Re: Warning to Linksys BEFSR11/41 users - DON'T install latest firmware!

A search on the net shows many people are having problems with it, and reccommend reverting to 1.44.2 Older versions are hard to find on the linksys site - They can be found here

If you are having problems that you were blaming NTL's general crapress on, and are running 1.45.x, I'd strongly reccommend you try the 1.44.2 firmware (remember to keep a note of your MAC clone adderess and other settings as these are cleared after a firmware upgrade).

Interestingly I've only noticed problems recently, although I upgraded my router quite a while ago.


When I still used a BEFSR41v2 [I now have a WRT54G], I had connection problems using the v1.45.7 firmware.
