of course if you brought it in for testing at your local computer shop.. it would then be fine.
I found a way around this problem. before taking it in to be RMA'd I'd power it up and then shake the hell out of it... smashing the heads into the platter. it is now realy bad.. not just flaky.
then i'd RMA it. and ofcourse it would fail the tests the technicians would put it through... I'd walk out with a new Harddrive.
anyway you could do something to your router so that it is no longer flaky?
yet not void your waranty?

110V to the WAN port sounds good
....no thats a little too obvious
What I've decided to do is to just buy a new one, since i dont feel like having a ghetto rigged router with no port fowarding for 2 weeks. Then i'll send this one back and if I get a new one, great, I have a spare or I can sell it.
The router i have now is a Linksys BEFSX41, are these good or did i just happen to get a lemon ? Should i get the same one or should I look into a different brand like Netgear, D-Link, etc... ?
