Just noticed that my firmware was updated to 8.0.33. Anybody know what the differences are from 8.0.24?

Did the new firmware automatically install?

Ours has 7..5.55X, I've been wondering if/when/how the firmware version upgrades happen.

I chatted with tech support last week and they said we were still 2-3 weeks from the 8.x going public.

SL:

I do not think it has been released yet.
7.5.55x is the best available version for the time being if you were not a beta tester....

If you call tech support they might push it to you in advance of public release...

Thanks
Then I know its connecting to the right updated servers

I set the factory settings and let it update from 6.5 to 7.5 so i guess its just not been released yet....

I just glanced over some posts saying it was
so was confused

Thanks again

I just got an update yesterday according to my logs, which is right when my email and my remote desktop access to my job quit working! I finally narrowed it down to the router and this crapware update, so don't be in such a hurry to get it. I apparently actually got 2 firmware updates, from 7.5 yesterday to 8.x today, so I had to reboot the router and restore all my rules and settings TWICE to get my email back, still can't get remote desktop to work correctly, I've lost a ton of time off work and had a lot of aggravation over this crapware update, and of course there was no ability to connect with support through live chat, because they never answer! All the time I spent going through the help files tells me my slow/go internet connection and inability to connect issues are apparently the router's fault.

A big BLEAH! to sofaware, what a PITA!

Anti-Virus no longer seems to slow down the box?

In V7.xx of the firmware I noticed a rather dramatic drop in throughput of the Z100G when I turned on VStream Anti-virus (like I lost about 2Mb of bandwidth) that no longer seems to be the case based on some limited testing I did this morning ... there seems to be no real drop any more....

Anybody else test this?

Thanks,
Jim
