So, I never could get these things configured but decided to put this device in service as an AP with what I could get configured. I am basically making changes around this devices I've got to say...it's worth it.

I have tried so many routers that I felt defeated in finding something with the kind of range I need. This router solves all my range problems. No router came close (not even close) to what this router's signal can reach.

I am extremely impressed with the performance so far.

Thank you all for your posts here as all the information I was able to gather were extremely helpful.

I just received my router a couple days ago from amazon. I updated it to fw102 immediately but I seem to have issues with configuring the router.

Anyone have issues with not being able to configure the port forwarding and DHCP IP range? Every time I change parameters on those pages, the router goes, "10%, 20%,...100% complete!" and it just sits there...with the spinner spinning. I couldn't log back in to the router until I hold the reset button down for a few seconds which effectively wipes all configuration and I have to start over.

The other pages saves fine.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Looks like I may be getting a bit better RSSI...minus a few points. Still observing.

Can you try 21:00-00:59 ?

Just re-read your post again, you want it on 9:00 in the morning or night?
It may not be possible the way you want to do it. Looks like times will need to be same day.

Howdy,
rt-n66u fw 108 now

quick overall;
with only like 40 minutes of use, it seems the console window is quicker to respond, the client listing is totally working now, listing all clients, as well as hard static ip printers. Names are all up too. Speed looks good here, wireless distance in the rural area (no other wifi signal for miles) is impressive still. The log needs to have some filter options.

It's not optimal, but I guess you could try changing the timezone on the router so it's back an hour and just setting: 8:00 - 23:59

I'm using Lion also...did you have any issues when you updated to .108? When I updated to .102, I had issues where my router gave me an IP conflict and it took me a while to figure that problem out because it kept dropping my connections. I found a workaround to getting .102 to behave with my router.

I've just updated to .108 via Mac Lion as well, no issues other than realizing I had set a static IP on my hardline while I had also applied a static DHCP mapping for the laptop as well so I had a little external hiccup but easily resolved.

The wireless throughput and extra range from my old Linksys is nice I gotta say,

 

[darksamus]

For those who are using .108, how good is it?
