I bought this high-end router to replace the excellent WRT54GL which accuses the weight of years technologically.
Positive side, the devastating look of this router: the worthy heir of the WRT54GL. ALL OPERATING inspires confidence and quality.
Unfortunately for him the positives sarrêtent there because once installed and configured the router we quickly disillusioned:
- Wifi Scope worse than the WRT54GL!
- Close the WiFi connectivity issues with some devices like my Samsung Smart TV (UE46F6770) and a Nokia Lumia 630 and 635. The connection takes at most a few seconds and then disconnected from the Wifi! Even being 1 or 2 meters from the router!
- Wifi connection Concerns also with 2 laptops equipped with Intel Centrino Wireless N card: it takes time so take 2 3 times to get to connect to WiFi.
- Finally lorsquon manages to maintain a connection, the speed of it is not permanent!
- Sizeable heater router (the same is equipped with a small fan)
I want to say that I work in the same linformatique and devices work seamlessly with my WRT54GL or with WiFi dune BBox3 (Box of my Internet operator in Belgium).
Despite a firmware update and many hours spent in the config WiFi and the Linksys forums among others, he was never ny way to solve these problems.
Is this an isolated case of bad router?
Or a more general problem of this router?
The acquisition of Linksys Belkin would it cause this router missed?
I lean toward the more general problem in view of various negative reviews on Amazon.com particular. This is clearly unacceptable a router that price !!!
Fortunately, thanks to Amazon, I was able to easily return the router and get a refund.
