Firmware for Bigpond Aircard 790S

Thanks for responding.

Various tests from Win 8.1. Some via USB tethered and some via ethernet to the Billion router with the 790S tethered to the Billion.

The consistent result either way is 12-15Mbps with the 790S and 17-19Mbps on the 320U. Both devices using same roof antenna and TS-9 patch lead. So on average the 320U is about 20-30% faster download. Still on original shipped firmware.
