Maestro's impressive network recovery

I tried a test that I was certain the Maestro wouldn't be able to pass, but it did with most impressive results.  I was SWL with Maestro via the WiFi link. I wanted to switch off WiFi and convert to the wired ethernet direct to radio. Normally, I'd power cycle the Maestro believing it won't re-establish the link after such a switch. Low and behold, it does! Terminating the WiFI and plugging in the wired Ethernet the Maestro re-established the connection in under a minute. Maybe I'm easily impressed but this seems brilliant especially considering the Maestro crossed subnets and found / linked to the 6500 on it's own (did not have to select radio)

Additionally, the WiFi performance seems much improved these days. Scratch 'seems', make that a more definite Is-in-fact. Not sure if this is due to some 'tuning' on  my end of the WiFi setup or the s/w release has some intentional / serendipitous improvements.
