Does anyone have issues with this upgrade.

  • Hardware Version: EX7000
  • 1.0.0.66
  • New Version 1.0.1.84_1.0.148
  • Firmware Version: V1.0.0.66_1.0.126

Awhile ago I did an update and it was horrible.  Extender became very buggy, crashed all the time, and I had to reboot it continually.   I had to back load the firmware to 1.0.0.66.

 

Is this new update worth doing?  Has anyone any issues with it?

 

Does it give me any advantages?

 

Comments.

Re: Does anyone have issues with this upgrade.

I don't have one but if you're going to try the upgrade, I'd recommend doing it over a hardwired connection. Also for best results, after the upgrade, try a factory reset and manual re-install. sometimes the firmware changes enough that old settings can cause problems.
