WRT610N

This is a lovely router with nice spec let down drastically by very poor software the setup disc froze so, i was forced to install it manually. The default settings never worked and i couldn''''t connect up on the wireless, I had to alter nearly all the setting, after about 4 hours i got it to work, (TIP before setting up, reset the router) after about about 5 hours running (hot day) the router dropped everything wired network, internet, wireless, the lot. Pulled the power on it and reset the modem and it worked again, only to fail again. I''''ve a nasty feeling the unit overheats :( Linksys have released a patch but from all reports it makes things even worse, so i''''m not installing the patch until the next one. In conclusion, unless you hold a networking degree and live in Iceland or some other very cold country avoid this WRT610N like the plague, i paid a lot of money for thing and it let me down. I purchased the WRT610N because it seemed a fast router promising the earth, and that''''s what I got..... Dirt
