said by aefstoggaflm:#1 Did you update the firmware on the Linksys?
Yes, I updated to the latest version of the firmware as soon as I had set it up and wasn't happy with the performance. I think the version was 2.1.9something.
#2 Was this Linksys using cloud firmware?
I used the firmware that came with the router. Not sure whether that was cloud firmware.
#3 Did you load third party firmware on this Linksys?
No, I am not that advanced yet. And on the cheapo one i have now I do not even think I can.
For example of two of them that exist are DD-WRT and Tomato. Please note I am not saying that your Linksys supports third party firmware.
Since I do not have it anymore I can't try this. I guess that is one of the downsides to getting something as cheap as what I got: No third party firmware options, and few or no firmware updates. We'll see.
