Just to weigh in with another user's results.
I was given a wired Linksys BEFSR41 Router, v.3; firmware version
1.05.00, by a friend who replaced it with a new ABS.
I don't know how long he had it, but it's been on since he gave to me
over a year ago and it has been trouble free.
I find routers rather complex what with the multitude of items that can
be tinkered with and changed and for others who feel the same way, I
strongly urge you to bookmark the site:
