This page contains the various firmwares released by Foscam.
They are intended to be used only on Foscam cameras model FI8908W.Please, read this first:
Some externally identical IP cameras may not be from Foscam. Generally their packaging and web interface is different. Flashing a non-Foscam camera with the firmwares above can render it irrecoverably useless. Check this page for some verification tips.
Never flash your camera 'over the air', use the Ethernet connection during this operation! Always start flashing the system firmware file (starting by lr_cmos...), then the web ui file.
system 11.14.2.17 + Web UI 2.4.8.14
-> make sure to use the latest ip camera tool from the same download page.
--> mirror (July 2010 release)
Update of the update (July 2010) : new files same version, the WebUI now has a section for specifying the patrol rates.
Changes:
- Wifi Disconnections resolved
- Wrong timestamp in log resolved
- Log now reports motion detection events
- Videostream FPS can be adjusted
- Ability to Backup/Restore the settings
- PTZ errors are now solved
Bugs:
- UPnP doesn't work ("UPnP Failed: Errors in Chat with UPnP Device")
- the patrol speed is set to maximum, which can be re-set to normal by the following command:
http://[ipcam]/
Updated CGI documentation:

system 11.14.1.46 "bis" + Web UI 2.4.8.12 "bis"
Around March 2010, Foscam started to actually host the latest firmware in their "Download Center". Both update files are still showing the same version but they changed in size. I suspect that some minor bug fixes
have been included. Because of this inconsistent versioning, I won't mirror these files to avoid any accidental mix up.
Changes: It is unclear what improvement has been brought by this version. There's a FPS parameter that is not functional, and up and down movements (tilt) are affected by a bug in the WebUI, resulting in an error being displayed and the tilting movement to continue until stopped manually.
system 11.14.1.46 + Web UI 2.4.8.12
-> mirror
October 2009
- Contains minor updates and bug fixes on the server push mode side.
- A pan and tilt issue reported by some users has been resolved.
The WebUI file is still the same that came previously with 11.14.1.43, so it's only needed if you come from an older firmware.
Bugs:
- UPnP doesn't work ("UPnP Failed: Errors in Chat with UPnP Device")
- timestamp sometimes wrong in the camera log (1970-01-01)
- the camera cannot reconnect to the network if the connection is lost.
(I don't mention the DST "bug" anymore. Most Chinese cameras don't implement this because China stopped observing Daylight Saving Time since 1991 )
system 11.14.1.43 + Web UI 2.4.8.12:
-> mirror
August 2009
Several improvements including:
- disabling the activity led (see Basic Network Settings section)
- a camera activity log
Bugs:
- Clock synchronization does not account for DST
- UPnP doesn't work ("UPnP Failed: Errors in Chat with UPnP Device")
- some parameters can only be saved from the ActiveX interface.
- timestamp sometimes wrong in the camera log (1970-01-01)
- the camera cannot reconnect to the network if the connection is lost.
system 11.14.1.42 + Web UI 2.4.8.11:
-> mirror
June 2009
Enables the server push support (non-IE browsers compatibility) and allow applications such as VLC to intercept the video stream through the videostream.asf page.
Bugs:
- Clock synchronization does not account for DST
- UPnP doesn't work ("UPnP Failed: Errors in Chat with UPnP Device")
- the camera cannot reconnect to the network if the connection is lost.
(There is an equivalent update for fi8903w, fi8904w fi8909w-NA here)
system 11.14.1.34 + Web UI 2.4.8.9:
-> mirror
February 2009
The interface relies on an ActiveX control and therefore requires Internet Explorer.
Bugs:
- Clock synchronization does not account for Daylight Saving Time: returns local time-1 hour
- UPnP doesn't work ("UPnP Failed: Errors in Chat with UPnP Device")
- the camera cannot reconnect to the network if the connection is lost.

Is't right that wireless search doesn't work with the latest firmware?
@Rutger
The AP scan function was actually introduced with the latest firmware (11.14.1.43). It does work. Some reported that it returned the wrong MAC address, but it actually returns the wireless MAC address of the router which is usually the Ethernet MAC+1.
Beside, it is still possible to enter the router's parameters manually.
In general, that firmware is very much a work in progress, while it introduces some (not vital) new features, it also introduce some small but irritating bugs.
I'm having troubles with the wireless connection, but only after a random amount of time. sometimes 10 min., sometimes 12 hours...
