Hi Updated from v10 to v13, no problems so far, only a basic user,I don't use any features on my n66u. I previously had a uptime of 6 months! But I did have some downtime a couple of weeks ago which reset the timer. Thanks John and merlin for the continued support.

Yeah I agree this fork firmware is really good, I've tried a few of the later versions and range does not seem as good, so I always went back to 374.43 and with John's work on security fixes and such is great!

Some of you guys mentioning reboots, i can't say I have noticed any reboots on my n66u on version 10. Looking in system log uptime is 5 days 22 hours, I take it that would change if I rebooted or the router kept rebooting? Cheers

Thanks guys I think I might just power it off or maybe just disable the WiFi radios

Just checked with update 10 on my n66u and vpn details page looks fine. I came from update 8 and never done a reset but did power cycle the router. *can't comment on vpn ip ranges as I have no idea about that.

Hi Bit of a stupid question really but I guess I'm paranoid!, is it best to turn off your wireless router when away for say a holiday? Or would that do more harm than good if I turned it off for such a length of time. Thanks:)

Thanks John I upgraded my N66U to 10 today from update 8. I never reset, just a power cycle. All seems fine so far.:)

ah ok, must of just been because only just using your firmware from update 7 and your recent update 8/9 fixes. I may skip update 9 and wait for update 10 and do a full reset, although you state reset is not needed I dont mind doing them as I dont have a lot of settings to change. thanks

Hello I see you have a new update 9 out, would you say its important to update from update 8 to update 9, or does the old saying go "if it ain't broke". You seem to release new updates very quick. I gather you will be releasing an update 10 shortly with the OpenSSL fix so if I skipped update...

What is the download master code for which you left out of your recent update. Is it an optional extra or do I need it? thankyou

Im using a fixed channel (6), as like you say I stream video on my amazon fire tv box, at present I cant see any problems with performance or other issues so will leave everthing as it is, but if I run into problems I will try some of the things you suggested. Might take a look at the WMM APSD...

That's good to know.

John do you have plans to change the network map device area so it shows devices online either wireless or wired like merlins latest firmware? I personally like it as it is, with just the one list showing all devices, quite simple and does not give as much information but I prefer it like that...

Just to say thanks John. Im running update 8 on my n66u and so far all seems good. I downgraded from 378.51 so did a reset. not changed much in way of settings. Just using a fixed channel for 2.4ghz band and disabled wps. Is there any tweaks I should make?

Thanks John, might attempt update 8 tomorrow. With regards to jffs I will check that but I assume it will be disabled as I don't use custom scripts nor do I know what they areo_O:) For resetting I normally do the 5 sec hold of the reset button or the wps button for 30 secs while powering on...
