Re: New - R8500 Firmware Version 1.0.2.160 Released - EOL

The 8500 has done into EoL state. So no new FW would be forth coming. 

I've not seen any issues with DNS if users set IPv6 to AUTO or configure a IPv6 DNS configuration on the router, i.e. Hurricane Electric IPv6 services. 

 

Good Luck.

I have been using .160 and other than the iP6 requirement as just mentioned, OPEN DNS needs to use the default filtering addresses and cannot use the 'custom setting' IP addresses that are standard since you cannot set any levels if you use them and have no filtering.

 

This is a very capable router and should not be EOL.  Also needs at least one more update since it was messed up...
