Linksys WRT54GSUK - Remote Access losing connection?

spankysmagicpian · 20-02-2007, 16:56

Hi -

searched the web, been on Linksys support and nothing so far. I had an SMC router with my 4mb BB. I've recently moved up to 10mb and it would only throughput 7mb.

I bought the above router and when using LogMeIn (remote access to my PC at home) it keeps hanging and disconnecting me. I didn't get this with my old router.

Any ideas? I seem to remember reading somwhere there might be some settings to change due to the same problem with torrents?

Any help most appreciated.

I use a WRT54GS with WRT-dd firmware, this sorts out the p2p thing and I've never had any problems with my remote access, works fine.

It might be worth upgrading the firmware.

Another vote for DD-WRT firmware...

Cheers - I'll give it a go despite only buying it yesterday... errr its pretty safe upg the firmware with DD-WRT? Is there much difference?

Hm..maybe you shouldn't flash it then because, it will void the warranty.

I upgraded mine the day I got it, didn't have a problem.

I upgraded the official firmware and still the same problem. Pile 'o' crap.

Two choices then -

1) take it back and swap for a Netgear
2) Upgrade to DD-WRT and hope it cures the problem - if not that's me screwed.

If I upgraded to DD-WRT - would I be able to flash it back if need be?

thanks for your help
