Has Uniden fixed the WiFi dongle or Add the siren app yet? It has been a year since this thing came to market and still no updates

I was just about to press the "add to cart" button when I read the answers to this. It is ALREADY Feb and I have heard NOTHING about an app yet. One sale lost.

I purchased the BCD536HP scanner and the BC-GPSK antenna. From my view point this is nothing but a big fat lie from Dan M.This App was a MAJOR selling point of this unit; the scanner even comes with the Wi-Fi dongle; the package even shows the Wi-Fi dongle on it!It's been over a year? REALLY?!? .....REALLY?!?!I would recommend no one buy ANYTHING from Uniden until they keep their promise on the MOST expensive scanner system they have ever sold. I know I'm over $600 into it and it still isn't complete.

I don't know if there is firmware update available. I am using it as a repeater so I can use the lan port for a desktop computer without wireless.

I really don't know. I have several questions myself for which I can't get answers as it is impossible to get through Unidens Customer Service. Sorry.

how new is your wireless? I had problems downloading apps due to an old wireless router.

No, I've been trying to figure it out for awhile now. Tried to download updates and settings. Nothing. Only wifi when wifi available. Hope u figure it out!

The company who sold this device should have included the drivers for said device. It will not allow me to update either. Amazon should contact the seller and have them make available at no charge the updating firmware.

Hmmm...I have the Air so I have (and did install) the R3 update to that. I don't know that I want to chance bricking the R1, so I'm back to trying a bridge. There's no USB port for the WLAN access point, so I don't know of any other way to bring the signal to the box.Thanks very much for your response.

There are no firmware updates that I am aware of. AND I would not expect to see one. These devices are priced to be a nearly disposable item. I would test thoroughly, quickly, and return it it it doesn't measure up.

I did end up getting this system for christmas and so far it works fine. I haven't been prompted to upgrade the firmware via the network, and based on other's experiences I'm a bit hesitant to update it unless it specifically fixes an issue, which I haven't found any yet.

I also have Uverse. If you go with the UniFi AP I recommend to continue using the the 2wire, configure the settings on the UniFi the same as the 2wire settings e.g. security method, password, etc. except make sure you turn off DHCP. I think some of the people who are having problems getting it configured to work properly are not doing this.

The wifi card is on the weak side. This is pretty much inherent tothe series. I've had mine for a year now, and it seems that after a few hours the signal is wobbly. I usually switch the wifi off for a few seconds then turn it back on; that seems to work a while but some days are better than others. I'm going to get one of those USB wifi dongles and see if that works.

I had same problem. Garbage.. I read that it needs updated. But you have to buy the hardware to update it or know someone who has it. I gave up.

FYI to current customers: The current version is V3, and is not supported so far by openWRT/Gargoyle, and probably not DD-WRT.

Ethernet only I am not sure if but someone said there was wifi hardware capabilities that could come with a update. Not sure if this is true but not Ethernet is the only way.
