    Firmware Upgrade Procedures:

    Linksys WRT320N v1 fw 1.00.03

    1. General Information
    Make: Linksys
    Model: WRT320N
    Hardware Version: any
    Firmware Version: 1.00.03

    MAC Address Info:


    WLAN MAC: two higher than LAN MAC.
    LAN MAC: labeled on the bottom of the device.
    WAN MAC: one higher than LAN MAC.

    Example: if the LAN MAC printed on the device is 00:11:DE:AD:BE:EF, then


    the WAN MAC is 00:11:DE:AD:BE:F0 and the WLAN MAC is
    00:11:DE:AD:BE:F1.

    Defaults Settings/Configuration:
    Default LAN IP Address: 192.168.1.1
    Web Interface Username: (empty)
    Default Web Interface Password: admin

    2. Wired Upgrade Procedure


    Prerequisites:
    • client computer with ethernet interface and firmware file
    • ethernet cable
    • device LAN IP address (referred to below as <Device_LAN_IP_Address>)
    • device web interface password

    Limitations: None

    Firmware Filename: [wrt320n_X].bin (where [wrt320n_X] is an optional string)

    Instructions:
    • Connect a wired (ethernet) client with DHCP enabled to a LAN port on the device
    with an ethernet cable. If you are not served an IP address by the device, you will
    need to determine the device LAN IP address (see next step) and manually assign
    the wired client an IP address in the same subnet as the device LAN IP address.
    For example, if the device LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1, assign yourself an IP
    address of 192.168.1.11.
    • Determine the <Device_LAN_IP_Address>. If the device is running DHCP, the
    device LAN IP address is likely the default gateway of your connected client;
    otherwise, if the device LAN IP address is not the default LAN IP address listed
    above, the device LAN IP address can be retrieved in wireless sniffer capture data
    (e.g., kismet).
    • Log on to the device’s web interface by opening a web browser and pointing it to
    http://<Device_LAN_IP_Address>, where “<Device_LAN_IP_Address>” is the
    device IP address determined from the previous step (i.e., not the literal string
    “<Device_LAN_IP_Address>”). For example, if the <Device_LAN_IP_Address>
    is 192.168.1.1, use http://192.168.1.1.
    • At the login prompt, enter the web interface password and click OK.
    • Then click the “Administration” link on the upper right tab.
    • Then click the “Firmware Upgrade” tab.
    • Click the “Browse…” button and browse to the [wrt320n_X].bin firmware file the
    client computer.
    • Click the “Start to Upgrade” button.
    • Watch the interface for any additional steps/error messages/information.
    • NOTE: the upgrade progress bar can seem to “hang” at 98% for many (~90)
    seconds. Be patient – eventually the device will report status.

    Reboots Automatically After Upgrade: Yes

    Approximate Upgrade Time: 160 seconds


    Approximate Upgrade and Reboot Time: 200 seconds

    Known Issues: None

    3. Wireless Upgrade Procedure


    Prerequisites:
    • client computer with 802.11 wireless client card (or built-in 802.11 client
    hardware).
    • wireless encryption (WEP, WPA, or WPA2) key (if wireless security is enabled)
    • device LAN IP address (referred to below as <Device_LAN_IP_Address>)
    • device web interface password

    Limitations: None

    Firmware Filename: [wrt320n_X].bin (where [wrt320n_X] is an optional string)

    Instructions:
    • Connect/associate the wireless (802.11) client computer (with DHCP enabled) to
    the device. If wireless encryption (WEP, WPA, or WPA2) is enabled on the
    device, enter the key when prompted. If you are not served an IP address by the
    device, you will need to determine the device LAN IP address (see next step) and
    manually assign the wired client an IP address in the same subnet as the device
    LAN IP address. For example, if the device LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1,
    assign yourself an IP address of 192.168.1.11.
    • Determine the <Device_LAN_IP_Address>. If the device is running DHCP, the
    device LAN IP address is likely the default gateway of your connected client;
    otherwise, if the device LAN IP address is not the default LAN IP address listed
    above, the device LAN IP address can be retrieved in wireless sniffer capture data
    (e.g., kismet).
    • Log on to the device’s web interface by opening a web browser and pointing it to
    http://<Device_LAN_IP_Address>, where “<Device_LAN_IP_Address>” is the
    device IP address determined from the previous step (i.e., not the literal string
    “<Device_LAN_IP_Address>”). For example, if the <Device_LAN_IP_Address>
    is 192.168.1.1, use http://192.168.1.1.
    • At the login prompt, enter the web interface password and click OK.
    • Then click the “Administration” link on the upper right tab.
    • Then click the “Firmware Upgrade” tab.
    • Click the “Browse…” button and browse to the [wrt320n_X].bin firmware file on
    the client computer.
    • Click the “Start to Upgrade” button.
    • Watch the interface for any additional steps/error messages/information.

    Reboots Automatically After Upgrade: Yes
