Does anybody from Microsoft read these? Maybe they can
answer these.
I read that there will be a new software release when SP2
hits RTM. Can we expect any more firmware upgrades for the
MN-500 series?
I would love to see some new features for the MN-
500/510/520. At the very least I think that you should
consider a 256-bit WEP, (maybe even WPA). Some other
things, although less important than a stronger
encryption, could include some sort of authentication,
maybe a DDoS blocking firewall, or possibly a setting to
decrease the signal strength.
Also see the post I made right below this one for a bug
you can fix in the MN-510 drivers.
Also the greyed out Management Tool in the BNU is pretty
annoying.
I feel like your company should have put a little more
effort into your networking products before ditching your
user base. There are still some months left before the 2-
year support is up, and I think a couple new features
could help solidify Microsoft's future hardware products
in the minds of people who went out on a limb and
purchased this hardware.
-Concerned
PS. If anybody knows who I can email this to (maybe Bill
Gates or even somebody that works on the drivers and
support team) give me an address. (Because I am not sure
if MS reads these)
Also, I know that some of the MN-500 have boot code 1.06
on them. If anybody has this file that we could flash post
a message here.
