That router, sitting about 12 inches from my monitor, is one of the most failure prone, troublesome, annoying and horribly underperforming piles of JUNK I have ever laid eyes upon.
Yeah, my HOUSE is not on my own wireless network... And at the end of a day with that router locking up more than a half dozen times, simply going "offline" 1-5 times, and other inexplicable oddness (yes, I acct ually own 2 of these actiontec piles of junk and this is the BETTER one of the two), I can barely spit out the word "Qwest" without wanting to punch or strangle someone. To think that my CPE will often have uptimes in the months, with uptimes being interrupted purely by power outages, I can't exactly profess much faith in "consumer" routers, in comparison to the stuff I put on someone's roof. I recently ran across one of my cpe I logged into by mistake (typo on the ip) and found the uptime matched almost to the day I recall replacing it due to a lightning strike - just about 6 months. My gateway and backhaul often goes 4-6 months (and once got nearly 300 days) of uptime before a radio crash required a reboot. Build me a solution that works as reliably and solidly as these things I put together myself.... and you got something...really got something. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ neofast.net - fast internet for North East Oregon and South East Washington email me at mark at neofast dot net 541-969-8200 Direct commercial inquiries to purchasing at neofast dot net ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Rogato" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "WISPA General List" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, December 28, 2006 11:24 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] StarOS or Microtik with TRCPQ clients... > > > Butch Evans wrote: > It is my contention (and yours, it seems) that a router > > at the CPE is necessary. > > > > BINGO. > > Qwest DSL has a router at every customer.
