I am attempting to re-configure this router (having previously configured it using the disc that came with it before moving to a new house & having to unplug everything prior to the move & updating from OS X 10.7 to OS X 10.8). Now, when I insert the disc into the Superdrive of my Macbook Pro and attempt to run the original setup program, nothing happens. I have cleared all the browser caches, searched for any traces of the Linksys software on my HD, purged all related programs & installed the latest Java software. When I download the latest software from the Linksys website and try running it using an ethernet connection to the router, I get a message saying it isn't compatible with OSX 10.8. So I try the "Update" on their website instead. But, every time it gets to about the 80% markt, the installation fails and I get an error message saying that I should contact Linksys Support. However, when I contact them, they tell me that they no longer support this model and if I want to obtain support for it, I have to contact a third-party for billable support. I am currently using my ISP's Sagecom F@ST 2864 modem/accesspoint for my laptop, my iPad & iPhone 5, 3 printers and my wife's iMac (all connected wirelessly. However, I've read that the Linksys E4200 V2 wireless router will outperform my ISP's modem/accesspoint and would like to start using it again (previously, I was using the Linksys in conjunction with a lower-performance modem/access point from the same ISP).
Since I would prefer not to have to pay for support to configure the Linksys, I am hoping that someone on this forum might be willing to provide me with clear, concise, step-by-step instructions on what, where & why the Linksys update is getting stuck and how I might get past it.
