Based on the incremental FW change/description, if performance benefit isn't coming from the inclusion of "Fing", i.e., enhanced devices recognition, where is this "somewhere else" exactly? For references, I don't use DIL, Armor, and Sonos. CPU uage in v2.5.0.40 is extrememly high due to devices scanning and I don't do speed test while trying to rename devices at the same time. Take a look at the picture bellow from a previous post regarding performance degradation/issue with v2.5.0.40.

Based on your above statement/claim, please share with us what you believe to be the "source" for the improved performance in v2.5.1.8. I'm ready to listen and learn about your insight. Thanks!

New Features and Enhancements:

Enhances the device recognition mechanism of the attached devices list
Add DAL into firmware for several features, like DIL, Armor.
Include Fing for device recognition.

Bug Fixes:

Fixes the compatibility issue with Sonos devices.
Update the web server certification of RBR50/RBS40

Curious, are you seeing the same CPU load now with v1.8 loaded? Or is it lower?

I posted my two cents about device renaming before finding this ariticle and the new firmware. Applying it today and see what happens. Thanks for the heads up on the forums: it makes life a bit more predictable :smileyvery-happy:
