Hi
How are you getting on with the new firmware? Any problems?
Tech Support have told me they can't send me that release because it's only an alpha version, which still has bugs and can crash routers. They told me to call back again in a few weeks. I'm curious to know if you've had any issues with it, or does it all seem OK?
The wzr2-g300n_1.55_1.02_eu firmware that Buffalo sent me has been working fine on my EU version of the WZR2-G300N. I have been able to access servers on the LAN from all my wireless devices (a laptop, Asus Transformer Android tablet, an Android phone), which wasn't possible before. If I encounter any problems in the future, I'll report here.
I don't know if the EU firmware would work for the US model. Probably not. It might very well brick the device. According to a post on this forum thread flashing the US model with EU firmware or other way around would void your warranty: http://buffalo.lithium.com/t5/Wireless/WZR2-G300N-new-firmware-1-52-1-22-EU-VPN-doesn-t-work-anymore/td-p/2114. If you're wiling to take the risk, PM me your e-mail address.
A pity that it's taking Buffalo so long to make the same fix to the US model. As rivashin said, contact support and mention the case number #201171731, and complain that the EU customers have already had the fix for weeks :-)
