How can I be notified of new Router firmware upgrades?
All Linksys firmware upgrades are posted on the
Linksys website at www.linksys.com, where they can

upgraded using the Web-based Utility. If the Router's
Internet connection is working well, there is no need
to download a newer firmware version, unless that
version contains new features that you would like to use.
Downloading a more current version of Router firmware
will not enhance the quality or speed of your Internet
connection, and may disrupt your current connection
stability.

Yes, but the Router's setup pages are accessible only
through Internet Explorer 5.0 or Netscape Navigator 5.0 or

Router. What can I do?
You may have to remove the proxy settings on your
Internet browser, e.g., Netscape Navigator or Internet
Explorer. Or remove the dial-up settings on your browser.
Check with your browser documentation, and make sure
that your browser is set to connect directly and that any
dial-up is disabled. Make sure that your browser is set
to connect directly and that any dial-up is disabled. For
Internet Explorer, click Tools, Internet Options, and then
the Connection tab. Make sure that Internet Explorer is

click Edit, Preferences, Advanced, and Proxy. Make sure
that Netscape Navigator is set to Direct connection to the
