Bricked after I year of use.......2007-04-21

Dead after 1 year of lightly use. Symptoms same as described by Eric L. Carlson's comments. Two red light (Status and Print Error), port status led keep flashing.

Anybody knows a way to revive it?

Go buy something else .......2005-08-01

I thought it was just me but i'm convinced otherwise after reading the reviews here.

Yesterday my (read "this") router broke down. The same way the others here (like Eric L Carson) etc reported. Two lights red. Two lights green.

The router does what it says, but it obviously comes with a lifespan which is only slightly longer than the warranty period. When i pay for something, i want it to work for at least a while beyond the warranty period (given that i take good care of it). This one obviously doesn't.

Now i have to go hunting for a new one...

Worked fine for a couple years.......2005-05-29

Worked fine for a couple years - a lot better than my previous (different brand) router - then a few days ago (May 2005), it just stopped working.

Now the Status and Print Err lights remain red (I never had a printer connected to it), and the Power and Print Act lights remain green, and any ports with computers connected just flash slowly. I tried holding in the reset button for a long time, and I even tried letting is sit completely unplugged for a few days, then resetting again, but it is still dead.

I have my router and cable modem connected to my UPS, and there were no power problems the day, so I don't think it was a power surge that caused it to die.

I see that one other person had this exact same problem. I would love to know what the problem is, so contact me if you have an idea (It's pretty simple to find my web site).

Fortunately, I already had another good router (3rd brand) to replace it with, so I'm still online. And I just bought an additional router (4th brand), at a very good sale price, to have as a backup.

Buyer Be Aware: Warranty not honored if purchased online.......2004-06-16

I bought this item October 2003 and it broke down today. After holding for 15 minutes to talk with a tech support, I was told since I bought this from an online retailer, Amazon, the company's policy is not to honor the warranty as "anyone can sell online and therefore we don't know what they could have done to the product." Needless to say, I am extremely disappointed. I hope you don't.

Replaced a DI-701 with this thing. I bought this router for ONE reason... The box said 10/100 on BOTH sides LAN & WAN. In MY configuration, I have it between my private LAN workstations and my public net access and servers, so I want 100 between workstations and servers. It did seem to xfer at more than 10mbps when it WORKED.

The FIRST one I bought, after about 2 weeks, it started acting up, looking like it reset itself, but when that happened, no private machines could hit the public side. Needed a power-cycle to fix about every 8 hours. If I let it go on like that long enough (like overnight whilst sleeping--I know, what good sysadmin ever sleeps right?? lol), it would blow the whole LAN AND WAN, public AND private and NONE of my servers would then be accessible from ANYWHERE.
So I called Siemens, they said go ahead and exchange it where I bought it, so I did.
So here is the second one. Running great up until last Friday (about 6 months or so) when we had a power failure that was long enough to drain all the UPS backups, and the computers shutdown fine and all.
When the power came back on, the Power and PrintAct lights were green and the Status and Print Err lights red, (no printer hooked up to the printserver port) and with any comps hooked up to the switch ports, it would just continually cycle the lights through each port. NO ACCESS between ANY machines.
So now Im back on the 701 till I can find a GOOD KNOWN name brand (D-link, Linksys or 3com($$$ouch$$$) that has 100 on BOTH sides.

BIC should buy Siemens and sell these things right along side their disposable razors and lighters. For $30, thats about what it is. I am NOT taking this one back. Im donating it to BFI for landfill use. The wall-wart power supply may come in handy somewhere though...lol

"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me".
SIEMENS: Stick to your DSL modems! You obviously cant make routers...
