We'll be deploying 1.43 to ShoutWiki sites this weekend. Staff will be working all weekend to deal with any unforeseen bugs that crop up.
CreateWiki will not be available immediately after the upgrade; however, we expect the rewrite to be completed during this release cycle.

Overview
"EWW604-B1-L5 REV:205 (XC)" is silkscreened on the board in the photos.
"EWW604-B1-L5 REV:305 (XD)" is silkscreened on one newer revision unit.
Newer revision units omit a populated serial header and likely have newer firmware (which locks out flashing third-party firmware), necessitating flashing via manual TFTP in U-Boot (see here). According to the Product comparison chart of the EA7500, EA8500, E8350 and E8400
- from Linksys, the E8500 supports wireless bridge and wireless repeater modes.
Wi-Fi Certified : WFA59270 (as of 04/14/2015)
