Re: Airlink+ AR315W - having some fun
That one I bought a while ago is still running fine (and still hot). I left it at a friend's house. I had installed it there so I could use his cable connection with a couple of laptops while visiting. It does seem to have a DNS problem every hour or so, which then resolves itself in couple of minute; this might be influenced by the ISP's DHCP lease time. Very odd bug. What's even more strange though is that I only saw it on the wireless connections, not the wired ones, and it only seems to affect new lookups. A workaround that seems to work is to hard wire the addresses of DNS servers on the web in the PC's IP configuration, so as not to depend on the router's DNS. Still no firmware update as of today. To be honest, I did not even bother to contact tech support. BTW, Fry's had it on sale for $24.95 last week-end. As I said, cheap entertainment as long as you don't take it too seriously. |
