that feels like a *really* dated reference now

I'm really surprised you're having the problems you're having. I was hooked up and running an hour and half out of the box. -- nm - Remlik Aug 6, 09:18
Is it openwrt compatible? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 09:11 4
- He bought the Archer C7, I don't think it is. -- nm - spamlet Aug 6, 09:13 3
  - I have that one, I bought it because one iteration is openwrt compatible -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 09:35
  - Have you tried supplying it with alcohol to make it more compliant? -- nm - KuBaron and the Two STrings Aug 6, 09:18 1
    - Typically the reverse happens with Archer. -- nm - spamlet Aug 6, 09:31
:( - spamlet Aug 6, 09:08
Are you sending it back? -- nm - David Aug 6, 09:08 16
- I may have to....can't watch any streaming video...keeps freezing every 5 minutes or so -- nm - prayformojo Aug 6, 09:09 15
  - Is there a firmware update? - spamlet Aug 6, 09:13 12
    - I'll have to check about that. I'm wondering if there might be some incompatibility with the modem, but I wouldn't think that would be likely -- nm - prayformojo Aug 6, 09:15 11
      - Who is your internet provider? Or do you have your own modem? -- nm - spamlet Aug 6, 09:17 10
        
        I have Cox, and this is my router -- (link) - prayformojo Aug 6, 09:20 9
        
        A quick Google search doesn't show anything. - spamlet Aug 6, 09:25 8
        
        actually, i went through the reset route several times last night -- nm - prayformojo Aug 6, 09:26 7
        
        Maybe you just did get a dud. Is it a Roku that's dropping the connection? Have you rebooted that? -- nm - spamlet Aug 6, 09:30 6
        
        Roku, Tivo and laptop all having problems streaming -- nm - prayformojo Aug 6, 09:32 5
        
        but yeah, I probably just got a lemon -- nm - prayformojo Aug 6, 09:32 4
        
        We all blame Spamlet. -- nm - David Aug 6, 09:49 3
        
        He recommended 2 Cellos, which more than makes up for this -- nm - prayformojo Aug 6, 09:50 1
        
        Does not! -- nm - David's iPad Aug 6, 10:35
        
        eh, what's new? - spamlet Aug 6, 09:50
  - I wouldn't push it. You've got a clunker. Just go to Best Buy and pick something else. -- nm - David Aug 6, 09:11 1
    - Yes. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 09:36
A better router would've kept you from making it. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 6, 09:03
