Very important info given.....
"However about once every 3 days the wireless light goes out on the DG824M
and the signal disappears completely on both cards"
end quote
The wireless indicator for the transmition of "RF" signals is the LED (like
a lolly pop) if that goes out...you guessed it...so does your WiFi..
Defo a fault of the unit..... send it back from where it came!!!
I have never had that happen to me...(yet) I must admit though, the unit
DOES get quite hot..
I like the security features of the DG and the ease of setting it up.. A
good working order DG824M in my opinion is a very good buy...
However, they have updated the unit to 54g..look out for that one if you
have the option to get your money back. As for a few quid more you get:
DG834G
