The 4GR is the successor to the UMR. The UMR has been selling since May of 2008. We will maintain minor firmware development on the UMR throughout the summer (new modems and fixes for the most part) and phase out before launching a milestone release.

Some of the new coming features will not be capable of running on the UMR due to processing limitations. This is where the 4GR steps in.

Thanks

the short number issue - i remembered having read about it, but it was not
here in the forum, but on one of the DOVADO help pages:

-->> In the recipient field, place a "+" before the number, such as +71456

easy when you know it, so hope it helps somebody some day.

Thanks

yes, but when you are 'out in the field' you very often dont have the time or possibility
to look at every nook and corner.

suggestion: add on your error mssg in the firmware '' ... Number must be in international
format, e.g. +4612345679 ... '' a '' - short numbers as +XXXX '', and you would help
many people stuck with that issue.

Heinz,

Next coming major release will have a "short number" tick box, and you won't have to put in a "+" sign ahead of the number. :-)

I have a Dovado UMR router and I was wondering whether you can see what devices are or have been connected to the router. I have a feeling someone has hacked into my router and is using my internet. Is there a way I can find out this for sure?
Also how can I set up the most secure key so noone can hack it. I think I have set up a WEP key which i think is the least secure key of them all.

Is there any way to get the router to reset if self on a routine?

Yeah, go to LAN->DHCP and view the DHCP leases.

You can also go to LAN->HOSTS and view which hosts are currently connected to the Interwebs.

If you mean "reset" as in master reset, then no.

If you mean "restart", then I suggest you use a simple €3 power timer which you would normally use on your lamps when you're away from home.

Thanks for that....what about the WEP key? Is there a tutorial for setting up a key?

Thanks for the prompt answer! My problem, is that the minimum off time for a timer like that is 15 mins, I was just hoping, , , , that there would be a software way of resetting the router on a schedule, as those resets only last 60 seconds. We have a high turnover of Mac/PC guests coming in an out of our facility and I find that I am for ever running up and down the stairs to reset the router in the attic!

Would there be any other way of addressing this issue?

Thanks
