Yep, I agree. The reason I have two is anytime I can switch providers
and save $20 a month, I switch providers. I got tied of having to
get into the router and reconfigure it for my lan nodes.
Same thing when the Helpless Desk says to factory reset modem. :(

With the second router, my LAN nodes keeps their address and I have
to nothing to the ISP router except forward all ports to my router
disable UPnP, ALG Passthrough, remote internet access, and
turn off the wireless transmitter(s).

A big thank you for your Mageia community support David
and thanks to William for his replies.
