Re: Netgear WNDR3300 Issues
Yes, I understand that DD-WRT is better (in most cases)... I have used it on many routers and have had a great experience with it.
HOWEVER the Netgear stock firmware isn't so bad...
Why? Because of the recent update.
A while back, I logged into the cotnrol panel of my WNR2000 and it said I had a firmware update. I did it, and HOLY COW what a difference! They literally redid the entire interface!
Besides, we know the stock Netgear firmware is 100% compatible, so it's worth using just to test the hardware of the router - if you still get dropped connections using the stock firmware we know something is wrong with the router.Comment

Re: Netgear WNDR3300 Issues
I read it is a common issue with that model router and DDwrt.
however, I am not going back... going back would kill all the printers in the house , which are all network printers (one IP, one hooked to the file server). I have not had dropping issues myself... and my dad is using a azurewave wifi module
I may try a 30/30/30 reset tonight and see if that has any effect (I forgot to do that when I installed, DOH!).sigpic

Re: Netgear WNDR3300 Issues
It was just a suggestion :P
IMO, you learned something: test a router thoroughly BEFORE installing aftermarket firmware or modding itComment

Re: Netgear WNDR3300 Issues
Those are pretty much junk. My eeePC came with one of them.. nothing but trouble and poor reception. Replaced it with a Broadcom miniPCIe card and never had problems since (and got the added bonus of out-of-the-box OSX compatibility
)
edit: the Azurewave also only used one antenna (only had one socket) and claimed n-WiFi capability, the Broadcom card is only 802.11g, but has sockets for two antennas. Bought a chinese internal laptop one from ebay and hid it behind the LCD. Can't say it makes a lot of a difference (probably because of the antenna being cheap & cheesy), but it definitely did something.Last edited by Scenic; 02-26-2012, 04:01 PM.

Re: Netgear WNDR3300 Issues
would an intel 3945 be a sizeable upgrade then?
his has 2 antenna sockets on the card... not that that means anything...sigpic

Re: Netgear WNDR3300 Issues
upgraded the card, the POS won't detect it... maybe you HAVE to use the junk card under windows?sigpic

Re: Netgear WNDR3300 Issues
added heatsinks, no impovement
I read that axing the 2.4ghz radio and setting the 5ghz radio to 2.4ghz fixes it...
that means no more 5ghz
but other than some old wireless A cards I have somewhere, 5ghz had no use... two of my laptops could see it but the performance was not that much better than the 2.4ghz setting... TBH, I don't see the big deal about 5ghz... it is only good in wide open spaces, which my house is not.
any other advice?Last edited by ratdude747; 03-06-2012, 09:57 PM.sigpic

I have for many years have used NETGEAR routers and most of the time I get about 2 to 4 years of service before I have issues with it but this one is a pain in the a** to say the least
First of all it goes offline for no reason at all
Or it has an error message that says no internet connection
The other issue is that sometimes it asks for the password also for reasons that I can think of
Power cycling it helps but a week or maybe longer then you have some kind of issue like website loading very slow or can not access the printer or whatever it decides... -
Hi, trying to troubleshoot some problems with this laptop I just finished repairing which had power issues (Burnt Buck converter - SY8883DFC shorted to ground).
After repairing the above issue, I realized the following remaining problem,
Sound only comes from bottom speakers, top palmrest speakers don't work. Neither does the headphone jack (static/buzzing).
The computer recognizes headphones are connected and displays a popup in windows
Sometimes, the computer will boot up and the sound will be working fine. However, if I run intensive programs and the computer... -
Hey! I bought a Lenovo T14 Gen1 i7 10 nm-C931 (a brick). The previous owner said he got it on eBay as a password-locked device and took it to a repair service, where they tried flashing something. The result: it doesn't turn on.
When I plug in the charger, the charging LED lights up, and the power button indicator blinks three times.
I downloaded the firmware from the official website, but it's incomplete. However, there is a firmware for the embedded controller (MEC1663). I did a mass erase via OpenOCD, wiped MEC1663 along with the EEPROM, and flashed an image from the... -
I have a Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ACH, which has started exhibiting the well-known issues of the Lenovo IdeaPad 3.
All stress tests run perfectly, and there are no performance issues. However, the solder joints are almost certainly starting to fail. If the top two screws on the back are not screwed in, moving the screen results in a BSOD or, in some cases, a slight artifact and freeze. This is a 2023 notebook..
How can I extend its lifespan? Could reflow help?
It has ryzen 5 5500h, rtx 2050, no soldered ram.
Example of the artifacts:
