WN604 firmware upgrade from 2.3.2 to 3.3.2 and away from air...

Just to tell the story:

I have a WN604 operating for YEARS in my home network, just needed 2 reboots so far after running in an error - the 2nd reboot was today (entire network was down because the WN604).

 

So while checking if it works after reboot I just got the idea that there could be a newer firmware version available than 2.3.2 that I had - and it was: 3.3.2.

 

I should have known, but I was in a mood to touch a running system....

 

The upgrade did run properly and over the cable conection I could reconnect to the WN604 after the automatic reboot. BUT MY WLAN WAS NO MORE VISIBLE FOR ANY WIRELESS DEVICE!!

 

I tried an tried to change something - but no success. I've seen the "blue light" at the device beeing just on without any flickering.

 

I got my WLAN back after I "updated" version 2.3.2 again - what erased all configurations.... but I found my WLAN again in the air.

 

So I've learned once more: NEVER TOUCH A **bleep** RUNNING SYSTEM!!!!!
