Hi,
I got 2 HDX101's and a HDXB101 kit. running 2 PCs on them for a good while now, about 10 months. For that many months, they've been running very well. I got 100Mbps from them no problems and can use them anywhere in the house. But 2 months ago, the network starting to drop out. And now dropping out more and more frequently. Now dropping out about 8-10 times a day. Some time it comes back after 10 mins but sometimes doesn't come back for hours. Sometimes I had to unplug it and then plug it back in after 10-15 mins and it'll work again. Now these guys are hot. not as hot to the pt that u cant touch them but I think they must be around 30-35 degrees.
Are they just getting too OLD? too hot? But they are just about only 12 months old. They are not like toys, right? should last longer than that.
Help please.
Thx
