    Ouch, sorry to hear that. I used the TEW-691GR for about a month, and everything I experienced is documented in the review. If you don’t mind me asking, how did your TEW-691GR die? Did it just quit working, stop powering on, hung on flash, etc…?

  • http://www.thinkcomputers.org/ Jack

    That information isn’t provided in the manual nor through the admin web interface. So, I’d have to open the router and look at the chips. I didn’t want to risk voiding the warranty.

    Depending on how you paid for it, you credit card company might offer some kind of extra warranty. I know that American Express does this, but I’ve never actually had to use it.
