Linksys WAG354GV2 so crap  

Its ok if you dont hit it hard....but if WAN goes over 100kb/s....sometimes 300-500kb/s and im doing LAN stuff to....it just goes into meltdown mode.....remote access to the router freezes....it slows down so much....to a slug in a coma mode.....only a power cycle sorts it   and its got the latest firmware on it.....

Seems to handle it ok if pc's all connected hardwired....wireless seems to be the prob......did wonder about massive wireless retries (ie interference) Is there anyway of seeing whats going on (ie collisions/retries etc)

Get yourself a netgear router, far better than stinksys  

[nick v6]

Not sure i agree there.....netgear....another cheap router....linksys....is owned by cisco.....who should know what there doing  :-/

The fact it works ok hardwired.....makes me think interference on cordless side  
Actually you just gave me an idea   im on channel 11 on the cordless side.....just about all the other cordless routers i can pick up are on channel 11 as well.....so think i will switch channel on it to see if it makes a difference

Try a move to the other end of the frequency band Dave.
That or send OOF dog round to eat their routers.

change the wireless MTU to 1450 it sorts out most routers that have dropout problems

Just set the router to channel 1......pc upstairs got a crap connection strength....so upped the router to channel 13....lot better connection strength....so ill try that

That will only work....if their routers are covered in yummy 'food'

Convincing Holly that a router tastes like sausages?

MTU is set to 'auto' at the mo.....should i change it 1450?...ie set it manually???

She'll never fall for that one..

Try going into your routers config. page and disable ssid broadcasting-stops others piggybacking through your router.

Open up Internet Explorer and type 192.168.0.1  or 1.1 , hit enter for username and enter 'Admin' for password.

You will need to tell it the 'name' of any devices you WANT it to connect to though.

Yes, the fact that is on Auto means that it will be changing and causing dropouts

If its a siilver one, yeah, normal I'm afraid. Suitable for pure surfing/email.

Cisco have 'consumerised' a decent product to distance it from its own range.

The blue and black linksys were the last of the good ones.

LOL.  I must have misheard.  I thought you were suggesting Netgear were good

Silly me, nobody would ever say that....
