I am Sacking It!

Linksys WRT54

This was one of the very worst purchase for year 2007. I read the review before I brought it. I didn’t know there were many revision to this model. Some have less RAM and some ran on Linux. It was freaking confusing and I ended buying the wrong revision.

The correct revision was 2.00 or 3.00 but the one I have is 5.00. Sigh. It has slower processor, lesser RAM and it hangs once in a while. The signal of the WiFi is weak, over 2 rooms and the signal strength is dropped by half! I guess the double antenna doesn’t helps.

The reason I am getting rid of it is because I saw the router reboot the WiFi capability by itself yesterday. Numerous times! I know because the router’s WiFi light was turning off and on. Imagine playing World of Warcraft with such gear, it is a nightmare. It was expensive too, I think it cost me around RM200. When my new Buffalo WiFi comes, bye bye Linksys.
