The following devices are classified as YELLOW BAND. Devices classed as YELLOW BAND are considered to be unreliable or do not provide complete functionality and are not recommended for purchase:

Netgear RP614 – This device keeps freezing (To prevent freezing, a workaround has been found which involves configuring the internet domain name server as that of the provider, rather than the address of the Netgear device)

Linksys WRT54G – This device keeps freezing. (It is reported that it is possible to reflash this device with open source based firmware, which may resolve the freezing problem. However, it is unconfirmed whether this fixes the “freezing” problem.) The device does not freezes with the OPEN source DD-WRT firmware, unless you do remote management with https enabled.This firmware also increase the transfer rate of the unit.

BT Home Hub 2.0 – There is a bug in the current versions of the BT Home Hub firmware, which prevents the user from updating the DNS server settings. This has been deliberately implemented by British Telecom for “security reasons”.
