1.0 out of 5 stars What use is a router that won't route?, January 21, 2009

I made the mistake of having a coworker pick me up a router "while they were out". Gihugic mistake. In my experience - This thing is a hunk of junk with crummy support.

The router stops forwarding packets at least twice a day, requiring at least a reboot from the interface, at most a power cycle.

Contacting Dynex is an exercise in futility. Have a look at their site before you consider this unit: No firmware updates, no email support (strictly phone). When I phone them, they want me to reboot the router. Ok - reboot the router, it's working (duh. We've already established that) again for the moment - they say their brief good-byes and consider the "solution" acceptable. [Grrr!]

I have very little port forwarding (just two ports) and traffic is moderately low. Firewalling is disabled. So the load on the router is certainly not to blame.

Upshot? Junk. I guess I'll pick my own router next time. Live and learn. ;-)

I would not buy this item. I set it up and it would not work at all. I even switched ethernet cables in case one was bad but it still wouldn't work. Save your money and buy something that works great! Always check reviews.

This router was dead on arrival right out of the box. It won't even power on. I am promptly returning it and going to go for a more popular brand. I tried this one to save money but I guess you get what you pay for.
