My firmware version 2.00NA (shipping version) is still working well.

When I selected 'Check online for any latest firmware' using the existing firmware, I got a message that that v2.07 (dated 2012-2-21) is available.  Until now the router's check has always reported that I have the latest version. 

I need to find out from other persons whether or not v2.07 is a real upgrade or is it full of bugs.  I tried it once a long time ago and Shareport didn't work at all.  Immediately I re-installed v2.00 and I've been pleased with the original shipping version. 

What's the scoop on v2.07?

v2.07 is stable and working. The original bug with it breaking shareport has been fixed.

FYI, if your not exhibiting any problems at this time, it's recommended to keep what is loaded unless you are effected by something listed in the release notes.

Always check the web site and download the updates directly from the web site only.

If you choose to update, please follow this:

Thank you.

I am o' so pleased to learn from you that v2.07 is stable.

At this time I'll stick with my present firmware version since it's working perfectly for me and others.

I'm uncertain of when (or how) I will become advised to upgrade for the IPv6 compatibility but at least v2.07 has been declared stable enough to use without any concern.

Ya when you need IPv6 support, then maybe look at updating FW.

Enjoy for now.

Well... I had a heck of a time getting this to work proper... I installed the FW per the instructions and the web interface was inaccessible. I manually reset the router via the hard reset switch and was able to access the page via 192.168.0.1. Reloaded my config file from pre-FW-update and just like after the update I cannot access the web interface, just keeps loading, never times out either... strange.  Internet works and devices are able to communicate, router has proper address, and all systems are assigned the proper IP's per my config, just no web interface for the router. I Reset the router (again), loaded a different config file and same, and again with a third file and the same...  Apparently the config is not loading proper or some strangeness happening (config files look fine), in any case I had to MANUALLY reconfigure the entire router, loading any of my config files caused the web interface to not work.  I do use 172.16.0.x for my network so maybe that is the tipping point.  After hours of troubleshooting and reconfiguring DHCP assignments, virtual server, port forwarding, network filtering, schedules, firewall, WiFi, QoS, and more it is all working as it should, just a shame the saved config files would nto work.
 So in the sense that it works, it is stable.  In regard to transitioning the config I was very disappointed.

What browser are you using?
Try Opera or FF? If IE 8 or 9, set compatibility mode and test again.

Did you follow this when you upgraded?FW Update Process

It's best to manually set up the router from scratch after the last Factory reset and do not load any saved configuration files.
