Linksys LRT224 Router Firmware 1.0.4.03

Enhancements:

- A new flavor of outbound load balancing namely “Sticky Balance” is added to the System Management Multi-WAN page. The feature (applicable to LRT224 only) will direct packets with the same source IP, destination IP, and specified TCP/UDP port (e.g. port 443) to the same WAN interface. 

Issues Fixed:

- The key length of SSL certificate was increased from 512 to 2048 bits to address some issues with browsers not able to connect to the Web admin interface.
- Fixed an issue with DHCP class_id option, which caused certain DHCP clients not able to get an IP address.
- Removed log messages “KERNEL: assertion (flags & MSG_PEEK) failed at …”
- Fixed an issue with setting daylight savings time in Australia.

About Router Firmware:

Before you consider downloading this firmware, go to the system information page of the router and make sure that the currently installed version isn’t either newer or matching this release.

Due to the large variety of router models and different methods for upgrading the device, it is highly recommended that you read and, above all, understand the installation steps before you apply the new firmware, even if you are a power user.

In theory, these steps shouldn’t be much of a hassle for anyone, because manufacturers try to make them as easy as possible, even if they don’t always succeed. Basically, you must upload the new firmware to the router through its administration page and allow it to upgrade.

If you install a new version, you can expect increased security levels, different vulnerability issues to be resolved, improved overall performance and transfer speeds, enhanced compatibility with other devices, added support for newly developed technologies, as well as several other changes.

If you’re looking for certain safety measures, remember that it would be best if you perform the upload using an Ethernet cable rather than a wireless connection, which can be interrupted easily. Also, make sure you don’t power off the router or use its buttons during the installation, if you wish avoid any malfunctions.

If this firmware meets your current needs, get the desired version and apply it to your router unit; if not, check with our website as often as possible so that you don’t miss the update that will improve your device.
