Are any modifications to the router necessary? And if so, can you describe what is to be done? I don't want to void the warranty to my router.

Yes there a few small changes. Go to Raizer's website to see. It been awhile since I made the changes. I have had no problem with the router and am happy that I made the change. The changes only effect the height adjustment.

yes, you will have to go into the bowels of the router and I'm guessing that will void the warranty

Yes, you will have to do some modification to your router but I doubt it will affect the warranty. I can not answer to what has to be done without knowing what brand router you have --- my experience is with a 3.5HP Bosch ( sorry I don't remember the model #). You should contact Bob at RouterRazer.

Just started having this problem too, multiple times per day. Had internet tech come out - he said it's not the cable modem or internet connection, so it must be the router or the yellow cord that connects the router to the modem. He said the cord was wrong anyway - it was for a DSL, so he replaced it. Not sure if that will fix the problem though. I'd hate to have to buy a new router.

Firmware like this is usually tested well enough to prevent what you are seeing. Go back to the previous version though. I doubt that you could have actually broken the router with the firmware update.

I have gone through 2 of them that lasted just outside of the warranty period, so I do not consider this a good product. I switched to Asus routers, and have had better luck so far.

Happened to me once too.. Just try to reconnect your cable modem unplug the router.. Don't reconnect the router until the cable modem is back to normal

I would not buy this one. I replaced mine with a TP-Link router and it is a way better router and really easy to connect to. I left feed back on the one I bought to.Have a nice dayTed

kerry, i had a lot of help to get this thing going. between radiowerks and my teckie. if i understand my teckie right, once you change anything on the router, you start all over. off the top of my head i would do a total reset of everything. also move the module to the opposite side of the thermostat. i did have my module replaced. i hope this was of some help! glenn funck 602 992 6667

did you do the step to check the signal between the router and the repeater? That needs to be good. Also, what did you name it --- the book says name it different than the router (but pass through security). I notice sometimes with my Netgear it seems like it takes forever to connect --- other times it connects quickly. I'm leaning towards what the other reviewers say --- move the router so not to need the repeater. Previously I had a LinkSys repeater, it worked about the same, just ok at best.

So far, I can't get the WiFi to connect on mine. I've done the firmware upgrade, but that didn't help. It sees the router with a strong signal, but won't connect when I enter the code. So, I'm using the cable for now, but if that's all that works, I should take this one back and get the one without WiFi that is $70 less.

As others have pointed out, this device requires drivers from Netgear, so I think this is not product to solve your problem. Have you considered moving your existing router to improve signal strength or adding a second router, I added a second wireless router and my dead zones were gone.

More than likely its your router, I tried everything I could to avoid buying another one cause I was having the same problem with my Linksys Router and as soon as I changed routers the problem was solved.

My recommendation is to follow the directions EXACTLY, step by step, if it says turn everything off, do it. I have set up plenty of wireless routers and assumed I knew what I was doing, and couldn't get it to work. Then I went back and followed the directions step by step and it's worked like a charm ever since.

Just saw your message, I too was originally thrilled with this router until it started giving me headaches a few weeks into owning it. I just updated my review with the following, maybe it will help you as well if you're still experiencing issues: ****Update 2/17/11***** The router worked great for about 3 weeks, then suddenly I started having significant range and connection problems for any of my networked components more than a few feet away from the router. I noticed this was particularly bad in the evenings when I would see many other neighboring wireless networks popping up in the scan for local networks. After first fearing that I too may have gotten a defective unit, I did a little research online and realized that changing a few default settings related to channels may help. I first went in an changed the network settings from mixed to N-only (5ghz) and G-only (2.4ghz) since I really didn't have any B or A wireless devices to suppport. Secondly, and most importantly, I went in and changed the default channel settings for both networks. Originally I had both channels set to 'auto', but I changed the channel width on them both to be 20mhz, and then I made sure to select different standard channels for each. Voila - great range and connection speeds were restored! The router has been working great for the past week since I changed these settings with no further issues.

I'd first unplug it and plug it back into the outlet. When we had problems this cleared it up -- consider it a reboot. If this doesn't work try another outlet. Not all outlets are the same (there may be a problem with the outlet itself). If the problem still persists it could be a signal problem -- for me, that means that it can't get the signal from your router to extend it. Otherwise, I'm stumped.

I have had mine for about 8 months and have not had any problems, check your router settings and also if it continues you should call the Asus help line.

I'm fairly positive every Netgear router comes with a lifetime warranty and they have a support line just for the router. So the plan I would go with would be calling them up and telling them about your problems with the product. The likely case is you can send it in and get a new one sent back free shipping.

This router does not have qos as far as I am aware. I am currently using the router and getting a fair amount of buffer bloat. I looked for any qos information for it and was unable to find any.
