The Uptime Contest

How do you connect to that SSID?

just like any other been using it for at least 2 years across 3 asus routers, even windows mobile devices from 2008 upwards connect to it without any issues. i know, its a an "ilegal" SSID

That is a beauty SSID.

I forgot about this and missed the 365 mark...

 

[shabbs]

Nice one!

Most folks here run Asuswrt-Merlin and one person is constantly making this thread pointless - @RMerlin.

I'm going to get an out of support router, load it up and just leave it on my network. HA!

On snap!

Just dropped 35 days of uptime on my primary router, which for me must be close to a personal record (I simply didn't need any recent firmware builds tested on that router this past month).

If people want to shift to a different uptime contest, how about wifi connection time. I'll start, as an argument as to why I keep telling people to debug their junk rather than instantly blaming firmware updates whenever they have connection stability issues...

860 hours / 24 = 35 days - which is when that router was last rebooted...

 

[shabbs]

My longest connected device matches the router reboot too... 7+ days. A TP-Link IOT device - light switch.

At the office I lost my uptime due to a config change which restarted the bas**rd, but on another continent I have more running (nothing but ac68's) like this one for surveillance:

Oh hey there... finally crossed the 30-day threshold. Router still running the 386.2_4 Release. APs all doing fine on the 386.3 Alpha. Loving the QR code feature.

It wasn’t easy keeping this uptime while switching back and forth between Adaptive QoS and CAKE.

Sounds like Eric is going to push out a new release this weekend with the FragAttack and other critical pieces.

RIP uptime.

Sigh... new release... uptime has been reset. Restart the clock.

You play the game with a wrong router. In order to win this contest you need a 2010 router or older from a defunct manufacturer. Airlink101 is a good candidate. Make sure it doesn't have any DD-WRT options available. Plug it into 1KW UPS with 2 individually replaceable battery packs.

Need to dig up my RT-N66U and load it up. Set it and forget it.

No, won't work. You're just replacing @RMerlin with @john9527. Both won't allow you to win.

365 days, no UPS! Don't know how it made it this long.
