No connection loss for 6 months! [Posted on 2008-03-05]
I have had trouble with routers losing connection in the past. Since I have frequent web meetings from home it was essential that I have a reliable connection to the web. After a lot of research and much consideration I bought this router. I haven't had a problem since.
It took some time to install but the main problem was getting through the comcast modem, once that was figured out, then no problem whatsoever.
I called the buffalo support, was on hold 10-15 minutes but he walked me through the steps and we determined that everything was fine on the router's end and then on to connecting through the comcast modem. Took some time, and had a friend come over to assist and once the "code" was broken it's been great.
I can say that at least when I called the Buffalo support number I did not get a man named "Sam" with an accent. Well, the guy had an accent but it was a Texas accent.
I do know that I will never purchase another Net Gear router!
Good Hardware Bad Firmware [Posted on 2008-03-06]
Okay, I purchased this router just before the supplier stopped selling it in November (more you can find on Buffalo's site).
The router was okay, the wireless used to die every few days... can not make connection... Could not figure out why...
Then one wise user suggested to replace the firmware (that voided my warranty for sure) with dd-wrt or Tomato. I decided to implement Tomato.
Now it works like a charm... The fault is with the software that buffalo supplied.
DD-WRT! [Posted on 2008-03-20]
Hardware is rockhard stable, put DD-WRT firmware on this router and you get a really sweet host of features only found in high dollar pro-equipment, Stateful packet inspection firewall, wireless bridging, out of the box dynamic DNS support, uPNP that _just works._
Take heed Buffalo, just make awesome hardware, let the open firmware people write and maintain the firmware/software...
All that being said, it's too bad buffalo isn't producing more of these, seems like high demand has pushed the price to twice what it was when I got my hands on this router last November, 07.
Love it and it works! [Posted on 2008-03-25]
I purchased this because of all the rave reviews on here. I had never set up a wireless before and it was quite simple.
The connection speed is fast and far-reaching! I have it sitting downstairs in the livingroom and I can take my laptop upstairs to my room and the signal is just as strong. It never drops out and I've never had to reboot it. I would highly recommend this wireless router.
9 months of uninterrupted performance [Posted on 2008-08-13]
After trying Netgear's WGR624 and Linksys' WRT54g, this is the only router I've ever owned that has never required a manual reboot. Stock firmware, 9 months and counting.