Led is then blinking slowly, not able to connect with router any more.
Tried changing of the channels, didnt help...
any ideas?
Im using latest firmware... anyone tried downgrading for this problem?
same thing here. I ve tried all the old firmwares and they all do not help. Are you trying to connect to DI-624 router? I am using this one and have problem wirh wifi connection, same as you. I read somewhere, here or t DX forum, there is one person have wifi problem like us using the DI-624.
Hi Anthony,
i'm using a Philips Router, so the problem occurs with different types/marks...
Tonight, i will install another (bigger) antenna, i'll report if that would work better...
I had the same issue with the wireless connection using WPA. With WEP the connection is steady on (but less secure)...
i'm using the less secure wep already...
i'm using dhcp instead of fixed address now, and it seems to hold. for now... (would be very strange if this would 'fix' this very annoying issue.)
@Bubbah
Hi,
I have an an IP camera Foscam FI89 a week now. Everything works well localy or through Web, apart the sound quality that is very bad (I do not know if it is due to Wireless I am using, or something else...).
I am trying to record the output to Web. I am using the IE activeX interface and in the visitor page I press the button "record". Nothing happens. Sorry my ignorance, but can you please help a little bit. I mention that I have not setup up yet FTP...
regards,
Theodore
@Theodore
Did you check under "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents" ?
The user interface doesn't give any visual clue that you are recording, but you should see a file created under this location looking like camera_name+timestamp.avi
The recording path is defined in the "User Settings" section.
Cheers!
Something more about the wireless disconnect problem that some people have: it seems that the connection can be lost when using a microwave in the direct neigbourhood. (NOT always, but often)
anyway, changing channels, bigger antennas,... would probably make the disconnects happen less often, but the real problem is that the cam doesn't reconnect. OR that it does try to reconnect, but that something isn't initialised correctly, causing the reconnect to fail...
@Bubbah: something for 'your Foscam friends'? i think this problem can be solved by software... (reboot without 'cooling down' the cam solves it, and the cam CAN detect a broken connection-led blinking slow)
regards from Belgium:)
Same disconnection problem here. Whenever there is a problem with the connection (bad weather, router reboot) the camera does not reconnect automaticcaly. Might try using an electronic timer that cycles the power i.e. every 24 hours.
a timer would, mmm, suck right?:)
did an interesting test:
- wireless seems to crash faster if i do multiple connections to the cam, and on the LAN (not from the internet). That way, more data is processed by the wlan module from the ipcam.
When crashed (slow blinking led), a just connected a UTP cable, et voila, camera becomes alive again (wired of course).
When i disconnect the UTP, the wlan immediately tries to reconnect, and presto! it works!
So it is definately solvable with an firmware upgrade... (reconnect going wrong... initiation or something going wrong...)
regards,
i wrote a mail to foscam concerning this issue.
Hopefully, i get some respons.
I'll post later on...
Opticam Outdoor FI8903W as sold by finnish store verkkokauppa.com (http://www.verkkokauppa.com/popups/prodinfo.php?id=36644) works with the firmwares you have on this page. It's actually made by Shenzen.
Good news: got answer from Foscam Support!
"

Massimo. Is italian? Please write me
Hi guys! I have same FOSCAM IPcam and when I put new firmaware the cam blocked!! Some solution??
Thanks!
@Alberto,
are you sure it was a Foscam ? Check here for some information to help you find out. If the interface looked any different, then it was likely not a compatible ipcam. Otherwise, it should be covered by the warranty.
Hi Bubbah!! Many Thanks! Yes, it´s a FOSCAM but I can not find how recovery the cam! The led it´s on forever! and the cam not work.
Thansk again.
Hi Bubbah,
please add to the wishlist: They should sign their activeX with a valid certificate.
I have trouble on each and every computer to install the activeX.
Thanks!
I bought a camera on ebay from world-brand. Seller told me it was a foscam. It worked great for 2 days, and had the foscam web ui. Then I flashed the new firmware and it no longer works. Green light stays lit and doesn't even try to connect to router even with lan cable. Hopefully ebay guy will exchange for me. So fyi just because it has similar web ui does not make it a foscam.
@Eric
another one to be aware of "goodlucksell", his reply was in approx. English but he certainly meant "not compatible"
"Dear friend,
Thanks for your mail.I'm sorry that the item compatible with Foscam's firmware.
