What’s new in 5.02 firmware release

Web Interface

• Added ability to choose center frequency of half/quarter channels
• Fixed connecting via site survey does not update security settings
• Fixed WPA/WPA2 security issues with multiple interfaces
• Show correct data rates in drop down when using half/quarter channels

Core Firmware

• G-only (pureg) mode now works with quarter rates.
• Other wireless driver fixes: allowed TX power was too low in some countries, data rate selection module fixes: communication is now possible over links with lower link quality
