Problem with Linksys Wireless-B 2.4GHz wireless router (BEFW1154)

Hi,



I am facing problems with the Linksys wireless router at my home:



o I have to reboot the router every time I need my laptop to recognize the wireless network.



o Sometimes even when my IBM laptop shows full network connectivity, I dont see any packets being exchanged over the connection and everything seems to come to standstill, reboot of the router is the only solution.



Wondering if I need a firmware upgrade on the box... I am not sure how to check existing firmware version on the router.



Any help is greatly appreciated...



Thanks!

The current version is "1.45.3, Jul 1 2003".

I recently had this problem and found that the default channel was set to 10 (my attempt to minimize interference created by mobile phone). I set the default channel to 7 and it now works every time.
