Title: Version 5 Really Is Awful
Review: Other reviews here mention that v5 of this router is a bad buy, and I can certainly confirm that that is the case. Since I wasn't planning on using any third-party firmware, and wasn't planning to use the router for anything exotic, I thought the stock Linksys firmware would be adequate. It wasn't. The router crashed three times while I was clicking through the web admin tool, and (Linksys) firmware updates refused to work.I returned it for the WRT54GL model, and replaced that model's Linksys firmware with the third-party DD-WRT. Installation was painless, and the web admin tool is actually easier to use. I can't attest to the stability of the stock firmware on the L model, because I didn't keep it around long, but supposedly it's better than the firmware on the v5. If you're not looking to replace it with something from a third party, though, it might not be worth the trouble.
Is the review positive or negative?
