Slidell, LA | Cannot connect with 1.37
I upgraded to 1.37 and was unable to connect at all to Bellsouth. (PPoE). Has anyone else experienced this. I went from 1.33.1 (which was the most stable for me so far to 1.37).
Any ideas

A senior level call center manager at Linksys told me last week that they are having issues with bell south. I would call their main phone number and tell them that you want to complain. The guy I talked to was very nice. I have returned two linksys routers to amazon.com for a refund.
I live in Shreveport, so it maybe a Louisiana issue. |

I had the Linksys router running 1.36,upgraded to 1.37 I never could get the thing to connect. I then got a replacement router from Amazon.com it would not connect at all on 1.36, however, if I let the thing timeout on 1.37, then closed the IE5.5, the router would connect.However, the status tab showed disconnected. A finally talked to a Linksys call center manager last week, he admitted that they are having trouble with Bell South. I downloaded Sygate and it works very very well with my pcs. Good luck. |

I upgraded to 1.37.1 and got nothing... couldn't even get at the router config pages. I went back down to 1.37 (jan 2, 2001) and it works fine again. wierd. better luck on the next update I guess.

I'm a little suspicious of the "Bellsouth Problem". It works with an earlier version, so I'm thinking it's really a problem with this version of Linky. I'll stick with 1.35 until the next version comes out. |

I have had no problems with 1.37 (on Verizon). It has actually been a lot more stable for me then 1.36 was. |

Any update on this ? I've been using a BEFSR11 for a couple of weeks now with firmware rev 1.23. I can't get *any* other version to work with Bellsouth *at all*. Even with 1.23 loaded this thing is barely tolerable - the only consolation now is that I only have to reboot the router two and three times a day, instead of my PC. If anyone has been able to get a firmware rev of >1.23 to work, please let me know how you did it!
Thanks,
