Depends on the manufactor / product if you can backup.
Useulay you can or you can find a previous version of firmware on their
website.

Eitherway, I have put my head down whats concerns updates/firmware.
If you ask support the first thing they say is "did you update the
driver/firmware?".
Some companies refuse to give you support before dooing that...
So...

It is probably a firmware problem, go for it and update it...
Hold your breath for those 1 or 2 minutes firmware update, that the
electricity does not fall out at that moment...
Makes our lives more exiting :-)

Thanks, Erwin,

I've downloaded and installed drivers for D-Link for WinXP.
But I didn't yet download install latest firmware for WRT54G router - I
must say I'm a kind of "paranoid" to update firmware - as far as
understad this process can't be interrupted? If I get it interrupted
then I will get the device completely broken? Or using reset button
(well hidden/protected on back siide) I will be able to restore
(outdated) firmare and then try again to upgrade it?

TIA for additional info,
Shamil
