Firmware Bug Does Not Allow User to Change Default Admin Password

I see that overall, this product has gotten mostly good reviews, which is why I purchased it. After setting it up, I discovered that I could not get any of my computers to connect to the internet. Nice! I called SMC Tech Support, and was walked through re-setting it. Lo and behold, I could now get onto the internet. Next, I went in and dutifully changed the default SMC Admin password. Again, NO INTERNET. I called SMC Tech Support again. This time, the tech told me that there is a KNOWN BUG in the firmware that, if, as suggested, you change the default admin password, then you CANNOT ACCESS the INTERNET. After voicing my displeasure with the technician, I went to the SMC website, and sent them an email asking if and when they were going to fix this bug. CRICKETS....... This is unacceptable to me and should be to anyone else considering this router.

So far so good

I've been using this router for about a month now, and haven't had a single problem. Before purchasing I read a few reviews concerning problems with set-up. I initially had some challenges connecting, but realized I was making it harder than it needed to be, (regarding using a WEP key). Once I realized this was unnecessary for my application it connected right away, and has not had a problem yet. I also love that I can wirelessly connect to my printer now, great feature!! I can print from my laptop anywhere in the house, very cool. Excelent range too, all over the house, outside too.
