Re: PC Mag on Crack
apparently , you didn't test uploading of large files, since the linksys "inherently" has a problem with this (regardless of firmware), and it is has been documented in the linksys forum in great detail..... (see some of Bill in Michigan's thorough posts).... |

| actully I upload alot, and usually when I do its very large somewhere from 512meg to 1gig. I have only once had an issue with the linksys. Netgear is hole different story. When you have 20 of both you get a better Idea of what makes them tick. I'm not say the netgear is a trash router, however again I'm saying I would never own another one or use there router in the field.

| As I said, it has been documented in the linksys forum that large packets will cause the linksys buffer to saturate, lockup, crash, whatever..... then the unit will reset, dropping the connection. I tested BEFSR41 for several months, 20 minutes into uploading a large file, it crashed, every single time. I didn't realize it wasn't just my linky, until I read Bill (in Michigan) thorough analysis of what happens to large packets with the linksys. Btw, he doesn't not recommend the linksys at all for ftping....
So far, none of those issues, so far, with the Netgear... |
