Revisions:

When one of the WAN ports is in the NORMAL state and the other one is in BACKUP, Bridge mode could only be set to strict binding. It is now possible to set the Bridge Mode to Loose Binding as well as Load Balancing. (LOW)

Bug Fixes:

1. Transparent Bridge mode learns the MAC address of a machine and reacts (answers to the ARP request) incorrectly. (CRITICAL)
2. Certain types and lengths of data would cause a system reboot when it’s coming out of a host system. (CRITICAL)
3. In some cases the router will create an incorrect internal route. This happens when a dynamic link is disconnected and then reconnected. (MEDIUM)
4. If a machine, which also happens to be the Gateway of the WAN1 and WAN2 connection and tries to access a Virtual Server behind the router through the WAN2 IP, the router would always send the packets back through WAN1 even if the Virtual Server is bound to both WAN ports. (MEDIUM)
5. Previously PPPoE disconnect was not actually performed. When the now user presses the "Connect" button on "Advanced PPPoE", the page will successfully connect. (MEDIUM)
6. When the device is used as a DNS proxy for LAN clients the selection method of DNS servers is now Round-Robin. (LOW)
7. An empty page of DHCP clients could be displayed while an active DHCP client list could be reduced. (LOW)
8. Multi-DMZ bug as follows is fixed. One host IP in LAN can only be mapped to one public IP address for WAN, but not multiple IP addresses. (LOW)

Known Issues :

Dynamic DNS client will not be able to update its DNS records with a range of ports in the Custom Virtual Server setting. EXAMPE: LAN port: 1024~1060 WAN port 1024~1060. (LOW)

 

Fixes & Additions:

1. Fixed memory leak caused by ICMP dead peer detection.

2. Fixed packet queue leak when one WAN port is disabled.

3. Fix NAT Alias bug (Alias IP was not recognized by device).

4. Defaut health checking method for PPPoE is changed from Traffic I/O to none.

5. Block URL is improved.

6. DNS Loopback works without DNS server being enabled.

7. SNMP system time reset period is extended from about 12 days to about 248 days.

Health Check enhancement:
1. Newly added Traffic I/O method and interval.
2. HTTP health check cause memory leak.

Port and Protocol binding fixes:
Entry with "ALL protocol" selected is not working 100%.

Entry editting problem:
1. Error occurried after QOS and DNS last entry's deletion.
2. VPN policy update from subnet to IP range log failure shown
