| The boss got one last year to set up as a link for large test equipment and a few laptops.
The original firmware was sucky. It's now on 1.0.03 which fixed the Linksys WPS fiasco and allows more than a marginal "AP-only" mode.
It's locked down to few features but I must admit it runs flawlessly in this environment. |

 Jammers join:2009-01-15 Tillamook, OR | I just had the router delivered to me today. I can't find a power button to turn the unit on and off. Of course the unit comes on when i plug in the adapter but i don't see a on off switch. |

 | From a picture I've seen here »home.cisco.com/en-eu/products/routers/E3200 it appears to be adjacent to where you plug in the power connector. |

| said by Jammers:It's not like this router is a low end model. Most folks run their routers 24/7, so a power switch is not considered a biggie. In a typical year, I doubt that my router spends more than a few hours off, outside of a power outage. -- Deeds, not words |
