GPS location is still not in Incontrol. Ok on router dashboard and gpx file is ok too. But nothing in Incontrol. Tested RC on BR2 and GA on B20X.

Is Wireguard Remote User Access supported on FusionHub? Any limitations?
Was unable to upgrade to 8.6.0 on a MAX Transit Duo Pro.
Received an error on the firmware page “Error: Invalid Storage”.
I submitted Ticket #26071204 for this one.

Separately from the above specific device issue… Other device upgrades (different models) also failed several times before being successful… Sometimes I had to reboot the device before the firmware update would succeed.
Thank you!

What were the other models that you had failures with?
Hi @MichaelG ,
Once I took a closer look, I should clarify my above message - it looks like I have two devices that won’t upgrade to the 8.6 firmware and turns out they are both MAX Transit Duo Pros (experiencing the same “Invalid Storage” error).
The other model I had some difficulty with was a MAX BR2 Pro 5G - but it was a synergized device which might have been a factor in the upgrade experience.
All other models have gone without issue (SDX Pro, MBX Mini, 310X, B One – all good!).
Lost WAN (PHY) connection (Starlink) after upgrade from 8.5.4 to 8.6.0
Reverted back to 8.5.4 and issue persists “No cable detected”
Starlink was “Standing by” in priority 2 at the moment of the upgrade
It was working no changes on cabling.
Any advise?

Hello,
There is an Important Notice in the release notes for 8.6.0 :
The following models must be upgraded to Firmware 8.5.4 before upgrading to Firmware 8.6.0:
BR: BR1 Pro (CAT-20), BR1 Pro 5G, BR2 Pro
Dome, Transit, B One: All
However, when I click “Check Firmware Upgrade” on a BR2 Pro currently running Firmware 8.2.1, the Web Admin interface directly offers Firmware 8.6.0 as the available upgrade. Could this cause issues?

Hi,
I just tested this on a B One 5G HW2 (Same platform as BR2 Pro 5G) and the device did not came online via the WAN port.
Device was still reachable locally via the WebGUI. Rebooted back to the previous 8.5.0 firmware and device came online again.
Not sure if I was just lucky with being able to go into the local WebGUI, I don’t recommend trying this out.
If you have the devices in the Peplink InControl2 system I would recommend to have a firmware policy groupe wide to upgrade automatically to 8.5.4 and mark the box upgrade only, so any devices that have 8.6.0 or higher in the future will not be downgraded.
Hope this helps. 
@JoeyJanssen I am interested on this. Can you help to download Diagnostic Report when the problem occurs in 8.6.0? Then reboot it back to the previous firmware, turn on RA, and open ticket for us to check?
Thanks.
