The LinkSys WRT54G is a ubiquitous router. In fact, I have one at home and two at the office. The one at home works fine but the same can’t be said for the two at the office. Every once in a while, you can’t connect to the WiFi network and you have to reboot. And often, you can’t access the web based administration console at all. Normally, the solution would be to upgrade the firmware. But if you have a WRT54G version 7, which is the case, you’re out of luck: LinkSys also does not provide firmware updates for this version. Or so I thought. So it was pretty hopeless for a while. But this morning, I learned that apparently LinkSys provides firmware upgrades for Europe. You can get it here. We’ve upgraded the routers at the office and everything is going smoothly so far.
UPDATE: It didn’t change anything. Darn!
