I have a Linksys 54GL flashed with Hyperwrt Firmware Version: v4.71.1, Hyperwrt 2.1b1 + Thibor15c. I have the transmit power turned up to 67 mW which I've read is a safe range. I have the extended range antenna. I'm using WPA security. It is about 1.5 years old.
The last couple weeks the signal has gotten flaky. I can't count of keeping a signal anymore. It used to work solid with signal glitches being rare. Now, they happen on a very fequent basis. How can I tell if my router is dying?
I have a huge number of signals in the area competing - I've read channels 1 6 and 11 are the only ones to use and all three have strong signals competing with mine.
I'm not opposed to buying a new router but I don't want to waste money if I don't need to.
If I do buy a router - please suggest one for me.
