OT: What we want are things that work; what we get is technology

[Palit, Nilanjan]

My experiences are similar to Rajiv's. My home Netgear wireless router has been running without a SINGLE reset since 2005 (yes, that's ~5 years!). The only time I ever have to go into the router's admin is when I have to add a new mac id for a visiting guest at home. My experience is similar for another Netgear wireless router that I installed at my in-laws' -- no issues in >2 years running.

try it first without the cron job. from my Asus WL-500gP v2 access point/router running tomato firmware, services five wireless and many more wired clients:

14:18:04 up 466 days, 15:32, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

no troubles with it at all.
