Reviews Outdated? Are a lot of folks experiencing problems AFTER installing this firmware?

The updated are only for V2 of this piece of garbage. NO information from Cisco about all of the earlier models, which they appear to have dropped support for soon after selling them. The last firmware for the earlier versions is from 2009, and there is nothing on there site about any trouble with them... search the model, and you find the vast majority of users looking for some firmware fix. None available from Cisco, and none of the open source alternatives support this model. There are a few comments about going back to OLDER firmware, but Cisco does not have it available, and after much searching I have found only broken links. This thing has sucked up way too much time ion troubleshooting for what it cost.

I did update the firmware after I got it to support RTSP. I will say that RTSP performance is less than stellar, however.

Bummer you're having these problems. Other than connecting to Internet for radio and firmware updates, I haven't tried anything else over the Internet. Never had any problems with the receiver. Always powers up too. Unfortunate that their support channel is helpful.

You can upgrade the -firmware- version according to tplinks website. The user guide says "the firmware version much match the hardware version" or something. I don't really know what this means, they don't have good translations sometimes (tp-link).

So far I've had no trouble and bought it after the firmware was to have been installed. I'm not familiar what the firmware improved but it works fine.

hi, were you able to update it? did you need that in a way to use it? (im asking as Im trying to define if I should or not get this unit...) thanks!

Since my review quite some time ago, the unit has been improved. Even our unit, which has subsequently been supplanted by newer models, has had firmware updates which have solved most of the problems I originally found. I still find the interface completely non-intuitive. But if you study the manual, it all works.

I have not experienced those issues. I recommend checking to see if there are any firmware updates for your unit. You have to connect your unit to a internet connected computer to perform the online check and updates.

I haven't had any issues with mine at all. Have you tried updating the firmware?

Most likely you may have to update it to the latest firmware or do a reset to its original state. If this does not work, contact the vendor or manufacturer for support or exchange if the unit is defective.

I have firmware 2.2. They are up to 2.22. I would say that if your unit has 2.04 or higher, then I probably would not chance it. Not everyone has been bricked. But some have. There does not appear to much of a difference from 2.04 to 2.22.

The latest firmware is still 1.03, I believe. The one I got from Amazon back in June was the latest version 1.03.

I updated the firmware but the problem persists. I am planning to return it.
