If you've got to do the 30-30-30 hard reset procedure daily, something is VERY wrong. The worst cases I've seen merely required a simple power-cycle, which still interrupts most tcp sessions.
BTW, are you saying your device came with DD-WRT installed? I've not seen that -- even though the 54GL is linux-based, I am not using the stock firmware (gasp). Oh, and, yes, both my antennae are indoors, which is why I have 20% signal strength (not 20% bandwdith)... I got a few more points by futzing around with a semi-parabolic mesh screen (a round campfire-cover thing) placed as a reflector to directionalize about 1/3 of the omni signal.... it could be better, I might try a smaller deep-frying screen closer to the tip of the antenna. Only my remote (garage) bridge has this added, but I did raise my indoor base station up onto the wall near the ceiling. Both stations have dual antennae, so I could replace one on each and put in a nice pair of directional tin cans or proper yagis :) Good enough for now... I'd still like to see how Mr. House plays with ZoneMinder and X11 controls, and get my circo-1930's house up to 1990's standards =P Ben On Sat, Feb 14, 2009 at 12:05 PM, dooger watts <[email protected]> wrote: > Ah so you're running a wireless access point; my setup is the straight > wrt54gl box.
