I miss RELIABLE Lynksys Products

The router is incredible when it works correctly. Ordered 1st one, had issues with wi-fi, it would stop working after a day or so, resets and reboots seldom helped. Was sent a 2nd advanced replacement, it was worse, never could get wi-fi to work, it would not even boot up without any devices hooked to it with wifi enabling. So I kept 1st one and called back again, they sent 3rd one, same issues with the wifi AND one of the usb ports would not recognize hdd that had worked fine on other 2. Sent 3rd one back and just gave up. I still have the 1st defective one. I was able to disable 5ghz wifi and get it to work reliable without it. All my research seems there is issues with the wifi drivers and the dual band. As far as the router, the mu-mimo is worth the upgrade alone from what I had been using. Maybe after the warranty runs out I put dd-wrt on it and see if does any better. It scared me when the first one arrived and it said Belkin on the outside of the box. They sure are NOT Lynksys anymore. I will say their policies and service were great though.Read full review
