Well today I installed a new Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 router to replace the Linksys WAG120N with cr*p wireless performance. Or rather - the Buffalo kind of installed itself - didn't use installation CD or anything. Plugged my freebie Thomson SpeedTouch modem in, connected the router, and about 3 minutes later I was back online. Not even PPPoE login information required - spooky!
So far, after about 6 hours continuous use, not a single problem. And no ALAC crashes with Server 7.5.1 either! Ambient temperature here in Portugal is around 25 degrees at the moment - the modem is warm but not the router. Wireless signal strength (according to SB Server Information) after the swap has improved from 33% to 58% on the Boom outside, and from 44% to 71% for the SB3 Classic in the lounge. Result! Tomorrow I may investigate Tomato firmware, but the old engineer in me keeps saying "if it ain't broke ..." So a thumbs up for Buffalo then. GRC PS Only minor gripe is no activity LEDs for wired connections - just power and wireless, but I can live with that ... -- GRC -Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it ...- And if it matters ... Elderly Sony Vaio + WD Passport + iTunes (Apple Lossless) SlimP3 (woo-hoo!)+ SB Classic / CA DacMagic + SB Boom + SB Controller Naim CDX/XPS + NAC52/Supercap + NAP135s + Dynaudio Contour 1.8 MkIIs Linn LP12 & some other stuff ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GRC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13846 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77984 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
