Hi,
My DSL-G604T modem router played up for ages (dropping connections etc) so i changed the firmware to the Router Tech custom firmware which i have happily used for some time now.

Yesterday my wireless stopped working. I can plug in via ethernet and surf good as gold but the moment i unplug the wireless does not pickup. I know its not my laptop because the whole family cannot connect on their devices either.

I have checked the settings and they look fine. Time for a new modem router? Any help/advice much appreciated.

P/s.............. the topic heading states part 2 because there is already a topic with the same heading but nothing there to help.

nigelj: Other people may have better suggestions, but that model got discontinued 2+ years ago, and may be well over 8+ years old (from memory, even I had one).  I'd put it in the "it's had a good extended life, lets spring $50-$100 for a new one with 'n' wireless" bucket.


After reading the above i thought it was a good excuse to buy a new one.
Just got back from Dick Smith, i bought a NetGear N300 Modem Router for $149 (normally $189). All setup, myself and family are using it now.

Thank you for your help/advice, much appreciated.
