[MACEP] A puzzle for the day

[Jim Hendrie]

Hello,

I¹ve recently experienced issues with a linksys wireless router randomly
working and displaying connection issues. We solved the problem by going to
the linksys website, downloading and installing a firmware update for the
router. Everything has worked fine after the update. If your router isn¹t
the linksys brand it may still be worth looking into a firmware update.
