New Linksys Cable/DSL Router firmware available

[Mattster]

Linksys has posted v1.36 on their website. Here is a listing of the changes:

1.36 Updated help file
Enables PPTP, and IPSec by default

Not much of an upgrade, but might as well stay current

Hell if it fixes the constant dropping of my dsl connection, I'll upgrade...

Thanks Mattster for the heads up!

NOSOUP4U, you get that too?

 

[NOSOUP4U]

Yes I get drops all the time. The new firmware doesn't solve it

I used to have a connection dropping problem, but the 1.35 firmware fixed it. It would happen when I started multiple ftp downloads or loaded web pages with lots of large images. Now I only have the occasional problem with the router crashing and not responding, which has only happened twice, I think. What ISP do you use?

I'm with @Home.

I think I've upgraded every firmware that has come out and the problem is still there.

Actually, I think the only firmware version that didn't have that problem was the one that came with the router but I needed ip forwarding.

Basically, this router (BEFSR41) is suk.

I had one that kept losing the isp setting. Then one day it just crashed totally. Exchanged that for another at the B&M. The new one won't find the isp at all -- help says to keep recycling modem and router until isp is found. Yeah sure, that's all I have to do.

I'm using Road Runner in Tampabay area, but it's the router that's no good.

Firmware was 1.30 out of the box. I upgraded to 1.36. No help.
