I have been running the new firmware release 4.2.0 on an MBR95 and have not seen any issues with regards to stability and overall operation.

Looking Good;-)

I have been running firmware 4.2.0 since yesterday and haven't noticed any issues as of yet. I am primarily using a WiFi as WAN connection to my Linksys access point. I have also tested data usage with this firmware and just as the previous firmware versions, it works quite well!

I have not seen an improvement of the WiFi as WAN which is what I was hoping was improved. With the Novatel 4620LE there is still a frequent loss of the connection for the Cradlepoint 1400 and so far the only fix I find works everytime is to totally shut down the 4620LE and then after it reconnects to power the 1400 back on and let it re-establish a new connection to the 4620LE.

It also greatly reduces throughput over time until it does shut down completely. Average speeds drop by 80%. Hope that for the extra bucks the 1400 would perform better than the MBR95 but that has not been the case.
