Mine always identified the firmware as 1.01. I wonder if others who've
had problems with this router also had the firmware mis-identified.
Could explain a lot.

Although it's inconvenient, it shouldn't take anyone any time at all to
find the manual in .pdf format on the cd. (There is a newer version

I agree. The wizard failed for me also. Didn't need it anyway.

Why on earth would you clone your MAC address AFTER you successfully
got an IP address from your ISP? You only need to do this if you
didn't release the IP address from whatever computer was connected to
the internet previously, (you could wait for the DHCP lease to expire
in this case), or if your ISP insists on connecting to a particular
NIC. If you're already connected, it's unnecessary. Once your router
is connected to the Internet, releasing and renewing the IP on the
connected computers should get them connected, assuming the DHCP server
on the router is enabled.

I bought this router a few weeks ago, fully intending to return it if
it didn't meet my expectations. So far I'm happy with it. It plays
well with bittorrent. It has locked up only once, but that was the day
I discovered there was a firmware upgrade (1.03) that claims to fix a
lockup issue. Right now the only problem I have with it is it won't
let me log into it's configuration utility (the web page built into the
router) after it's been running for a couple days, but it is still
doing it's job just fine. Cycling the power fixes that problem.

It's not as configurable as the router I had been using, which was a
specialized version of linux called Freesco running on an old computer,
but it's adequate, and it only cost $40.