Best regards1
- goodlucksell"
Thank you for the new firmware.
went to go to down load your pdf's but, the page said you've reached your limit. Where else is this documentions?

.46 firmware bricked my clone, no movement at startup... .43 was awesome and I should have left it alone...I just can't help myself sometimes
The recorder function is gone withe the new firmware 43???
The FI8903W works very good with WLAN. But on distances exceeding 4 meters, the connection breaks (a ping to the ip-adresses resolves no answer anymore). The WLAN-Router can't be the reason because other WLAN-Devices (in a distance from about 8-12 meters, I use a Netgear WGR614 WLAN-Router) work properly. Does anyone have a tipp for me to solve this problem? Or is the WLAN-antenna of the ip-cam a very poor one? I've upgraded the firmware with the version I got from my distributor (fireware lr_cmos_11_15_1_43.bin), but the problem still is the same.
@Roro: hello.
Yes, the antenna/wifi trasmission is quite poor.
I can use this ipcam from a distanca of 15 m because i put a 5dB antenna on the router and a 9dB antenna on the ipcam. Please consider that the provided antenna/ipcam connector is not common.
To use a standard antenna you'll need a RP SMA Female to SMA Male Adaptor

Regards.
Thank you for sharing this new firmware.
I can now connect to the camera from my mac:)
The update went right, all settings were retained.
My camera has the following type: ES-IP607W ARM_V1.0 090318.
(Chinavasion)
- The camera has the following firmware information:
Device ID 000C5D7508CB
Device Firmware Version 12.23.2.5
Device Embeded Web UI Version 2.2.0.4
I have updated my camera with:
- system 11.14.1.46 + Web UI 2.4.8.12 from this website:
http://www.drivehq.com/file/df.aspx/publish/bubbah/PublicFolder/FI8908W-fw11.14.1.46.zip (Foscam)
Since I updated my camera, I can see with the “IP camera tool” that the device firmwire is loaded to the system 11.14.1.46 and the Web UI shows 0.0.0.0.the camera from the network (ping).
The camera is restarting everything 15 seconds.
I have 2 seconds to connect with
Have anyone the good firmware?
Can i use this update whit uart?
Greets Rob,
I used 11.14.1.46 firmware, and 2.4.8.12 UI Version. Do you think there will be new versions ? With more option for this cool webcam. I would like to have more options with FTP service, filename for example could be the same instead of changing each capture ...
@Pierre,
I know that another user has contacted Foscam about this and they said they would look at it. I believe there is at least one more fw coming but I don't know when. Things go slower this month in China because of their Spring Festival (Chinese New Year)
Is there a way to use this camera feed to an iphone. Unfortunately the ActiveX does not work on Safari browser on iphone, any work around for this?
Prashanth: there is an app in the app store: search for foscam IP control, nice app...

Hey, I resolved my reconnect problem after lost connection. This problem completely about your wireless router. I'm using Linksys WRT54GCv3, I upgraded my router firmware and now, my camera automaticly reconnecting when I plug in my router adapter. My camera firmware version: system 11.14.1.43 + Web UI 2.4.8.12
If you get lost connection, use firmware 11.14.1.43 is work. FW 11.14.1.46 is keeping disconnect randomly. Also, you need set your router to be G only no mix b,g,n. It is work only on G. I have DIR-655 router but i have to run a belkin link with it same time. I am sure this Cam loves Belkin draft N than DIR-655. If you have two spare routers, you can hook it up together see which one the Cam love.
Hope will help someone out.
Need help connecting Iphone to a Foscam working through a WRT160NLinksys Router. I have a good connection on LAN, but nothing shows on wireless connections for Iphone using the Livecams-iphone program.
Rob you have find the soluce for your probleme
Please help : my cam :
Since I updated my camera, I can see with the “IP camera tool” that the device firmwire is loaded to the system 11.14.1.46 and the Web UI shows 0.0.0.0.the camera from the network (ping)
help for webui ? thk
@Roy - you need this little app for iPhone:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/foscam-ip-control/id348726919?mt=8
Not a load of features, but it has panning and rotating camera controls, plus it's made specifically for this IP camera. It works like a charm.
The part with Linksys router configuration - I can not help you since I'm not Linksys router user. I use the latest Airport Extreme Simultaneous Dual Band router and setting it up was super easy. You just need to forward whatever port you're using for your IP camera, to your camera's static IP (you need to do that too inside your DHCP client list). Once port is forwarded, everything is a piece of cake.
