   I just updated the firmware to v 2.10.  NO DIFFERENCE in the listed   
   problems. I am disgusted with this product.  I have been a Linksys user for   
   a long time and this is the worst product I have used from Linksys.  This   
   was release long before it is usable in a SOHO environment.  Sure glad I   
   tried this in my lab before being embarrassed at a client's location..
