I'll look into the WRT54GL routers. We're going to upgrade all the wrt's we have in stock to dd-wrt. And we are going to either exchange or upgrade customers routers with dd-wrt as we experience problems.
I guess what threw me is that we suddenly had ten people calling in one day about the exact problem. I suspect there is some type of traffic on the network that is causing the routers to crash. Unfortunately I can't waste anymore time trying to figure out the problem when I have a dozen customers screaming at me. I need to get at least a temporary solution in place. Thanks you guys for your suggestions and I will post here if I find out anything more. --- Aaron, MCP, Network+, A+ Network Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] Great Lakes Internet, Inc 112 N.

I've heard of a new micro version of DD-WRT that can run on these newer routers, we won't buy a WRT54G post v4 ever again. We have gone to paying the extra money to put in a WRT54GL in, we have not have any headache's from them. Just recently we purchased a batch of WRV200's to try out for customers as they were $2 cheaper than the WRT54GL, so far so good, but then again sometimes it takes a while for problems to show up. -Kevin Neal -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Hammett Sent: Friday, May 16, 2008 4:05 PM To: Mikrotik discussions Subject: Re: [Mikrotik] Crashing Linksys Routers The common factor is Linksys... throw it all away. ---------- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Aaron, Network Administrator,Great Lakes Internet" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[email protected]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, May 16, 2008 4:23 PM Subject: [Mikrotik] Crashing Linksys Routers > Hi Everybody: > > > > Over the last two or three days a large number of our client's Linksys > wrt54g routers have been crashing and requiring reboots.
