Hi all,

If you’re using the fonera downloader addon from wan and Firefox show this error message:

we have a solution for you.

Log into the fonera via it’s WAN IP address using https. In this example I’ll use 172.16.44.229 as the fonera WAN IP Address, so log into:

https://172.16.44.229/luci

Then an error should appear saying that the site has a self-signed certificate and should ask you if you understand the risks and add an exception:

This next window will show, click on Confirm security exception and double check that the option Permanently store this exception is checked.

Once you’ve added the exception the error should no longer occur.

In case you want to check the certificate go to Firefox’s preferences, select the Advanced tab, go to encryption and click on view certificates.

You will see the certificate manager, go to the server’s tab and you can see the fonera’s certificate.

This issue has already been reported in our support forums.

Hope this helps,

Javier

From the department of release often, release early, we have a new foneradownloader addon release.

This release brings small bugfixes introduced in the previous release and small features to the download manager window.

We’ve added some filtering options in case you want to distinguish from torrents and downloads easily.

We have also added a sorting option so you can track more easily the current state of all your downloads. Currently you can sort by paused, completed or in progress downloads. We hope you like this small update.

That’s all, bugs and issues belong to our support forums ;-)
Get it from here

Thanks,
Javier

UPDATE: Somehow I managed to upload a pre-release version of the plugin with a bug for Mac users. :( Please verify you’re using the correct xpi with this md5 checksum: 7c940083aebaf2d9b5a0df492277b5b3

Hi all,

We have a new foneradownloader firefox extension release. This new release brings some small enhancement and a ‘geeky’ feature for massive downloaders which may miss from other download manager extensions.

First, the settings dialog no longer applies it’s settings ‘on-the-fly’. This is done because some users complained about problems on the extension re-connecting when the address is still not fully typed.

And now for the new feature… when you right click on a web page and you’re connected to the fonera, a new item will show: “Find links for fonera”.

When this item is selected, a window will pop-up with all links/images the page has. We think this will be a nice feature for when you are in a page with lots of links and you don’t want to bother rightclick-ing each one of them!

Think about this feature when you go to an image gallery webpage and you want to download all pics, or all isos from a linux distro or maybe all zips from a multiple volume download.

To make this task even easier, we’ve included a small toolbar with pre-selected filters: images, movies, music, torrents, rapidshare and megaupload. When you select any of these filters, all links matching will be automatically selected so you then send them to your fonera. This filters can be modified from the ‘about:config‘ preferences page in Firefox. You need to type about:config in the url to access it.

But that’s not all, we also included a ’search as you type’ filter for when you have lots of links but you know what you’re looking for.

And as usual, we included small bugfixes to enhance the user experience and full support for lastest firmware for both fonera2.0 n & g. We really hope you like this small upgrade, so please test it and report bugs you find in our user forums.

Get it here!
Thanks,
Javier

Yes, now it works.

Anyone who had problems installing it or after upgrading from flipper:

1) Remove the FoneraApps from the disk where transmission was installed (the one plugged to the fonera ;D)
2) Reinstall
3) download and enjoy!!

yes, john is fast ;)

Hi

After one day on display… we already have a lot of feedback from you guys about the 2.3.0.1RC1 of the fonera 2.0g.

There is one big bug: Transmission will NOT install!!!!
OH MY!!!!! This is a huge problem (no kidding). And we apologize. We will fix it as soon as possible and let you know when it’s ready.

We also received a few more bugs, like the disks to unmount (or seem to unmount) unnecessarily… that we already know the cause of. So we will fix that soon too. It’s a problem with the kernel version, tricky stuff for our master developer, blogic ;)

Hey, but we also got veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery (a long ‘very’) possitive feedback and that makes us happy. Let’s see if we keep up!

thanks

Hi

After a looooooong time of silence (forced silence… we were working, not playing XD) We’re coming with great news for you. The 2.3.0.0 version of the firmware will be soon available for your foneras 2.0g!!

No, we haven’t forgot or let down our loyal fonera 2.0g users. We want to make them as happy as possible and we’re doing 2 things for them:
1) Improve the firmware as much as possible. This 2.3.0.0 has all the improvements we’ve developed during these months. The Fonera 2.0g will have as much as possible the same firmware as the Fonera 2.0n.
2) Give discounts for those who are willing to upgrade their 2.0g to 2.0n. We know you spent money on the 2.0g and now we have a new device that is more powerful (and also more expensive). This is not common in all companies, but hey, we try to make you happy, you help us with the feedback too, after all. So we have announced great discounts (we mean great, not small) for those who have bought a Fonera 2.0g and are willing to upgrade it! Please stay tuned to your mail!
New features:

• The web interface over WAN has been moved to port 443 for security
• Transmission has been integrated into the FON WebUI. You can still access it in the traditional way!
• Added QoS support!! Make sure you set realistic up and download values of your line on the configuration. Otherwise it doesn’t work…
• Twitter!!! Yes, your fonera will tell you when it has finished uploading videos or someone connects to your signal and much more! (Not available for Torrents yet, sorry)

So, what is the bugfix list for this RC1? Here it goes (hold to your chair):

• Optional Manual DNS server on DHCP mode.
• Pop up to prevent unwilling reset/rebooting on the systems menu.
• ALL configurations are saved now from upgrade to upgrade (except for firewall, coming in the next!).
• Sending files to the correct folder over samba triggers the upload to the corresponding service.
• Samba works fine now on Windows XP.
• NTFS is handled slightly better now. Actions won’t happen till the disk is properly mounted (source of many bugs).
• More robust upload management.
• Filenames starting with ‘.’ are ignored by the service uploades (picasa, flickr etc). Good for Macs ;)
• Both \\fonera\Media and \\fonera\disc-a1 work now (better use the first)
• Many, many, many, many more bug fixing. All boring and internal, but will improve the overall experience!

Please, test it and report back. We are only looking for compatibility bugs.

*IMPORTANT NOTE* This is a Release Candidate. It is not an stable firmware. Most of the things should work fine and it’s probably safe to install. But if you are not very skillful or feel not confident about it… please wait for the release or until you read enough feedback from other users. We are happy to help everybody with any problems they experience but sometimes are overloaded of work… ;)

*ANOTHER ONE* After upgrading, the torrent application might be broken. This is due to changes in the very interior of the fonera. The way to fix it is to remove the “FoneraApps” from the disc where it is installed and reinstall.
Enjoy!

Hi

There’s a new FoneraDownloader extension release for Firefox. In this release we have included these new features and enhancements:

• Add a preferences option to indicate the use of the plugin from WAN. (No more workarounds in user/password settings. You still need to reach transmission (9091) & luci (80) ports from wan as before).
• Fixes in transmission’s session error handling (thanks to cyrusFF).
• Change information icon to green.
• Small information tooltip in torrents icon with more download stats (upload/download rate/peers).
• Icon and separator in context menu so it’s easier to visualize download action.
• Force username to “fonero” to avoid authentication problems with previous installations of the plugin.
• Show error messages in the download window as well as in the statusbar.
• Order downloads, in progress first.
• Selected text (with downloadable links) has a higher priority than html links.
• bugfixes and some performance fixes.

You can get it from here:

Please test & enjoy!

OldMan released a pre-beta version of his plugin. He ported Motion software to the Fonera 2.0!

With the application installed and a webcam connected to your Fonera 2.0, you will be able to trigger events when motion is detected. A built in functionality is for example to save the images captured by the webcam when motion occurs. Needless to say with a bit of scripting the possibilities are endless.

Download the plugin Motion4fon_0.1beta.tar.gz
Draft version of the manual page on FON Wiki
