Re: BEFSX41 Firmware 1.52.3 - POST YOUR RESULTS HE

In general, BEFSX41 firmware 1.52.3 has fixed a numerous bugs . However, it also did introduced new ones . Some users even experience router lockup or DSL problems. For those reasons, I have recommended Linksys not to release this firmware and wait until the next beta. However, Linksys might decided to do otherwise. Thereof, I am sharing with you the deltas I have experiences myself between 1.51.00 and 1.52.3.
