Review on ๐Ÿ“ถ Wireless-N Router - Cisco-Linksys E1000 by Dave Seawell

Revainrating 3 out of 5

auto setup error

One of the strengths of this router was the auto setup. Insert the installation disc, connect the cables as instructed, and programming should take the guesswork out of the process. A few minutes later, I got an error message that just said the installation failed. After I disconnected and tried again, not only did the installation fail, but I couldn't connect to the internet. My IP address has changed, resulting in a response from my computer. After spending far more time with my ISP's technicians than I would have liked, I was able to get online, but only in Safe Mode with Networking. Then I called Cisco Technical Support and went in circles for several hours. The Cisco tech seemed to think the issue was resolved since I was able to use the router in safe mode with networking enabled. I had to explain to him why that is not acceptable. Then he said he would escalate my issue and I should get a call in 3-7 days. All I can say is I'm glad I kept working on it myself and eventually everything worked properly because I never got the promised call back.
