Really loving this WS-8-250-DC

It's working great, just wanted to report :)

It replaced some Mikrotik gear, which was working okay, but not gigabit. I really like this unit, seems like it's just built for WISP use, which is a big difference...very happy so far :)

Thanks, you did upgrade the firmware though right? Should be running v1.4.7 or v1.4.8rc4
The new v1.4.8rc4 has a calibration feature to calibrate the input voltage reading.

I was running 1.4.8rc3, should I upgrade, or wait for stable release <next>?

Your call.

All rc4 does is give you the option to calibrate the input voltage to make it more accurate as some people complain it can be off "a little".

IDK the normal release interval, any indicators of when the next stable release might be?

We do not do firmware releases like everyone else.

I did the upgrade and it seems to work fine. I'll check back every once in awhile to see if there are more, but right now seems okay :)
