BEFw11S4 and firmware

I have a Linksys BEFW11S4 v2. I can't the flash to hold. I want to
change the default IP address of 192.168.1.1 to 192.158.2.1. The
router won't restart after I make the change.

Is there a way to flash the bios like the Linksys WT54G with DD-WRT?

thanks

Check the list of hardware supported by DD-WRT.

It's a known problem with the BEFW11S4 v2. Search alt.internet
wireless for "BEFW11S4 lost settings". 27 hits.

No.

as for DD-WRT - no support.

I can't find any good link for lost settings. Google as 12000 links.

Follow the link and you'll find just notes, not support.

>as for DD-WRT - no support.

In other words, the same.

>I can't find any good link for lost settings. Google as 12000 links.

What Jeff actually suggested was
<http://groups.google.com/groups?as_q=BEFW11S4+lost+settings&as_ugroup=alt.i nternet.wireless>
29 hits.

p.s. Please don't switch posting styles (top vs bottom) in mid-thread
-- it makes the thread confusing and hard to follow. Thanks.

The BEFSR41 is just an ethernet router. No wireless. It's in the
same "family" of boards as the BEFW11S4, but uses a different chipset.
Won't work.

>as for DD-WRT - no support.

Yep.

>I can't find any good link for lost settings. Google as 12000 links.

See John's posting for the exact URL.

The idea was to teach you how to search a newsgroup *BEFORE* asking.
The trick is to pick the correct buzzwords, which incidentally took me
several tries. You use Google Groups to search usenet news, not the
general Google search of the entire internet.

Start here:
<http://groups.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en>
I suggest you bookmark this page as it's a bit clumsy to navigate to
from the Google home page.

- In the "Group" box, insert "alt.internet.wireless" without the
quotes.
- In the "Find messages with all the words", insert "BEFW11S4 lost
settings" without the quotes.
- Hit "Google Search" button.

I get 28 hits.
