router problems
well im having trouble with my router after i updated the firmware on it, and it keeps resetting the connection every 20-60 seconds or completely stopping the connection. it does it the most when im downloading torrents, and even if i open a port i still get the not-connectable error message. it worked fine till i updated it. Is there a way to downgrade it back to the original version?
My router's a Linksys BEFSR41v4 |

Cables could be damaged or broken... but to know if that's the case, it should be tested. From your story, it looks more like a software problem.
What was the original firmware version when it still worked? It's very likely that some site has a copy for download. By the way, Linksys will stop soon. Cisco is gonna sell their hardware for the end-user market under it's own Cisco brand. |

That is a funny thing about firmware. Firmware updates your router to fix any bugs that have come up to ensure overall security and stability. At the same time, however, some firmware can cause your device to become the perfect doorstop.

yeah but i think the firmware had already been out for a while and i saw no questions on the help forums about the firmware messing up the other peoples routers. maybe it was just me. i always have bad luck with technology
ok i edited this to say that that firmware was... corrupt. it worked for a couple days then it brokethe router, so it took me 6 hours and a day not being able to play my 360 to figure out what was wrong with it. so i had to assign a static iip address to my computer then upgrade back up to the new firmware, and now im having the same problems... again Last edited by matt4212; 2007-08-15 at 00:29.
