Title: Faulty product - problems with DHCP
Product review: I purchased this router a while ago. After installing it and following the setup instructions, I found out the router wasn't obtaining an IP address from the cable network. I tried both using the router's MAC address, and making the router "clone" the PC's MAC address; none of them worked. Then I upgraded the router's firmware to its latest version; that didn't help either.At first, I thought the issue had to do with my cable company, but after reverting to my original configuration (PC directly connected to the cable modem), the DHCP problems were solved. Checking in Netgear's forums and in some other sites around the Internet, I've found many customers with similar issues.I decided to discontinue using the router, and to purchase a Linksys WRT54G, which has been working flawlessly.Think twice before purchasing this Netgear router... for the same money, you'll be able to find a better product.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
