Title: Billion 7800N 1.06h Firmware
Post by: MarlyM on Jan 12, 2013, 07:37:41
Hi all,

I see Billion released the 1.06h firmware for the 7800N some 10 days ago in Australia.

Anyone know when we can expect it in the UK?

Thanks.

I've no idea sorry but looking at past releases, it ranges from 1-4 months after the Australian release.

Thanks Adrian, I haven't summoned the enthusiasm yet ,it's a shame that you can't use configuration files from an earlier version.

The router software looks to be well maintained so am looking forward to getting my hands on one next week.

Yes, that is a real PITA. I forgot to set up port forwarding for my mail server and it was only after I hadn't received any e-mail for about 12 hours that the penny dropped. Thank goodness for backup mx servers.
