    Disconnect Wireless Router At Night?

    Hi Bulldog, You aren't the only one. Whenever I am away from the PC for a decent amount of time I put my modem in standby. When I'm away for extended periods of time I unplug the router as well. FWIW, when turning the modem and/or router on remember to allow the router time to benchmark...

    Question about modding a Router

    Hi folks. I finally settled on a Trendnet TEW-633 and want to add heatsinks to the chips inside. I remember the D-Link DIR-655 A3 I had came with one metal H/S, and one ceramic tile(?) H/S used on the Ubicom chip. I'm wondering why were two metal H/S not used as in the A1 revision. Would...

    Question about refurbished routers

    Something to consider: Production items are tested say 1 in 100 (it varies). Price markup usually allows 200% profit, so anything that comes back for repair is a 50% profit loss (1/2 of the 200% profit). Once returned to market for resale, if it fails again it's 100% profit loss. Most mfgrs...

    My TEW-633GR has a RealTek switch

    Hi Blexley, My v1.1R has the Ubicom IP5160U, an Atheros 5416 and the MIRA RAM (looks like 5ns). FWIW I'm fond of the totally slotted sides vs. my DIR-655's pin-hole vents. The chips tend to run about 102 to 105 degrees F vs 110+ F in the 655. jdabbs: I'm thinking that anytime there is a...

    My TEW-633GR has a RealTek switch

    Hi all, Long time lurker first time poster. :) I think I may have something to contribute, I searched & I could not find it here so I thought I'd chime in. My new TRENDnet TEW-633GR does not have the Vitesse VSC7385 chipset. The router is a TEW-633GR/A HW:V1.1R. Instead it has a RealTek...
