Ac mini firmware 3.5.4 really the latest?

[evanvilla]

Hi folks,
I upgraded to 3.5.4 many months ago. I had a look online for what the latest download is and it appears it is still 3.5.4 1681 build.
Is this still the current latest release?

Hi @evanvilla,

Please take a look at this topic:

AP One AC Mini and Balance 20 - WAN connection dropping

I have the following setup with a Balance 20 and an AP AC Mini. I have had the Balance 20 for years, and I used a Linksys as an AP and all was fine. I recently got the Pepwave AC Mini to upgrade my network to AC. And I am not impressed so far. The main issue is that I keep on losing the WAN connection on devices. It is all working fine, and suddenly, the Internet stops working. The device remains connected to the Wifi network but there is no internet anymore. The only way to recover it is to sw…

The Peplink Engineering team is currently working on a 3.6.0 firmware which contains a lot of major fixes.
You can find a link to the 3.6.0 Beta 4 firmware in @Eddy_Yeung’s comment below:

Does anyone know when a firmware above 3.5.4 will be released not as a beta?

thanks

As soon as a release candidate survives testing. We are on RC7 now. Might was well install it. It’s better than 3.5.4

[evanvilla]

I don’t know what RC# mean. If I have firmware mgmt disabled in Incontrol2 will the new release appear once its no longer beta? Its better than 3.5.4 you say, it better be its been a long wait!

RC means Release Candidate. It is closed to the official release firmware (GA).

Official release firmware will appear in InControl2 firmware management once it is available.

[evanvilla]

Any idea when the official release is out? I’ve waited this long I may as well wait

[TK_Liew]

It should be around the corner. We will announce this when it is available.

Thanks.

for anyone reading this thread, 3.6.0 1805 is now out as non beta

[scuba_steve]

Just to be clear, build 1805 is not a GA release. It is a release candidate (RC8 in this case). For those not using InControl, you will need to upload the firmware or firmware pack (1158) manually.

Or you can wait, because it looks like we are getting very close to GA.

Hi Steve,
So should I hold off? I finally received a package in my incontrol (with beta not ticked).
Should I wait to avoid two upgrades in a short time?
I see 3.6.0 has the mac fixes which is what i’ve got my eye out for.

Thanks,
Evan

@evanvilla, you are right, AP firmware 3.6.0 is GA now.

AP One AC Mini and Balance 20 - WAN connection dropping

Hi all, We have announced 3.6.0 RC8 as G.A. firmware for our 802.11ac capable AP One. The firmware and release note are available in our website and InControl2. Thanks, Lewis

i’ve upgraded and so far really good. I’m liking the more descriptive field in the Name column when checking for connected clients. This code seems to be able to pick up the hostname on just about any device, ie chromecast, iphone, ipad, wifi repeater…
Yet to test the mac improvements, will report back if i find anything
