3 hours ago I switched my router (a WRT54G v.5) over to DD-WRT with the Generic Micro Kernel V.23 SP2 .
Since then, I've had several problems.
My network quits working for no reason (DNS goes down). Either rebooting the router, or logging in and renewing the DHCP address on the external network interface takes care of the problem.
Same thing happened to me about 4 months ago, and I had to replace the router because it got annoying. Same exact type of router but with the v.22 kernel.
if you are using any p2p file sharing programs set the IP Filter Settings to 4096 connections and both timeouts at 90...... It's in the administration tab under management.
That's the main reason any router locks up
with those settings I run torrents and emule and who knows what else and it never locks up.
Not sure. One thing I had to do. I couldn't use a backup of the nvram from 23 rc 2 on the router. When I tried that it locked up. I then did the master reset on the bottom of the buffalo router and that restored defaults and I went and set everything up manually.
Mine works great.... Only small glitch today was I had a very high amount of P2P, newgroup downloads and voip running all at once..... the router rebooted itself. I didn't lose settings but the time up was set to 0 so I assume it rebooted. No power surge.....
how much at walmart? I could always use an extra router.... I never step into walmart unless I'm desperate or it's an offer too good to refuse......
70$
Ordinarily I'd grab one off newegg, but I NEED a reliable internet connection. Mostly because I was at fault for it going down ,and my housemate was ready to kill me because he couldn't play Gears of War. haha.
