WHAT A PIECE OF JUNK

Pros: Speed for the 5 minutes it worked
Cons: Where should I start...... Setup router all worked great I setup everything and all worked fine, changed settings etc. all still working fine. Let it run and went upstairs to watch a movie using network and everything streamed fine. went to use my internet after movie and wireless and wired down. ALL THIS WAS DONE WIRED NOT WIRELESS Rebooted modem and router modem locks but router shows internet down and 0.0.0.0 wont dhcp modem. Test modem direct to pc sure enough modem working fine Test modem with my old router all working fine Hook back up WD router and still all 0.0.0.0 router wont dhcp modem clikc renew like 10 times nothing. Factory reset WD router. Router working and modem DHCP and IP given. setup router settings again and rebooted. No internet again. Factory reset WD router again. Router working and modem DHCP and IP given. This time I left all settings default and rebooted router. No internet again. Factory reset modem several times and tried different settings etc. After rebooted internet always down. After 10 or so factory resets and setups I gave up and disconnected and using my old router again. I know my modem is fine and my PC as its working perfectly to do this review using my old router. with WD router connected after reboot I cant even login to modem again. I thought I was getting a great deal for price since was cheaper to get with hdd than without. I have a 24 port switch with wired network so the extra 3 ports don't matter to me but all I got was a few hours of frustration. Calling newegg on Monday to return this router, I have never been so discussed with WD ever. Western Digital should stick to making hard drives which they are great at making. Looked around internet and seems tons of people having same issue I experienced. I updated to latest firmware before setting anything up, so I know isn't the router firmware.
Overall Review: Avoid, Avoid, Avoid
