Title: Inherent defect in this product
Review: This is my second try. The first stopped its wireless function after 10 months. This second one has now gone 15, but stopped transmitting wireless signal yesterday. Looking at other reviews, you can see that there is a problem with this product. I cannot say anything about their other routers, but if you value reliability this one should be avoided.Late breaking news: On a lark, I updated the firmware (the cat 5 ports on the router still work) on March 24, 2009, and, voila, the wireless started working again! I find this almost incredible, and cannot imagine how it can be explained other than by a nefarious code that purposely was set to disable the wireless after a certain period! Talk about 'planned obsolescence'. Needless to say, this does not change my overall opinion of this router, but it does add a strong negative tint to the entire product line.
Is this product review negative?
