does the routers need frequently to reboot itself (Keep Alive - Schedule Reboot) to clear its resources after some operations time?

I thought that OSS (*nix) doesn't need frequent reboot & it was designed not to reboot very frequent.

Even my Aztech 600EW can't last until 1 month 24/7 running no problem until it mess-up the DNS & had to be rebooted.

My WRT54Gv7 stock FW (of course stock - no 3rd party supported) around 2 weeks 24/7 operation - need to reboot because Web GUI cannot be logon...

- both router were located in my room & no special mod to install heatsink/fat whatsoever added - just plain stock. Maybe because i don't do torrent or p2p. hurmmm...

Just got my WRT54GL with v24 sp1 special today...1 time setup need to reboot several times - that was ok, hoping this router will be stable as previous 1

New...

yes as i mentioned earlier... there is no issues regarding my new wrt54gl...

my concern is - as i can see ppl keep on saying that "the need to set keep alive for rebooting etc etc" - is it true?

Even though i don't quite understand the "settings" as u mentioned. but i do get the last point u were saying...

Yes.. set your modem to bridge mode 1st
then connect the rj45 cable from the modem to WAN port of u'r WRT54G2 router
then connect u'r pc/laptop to the WRT54G2 router access through web 192.168.1.1
change setup to PPPoE & configure it
done!

for WRT54G2 pls check the supported device list of dd-wrt FW
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Suppo...ed_til_today.29

WRT54G2 v1.0 Broadcom $45 Micro Only BCM5354 chip rev 2 240 Mhz ? 8 MB 2 MB None / 2 Internals 4 LAN, 1 WAN no ? 12V/0.5A no 203 x 35 x 160 mm ? WIP

almost the same.
check this image for reference/example:

Not all on the list will be supported such as WRT54G v7... pls read-out the "Notes for Running DD-WRT"

Hurmm... Uptime issue la...after 5 days or so operation time it become unstable (web interface cannot be accessed & bandwidth transfer rate become slower n slower)... I'm not doing BT or heavy download - need to reboot it.. after that everything works fine...

Even though..we can set the auto reboot (cronjob)

Could u elaborate more on the proxies that u want to apply? type of proxies?

U want u'r connection to use proxies or what? check on the NAT / QoS page..

for the proxies i think u need to setup u'r browser settings to use proxies using http/socket (80/8080/3128/etc)

but if u good enough with *nix u can try to play around within the shell console it self

check u'r /etc/hosts if i'm not mistaken
