Re: Problems and No firmware from manufacturer. i can attest to the horrible software on this device. it came with 1.00.20 firmware and out of the box the following was wrong. 1) did not provide correct dns servers to DHCP clients ... gave it's own ip so hosts could not resolve 2) packets dropped frequently and ping times for some packets longer than 1second 3) overheating and crash i think. even with new bios 1.00.29 DNS/DHCP issue exists and the router still hangs and has to be power cycled.. and oh yeah i'm qualified to write their firmware code... i downloaded 1.00.37 beta from linksys... as soon as i get my linux box back up i'm compiling this baby... if i break it, i'll return this to staples.. what a piece of crap... good idea though. |
