    @penguinwrangler Yes mine had a nice led screen on front with different views for bandwidth, wifi clients, time, etc. But it never got updates.

    There was once a good old day when Linksys was good...

    I run DD-WRT on a Netgear Blackhawk (D7000 iirc, not one of the new ones), and it's been solid. Of course Comcast decided to push a friendly firmware update to my cable modem this weekend which reset the config, took it out of bridge mode and re-enabled the modem's own DHCP and routing services (and Lord knows what else), taking me offline. Annoying (not to mention a potential security nightmare)... mostly because I spent an hour jacking around before it even occurred to me to login to the modem and check it's settings.

    Are you me? lol

    This happened to me a couple weeks ago - same setup, same software, different router.

    On one hand this is good news, but per previous discussions this really don't matter because anyone who's here on these forums shouldn't be using these devices. We should be doing real IP using things like the possibly slightly more expensive ERL, etc.
