Linksys - WRT610Nは不安定?

しょっちゅう切断するわ、無応答状態になるわで困ったのでチャットアシスタントをつかってみた。
とりあえずファームウェア再インストールで事象は改善したけど、Ubuntu 10.4 + Intel 5100の組み合わせだとなぜかIEEE802.11g/n関係がさっぱりつながらない。つながっても数時間でダメ。DD-WRT使ってもダメ。
ちなみにAES固定にして使わないと今度はIEEE802.11a/n接続が死ぬらしい。(gはセキュリティOFFでもかわらず)。
機器自体は性能が良くてパパッと動いて結構快適なんだけど。。。なんでかなー。NICドライバのせいかなー。

ProBook 5310mとかいう一世代で終わったしょーもないMacBookのパクリPCを使った罰なのか。。これはw

不良品対応は上記プロシージャを試してから交換検討するみたいです。
