I updated right when it came out. I haven't experienced any problems with the update. I did notice previously (before the update) that very sporadically my basestation signal would completely disappear and require me to manually restart. So far after the update - it hasn't occurred ... yet. :)

I'm not very optimistic about this BS firmware.
