Review on Enhanced Buffalo AirStation N600 Gigabit Dual Band HighPower Open Source DD-WRT Wireless Router (WZR-600DHP) by Jason Tinnen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Complete junk

This router is a waste of money. The first block failed. Wired network connections on the router will randomly lose network connectivity and you will need to restart the router to get it working again. I returned the first unit under warranty and received a replacement. Exactly the same problem was. When I asked for a refund due to an apparent system issue with their router, they refused. They also refused to send me another replacement, reasoning that my network must have caused the router to fail. I bought this device because it was an upgrade to N Wifi and advertised as open source firmware. It turns out that while the firmware is open source, it's actually a proprietary version of Buffalo and you can't just take the DD-WRT firmware and install it on this router. Since then I've switched back to my trusty Linksys WRT54GL with DD-WRT firmware and haven't had any network connectivity issues. I will never buy products from this company again.
