Don't bother to upgrade your firmware, unless there's some massive problem that the new firmware will address. That's generally my rule, at least. I'll do upgrades for security purposes on our servers, but wireless gear rarely gets upgraded unless there's a really compelling reason for it (vital bug-fix, new features I think we'll actually use, etc.) Until the really nasty storm we had a couple weeks back, nasty enough to drain every UPS, and it wasn't quite safe enough to get the generator in place, I had a switch in my office with a 500+ days uptime, and a Trango SU with a similar uptime (the last time I remember looking it was at 463 days). Also, in theory, you could maintain that uptime by moving the UPS and network cable along with the radio. It'd make restringing the Ethernet all different kinds of Hell, but it might be worth it. ;) David Smith MVN.net -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
