@Schmuaku , I don't have a warranty anymore. I had the original 90 days and I did not extend this. It would cost like 139.00 for a year. Mmmmmm....I don't know. I am looking for basic support and.... In case I do something Stupid( I have this before) :) , to be able to reach someone at a moments notice to get my wifi/router up and running.
On another note, ( this question might not be appropriate for the community) I am considering changing this router, I have own this one for only a year. I looking to get one that has, or can download firmware for open source to use with my VPN. Thanks again. Harold.
