[SOLVED]403 error when updating router firmware

[codyobrien93]

We have a Linksys WRT120N in our apartment and it keeps dropping the wifi, requiring sometimes multiple restarts per day. Before I buy a new one, I wanted to try updating the firmware, as it is out of date. I downloaded the .bin file from the router's web page, and loaded it in the Administration tab of the router setup web page, but when I click the "Start to upgrade" button, I get a page that says 403 Forbidden: Your client does not have permission to get this page.from this server. A google search yielded no help, so I've turned here. Any ideas how to fix this?

Worked on a different broswer

I tried this in a number of browsers. Up to date Chrome and Opera both gave me 403 errors, and Firefox and Internet Explorer could not login properly. Microsoft Edge was able to login and update the firmware (if anyone on a Windows PC finds this like I did.)
