Router’s running fine for 3 years…any reason to upgrade firmware?
I have a Linksys Wireless Router with Speed Booster WRT54GS that I bought in the Summer 2005. The manual said, in essence, “if it works, don’t upgrade the firmware.” It works just fine. It’s their product, but, am I missing any possible security patches or such by not doing this? Perhaps I’m not grasping the concept of what an actual firmware update does?
All comments and advice appreciated.
If it’s broke don’t fix it is usually a good idea however the reason firmware is updated on routers is primarily for security. Hackers are everywhere wanting into your network. It may not be a bad idea a secure network is a happy network!
