Sauna29 beta firmware quickie review

Improved Huawei E169 support is starting to look good. Tested this today and the speed is about the same as if the 3G dongle would have been connected directly to the computer (or then the 3G network just wasn’t as busy as usually :P ). What I’ve heard and read of on the forums etc., with earlier firmwares the speed has been somewhat slower when connected thru Homebox so this issue has been clearly addressed.

Annex M support kicks asses now too! Handshaking of Homebox Black with Sauna29 was approx. 2Mbit more downstream and 200Kbit more upstream when tested against Telewell TW-EA510v3 with Annex M enabled.
