Hello NigelSh

 

You will have to log into the cradle and check the for new firmware that way or if you have a cradle supplied from your ISP check with them on firmware updates.

    Hi DarrenM,

    Thanks for the advice.

    I was able to check that no updates are available for my  cradle.

    Therefore this suggests I am running the current code and there is a bug that is preventing my HP envy priter from connecting WIiFi to the DC112A cradle.

    This is the same as the problem I found on the AirCard810S when I first purchassed it which was eventually fixed by Netgear in a later code release.

    Looks like there are not enough of the cradles around for worth making the same fix to the cradle firmware.

     

    So I'm still linited to using my Airport as my local WiFi dispite having a very expensive DC112A cradle.

     

    Regards

    Nigel
