Wireless router
Filed under: hardware, networking
My D-Link router finally started acting funny. I have had it for a very long time but last weekend it got into a "reboot every 22 seconds" loop. After some fiddling, updating the firmware, pressing the hardware reset switch and desperately trying to use the web interface even though I only had a connection for 5 of the 22 seconds I was able to turn off the wireless radio. It was a guess, but a correct guess. For the last couple days it has been working as a non-wireless router which is better than no router at all.
I caved in and went with a Linksys WRT54GL. I chose D-Link before because their products are not large and blue. However, with five eggs on Newegg from over 1,000 reviews, my guess is that this is the best choice. 1,000 geeks can't be wrong about a router. I don't need wireless N or whatever, it's not worth the extra cost right now. Newegg got the new router to me in on the second business day. Nice.
