I have not worked with an E3000 before though. In any case, they are both Wireless-N routers. FreeBSD does not play well with "N" wireless devices. In any case, have you tried doing a hard reset of the router and then rebooting it and then you system? In regards to tech support, at least in my experience with Linksys, if you don't ask a specific question you are not going to get anywhere. I have found e-mail support to be better or even the live support if available. In any case, you can and I have requested a new support representative and have received one. Sometimes it is just the individual whom you are talking to cannot understand the question correctly. -- Jerry ✌ jerry+fbsd@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or ignored.
