Hello everyone,
We're excited to announce that WowWee is looking for additional beta testers for the newest version of the Rovio firmware, 5.00b7.
You can snag this version of the firmware in our downloads area by clicking here.
Once you get a chance to test the new firmware, please come back to this thread and post your feedback for WowWee. We'd love to hear how the installation process goes and all the details of how the new firmware works for you.
Looking forward to the results and your contributions to making Rovio the best it can be, happy testing!

I found updating the Network settings with Safari (Apple browser for windows) I had less problems. It feezes sometimes after the 30 sec reboot countdown but not everytime. When it does freeze I reboot Rovio and reopen the browser page.

When I upgraded to the new firmware, I received the red "X" for a few times. I had to refresh the screen until I received the download and install Active X box. After that IE works great.
The previous firmware (version 4.09 beta) didn't work in IE (7.0.6001.18000) for me.
Only the stable version (version 3.97) works fine.
Is your Operating System VISTA SP1?
For me the 4.09beta works fine in IE7 (7.0.2900.2180).
Used a lot on an XP+SP3 partition because I was the only way to use audio.
USER access is not working correctly.
Has any one tried to ceate just a USER access? As long as I have Admin access I can use Rovio as intended woth little problem. If I login with only USER access rights all I get is the camera and video, the movement controls do not work.
I use IE 7 on a PC, and no-ip.com to access rovio, I also have this problem over the lan inside the house.

Here is a thought. It would be nice to have a way to shut down rovio from across the room. You know for those moments in life the world doesn't need to see. What about an update that uses the WowWee Roboremote to turn Rovios eyes and ears off. It would also be great to have Rovio play a sound for each individual user that logs in.

Using Safari on my PowerBook running 10.5.6 results in Safari sucking most of my CPU power and making the PowerBook unresponsive or so slow to respond as to be unusable. Using Firefox 3.0.5 on my MacBook seems to work without killing the CPU on my MacBook.
Did the Update, everything configured fine. But my rovio stutters now. It hesitates to move forward at times on both local and external networks.

Mine did he same. I switched back to 3.97 and 4.09 and no problems with stutter. Which router are you using? I have Buffalo WHR-G54S. I also have tried using Apple Safari and I think the stutter is worse. IE7 seems to work better.

I don't use WPA2, just WPA for Rovio. My laptops use WPA2. Rovio has a separate SSID. In the picture, you can see my settings. The key setting is Auto. I have some of my logs filtered, so I don't know if Rovio uses TKIP, or AES. My laptops and other wireless goodies connect via TKIP (More secure than AES).
On Rovio I just put in the WPA password. Nothing else to do on Rovio. It's mostly configured on your firewall..
Hi, can i know please why don't you just use MAC-Filter security and you need WPA, WPA2?
Best regards,
JPapavas

I do use MAC address filtering with WPA2! A person shouldn't use that alone. One can use software to change their MAC address. There are tools out there to sniff for a MAC address. If a person only uses that for security, they might as well run an open system.
When you get a second, I suggest you read up how easy it is to perform
Yes, but a device see if you got the MAC address that has access and
lets you log in to the network.
There is no broadcast MAC address list so someone can "sniff" or any other way, everything happens from the device (AP) internal, so if you got athorization you can login.
The only way is if with UTP cable try to connect, he knows the administrator Password and login to the WEB interface and add the MAC Address alone.
By the way if i did see someone inside my network i will call him home to get a drink or a coffee and tell me how he done it.
By the way don't mess the WEP key with all the others.

Ahhh.... using a wireless network, your MAC address is broadcast to anyone in range (think about it, how does your laptop tell the AP that it is authorized?). All an attack needs to do is sit back and monitor the traffic, then either wait until you stop broadcasting, or knock you offline, and then spoof your MAC to gain total access (spoof as is get his network card to pretend to have your MAC address, which as has been mentioned, is fairly easy to do).
Not to mention that without some form of encryption, an attacker can monitor and record all of you traffic (including any unencrypted usernames/passwords you use to log in to various sites) without having to compromise your network.
I used to have great fun with unsecured networks, I had a little program that would sniff local traffic, and display any images that were transferred.
Updated and have the following issues:
Freezes/knocks me off when docking. When I drive the rovio and it docks the video freezes and I have to reload IE, does not happen in Firefox..but that's moot as I get no sound either way in Firefox.
Screen on IE is messed up. The Audio/Video/light etc section is displaying way down the page where you can't see it...have to scroll down to get to it, does not have this problem in firefox.

I am using
firmware 5.00b7
IE browser 6.0.2900.5512.xpsp_sp3_gdr.
WinXP Pro SP3
Whenever i change my video settings my Mic TO THE rovio stops working but i can still hear the from the rovio... when i adjust either the mic or speaker volume on the rovio then all of a sudden my mic to the rovio works again
Also out of no where my rovio started doing the thing where when going forward it is not smooth... it kinda seems like im pressing he the forward arrow button real fast.......
wierd thing is that the rovio didnt do this when i first updated the firmware it just started doing this now.... maybe its out of battery but it shows 3 out of 4 sticks on the battery life so unless the battery meter is wrong i dont know...
and before i forget ... MERRY CHRISTMAS
Thanks in Advance

Bad interface for IE in new firmware V5.00b7
.....
Moderator Edit to resize pictures so that they don't bust the thread formatting. Use a RightMouseButton-ViewImage to see the full size that is linked into the thread.
I had that also. What I had to do is to reboot Rovio. That cleared my screen up.
I split off a discussion started here about trouble connecting a Rovio.
It's now in this other thread.

ScottE -- collecting and building robots for 40 years - details in profile
I got for christmas a new rovio. The video suddenly drops for no reason. I tried rebooting the rovio, but it did not fix the issue.
I upgraded the latest firmware. I have not observe any issues. But the problem with the video suddenly dropping still happens. The video dropping happens both in the internal and external internet. For no reason at all the video comes back after a while.
Can anybody help what the problem mybe?
