The upgrade replaces the factory LinkSys firmware with an Open Source Linux base version that provides Power User features you just will not believe. I cannot rave enough about this upgrade.

Ron,

I checked out the router website, but didn't really see how to get the
firmware.
Also, your guide is got me wanting to work on getting this setup on my
little "network". I'm watching a DWL G-122 ver, B1 on ebay, but there
are no drivers that come with it. I've looked on Raylink's site but
didn't see the drivers for the older ver. B. I found some for a 2500 though.
Would I be able to print from my Newton on the Appletalk setup (it's an
HP DJ 6940 with ethernet port). I have been able to use shared printers
with the G3 clamshell. My daughter thought that was neat, as she sat in
her bedroom on the clamshell and printed to the upstairs printer. Thanks
for the post, I've delayed the reply while I was looking at these things
so I could ask some relevant questions.
