WD support needs to address all current owners of the N900 series . We need to know if this is a firmware issue or hardware problem.  I can give it two weeks before I bring mine back to the retailer.  

WD please let us know where we stand with your product ?

Hello, i have a n750, i have it like for 4 mounth now, i play online game alot, war thunder, first i hade this disconecting from the server, unti i turned on the DMZ in the security, for my pc where i play the game from, then it whent a bit bether, then, i uppdated the n750, not i have disconection like every 15 min or so, even if i have open ports for the game, and have this DMZ on, so i think somthing is wrong whit that the new firmware.

hope they this problem really fast, cos now this routers are unusebal for unusable for gaming.

So far everyday I have to power down the N900 to get all wired and wireless back online. I have 13 days to give Wd time to do firmware update .>> If that is the problem ?. I Can`t believe a company of this size does not respond to thier customers frustration.

Hi

Seems to be more of a issue when under heavy use with Hard drive attached and lots of wifi connections.  

It simply shut off wired and wireless , but the unit is still  powered on with lights still on. 

Any word on a resolve or a firmware upgrade? I have one week left to try to keep this unit. We like it when it works but won’t risk it to be a guinea pig.
