WRTP54G 1.00.37 & Local Networking

Anyone notice that their DHCP Clients table function under "status" -> "local network" no longer works? It just up blank even after several refreshes, reboots, etc.

I can ping PCs on my network from one another and all have internet. So it all seems to be working besides this oddity. All PCs pulling 192.168.15.1 as DNS and gateway.

Also for people who experienced new "slowness". This happened to me... went from 2500k down to a little less than 700k download speed right after setting up the router. Was really annoyed. Finally after forceably resetting factory defaults a couple of time it went from 1.00.19 -> 1.00.37 and fixed itself. Not sure if it was just slow as it was pulling the firmware update autmatically or if 1.00.19 was seriously bad or what.

I am seeing the same issue with the DHCP Client table and also the Wireless Active Clients table. Vonage upgraded my firmware to 1.00.37 from 1.00.18 when it worked.

I called Vonage last night and they said that .37 was the latest and that this must be a Linksys issue. I called Linksys and they said that Vonage had developed the firmware .37 so it is their problem.

I am thinking of taking this router back and cancelling this Voip thing. Don't need vendors pointing fingers at each other.

I imagine this sort of thing should get worked out eventually in a future firmware version. Unfortunately, there doesn't even seem to be a way to send bug reports, considering that it was apparently developed by some mystical entity existing somewhere in the void between Linksys and Vonage.

The source code is available for free download, modification, and distribution though, so maybe we'll see 3rd-party enhancements similar to those done for the WRT54G?

Thing that's odd is that it seems to work fine beyond that (since 1.00.37). Just annoying.

Mine works fine. (1.00.37)
All functions are working properly, wireless included.

I still think that Vonage/Texas Instruments/Linksys/Cisco need to get their acts together and provide the correct solution out of the box, and thorough training for all technical support personnel so they can make the irate customers happy. That may already be too late.

Just checked- no dhcp table but the wireless table is accurate??
