Netgear heeft voor zijn WNDR3700-routers nieuwe firmware uitgebracht met 1.0.4.55 als het versienummer. De draadloze verbindingen zijn van het type 802.11n en worden eventueel voorzien van een WPA(2)-PSK of WPA(2) Enterprise beveiliging. Daarnaast zijn er vijf gigabit ethernet poorten aanwezig waarvan er één aan de wan-kant zit en de andere vier intern gebruikt kunnen worden. De lijst met veranderingen voor versie 1.0.4.55 ziet er als volgt uit:
New Features & Bug Fixes:Known Issues:
- Fixed: “iPhone keeps asking for wireless passphrase” issue.
- Fixed: “Repeater mode cause Wlan loop, freeze routers”. We disallow repeater is enabled on two radio interfaces.
- Fixed: “Getting Static/Fixed IP address when running Smart wizard”. It doesn’t solve the MAC clone issue, if the modem only record the first MAC address, then user still needs to reboot modem and after set clone MAC in the web GUI.
- NTFS write performance (upload to WNDR3700 attached USB storage) is slower than read.
- Sometimes clicking “Safely remove USB device” button can't remove USB storage safely. Workaround: Make sure you are not accessing the attached USB device and the LED on USB device is not blinking (it means no one is accessing it). Then you need to remove the USB device directly and ignore the message about “remove USB device failure) from web GUI.
- The record time interval of storing statistics data in traffic meter is extended to 60 mins instead of 5 mins to extend flash sector life time. If you power off router in between, you may see the statistics data to be slightly inconsistent. We’ll solve this problem soon and shorten the record time interval less than 5 mins. Workaround: Don’t power off router if you want most accurate measure of traffic statistics data. This will be fixed in upcoming firmware.
- Some ISP modem services will be detected as Static IP by using CD Smart Wizard or web GUI setup wizard. Workaround: Please log in web GUI without running CD directly, choose basic setting in the setup category->select “No”-> Click “Apply”. Then you should be able to get IP address from your ISP and connect to internet.
- If a conflict DNS address is assigned by DHCP server (IP address is not conflict) from WAN side of WNDR3700, it won’t be found as an IP conflict. The LAN IP address won’t be changed. Workaround: Modify LAN IP address manually.
- ReadyShare Internet access - Enable ReadyShare Internet access via ftp with default port 21, it still allows users to add port forward rule using port 21. Enable ReadyShare Internet access via http with default port 80, it still allows users to add port forward rule using port 80. Workaround: Change the ftp and http port to other ports in ReadyShare advanced settings page if users want to add port forwarding rule with port 21 or 80.
