Router arrived yesterday and took about 15mins to set up including
securing the wireless and setting port forwarding/port triggering rules.
The coverage is excellent, the one room in the house that didn't get a
decent signal now receives full strength wireless, so I'm pretty happy
with it.
The firmware seems a bit buggy, I can't change certain options because
it tells me the format of their defaults is invalid. MAC address
filtering is a good example, they have all the boxes filled in with
00:00:00:00:00:00. I went looking for newer firmware only to find I was
already one version ahead of the latest.
I spoke to one of their customer support guys who has emailed me a much
newer firmware, I don't know why it's not available on the website, but
I'll give that a try tonight and let you know if it resolves the issues.
