Hi,

Your Linksys BEFW11S4 is an old 802.11b-only router that has a lot of known
issues. It also only supports WEP, which isn't secure.

If it weren't for all the known issues (
http://www.allaboutjake.com/network/linksys/befw11s4/ ), it isn't even worth
it to try to extend it's life by running it as only a wired router.
