Linksys Router Issues

[ps2mint]

Hi there

Router seems to have reverted to default settings - wireless network now called Linksys, and no longer secure.

Logged into http://192.168.1.1. but the page doesn't fully load - comes up as an incomplete webpage - impossible to make anything out.

As can't get into the settings page, i'm having trouble securing the network.

Any ideas how i can sort this issue out - apparently need to upgrade firmware - prob is, when go on linksys website, the file downloads as a .bin file - computer does not know what program to open it with.

Help much appreciated - thanks!

you trying to access it via wireless or wired?

[ps2mint]

wired

you upload the bin fil to the router via the web interface and flash it fromthere, im not sure how you are doing it at the moment

have you done a full reset/reboot of the router?

[ps2mint]

yep, done reset of router

Sorry to sound bit dumb, but how do you upload it to router?

Ok, there's a section within the control panel of the router that you need to access in order to be able to upload the file.....as you can't access the control panel properly though.....

I think your problem is more likely to be local, in other words I think your browser is screwing things up.

I would suggest that you look carefully at any pop-up blocking software that you have installed/enabled and that you look at your browser settings to make sure that it's not blocking any specific scripts/content.

the router has a management area where you can flash the firmware, you select the bin file and then it flashes it with the file

something sounds not right if it isnt displaying correctly via a wired connection, what browser?
