Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Ok, so after I initially set this up, I was frustrated for a day or so until I figured out what was going on. The router has been up for a couple of days now with now issues and I hope it continues this way. I had to install this in a wall panel, so I needed it to be able to work properly on power cycles without me going to the devices physically. As stated in the title, there are 2 things to be careful about for simple connections, like a home network in my case: 1) Ports 2, 3, and 4 can be configured as LAN (Local network) OR WAN (Internet) ports and I think, by default, ports 1 AND 2 are set for WAN. So if you hook your internet/external network connection up to Port 1 and then just assume you can connect a local computer up to Port 2 to manage configuration, you're gonna have a bad time. For initial config, connect your internet to Port 1 and computer to Port 5 and then setup WAN/LAN configurable ports the way you need before reconnecting anything else. 2) Several others had issues with dropping the WAN (Internet) connection after less than an hour, it seems like this is because of the "Anti ARP Spoofing" firewall feature, which I think is also on by default and seems to be crap. Disable it and you should see WAN stability. I was getting extremely frustrated because my internet connection just seemed to keep dropping. My computer would state that they still had an ethernet connection but no internet. I'd be able to successfully reach and log in to the router and then I'd have to manually force a connection on the WAN (even if it said connected) and test pinging Google to see if it was actually connected. It would be up for 45-60 minutes then die out again. It would self-correct a lot of the time but it was frequent enough and lasted long enough that it impacted regular web surfing and listening to Pandora. I have WebPass (Google Fiber) and haven't ever had connection drop issues, so I started playing with the configurations. Once I turned that one off, everything was working perfectly. There are additional settings to allow bound MAC addresses (which you can import automatically when you reserve them in DHCP), but I didn't even want to test that. Just turn the functionality off and everything is good. Otherwise, so far so good! Loses a star because those are on by default (if I remember correctly, could be wrong) and they caused serious headaches.
