Hi all,

I've just had a WRT54G delivered from OcUK, and have tried to install it, but am having serious issues with it.

When I first configured it, it worked fine, and I did a firmware update, and it worked for ~30 mins, then it stopped responding to anything trying to be done over wireless or wired. Wouldn't connect to the config page, or even respond to Ping.

Power cycling it will allow it to work for no more than a couple of minutes. I've tried a restore to factory settings, a firmware update (overwriting with latest firmware again, forced fresh redownload from Linksys), and nothing is making a difference, still only working for <1 minute then not responding to anything.


Any suggestions, or is this knackered and should I try to get a replacement?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like it's goosed like tolien said, only things I'd check before rma is for an ip conflict if you have more than one network device on your network and also try a 30 second reset button hold if you already haven't.
 
Definitely not an IP conflict, it's never been attached to another network, it's always been it's own network.

I'll try the 30 second reset on it too, but unfortunately I won't get a chance to look again until tonight.
