Linksys routers - anyone ever hear bout this?

[alneese]

I have purchased 4 linksys routers in the past 12 months. All of them have at some point stopped forwarding port requests. When I try to re-install the firmware an error is reported back the the file is corrupt.

Anyone ever hear of this problem?

Have you changed the default passwords on them? 4 over a period of time...that's odd to have something like that happen. Is WAN management enabled? Or are people hitting the "reset" button on them?

Is the machine you're doing the firmware upgrade from good and clean from virus's?
