Re: Need to replace dead Actiontec router... options?

Unfortunatly they still provide the Actiontec for business connections. Its a good product minus the power supply and connection table issues. I host a couple of servers and a web server with 800-1000 client connections a day which I don't think is that much, but was enough to force me to reboot the router every 3-4 days or it got flakey. I bought a cisco used for about 270 on ebay and no more problems. I use adtrans and zyels at small business's all the time without problems. Although I understand the sonicwalls may have issues at 20/20. If you are adding business service at a residence and have TV they will have to add a secont ONT.

As far as the firmware issues, for those of you using Ethernet (not MoCA), have you considered third-party firmware (such as DD-WRT, which is available for the ActionTec)? I recently returned to DD-WRT as they actually added the one issue that had me using WhiteRussian RC6 (IPv6 support) to the latest version (V24RC6.2) with my WRT54GS2.1

I'm not sure where you got your information. I've been following the forum on the following link which has the latest information on the Actiontec port of the DD-WRT firmware. From this link, it does not appear to be available yet.

The following link which lists supported devices, shows the Actiontec as "Work-In-Progress" with a special board needed, which I believe is the wireless card. No word on whether MOCA will be supported.
