Furry is right no one is against upgrading. It is just that if you upgrade we don't want you to start complaining that it has more issues than your last firmware. We have already seen people who have upgraded to 1.22 complain. We still don't know how 1.23 will act so if you don't want to be one of the people affected don't upgrade and just play with the settings.

+1 Furry and LIME (hehehe)

Updating your firmware only updates the feature set that was included in that firmware release. Theres nothing magical about them. And alot of times they seem to magically fix problems because in the process of updating, your resetting your settings, which also resets your security. So it gives a illusion that it fixes the problem, but really it was just the default setting restore that fixes it. And since its harder to go forward, then backward, its something you should do with caution.

Actually... I had quite a bit of wireless errors and dropped packets while using 1.21NA. I flashed it to 1.22NA and the wireless errors went way down and the dropped packets were minimal. Around .2% of the total amt of packets transferred.

However my internet was still getting dropped for some odd reason so I updated to 1.23NA. I have yet to see a drop so far... hopefully it can keep it up.

Let us know JL how it goes...

I might give 1.23NA a try. Is there anyway to rollback to 1.22NA if it is worse?

  Yes there is indeed a way to roll back. Though I can't promote downgrading since its against the forum rules, But hey have you ever heard of your best friend google?

You know Google too? I heard he is one baaaaad mutha...

Hehe. Too bad about Wave though. I was in its beta and sandbox.

Well so far it hasn't dropped my wireless internet or wired. It's been around 1.5 days.

I did notice a problem when online gaming (WOW/SC2) tho... the ping starts jittering. When it happens, I ping say www.google.com -t and let the ping run for a bit. It seems like every 4th ping gets a spike. This problem only sometimes happens tho, but I close the game and run the ping again and it goes back to normal again. I also tried doing the same thing on my wired desktop and 0 jitter so it is a wireless problem.
