I overheated my WRT54GL when it when sitting on top of my computer. I moved it and it was ok.
I use tomato software with it I have not tweaked the wifi ro the highest setting 80 -100mW is enough. The overheating did not start until i got more squeezeboxes :-) But a better location solved the problem. I'm redoing my network right now, as every port was full and I want to wire more stuff. I discovered an underrated item the switch, eventually I plan to have all wired stuff connected trough gigabit switches. So that internal traffic between wired things never have to go trough the routers internal switch (for now I use 2 ports on it). I also use static ip an all non mobile things as servers and wired players and desktop, so I figure that I will have most of the network intact even if the router goes down . Sorry for hijacking the tread with similar issues. My linksys is also getting old I think. What do you think about the "ASUS RT-N16" . Spec looks decent inbuilt gigabit switch fast N networking enough cpu to actually do the switching effortlessly 2 USB ports. And capable of running DD wrt firmware . I do love the tomato router firmware, but it's basically a one person operation so tomato have not got into N networking yet. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J and assorted amps SiriuS, Classe'Primare and Dynadio speakers (including a pair of Contour 4 ) Bedroom/Office: Boom Kitchen: SB3 + powered Fostex PM0.4 Miscellaneous use: Radio (with battery) I use a Controller various ir-remotes and a Eee-PC with squeezeplay to control this ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77984 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
