Have you been changing the firmware on them? The majority of the problem with consumer routers is the software is built 'fast and lose'. I find the WRT54G/GS units to work well once changed. Same for the 150/160N. The next largest issue is that they skimp on the hardware resources, the 310 has

Thats the first thing I do, update the firmware. Sometime it helps but usually not. The darn things just are flaky! On Mon, Sep 22, 2008 at 10:59 AM, Jeromie Reeves [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Have you been changing the firmware on them? The majority of the problem with consumer routers is the

find one that works and keep it. Easier said then done, when distributers keep changing what hardware rev they stock. Darn near impossible to keep it straight. We are doing our best to stay away from the 54G linksys AP's now because we found that most of the models have problems with ARP over

I agree with Jeromie on this. Everytime I run into a WRT54G/GS I load DDWRT on them. I have NEVER had a problem out of these home routers after doing that if they are setup correctly. Last I looked, they had many more coversions of home routers with athero's chipsets(DDWRT). I have even used

I already responded, but a bit late on this thread. I have a USB flash drive loaded with all flashes of DD-WRT that I carry all the time. Anytime I run into a WRT54g/ GL/ gs/ I have all DD-WRT firmware to zap them. Best thing since sliced bread if you ask me. Scott -- Original Message

Yes, and Travis's original post is as follows: I'm looking for a recommendation on an Ethernet router (two ports or more) that is somewhere in between a $50 Linksys and a $500 Cisco ASA. Something that will do some basic QoS would be nice. Any suggestions? thanks, Travis, Microserv B/G router,
