I was actually wondering the same thing myself. What exactly is this firmware doing?? If it is degrading the radio performance to mask the actual root problem, then please let us know.
It is one thing to have degraded airBridge at a client's home, it is another if my head-end aPPo is NOT operating at PEAK efficiency. Please assure us that this is NOT the case. Thanks!!

"MAGIC" is BS when the customer quits telling me they are always down. I don't believe for an instant that "firmware" is fixing an overheating issue. I was trained as an Electronics Tech and have 12 plus years of fixing electronics to the board level as experience. Adding some code is not going to change a flaky component. Basically is the firmware degrading the radio operation to the point the component does not overheat? Fortunately, I only have a few SB products left in the system plus the ones in the junk box.
