1.44.2 is the latest for v1 hardware. Look on the serial number tag
and see if it shows a hardware version number. It probably shows

always hanging and crashing. I gave up and switched to a WRT54GS v4
and lived happily ever after.

Build a reflector out of cardboard and aluminium foil. Works very
nicely.
