25 Nov 07 Router

The connection suddenly started dropping out every three or four minutes, I know that Comcast isn’t all that, but I decided to investigate further.

Well not only was the Internet connection dropping, but the network itself was too. The darn router was rebooting itself that’s why!

I swapped it out for an older one, but that was any use, and I’d changed that for the newer one – a D-Link DI-624 for a similar reason.

The issue with many routers is that they run hot, and this degrades the components over time.

Anyway, after much researching, I settled on a D-Link DIR 655. So far I’m very pleased with it. Later on, I shall upgrade the wireless cards in some of the computers to take advantage of the higher speed offered (300mpbs).
