Re: Netgear WGT624 v4 - brick

I never found a fix for this, a BIG word of warning. i went and bought a Linksys WRT160N V2 and its an even bigger pile of shit. Constant drop outs etc.

To anyone looking for a new router, do your homework before you buy. I ran out and went to my nearest PC world store and seen the Linksys on a shelf. What a massive mistake. Linksys believe it or not are not as good as people make out.

  I thought my WGR 614 was bad.

A neighbor asked me to help him set up a new Linksys WRT150N. Prior to this, he was using 802.11b and was looking forward to the speed boost. Well, I grabbed my Belkin USB 802.11n PCI adapter and headed to his place.

I helped him set it up, and was back there within several hours! The the router's dhcpd would decide to release/renew all ips for no apparent reason. My Belkin PCI card, which is well tested had trouble connecting at 802.11n and often stepped down to 802.11g ...

The guy got sick of his gaming and Skype being interrupted every time the router randomly decides to release/renew AlL ips and returned it.

I will swear by only one consumer router, and that's the Cisco 871w.
