Wierdo is right I suspect. Goto linksys site, find the support files, track to your router, download and follow the instructions.

ditto on the firmware... older rev. linksys firmware had problems with streams of medium to large packet sizes (anything over 600-bytes really)... among other things....

I found this TechTV Link that explains how to upload the firmware. You can also do a google search and you'll come up with a bunch of sites explaining how to do it.

Make sure you document all of your settings (whether you think it's important or not). I've heard horror stories of the firmware upgrade wiping out the settings....

Good luck
