- Download Linksys Setup Wizard Free Downloads - 2000 Shareware periodically updates software information and pricing of Download Linksys Setup Wizard from the publisher, so some information may be slightly out-of-date. You should confirm all information before relying on it.
- The web-based utility has these main tabs: Setup, Wireless, Security, Storage, Access Restrictions, Applications & Gaming, Administration, and Status. Additional tabs will be available after you click one of the main tabs. NOTE: When first installing the Router, you should use the Setup Wizard on the Setup.
- I need to find the setup software for a WAP54G v1.1 access point. I can't find my CD, and there's nothing available for download on the Linksys site for this model. There's software for other versions, but they don't appear to work on my version.

This is actually part of a bigger problem, but I thought I'd go step by step. I'm trying to update the firmware of my Linksys WAP54G access point. But I can't access the set-up page. I've followed all help articles on Linksys' website, but nothing worked.

Case is held together with 4 screws under the rubber feet.
Inside, note grey side wall is attached to the aerial
There is a 3.3v serial header near the front, behind the LED's marked J503
Pinout:
Reflashing
Attach a serial cable and an ethernet cable to the router, connect both to a PC/Linux box with a tftp server in.
Download the generic flash image:http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/10.03.1/brcm63xx/openwrt-96348GW-generic-squashfs-cfe.bin
Note: you can try later versions, but low RAM size on this device may cause trouble
Set the address of the tftp to 192.168.1.100 (static IP), start a terminal on the serial at 115200 8n1
power up the router and hit a key when prompted to interrupt CFE
now enter:
flashimage openwrt-96348GW-generic-squashfs-cfe.bin
to flash the device.
On reboot you can now configure your router through LuCi.
ToDo
There is a JTAG connector next to the serial - pinout unknown.
The device has a button marked “Secure Easy Setup” with a LED behind it. This is currently ignored
Lack of a FOSS driver prevents the ADSL from being used.
