Following up Monday's entry on ADSL gadgets, the revised list of candidates are:
Hi Anders. The first Linksys WAG54GUK I bought didn't work - it powered up but couln't be found on 192.168.1.1.
The second one I bought worked for about 4 months, although I couln't get a VPN connection with work until I did a firmware upgrade. Then it started to randomly reboot itself. These reboots would cause the wireless connection to drop, and the only way to reinstate it was to perform a hard reset and reinitialisation.
0 out of 2 on a random sample - maybe I was just born unlucky. Or maybe the rumours that linksys quality control took a nose dive after they were taken over by Cisco are true. Oh - and I didn't enjoy the prospect of paying Linksys for the privilege of them recovering their dead kit.
On the bright side, the US Robotics USR 19105 I replaced it with is working flawlessly, and broadbandbuyer.co.uk were pretty efficient ...
