<title>[Wireless] WRT54GL random Wi-Fi lock-ups</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20817150</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have a WRT54GL v1.1, initially shipped with the 4.30.7 firmware. I use it as a Wi-Fi access point with WPA authentication, and it also connects me to the Internet with a static IP address. In my WLAN, I have two PCs with TRENDnet TEW-443PI wireless adapters.

From time to time, the WRT54GL will stop working as a Wi-Fi access point for a short time (several seconds to 20 minutes). During such a lock-up, no wireless signal is received on the PCs. The device then arbitrarily returns to normal operation. The lock-ups seem to be random, I cannot relate them to any activity on my PCs. They occur about once in 2-3 days, but this varies.

The problem has been present ever since I purchased this device in May. Today I have successfully upgraded the firmware to version 4.30.12, and then reset and re-configured the device, but have just experienced another lock-up. I have also tried removing power from the WRT54GL during a lock-up for several seconds, then putting it back, but this does not change anything. I have tried both the &#8220;Mixed&#8221; and the &#8220;G-Only&#8221; wireless modes, and the problem exists in both, though I haven&#8217;t yet had the opportunity to try 802.11b devices in my WLAN.

Please help me get rid of the lock-ups.]]></description>

<title>WRT600N or wait for WRT610N?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20792601</link>
<description><![CDATA[I'm thinking of upgrading my router to wireless N. I'm considering the WRT600N to run DD-WRT with, but I also saw the 610N is coming out. Frankly, I'm not impressed with the new form factor of the 610N and prefer the 600N. 

Considering the 600N is getting hard to find, should I really wait for the 610N? I know the 600N has issues with DD-WRT, and I'm not entirely sure if it only works with version 1.1 or both 1.0 and 1.1. (Alas, in Canada, we only have the WRT600N-CA, which doesn't tell you what version it is).

Any opinions?]]></description>

I called Comcast and they spent alot of time trying to get the 269 to renew but failed. We have good signal strength ect... We took the bad computer to a friends house and it hooks right up to his Linksys AP with 192 .... Is it the router or the computer? Thanks    ..mike]]></description>

<title>[Wireless] WRT54GS Ver. 6--Adapter won&#x27;t work</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20816055</link>
<description><![CDATA[Be gentle with me--I'm only a mom/homemaker but the most computer-literate at our house.  We have the above router upstairs in our bedroom where the cable company set up our internet access.  My Toshiba Satellite laptop connects great anywhere in the house.  However, the kids' Windows XP desktop downstairs with the WUSB54GSC adapter has quit connecting.  This is our second adapter in a year.  I upgraded the firmware/whatever via a several hour chat with Linksys support.  I had merely called to see if I could connect a Powerline network thru our router to the desktop and then the support person had me making all kinds of changes on the desktop.  He never really answered my original question.

Do I have any other options for connecting the kids' desktop to our network?  Is there anything more reliable?  The adapter only got a "low" signal at best.  Now, when it does light up it's very dim and will only brighten when I jiggle the adapter in and out of the USB port.  Are these adapters really the junk I think they are?]]></description>

<title>[Wired] Linksys CM100 Max Transmission Rate?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20586568</link>
<description><![CDATA[Anyone know? I picked this up a few weeks back and just now noticed Linksys does not disclose that info. I have Charter cable and on there 10mb/1mb plan. So, far it is handling fine. But, just curious. Since I might upgrade to there next tier which is 16mb/2mb service. I looked up the Motorola SB5101 and they list it as 38Mbps Downstream, 30Mbps Upstream]]></description>

<title>[Wireless] Linksys Experts help please router Model WRT600N</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20808927</link>
<description><![CDATA[Ok folks, background info first.  I have Comcast 6Mbps/1Mbps

Yesterday I decided to download a 6.3GB file from the Sony PlayStation Network, wirelessly to my PS3.  The download speed was horrid... it took 10hours.

After a long thought process at work I came home and did some speed testing on 3 different computers; here's how it was done.

Computer 1: Desktop, Vista, wireless - through router, furthest away.
Computer 2: Laptop, XP Pro, wireless - through router, mid-range.

Computer 3: Laptop, Vista, wireless - through router, closest.
Computer 3.1: direct connect - through router
Computer 3.2: direct connect - through modem

Now then, each of the 5 was tested on 3 speed test sites, 5 times each:
1)Here on DSLreports.com - to Forth Worth, TX
2)Speedtest.net - to Houston, TX
3)Speakeasy.net - to Dallas, TX

For a total of 15 tests a machine, and 75 tests overall.

Now then, for the average Down/Up results of each site for each machine.

Everything listed in this format: DSLreports/Speedtest/Speakeasy and all numbers are kbps

Computer 1:
Average Down&#9;1377.2 - 1518.6 - 3262.6
Average Up&#9;914 - 922 - 1011.6

Computer 2:
Average Down&#9;1430 - 1911 - 4707
Average Up&#9;968.6 - 947.2 - 1028.4

Computer 3:
Average Down&#9;1679 - 1855.6 - 4737.4
Average Up&#9;997.4 - 869.8 - 1028

Computer 3.1:
Average Down&#9;1774 - 2033.4 - 5246.2
Average Up&#9;1002.2 - 947.8 - 1030.2

Computer 3.2:
Average Down&#9;6030.2 - 5700.8 - 6273
Average Up&#9;1009.8 - 983.8 - 1039.6

Ok... So as you can tell, all my upload speeds are hovering around the right area of 1Mbps.  However my router seems to extremely be hampering my download speeds.  It was only after I direct connected to my modem that I started getting around the 6Mbps mark.

So I'm asking for help.  This is a brand new router, that has dual channel capabilities, and I've having some major trouble configuring it.

Can anyone assist me please?  I don't mind if this takes a few days or weeks.  I've extremely tech/network savvy, but this new linksys router has me stumped.]]></description>

<title>[Wired] befsx41 makes noise</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20802319</link>
<description><![CDATA[Router befsx41, about one month old, is making sort of a white noise whine. Anyone else heard this from their router? I'm running the newest linksys firmware, i think it's 1.52.15

The noise is a little irritating. My computer makes less noise, go figure.  :o]]></description>
