Oh ... i have retail 615, but i don want to try ... hahaha
This is because, from what i read, the retail 615 is a solid entry level hardware just bundled with a crap firmware.
So with a DDWRT firmware, its a solid router.

My TM router died on me 7 days after installation. This retail one is still going on steady .. smile.gif

I hope i dont get cursed anything this but after 2 replacement routers first one lasted about less then 24 after the day of installation and 2nd one was replaced about 6 days later. since then for 1 and a half months this particular TM 615 has been excellent. can put heavy load constant torrent and gaming at same time no lag plus some browsing and IPTV tested to perform well. so for me now i come to the conclusion that it a fault with the batch of routers given out not the actual router itself. It is not like TM trying to give poor quality ones out in my opinion. I even setup wireless printer/scanner and scan at high resolution therefore sending data at max 54 Mb G standard still ok.

I just hope this will last years. This is my 3rd router is exceed my expectations.

the 2nd times it broke, i had to call everyday for many days until scolding so many of the call center until some1 come here to replace. Such a pain.

I think TM need to find out why certain number of their dlink is like this.

If all TM routers performs like mine i can tell u don t really need to get alternative routers or firmwares as this is just fine.

Glad to hear that from you calvin92, I hope I have the same batch of router as your 3rd one which was early September 2010. And it will save our money for something else.  rclxms.gif

Yes maybe not TM fault for faulty router but more of their fault of not accepting that routers are failing and to investigate. I call them everyday for 6 days only they send some1 to replace. The problem was known in my case (faulty router) but they did not accept that and keep saying we send your case to 2nd level to investigate even when i tell them its the router. They ask me do things like on remove management to see if its incorrect settings which i cant even access they router page as it already crash when any device try to connect to it. TM need to wake up. I will have been fine if they send new one straight away next day when one breaks but they were stubborn.

When my 3rd one came i make sure this time they replace even the power socket.

But funny thing ...

Using TM 615 my upload is about 3 - 4mb/s
Using Retail 615 my upload is about 18 - 19mb/s

This still happens even today... i need to break my router one more time i think ... tongue.gif

Third time's a charm ... haha

Yes i noticed some people with very high speed test sometimes hard to believe. Maybe our speed is capped in the firmware of the TM 615. Any confirmations from others as well using non TM router and able to get higher speed?

i always think is capped from account level so wat ever equipment u use will result in same speed.
