Hi

Recently ran into something strange with my Linksys Wireless G router. Essentially, I'm using a DSL connection through Bell Sympatico HiSpeed in Toronto as my carrier.
Problem is that I configure my PPPoE connection to use my username and password from my ISP and I have to re-input my password after every reboot. (Yeah, I'm saving and getting that pretty little 'continue' screen)
Never happened before but it's occurred the last three nights.
No big deal here but can't really expect the wife to go into the Linksys config to have to change this each time when she's on her pc.
Any of you ever experience this???
Thanks
 
Upgrade your firmware. Current version is 1.42.2. You can download this from the Linksys ftp site: ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pub/network/

wrt54g_1.42.2_fw.exe 10/21/2003

 
Just in case that doesn't work, try a factory reset by holding in the button, I've seen stranger issues get resolved this way, but the firmware update should clear it all up.
