Bug Fixes Since 4.2.4

UPnP enabled by default.
Fixed firmware downgrade exception (before this release, downgrading from 4.2.4 to previous version required a hardware reset).

Bug Fixes Since 4.1.11

Fixed that Macintosh browser can't access the main page of the router configuration GUI.
Fixed that the router updates the DDNS server unnecessarily frequently.
Fixed that visiting the same Web site logged multiple entries.
Fixed the router won't port forward for DNS lookup from the WAN side to the LAN side.
