FOAK: belkin routers

Anyone experienced any problems running off a 4 port Belkin router? I've
found a few like minded souls in various groups but no solution or even
recognition of the problem. It seems just to give up and demand a reset
every day or two of hard routing.

My newly installed netgear one did that for two days. Telling it,
rather than having it go ask, the ip addies for the dns seems to have
solved that one. That or something else that was whining or whinging
that it didn't have total and unrestricted internet access whenever it
wanted and it wasn't like that when we were on dial up and has been put
aside for later dealing with.


Cunts and fuckwits, it's all their fucking fault innit? If it weren't
for cunts and fuckwits I wouldn't have to faff around with all this
fucking firewall and security shit. Boo hiss to cunts and fuckwits I
say.

 

Is this the tables filling up? It could also be corrupted data, you can
certainly hang them if you send them enough malformed packets.

 

My Netgear went fucko like that because they introduced a bug into the
ADSL modem code. The next revision of the router firmware, saw the ADSL
model code rolled back to the previous revision to fix the fault....
which indeed it did.

 

I thought you had a Linksys router?

Anyway, Belkin kit is for girls.

 

Stop fucking moaning you silly old ****, such nonsense pays my mortgage.

 

I did but it died. So I bought a Belkin one for a change and it doesn't seem
that happy. Maybe it's just the nature of routers, they have to be reset all
the time.

 

Dunno about that. Last night I was playing game over the internet and
checking email on other machine while g/f surfed ebay on a third and it just
kept dropping.

 

my Linksys router ran continously with zero problems for almost 3
years, and the current Efficient Networks one has had an uptime of
about 3 months now with zero probs.

Maybe you're too dumb to work electrical things.

 

Have you loaded the latest firmware? I had issues with an old dlink and
the latest firmware resolved it

 

I had a similar problem, but it was with an SMC job. It was fixed by
emailing the manufacturer who sent me an update for it that wasn't on
their support website. If might be worth a shot if you haven't already
done so.

Well, in the nicest possible way, the sooner you are on the dole the
better then.

 

I've got the wireless/adsl/4-port all in one thing, and out of the box it
has a timeout thing which hangs up your ADSL after 15 minutes, and sometimes
the ADSL doesn't reconnect properly. You can set the timeout to zero, and
it'll stay connected for ever. Literally.

Wow! Bargain. Saves having to pay the broadband subscription then.

well, yes; if anything Porl is a definitive example.

 

What's this? Some kind of nerd flank attack?

 

I'll thank you to leave darsy's flanks entirely out of this.

I think we're all still pseudo-jealous of your imaginary
eastern-european girlfrield. Or something.

actually, and I'm pretty pleased about this, I've lost weight
recently.

I'm still fat, mind; but it's all relative.

 

Especially after this afternoons gorgefest, Fatty.

 

No, I think Porl has too.
