I dont know why but linksys looks like thay like Starving ther Wireless Routers and Ap's of POWER. thay supply you with a 1 to 1.5 amp "Wallwart" Powersupply way under what you need . just look a the Product spec sheet lets say just for a wpc300n PCMCIA WiFi card. JUST the Card. Power Consumption TX: <900mA (Maximum) RX: <700mA (Maximum) http://downloads.linksysbycisco.com/downloads/WPC300N_ds,0.pdf


Now we need to look at what the BCM4705 CPU Power Consumption is 5v @ 2.4w = 0.48 amp just under 1/2 amp. http://www.broadcom.com/collateral/pb/4705-PB01-R.pdf


The Switch BCM 5325 Power Consumption is 5v 1.4W = 0.27999999999999997 amp http://www.broadcom.com/collateral/pb/5325-PB05-R.pdf

and the Ram Power Consumption is well im not shure what the ram power Consumption is .

Plus Remember the +/- % that is NEEDED Normaly 5% to 10% And you shuld have a power supply that has a power rating of At least 5% Over what you need to keep things cool.

So this is the power needed just for this item at Minimum !! sofar

900ma

0.27999999999999997 Amp

0.48 amp

if you Notice your signal looks like a Electrocardiogram readout on a Failing Heart..

Try a 5 Amp Power supply !

!!!!!!STAY WITH THE SAME VOLTAGE!!!!!!!

Other Routers have this problem To!!

This is a thread were you can find out More Info if you need .
