Not what I expected

This review is from: Linksys WRT150N Wireless-N Home Router IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g, IEEE802.11n Draft
Pros:
Can't think of any right now.
Cons:
Wireless connection required a call to Linksys Tech support for an hour of help. Connection is spotty at best, completely lost at its worst. Despite much higher speed test results, no appreciable difference in the speed for every web surfing and email.
Overall Review:
I bought this as an upgrade to an old wired HPNA router. I got the combo deal with the draft-N wireless adapter. If it wasn't such a hassle putting everything back the way it was, I would have done it already and sent this thing back. I have the router in a bedroom and the laptop in another room on the same floor and the signal is typically just "good." One move in the wrong direction and the signal strength changes. I have the latest firmware. I've called Linksys again for some optimization help and the changes don't seem to do anything. My wireless radar shows neighbors's signals stronger than this thing's. I don't want to use the DD-WRT (as somjust in case it ends up worse. At least at this point, it *sometimes* works. You shouldn't need 3rd party firmware to get this going working properly. I expected so much more from draft-N. If you buy this to replace another router set up, keep the other stuff handy and the packaging all ready for this thing -- It might be going bac
