Linksys updating woes

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.

you might try the Linksys forum over on - Broadband Reports -

Since you use "Telstra" did you try the Linksys Australia site?

Great link. The early versions are there. Thank you.

I'm not familiar with the "problems" to which you allude. So far, I have the wizard and bin file from the linksys-au site (V7) and from the another Linksys site, a version V7.2.

The notes/info from there indicate that 7.2 is not backward compatible with earlier WRT54G V7 models. You're more or less saying that Aus version (V7) as it exists is preferable to an even earlier version?

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

Your original post said that you wished to have the "original" firmware The original firmware for the V7 router was 7.00.1. F/ware 7.00.3 resolved some 34 issues that the original firmware had so it would be foolish to consider using the original f/ware.

Understood now. Thanks.
