Hit or miss

I originally bought this router last year or so for my parents. It has been working flawlessly for them since. I decided to get myself one based off of that success, as well as its good WiFi range and speeds. Unfortunately, my unit is defective. I cannot return it because the return window was missed. I had to go on vaca and didn't even get to unbox it for a while. After a week of internet drops, I boxed it back up only to realize I just lost $60. I tried the firmware updates, resetting, you name it, but it's F'd. The internet and my cable modem are fine, and always worked directly connected to my PC, so it's def the router. I have been using my gf's backup router for now, but it's old and needs replaced, yet still works better than this hot pile of garbage. I read many other reviews of this with people having similar issues, so I cannot in good conscience recommend this product. Sucks because when it works, it is fantastic. Time to find a more reliable brand.
