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 :-) Erwin -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Shamil Salakhetdinov Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2004 1:27 PM To: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Linksys WRT54G and D-Link DWL-520+incompatibilitypuzlle... <<< I'm so paranoid/experianced since a year or 4 that I never install the drivers included in the box.

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 Or using reset button (well hidden/protected on back siide) I will be able to restore (outdated) firmare and then try again to upgrade it?
