    router issue

    I have a Netgear WGR 614 that seems to require a power down reset a couple times per week. The symptoms are really slow or no page loads, DNS errors etc. Is this a configuration issue? If so, can someone tell what I'm doing wrong?

    I have a D-Link wireless router and a Westell DSL modem and I honestly don't know the last time I needed to do a reset on either of these. By any chance is the router in your "shack"? Some brands and models are more susceptible to RFI than others.

    I've heard the same. Even putting the router at the other end of the house won't do it.

    No, router isn't in the shack. In fact, I'm not even QRV at the moment, and haven't been for 9 months...no antennas up.

    Is it overheating? Blast it with the "can-o-air".

    I have a router notorious for overheating so I took it apart and stuck tiny bits of heatsink on the chips with superglue. It rarely requires a reboot now in spite of being in the boiler/furnace room.

    I don't think the router was a problem... In a boiler room, most electronic devices will fail lol
