| Firmware Version: V1.950
Release Date: 03/30/2004
Features Included:
1. V1.950 firmware support V1.3 boot code.
From V1.950 firmware to the latest firmware, runtime code can run under V1.3 boot code.
We can ignore V1.900 and V1.901 firmwares.
V1.5xx series of firmwares also can run under V1.3 boot code.
2.How to upgrade boot code to V1.3 boot code?
V1.500 and V1.501 runtime codes must run under V1.3 boot code.
V1.900 and V1.901 runtime codes must run under V1.9 boot code.
V1.901 has a bug about upgrade and we can abort this runtime code.
If you are using V1.500, V1.501 or V1.900, you can upgrade V1.3 boot code from Web UI. After upgrading ok, you can upgrade V1.950 runtime code from mini-Web UI. |

Where do you get these firmware from? I tried to get the latest from SMC's website, and they're still on v1.95 (1.1.2004). My router, purchased 1/21/05, shipped with v2.0 (7.15.2004). |

| I have version 2.0 firmware and I can't flash to 2.03. I've tried twice but it still reads 2.0 on the status page and NAT portmap still generates an error.
Any suggestions? Should I try the emergency reflash procedure? I don't want to do anything drastic, but I'd like to try out those new features... |

Cupertino, CA | You need to flash to 2.01 first and use MS IE, if not already, instead of Mozilla or others. |

1 edit | said by hpkuo  :You need to flash to 2.01 first and use MS IE, if not already, instead of Mozilla or others. Ah thank you. Yes, I was using Firefox.
Turns out even the "flashing" I thought I was doing in FF wasn't working at all.
As you suggested, through IE I flashed 2.01 first then 2.03 without a hitch. Thank you! |
