We have a Linksys 350N router which seizes often - but it recognises the kid's WII. It happened overnight, yet again, where nothing could be uploaded/downloaded - whether BOINC or e-mail. So, upon getting up, I had to turn the router off and on and then go through the computers to get BOINC to Do Network Communication. This meant that tasks, instead of uploading onesies, twosies, overnight, then uploaded in a large group such as 36 at once. Whereas had everything been normal, the limit may not have been reached but now... I assume then these "large" uploads trigger the credit limit? ***** I do wish to add this is an interesting project especially the fora which, unintentionally, provide much amusement. Anyway thanks to the administrators for maintaining it well and the communication. My thanks also to Milksop at Try. Ganz toll was Sie für uns getan haben. -ChinookFöhn |

I believe you may reach the limit this way. You may want to update the firmware on your router. 802.1n is a new technology and I've experienced much instability with it myself. Dave Przybylo MilkyWay@home Developer Department of Computer Science Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute |

Thanks. As I suspected. As for firmware upgrade... When it was just Linksys, things were better but now that it is owned by Cisco... Any way, there are several known problems which Linksys neither addresses nor replies to. I can only hope that there will be another update issued soon but I won't hold my breath. I suspect they have abandoned support on the router as I and, from what I have read, many other can not get a reply from Linksys support regarding the problems. A shame as Linksys used to be a nice company to deal with. Eventually I will buy another router but not this year and not until I find one that I can restrict Ethernet access to as I can with WiFi (only permit access to those MAC addresses I have entered). -ChinookFöhn |

May i recommend an open source firmware with many extra features. It's called DD-WRT and it's available at www.dd-wrt.com. You'll likely need the micro version but you should double check the supported hardware. I buy only Linksys routers and then immediately flash them to this firmware because I can't stand Linksys's support of their hardware. I find it's much more stable and offers a great deal of extra features than the original firmware.

Yes you may. I'll definitely take a look at it but the critical matter is that it must support the WII WiFi or I'll never hear the end of it. Thanks for the link. -ChinookFöhn |
