Overall Review:
I used to be a freelance networking specialist and have set up many systems before and never have I experienced so much difficulty with a wireless router. It has every possible issue that a router could possibly have. I ended up plugging in and setting up my 3-year-old Belkin again and in worked flawlessly in under two minutes.
I am unsure if I received a dud or what, because I purchased this only after seeing that this router had four eggs. I was going to return it on the grounds of "customer dissatisfaction", but since I will be out more than half what I paid for it because of return shipping, I will have to try something else to recover my loss.
