<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">I think i've had one major crash which wiped my configuration and caused it to boot back into the linksys image (this was a while ago and I've since done a few upgrades). I sometimes (very rare) have to reboot the router as I lose wifi but that could just because of my macbook pro. My suggestion would be to archive an encrypted copy of your configuration to your personal FTP storage on your ISP or remote disk.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">I barely scratch the sides in terms of mem/cpu utilisation but I'm not doing heavy SSL VPN. I personally have it connected to Telstra Velocity which gets handed to me via UTP/Cat5 PPPoE as well as a Fixed Wireless Service which is similiar to NBN ie provisioned via DHCP. If you require ADSL you will need to get a modem and attach it to one of the ethernet ports I think.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><pre><br>Regards,<br><br>Thomas Cuthbert</pre></div></div></div></div></div>

Thanks Thomas. I sent Dad out to pick up a unit from Hardly Normal, so I'll see when I get down there tonight what version/variant he has and go from there.<br>
<br>
The reviews seem to give it significantly better performance than the TP link, but given the TP Link was about $60, some 5/6 years ago that's hardly surprising.<br>
<br>
I can migrate the dhcp/firewall/openvpn config across from the other unit, so it should be a fairly simple upgrade.<br>
<br>
Do you have any stability issues? I've seen people advocating scheduled reboots (which I think is nuts).<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Brad<br>
