pokecody,

Are you able to connect if you bypass the router and connect directly to the modem?

I am not 'pokecody' but have the same problem. Yes, I can connect if I go directly to the modem but not through the router. (Linksys) I did connect and did a firmware upgrade successfully. Was just interested to read your reply.
