I no longer have the software for my router and it is now back to default settings. Can anyone tell me how to get my router working again without this software. I cannot seem to be able to download the software from the net but just firmware to update it...I'll buy anyone a few pints if you can help :beerglass:

Heres the Easylink software you need mate. Just run it and follow the instructions and you will be fine.

That's a good question. Wondering the same thing myself.

I installed the PGM I found here on my Vista machine. Itdid say the wireless connection failed when disconnecting the LAN cable but then it did connect.

Saving the security key saved my butt cuz I needed to manually configure other machines and also temporarily disabled my firewall.

Walah! Thanks to the uploader.

Anyone know how to manually retrieve the security key ??

Cheers.

WPA psk, that way it is more secure and lets you set your own key in plain language and not hex.


does this work?

Yes it works.

Theres a wee button on the back of it, its like a pinhole, stick a pen nib in it and hold it in for about 30 seconds and it will reset it to factory settings. (I found it was more like 10 seconds though)

Same deal for me. Lost install CD. I'd appreciate it if anyone could provide me with it. Thanks in advance.

Well if you are really interested in it and not just posting so you can get to the downloads then you will find it in the 2nd link but I guess it is too much to ask people to read the whole thread.

Actually Jaffa, I did read the entire thread. However the .rar file wouldn't download for me. I'm sorry if I've offended you in some way, as your assumptive comments seem to indicate. If you're that offended, might I suggest you build a bridge and 'get over it'. If comments such as yours are representative of most found on this forum, I'll leave it alone and let you continue to post your predictably snide comments from your mother's basement. Thank you for the mild amusement. It's been surreal.

WOW easy tiger...He wasnt meaning it m8 the way it sounded and I am pretty sure when hes back online will say so...Just you get people wanting everything yesterday and cant be arsed looking,hence the reason he said that...Think theres like a time limit from when you join/amount of posts etc before you are able to download from here...Anyway stick around,am sure you will like it m8:)

You never offended me, I dont give a rats arse if you come and post once and take all the files you want, its the fact you try to cover up that you are here to leech and nothing else. Do you really think I care what you think of my attitude, you wont be here after you get the fix for cable. I am glad you were able to figure out that you needed one post and to allow the forum to update (thats the reason it wouldnt download for you, but if you had bothered to read the email you got when you registered then you would have realised that). Don't be trying to disguise the fact that you may have stuck around the forum but for my comments...you came and I am sure you got what you wanted, you had no intention of staying.

Enjoy your free tv, see you again next time they hit the boxes. :ciao:

Hi, new member looking for the same thing, not sure why this isn't easier to find than here, so thanks much for making it available.

Upon further searching I have found the Linksys link http://update.linksys.com/lela/install/lela.exe

Much larger file but it appears a lot of people are looking for. Hopefully this is allowed to remain available to others as well.

It was a real biatch trying to download this linksys file this gay website makes you register before doing anything.

Well you could not find it anywhere else for free and it was so hard to sign up to get this free software that our members have taken the time to find and store here for users like you..

Take a permanently holiday...

You need to wait 10 mins for the server to update before you can d/load.
As stated in your welcome email and introduction.

EDIT: You can find the sofware here>>>>http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/f20/linksys-wrt54g-v8-lost-software-9552/index3.html

When your d/load is downloading why not make a introduction here and say thank you to this site for helping you out.Introduce Yourself (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/f2/)

You can also try this custom firmware that works on almost all linksys devices:
