Dear community,
Does anyone know where I can find the latest version of the firmware for the RV042 10/100 4-port VPN router? I could be wrong but it appears that Cisco made changes to the design of the RV042, and released it under the same name. The version of the firmware posted on the Cisco website is VERY different... which suggests that it is not compatible with my RV042. Furthermore, I found the following posting in one of the Cisco forums:
"Note: This firmware version will only work with the newly released RV042, RV082, and RV016 Version 3 hardware. It is not backward compatible with previous hardware versions." [SOURCE: RV016, RV042, RV082 Hardware V3 Firmware Update]

Hi wakazula1,
Unfortunately Cisco does not publish the firmware for the older version 1 and 2 hardware. Firmware is only available for download for the latest version 3 hardware.

Hi Marty.
Thanks for the reply to my inquiry.
That is unfortunate - I had hoped to download the "latest" firmware for my RV042 to address a known issue MTU issue :(

Hi,
I got confused about the versions you mentioned.
My RV042 has a firmware v4.2.3.03 but what is another version 1.3.13.02?

It's a bit confusing... But basically over the years Cisco has released the RV042 with different hardware. As such, you have to be mindful when upgrading your router as the firmware versions are not backward compatible with the older hardware (like mine).

Hi,
Don't forget to backup your router before doing an upgrade.

alexandrequintela1,
You can look at the sticker that has the model number of the device. It would say "RV042 v3" for version 3 hardware.
