Thanks for the quick response slh. Much appreciated.
Thats a pity, I think i'll be taking it back to the shop.
It seems like the supported routers page needs to e updated to make a note of this so that more people don't fall into this trap. I couldn't see an easy way to do this. If anyone has the necessary authoring rights on any of the forums or wiki's can you please update. thx
PS Any suggestions for a comparable wifi router that has full lede support? I cant find a simple 'buy this, its available, and it works' recommendation
