The firmware version effects the stats in that it shows that the receive rate is lower then what is actually being used. This doesn't effect the performance of the broadcast, it just shows the stats wrong.

The client browser issue is something else where there modern browsers: Firefox, Chrome, and Edge will sometimes have problems connecting properly.

I see that version 3.0.3 has just been released. Does this version resolve the stats/logs problem?

Unfortunately the new version does not fix the stats problem. But it is fine to use for broadcasting.

Other information about the new 3.0.3 version, after upgrading you may run into an issue where the UI for the VidiU won't load. It either just spins or brings up and error "Unable to load settings. You may have to reboot device". We have found that the best way to fix this is by unplugging the VidiU from the network and then manually rebooting the device, plugging it back into the network and refreshing the page. It may take a few refreshes of the VidiU UI page for it to come up, but keep trying if it doesn't work the first time.

Are there any concerns yet with version 3.0.7 which seems quite new? I always hate to be the first to try new things especially when stake conference is approaching this month, but we are still on 2-something and I am feeling the dust at the rear of the wagon train.

I believe the current advice is to use the latest firmware version.

Good call. Based on posts here at the Forum, that Help Center page needs an update.

The latest version of the Teradek firmware is fine to use.

We discovered that Teradek changed the way they give us stats. This makes the stats page a little hard to read and understand what is exactly going on. We are currently in the process of making the stats page easier to read and use.

But in any case, the latest version of the VidiU firmware (3.0.7) is fine to use.
