Re: Who cares? I had already researched and decided to buy a Linksys router just before it was disclosed you could not use third party firmware to update the V5. I purchased online from Tiger Direct. Subsequently I learned about the inadequacies of the V5 router. Linksys did not disclose it and neither did Tiger Direct. Only after a lot of research and from this wonderful forum did I discover the router I was about to receive was a "dumbed down" version. They didn't even change the basic model number. They were sneaky. I must say, however, the router performs as advertised once I updated the firmware to the latest version. In their haste to "cheat" their customer, they released a broken, under performing product to unsuspecting customers. They lost a lot of good will in my opinion. |
