Linksys Issue

Post by burneco »

I have had 2 different linksys routers, and both required me to unplug, and cold boot them approx. once a week. I think they have a problem clearing the Router Cache. Anyway, once a week is tolerable. Once a day, is not. If you have contacted tech support they will instruct you on getting a replacement (you might have to go through the steps with them).

Sounds like a firmware prob to me. Can you access their firmware archives and downgrade the firmware?

What is the deference between the US versions and International?

I believe if they say EU in the name after the router model number, I believe it means International. If youre in the US then dont use it. Then again, dont quote me on that. You might want to call Linksys and verify that...
