In short: this firmware version was checked for about 3 months in the Russian forum and it works fine here. No file problems, etc.

As for problems with your files: if you've usb powered hdd (no dedicated power supply), then you will end up with corrupted files due to hardware problems. Running e2fsck is recomended anyway - filesystem corruption may occure due to hard reboots, etc.

As for WiFi - the wifi is now managed in the same way as newer asus firmwares. WPA-Auto-Personal acts just like it's desribed in the release notes. If you want WPA+WPA2 at the same time, then set encryption to TKIP+AES.

hmm... ok I will try that setting for wifi then.
But still the question rises.. TKIP and AES... will it use this config then: WPA2 AES and WPA TKIP?

For my harddrive, I use a HDD with a powersupply, if you don't plug it in, it just doesnt work.
I never had files dissapearing or anything like it, I also didn't do any hard resets.
what do you recommend oleg? the setting for usb hdd in the web-menu? or this setting in the post boot:

insmod scsi_mod && insmod sd_mod && insmod usb-storage

I pretty much use this harddrive 1TB as backup device so... that's why I don't wanna loose any files. But I just want the newer firmware for the new FTP server

thanks for the reply

Save your config/settings (flashfs) before upgrading. After upgrading upload your saved flashfs file and you're back online. Even on my USB powered HD.
Same story goes for the WLHDD, the Fonera connects through WPA2 as he gets recognized as a client(Fonera has FreeWlan firmware)!

So you use both the hdd mod and the automatic mounting thingy in the web-admin?
