Hi, LELA 3 is currently less than useful for me with my WRT310N.
Real functionality issues:
1. It claims that my Internet Connection does not work. It sees my cable modem, but the line from the router to it (and from there to the net) is red, and it always asks me to "Repair" my connection. My internet connection is working fine.
2. It does not show any wireless devices connected. I know there is one, I have it right here. And it is connected to the router and accessing the internet.
Gripes:
3. The LELA program took several weeks to actually download itself after I installed the router and software. Visibly, I got no status on this. Simply, there was no LELA software as advertised, on my machine. After some digging, I found a log file used by the updater and it had entries about failing to connect to the Linksys FTP site.
4. When it finally did download the program, the next thing that happened was that the LELA installer ran when my computer booted. I had forgotten the "LELA" acronym, so the installer name (something like "lela-121432-1-21-23-23-2.msi" ) did not look familiar, and I was very concerned about what was going on with my computer. I canceled the installer; the next boot, I used Process Explorer to see the path that the installer came from, and it was the Linksys folder, so I put 2 and 2 together.
5. The program itself takes a long time to load, frequently gives cryptic error messages ("object is not an instance of class foo" or something, "xml string not found", etc), takes a rather large amount of memory (115MB?? plus another 40MB for nmctxth.exe and nmsrvc.exe), and uses a constant 10% of my CPU.
So, to recap:
- installation was a pain
- running it is a pain
- it is of no use, in fact worse than that because it is feeding me misinformation

So, I got an email and then follow-up phone call from a Cisco tech about this. Unfortunately, the best I got was (in a very polite, sincere manner I must say) "We have no idea why you are having this problem, and we have had very few technical support issues with this product". I sent them a screenshot of TaskManager showing the resource use, I disabled my firewall to see if that changed anything, no luck.
So, now it's 3 weeks later, and nothing has changed. LELA is still a completely useless thing that just eats system resources.

I was prompted to download lela (executable with a long file name lela-32-3.0.8165.32.exe) 124MB so I accepted. I selected to download to desktop but I can't find the file anywhere? I searched with Google desktop and still can't find the file. Any program that hides itself like this is not good IMO. Anyone run into this problem before? Thanks
