Has there been a firmware upgrade to this model since version 1.5.01 build 008 (August 2009)?

I run a small pc repair business, I've configured a lot of WIFI setups for customers. The hardest and the worst routers I've come across are Linksys. I purchased that one and finally just to get it out of my site sold it for 10 bucks. Never again will I purchase products from Linksys. Expensive, terrible support, and just plain not worth the effort. Check around Amazon for some really good deals on "N" routers, 20 or 30 bucks tops and no problem setting up. Hope this helps.Stevix

The company has been out of business since December of 2010, and I would highly doubt that anyone still has files from back then. I've scoured the internet for anything related to firmware upgrades and I don't see any publications or even announcements for a firmware update. I just figured that was one of the downfalls of this frame. About your only option is to manually change the names of the files on your memory card and shuffle them that way.

Bought mine 11 months ago. From around the time of the firmware update of Dec 7th 2012 it has been abysmal - the usual connecting/retrying/initializing network. I've done all the factory reset ops to no avail, as well as the usual with the network. No other devices on my network have issues. Came back to Amazon to check the latest reviews and lo and behold - I see tons of new radios with the same issue. In one review you see Grace acknowledging a firmware issue - but I have to ask WhyTheF haven't they either 1) reverted back to the previous-good firmware version by global release, or 2) enabled users with problems to install the previous version via the USB slot. You can clearly see how many of these units were purchased for Christmas here and returned to Amazon as defective. According to Grace's comments in this review: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1LDJTD7SEV60R/ref=cm_cr_pr_cmt?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B004YI9NTS&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag=#wasThisHelpful ===== I apologize for the frustration you are having. A recent software upgrade affected a small percentage of our customers. Unfortunately, our core software engineers are on holiday. They will be back on Monday and will work diligently to create a software upgrade for any customer who is experiencing this problem. ===== So I either waste time going through their support site and file a ticket, or hope that according to them the imminent release of good firmware will come. If you're having the connecting/initializing/retrying loop, rather than pulling your hair out thinking it's your network - consider if might be the bad firmware.

I received firmware version 3.AHL for Barracuda 7200.9. But probably doesn't mean you will get exact one.

The only time I was able to upgrade the firmware was during the initial setup, since then, I think it checks on it's on and "alerts" you an upgrade is available. Mine updated once on its own after I said it was allowed. Hope this may help you.

I just bought a new unit and not having the problem mentioned. Have you tried checking if there is a firmware update available and apply it?

Just go to the web.site and looking for the update firmware. Your version is 1.0 it should show a newer version 1.1

alot of the problems i read were related to firmware upgrade. Do you get a recent rev?? or do you have to do the upgrade when you bring it home?

I don't know if there is firmware update available. I am using it as a repeater so I can use the lan port for a desktop computer without wireless.

So far I've had no trouble and bought it after the firmware was to have been installed. I'm not familiar what the firmware improved but it works fine.

I bought one in May, 2008. It has the latest firmware and it still gets the white screen of death. Sucks

I have never had to update any firmware. I just load the copy and duplicate, I have never had to do that on any of my machines and I have been doing it fora long time.
