Help with Firmware Upgrade
Hi
Just trying to update the firmware on my WRT54GS UK router, download the correct file from linksys and went to router homepage, browsed to file and then upgrade. That was about 20 mins ago, stuck half through, what should I do, will it finish or have I screwed my router.

Re: Help with Firmware Upgrade
trick question...did you run the firmware from wired or wireless?
if wireless then your extremely lucky to get into your router again.

even if he had bricked it it might not have been the end of the world.
I bricked my dlink g624t the other day when the updater crashed out halfway though flashing it with the Routertech firmware
Fortuantly the bootloader was still intact so i was able to manually set the ip/gateway address on the pc and rerun the update ultility.
So i guess if it had have been bricked providing the bootloader was intact and able to be accessed it might not have been the end for that router.
Btw the routertech firmware is brilliant, if you own a compatable router its well worth a try.

Re: Help with Firmware Upgrade
I had problem about ten mins ago with firmware upgrade on linksys BEFSR41 router. I went straight to linksys uk? site found product, downloaded firmware, but when i tried to update it kept on failing, did that a few times, no joy. Then i realised these routers have different versions, mine was V3 so i scanned the download section on linksys site instead of the product, and i was then able to download the proper firmware update. I never realised there are so many different versions of the BEFSR41.
