My Modem gone up in smoke !
|
|
I've a sad news to share with everybody here, my D-Link G604T ADSL modem had gone up in smoke today. I don't know what caused it, but I suspected long duration of use (24/7) might contribute to its demise.
Now I'm stuck with the spare Kasda ADSL modem, hard to dial out, a bit unreliable but it does its job of keeping me connected to the internet.
I think i need to save some money to buy myself a new modem after this, preferably one that can operate non-stop 24/7. I heard linksys and 3com modem are good but the latter is much harder to find at my place.
Any tips on buying a new ADSL router (preferably wifi capable) ?

Go for a 3COM man. I have been using one for the past year and it hasn’t failed on me yet. It has wireless features. Comapratively it may be a little more expensive than the generic names, but hey, it’s a 3COM, the price is worh it.

IMHO, D-Link, 3COM, Linksys, Aztech, whatever… performs about the same, if you’re comparing similar models.
The thing about ADSL modems is that it needs good air circulation to have a decent lifespan. I’d recommend placing your modem in open areas. Putting it in a closed compartment will kill it faster.

[...] This is the continuity of my previous posts My Modem Gone Up in Smoke! and Inside My Linux DLink G-604T Broadband Modem/Router. Seems my local vendor finally replaced my faulty G-640T after eight month use with a new broadband wifi/router with same capabilities albeit different model (G-2640T). The new model is smaller, has shorter antenna and generate more heat than its predecessor. [...]
