Unstable connection using a Linksys BEFW11S4 and Netopia 2241N
BACKGROUND: After searching several forums for the past few days, I have decided to post a new thread because I cannot find anyone that has posted a solution to solve my problem.
The only conclusion that I have come to is that this router is junk, and I would probably be better off without it. Several people have reported that the router looses its connection on random intervals of time, for me it is close to every hour.
Please note that I have tried the latest firmware 1.52.02. It amplified my problems by 10, so I went back to the previous revision that I was using.
PROBLEM: I cannot pin-point a specific time that the router looses its connection, but it happens too often for me. Usually within an hour of resetting (pull the cord, wait 15+ sec, plug it back in).
The mysterious thing for me is that it only affects the wireless clients. The hard-wired machines still operate fine. Also, when the router looses its connection, I cannot access it via its web interface (192.168.1.1) until I reset it again.
