DON'T DO IT IF YOU USE SHAREPORT AND HAVE A3/A4 HARDWARE VERSIONS.

I tried to do that in giant all-caps.

re: SharePort

I am curious, can you attach a usb hub and have multiple usb devices?

Thanks for the heads up, did the update earlier but haven't had a chance to check out the new features (if any). I did mess around with Shareport a bit from the previous firmware but never really found a use for it. I've actually got my eye on the DIR-825 (want the dual band wireless) but since my 655 has been rock solid I really have no immediate need to upgrade.

Honestly, I'm not certain. I use it with a standard (non ip) multifunction printer/fax/scanner and have a wired and 3 wireless laptops that share access to it with no issues. Well - I was until I did the new firmware and Shareport stopped working.

THanks for the update though!

I upgraded to the new firmware on Monday and all is well here. Better actually with sme of the streaming I do.

I don't use Shareport though.

Flashed yesterday. A2 over here, no Shareport. Solid as always.

Vise, I want the new one too! But the damn thing is so solid, I don't have a reason to get rid of it......... yet

Yeah, unless some serious advantages to the upgrade arise, I'm going to leave my firmware as is. I've had zero issues with this thing.
