Re: Beta Firmware BEFW11S4v1 Here is my results so far,
(1) Apart from confusion of how to use wireless MAC access control, setup is fairly easy and painless. I still have no clue how do you setup a specific wireless MAC to allow its access to the router while others will not. The page is confusing and I only have one wireless card to test.
(2) Counter-Strike still works but wireless Activity light now keep flashing the same rate as the wired port that is playing the game. Maybe that is how things suppose to work. No problem with game play at all.
(3) TraceRoute works well.
(4) XP sees the router and displays status well. Status page reports router speed as 3.2 mbps - a hardcoded value for all linksys routers.
(5) Tried disable SSID broadcasting and my DLink PCMCIA wireless card works fine with it.
(6) Tried power off the router and put it back on. The Wireless LAN stays activated. Earlier version usually end up with wireless disabled. Will test more see if this indeed has been fixed.
(7) The internal setup pages seem show up slower than before but no big deal. There is a noticeable delay before page shows up. However, general internet browsing speed is not affected.
