What do I win for being the lowest spec?
2 ea D-Link DIR-601s running dd-wrt
802.11g
Ant. - 1x1
20 MHz
2.4 GHz
The only thing these get reset for is when my LAN connection goes down.
Sometime when it comes back up, I have to refresh the IP address. Combined,
they've probably been running over 2 years.
