Well see mine is 12 months now :) the hardware quality on any consumer computer stuff ? who knows I think a large portion of any consumer pc hardware is duds, I buy a new one when that day arrives (it is cheap ) . A word of caution the third party fw makes it easy to crank up the radio signal default is 41mW I use 84mW now but it is possible to use 200mW that could actually lead to stronger signal but more noise ? and actually toast the radio chip in the long run. I used 200mW for a long time before I read somewhere that more than 100mW is risky for WRT54GL hardware. maybe one should fork up the cash for a pro router/access point next time and be done with it. When you are at a hotel or office ,they manage to flood a whole floor with wifi quite easily. -- Mnyb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61869 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
