You need to uncomment the above line and put in your password.

You need to also uncomment the above line and change the fw= line to the
ip/address to the status page on your linksys router.  As in mine is
something like this...

## To obtain an IP address from FW status page (using fw-login, fw-
password)
use=fw, fw=192.168.1.1/RouterStatus.htm, fw-skip='IP Address' # found
after IP Address

You also may need to disable ecn in the kernel by adding the following
line to your /etc/sysctl.conf file..

net.ipv4.tcp_ecn = 0

May or may not need to reboot after adding that line (think there is a
command you can run to take affect without rebooting).
