Note: It is strongly recommended that customers download and install both the new ZXP Series 8 firmware and driver together to take advantage of the important changes. Due to a bug found in v3.01.00 FW related to Wi-Fi operation, v4.03.00 FW has fixed the bug, for users who operate in Wi-Fi, it will be necessary to download v4.03.00 FW with either Ethernet or USB.