Hi.
I've 11.14.1.46 firmware and 2.4.8.12 UI. Don't know about you, but i've the problem that the network LED still remain on also if i uncheck the flag in "Basic network settings".
I solved it using the CGI SDK documents, where i've read about "set_misc.cgi" command to send config parameters to webcam.
Using http://ipcam_url/set_misc.cgi?led_mode=2 i can switch off the network LED, and also (in this way) the flag in "basic net settins" results unchecked.
As many other i have problem with FTP settings: there is no way to solve "username/password wrong" problem? Obviously, i use valid ftp account... in DOS mode i'm able to connect my FTP server without problem
Bye
DIEGO
@Timpoldo
A few settings are not saved when using the "push server" interface (ActiveX works fine). The upnp check box is also affected.
I never had issues with the ftp login, but I use a very simple user and password. I didn't try, but it's possible that the camera doesn't deal well with accents or special symbols in the login if you use any?
@Bubbah
I'm sorry to contraddict you, but all parameters changed using CGI have been saved. I've unplugged AC adaptor 2 times tomorrow, and network led still is OFF (changed using set_misc.cgi).
Don't know about ActiveX mode, as i never have been able to use it (my XP ever rejected the ocx plugin): i use Firefox, and sometimes Chrome. Works fine both.
About FTP issue, it's not a special symbols problem.
But i've solved also that problem, simply using another FTP server. Nothing special done: i've just used another account on a differente server, and magically it worked!
I think FTP client in Ipcam is not fully compatible with FTP protocol: i can't explain otherwise.
The FTP servers where Ipcam can't access use "NcFTPd" server and "BFTPd" daemon, both under Linux. The one that works use Pure-FTPd. Don't know if that can make the difference....
Regards
Important note: in the Web UI 2.4.8.12 bis firmware, in the Firefox (PUSH) interface the tilt function is broken.
"It reports two javascript errors (in both Firefox and Chrome): "support on mousedown event" and "support decoder_control function". The camera then moves up anyway, but has to be stopped with an extra click on the stop button."
YES i confirm what MAURICE says:
in the 2.4.8.12BIS firmware, there is a control fault on the down order (check on FIREFOX)... error message generated if up order
"support on mousedown event"
bye
Can someone please give me a step by step guide on how to add extra Foscam cameras. I have one running and on the Interent via wireless. I can't figure out how to add more ??
Thanks
Eric
@Eric
Check the last topic from the post "Faq for ip cameras". You can't expect the local ip's specified in the multi-device section to be accessible from the Internet, what you need is to define a port forwarding for each camera, and enter the "external" url (ddns) instead of the local url.
Salut Bubbah ;o)
y a un truc qui me chiffonne concernant le dernier firmware
[system 11.14.1.46 + Web UI 2.4.8.12 "bis"]
que tu mets à disposition ici.
Si je compare celui que tu proposes en téléchargement en haut de page
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B9kFXSWngqLWMTRiMDgzZjAtNjI5NS00Zjc5LTk3ZDctNTVjMDdmZWFiNDBm&hl=en
avec celui que FOSCAM propse en téléchargement
http://www.foscam.com/down/FI8908%20FI8908W/FI8908%20FI8908W%20sw%20upgrade%20package.rar
=> il y a des différences. ??!!
Pour les deux WebUI.bin => OK les deux fichiers sont identiques.
Mais par contre, les deux fichiers binaires "lr_cmos_11_14_1_46.bin"
eux sont différents ???
Une explication ?
Merci encore pour tout ce que tu fais.
@Paillassou
J'avais téléchargé ce firmware du download center de Foscam en février dernier.
Le contenu a changé depuis, mon lr_cmos_11_14_1_46.bin est daté 11/09/2009, l'actuel est daté 15/03/2010. Et toujours pas de changement de version, pas très sérieux ça!
Je crois que je vais me contenter de copier le lien de leur download center pour les fw >= 11.14.1.46, ça réduira la confusion.
P.S.: je me demande si, du coup, le réglage des FPS fonctionne, je vais essayer ça asap.

Un gros MERCI pour la réponse ;)

Bye BUBBAH ;)
Please help. My camera work only over the lan cable. If connect camera with wifi, ping is working, but in internet explorer nothing happend. I have instaled the latest firmware but it doesn't help.
