Thanks all for the quick replies.

I tried both RELENG_4 and RELENG_4_6 without results.

I can try the firmware upgrade, but

1. Can I do it without Windows?

2. Since that .zip doesn't come from Linksys (and Linksys doesn't have
anything newer than what I've got), am I going to run into any
compatibility issues?
