    Will I have to input all my data and settings again? Or will it keep it? I have a linksys model wrt54g router version 3.

    I believe you can flash the firmware and not worry about you settings, it's been a while since I last upgraded firmware on my linksys. You should should take print screen shots of all the settings so you have them, just in case I am wrong. :eek:
