Duelus Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 soooo my craptastic no name router my dad decided to buy finally died after six months of internet hell, it sucked the thing overheated and would shut off so we had to mod a heatsink onto the chipset on a 120 mm fan to keep it cool. when connecting to peers on torrents, it would also decide to die.... THANK GOD FOR LIGHTNING AND NO SURGE PROTECTOR so now I'm happy with my WRT54G... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingwray Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I had a router which would die when using bittorrent until it had a firmware upgrade. Most odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartain X Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 over heating routers are funny out of boredom one day during the school holiday i started udp flooding and DOS my wireless printer to see it performance testing .there where some funny outcomes, the printer completely froze and the printer was not accepting any input even on the keypad and quick power cord yank and it's back to normal. just kind of funny what you'll do out of boredom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaKo Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Since you have a WRT54G, you should stick DD-WRT on it, not as powerful as openWRT, but it has near enough the same functionality and a decent gui as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
