firmware corrupted after power failure...
Pros
it did work (for about three months)
Cons
a labyrinth bureaucracy in place of warranty service..... a Kafka inspired nightmare......
Recommended it?
No
After a power failure, our wrt54g would no longer work...it had a flashing power LED ....which means "firmware corrupted".....I printed out some 13 pages from the Linksys web site and spent more than an hour dutifully following the instructions....I was able to delete the old firmware but the new firmware would not install.....
Linksys has refused three times to give me an RMA number....you need one in order to return the unit....they want me to spend another hour on the phone talking to someone in India.....(this is evidently a cost saving measure designed to discourage people from having their units repaired under warranty) -- they only earn about 75 cents an hour in India.
I don't pretend to be a technical expert at router repair....but I shouldn't need to be in order to have my unit repaired under warranty....
