tired of resetting my router

[xr4man]

yes, i keep forgetting that i should do that.

[Twigsoffury]

have you tried hitting it?

[xr4man]

nope haven't tried that.


however, this weekend i successfully flashed my old netgear router with the latest firmware for that model. i haven't actually set it up yet to try it, but i will soon.

i also opened it up to check the dust level and it was perfectly clean. so that's not my issue with that router.

i'll post up once i swap out routers and then again after it's been running a while.

i ended up giving the netgear router to a customer and he hasn't complained about it resetting yet, so maybe the reflash worked.

i also got a new asus n-16 router for my self. so far i only had to reset it once when it tweaked about having duplicate ip addresses on the network. but having a giga-bit network is real nice now.

getting 110v from the wall?


i know that i used to have a router i thought was trash, turns out i was only getting 98v from the wall outlet (have no idea why) and it'd reset at the slightest dip in voltage from the power company and would need to be power cycled in order to get its s@#t in order again.

98v?

Or 9.8V when it should've been 12?

[xr4man]

nope, got 115-120 at the wall. power is good. still haven't had to touch the new router, but that always seems the case. it's not till almost a year later that they seem to start to go to ****. so we'll see then.

[AmEv]

OH! Thanks for the clarification!

98V when it should have been 115!

I had a problem with my US Robotics router, where the DHCP would stop working a few days after being power cycled. I recently flashed a DD-WRT firmware to the router, and it's been working great since.

[xr4man]

yeah, i'n sure that's what the problem actually was. i've come across it before and been told that's it. i had just gotten tired of that happening with all the cheap ass routers i buy. so i got a nice high end one.

i know i could have flashed the old netgear with dd-wrt but the linksys that i was using at the time was not supported.
