Longwood, FL | WRTP54G - very hot and slow performance I recently purchased the WRTP54G (office depot using a $20 coupon). I've switched out my existing WRT54G and am using the WRTP54G but have not activated Vonage service yet. My experience so far is very disappointing. The unit runs much hotter (to the physical touch) than the WRT54G and it has dropped my broadband performance drastically. Now my network crawls! I have done nothing special to the device and do not have the wireless activated.
Bottom line is I am thinking about returning the device this weekend. I have entered a support issue with Linksys but do not have a reponse yet. |

Longwood, FL | You can trade in any wireless router. Wired routers do not qualify. See the terms/conditions here:

I was worried and suprised at how hot the case of this unit was. I solved this very simply.
Go to Radio Sack, buy a fan. I bougth a 115v unit and it sits next to the router and cable modem, keeps evertying cool.
Upgraded firmware and now I seem to be rock solid, or at least as solid as 4 days of testing would make it. |
