Question about SMC (SMCWBR14-G2) Router
I have a SMC Barricade model SMCWBR14T-G wireless router which recently started freezing up several times daily and needs to be reset using the button on the back. It is about 2 1/2 years old. It is hooked up to my main computer's DSL via ethernet and wireless to a second computer. When it freezes, I lose connectivity with the internet until I reset it, then it works fine for a while. The router seems to be very hot on the bottom. Is this a settings issue, or is it simply nearing the end of it's life? It has worked fine up until now. Thanks for any help.
Maybe it is an electricity problem, or it's nearing the end of it's life. I bought 2 routers till now.each one worked fine for 2 years and then never worked.You should buy a new one or check if there's something with the electricity . Maybe a higher voltage

Hello,
I have the same problem with my smcwbr14-g2. It seems it is a little hot under and freezes when i try to download (movies, music etc). I also updated the firmware to version 1.11, it's the latest i could find on the web. If i connect the cable from my Isp directly to the computer i have no problem and the download is visibly much better, the router seems slower me a little.Also i must tell that the "freeze" is not regular, i mean the router works fine for a day, for a few days and once even for 2 weeks (and never for that time :D) or on the last weeks for 4-5 time per day. I'm thinking to change it but quickly than that remove it. Can anyone please help regarding this issue? Thankx
Same as above, plus it is extremely slow at times.
I have used the same router with you and I have to re-power it twice a day, it usually freeze internet browsing.Binh
