wireless upgrades: has anyone been able to upgrade firmware with a wireless device or can you only use a lan line?

Jeff, has anyone responded to your question? I have the same situation and would love to add a wireless adapter to my DMP-BD55k but not sure it will work.

It looks like LG did correct the problem with the firmware upgrade. I did the firmware upgrade thru my wireless network just couple days ago and it came thru successfully. I was thinking if it failed, I'd do what Matt suggested. You might want to give it a try again with the upgrade. I'm going to rent a blue-ray movie, hopefully it won't freeze.

Not sure if it will do it with the stock firmware. If you are willing to take some time to learn how to load on TomatoUSB you can set it up in WDS mode and it will extend your wifi. Or DD-WRT can be set up as a repeater as well.

I have the 8916 model and I did have you use the LAN line to set it up initially, but once it is set up, you no longer need LAN, just a wireless router.

In general, yes. I don't know if any specific updates for THIS device are available, but the device itself is part of the former Linksys product suite, so if any updates exist, they are available.

You will have to pay for support of you want to get firmware updates. I wont pay for firmware support on a $350 router.All customers will have access to FW 5.2.x, but access to FW 5.3, (Dec 2nd 2014 release) and beyond, will require Enterprise Cloud Manager or CradleCare Support.

YES - I just installed a used WRE54G with 1.0 firmware (no ethernet port) and it had to be configured FIRST with WEP but then allowed WPA (Not WPA2)

You can order the maps or firmware upgrade from the seller you purchased from. I have these. Thanks.

I just got mine today, and it worked immediate on v2.0.1, but I upgraded to the latest version on the website as of 3/8/2015 (2.0.7) and it would no longer connect to my router.... it would say it was trying to connect but never would. I downloaded 2.0.1 which was what mine came to me on, and it worked correctly again on that version. I would say generally to anyone looking at this product, try it out of the box, and if it does everything you need it to do, then don't upgrade the firmware.

Sorry. No. I wanted to try that too. But no go. If you need wireless you need the next model up I think.

Some monitoring companies such as those aligned with Alarm.com can do a wireless firmware upgrade (mine did) which is required if your main control panel is on a different firmware than the TS-1. Likewise, the TS-1 and Control panel need to be on a more current version of the firmware - 1.9 I believe so requesting an update is advisable anyway.

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.

I double checked the router and the manufacturer website specs for this router and it doesn't appear to support the 802.11b protocol, but check your device manufacturer's website you may be able to upgrade the device with a firmware download. the router is worth the hassle for the range and reliability alone. I'm running 2 hardwired and 6 wireless devices with no less than 4 devices online at a given time with no signal or speed degradation

there was a mistake. I remember asus uploaded a firmware that wasnt for the R1 but instead for the AIR version. google is your friend and it will help you find it, many people upgraded it and got the wireless option, the very same that youre asking for; the problem is that some people got bricks or problems for using that firmware. also you should try and see if other wlan sticks function

I'd use cat5 hardwire to your router firmware usually fails with wi-fi and it is basically useless if you don't update the firmware when asked. But mine is a couple of years old it may have changed since then.

you can configure it any way you like but the default is port 0 is LAN port 1 is WAN...and the very first thing you want to do is upgrade to the latest firmware
