You DO NOT want my current modem-router-wireless router config. LMAO. it's a damn mess and a big headache to setup.

Looks like the consumer routers are not really that good when you really use all the features like the VPN passthru...Most Netgear models have problems with the VPN. More headache...

OT: LOL, found a 'secret' AP.

i heard it got struck? still working???

Yup. it got struck and the modem was fried. My 8 port switch also died. Powersurge.

Luckily the both my Linksys Router and el-cheapo AP+router is still working.. Phew!

Yes Chai, consumer grade routers are pretty ... well ... useless when you make use of more 'funky' features.

If only we can 'borrow' one of those rackmount switches and routers. Haha.
Maybe can look at those HuaWei routers. Cisco clones!

OT: Hmm discovered using NetStumbler?

peaz's model is an old one, so it's out of the question already. Adrian's bad, mine's bad, who else?

Well, my old wireless router was good. It's a 3Com model. Only disadvantages are its support for only WiFi-B and lack of port control for the firewall.

OT: I found an AP which is probably connected thru streamyx, not the network.

No more monitoring!

I'm now watching my office upgrading new router!

Chai,

I agree, the di-624+ is a POS. Random reboots, wireless suddenly blacking out sometimes, drove me nuts and made me regret not researching before i bought the router.

Then i found new firmware on russian and german d-link sites. Finally i stopped pulling out my hair

UPnP finally works, no more random reboots, and wireless stays on! I've kept my router on for over a month once, and had no issues. This was with the latest, 2.09, dated January 2nd 2006.

Give it a try, you can download it here: ftp://lizzi555.dyndns.org/Download/W...rmware/Rev_Bx/

LOL! For those who are still wondering, I bought a Linksys RV042. Extremely stable!

RV042? Oh, it's just a four port 10/100 router, right?

Chai · 8th May 2006, 07:14 AM

It's WAY WAY more than just a 4 port router...
