    Mine is newer than that, it must be 1.50.(something)


    That firmware 1.30.05 was only released by Linksys last month

    It is possible that blueface renamed the firmware they gave you and it is the same one

    Firmware Version: 1.30.05
    Was on my new WRT54GP2 as delivered by pixmania yesterday....

    Very happy so far!

    Have my clearwire on the Wan Port and Voipstunt and Blueface connected to the VoIP ports... With the g729 Codec the VoIP quality is quite passable...

    I'd advise against installing a firmware intended for a "foreign" router. Might install ok, but would you want to risk it and end up bricking the router?

    Unless you're experiencing problems that can be attributed to a poor firmware, best not to update

    That's not an argument, it's my opinion/advice.

    Updating the firmware of any device has it's risks. So unless there is a pressing need to do it, I'd stick to the "if it ain't broke, don't fix" way of thinking.

    tbh i can't be bothered reading this thread to see if the person found a site with the linksys router, but i think www.expansys.ie do them.

    We all know that there are risks involved in firmware updates.

    Gateway was looking for one I pointed him to it and you advised him not to use it as it was "Foreign" that advice was wrong as there is no problem (other than the normal risk associated with any firmware update) with using the firmware I linked to.

    I understand your general point about using firmware not officially meant for your device but in this case I researched it before upgrading it is fine as I explained Vonage support the linksys in this neck of the woods so if you need a Non vonage upgrade the Australian version is fine.
