Well I flashed my Linksys WRT150N to fix a security vulnerability in a feature I wanted to turn on. There was an unfortunate side effect: my router went from being rock-solid to locking up 2-3 times a day.
This was annoying enough to decide turn off the feature and roll back the firmware. Much to my annoyance they don’t offer the old firmware on their site and even worse after contacting customer support they don’t have it anymore.
I demanded that since they broke my router and won’t give me the old firmware to fix it they they replace it. The made be do several tests over about a week to before they agreed it was indeed broken and would send me a new one.
Luckily for me there were 2 days left in my warrantee.
While going through their RMA process I was amused to see that their reprocessing center is 8 miles from my house. This was confirmed with the tracking info with the origin scan being basically the same time as the destination scan.
Hopefully the new/refurbed router will work out…
Update: Ironically my router locked up when I submitted this post…
