Hello Community,

I have A Small Business Router VPN RV042G V01, Having problems with current firmware need to downgrade or upgrade. I can find any firmware, does someone have a file I can use, old or new would be great. Cisco only has HW version 3 to download and they don't have the firmware anywhere. Someone please help......

Hello,

RV042G has only one hardware version and the corresponding firmware for this device is the one for RV0XX hardware version 3 - meaning firmware files starting from 4.2.1.X

RV042G is not compatible with the firmware for hardware version 1 for RV0XX - those are firmwares 1.X and 2.X.

Okay, If your right that helps me a lot! Which explains why it still works for the most part. But this brings me to my second problem, the web interface doesn't load unless I manually restart the router by unplugging it. I thought it was because I up dated the firmware to 4.2.2.08. Would you have some insight to this problem?

There were similar bug in version 4.2.2.08 - CSCuh83563, which is reported to be fixed in the latest firmware - 4.2.3.03. 

You may check the release notes - http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/routers/csbr/rv0xx/release/RV0xx_RN_4-2-3-03.pdf

If you face the problem after update to the latest firmware, I would suggest to make factory reset without uploading any backup after that. And if after that it is still the same behavior, I would advise to call the support line - the root cause could be something else - http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/web/tsd-cisco-small-business-support-center-contacts.html

Thanks a lot worked great, everything is normal. I just wanted to mention I got more help and the CORRECT answer from the community. Cisco nor Linksys couldn't help me at all, and I offer to pay their $75 dollar fee for engineer help. 

Thanks again...
