I thought a new thread would be best... Didn't want to deny someone of some well earned EZ-Bucks...
Have a problem... Similar to Dave's problem and I was going to add to his thread instead of making a new one... Anyway... Both my EZB4 will connect to the network no problem, however EZ Builder can only find one of them at a time... meaning I cannot have more than one ezb4s connected to EZ Builder at any given time. The scan tool will only find one ezb... usually the first one powered on... Long story short and judging by what Dave went through I am guessing its a router issue... I have an all in one router/moden ... an SMCD3GN from SMC.... I rent it from my local cable company by the way... So my question is should I turf it and just use a modem from them and then buy my own router?... Also need to mention that I barely get 30ft from the router when I start to get disconnect problems so range sucks...
Thanks

And it's an abuse of the credit system
Thanks Doc
I had the Asus RT-56. It was a great router! We don't use it anymore now that there are so many devices on our network. We now use the new Linksys WRT1900AC at the EZ-Robot Office. It is expensive but great for a large network. At home I use a $30 D-Link
Thanks, more router research needed....

I have two of them running here at my shop. One on each internet provider. Good range and they work well.
There are a lot of routers which the firmware supports, check out the database.
But any decent router will do. The main thing to check really though is if it supports static IPs based on MAC address, this will help a lot if you have a lot of robots running around the place which may be turned on and off a lot. It will pretty much eliminate the requirement for searching for the IP each time it changes since it'll never change.
I personally use a Buffalo WZR-HP-AG300H at home which is awesome (great strength & range, no problems picking it up when I'm all the way outside in the car tinkering around with things I shouldn't be) but it was expensive.
At work I use a Linksys WAG54GS router but work wifi is only really used for phones since all PCs are hardwired, still it gives no problems and great range (I know when my boss is almost back in the office as his phone connects to the WiFi which gives me chance to close the EZ-Robot website before he notices...)
