I never had wireless errors like that on the 1.12.  The only things that uses the 2.4GHz wireless are my Wii and my DSi.  I have no cordless phones and nothing has changed since I got the router.  

Edit:  Forgot to mention my Brother HL-4070CDW also uses the 2.4GHz.

The Wii is known to cause errors as it enables and disables the wireless adapter to manage power output.

Where are the release notes for 122b02NA?

What has been changed?

[Syaoran]

Then why didn't I have any errors what so ever when running it on the 1.12?  As far as I see, my Wii maintains its connection even when not in use.  The blue drive light comes on when I have a new message, etc so I doubt that's the cause.

Actually thats not true. The Wii disables it's wireless and re-enables it every couple of minutes to check connection status and look for mail/updates.

It's listed on Nintendo's site.
The error count can be caused by the router trying to send an ARP to the Wii while it's off and having to resend the packet.

Seems a bit funny that I never had that issue with the 1.12.

[Lycan]

You probably did, we may have changed the qualifications for what the router logs as an error.

I was hoping that Lycan was right about the errors but there still seems to be issues with packetloss.  I purposely went on the Wii for a bit earlier just to push some packets over the wireless to give it a fair test.  Here's the results of that.

Dropped packets in a wireless environment are normal.

Hi.  Quick question.  Want to try the new beta.  I still have the 1.21NA A2 beta running from last July.  Still have to reboot the router every couple of days after it hangs.  Hope the new beta fixes that.  I know I should do a factory reset, but should it be done before or after the flash to new beta?  Does it matter?

Thanks.

It should be done after you have flashed the new firmware.
Then configure the router manually again.
