My 3rd (Yes my third) one (ser#1JF569L400A42) has just, again, crapped out for no apparent reason. I bought that one on the 27 of NOV 07 to replace number 2 (ser#1JF267LN0117E) which I bought on the 10 MAY 06 to replace the 1st one (ser# 1JF164K500264). So, as you can see, they only last anywhere from 5 to 7 months before they totally crap out, again, for no apparent reason. I speculate poor power regulation because they never come back to life...just the power light comes on after you reset the power after they go totally "dark".

I actually contacted them a while back to talk about getting some sample units that I could test both at home and for our local city of Frisco, TX. They sent me some paperwork, but that was about it. I'm not willing to send them hundreds of dollars to learn how it works, to then do a complete write up and serve as advertising for them, but if you want to suggest to them that they send me a few devices then I'll be happy to review them completely and do the write up. If you just need a network for a small area, you should really check out the <a href="http://onemansblog.com/2007/08/01/review-belkin-n1-vision-wireless-n-gigabit-router/" rel="nofollow">new Belkin</a> I just reviewed. My neighbor from two houses down and across the street told me today that he can see my network and even has 2 bars over there! It is awesome!!! :-) John It’s funny that you ask.
