My original 7630 was great for the first year. Then I had nothing but problems. I think it didn't discipate heat very well - the metal heatsink was on the bottom of the unit, so heat would rise up through it. I found it slightly more stable when I ran the unit upside down! It got to a point where my ADSL downspeed was running at 40% of maximum, if I had wireless enabled. >on the upside, the tech support isn't bad at all, once you get past >level 1. > After lots of calls and chats on their instant messaging web component, they agreed to replace the unit. This was good service - they don't make the 7630 any more, so they gave me the newest equivalent, a 7633. They even agreed to send me the new one, before I sent the old one back, and then paid for return delivery. However, the 7633 is giving me more grief than the 7630. DHCP doesn't seem to work too well, Port Forwarding doesn't seem to work if I redirect to different ports, Web Management allows anyone to see details about the router, such as SSID, encryption type, etc, before they are requested to enter a password. The firmware is much worse than the model from 2 years ago (in fact, the help pages in the firmware are still for the previous model!).
