Being a pioneer? Thanks, but no thanks.

I will not be loved for this, but hey, never ever. Am not into that shit, sry. Go with the herd, learn from the best, use proven, well built technology. In the age of Internet, social networks and great thinkers one can join a team, increase value, but I don’t believe in doing magic from the ground up. Now move along, nothing else here.

Askey rta1310b adsl modem vs. Asus rx3041 gadget

Sunday, December 24th, 2006

The above mentioned adsl modem is given to all new users around here by T-Online. The modem is pure crap (no joking; see here and here for example), at home it died after a month or two, but now I have this garbage once again. It is a suicidal construction, but what really annoys me, is that it does not work with my Asus rx3041 router gadget: the router works with a D-Link modem, but this little bitch forcefully disconnects the router in approx fifteen minutes with PADT signals (which is bad). Now I either return to ffw or gotta pull Lemming together, my old Siemens Scenic Pro “server” to do the NAT magic – the internet provider (of course) does not support devices not sold by themselves. Thanks a lot.

So if you are here by looking for some info on these products, you should now: the modem really is that crappy and the router really isn’t that bad afterall. Happy winter holidays BTW…
