Fix: Belkin N1 Vision Router Freezes When Transferring Large Files
GENERALLY
Our Belkin N1 Vision router is 2+ years old and generally works fine and without interruption. Some set up information from the router:
Firmware version: F5D8232-4_WW_1.00.16
Boot version: v1.02
Hardware: F5D8232-4 v1000
Encryption: WPA2-TKIP
DHCP is enabled on the router to support five clients and one wireless printer.
PROBLEM
Transferring a large amount of files between computers, e.g., 250 megs of MP3 files, initially works fine. But after transferring about half of the files and data, the router ends all connections to all clients, appearing to freeze up and stop all its activity. We have to reboot the router by unplugging and replugging the power to the router. Thereafter, any amount of data transfer, even small files, cause the router to seize up, requiring another re-boot. Any attempts to transfer data after this point fail.
SOLUTION

Any attempts to transfer data after this point fail.
SOLUTION
- Start a browser window and go to the following address: http://192.168.2.1/wukongjiuwo.html
- A console appears providing command line control of the router.
- Beneath the word "Console" is a long, rectangular box in which the user may enter commands, and next the box is an "Enter" button.
- Enter the letters "ps" into the command line (small letters not caps, without quotes) and click the "Enter" button next to the command line box.
- Router data appears in the large box below the command line.
- Under the column entitled "Command," identify the line with the acronym "NTP" (among other things). To the left of this acronym in the same line, under the column "PID" is the process ID number. for example, on my router the PID for this line was 768.
- In the command line box, enter the word "kill [PID]" and click the Enter button next to the command line. For example, on my router I entered "kill 768". This command line apparently stopped process ID 768 which included the NTP process.
- You may need to reapply the foregoing steps every time you restart your router, before you start any big file transfers.
- After completing these steps, I tried my large file transfers again and they worked without any further router freeze ups.

- For more threads on this issue, run the following search in Google: +wukongjiuwo +PS +NTP (the plus signs produce only pages that contain these search terms).

Re: 5k's in the Chicago Metro Area, Oct to Dec
Tony, I don't think you will catch me running outside in December. The veterans run or the trick or treat trot sound interesting with both the 5k and 10k options. Let me know what the group decides and I might try to make one of these.
Rich
As promised, I compiled a list of weekend 5ks in the general metro area that are almost all chip timed, mostly fundraisers, and appear to have a good turnout. I'm trying to space my races a month apart, so I put a star next to the races I'm leaning toward signing up for, but haven't committed to any one race yet. I'm game for just about any of them. So please let me know which, if any, of the races below you're interested in, or if you find other worthwhile races.
I'm planning to do 10k runs approximately monthly starting January 2010.
Best regards,
Tony

5k's
Below are links to various 5k races around town in the coming months. I think I'll sign up for at least one a month to keep motivated. Consider which ones you might be interested and let me know.
Also, next time I see you I have your goodie bag from the Terrapin 5k, including your t-shirt, bottle, etc. I did, however, use the tags on your bib to get an extra beer and pizza!
