| 1. Downloads hang unexpectedly after several minutes. Almost impossible to download more than several megabytes of files. Both HTTP and FTP show the same symptom.
2. In addition to number 1, the MSN messenger connection often resets unexpectedly, and the streaming audio/video connections often lose its connections and reconnect to the server.
3. The router itself often stalls. When it stalls, ping 192.168.1.1 command shows that there are no response from the router.
4. The router stalls when a client computer simultaneously request dhcp requests both for wired and wireless connections. For example, when I connect the ethernet cable into my laptop while the wireless connection is working, the router fails to assign a different IP address for the ethernet connection. After this, the router just stops responding. Linksys might better to separate the IP address fields for ethernet and wireless connection. Netgear routers do assign different IP addresses for wired and wireless connections. (192.168.0.1~50 for wired, 192.168.0.51~100 for wireless)
I'm much disappointed the new Linksys V4 wireless router... It's just destroying Linksys's brand value. I don't know how Linksys came to release this buggy product to the market.
Thanks for opening this thread. |
