HI,
I recently bought a couple of 2610 routers on ebay and found that they only have 8MB of flash. I want to upgrade the flash and searched ebay for flash. I found one that said that it would work only with bootstrap version 12 or above. The routers I have do not meet that requirement and I was hoping someone could tell how the bootstrap can be upgraded (if it can be) and what file is used to upgrade it. Thanks in advance for the help.
