Hello all-

I just 'upgraded' my old 54-G to the 160-Nv2...WHEN will I learn to check the boards before buying??  Here's the issue: my trusty 54-G would hold steady @ 54Mbps even with multiple clients; the new 160-N dropped to 36 Mbps (new laptop on the way with an 'N' card), so I went for a firmware upgrade after trying a couple of different orientations without improving the bandwidth. 

The firmware upgrade has been hung on 98% for over a half hour...not wanting to ignore the dire warnings of resetting or rebooting until the process has completed...can anyone offer guidance on how to either force completion or painlessly backtrack out of the upgrade?  (I've searched for simlar posts, no dice) 

Thanks for any ideas!!
