It seems that it's pretty dim there. After acknowledging that the 
product was broken by design, they offered to replace them under 
warranty. Great.

I wonder how Cisco feels about these jack-holes using their brand.

  engineered with real Cisco DNA and a modicom of intelligent tech
  support. Even a decent bug database maintained by somebody that can
  spell TCP/IP would be a step forward. As it stands Linksys is just
  making Cisco look bad. I'm sure they are laughing all the way to the
  bank.
