#Netgear n900 dd wrt download software#

Also, the Netgear does not even supply the utility needed to flash the firmware - your sent to 1 of 2 website, then need to figure out which of the software options you need on your own! Not to mention there are NO activity lights on the switch ports or front. Router came with corrupted fIrmware! I used Netgears oun process to flash the latest firmware, but am not convinced it’s fully working as the router takes longer than i think it should to boot up, and acts flacky. Each one is not a deal breaker, but those 3 (plus a few more), is too much to put up with. I initially went with LinkSys, a top-of-the-line product. Strange! There are activity lights on the switch ports, but the ONLY light on the front is a slowly pulsating LinkSys logo on the top front!!! WTH!

Also, it will not let you access your port forwards from inside the network - going outside to your cable modem for testing. To access it, one needs to bypass the router and connect it directly to the desktop! Others also complained about that. It would not let me access my new SB6141 Motorola cable modem for some reason. If you have 1 g device on the network, your N devices will be 54g max. This is inexperience and poor programming - simple as that. It amazing me that people fresh out of college with maybe 1 to 2 years of work related experience are concidered experts in the field! Whereas persons with years of experience are swept aside in favor of these young pups. I’m back on my old reliable Syslink WRT54G.Īny suggstion that I should have contacted tech support is insulting! Why would ANY router turn off one bands security by disableing SSI Braodcast on the other band? OMG! Fail! I reset the router one final time, disconnected it, and it’s going back to Amazon not as a defective unit, but as a defected product hardware/firmware. I spent about 2 hours testing this trying to find a solution. I tested this twice more with the same results. When I turn off ‘SSI Broadcast’ on the 5hz network, WPA2-Personal security on the 2.4hz was turned off leaving it unsecured and open!!! I had to reset the router to re-enable as it i could not re-enable security on the 2.4hz network either re-enableing SSI Broadcast on the 5hz, or, by changing the 2.4hz security.
