Anyway, they were both RMA'd this week. Linksys support for this device is pretty much non-existent too.
The connectivity with my other wireless routers was horrible. I purchased two of these via another source for my work.
Internet connection would drop even though the wireless connection would stay connected. The device would connect fine but would act rather weirdly.
They would not pass-through dhcp half of the time. Check out the Linksys Forums for this device if you do no believe me.
Stay away from this product.
Then take three days to read through the results. Easy to set up if you don't want to secure your network. I'm sure that the people at Linksys are really nice but this thing is a nightmare. The only people who like this product are the newbies (who don't understand the need for network security) and the pros (who love a technical challenge). Impossible to set up if you do. Before you buy, head over to Google and type in "wre54g" and "install" and "problem". For the rest of us, this product is an extraordinary headache. Flee, flee for your life.
This is the most frustrating product I have ever purchased. I have reset and start over numerous times with no success. I have worked over 5 hours to make this thing work. It continually says congratulations you have successfully installed the expander. The red/blue light which is to remain blue if connected to the router continually flashes red then blue. If you have hair I would not purchase this product as you will soon be bald.
Very nice and usefull product but it 1s not so easy to install it for amateurs. If the auto configuration doesn`t work the problems begins.
It works wonderfully. Since I installed the wireless expander, I get 5-bars connectivity all the time. My router is upstairs and I work downstairs. Typically the connection fluctuates widely. It is rare that a product works as well as advertised and this one does. It took 5 minutes to install and then I had green lights and a strong signal.
