Well my V2 is bricked...I called and told then what I wanted. We tried the usual, and also downloaded the cd image which didn't work. He put me on hold, came back and said we were going to try the V1 firmware. Well it's now bricked and an RMA has been issued. He told me he cannot guarantee that the replacement will have the user friendly or not.
I called again yesterday to find out why my RMA is held up. They were pretty good about it. Paying for return shipping and making sure I get the user friendly firmware.
I'm not happy with Buffalo at all though. This router does not have the coverage as expected or depicted in their little drawing. Since I need to have a router I bought the next one up, the 450. As far as I'm concerned they can keep the bricked 300v2.
