RV082 Firmware v1.3.2 Release Note

There are two firmware systems used by RV082. One is firmware v1.3.x which uses the newer Intel CSR1.2.2. The other is firmware v1.1.x which uses the original Intel CSR1.1. The look and feeling are quite similar, however, the v1.3.x firmware provides more features and better performance than v1.1.x. For example, the NAT firewall throughput has reached 200Mbps (bi-directional wire speed) and the IPSec throughput (3DES) has a maximum over 90Mbps. You can upgrade or downgrade the firmware on your RV082 device whenever you want. But like before, downgrading firmware will restore the configuration settings to factory default.

New Features:

1. Support VPN (IPSec tunnel) Backup functionality.
Mechanism: When the dead-peer-detection (DPD) mechanism detects that the primary VPN is no longer available, the VPN backup mechanism will be activated and try to establish a VPN connection via a user-defined WAN interface. The configuration is in the advnaced setting of Gateway-to-Gateway VPN. See the online help for more information.
2. Support Split DNS functionality. 
Split DNS in IPSec is used to provide DNS service over a VPN tunnel where DNS server is located in the remote security subnet.
3. Support AES encryption for IPSec
4. Support DHCP-relay
5. Support DNS Local Database
6. Support more PPPoE Keep-alive settings including retry times and redial period.
7. Allow DDNS Host Name to have only 2 fields such as abc.net
8. Support PPPoE Service Name option.
Service Name is provided by your ISP. If the Service Name is not required by your ISP, please leave this field blank.
9. Protocol-binding supports Destination IP Range Class A/B/C.
10. Support Static IP/MAC address binding for DHCP server.
11. Support the option-61 ?client-id? in DHCP Client for some customers in Korea.
12. Allow the Protocol Binding to bind ICMP when "Bind All Traffic" is selected. Remark: The Protocol Binding can bind UDP/TCP without problems. But in earlier firmware, it cannot bind the ICMP packets when "Load Balance" is enabled. This firmware solves the problem and binds the ICMP packets to the user-specified WAN interface.
13. Implement new PeanutHull specification. In this new spec., the PeanutHull service provider provides new domain name HPH024.ORAY.NET for Linksys use only. The previous domain name ph001.oray.net won't be used in RV082 product.
14. Allow administrators to have IPSec Remote Group Network covering the RV082's LAN IP. Remark: In earlier firmware if LAN IP is 192.168.1.1 and IPSec Remote Group Network is 192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0, the RV042's Web UI will not be accessible once the "Save Settings" button on the VPN setting page is clicked.

Fixes:

1. Increased the aging time of QQ from the original 1 minute to 8 minutes. The purpose is to solve the QQ problem in China where incoming messages might be dropped occasionally. 
2. Fixed the PPPoE reboot issue that may occur when configuring PPPoE for the first time.
3. Fixed the issue with booking a flight on www.usairways.com.
