    Deciding keep WRT54G2 or go WRT160N any difference in operating temps..

    I purchased a WRT54G2 V1.5 close to a month ago, if it wasn't for the heat generated from this unit I would be happy with it I think. Just sitting on my desk it gets really hot to the touch, and heats my desk up as well. When it gets really hot the speed seems to tank. I've had 2 instances so...

    Alight I tried Netgear wgr614 & Linksys wrt54g2 need some advice on what next

    Thanks for the reply, I'm not trying to insinuate that there is anything wrong with third party firmware. I'm sure they work fine for those who choose to run them. I think I'm just going to order the Dlink 601 online, and see how it does, at this price everything has bad reviews. The main...

    Alight I tried Netgear wgr614 & Linksys wrt54g2 need some advice on what next

    In my first post here I was looking for some buying advice to replace a Netgear MR814 router I've had 8 years. I at first tried the Netgear WGR614 Version 10, since I've had such good luck with Netgear. Version 10 of this router introduces some new green aspects of the company, it has a power...

    Need to replace dying B router with G. Dlink, Netgear, others?

    No nothing to exotic, I'm basically on the net 8 - 10 hours a day just general surfing, the most strenuous work out would be streaming media from Hulu here and there. As far as users, I typically have up to 3 active connections to the router: 1 wired, 1 laptop & one other desktop in the other...

    Need to replace dying B router with G. Dlink, Netgear, others?

    I've been using a Netgear MR814 for about 7 or 8 years, in the last 6 months it's been about daily with the power cycle game to keep it up and running. Straight to my modem I'm fine, also throughput and performance has just steadily gotten worse lately with this router, but it's old and to be...
