WN802T is it dead???
Hiya guys, Is my access point dead? I have a WN802T, which i have had for about 6 months. I came home today to do some work in the office. The Network connection light is out, the wireless light...
The brick which broke with me some weeks ago and was RMAd showed disconnections very often, after I had bought it sometime in June/July 2007. This was with all firmware prior to v1.3.15. I had to constantly (daily) disconnect from the current and connect again. I read many postings in another forum complaining about the same symptoms of disconnections.
I upgraded my new brick (which is NOT the replacement for the RMAd one) immediately to firmware v1.3.15. It never showed signs of disconnection and this one is very stable. It has almost the identical serial number of the one which broke (I bought it at the same outlet).
Now, my guess is that all bricks, which once were using firmware versions prior to v1.3.15 caused damage to the bricks. Just speculation from my side. But the NETGEAR engineering dept. may wish to investigate this one.
