A serious problem on RT-N56U

[tristate]

Sorry for my mistake, this thread shall be placed here...

I got a N56U 4 days before, and there seems to be a critical problem for me on this product.

When the lease time of DHCP at the WAN port (leased from up-link router) is reached, the RT-N56U router will stop the internet connection and wait for the new leased IP. The internet traffic during this process is completely unavailable, which means a stop of 5 to 6 seconds.

This would cause a unwanted disconnection on internet usage, especially on voip, streaming video and online game. The dhcp lease time on my ISP is set to be very short (Tele2 in Sweden), and I was confused with continuously disconnection after switched to this router.

I tried the most recent firmware (1.0.1.2) with no help on my case. Hope this problem can be solved soon...

has anyone else experienced this? that'd be a major shortcoming for me.

There's been a new firmware released since this report. I had this router but returned it (since my WL-500W miraculously came back to life and I needed the cash).

I have not experienced this with latter firmware, nor with the recent.
