Linksys updating woes Black Icarus 04-12-08

While I'm sitting here doing video conversions, .... -)

I have a Linksys router WRT54G ver 7.
Someone has been playing with it and, I think, corrupted the firmware.
I have done the full button reset (and > 1 min if anybody asks).

When logging in, I get access to the 192.168.1.1 page but
then get confronted by a "Management Mode Firmware Upgrade" page.

Been to the Linksys web site. Unimpressed in a general sense because
I'm trying to get the original firmware for the model (correct me if
I shouldn't be doing this). Bless me but when I get here

Link to Linksys.....> http://tinyurl.com/4y7u3j

.. I don't see a link to the download file. There is a V7 file yes?
Should I go with a different firmware?

Help will be appreciated.

All you need to do is reinstall the drivers from the CD. If you
don't have the CD, you can load the CD from the website (correct me
if I'm wrong, as I always back up all my installation disks).

Let the install run up to the point it asks you for new system
password, you don't really need to let it try to complete the
configuration. You may have to force end teh program with via the
Task Manager.

Go to 192.168.1.1 again. Enter the default password of "admin",
leaving the user name blank.

I you real sure it's a 54G not a 54GS? There is a version 7 for the GS,
which has speed booster.

Always in small offices, the disks will be lost.
It's a Murphy's law kind of thing.
