    Connectivity Problems

    By TonyR  Nov 19, 2006

    Pros: It's cheap price wise

    Cons: flakey performance

    The old adage you get what you pay for applies to this boundary node router.

    It's main problem is with ISP's
    that use "floating" IP addresses.
    i.e. your local telco assigns
    an IP addresss to your dsl modem. Now as long as you maintain traffic over that IP
    addrs. no problem...BUT IF you
    don't have any activity for a long period of time ..OR your
    IP address lease expires Then
    that's when this router FAILS.
    for whatever reason (made in china??) It cannot "learn" the
    new IP address and when you try to connect to the internet, it fails, One has to go thru a dull
    litany of reboot the DSL modem,
    reboot the router, and reboot
    your computers, THEN you might
    get on after several attempts.

    The linksys help desk will have
    you download the latest firmware revision and reset
    the router's base configuration ad nauseum....AND the problem STILL occurs. So after a replacement router and still
    experiencing the same problems
    I would not reccomend this
    router to anyone, unless of
    course you're a glutton for
    punishment.
