If an earlier version of the firmware is available on the mfg website, might be able to flash the earlier/different version. Did you flash the wrong BIOS? Could try resetting the router to the original settings, should be a button on the back but you'll need the original log in and password. This won't likely change the firmware. A lot of routers won't let you flash the wrong firmware so resetting the router help. At least worth a try

It looks like you have installed the correct firmware. There should be some router setting that will allow you to disable ricochet, which should allow activate the WAN port. Check the manual help in the router settings. I can't imagine Linksys would lock you into ricochet given people change ISPs all the time and that's looks like it's specifically for satellite and uses an USB connection rather than WAM
