Linksys. Seems to be 'dumping' its memory. By that I mean my netbook sees the router, but cannot bridge the gap to the innerweb. It sits behind a Vonage bridge/voip thing. Phone works while this problem occurs, so no problem with modem. I end up having to reset router then running the set-up wizard to get back my security settings. Anyone else have this issue? |

I run a couple of WRT54G's and never had a problem. So it totally loses its config and resets itself to factory defaults ? Or you have to nuke its config to make it work again ? |

I reset it to default, then set it up again. Seems to be working now, but it's happened twice in two weeks. The first time I thought someone might have hacked it, but now I don't think that's the case. |

Only time I had a problem with my WRT54G was when I tried to use the :bsflag: one-touch set-up feature with my blackberry. It barfed and had to be reset. |

Put DD-WRT on it. |

It's basically as simple as flashing new firmware. Settings will still be stored in NVRAM, but I've found DD-WRT to be much more reliable. Plus it's got a bunch of cool features. |

Most recent WRT54G's lack the memory to run aftermarket firmware. Its usually better to use an older WRT54G (what is now called the WRT54GL). I run a WRT54GL with an aftermarket firmware called 'HyperWRT Thibor'. Its basically the stock firmware with some bugfixes, a few extra features, and the RF output power level setting is uncapped. Some people prefer Tomato over HyperWRT Thibor. I found an article which discusses the WRT54G versions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linksys_WRT54G_series HyperWRT Thibor info: http://heifner.blogspot.com/2006/09/10-steps-to-setup-wrt54gl-with-thibors.html http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,2845,1934579,00.asp |

One more weird thing, I can't bring up 192.168.1.1 to tweak the settings. All I can do is network name, router p/w, & wpa key. :?: |

You can't get to 192.168.1.1 at all or it just shows a couple of things? |

Start --> run --> cmd Type ipconfig See if your default gateway is still 192.168.1.1 |

Low and behold... now it comes up. *Nevermind* This thing's retarded. Now I have to get Echolink to work properly. Another issue altogether. |

So now I'm having an issue getting echolink to ping through UDP. Latest version says this bug was cured, but not for me. Anyone Port Forward Echolink with this router? I keep getting 'test failed' with echolinks router test. |

Big problem I see is that you are double natted. What ip is the Voip device giving your router? Double natting can work fine but more steps are involved... |
