WRT160N v2

Way to go, you Cisco F-tards. If you are having problems with your WRT160N v2 router timing out with DNS issues, then you are not alone. Seems the asshats at Cisco skimped on the RAM in this unit, and it’s causing serious issues with build 11 of the firmware. What’s more, is they are being OH so responsive with their help.

Once again, we’ve been left to our own devices to “fix” this issue. Basically the fix is to downgrade to build 8, which of course is not something Linksys is assisting with. I’ve included a link to the thread where everyone is bitching about the problem below, and a link to an awesome tutorial provided by a concerned netizen. :) Well done, Paul!! Thanks much!

If you know me, then you know vacations are just not my thing. I usually wont prioritize them at all, and it’s something I need to fix. Heidi is stuck making all the plans for vacations and in charge of cheerleading it. Things have been so busy at work and with all the side projects I’m involved in that I’ve finally hit a wall. Even *I* recognize that I need a vacation now. Thankfully, Heidi has planned a nice vacation for the family next week. We’re off to Legoland (I didn’t even know there was a Legoland).

She also was nice enough to plan a generous portion of downtime (which is truly what I need to recharge). I like goin out with the family and doing the tourist stuff, but nothing recharges me like sitting in a hotel room and ordering room-service. :-D

I think the last vacation wwe went on was to Mexico with Drew and Cyn… That was years(?) ago I’m pretty sure! This short break is LONG overdue, and I think Heidi is working on a followup vacation to follow later in the year. Two vacations a year should be a minimum, right!?
