Linksys firmware woes

Hi all,

I have the Linksys WAG54GS Gateway.

I'm experiencing wireless problems with my XBOX360 and thought I would try and download some firmware from the site.

After selecting my product version, it gives me a link to download verson 1.00.12, to which the version currently installed is .06.

The router tells me that it isn't a valid file for the upgrade (.img file) and to redownload the correct one.

support is crap, they say I should have a model version on my router which I do not have. It just says WAG54GS, not rev1 or anything else like that.

Any ideas? This is really starting to get on my wick now. If I fail in solving this problem then I will seriously take a hammer to this lump of tacky crap.

If it says it isn't valid, there isn't much you can do about it.

What wireless problems are you having?

The xbox360 keeps disconnecting randomly.

Tried moving it closer to the xbox, it's about 5 foot away now. I'm no good with wireless as haven't used it much before as I'm the only family member with a PC.

Tried different encryption methods, added the XBOX360 wireless adapters mac code to the allowed client table. Anything else?

Use a wire and see if it's the same, and/or try the xbox with another wireless device (friend's router, another wireless dongle in AP mode, whatever)?
