i bought a linksys wrt120n at your store ASIANIC COMPUTER STORE in sm center laspinas- after 2 weeks of use the unit / router is always disconnected – intermitent connection either hardwired or wireless, it will disconnect thrice in one day sometimes more than 3 times, when i bypassed it, it did’nt not disconnect me an had a stable connection when bypassed. now when i reconnect the router, it’s doing the same thing again and again, so i return the unit for diagnosis before friday shipment date to warehouse, then i called after a week and they said 2 to 3 weeks more, whoever is responsible or liable for this issue, as a customer will you pls expedite this, or maybe replaced it immediately because i need the router and i’m loosing money out of it…pls. i need immediate feedback…thanks- PLS. DO NOT SELL DEFECTIVE UNITS.
I think you got me confused here because Asianic was the first on the list, anyway I hope you get a proper replacement or compensation for the defective router unit you purchased. If you had detected the problem early on, you should’ve been met with an outright replacement from the same shop and not have the unit sent off to diagnostics, I’m sure they had you sign some paperworks. Be advised that when you send your unit off for repair you should demand for a service unit or else a definitive timeline for your products return.
As a product however, Linksys is one of the more prominent of networking devices and should be less prone to factory defects, it is very unfortunate that you had been handed out that specific one, else it may also be the fault of the internet provider / line.
