WRV200 Firmware v1.0.29 Release Note

2/14/2007

Enhancements:

1. Enhanced the security of QuickVPN by supporting self-generated certificate on the router. Several functions (buttons) were added to the Certificate Management section on the VPN Client Access page. Administrator can generate new certificate, export certificate for admin backup, export certificate for QuickVPN clients, and import certificate for admin. The router's certificate needs to be delivered to all QuickVPN users and placed in the install directory of QuickVPN Client, e.g. C:\Program Files\Linksys\Linksys VPN Client\. This way the QuickVPN client will only trust these certificates placed in its local directory and will not be deceived by a hacker in the middle to connect to a hostile computer. With QuickVPN Client v1.1.0, when the client encounters a certificate that is not trusted, the client will pop up an warning message, suggesting the user quit the connection attempt. The export and import functions can be used when the admin wants to reset the router to factory default, but does not want to re-distribute the certificate to all of the QuickVPN users.

2. Added the support for SNMP MIB-II.
3. Added an optional Service Name field in the PPPoE WAN configuration.
4. Merged the Advanced Key Management pop-up into the IPSec VPN page.

Issues Fixed:

1. Fixed a wireless dropout issue that requires users to reboot the router in order to regain wireless connectivity.
2. Removed the checkbox for enabling "SNMP Through IPSec Tunnel" and made the feature always enabled.
3. Fixed the issue that the Web UI will crash after 30~40 minutes, if Syslog is enabled and the WAN connection is up.
4. Fixed the issue with showing incorrect Current Time in the Status->Router page. 
5. Fixed an issue that SIP ALG cannot handle SIP invite packet with Source port 5060 and Destination port 5060.
6. Fixed an issue that System Uptime will display incorrectly after the the system is up for 24 hours.
7. Corrected the Note in the Wireless->WDS page as the following. The WDS feature allows WRV200 to connect with up to 3 wireless repeaters that can be either WAP54GP or WAP54GPE. 
8. Fixed an issue with saving a static route in the Advanced Routing page.

Known Issues:

1. IPSec tunnels do not pass NetBIOS broadcast packets. This may create a problem when users want to search computers by names or to browse the network neighborhood on Windows Explorer. Users can use a LMHOSTS file to work around this issue. More information can be found at

2. L2TP WAN Connection Type does not work properly. If your internet connection uses L2TP, please use firmware v1.0.24 instead.
3. Syslog may stop working under heavy logging workload. 
4. When router's LAN IP is changed, port forwarding will stop working. A workaround is to disable and then enable the port forwarding rule or reboot the router.
