Took the Plunge Last Night...or was it this morning....
« on: February 07, 2010, 01:35:41 PM »

Hi,

Well...after all the waffling back and forth about not having the latest firmware....I decided to prepare myself and took the plunge into v1.33NA-ville.

I saved my settings from the 1.21, downloaded the RU firmware by www23 (just in case...), printed out pages of my important settings like DHCP reservations and such....

And then I pressed update....two times in fact....well I was prompted two times...

Upload went painfree....tho my crossed fingers were somewhat painful for several minutes while I waited for it to complete...

In the end, it appears that it is fully functional...and while I had to (rather I chose to...) re-enter everything by hand....I am hopefully one of the fortunate ones thus far....

Shareport has worked fine once I installed the 1.10 version in each of my client pc's here at home.  It seems snappier than the v1.14/1.15 it replaces.... Tho the system tray icon is faint so as to be hard to see.

I noticed my .11N wireless laptop adapter first showed at 160 Mbps but after a few minutes it moved up to the 270 Mbps I am used to seeing....why it can't see 300 Mbps is a different issue and not router related I suspect.


So far so good....

Oh yeah...I forgot to mention....

The main bug I had with FW 1.21 was the schedule time wrapping around midnight issue.

Thus far, I was able to enter a single time schedule from 10:30 PM to 9:00 AM with no problems.  In fact I entered a couple different schedules wrapping around midnight with no problems.
