  • We're running on a patched MR7 for authentication issues. It would be good to hear if anyone can confirm that auth issues have truly been resolved.  This plus the "drop packet learning mode" caused havoc and this was a new purchase, so we just thought that this is the way it ran.  Four different support people and not one mentioned the "drop packet learning mode" that is set to 2 minutes by default.  It was the third who finally found that we were using STAS and I found the learning mode document when reading about STAS.  Our support person said that he didn't even know that the FW functioned this way.  I'll install the MR8 at home, but I'm holding off on our production unit.
