I've just changed my ultra reliable rock solid but ageing DLink router for one of these and so far it has been a frustrating experience - the UI is poor, inconsistent and buggy.
Port forwarding sometimes works, sometimes doesn't and even more worryingly sometimes forwards to the wrong IP address
The 'client list' and various drop-down lists of devices are inconsistent, sometimes missing devices and sometimes showing DNS/netbios names, sometimes not. The DHCP reservation list doesn't show names or have anywhere to even manually type in a name (like anybody can remember which mac address is which device). And the PPTP VPN is just flaky - works some times and no others (confirmed from mac, windows, iphone and android). I've not even bothered with the more advanced features as these basics are so unreliable.
Is this a common thing or is mine just faulty? I'm running the latest firmware and have factory-defaulted a few times.
