Help with router firmware upgrade

[Rulke]

Hello,

So I want to/need to upgrade my router firmware. I have a Linksys Wireless-G router thats at least 5 years old. Anyway, the router wants me to pick a file to upgrade, I am not sure what it means... What am I looking for?

Go to Linksys's website and track down your model.

Download the firmware associated with your router.

Place file in an easy to find place.

When asked to pick a file, find this file.

Some models of the WRT54GS are supported by Tomato, which I personally like very much.

Read the FAQ to prevent possible brickage by flashing this fw on an unsupported model: http://www.polarcloud.com/tomatofaq#...ll_this_run_on

Thanks everyone, that did the trick! It never occured to me that I had to DL a file that the routher could find locally, I supposed it would search the net for it itself.
