So far, so good! Small security issue.

Update: It's only been a few days and this inexpensive router is still going strong. I can't count on one hand the number of times I've had to disconnect my router and modem, and I have no reason to believe the router was the problem. My initial reservations stand, but this is still a great purchase. First review: I've only tried it for a day and I think I love it. My expensive Belkin router, which was a few years old, started dropping connection to my VOIP (internet phone) interface after only a few hours. I replaced it with this one. Setup isn't exactly intuitive, but I've set up enough routers that it shouldn't be difficult. However, one thing I noticed is that after changing the login password and restarting the router, when I log in to the same browser on the same laptop, I am not prompted for the login password. I was afraid that anyone who logs in using the router's IP address could log in and make changes or view the passwords (because they appear in plain text after logging in), but when I tried to log in from another device Signing in from or even another browser on the same laptop required a password. That means if someone can't hack the Wi-Fi protocol or guess your password, if someone trying to hack into your system doesn't have physical access to the device you used to log into the router to to configure it you must be good. I think this should be changed so that the router requires a password even if you logged in from the same device you used before using the same browser. However, this can be beneficial for most users as they may forget their password. If your printer connects to your router and you were using a router with an IP address that starts with the number 10, you may need to factory reset the printer. and start over. Brother support helped me with this as I couldn't connect. Or you can change your IP address in the router. This router defaults to 192.168.xx for the router's home IP address. Anyone who can live with the limitations mentioned above will certainly be very satisfied with this router. If you found this review helpful, please click the YES button below.
