ok, let me preface by stating this post is written by the hand of rage and anger
How come companys can get away with making shitty products.
My linksys wrt54G has been a NIGHTMARE
my dlink POS wasnt much better
my belkin never worked right from day 1 out of the box
my linksys.. every month i had to reset the bastard because it did not retain an IP from comcast, ive tried 2 wrt54g's and i ran into the same problem.. thought it was comcast.. they claim no responsibility... eventually my linksys just stopped asigning IPs all together...
bought a dlink... range BLOWS.. i can piss farther than it throws a wireless signal....took 3 tries for it to take the wireless security settings... and now it will drop my connection every 3 min.. so far it has done it twice writing this post.. i see "cable unplugged" in the bottom cornor then it comes back after i disable and re-enable my network adapter.. i stood out in my garage where the router is.. when it drops the entire thing locks up.. all lights come on and stay there... then it blacks out.. and boots back up
the belkin never really worked from the get go... shitty range... DMZ settings did absolutely nothing. port fowarding did nothing... if i needed to open up a port i had to make a virtual server, even that didnt work half the time... every now and then it would randomly lock up.. have to go out and cycle the router and modem for it to get an IP again
what the hell is wrong with routers.. are they seriously that cheep that they do not function for more than a year? the longest ive had a router is about 7 months then i have to buy a new one
anyone else have problems like this with home networking?!