@zoudlik
try with the camera just beside your wireless router. If it works better, then it could be that the antenna connection inside the camera is loose. Quite easy to fix usually.
Hi Mate,
I've got an original FosCam (didn't brick it /w upgrade to FI8908W-fw11.14.1.43 in 2009/11).
But after upgrading (over LAN) to FI8908w-fw11.14.2.17 (only firmware, webui not yet upgraded) the device is not available at its programmed IP anymore. It gets an IP via DHCP. But at that IP no web page is available. It just says
404 Not Found
File not found.
Have you got any hint how to access the camera again? how to upgrade the webui?
Thank you!
@rsc
I thought it was just me, but it appears that this firmware upgrade wipes the existing config. I had to retrieve the camera using the IP Camera tool, which started by telling me that the subnet was invalid. Once I changed the network settings through the tool, the camera was back into the lan.
thanks mate, it worked though the IP Camera tool first wanted/needed to install WebUI.
BTW have you noticed the possibility to save/restore config now? Next upgrade migt be a bit smoother.
Regards, Ralph
@zoudlik
try to issue this command at DOS command line (black window):
arp -d [IP of your cam] - for instance arp -d 192.168.5.7
As long as the arp cache is alive the IP of the cam is assigned to the mac address of the lan interface and not the mac of the WLAN...
HTH, Ralph
I update the system firmware to 11_14_2_17, but is impossible to upgrade the Web UI. No version are installed now.
Waga
Trying upgrade the Web UI, this message display using IP Camera Tool:
Error file of web UI!
Pls HELP.
Waga
@waga
try with this newer version ip camera tool 7.5.32.
Some had this problem too with the one distgributed initially by Foscam.
@Bubbah
Tks a lot! It´s working nice with the update!!!
Hi, I was moving the camera via internet then suddenly the image freeze, and after that the camera cannot start, every 10 seconds , the camera try to start (the green led turn on) no movement and died, than start new cycle like that. Pls help
@waga
are you sure you have a Foscam ?
@Bubbah,
Hello.
I don't know, I bought at site dealextrem.
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.26358
Tks
@waga
ok so it's not a Foscam really, but still, this copy is illegaly using the Foscam firmware so it should be working fine anyway. Maybe you should try to re-flash the whole thing through the IP camera tool?
Don't flash through Wi-fi, do it only through the Ethernet port.
@Bubbah
Tks for your fast answer. I connected direct to the Ethernet port, but the cam doesn't start, then the IP camera tool doens't reconize the cam at the Lan. I think the software crashed and now it isn't possible reset itself. Are there any way to rebbot (reflash) direct?
@waga
maybe try the reset button on the bottom of the camera, keeping it pressed for a good few seconds. If nothing works, then
check the post titled "Bring your FI8908W paperweight back to life"
It's just strange that apparently your cam has been working after the update and then failed some time after. Usually the troubles show directly after the flashing if it went bad.
Configuring Camera to Send Email:
Does anyone know how to configure Email for a yahoo account? I am using firmware version: 11.14.1.34 and it does give an option to disable security settings or input a port....
@Chris
You'll find the information in the post "FAQ for Ip Cameras".
I think Yahoo doesn't provide SMTP and POP3 services unless you pay.
You'd need to use a free public SMTP server, or try the one from your ISP. Once you've got a working SMTP configured, you can still state any email address in the "Receiver" and "Sender" fields
@Bubbah
The cam came back to work normally after 24hs. It´s very strange.
Tks for yor attencion!
I've figured out why I'm getting connection problems. It turns out the webcam stops responding to arp requests. Adding a static arp entry to your PC will immediately fix the issue.
See my blog for more details:
http://blog.stead.id.au/2010/06/resolving-foscam-connection-dropouts.html
My camera stopped working after 24 hours and 24 hours after another starts up again. It's a cycle. Anybody knows what can I do?
system 11.14.2.17 + Web UI 2.4.8.14
I have the Uart converter.
When i connect it whit the pc i see something like :
^dds%32jsd2!532 ......
How can i go to the bootloader?
Please can you help me?
Thanks Rob,
@Rob
that what I got when my connection was loose, check the post "Bring your FI8908W paperweight back to life".
Need help,
Got camera working thru lan line but, when I try to connect wireless, the Ip address shown on dlink di-655 is 0.0.0.0 and ip tools will not show the camera. Camera connection light is blinking fast, have router set to b/g, using wpa.
