I have a similar model at home.. Looking at the linksys downloads for
this model, there are two versions:
http://www.linksys.com/download/firmware.asp?fwid=183
(version 3)
and
http://www.linksys.com/download/firmware.asp?fwid=3
(no version?)
Both links have the firmware file and also have a "setup wizard" app
which is just a small TFTP client that will allow you to upgrade the
firmware (the *.bin file) without needing the web interface - just make
sure your plugged into the ethernet port and not trying to flash it over
a wireless link of course...
regards,
jamie
