| 1185672 | 2011-03-17 03:02:00 | Thanks Chill. I just googled and several reviews came up. The one I am quoting primarily is PCWorld Australia: www.pcworld.idg.com.au The other one was testseek.com, and the language suggested there might have been a spot of plagiarism going on somewhere. You find that a lot in reviews and it becomes difficult to find out who was the original author and who are the plagiarists! My Pro/Wireless 2100 works fine (as far as that technology is concerned!) with my Linksys Wireless-G access point WAP54G, even though the lappie is b, not g. I am trying to see if PB Tech will do a bundle of router and USB wireless adaptor, and will let you know what happens. I notice there is now another thread going about an updated firmware for this router, and it is later than the one when the review was written. |

If you're using B-Wireless, that's not what they're talking about, so I wouldn't worry. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||

That, or the fact it's a Belkin? :D No seriously, I've never had good results with Belkins: www.c2s.co.nz I note when I disconnect power and leave for say 5 Min's it comes right, it has done it 3 times now, have sent info to Belkin and await response. Working all right this morn. If any major bother will get the one you suggested. |

| 1185677 | 2011-03-17 20:07:00 | My old Dynalink adsl router used to have the same symptoms as your Belkin Cicero, and it seems that Chill's explanation of overheating was the correct diagnosis for mine. I touched it one day when re-booting it to unlock the darned thing and it was almost too hot to touch. I found out later that this was a common fault with that model. |

Well John, I just touched mine and it is warm but not hot . I am of course referring to my router . :rolleyes: No doubt Belkin will sort, or is that wishful thinking? |

Now why would I have thought you were touching anything else? :blush: Hmmm, well mine certainly got close to egg frying time (the router that is). I have never dealt with Belkin - I only have one of their products and it has been fault free (a small wireless mouse for travelling with my laptop, being somewhat allergic to touch pads). Good luck. |
