Since buying a windows 7 PC, my WRT54G V6 is dropping connection a lot more than it should (1/hr). Because of this i thought to update the firmware. I have downloaded the new .bin and accessed 192.168.1.1, but when i try to move to the ADMINISTRATION page all i get is ascii chars and no admin page, the only pages that actually work are the basic setup and DDNS setup. For info i'm currently running Firmware Version: v1.00.9
Asked for help online and got as far as downloading Tftp,0, but that onlyworks to the point where it tells me ''unable to get responses from the servers'' can anyone help or do i just get a new router ??? Thanks in advance, les

Thanks for the advice. Was using the wired Pc to perform the upgrade. Have put the wireless laptop (on XP) in place of the wireless pc (on W7) and got the same results. Reset the router and during setup received an error stating that there was an error in it's language pack. The setup continued and the router is working but i still have the same problems with 192.186.1.1 and Tftp,0 Think the issue is with the routers existing firmware ???? R, les

Try to upgrade the router's firmware using TFTP utility..Download the TFTP utility and save it on the desktop.Also Download the firmware for WRT54G v6 and save it on the desktop. Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Double click the TFTP.exe file and click run.
For Server- Enter the IP Address of the router that you assigned. By default, the router is 192.168.1.1...
For Password- Enter the password you assigned the router. By default, the router’s password is “admin”.
For File- Click the triple “…” button and browse for the .bin firmware file...
Click Upgrade button to start upgrading. A progress bar should show up to show the progress.
Once the Upgrade is done press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router... **Make sure your modem is connected to the router on internet port and the computer on the ethernet port of the router while you run the TFTP program.
