Linksys - WRT54GH (Linksys Firmware) Port Forwarding Guide For automatic port forwarding try Simple Port Forwarding. Some routers & modems work best with port forwarding if you have a static local IP. I bought the Linksys WRT54GH WLAN Router today - very small Router. With the stock Firmware it is not possible to use WDS to connect 2 WLAN-Routers - I also didn`t figure out of it`s possible to run it as WLAN Bridge.

Unfortunately, the producer has removed 'Cisco Linksys X3500 Wireless Router Firmware 1.0.00.018' from its servers. However, you can download a newer firmware version compatible with the same router, namely: Linksys X3500 v1.0 Router Firmware 1.0.01.002.A .
Fixes:
- Fixed Ethernet LED issue

About Router Firmware:

Before you consider downloading this firmware, go to the system information page of the router and make sure that the currently installed version isn’t either newer or matching this release.
Due to the large variety of router models and different methods for upgrading the device, it is highly recommended that you read and, above all, understand the installation steps before you apply the new firmware, even if you are a power user.
In theory, these steps shouldn’t be much of a hassle for anyone, because manufacturers try to make them as easy as possible, even if they don’t always succeed. Basically, you must upload the new firmware to the router through its administration page and allow it to upgrade.
If you install a new version, you can expect increased security levels, different vulnerability issues to be resolved, improved overall performance and transfer speeds, enhanced compatibility with other devices, added support for newly developed technologies, as well as several other changes.
If you’re looking for certain safety measures, remember that it would be best if you perform the upload using an Ethernet cable rather than a wireless connection, which can be interrupted easily. Also, make sure you don’t power off the router or use its buttons during the installation, if you wish avoid any malfunctions.
If this firmware meets your current needs, get the desired version and apply it to your router unit; if not, check with our website as often as possible so that you don’t miss the update that will improve your device.

COMPATIBLE WITH:

Windows All

It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.
Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver.
Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.

Hi all, I have a Linksys WRT54GH.
The signal strength is extremely poor. 50% after about 1 metre. Not visible after about 5-6 metres (direct line of sight).
Have tried all standard fixes:
Have updated to the latest firmware, factory reset and power cycled.
There are no other wireless networks appliances or devices that would provide interference.
Have experimented with channels, thresholds, transmit type,
encrypted/open, intervals etc (every option available in standard
firmware).No luck.
All software and drivers are up to date, and relocating the modem does not help.
I've opened the router up and all the internal components look fine. No blown capacitors, scorching or breaks.
I suspect the issue is thus due to the signal transmit strength being
set low, however this is not something I can check using the standard
firmware.
The default transmit stringth is about 17MW +- 1.5 so if it's transmitting properly it should have a lot more range.
Additionally WRT Custom firmware is not an option because the
flash memory is only 2Mb.
On the WRT54G, you can parse a linux kernel command through Ping to
boost signal strength. Programmiersoftware swiss phone programming software online. The same command doesn't work on the WRT54GH
however.
I'd like to know where I can go from here. Cisco forums suggested I post on a 3rd party site which is what I'm doing now.
I don't consider buying a new router to be a 'solution'.
Thanks for your help!
