linksys WRT54G Firmware...

[L1Technician]

---

give me proof of you're saying.... that for example europe firmwares can brick asian routers. haha... but before doing that, lemme first inspect the file, the router model and version number.

coz you might use the wrong version, that has lead you to generalize the problem. lolz

I can accept if its my defeat. Im not any other someone there who pretends to know everything in this world... ^_^

but your majesty, if example his wrt54g is version 1 and u'll be downloading the firmware for version 1.1 then of course it will break.... lolz

Lets put it these way bro we will wait until I could have another vacation in Cebu/Visayas and I will personally demonstrate it to you. The thread is not going to the right track. Dont talk about the defeat because this is not a contest, this is a forum just to refresh your mind. Nothing is defeated by exchanging ideas and thought thats how forum works bro. No one is defeated. Peace.

Just to add, I do paid my bills and eat well by testing firmware for a router company.

Maria Reina E. (29797): 'What seems to the be issue? [11:37:22 PM]
christian eala: Ok thanks [11:36:06 PM]
christian eala: My wireless connection keeps on disconnecting me from the Internet [11:36:29 PM]
christian eala: Im planning to update the firmware of the router after tried searching in Google [11:36:55 PM]
christian eala: But Im not sure if the firmware is compatible for my router [11:37:14 PM]
Maria Reina E. (29797): Okay, don’t worry, we will check what caused the issue and come up with a solution to fix this. [11:38:48 PM]
Maria Reina E. (29797): Please allow me to verify things further. [11:38:52 PM]
christian eala: Go ahead please [11:37:47 PM]
Maria Reina E. (29797): Thanks. [11:39:26 PM]
Maria Reina E. (29797): By the way, may I know which country are you based in? [11:39:38 PM]
christian eala: Im in Philippines [11:38:49 PM]
Maria Reina E. (29797): Can you please confirm the Model, Version and Serial number of the router? You can determine that by looking at the sticker on the bottom of the router. The Version number is displayed beside the Model number. If none is indicated, then that's Version 1. [11:41:53 PM]
christian eala: Oh I dont have the device with me at the moment but I do remember the modem number its a WRT54G v1 [11:41:48 PM]
Maria Reina E. (29797): Oh, I see. [11:43:10 PM]
christian eala: I think that's the correct model [11:42:02 PM]
christian eala: I have a question for you though [11:42:14 PM]
Maria Reina E. (29797): We need to make sure what's the exact version number for your router so we will know firmware to use. [11:43:47 PM]
christian eala: I also own a D-link router previously but they're firmware is different from the other country [11:43:18 PM]
christian eala: Now here is my question. [11:43:25 PM]
Maria Reina E. (29797): Please continue. [11:44:58 PM]
christian eala: Is it possible if I will upload a firmware with the same model number the same revision but the firmware that I will upload in my Linksys router is in different country like Middle East. [11:44:43 PM]
christian eala: I mean in the Linksys website it has different country, so can I use the firmware from Middle East same modem same revision? [11:45:42 PM]
christian eala: Im quite confuse [11:46:05 PM]
Maria Reina E. (29797): It is better to download the firmware from the country where you're based from . [11:47:38 PM]
christian eala: So what you mean is even though I have the same model number and the same revision it is not safe if I will use another countries firmware? [11:47:23 PM]
Maria Reina E. (29797): Yes, it is not safe. [11:49:13 PM]
christian eala: Oh really [11:48:04 PM]
christian eala: Now I know [11:48:14 PM]
christian eala: Because like what I have for a D-Link router every country have different firmware revision regardless of the same model and the same revision and they tell me it will fried up my router if I will not use my countries firmware version, do you agree about this? [11:49:29 PM]
Maria Reina E. (29797): Yes. [11:51:13 PM]
christian eala: Thank you about that. [11:50:12 PM]
christian eala: Just to confirm before I will let you go [11:50:23 PM]
Maria Reina E. (29797): You're welcome, Christian. [11:52:13 PM]
Maria Reina E. (29797): Please go ahead. [11:52:21 PM]
christian eala: I have this WRT54G v1 and my uncle bought it in the mall here in the Philippines so basically what your trying to tell me is I have to use the firmware which is designed for Philippines. [11:52:07 PM]
christian eala: Using another countries firmware is not safe and can damage the warranty of the router if uploaded to your router which is not belong to the said router? Am I correct? Please correct me If im wrong please... [11:53:30 PM]
christian eala: I mean to the said country [11:53:50 PM]
Maria Reina E. (29797): Using the firmware that is downloaded from other country is not safe to use. The firmware should comes from the country where it is based from or at least nearby or neighboring countries. [11:57:09 PM]
christian eala: Thank You Maria. [11:56:23 PM]
christian eala: Can you give me a favor please. [11:56:30 PM]
