Hrm, been there done that, my befw1s4 v4 is dying slowly, I know I need to replace it but I have it temporarily fixed, but now I just have a question. Lately I have found that it doesn't lock up nearly as much if I disable all port fowarding, triggering, and wireless. Also removing the antennas helps dramatically. Today I got curious though, I was going out to the garage to work on my car but wanted to hear my mp3's stored on my desktop so I grabbed my laptop, enabled wireless and connected to my router, thing is, I forgot to hook back up the antannas, yet I still had full signal from about ten feet away where I keep my laptop. Of course I reconnected the antennas right then so I could go to the garage but I am wondering, is the transmission strength really that strong or is my laptop's integrated card just that powerfull?

Any comments?
