"Get new Firmware" on by GSES
Pros: Fast at long Distances, Stable
Cons: Old Firmware is useless
Summary: I had endless troubles with this Router when I first purchased it. It would not work properly with any VoIP application, including Skype or MSN Messenger. Connection speeds would also drop to 5mbs, around 5ft from the router. Linksys will provide you with 1.00.12 (Beta) which dramatically improves this router from a paper weight to a solid performer. The router comes with v. 1.00.09 installed.

Just bought this router and installed it. When I registered it on-line, the registration stated there was a firmware upgrade for the router (version 1.00.17). Being careful and exactly accurate, I followed the instructions for downloading and installing the upgrade. As soon as it itstalled, I lost internet connection. After spending over two hours on the phone with Linksys support, they determined the firmware upgrade "fried" the router and that I would have to return it for a "reburbished" replaced. This of course will take 10 days or more and who knows what physical shape the "refurbished" router will be in (after I just paid retail for a brand new one). So be cautious when upgrading the firmware. i would suggest calling Linksys support to verify that the current firmware version has no bugs in it.
