i looked through the first 5 or 6 pages here, but didn't really find what i was looking for.
i've gone through 2 or 3 routers now, all different brands, and they all seem to work for a while and then start dropping the signal and i have to go down and turn it off and then back on again. i've read reviews on newegg for new high end routers and they seem to do the same thing as well. work for 6 to 12 months and then have to be power cycled about ever day.
what causes this? i did see a thread that mentioned something about heat build up. but my routers are always placed either on a hard flat surface or standing upright in their cradle.
is it a problem with the processor or memory in the router, or is it due to dust build up and it over heats or what?
does anyone have an idea?
i was thinking about taking one of my old routers and extracting the board and putting it in a custom case with some fans it see if that helped as teh first step and then next oi thought i'd try that dd wrt stuff i've been hearing about.
any suggestions?
