Since DynDNS is not free anymore… is there any possibility to add any other DNS service like open DNS?
OpenWRT also has a module.

Thanks

Beta2 is nearly there! I had hoped to release it today, but both the SVN server and the build server were acting up, so I haven’t been able to commit my updated changelog and version bump yet. Both issues should be fixed early next week (in the worst case I’ll do a local build and commit later). So, hang in there!

tman, hidden SSID support is not planned (it’s not really a security gain either, of course).

This morning my Fonero 2.0n won’t let my computergrograms connect to internet: all computers including Linux. I always got the yellow page with want to sent me to the router to repair my settings. Nothing helps including updating the firmware. However ping shows there was a connection.
At a fon blog I found that there was a new beta firmware 2.3.7.0. After installing everything was back to normal! The nice thing was that I did not have to set special things like wlan, permanent ip numbers etc. The router stil knows them.
Thanks very much!

Another status update is due, so here it is. I've spent quite some time debugging wifi-bridge mode on 2.0g, but in the end it turns out there is a fudamental problem with wifi-bridge mode. On 2.0n, the wifi driver contains a complex workaround, but 2.0g is not so lucky. The conclusion from this is that we will not be supporting wifi-bridge mode on 2.0g, since it simply cost too much to make it work, and might not even work reliably in the end. See ticket #1080 for the technical details. Another feature I've been working on is wifi scanning from the webgui. Since it makes wifi mode a lot more userfriendly, I wanted to include it in the beta2 release. However, turns out the 2.0g driver again caused problems here. I've finally solved those problems this afternoon, so I'll be ready to commit this feature after a bit more testing (see ticket #1059 for details and progress). These two issues are the ones I really wanted to resolve before doing a beta2. There's still some other outstanding issues, but I guess I can get to those later. That leaves me with one issue: Our autobuilder is having some problems. Hopefully those can be resolved soon, but otherwise I'll just do a manual build for beta2. togarha, what do you mean with "doesn't work" ? Does the enable/disable setting not get saved properly, or does the signal not disappear? Normally, the FON_FREE_INTERNET signal should automatically be shut down when your internet connection is down (or at least when the Fonera is having connection problems) and be enabled again when it is back up. tman, the telnet client was restored in a recent commit. Alessio, I'm not sure if that will happen in the near future. No plans yet. Admiral0, your IP display issue was solved in SVN trunk already. See ticket #886 for details.

Hi,
you guys think Pyload will be implemented in the future to official firmware?
