Upgrading the firmware of the router will improve its performance. You will only update the firmware of the router if you have problems with it as the firmware updates only addresses fixes on some issues of the router. But if you're okay with the performance of the router, there's no need to upgrade its firmware.
The only risk in updating the firmware of the router is, if you will update it with the wrong firmware version. So if you will upgrade the firmware of the router, be sure to install the correct firmware for it.
Since you have BEFW11S4 v4 with firmware version 1.45.3 (Jul 1, 2003), I recommend that you update it first with later firmware version than the latest one which is 1.50. You may click on this link to download firmware version 1.50 for BEFW11S4 v4.

After installing the firmware version 1.50, you may already install the latest firmware version of the router which is 1.52.02. |
