I'm trying to talk a friend through this EXACT same issue this evening, and was hoping to find him an answer here as well. Anyone know what's up with this?

I had the same problem with my linksys (same model as yours) so i called the tech number that came with the instructions, and the guy was very helpful, took me to thier website, did some clicks here and there, said there was a new firmware update for the router that i needed, so i downloaded it and installed it, and he said he had to reset the DNS on his end to allow it to work with the iphone, after that its been working great without a hitch. Hope this helps.

Do you have mac filtering enabled on your router?

Try resettting your router's passphrase - means you'd have to re-do it on your laptop etc., but it's a quick yes / no on a fix - and I've seen this work quite a lot after an iPhone restore / update ...

I have the same router, current firmware. Thus far, no issues to report here.

OK, this is weird. We tried to update his firmware, and we both tried to download the file from Linksys.com. The file is downloaded as a .bin file, and the manual says to un-archive the file using WinZip. Well, on the PC, Winzip can't open the file, so I got it on my mac, and I get the exact same thing. I can't decompress this file. Any ideas?

The .bin file is the final file. What you need to do is go into the router console and then go to the firmware tab and tell it to update and point it to that bin file.

Thank you much. I thought we were both going crazy!
