It worked until a firmware upgrade broke it
I bought this router less than a year ago and it worked great. The Circle feature was kind of cool and the app was nice. I had to move some furniture so I rebooted it a couple of days ago. I suspect that the reboot caused the upgraded firmware to load and I started having some devices drop from the network and be unable to reconnect. I hard reset the router, set everything up again from scratch, canceled the Circle feature, and after a few hours devices would drop again and be unable to reconnect. I went to the forums and found a beta version of the firmware. I loaded that, hard reset, reconfigured, and still devices were dropping and unable to reconnect.
I love the idea of this device being feature rich, but it can't be at the expense of providing the base function. I went out a bought a Linksys router to replace it.
