Linksys WAG54G Firmware

I've got a Linksys WAG54G V2 Router.

I've got a problem with configuration so thought I may update the firmware.

The US site shows no firmware available for this model but
www-uk.linksys.com refers to Annex A and seems to allow a download for
Annex A or B at http://tinyurl.com/3xecte

I've got no idea which I need, anyone got an idea please.

Look at the "Download version info. for this firmware" link further
down the page.

It seems to define Annex B models as 'E1 and DE' which may mean
something to you.

Haven't a clue what that refers to :-(

Anything on the serial number label?

If you check the version info, on that page, it says that the Annex A is
English only firmware.
It is also available from ftp://ftp.linksys.com/international/firmware/
I have an original WAG54G and tend to use this site.

Wasn't 100% sure of the grammar in the explanation when I first read it,
I felt initially that the comma might have been meaning the earlier
versions which were English only firmware.

On rereading it now makes more sense.

I'll bookmark that on my ftp proggie, thanks.

Nothing obvious except a small sticker that has QC OK, the serial number
doesn't have E1 or DE anywhere in the numbers.

I had the same problem and eventually figured it out, but I don't remember
how - but the file you want is WAG54G v2-UK V 1.01.15, and I'm fairly sure
that's the A version.

Yes, used that one in the end and now the route is working fine though
strangely I had to alter the default channel, for some reason 11 was
very weak but tried 7 and 4 and now fine.

Thanks for all the advice everyone.
