Thanks guys. I now have a little Linksys WRT610N that Sabuj suggested. It is cheap so I am shooting craps with it.
I have a Ubiquiti Airrouter, but it seems to have some radio problem. I really like the Ubiquiti routers and firmware, but their 'consumer grade' stuff seems to not hold up like the equipment they are better known for. The Airrouter has been pulled from market from what I could tell. FYI, the Airrouter also used POE for power, but it used 12V not 24V like the other Ubiquiti stuff I have tried. One problem with my current Linksys WRT54Gv5 is that the wifi setup internally seems to break free from the hardwire part of the router. I am guessing a capacitor has died (it is about 8 to 10 years old, if I remember right), so it is time to give that one a rest. If I go unplug it for a while and restart it, it seems to work OK for a while longer. But when it is out, I haven't been able to get my 'smart switch' to determine it has an issue (since it is plugged into the wired side) to get it automatically restarted. This is in addition to the firmware issues I mentioned earlier. I did have a Buffalo router that I used to replace the WRT54G, but eventually went back when the Buffalo couldn't handle the power issues (high's and low voltages that being on a mile long dead end) we have here on camp. It has gotten better since the power company re-strun NEW cable onto camp a year+ ago. Now instead of 20V+- swings, the same APC UPS reports 10V+- from the nominal. Normally running 122VAC to 126VAC is what we normally see, but the other still happens on occasion so the UPSes kick in every few days in storm season and less often other times. Once I get something else running, I will try flashing the WRT54G with DD-WRT code to see it that brings it back to life. ... Running old equipment, it always helps to keep a spare! I am keeping these notes, and if this little router doesn't work out, I will try the RB751G that was suggested. Thanks to all. Your input is appreciated. It is great to have friends that will assist with good advice. ... Jack -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
