Title: Linksys - Nevermore!
Review: My second BEFSR81 just crapped out. Probable hardware failure. About 24 months old. Typical of Linksys - no diagnostics. Just several weeks of gradually worsening network drops, freezes, resets, reboots and resulting hairpulling, frustration, disappointment. The only guess from Linksys support "all 8 port LED's blinking is not a good sign .... probably a hardware failure." On top of everything, the Webex hosted chat session with Linksys support kept freezing.After 15 years of loyalty to the Linksys brand, I am throwing in the towel. This is the third time I have dealt with a Linksys product failure in which there are no diagnostics, no support, no replacement. The user is left to their own wits dealing with the gradual peformance degradation and random network drops and freezes before the product's premature death.
