I share my experiences with technology for the exact reason as to harvest the wisdom of the crowd. I know that if I don't have the answer, someone out there probably does.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08128019008732356137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439161.post-72509169591164477452010-07-13T01:53:53.584+08:002010-07-13T01:53:53.584+08:00It's me again.

But then I visited Edimax.ru and found firmware v1.22 there which dates from 07.07.10 and to my great relief this update solved the problem - for over 24 hours the router runs smoothly now! Here is the BR-6226n support page in Russian with clear download links at the bottom of the page: http://www.edimax.ru/ru/support_detail.php?pl1_idSelect=support.php%3Fpl1_id%3D3%26mwsp%3D1&pl1_id=3&pd_id=286&button=Go<br />My own old Edimax BR-6204Wg also lacks latest firmware on the English site but it can be found at the russian one. I can not explain such an idiosyncrasy on the part on Edimax but my router runs without a glitch with that latest driver from russian site! <br />On a more philosophical note I'd agree with you that Linksys is a safer bet for some people in some situations, but the price difference where I live between BR-6226n (NIS130) and the cheapest n-router from Linksys WRT120N (NIS295) amounts to 42USD which I was happy to save to my friend in this case. <br />Anyway, thank you for the original post as we just might have helped others with this annoying technical problem as a result!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439161.post-10582395094577395972010-07-11T20:08:45.652+08:002010-07-11T20:08:45.652+08:00If it's still under warranty, I'd encourag...If it's still under warranty, I'd encourage you to get a replacement instead. Linksys models offer less for the same money, but I have not had problems with the Linksys for 4 months running. And I run it for weeks without powering it off. Linksys isn't the only good brand though, shop around for some other established brand. Netgear or Dlink, maybe?Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08128019008732356137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439161.post-61549786664684114502010-07-10T17:04:11.975+08:002010-07-10T17:04:11.975+08:00The BR-6226n I installed at my friend's place ...The BR-6226n I installed at my friend's place stops responding in just the same way. First I updated the firmware to 1.19 and it made no difference for the problem. I used passwords no longer than 15 characters so that the similarity in configuration narrows to the FW turned on, something not many people do. I'll try to switch it off next time just to verify if it's the source of the problem...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
