Flush the browser cache.
Tools -> Internet Options -> General -> Temporary Internet Files
-> Delete Files -> Check [x] Delete Offline Content -> OK
To be sure, close the browser, and restart it again.

As I vaguely recall, a similar problem with other settings was fixed
in an update of the firmware. You might check the Linksys web pile
for the latest firmware release for the WAG160N.

Looks like: Ver.1.00.12-ETSI (Annex A) is the latest version.

Be sure to do all your admin from a wired ethernet connection, not via
wireless. You can do most (not all) config changes via wireless, but
firmware updates should be done via a wired connection or your risk
"bricking" the router.
