How to open linksys firmware update on Imac?

Q. I just went to the linksys webpage and updated the firmware to 1.02.5 but the file never opened and said choose an application to open it. What would I used to open this file on an imac and set it up?

A. Don't open it just click cancel. Then go to 192.168.1.1 or what ever your router's ip is. Then log in, the default password is usually admin for name and a blank password or reverse it blank name and admin for the password. On the most common router, the WRT54G you click on administration on the top and then firmware upgrade. Then click choose file and click on the unopened .bin file. DO NOT uncompressed the .bin file it must be the original compressed .bin file or you could ruin the router!.


How do i update my linksys firmware and install it?
Q. I have a linksys wireless router and the disc somehow ended up cracked. Ive called linksys but in order to do anything they need me to plug in the router, and i cant because everytime i do, the phone line drops. I dont have another phone to call from and im lost. The router is like 2 years old and never used so i know the firmware needs updated for it to work, but i also need the software and i cant find that at all. Ive downloaded the firmware but i dont know what to do with it.
wrt54g is model. The woman i talked to told me that i needed to update the firmware but she couldnt help me do it because my phone line drops. Its a DSL connection, and it already has another modem on it, so i know the connection is good. i have the filters on and everything, so i dont know why the line is dropping either.

A. You need to log into your router from your computer and look for something related to firmware upgrade. Most of the time, you just tell the router where you saved the new firmware file on your computer and click a button and it's done.
