Linksys router help

[xhomewreckerx]

Okay, everything works fine until I try and set up port forwarding. When I do this, I get an intermittent connection.


Linksys tech support has no clue how to fix this, so I'm hoping someone here does.


It's got to be the new firmware, because I had an older model of this same exact router and I was able to do it no problem.

Can you download the old firmware?

[xhomewreckerx]

I'd like to try that, but I'm not sure how.

[arson714]

If you give me the model of your router and the current firmware I will go look for older firmware and I'll post you a direct link.

Wow, a tech at linksys is actually helping me! I'm shocked, but I really hope this works. Do you think that it might??

Choose the one that you don't currently have, if that doesn't work reset the router back to defaults i guess

I've reset it a thousand times. They have it set up so you can't downgrade apparently.

gotta love linksys

sorry..I have no idea then...sounds like you need a new router

[xhomewreckerx]

This is a brand new router, I just bought it less than a month ago. And it's been doing the same thing since day one. I've been trying to deal with it since then, but I can't anymore

Buy a netgear or a dlink router...don't waste your money on a linksys they are horrible

What am I supposed to do with this one? It's well passed the return date. And I don't have the receipt anymore.

Shoot it, throw it out the window of your car, kick it....you may even be able to do all 3
