Router keeps dying

[mrbanana]

I run dd-wrt, which is based on the same code.

Are you running dnsmasq? I find it's pretty flakey. Once that goes down everything dies till you reboot. If so turn it off.

I also overclocked my router from 200mhz to 216mhz, which has helped a lot with my 20Mbps connection. If you're thinking of getting a new router anyway, why not give it a go, there's nothing to lose?

I know this is for dd-wrt, but there might be a few hints on this link re tcp udp timeout settings etc:

I have the 125Mhz version that can't be overclocked. I can't find the settign for DNSmasq either but will keep looking.

Edit: found it and disabled it

Fingers crossed and thanks for the tips.

well now it is cooler it is lasting longer (a lot longer in fact) between resets - so it must have been a factor.....

LOL

Hmm delta fan time?

I've got a belkin at home which has been on 24x7 for the last 2 and a bit years and has just started exhibiting a similar condition. Might see if I can put a small active heatsink on the heat generating parts to see if it makes any difference (this one can't be placed in an upright position unfortunately )

Removed the case and now just the main circuit board is sitting on the 4 rubber legs

Hope this solves any heat issues.

Perhaps you could resize the first two - even on the uni connection its taking a while to load

Otherwise looking quite impressive Has it crashed since?

Nope, been fabulous since doing that

I haven't really got the time to resize them, the were relatively quick for me to load :s

Should geek out and wall mount it really

heh, Uni connection is being slow then

If you google Image Resizer Power Toy you can do it with 3 clicks (no need to run PSP/Photoshop/Fireworks (delete as applicable).
