Oh yeah, and that. but "better" is all relative to the user.

Is it? Whereas 'never' implies an clear and final statement, offering no choice to the 'user', 'soon' by definition offers the user a future choice and possibility to render a judgment based on comparison. Therefore 'better' is not relative to the user at this stage. Only in hindsight this qualification can be made.

Do I hear any objections? If so, please let me know  

[EddieZ]

I felt that it is very necessary to establish this clear distinction. Although, we do have ETAs,  there is no point in disclosing them since the ETAs we're sung often change with little or no notice. You can imagine the domino effect forming.

Don't disclose them since they will only disappoint people not familiar with software development estimates.

I agree. Which brings me back to my earlier argument of "soon"

I'd continue to support my argument, but any further argument would just get you that much closer to insane member not to mention major thread derailment.

LOL....

You mods labeled me, remember

OK now the Mods are posting here Mods a question:

Besides securespot and the USB share is there ANY advantage of 1.21 vs 1.11. I find 1.11 to be
faster and the signal strength to all wireless connections better. Mods please comment....

There are quite a bit of technical changes that I cant quite disclose, the changes are generally beneficial or strategic.

If you find that SharePort and SecureSpot are both services that you do not require, not to mention increase your overall performance. You are by no means obligated to upgrade.

I believe it was stated earlier "If it isn't broke, don't fix it".

   technically is it a true statement to say that the OS on 1.11 is faster (less code) then 1.21 or is 1.21 technically better. Only asking about SPEED and Signal strength??

Thanks

Our lab isn't quite the IDEAL home situation and it needs to be understood that our lab cant possibly replicate every possible user scenario. However, we do try and cover the "basics".

As far as speed, What is your benchmark of choice? actual line throughput? wireless throughput? QoS? WAN to LAN speed? etc.

Wal,

   I  have 6 mb down/1 mb up service from local Cable company,

my setup is ALL G:

1 wired in 100 mb

2 wireless within 15 feet of router
2 wireless upstairs

   when I check signal strength with 1.11 vs 1.21 wireless connections:

Ver 1.11 - 3  connections 100% 1 connection 90%

Ver 1.21 - latest Beta 1 connection 100%, 1 connection 87%, 1 connection 80%, 1 connection at 60%

   I tried twice with basically same results, I did NOT move any wireless connecting in, all I did was reset and re-flash to the firmwares above.

   Using Time Warner speed tests, ver 1.11 consistently was faster by .5 mb on d/l and u/l is the same as 1.21.

Are you reloading configurations that were saved in 1.11? if so, try to manually reapply your desired configuration. I'll look into it...

[EddieZ]

Wal_,

You might wanna check if it's the method of measurement or the radio 'pattern' that has changed (or is influenced), causing the difference in signal %. I can verify the differences between 1.11 and 1.21/1.20, which are also noticeable on the client side. Also there seems to be a bit more variance in the 1.20/1.21 signal.

I'd be interested what has changed in the radio registers AND/OR antenna diversity.

   ALL configurations are put in MANUALLY for both 1.11 and 1.21 beta.

With me it's cost to 40mb down and 5mbps up for what I get, 1.11 having is having issues with wireless N. Speed is find for downloading but if you say there is increase in performance I'll give it a shot down.

As your correct ideal connections will vary about customers. Everyone setup is going to be completely different DLINK can only create environment that the router can operate in.

Hope they are going to release it soon, the new 1.2102 / 1.22 works fine now but want the securespot version
