Tried to use the web based control panel to update the firmware. Never seemed to finish and now the wireless aspect of the router doesn't work. Hardwired computers are fine. The Dia. light remains on at all times. Got an RMA from Linksys, but they need a proof of purchase with to send it back and I have had no luck finding my receipt.

I have yet to try updating the firmware from a PC and was wondering if I may be able to do this through Virtual PC?
Michael: Hasn't everything been sort of discovered now by like Magellan and Cortez?

Buster: Oh, yeah yeah, those guys did a pretty good job.

Isn't it just through a web browser? Then yes, you can use a PC.

there have been continuous problems for some in using the web browser to update the firmware on these Linksys WAP/Routers.

You can try updating via the program MacTFTP, which has worked for me in the past. There may be a mention of it in the ReadMe of the firmware update, and you can find MacTFTP on Versiontracker.

best of luck!
