Review on πŸ“Ά Foscam FR305 WiFi Wireless 802.11N 300Mbps Router/Repeater with Amplified 2x Range & WPS Button by Pete Hahn

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I bought 2 at the end of December 2015 - BOTH NOW DEAD

I bought 2 of these in the second half of December 2015 and one has already died. It worked ROCK SOLID for 6 weeks, then the internal radio started to wobble, and then it finally started refusing IP addresses for wireless connected devices. I passed a month return so I guess I screwed up. I'm already buying a replacement for a second FR305 as I can see from the negative reviews that several others are having similar issues. I tried factory reset, flashing and sending 2 emails to "Support" in Foscam. No authorization, just a bad router and "Sorry". DO NOT buy this unless you need a one off product for a weekend or so. UPDATE: Both are now dead in less than 90 days! If you buy this you will love it at first but you are throwing your money away!

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • too stupid
