THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

I moved recently and In my new house my EA6200 was constantly loosing power...
I was trying to reswearch the issue and found your video.
You opened the box and took the stuff out and I went OH DERP!
I'd thrown all my networking stuff into a box just as a jumble and I had 2 routers in there, this one and an old one
The old one (linksys WRT45G) had a power adaptor that said Linksys on it so when I plugged stuff in at the new house I used that adaptor thinking it was for this. Of course it wasn't strong enough for this router and thus my issue.

I looked at the cord you pulled out of the box and went "OH DERP, Thats the cord I couldn't identify what it was for" and sure enough once I used the correct poweer supply, no issues.,

I'd like to see the review that tells us how it has performed.  This was more of a what's in the box and a look at the operation.  Did the numbers pick up?  How has it operated since purchase.  That's the review I'd like to see.

Just so you know, filtering by MAC address is NOT a surefire way to block access. Yes, every network device comes with a unique hard-coded MAC address from the factory. However, on most computers the MAC address that is actually used can be changed in the device driver settings or by changing the correct key in the registry on a Windows computer if the driver doesn't have this functionality. Changing or spoofing the MAC address is a little more difficult on mobile devices, but not impossible.

i have the same router for the past 3 years now and its working fine. The only problem i have with this router is the 3.0 USB port. I did connect 1Tb 3.0 USB external drive and perform so slow. Opening 1 photo will take 3 to 5 mins to show up on your screen. Same goes when playing 1080p movies. It take forever to load and when start playing the screen is distorted. Any idea what could be the issue?

Why all companies nowadays through away the usability for the looks? (With Apple as the king of course)... *WHY they put the leds on the back of the unit? Useless.*
