How to Upgrade Linksys Firmware

Why Should You Upgrade LinkSys Firmware?
Firmware upgrades are quite common for computer devices. Many times upgrading firmware adds enhancements to a device, such as an added feature in a cell phone or the ability to decode specific types of files in an MP3 player. Many times a new version of firmware is available for upgrade to fix bugs or to add security measures. For instance, if a security flaw has been found in a router, a new version of firmware might be available in order to reduce the risk that the security flaw will be exploited.

    [..YouTube..] Thanks for this, I did everything in your tutorial but when I went to upload the file, I kept getting some error message, so I had to go to my desktop, click on the file I downloaded from the Linksys support website, and I had to drag the file out of the ‘bin’ or whatever you want to call that page, and put it on the desktop. That was the file I needed to use… finally figured it out.
