Link sys firmware.

Well I just upgraded my old linksys with the 1.5 firmware and windows
media quit working. I had to roll media player back to windows media 10.
How can I get the older firmware back? If anyone has that .bin file, can
you e-mail it to me please? Thanks.

You need to provide the Linksys model, and version if it has one, on the
factory label before people can begin to assist you in finding your
software.

I will do that. I am blind and will have to get someone to look on the
back. I didn't think of that. Thanks.

Here is the Official web site link for downloading the "current" factory
software.

http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/w...s/lbc/BEFW11S4

Note: There are presently 5 individual hardware versions of this router,
with each of them using a different download/software release.

You have to verify what your hardware version is, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 3.2, or
4.0. If you download and install the wrong firmware by choosing the
wrong hardware version the box may not work at all or not work
correctly. Usually the version is indicated on the same label that has
the model info on it.

According to the web site only hardware version 4.0 was designed to use
the 1.5 firmware.

I hope this helps get things going again, if not possibly some can track
down older software once you know the hardware version.

Sorry, forgot about the visual impairment. Not sure how your
translation software deals with mouse draw down arrow options.

Below are direct links for the various hardware versions, in case it was
just an incorrect version that was installed in your router.

One other thing I have noticed over the years of upgrading routers,
reset them to factory default prior to upgrading and then do the same
again, even if it looks like it is at factory level. Not all
configuration settings show up on the menu screens and resetting things
can eliminate some rather bizarre problems.

Setup Wizard, used for upgrading.

Here are direct links for the various software releases.

I just read my last message and realized all hardware versions except
4.0 were using the 1.45 release firmware and confirmed it on the Cisco
(they bought Linksys) Web site.

Only 4.0 has the 1.5 version of the firmware listed as the current in
that box so check the hardware revision of your box.

With out one to play around with it's possible the older version might
work on 4.0 but someone else will have to answer that question.

I thought the upgrade program kept a copy of the old version on the
local hard drive but it's been a couple of years since I ran the old
upgrade program. It might have been another brand that did that.

Again, Good Luck on fixing your router.
