<description><![CDATA[Thane_Bitter posted : There is a slim chance the power brick is a dud, if you have a spare 12v >1A power adapter give it a go.  Most of the WRT54G routers have an onboard power regulator which can tolerate some under voltage (I use to run my WRT54GSv2 at 9v because that was the only PoE splitter I had on hand) however if the adapter can not output the necessary current the onboard system can not compensate.<br><br>There was a thread a few months back about how some of the new N type Linksys routers can with weak power adapters that did not supply enough current.  Users found greater signal & stability with 3rd party adaptors.  It was first posted in the DD-WRT forum and later a thread about it was posted in here.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Subaru posted : uh-oh it just happened again.. I notice my WLAN light stopped flashing and was out. then I tried to go on a computer that was plugged into the WAN port and while everything acted like it was still connected I had no internet connections.<br><br>Seems like the router is running hit or miss now :-/<br><br>So I tried to reset the router with the reset button and that was no good.. I unplugged it and pressed the reset button waited 30 sec and plugged it back in and that too was no good.<br><br>The only way that works for me (to stop the power light from non stop flashing) is to unplug my modem and unplug the router and reboot the router and plug the modem back in.<br><br>*EDIT*<br><br>well clearing the NVRAM worked.. and my internet is not as slow again... is this something I need to keep doing?

<description><![CDATA[Bill_MI posted : I'm thinking more of filter capacitors aging - about as close as electronics gets to "wearing out".  These can be in the power supply *or* the unit itself.  This can cause greater sensitivity to power spikes.<br><br>In general, such sensitivity usually wouldn't be as subtle as only "slowing down".  The unexpected reset you just mentioned is more like the symptom - or becoming non-responsive ("hanging").<br><br>The list of possibilities is quite large.  Almost all the talk in this thread is in the "most likely" category.  For example, internal solder joints can go bad but is less likely if not seen in the first year of operation.  Same for chips (ICs) going flaky.<br><br>EDIT: BTW, you might try a little tapping on the unit in various places and directions to see if you can create some of these symptoms.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[obeythelaw posted : i just purchased a linksys wireless n router to go with my wireless n gaming adapter. i'm using it for my directv.  however, i have some g computers in my network. the place where i bought the router said that the n will operate at n speeds and the g at g speeds but the whole network won't go down to g just because a g hardware is in the network. my friend says no and says that the entire network will go to g even though i have an n router and n hardware in a mixed mode. it's a dual band router if that makes a difference. ]]></description>
