Switch from KeZone Hotspot Software by Timico

I don't know how many people are out there who may want to change their KeZone hotspot software provided by Timico.

It's not an easy thing because there is only ssh access to the router so they have to use tftp to change the hotspot software.

The solution can be found in this forum thread: http://forums.linksysbycisco.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=Wireless_Routers&message.id=129417

Only people that were/are connected to KeZone/Timico are able to obtain the password as it's their broadband password.
