I might be able to get a draytek from my mate adam actually, he might be able to procure one from work for me...

Didn't even think of that

I think it might have something to do with my PS3, but it died last night and the PS3 wasn't on.. GRRRRR.

*ahem* funnily enough, the one i mentioned (and own) just went pop, so don't get that one it only lasted 6 months

****ing useless...! I'm after a (cheaper) wrt54GS/GL i think now if thats any help as teyre cheap and proven, unless you're getting a cheaper free one of course!

SidewinderINC · 23-04-2008, 19:34

crazy!

Well I've fixed mine, left it turned off for the whole day whilst I was at work and also changed the wireless channel from 13 and it's working fine so far!

Chuckles · 23-04-2008, 19:35

Yeah, definately sounds like someone near you got a router on channel 13.

I use channel 11 as well

Channel 11 FTW

SidewinderINC · 23-04-2008, 19:42

I thought "I'd better turn it to 11" actually *looks shiftily at your avatar*

Grab a copy of Netstumbler and you'll be able to see what channels any other wireless networks in range are using.

Wish mine was channel based, i can't even ping mine wired =/ Tried reseting and power cycling, all the lights are on correct but no-one is home

Ick, that's fooked then. Bugger.

LeperousDust · 25-04-2008, 13:29

It is indeedy, i need a JTAG connector, but then i need a serial port on my laptop which i also dont have getting all these together would probably cost at least £20! So i thought bugger it and bought a £40 v1 WRT54GS, arrived today and turned out to be german, so after a bit of translating anf flashing it in english i'm now running tomato 1.19 and bloody hell its awesome!

Definitely suggest tracking one down!

I've got 2

Well, I've got a v4 GS and a v1.1 GL. I'm using the GL because the wireless interface on the GS is knackered.

Originally I was using Sveasoft, but switched to Tomato about 6 months ago. I don't remember which version I'm running on the GL, I've not been at home for over 7 weeks.
