Linksys firmwear update available

At the risk of double posting...(I put this in another thread but really wanted all to be able to see it)

there is now an updated firmwear available... www.linksys.com/downloads   it is v1.00.09

Determine the current firmware version of the wireless router. .
Log into the router's interface  For instructions, 
Download the current firmware from the Linksys website:
From your PC, open an Internet web browser and browse to http://www.linksys.com/download
Enter WRT54G-TM/ Linksys WRTU54G-TM in the Model Number input box.
Click the Go button.
In the Device Version Number section of the page, select the appropriate version of your router from the drop-down box (Version 1.1 for WRTU54G-TM / 1.0 for WRT54G-TM).
In the Firmware section of the page, note the version of firmware available for download.
If the router is already running the latest firmware, do not continue with the upgrade process.
If the firmware available on the Linksys support web site is newer than the firmware on the router, click the Firmware link or the diskette icon to download the latest firmware to the computer's hard drive.
In the router's administrative web site, click the Administration tab.
Click the Firmware Upgrade tab
Click the Browse button, locate the downloaded firmware file on your PC's hard drive, highlight the firmware, and click Open.
Click the Upgrade button.
The router will display progress bars as it upgrades the firmware.
When the router is done, it will show a message indicating Upgrade is Successful.
Click the Continue button.
The router will reboot. Wait two minutes. Click the Refresh button on the web browser to update the view of the router's administrative website.
Verify that firmware has been upgraded by clicking on Status tab, as detailed in step 1.

I was thinking the same thing.  Did you see anything about what this firmware fixes?

it is a patch that prevent the router from reseting and disconecting every day , week , hour in some cases....do the update it will only help

I have been trying to dowload this update for 3 days now.  I dont know what the problwm is but it just wont download.  I get a white box  and it dissapers and nothing happens. The linksys reps told me to go to another computer to get the file. She then told me to call t-mobile to have them help me and i said of coure I work there and dont need help with the router just your site and why the links are not working for me.  I asked her to emial them to me but no cant do that. With that said i have no other computer.  I dont work untill monday so i cant download it then and would like my routher to stop rebooting. Is there anyone who can emai it to me.  Let me know in a pm thanks. 

Are you running Vista.... I am and have been having trouble with the BIN. file...vista wont read it and wants me to go to the internet to find a program the can

also if you are trying to click the link that says firmware,don't .....try to click the icon of the diskette  to the right on that box.....

I just completed the firmware upgrade.  The process went just as advertised.  I am new to @Home and had not experienced the reset/disconnect problem, so I cannot comment on whether this upgrade fixes that problem.

didn't happen to every router just some...I never had a problem I beEn @HOME FOR OVEr A MONTH....NEVER A PROBLEM
