I was given this second hand wireless router a while back. It generally works fine, but sometimes loses all its settings. It gets turned off at night, along with the PC and cable modem, so I'm guessing that the non-volatile memory is volatile after all, but it doesn't happen every time.
To save me opening this thing up, can someone tell me if it has a battery I can replace or if it is just likely to be faulty.
It's mainly a pain as it loses the wireless settings. I don't want it going back to unencrypted.
Have you tried resetting to using the pinhole button in the back? I think that clears NVRAM. That router could have had DD-WRT installed on it and maybe the previous owner restored the factory firmware w/out clearing out NVRAM. – hyperslug – 2009-09-28T21:38:25.980
Since installing the latest Firmware the problem has not re-occured. – Steve – 2009-10-06T20:56:16.157
I have this device with dd-wrt. It has been working great, but now loses it's settings with any power loss. I'm totally bummed as dd-wrt has worked great. Does anyone have any suggestions for a fix or a replacement dd-wrt capable device? – Chasler – 2009-12-27T07:30:44.327
