KCS firmware bugs
#1
Not sure where to report this, but three bugs I've found with the KCS firmware, latest version (v2.2.8).

  1. The LAN activity LED (green) flickers constantly even though there's no activity on the LAN.  Since this is a network activity indicator it should only be lit when there's network traffic.
  2. The WiFi status indicator in the Network settings is wrong, it always displays enabled even if it's not.  To see this, go to Network -> WiFi, click on "enable" to make it disabled (greyed out), click Save, the system restarts and it's marked as enabled again.  The only way to tell its actual state is via a WiFi scanner to see if the KC868... AP is present or not.
  3. Time handling is wrong, with the default time zone of UTC the board displays the current time as 17:41 but it's actually 12:41, so it's five hours out.  It's also not possible to set all time zones, it stops at UTC+12 but there are countries which are currently at UTC+13.  A better way to handle this would be to allow for DST, since UTC+13 is actually UTC+12 + DST offset of 1 hour.  Without this, it's necessary to manually change the time on the board every time a DST changeover occurs.

Sure, just reflashed with 2.2.10:

  1. LAN LED still flickers continuously.
  2. WiFi status bug is still present.
  3. Time bug is still present, time is out by five hours.
So none of the bugs are fixed in 2.2.10.

Kincony A868-A16 Rev 1.6.

I've just had another look at the LAN status LED and it's settled down to a solid colour, so maybe the initial constant flickering was due to some diagnostic running or something.  I left it for awhile and it was still flickering, but it looks like it settles down after some time.
