> My netgear dg834 frequently loses the connection. These are AR7-chipset routers, they can work really well on certain types of long-lines apparently, but not for others, this sort of problem is normal depending on the combination of your line and the router/chipset in use...
It is a pain to get OpenWRT working on a DG834Gv2/v3 but it does work (generally not including the wireless). BUT it CAN be done and DOES work for IPv6 reliably. You often have to patch or replace the bootloader on those units which is not easy, e.g. the Replace with PSPBOOT-1.4.0.4 fun... JTAG to fix/reflash, etc... I had this version running for ages:- http://openwrt.enyc.org.uk/openwrt/backfire-2011-07-30-r27838/ (But, since then, 10.3.1 has been properly released). > Does WRT have QOS on it? Err.. You can do basically anything flash-space-permitting on openwrt. ;-). I saw various scripts for various QoS setups but never tried it myself. > The old dg834 doesn't have it and it would be useful to > tame errant users in this household :) > Martin N --Simon -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
