Belkin Pre-N Router Problem - Continued

[Guest]

This is an additional post.

My problem with the Belkin Pre-N router continues. The wireless
functionality now completely collapses after one day or two.
Had a chat with the Belkin tech support who was clueless and who could only
recommend some basic changes to the setting.
The phenomenon is now accentuated. Performances on the wireless system very
quickly decreases till unworkable. Router resetting is working...which is a
tiny consolation.
A similar problem was also reported in an article by David Haskin, published
on 12/29/04 in SmallBizPipeline.

So I did my last changes to the wireless setting - most of the options OFF
and 811G only. Stay tuned !

When will Belkin fix this problem? Have not seen any Firmware update yet !

I've only had the odd issue. I had wirless go once. But no real issues
since. But when ADSL does a reconnect on the modem for some reason the
router doesn't recollect its dhcp address(or leaving it ten mins isn't
enough!). And i find resetting the router solves this. I only really get
this maybe once a week and no real issue with that.

Other than that I'm entirely satisfied with the product. I use the desktop
belking pre-n card also (which is just a pci card with a slot to take card
slot cards - i.e. the pre-n notebook adaptor).

It could be that your router is on its way out(defective). I work for a WISP,
and we install several routers a day, and we come across new routers that are
defective almost daily.

Good News
Since I switch to G only, things are now working fine without any hiccup. So
does that mean that B&G together does not work? I do not know.
For info, the config is:
Protected mode off
No ACK
QoS off
802.11G only
Fixed channel

Hope it helps
Dan

Well they advise using protected mode if you are using b and G.
No idea on the ack bit.
I Do use QoS thought not sure if it benefits me or not.
the rest of the settings I also use.
