  4. I upgraded from 1.00.09 to 1.00.12 two days ago and my router has been rebooting itself every few minutes ever since. When I contacted Linksys support they told my to downgrade to version 10! Furthermore they told me they would email me the 1.00.10 firmware but they have not and it is not available on their site. So now I am left with useless router, an I have to say it was not that great to begin with.

    I asked the support guy why this version is on their site if it is no good, to which I did not get a reply.

    So I agree with the other anonymous user, this upgrade IS in error. DO NOT USE IT!!!!

    For those who are sceptical here is the transcript of the chat conversation. I obfuscated my contact details:

  5. I am having lots of trouble with this router, I lose wireless connection every 10 minutes or so, but when I connect through the cable, it works ok.
    This does not do what it was purchsed for, so, time to through in the garbage bin.

    My msg "Don't waste your money on a similar router"
