3CRWER100-75: Wrong firmware to upgrade

[quentinpa]

I am trying to upgrade the router 3CRWER100-75, and I get this message:



Wrong firmware to upgrade

The version of code you have attempted to download is not compatible with this device. Please check and try again !



I have tried with the 3 upgrades in 3COM web page:



3CRWER100_200_V1_2_1_ww

3CRWER100_200_V1_3_0_ww

3crwer100_200-75_v1_3_06_WW



I have SW release 1.2 at the moment

I need to upgrade the router because I am getting low throughput while using L2TP, and it seems that this issue is fixed with the upgrade to 1.3

I get the exact same message when I try to upgrade. The only difference is that I have the 3CRWER200-75 router.

What to do??

What browser are you using ? What firware do you haev on your router and to which version are you upgrading ?

Try both IR and Firefox in case of Java Script issues.

If it does not work on IE or Firefox, you can trey the following, make sure you are connected to the router of course:

1- Download the latest firmware from the website, unpack it to have the BIN file, the EXE or ZIP will not be accepted.

1- Press the reset button for 30 sconds, this will delete the firmware totally off

2- Fix your PC to IP address 192.168.1.2 , subnet 255.255.255.0 and Gateway 192.168.1.1, DNS use 192.168.1.1

3- Open browser and go to 192.168.1.1

In the Emergency page that you will find, upload the new firmware by browsing to the fiemware you downloaded and selecting it.

By doing the 30 seconds reset, you are deleting the older firmware from the router and there is No DHCP server on the router, hence the need to use Fixed IP address on your PC.

3CRWER200 and 3CRWER100 are very much the same, only difference is WI-FI Speed , 100 is 54Mbps while 200 is 108Mbps

 I successfully applied 3CRWER100_200_V1_2_1_ww. But couldn't get the rest to work. I pressed the reset button for more than 30 seconds, but the firmware wasn't deleted. It just boots back up. 

Please advise, thank you.

HP is requesting a SAID to get access to software download and of course this is not something i have having purchased a 3com product before the take over.
