I bought this router the other day. I notice something that is a little weird.
When I first wake up and try to check my email, the internet is dead.
I have an alternative suggestion - I apologise if you find it unhelpful - but
why don't you sent this router back and get a Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH, instead?
The Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH ships with dd-wrt Linux pre-installed. I plan to flash one with
OpenWRT and configure it from the command-line. If I have problems with it I'll then be able
to post "I tried this iptables command but ..." or look in /var/log and see what's
going on. You may find it works just fine with the default firmware& Buffalo's fancy
GUI, but the great thing about Linux is that you can fix it yourself!

IIRC the guys in #openwrt don't think much of current Linksys models.
You have already wasted a bunch of time on this problem. Why waste any more?
The TP-Link TP-Link TL-WR1043ND is also quite well-regarded, I think - it has
lower specifications, but is a bit cheaper. The Netgear WNDR3700 is considered
cream of the commodity routers right now (for its CPU speed and dual channel
wifi, IIRC) but is a bit more expensive.

That may be plan b. My car started acting up the other day and I may
have to get yet another distributor for it. I replaced it a couple
years ago. They seem to have a batch of sensors that have a short life
span. Anyway, that may have to be put off to later if I need to buy
something for my car.
It looks like they are wireless. I didn't see a wired one. I use wired
because I live just a few miles from a Air Force Base. They fly right
over the house. They even knock out my satellite signal sometimes. I
was told that having things wired should be fine but wireless could be
fun to deal with. They fly close enough to me that I can see a helmet
in the plane. They even wave at times. lol
Then again, we did try to do this through my old Linux puter. I
couldn't get that to work either. When it comes to networking, I'm a
idiot. I know how to hook it up but that's about it. It would be neat
to learn tho.
