    Pros: OK if you can get it working

    Cons: Old firmware on router and poor customer service.

    Summary: Bought this referb on 10/31/09. It took a month to finally solve the problem. It had firmware v2.0.02 build 011. It set up quite easily with the cd. Then it would constatly, randomly drop the connection to the internet. would get the Explorer error can't find the page. Sometimes hitting refresh multiple times would bring up the page. After much frustration and re-installs, I found an old post on a fourm that said downgrading the fimware to v 2.0.2 build 008 would fix the problem. My son, who bought an identical router, did this and it worked. I spent over 1hr on the phone with Linksys support. They had me change lots of settings and I thought it was fixed, but it wasn't. They even asked me what version of firmware I had, and I told them v2.0.02 build 011. Never fazed them. The SOLUTION was. Go to Linksys website and download v2.0.03 build 007 dated Jul 12 2009, and install it. No problems since. Router works fine, but Linksys support does not.
