Please repair buggy NAS over wifi; it is no longer possible to watch a video from the NAS without hiccups. Also enable passwordless access to NAS through ethernet; why is there a password anyway. Password for NAS by Wifi I understand, but ethernet …

And can anyone explain to me why this firmware has not been released to the community yet ? I mean nobody is expecting much by now; let the community fix it: FON will not make any money from people who read the articles about firmware support and development. If you release the firmware and let others contribute you might save your image.

A bit harsh, I know, and certainly no disrespect intended but hey; finish the product with stable -minimal- release or release it and use the time otherwise. We have waited long enough.

@schunz:

I do not think the torrent function is totally broken; I use it to share / upload several (7) files with a size of 100- 300 mb at a very slow speed (20kb/s).
Works for me.
The NAS function is buggy; as you have said large files seem to be the cause. Not that I love FON that much, but for their credit I have to add that my fritzbox 7270 has this bug too with its actual firmware..
Not that this changes anything, but I just wanted to mention it. ;)

And 3G is not making wlan useless, certainly not within the next few years. Berlin (where I live) is (again) trying to establish a (free) wlan at all the “ringbahn” train-stations, which surround the city center to give users a stable and fast internet-connection. A thing which the mobile phone companies cannot and will not be able to provide at the moment because of their poor network coverage and poor network capacity.

So FON can still make useres .. well .. let´s say “less unhappy” when they release a final stable firmware. Hey, I am 30 years and plan to live at least until I am ~75. So, hurry up, fon! ;)
just my 2 cents.

At least the basic router functionality works now without seeing the orange internet misconfigured page all the time.
All other additional features are more or less broken. Transferring several or large files is still unreliable. So as a NAS it’s broken. Without a reliable NAS functionality torrent and Rapidshare etc. don’t make any sense.

I turned off the fon signal a year ago. Nobody ever used it anyway. I had a fonera since the original one. Never was there anyone who used my network to connect to the internet. Despite me having lived in densely populated places close to the city center.

The idea was good. The execution sometimes lacking. With ubiquitous 3G fon will never be relevant again.

I was pretty interested in repeater feature, and once tried it seems to work great!

In case of any issue I’ll submit it..

Hi, I installed 2.3.7.0 beta 2, and till now, I don’t have any bugs to report (but I’m just doing a basic use). For me, the big added value is the wifi-wan feature ! I would like to know if there is a plan to keep this function, and to add “basic repeater” mode. My issue is that devices wire-connected to the Fonera are on another network. My ideal world would be to have everything on the same network (managed by the “main” router). Thanks. Michael
