Subject: Router problem






I have a laptop connected via wireless & two computers connected via cable to a Linksys WRT54G
router which is connected to a Linksys cable modem. Most of the time
everything is OK but every day or four the router & the cable modem
quit talking. When this happens, unplugging the router for 15 or 20
seconds fixes the problem. Friend wife is getting very tired of the
interruptions & says "If that router isn't working right, get a new
one!"

Before I spend the $$ for a new router, I decided to try upgrading the
firmware on what I have. I went to Linksys.com & downloaded a
firmware upgrade. I was going to do the recommended backup of the
router settings before installing it, but I can't connect to the the
blasted router! As instructed, I tried connecting to
http://192.168.1.1/. I've tried from Seamonkey, Mozilla, & IE7 and
get "Network Timeout" from all.

Is there something I'm missing, or is the router is trying to tell me
that it's tired of life?
