login for support download
I am absolutely disgusted by the amount of information cisco requested to login for a simple support download utility. HEY CISCO THIS STUFF SHOULD BE AVAIL WITHOUT LOGIN!
After 1/2 hour of pisisng with password requirements, eg. too long. tooo short. not enough characters. where did I go to school. (Why on gods green earth would I want CISCO to have this info anyway) just tyring to make a login username and passwd. I gave up. Shame on you Cisco. / AKA LINKSYS My opinion as an end user, support means making revelent utilites and product manuals ect available to any end user WITHOUT logging in. I like your products, HATE the support site. Cheers. (AND IM A SEASONED TECH 15yrs)

Simply awful
I purchased a Linksys wireless router to accompany the XO laptop that I bought for my parents for Christmas (the laptop is great). They currently have an old desktop PC that does not have any Ethernet ports, and must therefore connect to the DSL modem via a USB cable.
I was able to get the wireless router to work, but then the PC couldn't connect to the Internet. Once I got the PC's Internet connection working again, the wireless stopped working.
After about an hour and a half of trying to get it to work, I called Linksys customer support. And after about 45 minutes on hold, I spoke with a tech support person who had me fiddle with the connections and configurations for another 45 minutes or so to no avail until my cell phone battery died.
The next day, I called customer support again, waited for 30 minutes on hold, and then fiddled with the connections and configurations with another tech support person for another 30 minutes.
After trying a bunch of different things, the support person asked me to hold. He came back after a few minutes, and informed me that the router I purchased cannot be used with a USB modem.
Had they shared this tidbit with me in the first place - or better still, included it in the documentation that came with the router - I would have simply given up and returned the router to the store and would have continued buying Cisco's products with no hard feelings.
But because they wasted several hours of my time through their sheer incompetence, not only has Cisco Systems lost a customer, they have gained a lifelong enemy.

I can't access downloads from my school account at home. Any attempt to open tests results in Mandarin or Cantonese.
Your service in Egypt is terrible, your Ma`adi branch is unqualified, your call center is the worst ever
Your service is terrible in terms of customer service as well as branches
Purchased linsys wireless G router from Staples, had problems with reception, sent back to Cisco, cisco returned item with prepaid to send to another address. Forwarded via prepaid envelope, Cisco/ Linksys cann't find item, complaints go from India to California for several months still unresolved...
It would be easier to find Osama Bin Laden than to get an issue resolved with Cisco's customer service dept.

One of my routers is a Cisco 877w, it's an enterprise router. I have found the smartnet support system to be, in many situations useless, at best it’s difficult to work with, an example would be - some engineers follow through issues, many do not. Another is - the current IOS has become so bloated, there is not enough room on the flash memory to accommodate the current IOS and management software.
I could go on and on however I’d rather spend my time learning how to configure a Vyatta router then complaining about Cisco support, Vyatta is free and installs on any x86 commodity hardware, in a physical or virtual environment. But you need to know TCP/IP, DNS, and other protocols in order to configure it; it’s a solution that’s working for my requirements.
Misery loves company bogusdude, its evident here you have none.
I just bought a valet router. Comes with a"USB KEY" no printed instructions. Should truly be a plug and play. Plugged in the USB key, after 5 minutes got error message. Called tech support in the Phillipines. No help, One week later no call from Tech support in Irvine, CA. Returned Router and got a Belkin, works great. Stay Far, Far away from Cisco/linksys
dude you're a wanker. you have no ###ing clue about what you're trying to do and then you complain that you can't achieve it. go ###ing connect some d-link or any other device to your piece of ### usb modem and then see what happens. wanker.
