Well it appears that my EA4500 is out of warranty.
I just spent 20 minutes on the phone with support after doing the hokey pokey - plug in/unplug 4x and reset.
Still no go.
Support told me to buy a new router. Well guess what.. I did - Netgear Nighthawk.
After 3 Linksys routers in the last 10 years... not sure if that is good or not, they just die of course after the warranty runs out.
Trying my luck with Netgear.
Until we meet again Linksys..
Happy Trails,
