I've been having some issues with my D-link DSL-G604T for months now and it seems to be progessing to worse as time goes by.
I will usually lose my ADSL connection or the wireless will act up and not send out a signal or even worse all the lights turn off and only the power light remains.
Usually I have to power cycle it a few times to get it working normally again. I had a look inside there and it's filled with GSC caps.... none are bulging etc.
Now I recap motherboards but I just can't be bothered disassembling this unit to pieces so I think i'll just go and buy a new modem and wireless router.... I want an upgrade on this stuff anyway.
The D-link DSL-G604T that I'm currently using is an all in one unit with wireless and ethernet inbuilt to it as well (I bought it because it was cheaper than the seperate stuff).... i'm kinda over this all in one stuff and I think it's better if I get a seperate modem and a seperate wireless access point.
I need some help in choosing the access point and the modem. So far my choice for the wireless access point is the Linksys WRT54G series because I've heard a lot of good stuff about them and also I own a Linksys WAP11 access point and that thing perfect in every way.... only problem is that it's only 11Mbps compared to 54Mbps on the newer stuff.
I don't care about the new 108Mbps 802.11a stuff so anything that is 802.11g and 54Mbps is good enough for me.
And my choice for the modem is a Linksys AM300 series ADSL2+ modem. The modem costs $59AUD and the access point costs $58AUD...... go figure...... the access point is cheaper than the modem????.
Anyway, I need some opinions on my choice.... are they good or bad??
The D-link is now 3 years old so I'm not dissapointed that it's dying now.... it did its job well for the 2 years until recently where it keeps acting up.
Thanks.
