Firmware versions 3 and earlier were perfectly fine and completely flawless but versions 4 are total crap! If I have the configuration set to "router mode" all is well (but I cannot browse devices on my wired network hence my desire to configure them as AP's). however whe i switch them to AP mode the wifi connected devices will work for 20-30 seconds and then drop for 10-15 seconds and before reconnecting. Similarly the sattelites constantly lose connectivity and then re-connect only to lose connectivity. Also the indicator lights on the sattelites are a constant purple.
I have tested and retested this with several wifi clients. Id REALLY like to know how to roll back to firmware version 3 or get firmware that actually works so i don't have to return these now USELESS devices.
