a little over three months ago i replaced my aging linksys wrt54g wireless router with a buffalo whr-g125 specifically to run dd-wrt on it. in the last month or so since i got my macbook it will occasionally become disconnected from the wireless network (wpa2/personal) and the only solution would be to hard reboot the whr-g125 (the wired pc’s never lose connectivity). i never had that problem with my dell or toshiba laptops (running windows xp), so i’m inclined to believe that the problem was something to do with the shiny new macbook (note that i could connect to other wireless networks just fine — open access points ftw!).

tonight i wondered if there might be newer firmware available and it just so happened there was. i was running “v24 beta (08/15/07) vpn” and am now running “v24 rc-5 (11/22/07) vpn” so i’ll monitor things for a while and see if it keeps happening. it could be that it was a bug in the previous version, it could be something flaky on my macbook. who knows!?
