Firmware r2671 has now been pushed onto the stable upgrade servers.
Prior to doing so, all networks were set to "disable automatic firmware upgrades". This was done so you can choose when you'd like to upgrade as the upgrade process can result in up to 1 hour of down time. To start your upgrade, just uncheck this box on the "Advanced" tab of your networks dashboard page.
IMPORTANT: When adding nodes to an upgraded network, it is highly recommended that you let them upgrade BEFORE you take them on site. If nodes lose power during the upgrade, they have to be manually reflashed. Upgrading before you deploy frees you from any worry about unplugging them as you move them around during install. To update any existing nodes you have, simply plug them into an internet connection for a couple of hours.
Key enhancements in this version:
1. New Local Web Page accessed at http://my.open-mesh.com:8080. You will also see a list of neighbor nodes and their RSSI values and a speed test to the gateway. This information can be very helpful when installing nodes in a network. Login as "admin" and the root password shown on the top of the Advanced tab of the dashboard.
2. General stability improvements, especially on some non open-mesh devices that are listed on the "Compatible Solutions" link.
3. Improved support for the CoovaOM AAA service.
4. LAN Block and AP Isolation now work only on Access Point #1. So you can block users on the "open" SSID while retaining network access on the secure "private" SSID.
