Versions: DIAG & LITE.

DIAG

  • Might not perform optimally on a 8MB ram modem (16/32mb upgrade recommended).
  • Based on sb5101u/n firmware (which includes diagnostic output, console and SPI support)
  • Much more Verbose to troubleshoot issues.
  • Standby button does not work
  • Memory leak on SPI modems fixed in Rev39

LITE

  • Based on sb5101e firmware
  • Does not support SPI flash based modems.
  • Crippled shell & much less diagnostic output in telnet/serial.
  • Static IP option is missing because there is no ipconfig command in the shell anymore (and the entire /ip page is missing too).
  • The standby button on a 5101 works in LITE
