I do not know exactly what "Upgrade file pattern error" means for your router, but it implies to me that your .bin file is corrupted or maybe not for that router.

i will try to download the file again and see what happens then

i deleted the file and re-downloaded it but when I attempted to upgrade with it i got the same error. I dunno what else to do...

I've lost track.

Could we have a short summary of where we are on what problem(s), please?

I'm having a problem staying connected to the internet when using a wireless connection. I've been told to upgrade my firmware, but when I try to do this an "Upgrade file pattern error" occurs. I've looked it up and it appears others are getting this same error. Here's what I got from other people's posts...

This router may have been used with Vonage in order to have the telephone work through the internet. It makes sense that this is why my ex left me this router since he is not using Vonage's services any longer. This is still a Linksys router though, and an upgrade is available through Linksys's website but for some reason my router is not allowing me to upgrade it. Someone said something about VOIP providers locking the router by changing the voice tab's password. The thing is, I went to the voice tab and it does not ask for any password. In fact, it doesn't say anything at all, so I'm not sure if this is even the problem (or even if this is in fact the router that was with Vonage). I also don't think that Vonage actually provided this router as I seem to recall him puchasing the router from Best Buy. I'm running out of things to do here...do you have any suggestions?

It's advertised as a router to be used with Vonage, so it probably doesn't matter whether it was Vonage supplied or bought from Best Buy. I have no further ideas about upgrading the router.

Just skimmed through the thread again and you said that friends' laptops do not have disconnect problems with your router. True? That could be an indication that you do not have the latest correct driver for the adapter (but I think we beat this one to death already, right?) or the adapter is beginning to fail.

this is true...it says my drivers are up to date, and he did not have trouble staying connected for the time that he was here. Can you tell me where to go to update the driver manually? maybe my computer "thinks" it is up to date when in actuality it is not?

Way back in post # 17 JohnWill said, "You need to go to the Marvel website and get the latest driver and install it manually." Start here.

oh yeah! ok thanks

hewwo2u2 · 31-Jan-2009, 07:18 PM **#55**

ok im already stuck. I cannot find the driver for what I have...

hewwo2u2 · 31-Jan-2009, 07:21 PM **#56**

I'm finding info for Yukon (which is my LAN connection) but not for TopDog which is my wireless

hewwo2u2 · 04-Feb-2009, 09:30 PM **#57**

anyone know why this is? Do you see it on the website?

**TerryNet** · 04-Feb-2009, 10:06 PM **#58**

I can't find anything about wireless either. Maybe Marvel has discontinued all support and no longer even admits to their existence?

so I have a NEW problem now. Now when I connect to the internet something weird happens. Normally on the connect/disconnect to a network I see a neighbor's network (poor signal strength) and then my network, which is called "jessnet" with excellent signal strength.

Well now when I go to the connect to a network menu, I have 3 different networks listed that all appear to be mine. One is called jessnet, another jessnet2 and a third called unidentified network (which when I click on it it asks me to type in the name of the network (jessnet) and the password.

what's worse is that now when my computer decides to disconnect, when I go to the connect to a network screen, everything disappears except for one of the jessnets which then says no signal strength. Ofcourse after a reboot, all 3 networks reappear with excellent signal strength.
I didn't change anything that I know of and I was never able to update the firmware so I don't think it was that either. How do I get rid of these other 2 networks? I went to a screen where it said I could chose which ones my computer can connect to but 1.) only 2 of them are listed here, and 2.) this doesn't remove the network altogether.
I don't want my computer to have 3 different networks whether it connects to them or not. Why in the world is happening?
