I had the same thing happen to one that I turned into a "brick". I
did the NVRAM shorting trick, but ping did not return anything. I
left it on for a few hours, came back, did nothing, and it worked.
Maybe waiting for the filaments to warm up.

The 1.x models are 125Mhz CPU's. The later ones are 200MHz. See:
| http://www.linksysinfo.org/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=6
for a comparison chart. I have a V1.1 and several V3 models. The
V1.1 model will drop packets if I have a substantial number of filter
rules, MAC filters, IP filters, SNMP, PPPT, etc, and am running
encryption (using Sveasoft Alchemy). Basically, when I'm using all
the features simultaneously. This was noticed at the slowest WAN
speeds of about 1.5Mbits/sec. The V3 models don't seem to have this
problem. My V1.1 model also has a rather deaf radio, but that may be
due to my tinkering. Other than that, I haven't seen much difference
between the V1.1 and V3 units.
