These will not work with version 3 routers. To check which version you have, just look under the router. The sticker should say which version number you have (if you have no version number, then its version one)

Get the upgrades <a href='http://www.linksys.com/download/firmware.asp?fwid=3' target='_blank'>here.</a>

<b> Please remember that if you install these to the wrong router version, it could seriously screw it up! Make sure your router is the right version for this patch!</b>

Thanks for reminding me to check this. The newest beta firmware for my wireless router finally supports stuff that I could only get previously using unofficial linux-based 3rd party firmware. QoS (quality of service) controls are a wonderful thing. Now I can let my router know it should give me more bandwidth than the rest of my internet nublet family (tee hee hee)
