Not really and it would probably cost more to repair than replace anyway. > Personally, I am going to stick with Linksys. Good luck. I was pretty soured in Linksys wireless products initially. Admittedly, it was their first generation stuff but you know the old saying, you only get to make a first impression once. I have been pretty faithful to their wired line but now even that seems to be going down hill I have 4 SX41 VPN routers in use and collectively, they already made 4 trips in for warranty replacements and I'm waiting for #5 to arrive now. I thought the takeover by Cisco would be a good thing, but apparently not. > Curiously, does anyone think that 2years is a good "life time" for this > product ??
