You know, just trying to be nice and avoid hassles later when trying
to provide remote support over the phone. WRT54G2v1, the most recent
example, is now a 104MB download executable that needs to be installed
on the host PC. No freak’n way do I trust Linksys/Cisco/Netgear
enough to install a massive program on my laptop only to upgrade a
router. Google can often find firmware but nearly impossible to know
if it is the latest version and forget matching release notes. WTF
are these guys thinking? Ok, so I know that they are thinking. Why
not just flat out say “screw you—that router is too old—we want new
money from you buy something current”. Do customers really want to
buy a new router from a company that just went out of their way to
remove firmware from their support web site? It begs the question of
how long is the company going to support the new router? These guys
are dense.

The information in the video may be fine, but I have a bad taste in my
mouth right now regarding DLink. Most of the customer routers I found
on my network with port 1900 open to the Internet turned out to be
DLink. That’s just stupid, having UPnP not only enabled by default
but enabled toward the WAN side.
But then I find most of the DLink routers aren’t getting firmware
updates anymore, the only fix is to disable UPnP.

And then customers who can upgrade their FW find all their settings
are lost. Way to go, DLink.
Maybe Belkin will buy them too, and they can brand everything Blinksys.

Instaiing the router in corner is sometimes better. Think corner
