[TriLUG] Linksys long in the tooth?

[Craig Taylor]

My WRT54G (v6 blech) with the default firmware had to be reset
frequently for the wireless to work. Out of desperation I tried the
latest firmware update and it seems to have resolved the problem... 


I'm not sure if the linksys hardware is bad - but their qa on the
firmware may be...
