Insufferable Router

For the past couple of weeks my router has slowly been killing itself. I expect this is because it's a Linksys and it was on the stock firmware - it had been reset unbeknownst to me, as I had previously flashed dd-wrt to it. It had been progressing from once every couple days to dropping the connection every 3 minutes. Resetting it each time was required. 30/30/30 didn't do anything to solve the problem, and it's definitely not Comcast's fault (how many times has that ever been said?)

It's already caused me quite some annoyance, particularly costing me quite a bit of esports monies in EVE (read the thread, you'll find me talking about it).

I spent the past 20 minutes flashing, reflashing, updating, and configuring a new dd-wrt. Spent the last 5 minutes sitting here watching my network status. It's stable so far but....here's hoping...

Oh man that sounds like the worst

EVE is hard enough without router issues.

Rated 5 stars for hope rather than 5 stars for approval of bad router/firmware.

I hope things hold together.

That's pretty bad, I had a ton of issues with my router a few weeks ago. I eventually determined that my brother dropping the router on the ground had somehow broken it and caused the internet to be functional but not usable, as when I got a new router, reset the winsock entries and the TCP/IP stack, got a new modem, tried a different computer and a laptop, then finally got the setup working in just around a week

I've got router issues but it has to do with the crap 2wire routers that AT&T uses with their DSL service

router can't handle the many connections P2P software sets up and drops the DSL connection a lot
