This post is for existing WiFiRanger owners. A new firmware update is now available for all WiFiRanger products. The new release is labeled 7.0.3 and all Ranger owners are encouraged to upgrade their devices. The release is primarily a bug-fix and stability improvement upgrade.

Technomadia has an article about the update here: WiFiRanger update

Gosh, gee golly! That's exactly how I know that WiFiRanger updates are available and how I download them. Isn't it amazing that even my HP printer does the same thing, as does my wife's sewing machine? Will wonders never cease?

I don't have to go to a website to update my Ranger either. I'm not using it at the moment so it's unplugged. That's why it didn't update itself.

I know you have seen my struggles and irreconcilable issues with the many WiFi Ranger products I tested and used for so many years. I now find that my Cradlepoint does it all and when a firmware update is available I don't have to go to a website to find out, it takes care of letting me know automatically and it's just a matter of pushing a button to get it done.
I am simply a very happy Cradlepoint owner.

Thanks. I'll update mine today.

Best of luck to all you Ranger folks who have to deal with this company.

Bill:

To be precise, this is the first update since July, 2015 which doesn't represent nearly as frequent updates as I get for Itunes, Adobe Acrobat, Windows or my HP printer!

In many previous threads, you have clearly established that you have a personal grudge against WiFiRanger and I have no intention of re-opening that wound. The purpose of my post was simply to inform our existing customer base of an available update and was not intended as a marketing effort to lure new customers.
