This device looks like it will do what I want if I invest days in learning how to use it. The manual (a PDF you can download when you finally get the router working) is over 900 pages and is written in such a way as to make simple functions, such as port forwarding, as difficult as complex operations.
I encountered problems with it as soon as I tried to set it up. It went into an unresponsive state and needed to be reset. I had to repeat all of the work I had already done.
A couple of annoyances:
* When using the Web interface, the router regularly freezes up. If I hit Refresh I get logged out.
* The default setting for the Web interface is HTTPS with an invalid certificate.
* Several error states cause a helpful error message to pop up. It says "Error Message."
The firmware it came with was two versions old. I updated the firmware to fix one problem and the router went unresponsive again. The support site has a Web form, which I filled out. I am still waiting for a response to that. I called US technical support and was answered by a very offhand individual. The problem was fixed by simply flushing the browser cache. I then asked the support guy how to I fix the invalid certificate problem. He went all vague and demonstrated immediately that he had no knowledge of the device.
This router is suitable only for hobbyists with lots of time on their hands. I have to work for my living and do not have much more time to tinker with it. Another couple of hours and both the units I bought will be returned.
