So, third one came in last night after calling Amazon for a replacement. #3's S/N is dated for November of this year (great!)
After configuring the device, same scenario. Reboots. ARRRRHGH.
Calling into support again and escalating the ticket I am waiting for a callaback from a higher level tech.
My current resolution is to disable the 5Ghz wireless band, not optimal, but the device has stayed solid for over 12hrs now with multiple wired devices and wireless devices on the 2.5Ghz band.. Yay... but I didn't pay for a 1 band device! So hopefully I can get some sort of resolution from Buffalo.
@joma90: To clarify what I stated earlier is that on this page:
http://buffalotech.com/products/wireless#open-source-dd-wrtThere is no longer a "buy now" option for the 1750.
As for RMA shenanigans, they wouldn't even RMA the OLD device I originally called in about. Luckily I have my ol Airport for backup, and in addition as of today have debugged a workaround for the device reboots (disabling the 5Ghz wireless.)
To expand on my settings for further debugging by the community, here are my configs for the device:
- WPA2 only security on both wireless channels
- Addition of DNS for clients (OPENDNS servers)
- Addition of NTP server "0.pool.ntp.org"
- Enabling of QoS
-- prioritization of all 4 TCP types
-- limiting of inbound/outbound data rates (~%90 of my service allotment)
