    The bin file is not a driver, but the firmware for the router itself. If you open a browser and enter 192.168.1.1 it will connect you to the Linksys router (default username and password is "admin"). The bin file will not fix your problem. The problem is with your computer. How is it not recognizing? I need more information to help further, but the BIN file is not the solution. I hope that helps.

    Did you reset the modem? That is one of the first things you should do when hooking up any router. By resetting the modem and the router you will pull the MAC address from the router not the computer..

    Unplug modem and router, plug in modem first. Let it sync up then plug in router. You could also configure the router with out running the software Like the other guy suggested.
