not enough space on this partition. Please allocate more space, and then try again. "

    (4) boot safe mode with network, downloaded and successfully installed the updates of the NVidia - graphics driver and still have the black screen to normal startup.

    Went 5) for computer management and cleanmgr without success.

    I'm almost ready to consider a shop.

    If you have compatible hardware and your computer still stops responding, disable any unnecessary material. Remove (USB) universal serial bus devices. Remove or disable network cards, sound cards and cards of the series; and then restart the installation.

    Try the following

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

    Click Install now

    Accept the license agreement

  • Linksys E4200 and VoipBuster sip call

    Hello

    Just recently bought a router Linksys E4200 and it was rocking so far! I've updated since a WRT320N. However it seems that the call SIP (using my account Voip Buster) no longer works...

    I don't seem to be able to register with the Voip service. Port is 5060 standard (if I remember correctly, I'm not at home now) and I've already enabled on the router the special tick for Voip calling ALG. Router is upgraded to the latest firmware and it's the V1 router.

    With all the foregoing, I cannot yet connect to VoipBuster using SIP. It worked like a charm with the WRT320N, so it's something with the router.

    Can anyone help? Thanks a bunch!

    Try the following steps:

    [A] with the help of the Cisco Connect software (if at all, you have installed the router using this software)

    1] open the software and go to the option that says "settings of the router.

    [2] then click on the option that says 'Advanced settings', which will take you to the router configuration page.

    [3] lower the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) of 1500 to 1400 or less (usually found on the main page / basic configuration of your router)

    4] click administration and disable UPnP.

    [B] If you have not installed Cisco connect then you can connect to the router's user interface using its default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and enter "admin" as password empty username field. This will take to the web interface of the router and then follow the steps as indicated above to make the changes.

    Second, it also depends on the type of VOIP provider, you must open the ports on your router. H.323 uses 1719 and 1720 for signaling, dynamic ports for media. SIP tends to use 5060 for signage, dynamic again for the media.

    Follow this link and open the ports on your router to your VOIP: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=80&login=1&app=search&vw=1&articleid=17241

  • Roll back the firmware update

    Hello

    Is it possible to roll back the update of the firmware? I put on the Hebrew firmware 01.01.15 - I was wondering if I can take that off and put that ordinary English? Is it possible or do I just wait for the next firmware update and use English? I was told to look at the other posts here so that he can recognize the Hebrew he needs to UTF-16 encoding - but my s/w EasyTag for Linux can only do utf16 for id3v2 and the "rocket" uses only id3v1 correct?

    I am so frustrated with this.

    For a manual installation of firmware, simply unzip the compressed firmware file and place it in the root directory of the "rocket".

    When the rocket starts, it performs a check for a new firmware file in the root directory.  If you have placed the file in the root, it will automatically replace its current firmware with the one you have placed there.

    This can be done in MSC or MTP mode.  The only difference with MTP mode is that you first need to double-click on "Internal memory" to access the root durectory.

  • OverDrive Media Console - firmware update Fuze and can no longer download audio books


    My experience is that you can not set the clock manually.  While in line, plug the "rocket" and something of its meaning (any file random non - DRM) transfer using the * Windows Media Player *.  This seems to set the internal clock (but you must be * online * while do you - it updates the clock of the internet).

    I noticed the "rocket" is particularly sensitive to obtaining of the clock of discount for a reason any (for some reason my Clip has not been nearly as often, the clock reset the "rocket" has).  I have no "always - on" internet and I noticed pretty much everytime I open WMP with attached rocket & no internet connection, it resets the clock of the rocket, causing Overdrive "unit clock not set" message.  This is a big concern for me to get the clock reset (to find an internet connection).  What I think is happening: when you open WMP it seems looking for all connected devices, and set their internal clock at the time of the internet - and you're out of luck if you don't currently have an active internet connection (I think this is a bug in WMP, but I have not confirmed).  To make sure that I do not open with any attached Sansas WMP.  Never.  (Or more).  And the internal clock to my Fuze slept together for going on 6 months now. (It was previously reset every week or two.)

    My second thought (actually, probably the original problem) - firmware update resets a bunch of stuff to the default values.  The rocket USB mode was probably return the default (Auto-detect, not-so-affectionately nicknamed 'auto-defaut').  Go to settings | USB mode and set it back to the PSG so OverDrive can use it and then try again.

    Good luck.

  • BlackBerry Curve 8330 - OTA update, smartphones now says roll back java and turns on

    So, I am sure that my phone is fried - through the wireless software update my phone told me to download Blackberry yesterday.

    Small update icon appears on the screen telling me that there is an upgrade of the QSR software so I say to download on-line.  About half an hour later, my phone Flash and comes with a quick screen that says "roll back java" with a status bar that remains at 99% and then power cycles and did the same thing.  I had to take the battery out - is the power cycling every minute at least.  It won't do anything else, and it does not recognize my blackberry desktop software.  I left the battery during the night so the cycling power does not drain the battery and when I put the battery back inside, just going to go back to his small msg Java and bike power.

    Any ideas?  I'll take it to Telus later today.  I guess that he should be sent to the outside and re-flashed and I will lose everything on it.

    A big thank you to Blackberry for a such upgrade impressive.  Twits.

    You could have lost everything on it, but we'll see what we can do first.

    1. NEVER make the upgrages wireless without first making your own manual backup using the Desktop Manager. RIM needs to get this right, and I hope that they are listening.

    2 try this on your device:

    If your BlackBerry is still under tension turned off with a black screen, follow the instructions below. The only indication of life may be the flashing red indicator light in the upper corner. Nothing seems to wake and Desktop Manager does not recognize that a device is connected.

    (1) make sure that you have Blackberry Desktop Manager installed.
    http://NA.BlackBerry.com/eng/services/desktop/
    (2) on your PC, go to start > run and copy and paste the following line exactly (i.e. with quotation marks):

    'c:\program files\common research in motion\apploader\loader.exe' /nojvm

    (3) the Application Loader Wizard will appear - click on "next".
    (4) in the ' connection: ' drop-down menu, you should see "USB - PIN: UNKNOWN". Click on the button "next".
    (5) you should see a list of applications ready to be installed for your Blackberry. Press Next and finish, and that you are well on your way to get your Blackberry to life. Congratulations! Just unplug and let the process finish completely.

    NOTE: If you do not display the list of applications mentioned in step 5 and instead to see the message "the Blackberry Desktop Software has no Blackberry Device Software for the device you have connected to the computer. Contact your wireless service provider or system administrator', then you must download the Blackberry operating system for your support and your device.
    http://www.BlackBerryFAQ.com/index.php/BlackBerry_Operating_System_Downloads
    Just select the appropriate type of carrier and network, select your Blackberry model from the list and download the latest version. Install this download and follow the steps above again and you should be on the right track.

  • Can I roll back after updating to Windows 8?

    I am very happy to upgrade to Windows 8, but I'm afraid that my graphics card might not work with it. I tried the preview and was wrong with it. If I install Windows 8 on top of Windows 7 and the card does not work, is it possible to go back to Windows 7. So, I'd rather not dual boot it because I would move in Windows 8 with all my programs and files already there.
