Cake day: October 26th, 2025
  • Hey, I have the same thing for my second router that works as an extender, to cover some remote area. I auto-reboot it every 3 hours during the day (I don’t during the night). Sometimes, it stops transmitting data before the 3 hours mark, so I have to go and physically reboot it. It always helps, while there are very rare occasions when this software reboot does not help.

    I have no idea what’s going on. I’ve bought it cheap as a broken one, but re-flashing it to OpenWrt seems like solved all its issues. However, I’m not qualified to say there’s no issues with it. It’s just that from a user perspective, it works exceptionally well. I see no issues. Except this forced auto-reboot thing, but I think it could be me not understanding the networking properly, and doing something wrong / not optimal. It gets the signal wirelessly via 5 GHz band (for speed) and shares it via 2.4 GHz band (for the distance). I fixed some obvious mistakes with the help of a GPT, which seems to work better now. But I’m not really sure. Could be that it’s winter and it was cold in there, I have to see how it’ll behave during the summer.

    Honestly, I even started thinking maybe it has no issues now, and I can remove that cron job. But I think I can live with being offline for a minute or two a few times a day, when I’m in that remote location.

    Yeah, I mean. Tried to compliment your story with mine.

  • Oh, what a wonderful review! Thanks for that! Yes, there was an MX500, my first ever real mouse. I’ve bought it with my own money as a teenager, and coming from a poor background within the society where it was real hard to even find any job, that was very expensive, to pay like $50 for a mouse. My previous A4-Tech something mouse was ten times cheaper and I couldn’t play Quake with it, any quick turn would make it lag significantly. With MX500, I became a pro player with almost nobody playing better than me. (Not only because of the mouse.) I haven’t won any prizes to compensate for the mouse, but I’ve been using it for a really long time, and I still have it by the way. The left button doesn’t work, but I just hope I’d fix it one day (I don’t know how yet, but I hope I need to change some clicker or something like that). That mouse is of sentimental value for me now. I don’t have many other sentimental things in my life actually. Perhaps just that mouse, considering I migrated countries a couple of times. I wasn’t aware this mouse was of a value, I’ve been bringing it with me, even though it was broken. Now, I’m happy I have it though.

    A school friend, he had a 510, it was blue. And much lighter than a 500. I was ready to buy one, when I was looking for a replacement, but I couldn’t find neither 500, nor 510, nor 518. So, thanks for mentioning the new model, I’d search for it. Right now, I have a few Razer mice, specifically Naga and Death Adder. Both I like, yet they aren’t in a good shape, the Death Adder left button is broken too. But this time only because I bought it used. It served me for like 5 years. So considering the price … I’m happy about it. A guy sold it, telling me he had issues with games, so he was selling it to stop playing too much, and focusing on studying instead. I wasn’t playing any longer, but I preferred to use a used gamers mouse, instead of a new cheap office mouse.
