RE: Corrupted files during transfer...

Hi, Per,

We don't know why the Linksys routers sometimes cause data corruption with 
SOS. But we've worked with Linksys technical support in the past and at one 
point had identified that versions of the firmware before 1.3 caused the 
problem.
The way to confirm that it's the router is to try to connect to SOS through 
a different way that doesn't have the router in its path.
We used to recommend upgrading to the latest router firmware, However, some 
firmware upgrades have re-introduced the problem. We've had users go back 
to an earlier version, if that version worked with no problems. I don't 
have any specifics other than try to try a different version of the 
firmware version. This link may help you:
