Re: [Wired] WRT610N v1 If you have two APs in your home, both running on the same channel, then they are going to interfere with each other. You need to use a different channel for each AP. There are 11 available channels, but only three do not overlap - 1, 6, and 11. By default, I believe that they are set to use Channel 1. So, change the other AP to Channel 6 or 11. Actually, if you have one AP running at either end (either Channel 1 OR Channel 11), then the second can run on any channel that's Channel 6 or past (6-11 if one AP is on Channel 1; 1-6 if one AP is on Channel 11).
I had two wireless routers set up in my home for awhile - my old 2Wire router (from ATT UVerse), and my new WRT610N. They ran on different channels as I describe above, and there were no problems at all. I ran it this way for about 45 days, until I cut everything over from UVerse to my new provider.
Also, you should use your PC to look for available wireless networks and see what channels your neighbors are using. If there is a strong signal from a neighbor, and it's using the same channel that you're using, you may experience random problems due to interference.
I purchased my WRT610N and immediately upgraded the code to the latest version. The code that was on it was over a year old. I have had zero problems with the unit. I only use it as a wireless AP, and use a Cisco ASA5505 as my firewall to the Internet.

| There is another Linksys firmware update for the WRT610N.
1.00.03.B15 July 28, 2009
Also, when you go to download firmware, you are now prompted for a version of WRT610N, with both Version 1 and Version 2 showing up.
So, apparently there have been some hardware changes made recently.
Hope this helps.
