Hello, Yes I have firstly on the previous release, they said they would inform the developers, and I have sent a second email to reference to it, however as of yet no reply.
I have noticed that their support be sales or after, does not seem to work as well as it used to, i.e. send email get nothing back.. odd, one thinks they would need to keep their end up, as business is tight, so supporting existing customers, who constantly purchase would be a good idea, but then I not a marketing bod.

I have noticed that WAN2 TX bytes are increasing despite it being disabled. kbates has also noticed it.

It's working ok for me. Initially I seemed to be having a very sluggish response on the web admin page, but this turned out to to an issue with Wireless N and my laptop. I don't know which end of the link was the problem, but when I switched the router to 802.11g mode it improved dramatically.

okay-I'm annoyed now.
Routers' been locking up on me again.
I cannot agree that 3.3.3 should be a valid release and therefore must say
Do not use Release 3.3.3 unless your router is new and shipped with 3.3.2.2,
(in which case you will need it as 3.3.2.2 itself is not stable on this apparently newer hardware)
On my newer 2820n Routers (shipped with 3.3.2.2 apparently due to updated internal hardware) it seems stable so far (3 router sample for 3 days).
On existing routers (previously stable) I am getting hardware lockups requiring reboot at <24h intervals.
Utterly unacceptable Draytek, this is a router ffs, a critical network device - supposedly.

For those of you with lockup issues can you let me know if the wifi is setup for b/g/n please ?
My 2820n had all three enabled and I was having all kinds of problems connecting to the admin page which degraded until I could not use it at all. The solution for me was to force the router to use only 802.11g
