Thanks! Gil
I picked a version 5 also. It's terrible, even after updating the firmware. Very unstable; it would lose wireless connections several times a day.
I bit the bullet and bought a SonicWall TZ150W and haven't had a hitch since I finished installing it.
Googling shows many, many unhappy Version 5 customers, and not because they can't flash the firmware with their own OS. The v5 units simply crash a lot.
Well I feel a little better.... (but why should i?) I bought a WRT55AGv2 last summer and out of the box it would work somewhat but any ftp upload I tried would hang at the very end of the transmission. Then I upgraded the firmware and that wouldn't connect using a pppoe connection. I finally sent it back on an RMA for a checkup and when I got it back it *still* wouldn't connect using pppoe. I set it aside for a couple months and was hoping that they would come out with new firmware. They did. And it *still* won't connect using pppoe. So there it sits. Brand new and totally unusable. What the heck is wrong with LinkSys these days??
