1.06h Firmware

Post by Tomken »

Just checked /esupport to see if the new f/w has been released - it has and noticed a tutorial on how to install it.

As it's been a while, thought I'd refresh my memory (at that age :) ) and was surpised to see that in the PDF it said that rebooting using Current Settings would suffice when it always has been stipulated that we should reboot only using Factory Settings.

Clarification please billion_fan

Reboot with default settings, as we cannot be sure what firmware people are currently running eg 1.06a >> 1.06h there are major changes so a reset is needed.

Thanks, I would normally reboot using the default settings - I was just wondering why a tutorial would give instructions that may not see the f/w correctly installed - perhaps it should be ammended.

While I've downloaded the new f/w, I'm waiting to see if anyone has any problems with it before I install it.

This firmware was released on the test section of the forum, no reported issues yet (other then the blank DHCP table which happens to some customers that our engineers are investigating at the moment)

As I posted in another thread , I used current settings on the flash/restart with no obvious problems.

My DHCP table is also blank but I use fixed IPs for all my devices & these appear in the ARP table.

Thanks billion_fan and tinytim for the info.

Regarding the DHCP Table issue, does that mean there would be another f/w update when the engineers have sorted that out ?

Good question Tomken!

I'm currently on 1.06g and not having any issues with it other than the lack of connected client information so the DHCP info would be probably the main reason for upgrading if I do it. I think I'll wait to see what the news is from the engineers.

Billion_fan - any news from the engineers re if there'll be a further update to 1.06H to cover the DHCP issue?
