Re: Router problem

Thanks to all who responded last month to my router question. Status
report after a month:

I did a system reset and installed the new firmware version I'd
downloaded from Linksys. Result to date: No instances of router
dropping and needing the 30sec. off/on treatment. Twice I thought I had
a drop, but both times it was Cox who dropped my whole neighborhood.
Case closed. I'm happy.

Be sure that you hold down the reset button until the lights flash to
reset.

Try both 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.1 with the ethernet device plugged
in, and get an automatic DHCP address.

Once you get into it, flash it with this?

or just upgrade it with this first.

You can always reflash it with LinkSys open source software firmware
later if OpenWRT is hated.

Here's the documentation related to how to setup that device from Cisco:

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.

Are you connecting to it from wired or wireless connection? I believe
the default system is to block remote management from wireless
connections.
