Thought you might says that, not an easy thread to get to grips with - all you do is download the factory file from page one, go into your router's settings page and choose to upgrade firmware, point it to that file and wait a couple of minutes. Follow the instructions, then do the same for the last file (latest build) on the last page of the thread. All you then do is put in your wireless settings as before.

You will get a better performing router with more features and, who knows, there's an outside chance your other problems may be solved too.
