My apps for literally over a decade now have used the MyODBC 3.51 driver to connect to MySQL (and now MariaDB), database version 10+. It still works great and so my inkling is to stay with this old ODBC 3.51 version, but wanted to poll the virtual office here and see if others thought a more compelling reason to upgrade the ODBC version to something more recent.

My land-line broadband connection here in India is up and down like a yo-yo. One of the local cellphone companies (Reliance Jio) has recently offered a sim + dongle deal that will connect up to 10 wifi devices. I am mostly impressed with the performance, and use it whenever the landline goes down - BUT if I leave my adsl router connected I can 'see' the Jio wifi but my browser/email do not connect. If I switch off the router internet access works immediately but I lose lan access to NAS and wired devices (I prefer wired connection from my main PC to the router although wireless is available). Can any network gurus out there please help me with this - remembering that it should be fairly quick and easy to revert to plain old bsnl landline + router. I've tried Googling this but I think the question is too complicated for it.
thanks - AndyD
Just trial-and-error? NO harm adventuring about new "toys"... just don't push the changes to your production system by accident! :)

3.51 has always worked for me..... Change at your own peril!
I wouldn't see any advantage to changing unless they brought out a better 64 bit driver - I could use it in C# then without having to generate x86 apps.
