Linksys → Re: BEFSR81 V1 and V2 v2.45.7 Beta Test

BTW Frosty, how do we know this is official Linksys firmware?

Thanks, RP...

Cool, let us know how your QoS setup and testing goes.

I can guarantee you this firmware is from Linksys.
It has not been altered or modified in any form or fashion.

It's not 'official' because it's not available for download from their FTP site nor do they offer tech support for this firmware. (yet)

If our tests prove worthy, they'll make this firmware for the V1 and V2 official. Otherwise, they'll 'go back to the drawing board' to catch some minor issues, and hopefully release it sooner than later.

Frosty, I had no reason to believe it wasn't the real thing but I'm installing this on routers that belong to several of my customers and just wanted to make sure.

BTW, I'm now running it on a third SR81 and everything is looking good.

RP...

Woah, cool.
Didn't know you were throwing this firmware to the lions.
That's good.

If it holds up, that's a sign of a good firmware.
Don't ya think?
It's been rock solid here.

I simply wished all the other users that were around a year or so ago that used VPN and played other games would see this and try it out.

Installed this version one day ago and noticed the system made a spontaneous reset this morning. I am not sure what is causing this and try catching it the coming days.

Previous version 2.44.2 didn't experience this behaviour and could stay up for weeks...

is it really true.....i wanna test it....i have no doubt about what you sai frosty but i just wanna make sure....

Hello,

I have a BEFRS81 V.3 that does NOT want to port forward 1723 to my Windows Server 2003 VPN Server properly. PPTP passthrough is turned on. It gets to the point of "Verifying User Name and PW" and just hangs. It works for Remote Desktop Protocol, but not for VPN. I have had issues with having to downgrade firmware before, but no luck, there isn't any firmware available that will go on version 3. Any idea what could be going on?? It's currently at firmware 2.45.5. I've set this up dozens of times with no problems on other routers. And when I try to connect internally (LAN) I have no problem connecting via VPN. Any help is greatly GREATLY appreciated. Please email me with help at: john@1stchoicetek.com

Thanks in advance,
John
