Linksys WRT160N resetting itself

I have a Linksys WRT160N which, for no apparent reason, keeps
resetting itself so that the SSIN and security settings revert back to
the factory defaults. The firmware is current so I'm not sure what's
going on.

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA,
David

I have a WRT54GL with DD-WRT firmware, that has ONCE done this. SO far not
done it again. Just for info really.

v1 or v2? They're different. I'll assume v2.

1. It's broken and needs to be exchanged for one that works.
2. Bad firmware. Try upgrading to the latest firmware.

3. Hack attack: Did you set a new admin password? Someone might be
playing games with your router. Disable remote administration at:
<http://ui.linksys.com/files/WRT160N/v2/2.0.00/Management.htm>
4. Power glitches. The unity might be sensitive to power line
induced
5. Go to the Administration -> Log page and enable logging. See if
there are any clues in the log files when it resets, especially the
security log. If it's totally blank, then it's likely a reset to
defaults.
6. Check that the reset button isn't defective. It should have a
firm clicking sound.

Also ask in the Linksys Forums:
<http://forums.linksys.com/linksys/board?board.id=Wireless_Routers>
and search for your router model number. I got quite a large number
of hits for "WRT160N reset" (in the advanced search), but nothing
specific to your problem.

It's probably under warranty, so you might consider calling Linksys
support.
