Mh... I don't understand what you mean...

The firmware fix the only securty issue that the router had (and that also verson 5.13 fixed).

Any other?

Just from looking at the screenshots on your site there appears to be several enhancements. WPA2, bridge mode/access point mode options, and better logging to name a few. The interface is much more cluttered, but I don't really care about that. I'm hoping this will have better bridge support so I can use this instead of a wireless bridge. Wireless bridges tend to cost more than routers for some odd reason.

I've not tested, but if you see this screen shot:

Btw WDS was present still before.

OPS...

Update...

Thread Removed in broadbandreports :-|

I knew WDS was there before, but it wasn't obivious that the wr850g would operate as an ethernet -> wireless bridge with non WDS enabled routers. I am curious as to what the other options under "Operation Mode" there are on the 'Basic' screen (screenshot)

Operation Mode could set to "Router" o to "Access Point". Basically, if it works as access point is like the motorola wa840g. Btw, in my lan it doesn't worked that setting. I've a Cisco ISDN router connected to internet and the Motorola router has the Cisco router as gateway. So I tried to set my Moto only as AP, but I had problem. As router works correctly and it has all the features actived (like firewall, that as AP is disabled).

Bye!

I was hoping that Operation Mode would have Access Point, Router and Bridge. Looks like I'll have to figure out the bridge functionality on my own. I'd like to use it as a wireless adapter for a gaming console, but my other wireless router doesn't support WDS. If it could act like a WE800G that would be nice.

It is interesting that it has problems with Access Point mode. I am currently using my WR850G as an access point point behind a Siemens router. I just disabled the WAN and DHCP on the WR850 then hooked the Siemens router to one the WR850G's LAN ports.

I tried out the new firmware and I bricked my router. I used the web interface to upgrade it from 5.13. The update page said "Update Failed". I tried a few times, but it wouldn't go. I reset it and it never came back up. I can no longer access the control panel and it acts only as a switch. I get a response when I ping it aat

Mh... I do start thinking that version 5.13 gives problems also when upgrading... I upgraded from 4.03, and as you can see, has gone all well.

Btw the forum in BroadBandReporters has been re-opened. Maybe it's better to continue there:
