I flashed my BEFSR41 router with a upgraded firmware # 1.42.3 an would like to put it back to the original version (v1.39) that came with the router. Is it possible to flash the firmware back to the original.

Yes! Just follow the same procedure, but with the earlier firmware release file. You can find all the BEFSR41 firmware releases at ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pub/befsr41/ My recommendation would be 1.40.2. It's just as stable as 1.39.

It's just as stable as 1.39. There was a Posting in this Newsgroup the other day that suggests Firmware 1.40 and above 'phones home' on a regular basis. I asked the Poster if he had definitive proof of that, but he has yet to answer. Have you heard anything definitive on it? I just installed 1.42.3 so is there any compelling reason to downgrade? I don't seem to be having any problems with it. -- Nick Andriash Courtenay, B.C Canada

Thanks for the info. My friend had me flash to v1.42.3. I don't like the look so I want to go back. "Bob Mattas" <bmattas@attbi.com> wrote in message news:wusi8.9773$af7.8072@rwcrnsc53... > Yes!

Nick, I thought that problem affected users running ZoneAlarm in conjunction with the Linksys router, but I could be wrong. I know that 1.42.3 has problems blocking ping and tracert commands, and potentially some other stuff. 1.39.0 worked fine for me.... maybe I should go back to that one, too.

I've looked at the FTP page you cited, but could find nothing on version 1.39 that specified the BEFSR41 4 port Router. The closest I could see was: befsr41-1385.zip befr41-1394a.zip This one seems to point to a different Router. befsr-1-39.zip This is closest, but it doesn't indicate befsr41. -- Nick Andriash Courtenay, B.C Canada

Hi Nick, The 'befsr-1-39.zip is the file you're looking for. BTW, the firmware is common for the BEFSR11, BEFSR41, and BEFSR81. Good Luck!
