Well the good news is that they sent me a brand new router. The bad news is that they upgraded me to a new router that doesn't use DDWRT so now I have no monitoring control at all.

On a side note, I'm tempted to install DD-WRT on my new Netgear R7000. The stock firmware has some "issues".

the new routers wifi is faulty so now they are going to send me another replacement. This time they are going to send me back the duplicate to the one I actually sent in so I will have my DDWRT back.

It's like leading off the ball game with a bunt. Maybe this time it'll work.

Would anyone like to purchase a brand new never opened BUFFALO AirStation HighPower N600 Gigabit Simultaneous Dual Band Router (WZR-600DHP2).
They are just sending me the exact same router again instead of the original DHP with DDWRT citing that they no longer manufacture that model and have no refurbs. Since it doesn't have the DDWRT firmware and I have already had a bad experience with this model, I really will have no use for this router. My out of warranty Belkin will work just fine for that now. Sounds like it arrives Monday. Supposedly corporate is going to call me to discuss if I have any further options aka refund or next model up, but I don't have high hopes on either.

Dude, I've been working with Netgear for a week with what appears to be an ARP issue in the R7000.
I've tried 3 different firmwares, done all of the troubleshooting, and even taken packet captures with Wireshark and they don't have any means for me to send them the files. Their support site only supports 10MB attachments and they don't have an externally facing FTP server. They actually asked me to install Teamserver, which is remote control/emeeting software so they could download the files directly from my PC. I ended having to setup an FTP server. Unbelieveable that I've basically done 100% of the work in an effort for them to fix these issues. |

I've used Netgear for many years and beta tested several products, including some that actually made it to the market with improvements based on my and others feedback.
They've been really good to me over the years but I'm getting REALLY frustrated with them. I didn't sign up for a beta test when I paid $200 for this router. I'm not new to the game, I know that things don't ever work out of the box but this thing has significant issues with basic functions that should never fail... |
