Have to reset frequently, have to reset sometimes

While this wireless router is inexpensive and does the job, but having to reset it frequently (like every 2 or 3 days) makes it less than optimimal. I have used Linksys routers on DSL and Cable, and find the problem on both. Makes me think it is the router, as I have not had the problems with other brands. I would spend a little more money and try another brand.

Have you called tech support about this issue? You may need to flash the firmware with a newer version. I have had the same issue with select Linksys gear in the past and flashing the firmware always took care of it. On another not a little more information about the product would be helpful. Vincent
