Re: [wired] BEFSX41 Firmware 1.51.00 - POST YOUR R
Yep, the long URL thingy is present in 1.51.00  . As for older firmware version, you can always look at this URL  .

hananz, I don't think your problem is related to MTU unless you are using any kind of VPN software. Perhaps related to DNS. Since you are using static IP assignment on your LAN side, you must manage yourself the default gateway and DNS server yourself. The default gateway must be the LAN IP address of your BEFSX41. However, the DNS server must the the one supplied to you by your ISP. Using any other DNS server on your PCs could very lead to long delay during host name resolution.
If you have already setup the PC's DNS server to your ISP's DNS server, then I guess we should keep looking. However, if you have assigned any different values, would you mind trying the above and report your findings. In general, you can get the DNS server information provided by your ISP on their web site. However, you can also look at the BEFSX41 "Status" tab in the router's configuration web page and whatever DNS server was acquired by the router could be manually applied on each of your PC. Don't forget to reboot your PC once you change their DNS server. |

Are you on cable or DSL? Do your PCs on the LAN side using static IP or DHCP?
i'm using cables but i'm from Israel and it might be different
from cables in USA i have seen that in 1.5.18 i wasn't able
to browse at all (MTU problem i guess)
on the LAN side i use static ip |

PARC, the feature you are looking for already sort of exist! If you hit on the "Apply Settings" button from the "Setup/Basic Setup" tab, even without changing anything, the router will soft reboot itself. Actually, most of the "Apply Settings" buttons throughout the whole GUI cause a soft reboot. Only a few will not exhibit this behavior. I'd say the challenge is not how to soft reboot the router but rather how to keep it up without it reboots itself .
Nonetheless, try the above suggestion to soft reboot the router and see if it's doing what you want. Let me know what's missing and if it makes sense, I'll report it to Linksys presto pronto . |

Hi sir Flogator!
By any chance can you request linksys to add some features for the new firmware? I'm thinking of a router reset that is controlable in the web accesss, this is totally different from the Restore Factory Defaults.
This very useful when your router is far from you. IMHO.
Thanks!

Hi, I decided to sick with 1.50.18, and since I heard that the router reboots/crashes with some URLs do not occurr at the first attempt, I decided to test them hard. I repeatedly check the previous long URL posted by Flogator, and the 3 ones just posted, by using several methods: the plain old single click, "open in new window", shift refresh, cleared cache, all several times (dozens).
I am NOT able to get one single router crash or reset. All URLs always open quickly and flawlessly. My config is completely posted in the other thread about 1.50.18, if anyone needs to check it. |

kirk1233, your observation about disabling logging makes total sense to me. My theory about this issue is when the router is constructing the log entry, if the URL string is too long, it would trample over other portion of memory. If you disable logging, the router will not attempt to construct the log entry thus will not crash. I have already shared my theory with Linksys and provided lots of information about it. We'll see what Linksys will do with that information I provided them .
Thanks for your observation. It looks like my theory makes sense. Mind you, I cannot live without logging so Linksys got to fix this problem. |

Nerdtalker:
Long reset is performed by holding reset button in for 30 seconds. I have found in practice that at around 15 to 20 seconds the router seems to reset so don't know the reason for holding a full 30 seconds but that is what Linksys suggests. |

Using 1.50.18 I accessed in sequence each of the posted long URLs 3 times each with no router reboots.
I second this. My router didn't reboot using 1.50.18, and it doesn't do it with 1.51. I am not using the "Firewall Protection" feature, if that makes any difference. |

tracert works fine
in grc and pcflank every port is stealth mode (113 included)
