So it seems that my Buffalo router running DD-WRT is starting to flake out. It drops about 1-2% of its packets. Replacing it with an ancient cobbled-together linux box (still around as a backup from the last time my router device went belly-up) solved most of the packet loss (tho not all). So I need recommendations based on people's experiences with the latest generation of router devices. I'm sick of building linux routers out of desktop machines, and would rather run something on a small solid-state device. I remember Soekris boxen got some attention when they were new. http://soekris.com/products.html These look pretty modern: http://soekris.com/products/net6501.html They're spendy, but hopefully it's good-quality hardware which I won't have to replace every few years because it dies. Does anyone have recommendations on hardware that: a: runs linux b: is likely to keep running instead of dying after a few years c: is cheaper than the above Soekris solution ? -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com
