Routers not fully supported in a Mac environment by their manufacturers can
sometimes be FLASHed using MacTFTP Client.

Start the MacTFTP Client application, state the address of the router, which
is usually 192.168.1.1, the router's password, and the name of the .BIN file
to be FLASHed, and go for it.

I obtained MacTFTP Client v.1.1 from:

http://homepage.mac.com/mactechnologies/.cv/mactechnologies/Public/mactftp%2Dc

lient%2D11%2Dppc.sit-binhex.hqx

Obtain the .BIN file from your router manufacturer's FTP site.

Always keep backup copies of your router's old .BIN files as sometimes the
new firmware releases are not fully debugged.
