Download Firmware Linksys WRT54G Firmware 1.02.1

Linksys has released new firmware for its WRT54G broadband router. The download is numbered 1.02.1. In the package we find a lot of bug fixes and improvements. However, there are also a number of bugs that have not been fixed yet:

BUG FIXED:

• Incorporates updates found in the Draft IEEE 802.11g version 6.1 specification.
• Resolves interoperability and backward compatibility issues with legacy 802.11b devices under Mixed Mode.
• Fixed a performance bug where the performance in a mixed b, g network did not go up once the last b client disassociated.
• No WEP enabled performance degradation.
• TZO DDNS Service: WRT54G did not use the correct port number 21340 to establish TCP socket connections or use port number 21347 to connect the TZO server.
• “Domain Name” replaces “name”.
• TFTP server will only verify image file name “xxxx.bin”.
• MAC Address Filter under the Advanced tab works on both wired and wireless clients.
• Fixed a bug that prevented wireless clients from connecting to the Internet if there was no active wired PC (PPoE customers in Europe and China only).
• Support for UPnP enabled applications such as MSN Messenger.
• Fixed a bug that caused computers connected to the “wired” ports to be dropped at some interval only to be immediately re-connected.
• Fixed Dynamic Routing issue between 2 Routers.

ENHANCEMENTS:

• Newly revised User Guide, Quick Install, and Help File.
• User can name the Static Route Configuration.
• Modified PC List Web Page to avoid confusion.
• Significant performance improvements.
• Stabilized Wireless-G to LAN and WAN Throughput.
• Stabilized Wireless-B to LAN and WAN Throughput.
• Improved LAN-WAN Throughput.

CAVEATS:

• Every configuration change results in an immediate quick mini-reboot of the unit after the �APPLY� button is selected.
• The throughput of the draft-11g WLAN will drop when 802.11b client comes into range and associates with your access point or wireless router.
