[P1] Panther & AirPort & Router problem

[B G]

I think you will have to do a hard reset,

There is a reset button on it. Shut off the power then
press and hold the button while turning the power back
on and continue to hold for 5 sec's that will reset it
to factory defaults. accees it thru browser use the ip
192.168.1.1 no login name, password will be admin


As to the other problem you might try upgrading the
firmware. This is where the no Mac support comes into
play. The firmware upgrade are all PC based. There
where some Mac hacks that are not supported by
Linksys, I don't know if there is an OS X version.

If you do upgrade the firmware it might be easiest to
borrow a PC laptop and use that. Thats what I did.

Hope this helps
