With that old firmware, you'll have to use Internet Explorer specifically to update the firmware - it's a large jump too so there's a risk the router won't boot after the update.
What I recommend is to take a backup of the config file and reflash using the .rst file (this will clear all the settings so you'll need that backup file) once it's restarted you can then either reconfigure it (best option) or reload the config file

Hi thanks for the reply , the main problem I'am having is the file itself, it pops up on screen saying "firmware invalid" etc so I cannot even get past that stage, i have backed up the cfg but need to do the first step first.
thanks again ken

yep, it includes the wireless firmware.

That error message that you got is the reason that you have to use IE to update but if its now updated then that's great.
