Hello,
I've been running a BEFSW11 for over a year now, and was wondering
what experiences anyone else has been having with this unit.
I use this router to share a DSL connection among 4 LAN'd machines and
1 laptop with a WPC11 card. It is configured to use PPPoE. I have
port forwarding enabled to allow outside access to various services I
am running on some of the LAN machines.
My router has no version number...I think that means it's the first
hardware version Linksys made. I am running the latest firmware
available for this hardware version.
This router locks up on a regular basis, I would estimate twice a
week. I cannot correlate any specific activity to these lockups...I
will just periodically lose connectivity to the Internet. Cycling the
power to the router always cures the problem.
I have noticed that I can reliably lock it up if I establish a
wireless connection to the laptop, then try to use VNC from the laptop
to remote control one of the LAN machines.
Is anyone else experiencing anything like this with this model? Or
other hardware revisions of this model?
In a similar price range, is there another router that's generally
considered more reliable (D-Link, Netgear, Zyxel, etc.)?
Thanks for any info/advice...
