No, I just unplug everything when I go on vacation.

Running latest firmware since March and no problems what so ever. Bad router or user error return it.

I'm using latest firmware and no drop outs for over a year. May be user error.

My extender is doing the same thing and showing 2 separate networks with the same name now instead of showing one like it is supposed to.

Did this work for you? In extender mode I don't get any internet signal through the WAN port. I think that WAN port is just an input port not output.

I just purchased this item today and will do a review when I receive it. I have a 2 story 2300 square foot home and hoping it helps. Just for note signal and throughput are 2 totally different...
