This notice is being provided in an effort to supply information concerning
the DW7000 upgrade program.

The DW7000 upgrade program, which is scheduled to launch November 3rd, will
be offered to current DW4000 and DW6000 consumers. The majority of these
customers will be able to complete the upgrade process themselves; however,
a small percentage of the customers will need an installer to complete the
upgrade. In those situations, the orders will be routed in the same manner
as the fulfillment installation & repair orders.

Also on MyDirecWay.com



I'll probably be upgrading as soon as my dad gets back from Italy.

There are many posters at dslreports.com that are getting some good speeds and I've only seen a couple people with bad ones.

If you're on the 4000, I would stay (unless you need the upload), but if you're on the 6000 definately upgrade.

Interesting a new firmware release is coming in a few days if only a couple of us are having problems  Question

There are MANY having issues with the 7000....another product released crippled out of the box, for many customers.

My firmware shows up to date from Nov 1 2005

Software Date: Nov 1 2005, 13:45:41
Software Release: 5.0.1.26

so guess it never came out?

also here is another recent  post from another member about new firmware

NEWS...

Over at the dslreports.com forum...a member said that Engineering told him that there was a firmware problem on a lot of the DW7000 modems, and that they are going to rollout new firmware starting Tuesday.  Don't expect to get it right away, those firmware updates usually take a few days to go out to everybody.  I'm willing to bet that everyone on IA8 (decade) will get it first, and then satmex....

Just hang in there a few more days, I think they'll get it fixed...just wish it didn't take them so darn long...

My point is obviously there are more than a "couple" not happy with  the 7000, as most any related forum you wish to browse shows many upload issues with the 7000.
