The geeks at Neowin have many ways to express their Epeen but I figured we lack a thread most tech forums have. I'll kick off proceedings

Router- Belkin F7D4301

Uptime- 41 days

(I've only recently adopted DD-WRT, one major plus is not having to reboot my router every 7 days to renew my ISP's DHCP lease :woot: )

Linksys WRT600N

uptime in DD-WRT terminal shows: "22:57:32 up 147 days, 11:26, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00"

I love DD-WRT. Only had issues with it once on an older build which would loose settings. :)

Lol I have to reset mine almost every morning. I'm using an old D-Link 524. I think I've had it for 6 or 7 years. I "upgraded" to a Linksys e2000 recently but the range was probably half as good as my D-Link. Returned it and went back to the D-Link.

I'm using a Linksys E2000 and it's been flawless and the range kicks a** for me. The router is stashed in a closet under the stairway leading downstairs even! Laptops all get full signal in every room on both floors. Can set outside on the deck with a laptop also.

Just rebooted my router 9 hours ago after screwing around with a messed up computer here. Power flashes out often enough here I usually don't get 30 consectutive days, without it doing so and rebooting the router. Using DD-WRT also.

Only 2 days. Connection issues with an "upstream" router (ie. the one on the other end of the house from where I am :p) forced a reboot. Before that it had been going almost a month.

It's a netgear WNR3500L running a 2yr old DD-WRT build. The other is also a netgear, running the stock netgear crap.

Really... Reset my old ****ty router or use a better router.

How bad is your range and what is your situation? My e2000 with DD WRT is like cork's. It gives me single 1 house away from me all around me.,.. It sits in on the first floor.

Edit: Uptime for my PFSense box is, 189 days and 23 hours before i rebooted it saturday because I did a firmware update.

Other then that, love my router,

The 2 linksys routers in the house, are all AP's and have been up 247 days and a few hours in between!

When I had the e2000, I wouldn't even get full bars using my laptop in the same room as it. It was probably defective.

Router #1 Linksys 3000 w/ stock firmware 1.0.04 has been up for aprox 6 months at least, doesn't give me an uptime.

Router #2 Linksys WRT320N w/ DD-WRT v24 sp2 (mega) has been up for 3 days and 10 hours, had to re-boot it to reconfig the vpn settings on this.

Firmware Version: 1.0.04 Firmware Version: 1.0.04

Linksys WRT610N v2 running TomatoUSB v1.28.9054 MIPSR2-beta K26 USB Ext

Noticed my router was getting quite hot so i turned down the tx power and rebooted it, wasn't having issues i just didnt like it feeling hot.

therefore my uptime is a measly 0 days, 10:08:41.

Before that it was about 47 days (time when I moved) and before that idk.

prolly gonna throw one of toastman's builds on there soon so my uptime is going to get reset again lol

    • Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.
    • And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂

    • This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time by Sayan Sen Recently we covered a really good deal on an AMD RX 9070 three-fan model that's available at slightly above its MSRP. If you are looking for a GPU for 1440p gaming that's around the performance of the Nvidia RTX 5070 you should most definitely check it out. Let's say that you are looking for a monitor to pair that up with too. The Samsung 49" G9 curved QD-OLED superultrawide is a good option that can provide an immersive experience. However despite being a very good deal currently (at $855), it may seem unaffordable to you, or you may simply not want to spend as much on a monitor. In that case Dell's S2725QS can be a very good option as it's on sale at the moment for its lowest price in over six months (purchase link under the specs table down below). The big highlight of the Dell S2725QS is its 27-inch IPS panel with a 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD) resolution, offering a high pixel density that can make text appear sharper while also providing plenty of screen space for productivity and media consumption. The display supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz through both HDMI and DisplayPort, making it suitable not only for everyday desktop use but also for smoother gaming and scrolling. AMD FreeSync Premium support is included as well, helping reduce screen tearing during gaming sessions. The screen has fairly good brightness and color accuracy so you can use it for general work purpose, though photo/video editing is probably not going to be the best match for this. The technical specs of the Dell S2725QS are given in the table below: Specification Value Viewable Screen Size 27 in (68.58 cm) Screen Mode 4K UHD Maximum Resolution 3840 × 2160 Maximum Preset Resolution 3840 × 2160 @ 120 Hz Standard Refresh Rate 120 Hz Panel Technology In-plane Switching (IPS) Backlight Technology LED Edgelight System Pixel Density 163 PPI Response Time 8 ms GTG, 5 ms GTG, 4 ms GTG Horizontal Viewing Angle 178° Vertical Viewing Angle 178° Brightness 350 cd/m² (nits) Native Contrast Ratio 1500:1 Color Support 1.07 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% sRGB (CIE 1931) Adaptive Sync AMD FreeSync Premium HDCP Support Yes Mount Type Panel Mount VESA Mount 100 × 100 mm Maximum Height Adjustment 13 cm Tilt -5° to 21° Swivel -30° to 30° Pivot ±90° Stand Adjustments Tilt, Swivel, Height, Pivot Glass Hardness 3H Horizontal Frequency 27–270 kHz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Vertical Frequency 48–120 Hz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Video Inputs 2 × HDMI 2.1 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3) Operating Temperature 0°C to 40°C Storage Temperature -20°C to 60°C Operating Humidity 10%–80% (Non-condensing) Storage Humidity 5%–95% (Non-condensing) Get it at the link below: Dell S2725QS 27-inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor: $218.49 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $280) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
