Linksys WRT54Gx router problem
A very commonly used group of routers is the Linksys WRT54Gx series. The recent LangaLetter has an item from a reader about log problems in these routers.
Fred, if your user with the Linksys has a WRT54Gx series router, he might want to make sure he doesn’t have the “log” feature turned on. If left on for extended time, the file will exceed the routers memory and cause the WiFi portion to drop out every time it tries to write to the log. In some cases it will require a power cycle reset to correct but others have reported that the WiFi sometimes will “self repair” after a while (maybe a Watch Dog Timer – WDT). Keep up the great work! —Perry Ogletree
Now, I have a home network with a WRT54G router and have not noticed this problem with the log feature enabled. However, wireless can be flakey and once in a while one of the computers has a little problem getting an IP. Whether this has anything to do with the log I don’t know. Anyway, if you want to turn the log feature off go to your router and open Setup-Administration-Log and click the radio button “Disable”.
