I'll see if I can obtain a later or better version. On my BEFW11S4 v4 I backed off from a later firmware version (don't remember which) to version 1.50.10 and it seemed to solve the streaming problems and continual need to reset. Currently it is a wireless accesspoint only and seems rock solid for that use. [BEFW11S4 v4 accesspoint only] to [Linksys switch] to [Netopia 2241N DSL modem/router]. -- Ben

At one point, I went back to 1.50.14, which did NOT solve the hang and reconnection failure problem. However, I didn't try 1.5.10. I'll give it a try. At this point, I have 3 of them, and all are next to useless. However, as I previously mumbled, it't not the wireless section that hangs. It's the router section. -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl(a)cruzio.com 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |
