Hi guys,

I'm having issues with my router in that my devices randomly won't connect to it. Some does, and some doesn't. It's not very consistent which one gets connected.
Not sure what is the cause of this. And it can happen to the one connected by Ethernet or WiFi. The only solution is to reboot it. And then it repeat after a few hours. I have about 10-12 devices at home.

Reading online I found other people with the same issue I had.
I haven't much experience with claiming warranty with Linksys. Would I have to spend out of pocket shipping costs?

If I decided to replace this router, what would be the best reliable option?
Not really after something super fast and cool, just reliable (last years and years). My budget is a bit tight: only $100.

Thanks in advance!

    And it can happen to the one connected by Ethernet or WiFi.

    If your router is actually disconnecting devices connected via Ethernet — that's not a good sign. Time to either RMA it or buy a new router.

    Would I have to spend out of pocket shipping costs?

    you get an RMA number @ linksys support page (phone call or email) and then you are instructed to return it to the retailer.

      Any suggestion of which one I should get?

      A bit disappointing, I got this one not too long ago, in a deal I posted myself: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/357636

      Sorry guys if you bought the deal from me and have the same experience.

      Thanks for the RMA suggestion, I will try that.

        Oh crap., Warehouse1 actually went out of business. this might make RMA a tad difficult, but contact ASUS anyway and see what they say.

          Dang, I didn't know they went out.
          How long do Linksys usually take before sending a replacement? Kinda can't live without one.
