Hi I want to be able to network about 4 pcs, share a dial up internet access, with potential to upgrade the internet to cable in the future. I purchased a
Barricade Router (SMC7004ABR) from SMC which I thought would be able to do all of this.
I set it up and it worked. I was able to share files between computers and surf the net on both of the computers I started with. Then after about 4 hours I could not longer access the router from either machine. Turn it off and next day it again worked for about 4 hours then performance degrades until I can longer surf or even ping the router from either pc. Well maybe I set it up wrong, so after several setups same thing. Then I contact SMC and they say update the firm ware. So I do. Same problem. Again I contact SMC and they reply: "We have seen this issue and are currently addressing it. There will be a new firmware update available very soon (on our website) that will resolve
this problem. " I need to resolve this issue so I am returning the router. Has any one have a similar need that they have solved and have a product recomendation which will do this?
thanks