@John
some ideas:
- latest firmware for DIR-655 ?
- Loose wi-fi antenna connection inside the box? Does the camera work better when sitting literally on the router?
@John
forgot something: check that the router broadcasting is ON. The camera cannot connect otherwise due to some bug.
Hi! i have buy one of the foscam clone from Chinavasion, is not with foscam chip, is ARM type the chip. After 15minutes of use the camera burns!!! smokes out of the back and then the green led doesn’t blinking any more. I send her back to the Chinavasion, they have repaired her and then after one and half month and post cost 22 eyrw, i have her back. One day work and the other again the same!!! the camera is dead, only IR working and the leds from ethernet, no green led, and pc can't see her! no what i can do? i open the camera today and i cant find something burn out. I don’t know what happens again! the camera is this here :
http://www.chinavasion.com/product_info.php/pName/ip-surveillance-camera-with-angle-control-and-motion-detection/
@nikiforosgt
as it seems that you will have to return it again, you may suggest them to replace the power adapter as well. Maybe it's faulty and delivers too much power.
Hi,
it looks that there is new version
http://www.foscam.com/down/FI8908%20FI8908W/FI8908%20FI8908W%20sw%20upgrade%20package.rar
yes, I'm testing it before updating the page. It's already their 3rd update under the v.11.14.2.17 & 2.4.8.14. Foscam seems very casual when it comes to implement a consistent versioning.
Main change is the new PTZ settings section apparently
Hola alguien podia explicarme paso a paso como configurar el correo para ke me mande las imagenes, no he podido dar con eso aun usando la cuenta ISP, y el gmail ..... gracias
@olmedo
lea el punto 3 de este artículo. Estás probablemente tratando de configurar un cifrada SMTP, como Gmail, y eso no es admitido por la cámara.
Hola all !
I've a wzr-hp-g300nh Buffalo router, wired everything is ok, but wireless i can't have a stable connection. It connects and then suddently disconnect and it let me just few seconds to get access at the camera but nothing more.
staying more close to the router i had better results but i still had problems connecting for the first time (i had to restart the camera more than once...)
Another experiment was to power on the camera staying more close to the router room and then i was able to move the camera faw away with a continuosly stable connection. hmm
The firmware version that im using is the last one i think (v.11.14.2.17 & 2.4.8.14)
Any other with the same problem? or the same router?
Thanks!
Foscam has published 3 different firmwares all labelled as 11.14.2.17 so make sure to download the current one from their website and their latest ip cam tool. It also happens that the antenna wiring inside is loose, but then it would only work when sitting on the router.
Thanks for the reply, Bubbah
about the antenna, i've already checked the antenna connection and its ok, its connected at the "main" connector of the internal wifi board. There is also an "aux" connector but i dont know if its possible to connect a second antenna.. hmm
However how can i know that the firmware is the last one if there are 3 different models all labelled 11.14.2.17?
From where i can download it?
http://www.foscam.com/dow.asp?anid=6
here they deleted the download with this explaination:
"Dear customer:
there may be lose of data when you download the file because of the network, and if there is data lose of system fimware, it will cause a serious consequence.
so we decide not to offer the system firmware download, thank you."
also on foscam.us they dont let you download the firmware.
EDIT: with no encryption it works perfectly! :D
so now i dont know if its a camera problem or my router...
I've tried WPA2/WPA/WEP AES and TKIP and everyones has the same issue. Seems to connect and then it disconnect after some time (20sec, max 1min)
@AjK
on the top of this page you'll find the string "--> mirror (July 2010 release)": this is the one I downloaded from them last week (and I just tried and still can download from http://www.foscam.com/dow.asp?anid=6 right now !)
If this is related to encryption, I'd check if Bufalo has any update for your router. I don't think it's the camera, it's been reported to work in wep adn wpa with many routers to date.
One more thing: this model is a Wireless-n right ? could you test by forcing it down to 802.11b/g only?
eheh, so check the rar archive that you've just downloaded ! ;P
you will find only the webGUI and nothing more.
By the way im downloading the last firmware from the mirror at the top of this page.
about the buffalo im waiting the release of the new dd-wrt buffalo branded firmware.
Its a wireless-n but it manage itself to connect only with b/g or n if its possible.
hmm tomorrow i will try with another router, same positions, and different encryptions!
now im gonna sleep ;P eheh
thanks for the replies!
