Don't use the setup cd.

1.50.14 works just fine on my BEFW11S4v4. Stomp on the reset button for about 20 seconds to reset to defaults. Plug in a WIRED connection between your computah and one of the LAN ports on back of the router. Don't try to do the configuration via wireless. Open an MSDOS window with: Start -> Run -> cmd IPCONFIG Verify that the gateway address is 192.168.1.1. Fire up a web browser and point it to: http://192.168.1.1/Note the extra "/" at the end. You should get the login screen.

Hi all, have just installed new firmware version 1.50.14 on my LINKSYS BEFW11S4 but cannot now get it setup from the setup CD. Any ideas? cannot find earlier versions of firmware either to go back.

Have tried configuring the router manually with no success. I think it maybe that my blueyonder cable modem has problems with the new firmware or the new firmware has issues with it. I cant find the older versions of firmware on the linksys ftp site they only seem to have the 50.14 version which is the one I just installed. The CD worked perfectly to set up the router on the old firmware so I feel that is probably my best chance of getting this problem solved. Any help in finding older versions of LINKSYS BEFW11S4 firmware of muchly appreciated

This version of firmware will not even write to the router. Are you able to write older firmware versions to this router? When I tried this version 1.50.10 it said it couldnt connect to server whereas 1.50.14 will quite happily wipe the flash and update the router.

Cheers for your help tho.

Where are you downloading your f/ware from ,your e-mail addy implies UK and having checked the International download it quotes ver 1.50.13. I think you will find that 1.50.10 & 1.50.14 are for the US. Try
