Unfortunately - because of D-Link's "segmented" approach - you have no guarantee that the 1.08B05 release on the Australian site is in any way related to the 1.08 Build 05 beta on the US site.  It could be the same thing and it just as easily could be different.

Take a look at this - the Australian site does not offer firmware beyond 1.06 for Rev A hardware, but, the US site makes no differentiation between the hardware revisions and offers 1.07 as it's latest - so what does that mean for an Australian user of Rev A hardware - has he been abandoned, is he being forced to upgrade to newer Rev B (or even Rev C) hardware?

Did you notice that the Australian site does not indicate that their 1.08B05 is a beta and that the US site have not released 1.08 as final?  Are you aware that there is a 1.08 BUILD 07 beta "lurking in the wild", suggesting that D-Link (US) may not yet been finished with the 1.08 firmware?

The moral?  Make no assumptions

At least I stated the facts as I could see them, thanks for the lesson.  I will await others postings of 'official' releases in future.

That "lesson" was not directed at you - but at the person who seemed to feel that the Australian release was the same as the beta - your question (in my opinion) was a reasonable one, his/her response is based on an assumption that may or may not be incorrect.

To be honest - I like your approach - personally I'm not in favour of updating firmware simply because there is a newer one, I like to know what it includes and of course what it might break.
