I’m an hour and a half into customer support and it still isn’t working. You would think that a someone in customer support would have encountered a static IP at some point in the past.

The router only works intermittently and interferes with the cable signal to the modem. I had to return it.

If you have old (3 or 4 years old connection) done with DSL modem of SpeedStream 4100 you may have problems with Linksys. Upon installation Linksys program informed me that everything fine, Vista told me network is good, but of course I can’t use their (Linksys) secure web site in order to change setting or configure it completely. I understand that my old DSL modem or AT@T is at some fault (incompatibilities with Linksys). But why Linksys doesn’t fix it. Or at least they should write on a package “don’t try to connect with old modems that run on DSL”.

This is a bad company. I purchased a wireless router from them and, truth be told, it never really worked right. The speed was ok, but it was impossible to set up without tech support and every so often it would simply stop working. When that happened I would be forced to call tech support and spend 30-60 minutes on the phone fighting with them about resetting the router. I recently purchased a new computer and decided to save a little money by moving this router to it. When I called tech support I was told that the router was out of its warranty period and they could not help me… unless I would pay them to. That’s right, I would have to pay for the assistance on their product – a working product because it was not under warranty.

So be warned that you are only buying the option to use Linksys’ products for a limited time – that is if you have any problems whatsoever that require tech support. I am now trying a Trendnet. Let’s see if they are any better.
