GRR.. I have been cursed again by the blessed thing cutting the connection every few seconds - but! there is a cure... well, it's not a cure, it's something thats keeping the bloomin' thing operational....
We've downloaded here the *latest* firmware upgrade and we're keeping that little .bin file on each computer... the next time the router starts its antics (which will be approximately 2 days time) we'll just redo the firmware upgrade through the routers settings display page thingy....
I've since read that there's a fault with some early linksys routers for which the only known cure is flashing the router with the same firware upgrade.
The whole thing takes approx 5 minutes total - I can live with that.
Once it's done - we can do whatever we jolly well like (well, until the next time it'll need doing anyway)
I know we could really do with a new router and yes, it'll probably be either another linksys or maybe a dLink one - depends
We'll tolerate what we've got for now!
