So I bought a new router...

Post by shaft »

A Linksys Wireless Dual Band A+G...

I started configuring it...and everytime I click save. It reboots. My old wireless G router never did that...but whatever. So I configure the wireless and a few other things, and I start fwd'n some ports and click save...then it goes into a an endless loop of rebooting and I have to reset the whole thing...everything lost. So I configure the wireless again blah blah...then I switch some other setting and the same things happens. Doesnt make a difference which settings I am changing I cant make it through the whole process without it going into an endless loop. Meanwhile the thing is having a hard time assigning IP's, and last night when I gave up I couldnt even communicate with the thing. It has latest firmware..etc. Nothing about this in the support page.

Bad router? Anyone ever experiance this?
