Re: Beta Firmware BEFW11S4v1 Thanks for posting the 1.42.7 firmware... Downloaded and flashed my router tonight. Works great... except the WEP bug.
Re: WEP - This is a bad bug! The list of bugs fixed in the initial message from Linksys Tech 2 actually claims that a bug which allowed non-WEP clients to connect to a WEP-mandatory router was fixed. To me, looks like it was introduced! (Or maybe it was there before and I didn't notice... but it certainly wasn't fixed with 1.42.7).
Set your router to Mandatory WEP and it still allows non-WEP clients to connect! Was it always like this? Or did it break in this version or some other recent version of the firmware?
Re: The Station MAC Address Filter page. Looks like you can use this to specify either MAC addresses to *allow* or to *exclude*. First you must enable Station MAC Filtering (checkbox on Wireless page). Then in the list page, enter the MAC addresses you want to *allow*, with no "-"'s, and *DO NOT* check "Filter"-- as "Filter" will *exclude* the address as opposed to allowing it.
My setup is probably the common scenario, where you want to explicitly list your clients and exclude everyone else. Haven't tested it thoroughly, but appears to be working.
