Danger, Will Robinson, Danger. For those of you who have the Rad-Win 2000 series and are looking forward to the firmware upgrade to take them to 100Mb Fdx. Be careful. The firmware came out and I (stupidly) applied it. IT went on without a hitch and rebooted the radios. They came up and started passing traffic. No improvement in speed (rats). Then one end locked up. I rebooted it and it started working. HMMM! That's concerning. 1hour later the other end locked up. Hmmm! Call Tech support. They had me do a hardware Inventory and found out that my Rad-wins are hardware version 3 the upgrade was for hardware version 4 and above. Nowhere did it state this and nowhere did the firmware updater check to make sure that I had new enough units. Why did the firmware go on in the first place if they weren't compatible? Now tech support is working on how to downgrade.
What I get for wanting more for free and not waiting for more testing. P.S. I love my Rad-Win units. They have worked 110% of the time and very consistent.
