#237302 - 12/10/2004 01:21 Dell-branded 802.11g router

Today, out of nowhere, it sh*t the bed. Completely dead even after doing a reset with the little button on the back. I'm back online with my trusty RT311. _________________________ -Rob Riccardelli 80GB 16MB MK2 090000736

The link light for the internet connection blinks at an obviously timed pace, but on the cable modem itself, its link light blinks like you would expect. The wireless portion of the router is totally dead. It still works as a switch still, but it's no longer giving out IP addresses for DHCP. The built-in web server for admin is unreachable eventhough you can ping the router still. _________________________ -Rob Riccardelli 80GB 16MB MK2 090000736

robricc carpal tunnel Registered: 30/10/2000 Posts: 4931 Loc: New Jersey, USA	I will try to reflash it eventually. I'm actually a fan of the RT311 and I guess I intend to keep it going. I was only using the dell one because of the built-in 802.11g. Right now I'm using the RT311 with an old, but stable 802.11b AP. _________________________ -Rob Riccardelli 80GB 16MB MK2 090000736
